You're in the right place if...
You say yes to any of the following questions
● You want less stress in the planning process
● Want to keep the focus on the two of you and less on the "stuff"
● You don't want to settle for anything less than an extraordinary experience!
● You want to keep things private with such a personal moment
● You're over "AI" and want to keep your photos authentically real!
Your choice to Elope means...
Giving yourselves permission to get married on YOUR terms and avoiding all the extra drama
You have chosen to be intentional with your time, money and peace.
You want to look back on your wedding day fondly as a once in a lifetime adventure, not a blur of memories.
You're driven by your desire to adventure and forgo the stress of the big wedding!
You want something personal and unique to you and your INDIVIDUAL interests.
You believe that getting married should be just for you two and be intimate-only for those closest to you and support your decision.
"Art that tells your story."
Kim’s unique eye is what first drew me in: cinematic, emotional, and absolutely stunning. After our free consultation, we knew she was the one, and we ended up booking her before our permits or accommodations! Throughout the planning process, Kim was incredibly organized and supportive, checking in thoughtfully in the days leading up to the big day.
On the day itself, she made us feel completely at ease (which I didn’t expect as I’m usually the one behind the camera). Her energy, humor, and dedication to getting the perfect shot were unmatched. She even endured multiple rocks in her sandals and accidentally swallowed a bug in the name of art – give this lady a medal!
When we got our gallery back, we were blown away. She not only gave us the dreamy, Instagram-worthy images, but also candid moments that genuinely captured us as individuals. My best friend put it best: Kim’s photos “captured your guys’ spirits.” That’s a rare gift, and it made the memories feel even more personal and special.
If you’re considering eloping and want a photographer who will make you feel at ease, who will go above and beyond (literally and figuratively), and who will leave you with art that tells your story, hire Kim. You will not regret it!
-Tommy & Sara, Eloped in 2024
Hey! We're
Kim & Jesse!
We are your adventure photo & video duo
Based in Washington (for now). Someday, Alaska
We are big believers in getting to know our couples and helping you feel comfortable not only being in front of our cameras but to have the wedding day you actually WANT to have!
We’re here to help navigate you through the chaos and what is needed to make your day happen as perfectly as we possibly can.
We are goofy, we are weird. But we also really love adventure and want to take you with us to some of our favorite places.
Everyone thinks they are awkward in front of the camera. We hear it all the time! But with my solid dad jokes, music playing to keep things casual, and my own confident awkwardness, it equals out to something beautiful.
We want to create something for you that will last and you will want to revisit for as long as possible and until you’re old and grey together.
With over 200+ elopements documented, curated, and made possible. We want to help you pave the way so you can make it easier to have the wedding day you want.
"This all sounds amazing Kim, but where do we start?!"
Don’t worry, I got your back! Below are some wonderful resources to get you started planning with intention & confidence!

Elopement Videography
"Jesse’s video work was incredible; he truly captured the essence of the day with a creative, cinematic approach that brought everything back to life."
-Bethany & Sara, 2024 Brides
We have never had anyone regret having chosen video, but many regret not having it.
A couple should have video on their elopement day because it captures the living, breathing emotion of the moment—voices trembling, laughter echoing, wind moving through hair, tears turning into smiles. Photographs freeze an instant, but video allows you to relive the vow you spoke, the way you looked at each other, the softness in your voice when you said “I do.” It preserves not just how things looked, but how they felt. Years later, you can return to that moment and feel the exact heartbeat of your day.
Additionally, video lets you share your experience with the people who weren’t physically there. Whether it’s family who supported you from afar or friends who will see your story later, video becomes the bridge that brings them into that intimate experience. It transforms private memories into a personal narrative that can be revisited and passed on—something heartfelt and cinematic that tells the story of your love in motion.

"There was no question when we were looking for photographer who we wanted capturing these moments!"

The proof is in the reviews
BEST. DECISION. EVER. Kim and Jesse are the absolute dream team. My husband initially found Kim & Jesse when he decided to propose and wanted to capture the surprise on film. After the whirlwind of a proposal and being entirely shocked that they were there to photograph us, we were instantly blown away by their talent and comforting presence.
Within 5 minutes of our engagement photos, my husband and I looked at each other and immediately asked if they would capture our wedding. We dreamed of having an intimate ceremony with our family at Mount Rainier. Kim helped me coordinate the details and found the most UNBELIVABLE hidden spots around a national park that I would have never imagined.
Kim and Jesse are the calm and creative in the midst of what can be a chaotic and nerve wracking day. We had ideas for our wedding photos and video but nothing even near to what Kim and Jesse created. They truly went above and beyond on every single aspect! Kim sending us photo teasers the morning after was the most incredible and valuable surprise to share with our family and friends so soon. We will cherish our photos and wedding video forever and hiring them was the best decision we would have made to capture our dream.
-Grace & Steven, Eloped at Mt Rainier

I’m so thankful they were there to capture every special moment. From start to finish, they made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and the results are far more than I could have ever imagined! I will forever be grateful for the beautiful pictures and video that Kim and Jesse took!
-Bella & Jared, Eloped in Alaska

We reached out to Kim on a whim when the thought of having a big wedding overwhelmed us. After our first meeting I knew we were making the right choice. A wedding that was about celebrating US. Not just a party that would go by so quickly we would hardly remember it.
The memories from our wedding are so special, so magical. And oh. my. GOD. THE PHOTOS. THE VIDEOS. They are beyond anything we ever dreamed of. Every time we share our photos people are stunned. Every time we show the videos the reaction is always “it looks like a movie!”. Kim also took our engagement photos a year prior in Arizona! Seriously, I can go on and on about these two. To sum it up, if you are even thinking about having Kim and Jesse memorialize your special day, do it. You have probably just made one of the best decisions of your life.
