I’ll take all the guesswork out of where to go, what to do, and when to do it — so your only job is to soak it all in and be wildly present for your best day ever. You get to focus on each other, the epic scenery, and maybe sneaking a few peanut M&M's along the trail — I’ll handle the rest.
Let’s be real — when you elope, you’re spending a LOT of time with your photographer. So it helps if they feel more like a friend who just happens to be amazing with a camera. That’s where I come in. Whether we’re wandering through mossy forests or exploring mountain peaks, I’ve got you covered.
"There was no stress on our wedding day, and we had fun! If Hannah has suggestions for you about anything, just roll with it because trust me, she knows what she’s talking about!”
As a Washington girl who’s traversed the globe and spent countless hours exploring the wild, I’m uniquely equipped to help you plan and execute an elopement filled with I-can’t-believe-we’re-doing-this kind of adventure.
I’ve planned and photographed elopements everywhere from rugged mountains to wild coastlines, and I know how to help make your day feel relaxed, fun, and totally “you".
That’s where elopements come in. Just because you're eloping doesn't mean you are running away. It’s about choosing a day that feels true to you — with no pressure, no timelines dictated by distant relatives, and no fake smiles for photos you don’t want. Whether you're hiking through mossy forests that feel straight out of Middle-earth, exchanging vows by an alpine lake, or hopping on a plane to Iceland or New Zealand, I’m here to help you craft an experience that feels authentic, adventurous, and just a little bit magical.
Oh, and I’m not just your photographer. I’ll be your location scout, timeline wizard, snack packer, and low-key hype squad. Basically, I’m like Samwise Gamgee — here to carry the snacks, the gear, and make sure your elopement feels as epic as the journey to Mordor.
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. Want a spot that feels like The Shire? A misty coastal cliff? An alpine lake tucked away in the mountains? I’ll help you find it.
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.
"I'm not the type to go online and post a review, but I'm going to post one for Wandering Peaks. Hannah is awesome!! She did an amazing job for my wife and I leading up to, and especially on our wedding day. Hannah is very knowledgeable about the processes, rules, permits of Olympic National Park. She knows the best spots for pictures and your ceremony. And most importantly, on the day of your wedding, Hannah is hands-on and creates a very stress-free environment. She is great at what she does and goes about it in a very calm manner. She had great suggestions and picked out perfect locations for our pictures. I would highly recommend Wandering Peaks. You will enjoy working with Hannah."
I love to photograph elopements that are outside the box. Together, we can celebrate your "I do’s" with an activity you and your partner truly enjoy.

Let's Start Planning
What a perfect experience! Hannah had all of the bases covered for contingencies. She's really familiar with the area and special locations. She gave us so many options and choices, arrived before we did (and we got up at 3am for a sunrise service), and gave us really clear guidance to position ourselves for the best pictures. Hannah encouraged us to go just a little farther up the trail(s) in order to try for even more magical pictures and a more memorable experience. She totally took our preferences and requests into account to capture the moods and themes that we described. The nobility and scale of the setting, the intimacy and emotion of our wedding, and the whimsical aspect to some of our playful moments. She delivered way more than we hoped for. She is just as genuine and easy to work with and talk to as she seems.
Absolutely! I create a personalized elopement plan for every couple I work with, so we can create a day that’s perfect for you.
I typically deliver anywhere from 50 to 75 images per hour of shooting, but it varies based on what we’re doing. Don’t worry—I’ll send you all of the best photos!
You won’t have to wait too long—you’ll receive a small collection of sneak peek images within 24 hours of your celebration. For your final images, you’ll receive a link to your private online gallery 6-8 weeks after your wedding day.
I edit my photos to enhance them, but my style remains true-to-life with colors and may only remove distractions from the background of photos. I don’t do any body modifications because I think that everyone is beautiful just the way they are!
Yes! If we’re going to be hiking, I recommend keeping it to less than 5 people so we can better follow Leave No Trace principles. For 5-15 guests, we’re limited to areas where we won’t disturb other people or nature. With 15 or more guests, it’s better to find a small wedding venue for your ceremony and we can go on an adventure before or after!
