Hey there!

I'm Valerie, your go-to adventure elopement and intimate wedding photographer based right here in Seattle, Washington, but ready to travel wherever your love takes us.

Born on the other side of the world, I've wandered through over 45 countries before finally settling down and finding my bliss in the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. My journey started with falling head over heels for my hubby, but it was the breathtaking landscapes of this region that truly stole my heart. That's when I knew I had to share the magic through my lens as an adventure elopement photographer.

For me, elopement photography is more than just snapping pictures – it's about embracing authenticity and living life on your own terms. I believe in helping couples craft a day that speaks to their souls, free from outside pressures and full of genuine connection. My mission is to be a beacon for those who dare to forge their own path and choose the intimacy of elopement over a grand traditional wedding.

The work I do goes beyond capturing stunning images, I'm here to guide you every step of the way:

* From planning the perfect adventure elopement or intimate wedding
* To scouting out dreamy locations and handling permit applications
* To recommending local vendors and adding fun activities to your day
* To creating a seamless timeline and fostering a relaxed atmosphere on your Big Day
* And yes, even officiating ceremonies (I'm ordained!)
