I’m known for capturing those didn’t-know-you-were-there shots and busting a move on the dance floor just to get those perfect candids. I also work with you to ensure we incorporate your style and story into your engagement and wedding photos!
Valerie and Andrew’s Agate Beach Lodge Elopement was nothing short of breathtaking. Coming all the way from New York, these two decided to leave behind the traditional wedding route and instead create a celebration that was simple, intimate, and completely their own. With only their immediate family by their side, they gathered at Agate Beach Lodge in Port Angeles, Washington—a private slice of the Pacific Northwest shoreline that offered the perfect mix of rugged beauty and peaceful seclusion.
Their ceremony took place near the beach, with the sound of waves rolling in as they exchanged vows. It was the kind of moment that felt timeless—no frills, no distractions, just two people in love promising forever. When the wind picked up along the shoreline, everyone moved inside the cozy lodge for a small reception, filled with laughter, warmth, and heartfelt toasts.
Afterward, we headed back down to the water just as the clouds rolled in, giving us that moody Pacific Northwest vibe we all love. Valerie absolutely rocked her dress—flipping it on the rocks as waves crashed dramatically behind them. The photos we captured in those moments were pure magic: raw, adventurous, and perfectly reflective of who they are together!
What made this day so beautiful was its simplicity. Valerie and Andrew’s Agate Beach Lodge Elopement wasn’t about a long guest list, elaborate décor, or a packed timeline. It was about slowing down, being present with their closest people, and creating a day that felt true to them. Watching them laugh, dance with the waves, and embrace the natural beauty around them was such a reminder that weddings don’t have to be complicated to be extraordinary.
For anyone dreaming of an intimate, coastal celebration, Agate Beach Lodge is the perfect place to say “I do!” Thank you both for such a beautiful, dreamy day!! Congrats!
