Mt Hood Elopement Photographers
Your PNW-Born Wedding, Elopement & Engagement Photography Team
hi! We're
Hi! I’m Lindsey.
In July of 2020, I walked away from my corporate graphic design job after realizing that working from a tiny studio apartment during a global pandemic had… shifted some perspectives. A lot. I craved creativity, connection, and work that actually felt meaningful.
Then in May of 2021, my best friend got married—and discovered the morning of her wedding that her photographer was going to be hours late (!!!!!!). That moment sealed it. I knew couples deserved someone reliable, invested, and wildly excited to show up for them.
Three years—and many weddings, engagements, elopements, champagne and happy tears—later, here we are.
I don’t think everyone gets to say they’ve found their calling, but that’s exactly what this feels like: traveling the Pacific Northwest, documenting once-in-a-lifetime days, and treating every story as the gift it is.

We’re Lindsey and Hunter—the husband-and-wife photography duo behind the cameras, the built-in hype team on your wedding day, and the people who will absolutely tear up during your vows.
We photograph weddings, elopements, and engagements throughout Washington, Oregon, and Northern California, capturing the wildly beautiful, quietly intimate, and joyfully chaotic moments that make your story yours.
Meet Lindsey — Lead Photographer & Matcha Latte Enthusiast
lets go on an adventure
And this is Hunter.
By weekday, he’s a mechanical and electrical engineer. By weekend, he’s a wedding photographer with an eye for light, landscapes, and the quiet moments you didn’t even realize were happening.
He loves old cars and can usually be spotted driving his beloved 1987 Volvo 240—or tinkering with his Nissan 240z, which currently lives somewhere between “project car” and “sunny-day garage ornament.”
He’s also a dad of two, calm under pressure, and the guy who somehow manages to carry three camera bodies, snacks, and emergency wedding-day supplies without breaking a sweat.

Why We Photograph Weddings
At the core of what we do is something pretty simple:
Your wedding day matters. A lot.
It deserves to be photographed honestly, thoughtfully, and in a way that actually feels like you—not stiff, not awkward, and not overly staged.
We show up calm, wildly prepared, and fully invested in your experience—not just the photos. We’ll pin boutonnières, fix flyaway hairs, hype you up when the nerves kick in, help your day run smoothly, and quietly capture the little in-between moments you didn’t even realize were happening.
You bring the love story. We’ll bring the cameras… and a whole lot of heart. 🤍

We actually worked for the same company for years—just in different departments.
Hunter was completely oblivious to my workplace crush, so after two solid years of mental should-we-shouldn’t-we gymnastics, I finally convinced him at a holiday party that we should be dating.
One first date later… the rest is history.
We haven’t spent much time apart since—aside from Hunter’s ten-day backpacking trip through Switzerland and one very hectic COVID exposure scare while I was pregnant with our first child.

Two Creatives, One Very Full Camera Bag
We’ve both always been creative people.
I got my degree in graphic design and got a big girl job after graduating, but hated the soulless side of corporate marketing. Hunter spent years photographing gorgeous panoramas and wildlife on backpacking trips across the Pacific Northwest.
Between the two of us, we owned a small fleet of cameras and lenses—but didn’t yet have the chance to use them the way we wanted to.
Then 2020 happened.
Like the rest of the world, we suddenly had time on our hands. We began photographing families and maternity sessions while following strict COVID protocols, along with engagement and elopement couples—often from very far away with zoom lenses.
From Covid Basement Elopement to Full-Time Dream Job
In September of 2020, with courthouses closed and the West Coast on fire, we canceled our big 100 guest wedding and instead planned our own basement elopement.
By the summer of 2021, we weren’t just photographing weddings and elopements—we were also planning one ourselves. Several times. Because, well… COVID policies.
Before becoming parents of two tiny humans, our free time was spent camping, exploring forest roads, and chasing weekend adventures across the PNW.
These days? We still love the outdoors—just with more snacks, nap schedules, a three year old who wants to take over the world and a ridiculous emotional attachment to blue cartoon dogs.
Two awkward in-love idiots that learned how to take beautiful real photos of real beautiful people
Here is our secret: we actually had no idea how to pose in front of a camera when we went on our engagement photoshoot. We've never been models, and it's only years of doing this that have taught us how to get comfortable and be ourselves that sets up apart. The thing is, we love the laughter. We love the giggles, and we love the inside jokes.
The awesome thing about having Hunter & I both with you on this journey is that we are there to guide you where you need guiding— even if it feels stupid, and silly, and makes you laugh. We promise, the photos will stun you, and you'll cherish them forever. Scouts honor.
