WEST COAST ELOPEMENT & MICRO-WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER & VIDEOGRAPHER — OREGON, WASHINGTON & CALIFORNIA

Fewer Guests. Every Bit of the Story.

What if small was the plan all along?

Maybe it's the two of you on a cliff above the Pacific. Maybe it's twelve people and a courthouse, then a long dinner. Either way, you didn't shrink your wedding. You distilled it.

So your coverage shouldn't shrink either. The vows still matter. The light still matters. So do the few people you chose.

We're one Portland-based team for photography and film. We cover elopements and micro-weddings across Oregon, Washington, and California — with the same care we bring to two hundred guests. You get a day that feels entirely yours, and proof that it was.

How We Cover a Small Wedding

Tiny weddings run on logistics, not luck. Here's what we handle so you don't have to:

  • Timing. We plan around tide charts, sunset, and alpine light. Your vows land in the best ten minutes of the day.
  • Permits. Beaches, parks, and peaks often need them. We help you sort it early, so nothing surprises you later.
  • Weather. Coast wind, gorge gusts, mountain fog. We build a real Plan B, so a forecast never flattens your day.
  • Sound. Wind eats vows. We mic you properly, so the words you wrote actually survive on film.
  • One team. Photo and film from one coordinated crew. Fewer people around you, more room to breathe.
  • Camera-shy? We guide you gently. You spend the day with each other, not performing for a lens.
  • From the air. Drone coverage shows the cliff, the cove, the scale — the reason you picked this place.

Jessie & Kole at the Oregon Coast

Jessie & Kole - Wedding Highlight Film - Oregon Coast - 05.14.22YouTube

They married by the sea with a handful of loved ones as witnesses. Only the waves for music. In their vows, Jessie called Kole the calm water that soothes her crashing waves. Kole said Jessie is the exciting surge that brings joy to his life. They pledged to be each other's best friend and partner in every adventure.

Their first kiss met golden light and a soft ocean breeze. Then they walked the shoreline hand in hand — her lace gown in the salty breeze, the sky turning pink and gold. Cliffs and dunes all around. For an afternoon, it felt like they were the only two people in the world. That's what a small wedding can do. Venue: Oregon Coast, Oregon.
