“The day of our wedding was stress free, fun and it felt like we were spending the day with a friend.”
“Hannah is amazing and her work is breathtaking! We knew she was the one to trust with our special day after our very first call with her. Hannah helped us coordinate the entire day and helped us find other wonderful vendors that assisted in bringing our vision to life. Our wedding day was better than we even imagined. Hannah's eye for beautiful shots is unmatched. We highly recommend Wandering Peaks / Hannah for anyone looking for an adventure, laughs and amazing photos of memories to last a lifetime.

The Idea of A “Traditional” Wedding Just Doesn’t Feel Right
LET ME GUESS...
And that’s okay! It didn’t feel right to my husband and I either (we went skiing on our wedding day!). But just because you’re not doing the whole big party doesn’t mean that you can’t have one epic day. With me on your team, I’ll help you craft an elopement that not only aligns with who you are as a couple, but brings your biggest dreams to life.
Hi, I’m Hannah
I’ve always had a big love for the mountains and spending time surrounded by natural beauty. And with Wandering Peaks, I’m lucky enough to share that love with you through adventurous and fun-loving elopement photography.
With my passion for outdoor exploration and my ability to keep up with even the most adventurous couples, I’ll guide you in planning a truly personalized elopement experience you’ll never ever forget.

And there’s nothing I love more than an adventure
“My partner and I both wanted something more intimate, fun, and just truly unforgettable. Working with Hannah was the best decision we made to achieve our perfect wedding day.”
“I cannot recommend Hannah enough! She offered great communication, was easy to work with, and captured the most amazing pictures! We decided on a harder hike and she was so patient through it all—we had the most perfect elopement.”

The Wandering Peaks Way
See if our values align
I celebrate all love, so just know that when you work with me, I’m ready to celebrate you and your partner for who you are. LGBTQ+ friendly, BIPOC inclusive.
All Love Matters
The world around us isn’t to be taken for granted—it’s to be cherished and cared for. I practice Leave No Trace principles, so we leave your elopement site just as beautiful as we found it.
Nature Is A Gift
A lifelong hiker and adventurer, I've learned to be prepared for anything in the outdoors! I always carry extra layers, snacks, water, and a first aid kit in case any of us need it. I'm also CPR/First Aid certified.
safety first
“When we decided that we wanted to do an adventure elopement in Washington, the first thing my husband said was, ‘If we do this, we’re definitely going with Hannah!’ She is the absolute best.”
“We are so glad we chose Wandering Peaks Photography. Hannah’s portfolio is super impressive, and she was wonderful every step of the way. She created an itinerary for our day that was personalized and perfect for us. She was organized and responsive, answered our questions quickly, and checked in regularly. And on the day of, Hannah was professional, patient, and just fun to hang out with! The photos we received speak for themselves. She captured us and the beautiful Pacific Northwest brilliantly. We will cherish these memories and photos forever.”

Hobbies
01.
I’m sure you’ve guessed, but I love to spend my free time doing literally anything in the mountains. Hiking, snowshoeing, skiing, kayaking, rafting—you name it, I’ll do it!
Favorite Animal
02.
Elephants, hands down! I even spent two amazing months studying them in Sri Lanka. I’ve also visited elephant sanctuaries in Thailand and Indonesia, and have traveled to Africa multiple times to see them in the wild.
Bucket List Destinations
03.
There are so many stunning places in the world, and I’m incredibly lucky to have visited many of them. Next on my list? Patagonia, Japan, Alaska, and The Dolomites in Italy.
Obsessions
04.
I guess you could say I’m a nerd at heart because I’m an avid fan of Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Game of Thrones. I would love to see all of the beautiful places the movies and shows were filmed (which would be an incredible elopement, *wink wink*). Some of my other obsessions are The Office, Sarah J. Maas books, Assasins Creed, Gordan Ramsey cooking shows, and Crime Junkies podcast

Local experience
Landscapes are Key
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.
My love story
My (now) husband and I met online in August 2021 and went on a sunrise hike to a waterfall for our very first date! We pretty quickly knew we were going to be together forever and even planned our first trip to Africa together after only knowing each other for two months! I firmly believe traveling together is the best test for compatability!
Two years later, we got engaged on a fall hike to Lake Valhalla, which will always be such a special place for me. We started planning our wedding day and I knew I wanted it to be epic!
In April, 2024, we got married at Timberline Lodge in Oregon, where we spend the vast majority of our time skiing in the winter. On our day, we skied to a private spot in the woods to say our vows just the two of us. Skiing in my wedding dress was so exhilarating, it was definitely the highlight of my day!
After skiing, we got to take the snow cat up to Silcox Hut where our closest family and friends were waitng for us. It was the perfect day for us.
Now here we are 4 years later, having traveled to 4 continents together, bought and renovated a house in our dream location, adopted two cats and a puppy, and planning many more adventures to come!
