EMILY + ANDREW ELOPEMENT SESSION | GIG HARBOR, WA

Emily and Andrew first reached out to me in January after seeing a Valentine’s Day photography promo I was running. The sweetest part? They each messaged me—separately—on the same day. If that’s not fate, I don’t know what is.

When I connected with Emily, I quickly discovered this wasn’t going to be just a couple’s session. She shared that her and Andrew were planning on eloping that day and wanted to celebrate their post-elopement glow with some photos. I was already thrilled—but then they did something even more special: they decided to move their private ceremony to Gig Harbor so I could be there to capture it.

They ended up being my very first photography inquiry of 2025, and honestly, I couldn’t have imagined a more beautiful way to start the year. Photographing their intimate elopement reminded me why I love what I do—documenting real, honest moments filled with warmth, joy, and connection.

Even their sweet little Frenchies were included in this special moment. Which being a cat mom, I 100% understand.
