I’m Brianna…
and I believe the PNW is the most spectacular place on Earth.
You? You’re the kind of person that gets a lil’ teary eyed looking at an epic view.
Landscapes help you see how big the world is and make you grateful for your place in it. For the opportunity to live and grow and love on this earth.
How do I know that? Because I feel that way, too.
My favorite thing (besides my husband and lab, Cooper), is the feeling of sharing a magical place with someone I know will find it special.
That moment when you turn to the person you’re with and ask, “Are you seeing this?” I live for it. Places with trees and mountains and soft breezes that make you say, “I can’t believe this place exists,” I spend pretty much all of my free time searching for and exploring them.
These places have always felt like home to me. And if you’re the kind of person who also feels more at home surrounded by trees than by people? Then we’ll get along really well. The Pacific Northwest is full of secret spots that are too special to share with just anyone. But it would make me happy to share them with you on your wedding day.
I regret my wedding day…
You read that right. I regret my wedding (check out the wedding photo circa 2018).
Don’t get me wrong, I love my husband. Wouldn’t change that part. 😉
But we feel most connected when we’re looking at forests and mountains together, not when we’re surrounded by family and friends. So it didn’t make sense for us to spend all that money on a day that didn’t feel like… us.
I want you to have a day that you won’t regret. Whether that means I need to hike to the waterfall ahead of time to scout out angles or research the best flower vendors and henna artists in the Redwoods so you don’t have to, I’m excited to give you a day that’s actually about you.
“Our one wish was for the day to be super relaxed and Brianna totally made that happen.
Brianna was absolutely WONDERFUL to work with! From the beginning, she communicated with us about every detail and what to expect moving forward. It was such a fun day and Brianna makes you feel so comfortable, you forget she’s taking pictures of you. We wanted our very energetic (wild!) dog to be a part of the day and Brianna was on board from the start. We can’t say enough about how great Brianna is- she can help you with every aspect of planning- but then, she delivers the most BEAUTIFUL photos to you. Incredible experience. We’re so happy we chose Brianna for our elopement!

So… what’s it like to have me follow you around with a camera?
The short answer: not as weird as it sounds.
The long answer: I’m pretty quiet behind the camera and take on a much more documentary kind of approach. You being authentic together is what I’m most excited to capture.
I will probably ask you about your favorite place you’ve ever been (mine’s Olympic National Park), your taste in music (any Beach House fans out there?), and your dog if you have one (please tell me you have one).
We’ll build breaks and private moments for just the two of you into the day, and I’ll do anything I can to make the experience as special and comfortable as it can be for you.

Go ahead… stalk, surveil, and spy.
This is for research purposes after all…
- I’m an enneagram 1 and Capricorn (in short, a huge perfectionist).
- I’ll happily work to Phoebe Bridgers, Beach House, or Fleetwood Mac on repeat.
- Growing up, I wanted to be a fashion designer. These days, I design intentional elopement experiences instead (okay, I still sew on the side).
- I love knitting, crocheting, cooking, cycling, and getting lost in a good book.
- McDonald’s is my not-so-secret guilty pleasure.
- I’ve spent over 200 hours location scouting in the Pacific Northwest and know these places better than I know myself.
- I’m an ordained officiant and can legally officiate your ceremony.
- I practice all seven principles of Leave No Trace and care deeply about sustainability and protecting the places we get to experience.
- Love is love. I proudly photograph couples of all races, sizes, identities, and orientations.
- I’m CPR and First-Aid certified, because adventure is fun, but preparedness matters too.
“Obviously, you want good pictures, but you also want to find someone that gets you.
When you are planning on getting married, finding and choosing a photographer is one of the most anxiety-inducing aspects. Brianna met all of our needs for our elopement. It was truly a joy working with her, and I feel so lucky that we chose her to photograph these important moments for us. Please, look no further if you are looking for an elopement photographer. You’ve already landed in the right spot, just go ahead and reach out to her!”

Daydreaming of a special spot in the PNW you’ve always wanted to visit?
I’ve probably got an elopement guide for it.
