Reviews from our washington elopement couples ❤️

"The best way I can sum up our journey with the Foxes is this: even if we hadn't gotten a single photo from our elopement day, the experience alone that Gabi and Brandon gave us would have been worth every penny. As an elopement photographer myself, the decision of who to hire for our own big day was on my mind for years. But as time passed, I realized there really was no decision to make– the Foxes were it, period. Beyond the stunning landscapes they capture so expertly, the epic moments and their beautiful colors, when it comes to the photos, their artful composition and timing is something that can't really be replicated."

"We got married at the end of June in Olympic National park with Hannah as our photographer! And we just received our photos and we couldn’t stop smiling and reliving the day. 💗 All of our photos are absolutely STUNNING! We are overjoyed with them and excited to share them with our family and friends. We are beyond thankful and grateful for Hannah for planning and photographing this special day. She capture so many beautiful moments that we will forever cherish! Many happy tears were shed when looking through our photos. 🥹 We are so thankful that we had a photographer so joyful, energetic, understanding, and helpful through the planning process and day of the wedding! She is the absolute BEST!"

"What made them stand out for us was not only her expertise and experience but also her guidance throughout the entire process. Zoe provided us with helpful recommendations on vendors, lodging, and other details from day one. She’s essentially a wedding planner in disguise! On our wedding day, even though we had just met, we felt extremely comfortable with Zoe. She guided us on how to pose, where to stand or even where to look! It didn't feel awkward at all. We felt like we were just hanging out with friends. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t cooperate with us on our big day. When the rain started halfway through the day, Zoe was able to help us pivot to a more shaded area immediately. She recommended an area that wouldn't be as muddy and slippery but was still just as beautiful as our original choice of location. She had even planned ahead and brought umbrellas for us and all of our guests, SAVING the day!"

How much does a Washington elopement photographer cost?

For a professional, experienced elopement photographer (like us!), you can expect packages to range anywhere from $6,000 to $15,000 or more.
