Pacific Northwest Wedding & Elopement Photographer

Based in Vancouver, Washington, serving Oregon, Washington, Portland, the Oregon Coast, and the Columbia River Gorge

A wedding day that

feels like you

I photograph intimate weddings, elopements, courthouse ceremonies, and micro weddings throughout Oregon, Washington, and the Pacific Northwest for couples who care more about how their day feels than how it looks on paper. Whether you’re planning a Vancouver WA wedding, an Oregon Coast celebration, a Portland courthouse ceremony, or a Columbia River Gorge elopement, your experience comes first.

Planning a Wedding or Elopement in the Pacific Northwest?

If you’re in the early stages of planning, I’ve created resources to help you compare locations, timelines, coverage options, and what it can look like to design a wedding day that feels intentional instead of rushed.

Hi, I’m Kassi.

If you’re planning an intimate wedding or elopement in the Pacific Northwest, you’re in the right place. I’m based in Vancouver, Washington, and I document small, intentional wedding days throughout Oregon and Washington with a focus on what actually matters: your connection, your people, and your experience.

Whether you're getting married at a courthouse, hosting a small gathering, or planning something simple outdoors, your day deserves to feel relaxed and true to you, not rushed or overproduced.

My approach is calm and candid. I’ll guide you when needed, but I also give you space to be fully present, so nothing feels forced, and everything feels real.

The Experience, In Their Words

Carnation Farms Rustic Romance

“We wanted something small, intimate, and just really meaningful, and she made the whole day feel so easy. Our wedding at Carnation Farms was simple and beautiful, and the photos feel so natural and true to how it actually felt.”

Stonehenge Elopement

“We wanted our elopement to feel like we were somewhere in Scotland, and she absolutely nailed it. The location, the mood, everything came together in a way that felt so real and intentional. The photos are honestly everything we hoped for.”

Bonnie + Gideon Courthouse Micro Wedding

“Truly outstanding job capturing the feel and memories of the day!”

Gothic October Wedding

“We knew we didn’t want a traditional wedding, and she completely got that. Our October day had this darker, moodier vibe and she captured it exactly how we imagined. Nothing felt forced and it actually felt like us.”

Your story deserves to feel just as real.

Start Planning Your Wedding Photography Experience

Whether you are comparing coverage options, looking through recent galleries, or narrowing down the right location for your wedding day, these pages are a helpful place to start.

Real moments, not staged ones.

From the beginning, my goal is to keep this simple, relaxed, and actually enjoyable.

If you’re planning an intimate wedding or elopement, you’re probably not looking for something overly structured or stressful, you want a day that feels like you.

That’s how I approach it too.

I’ll guide you when it matters, helping you feel comfortable, giving direction when needed, but I also know when to step back so you can be fully present. Nothing forced, nothing overly posed.

The result is a set of images that feel honest and real, so when you look back, you’re not just seeing how it looked… you’re remembering exactly how it felt.

You don’t need to have everything figured out.

Whether you’re just starting to plan or already have pieces in place, I’m here to help guide you through it in a way that feels clear and low-stress.

From your first message to your final gallery, everything is designed to be simple, supportive, and aligned with the kind of wedding experience you actually want.
