Secluded Waterside Elopement at Deception Pass

Drag me!

When I first got in touch with Leah & Ysaac they told me about their sweet plans to elope somewhere in nature with just a handful of friends that would fly in to enjoy an intimate celebration with them. One of my favorite things about elopements is the very intentional intimacy. This couple focused on the most important people in their lives as well as what they truly wanted in a wedding – not what tradition or family pressure may or may not dictate. We were so happy when they contacted our team at the Seattle Elopement Package since we got to help coordinate their vendor team as well as provide recommendations on locations based on our prior experience, assist with those logistics, and help bring such a special day to life.

Leah & Ysaac chose to elope at Washington’s Deception Pass State Park, my absolute favorite location I’ve ever shot at. It’s a journey to get there but worth every moment. We selected a secluded spot along the water in the park, waited until the perfect late afternoon light and enjoyed toasts and dinner with friends after the ceremony by Rev. Ray Van Winkle was concluded. This elopement featured hair and makeup by the fabulous Michelle Wight, florals by ever-amazing Anthera Floral and a custom cake with gorgeous hand-sculpted sugar flower from Honey Crumb Cake Studio.

The Seattle Elopement Package brings together all-star Seattle-based vendors to create a stress-free experience that allows couples to focus on other things than booking a long list of vendors one at a time. We were thrilled to get to work with Leah & Ysaac for both planning and celebrating such a special day in their lives and wish them a lifetime of happiness together – along with their sweet rescue pup.

Please enjoy this collection of our favorite photos from Leah & Ysaac’s Deception Pass State Park elopement and find links to our entire vendor team as well as additional elopement galleries at the bottom of this post. If you’re thinking of eloping or already planning our team would love to work with you and your partner on bringing your perfect wedding day to life!

Thank you so much to our incredible vendor team that helps bring the Seattle Elopement Package to life!

ready to tell your story?

Hi, I’m alex! A seattle wedding photographer who’s been documenting your stories since 2009.

I fell in love with photography almost 20 years ago in a darkroom class, and that love has never faded. What started as a darkroom class in college turned into photographing my first wedding solo in 2010,and I was hooked. The joy. The emotion. The vows. The details. The people.

I realized quickly that my fulfillment came from helping people see themselves in a beautiful, honest way. I move calmly. I guide confidently. I know how to capture all the angles and candid moments without you even noticing. My couples often say I have “photo superpowers” because of how much I capture while still keeping everything feeling easy and low-pressure.


Some photographers find wedding days chaotic.

I find them electric.
