Ditch the Stress - Embrace the Adventure
Let's Start Planning!
Traditional weddings often come with endless planning, demanding guests, and the pressure of being the center of attention. But your day doesn’t have to look like that. Instead, imagine an stress-free adventure where the focus is entirely on the two of you—having fun, exploring together, and making unforgettable memories. I’ll help you create a luxurious outdoor experience that’s all about celebrating your love, your way

If you've been dreaming about tying the knot in an epic location – then you're in the right place!
Just Imagine:
- Skiing down the slopes to a secluded spot to say your vows while the snow gently falls, followed by cozying up together in the lodge with hot cocoa
- Backpacking to a fire lookout for the night and watching the stars come out. Waking up in the morning with your favorite person to say your vows as the sun rises
- Riding a helicopter to the top of a glacier to get married with total privacy, surrounded by towering blocks of ice and crystal clear water
“We’re from the Midwest and had never visited that side of the country before—Hannah was amazing every step of the planning process, from helping us pick a location to figuring out logistics and timelines. We greatly appreciated her insight and experience!”
“We got our first look photos back so fast, and I was blown away. They are so dreamy and perfect. As a plus size bride, I was really amazed at how flattering the angles and action shots were too. It doesn’t hurt that she made us feel super comfortable, so the photos aren’t awkward or posed. In short, book with Hannah—she is going to care for you from start to finish and we highly recommend her!”

Local experience
Landscape Specialist
Natural Posing
I live full-time in Vancouver, Washington and spend all of my free time exploring in the Pacific Northwest. I'm not just passing through - this is my forever home! Whether you call Washington home as well or are new to the Pacific Northwest, I give all my couples the best advice (like what to wear in the pouring rain) from a local.
With over 15 years of photography experience, I know how to create an amazing landscape photo. I specialize in composing the perfect landscape shots - featuring you! The photos you hang on your wall and make people say "wow". From star photos to watefalls to the Northern Lights, I've shot it all and love to incorporate these elements into your day! This is also why my planning expertise is so important- I'll make sure we're in the right place at the right time to get the best light!
My approach to posing is givng you space to be yourselves and just have fun on your wedding day. You should be able to focus completely on each other (and forget I'm even there). I plan lots of activites into your day so you naturally have fun things to do and it won't feel like an hours-long photoshoot. If you're like me and think you're super awkward in photos - I've got you! I'll always give suggestions for how to make you look your best self.
“Hannah made my whimsical fairy princess wedding dreams come true!”
“She’s thorough, easy to work with, made us feel completely comfortable, and took a lot of the work and planning out of our elopement. I appreciated her attention to detail and I can’t wait for the rest of our photos—the sneak peeks were to die for!”
-Chelsea + Zach
How to Elope with Wandering Peaks
Step 2: Plan
Step 1: Meet
Step 3: Elope!
First, we get to know each other! We’ll hop on a video call, chat about your love story, your favorite adventures, and what your dream wedding day looks like. Whether you already know you want to say your vows on a mountain peak or you have no idea where to start — that’s totally okay!
This is your chance to ask me all your burning questions about eloping. Want to know how permits work? Curious how long we should hike for the best views? Unsure how to include family? We’ll go over it all. By the end of the call, you’ll feel excited, confident, and ready to start planning something epic.
Once you’re officially booked, the real fun begins! I’ll send over my exclusive elopement planning resources — guides packed with location ideas, timelines, activity suggestions, and insider tips I’ve learned from years of exploring wild places with couples.
We’ll work together to create a completely stress-free, unforgettable day that’s totally YOU. Want to paddle across an alpine lake? Stargaze by a campfire? Hike through a rainforest? I’ll help make it happen. I also send you personalized recommendations for lodging, fun activities, and awesome vendors (if you want them).
Plus, I’ll keep you on track with reminders for important stuff like marriage licenses, permits, and any little details you might forget. You can sit back, relax, and actually enjoy this process.
The big day is here — it’s time to celebrate! We’ll spend the day exploring, laughing, soaking in the views, and capturing every incredible moment along the way. Whether we’re hiking through the mountains, wandering the coast, or chasing waterfalls, your elopement will be full of adventure, connection, and the kind of memories that last a lifetime.
You get to be fully present with your partner, without any stress or pressure. I’ll document the whole story so you can relive the magic over and over — and trust me, these photos are going to be epic.
Planning an elopement doesn’t have to be overwhelming — I’ve got your back every step of the way! Here’s exactly how the process works when you elope with me:

what is an Adventure Elopement to you?
Wandering Peaks defines an Adventure elopement as:
- Experiencing somewhere wild, beautiful, and maybe a little off the beaten path
- Connecting with each other surrounded by nature (and zero stress)
- Challenging yourselves with a new experience or epic activity
- Discovering a place that feels special and making unforgettable memories
- Doing something meaningful to celebrate your love story
- Spending real, quality time together — without rushing or timelines that don’t feel like you
- Being 100% yourselves on one of the biggest days of your lives
At the end of the day, it’s simple — it’s about you two spending your entire day doing what makes you happiest… no matter what that looks like. Whether that’s hiking to a mountaintop, exploring a hidden beach, or finding your own little corner of the world that feels as magical as Middle Earth — your adventure is yours.
“She will work to acheive the vision you have"
“Working with Hannah was such an excellent experience! She is very easy to talk to which makes the whole process feel so much easier! We flew from Georgia to Washington and she was able to help a lot with local vendor recommendations including lodging. Our photos are a dream and I know this experience and the results will be cherished for a lifetime."

Why CHoose an adventure elopement?
1. Privacy
2. no Stress
3. Save Money
At the end of the day, it's your wedding and it should be you and your partner's dream day together
If you’re an introvert like me, the idea of public speaking in front of a crowd sounds like pure torture. With an elopement, you can share your vows in total privacy — just you, your partner, and maybe some mountains or ocean waves as your witnesses. I've spent countless hours finding those hidden, wild spots where you can truly soak in the moment together.
Eloping means no giant to-do list, no awkward seating charts, and no worrying about who’s gluten-free or where to rent 100 chairs. It’s just you, your love, an epic location, and me — your adventure buddy, photographer, and planning expert. I’ll help handle the details so you can actually enjoy your day, soak it all in, and make unforgettable memories together.
Did you know the average wedding in the US costs $30,000? Wild, right?! You could spend a fraction of that on an epic adventure elopement AND an unforgettable honeymoon. All you truly need is an officiant, a photographer to capture the memories… and hey, I can help with both!
4. More Time Together
Instead of spending your wedding day apart — getting ready separately, making small talk with guests — you can spend every single moment together. From sunrise coffee to sunset hikes, the whole day (or days!) is all about you two making memories side by side.
5. Your day, your Way
The day you and your partner decide to get married should reflect you - your interests, your vibe, your favorite things. When you elope, you get to choose everything about the day without worrying what other people think. The day is for you and you alone.
6. Be Different
Let’s be honest, nobody else you know is going to have a wedding like this. Forget cookie-cutter venues and awkward receptions. Instead, picture yourselves having a blast in some epic place, celebrating your love with adventure, connection, and some seriously incredible photos to look back on.
