I'm also a trail runner, mountain lover, and dog wrangler. You'll find me seeking tall peaks, old growth forests, rocky coastlines, and everybody-knows-your-name wine bars. Born and raised in the PNW, I love showing off what makes this place so special.
All bodies, abilities, cultural backgrounds, and types of love are safe here.
Based in THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST, I'll meet you here or anywhere on the west coast.
I'm JAIME
YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER
EXPERIENCE + PRICES
I'm your trail guide, art director, spreadsheet architect and favorite third wheel. Together we'll prioritize experience and connection over perfection.
My work leans soft and cinematic, with film-like color and plenty of grainy black and white. I’ll set you small against big places, like a coastal cliff or a mossy forest, then come in close for the laughs, the wind in your veil, and the hand on your cheek. You’ll look like you’re in the middle of something real, not holding a pose.
Folks who join me for elopements in Washington and beyond will get custom location recommendations and guidance on permits, local vendors, weather, etc. I've got you.

EXPERIENCE
THE
LET'S WORK TOGETHER
OLYMPIC NATIONAL PARK
A FEW OF MY FAVORITES.
WHERE TO GET MARRIED IN WASHINGTON
LET'S MEET THERE
Alpine ridges near Port Angeles, moss-heavy rainforest near Forks, and sea stacks on the coast. The park is massive, so unless we have a full day, we'll pick a side. See this real elopement in Olympic National Park's mountains and forests.
the north cascades
Jagged peaks, fire lookouts, and turquoise lakes. Most high trails hold snow until mid-summer, so this is a July-to-early-fall plan. See this adventurous hiking elopement to a fire lookout in the North Cascades.
THE SAN JUAN ISLANDS
Wildflower meadows in summer, and a mountain big enough to be in every frame. Paradise and Sunrise are the classics. They get busy on summer weekends, so we'll plan around the crowds.
MOUNT RAINIER
Ferry rides, madrona trees, and harbor sunsets. A good fit for a small wedding with a long dinner after. See a garden-inspired wedding at Roche Harbor Resort.
I'll say it with my whole chest - Seattle is one of the most romantic cities in the country. It's no wonder we have Sleepless in Seattle, and love-fraught Grey's Anatomy based here. The ferries, the smell of the sea, the quaint coffee shops and dark cocktail bars all lend themselves to falling deeply in love. Follow along on a Pike Place elopement or hop on a ferry for this engagement session.
SEATTLE
Vineyards, a 50-mile glacier-fed lake, and usually drier weather than the west side. Easy to pair with a winery venue. This Siren Song winery wedding felt like we were in a tasteful Italian Villa rather than a mere couple hours from Seattle.
LAKE CHELAN + EASTERN WASHINGTON
This absolutely stunning wedding used Roche Harbor Resort's network of gardens as a colorful, luxurious backdrop.
JOYFUL GARDEN WEDDING ON SAN JUAN ISLAND
An adventurous elopement day that starts with a cozy hammock moment by the lake, and ends with an epic fire lookout hike to exchange vows at sunset.
NORTH CASCADES SUNSET ELOPEMENT
These two mountain-lovers exchanged vows exactly as the sun came over the horizon. We explored mountains, forests and waterfalls on this gorgeous summer day.
SUNRISE OLYMPIC NATIONAL PARK ELOPEMENT
This Anker wedding in Kingston, Washington took place in a garden four decades in the making.
