Leavenworth Campground Elopement Photography

Drag me!

Every wedding is special and unique, and Nadine & Darika’s intimate campground elopement in Leavenworth was no exception.  While it was a huge privilege to witness two gorgeous women commit themselves to one another it was also powerful to see this family blend together and become one.  Nadine’s son was overcome with emotion during the ceremony as he and his sister walked their mom to the arbor.  It was an intensely candid and beautiful moment. 

Nadine & Darika’s priority was to bring their friends and close family together where they could spend a couple of days with each other celebrating the wedding and simultaneously enjoying a few warm summer days in Leavenworth.  They rented out a large campground site at the Tierra Learning Center just outside of Leavenworth, decorated the long-standing teepee, and set up a custom arbor to transform this campground into an intimate space for a wedding.  Nadine & Darika found their wedding wear on Etsy and their guest book was filled with polaroids of each guest that enjoyed the weekend with them. 

Thank you, Nadine & Darika, for bringing me into your lives to celebrate your beautiful marriage with me.  Your wedding was perfect and I feel so lucky that I was with you for such a special day.

Planning your own intimate elopement and still looking for your photographer?

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.
