K. & V. | Romantic Adventure Photo Session in North Bend, Washington

K & V, married for nearly 20 years and parents to three children, make it a point to celebrate their anniversary each year with beautiful photos.

This year, I had the pleasure of helping them with a photo shoot inspired by their love of traveling the country in a camper.

During the shoot, they strummed the guitar, playfully chose their next travel destination with eyes closed on a globe, enjoyed tea, and spent time with their dog.

The day was quite windy, which gave the photos unique charm. However, the wind made it unsafe to light a fire. Therefore, we just used firewood to represent the idea safely.

Thank you, K & V, for allowing me to capture these special moments. Your trust in choosing me as your photographer is greatly appreciated.

HERE IS EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ELOPEMENTS

I’M VALERIE, YOUR ADVENTURE ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER

My style is called “candid photography.” The idea is to preserve moments as they were, not as we wish they looked.

Before we speak, I ask you to fill out the contact form. It helps me better understand what you want to get from your elopement. Knowing precisely what you want, I can offer you the best locations, activities, and vendors. Don’t worry if you don’t have a concept for your event. Together we’ll find the best solution. What I really won’t do is force you to accept something that I suggested. This is your day, and I just help you to turn your thoughts, ideas, and dreams into reality.

Friendship is not something you can buy, but here you will get a real friend. Yes, I’ll be pretty much invisible during the elopement, but as with any intimate event, the elopement goes better when you are surrounded by people you trust. I’ll try to become that kind of person for your couple. I’ll help you to spend this day in a relaxed atmosphere. One of the most popular reasons why people choose to elope is the desire to spend the wedding day without haste and fuss. Your elopement will be adventurous but stress-free!  I'll be your rock, your shoulder to lean on.

Finally, when we discuss all the details, and you choose everything from location and date to clothes and champagne, I’ll get my camera. At that moment, my purpose will be to capture your real feelings and emotions. I’m not going to tell you what to do and how to pose. Our common goal is to save these brilliant moments of your love story, not to do posed photography.
