What is an elopement, anyway?
It’s a chance to give yourselves a wedding experience that feels true to who you are and what matters most to you — not to Pinterest.
Think of this less like a “wedding” and more like a call to adventure: gearing up, exploring a new place, experiencing something new to start this new chapter together.
Whatever you want that to look like —
a slow day of exploring
a barefoot ceremony on the beach
a seaplane flight to somewhere new + wild
a cozy weekend away with your favorite people
a day filled to the brim with new adventures
or a quiet, intimate day relaxing somewhere serene
— we’re here to help you make it happen.
Elopement planning doesn’t have to be complicated
Planning an elopement isn’t as stressful or complex as a big wedding, but it can still feel overwhelming. You don’t need all the answers — just focus on what kind of experience you want and I’ll help with the logistics to make it happen.
Even if right now all you know is that you want to elope, that’s the perfect place to start.
Step 1: Pick a spot (together)
Not sure exactly where you want to elope? No problem. Tell me what kind of scenery or vibes you want. I’ll help recommend spots that fit your vision.
Step 2: Time it right
I’ll help you time it right at your location — we’ll talk seasonality and scheduling, and I’ll help you plan a timeline around the best light + privacy, and make sure your day doesn’t feel rushed.
Step 3: Let me handle the logistics
I’ll help with: Locations | Permits | Timeline planning | Activities | Vendor lists | Backup plans | Ceremony | Unique touches | Gear lists | Final prep
What We Do
We’re a small team of photographers based in Seattle, with passions for human connection, mindfulness, and outdoor adventure.
Think of us as your experts on all things elopement — part guide, planner, photographer, and officiant, here to help you plan the elopement of your dreams from start to finish.
We’ve helped plan hundreds of elopements across Washington, but no two are ever the same — each experience is entirely tailored around your preferences, abilities, and wishes.
Here’s a fun behind-the-scenes look at how we plan and document elopements in Washington:
Our Favorite Elopement Locations
Washington has SO much to offer for adventure elopements — snow-capped mountains and alpine meadows blooming with wildflowers, lush old growth rainforests covered in moss and ferns, roaring waterfalls and rivers fed by glacial waters, and rugged, moody coastlines that go on for miles. We’ll help you find the perfect spot.
North Cascades + Mt. Baker
Our favorite alpine area in WA: rugged, remote, iconic. Turquoise alpine lakes, lush forests, world-class views. Options for hiking elopements + accessible ceremonies. Limited access: aim for July-Oct for best alpine conditions.
Olympic National Park
Incredible diversity of scenery: mountains, forest, coast, rivers, lakes, waterfalls, all in one park. Great for “just us” elopements or small groups. Year-round accessibility.
Mount Rainier National Park
Great for hiking elopements + group ceremonies. Great diversity: mountains, meadows, forests, waterfalls. Limited access — aim for July-Oct for clear alpine access, or winter wonderland elopements in Feb-Mar.

“Ashton went above and beyond. Not only did he capture every special moment, but he also provided much-needed hot coffee at 6 a.m., bandaids for when a choice to jump off a rock was made, committing to get into Lake Crescent when we decided to jump in. So many memorable moments he made with us. We seriously walked away feeling like we have a new friend in our life, which was icing on top of the cake for our perfect day. Thank you so much!”
— Casey & Jarrett @ Olympic
“They were incredible throughout the planning phase. They were on top of all the nuances of an adventure elopement and kept us up-to-date, including national park rules and requirements, road and weather conditions, leave no trace principles, contingency plans, and more. As adventure elopement planners, Wilderpines is top notch and exceeded our expectations.”
— Monica & Nic @ Mt. Rainier
Don't take it from us...
From past adventurers
“We had an absolutely amazing experience! From the beginning we were well taken care of. Their communication is stellar and every single detail was thought through for our special day. On the day Ashton went above and beyond to make things comfortable and magical for us. Like having a friend spend the day with us and take our photos. 10/10 recommend Wilderpines to anyone looking for an easy, intimate, magical, stress-free elopement day. Thank you!”
— Kayley & Joe @ Mt. Baker
