"I'd rather hike than walk down the aisle."
If that sounds like you? You’re in the right place.
Let’s trade the altar for a mountaintop, the seating chart for a cliffside picnic, and the stress for something real. You’re dreaming of a laid-back, meaningful day surrounded by the wild beauty of the Pacific Northwest — not a cookie-cutter ceremony or anything that feels forced.
You want time to breathe, space to connect, and photos that feel honest and effortless. Whether it’s windswept cliffs on the Oregon Coast, mossy trails in Olympic National Park, or a quiet lakeside moment in Mount Hood, your elopement deserves more than just someone with a camera. It deserves someone who knows these places, loves them as much as you do, and can help bring your vision to life — with less pressure and way more joy.
BOOK YOUR
ELOPEMENT
pnw elopement photographer
I’m Meg — an elopement photographer, planner, and long-time lover of the Pacific Northwest. Even though I’m not originally from here, the PNW has become my home base — and one of my favorite places on earth to help couples get married.
For the past six years, I’ve been traveling to this region multiple times a year, exploring nearly every corner of it. I’ve photographed elopements from the mossy trails of Olympic National Park to the cliffs of Cannon Beach and the forests and peaks around Mount Hood. I’ve planned full retreats, guided couples through permit logistics, and built strong relationships with local vendors and venues — so when I say I know this region inside and out, I mean it.
The PNW has every landscape you could imagine — ocean, mountains, forest, waterfalls — and it just never gets old. This place brings me to life in a way I can’t fully explain. Watching the evergreens get greener as you drive toward the coast, hiking a new mountain every time I visit, or even just going for a run in a neighborhood surrounded by falling leaves — it always feels like magic. I will never get tired of it.
Whether you’re dreaming of somewhere remote and wild or accessible and cozy, I offer free travel throughout the entire region and can’t wait to help you plan a day that feels natural, intentional, and totally you.

My Philosophy & Vision
Your MEMORIES matter more to me than perfect photos.
I believe your wedding day should feel like an extension of who you are — wild, intentional, and full of meaning. Not something that checks boxes or follows outdated traditions, but an experience that reflects your story and everything you love most.
Whether that means hiking to a mountaintop in Washington, running barefoot on the Oregon Coast, or cozying up in a cabin deep in the forest — I’m here to help bring it to life. I’ll guide you through every step, from choosing the perfect location to creating a stress-free timeline. I believe traditions are meant to be made, not followed — so let’s design a day that tells your story.
Life is an adventure, so let’s make your wedding one, too.

"BEST DECISION YOU WILL MAKE. Meg is a supremely talented photographer! Her style is extremely unique and absolutely gorgeous. The photographs we have received from her are the best I have ever seen. We hired her for our engagement and wedding photography and we have had countless people come up to us and inquire about her because her work stands for itself! In addition she is tremendous to work with. During our wedding she was part of the party and made the photography process feel so effortless and natural and I think that really comes out in the pictures. She has completely exceeded my expectations in every aspect and I couldn't recommend her more!"
