Epic photography that makes you feel.
Because a Big Wedding isn’t for you.
Something about the traditions of wedding days just isn’t sitting right with you…
So, let’s get untraditional.
So you decided to elope
A cookie cutter stress mess full of concerns and worries over the input and perceptions of others. A little voice in your head keeps asking, “Is this really what I’m signing up for?”….and that voice is getting louder.
After months of painstaking planning, wedding days frequently go by in a blurry whirlwind. Couples often spend only a few moments together during the proceedings. That’s not right.
Your wedding day is about YOU. And you are not traditional. You like to experience new things. Sometimes randomly, sometimes intentionally. But always with eyes and senses wide open.
You deserve a day filled with experiences of substance. Full of connection to nature and connection to each other. You deserve genuine moments captured honestly and professionally. Photographs that beautifully document the story of your day.
Your life together is an adventure. Your wedding should be too. And the real story deserves to be told.
. . . Now what?
You made the big decision that eloping is the right move. Congratulations. That takes a lot of courage, because you KNOW some people are going to be disappointed.
But that’s not your problem. Repeat after me! “Our wedding day is about US!”
And now, a few internet searches and Pinterest Boards later, you’re feeling slightly overwhelmed.
Ok, very overwhelmed. But, like… in a good way…
It’s true, there are A LOT of decisions to make. Maybe less than a Big Wedding. But still a lot.
And you’re not really sure how to start… and you’re not really sure where to go… and you’re not really sure what you need… and you’re just not really sure… about… like… any of it, really.
And so you might need a little bit of help.
Well, my friend, it’s good you’re here. Because I would love nothing more than to help you plan the adventure that starts your new life together.

Ginger drove us to a gorgeous beach we'd never visited and encouraged us be our true selves throughout the whole photoshoot. We had a BLAST, and the photos capture the magic perfectly. An adventure with Tulewalks might be our new anniversary tradition..... :)

Hey. I’m Ginger.
You’re in the right place.
Your Nature-Nerd Adventure-Guide with an obsession for capturing authentic, beautiful moments in crazy beautiful places.
I believe that all connections deepen in nature, and it is the perfect place to celebrate your love and commitment.
What kind of Adventure do you want?
This is about creating an awesome experience that perfectly reflects and captures your unique love story.
Custom Location recommendations and intensive location scouting.
Whether you’re sure about your vision, or are open to suggestions, I’ve got you covered. Ceremony locations? A place for an intimate reception? Sunset portrait site? I’ll find perfect spots for you with ideal scenery. Plus some new spots with more privacy for intimate moments away from the crowds.
All Packages include a whole lot more than photography:
Timeline Assistance so things run smoothly
Less stress is the name of the game. I’ll help you build a timeline for the day that creates enough space for everything, so you can focus on the fun and fulfillment.
Your very own Elopement Handbook
I’ve created a 65 page booklet that will provide you with everything you need to start planning your perfect day. Within the pages, you’ll find: tips & inspiration for making the day represent YOU, what to wear, gear lists, and how to include friends & family in your elopement.
Assistance with the legal stuff- Permits and marriage licenses
Permitting for different land management bureaus can be a very convoluted game. National Parks differ from National Forests, and State Parks have more regulations than County Parks, and yada yada yada. I will help you wrangle the Permit Monster if needed… I have tamed the beast before. On top of that, marriage requirements can vary wildly from state to state. If needed, I’ll help you navigate this as well, so that you exit your elopement legally hitched.
Gear Lists and Recommendations
When, where, and how you’re eloping will require different gear and clothing depending on: time of year, altitude, time of day, climate, etc. I’ve got the expertise to guide you through the isles of REI.
Sneaky Peekies
Within 48 hours you’ll receive 20-ish photos to share with the world (if you so desire). No need to whip out the iPhone during your elopement. I’ve got you covered so you can stay fully present and unplugged.
A New Hiking Buddy
ME! I’d love to reconnect with you for a wander through the woods and memory lane :)
Full Digital Gallery with High Res Downloads and Sharing Rights
Download all your photos and share them! The world awaits your amazing elopement story.. In the words of Ron Swanson, “Any damned thing else you might need.”
Package Offerings
This package is for couples who know they want something epic, but may want to keep hiking to a minimum. We’ll visit a gorgeous ceremony site, and possibly a second location, depending on the adventure.
Coverage: Up to 4 hours
(ta - muhl - pai - us) A small but prominent peak in Northern California, found to be culturally significant to the Coast Miwok people. It is also referenced in a wide range of popular American culture from Percy Jackson and the Olympians (for you YA Fantasy buffs) to Jack Kerouac’s Dharma Bums (for you ‘Classic’ Literature enthusiasts).

This package is very versatile and can be arranged to fit most couples’ needs. It’s great if you want some “getting ready” photos, a good hike (or paddle, off-road excursion or whatever) and multiple locations. It can also be split into chunks, if you’re hoping to catch sunrise, sunset and a siesta. (I truly believe that napping outdoors is one of life’s most underrated pleasures).
Coverage: Up to 8 hours.
(why - east) The tallest peak in Oregon, known more commonly as Mt. Hood. Wy’East is the name for the mountain given by the Multnomah people who first inhabited the region. Wy’East was the son of the Great Spirit Sahale, and the large volcano was erected in his honor after a great battle with his brother, Klickitat.

Tahoma Package
This package is great for couples who want an overnight involved in their celebration. For backpacking, backcountry badasses or campfire cooking masters. It is also great for couples who want a day for “Just the Two of Us,” and another to incorporate a celebration with their important people.
Coverage: Up to 12 hours of coverage - 8 hours on the day of your marriage, 4 hours the following day
(tah - ho - mah) The tallest peak in the Pacific Northwest, and the second tallest in the lower 48. This name, given by the Puyallup people, can be translated to mean “mother of waters.” This is fitting since the mountain is home to 25 glaciers, and the headwaters of many rivers. When the colonial naming traditions got a hold of this mountain, Tahoma was changed to Mt. Rainier, after a man who never even traveled to the region. Tahoma was and is an important symbol for people throughout the region.

Follow the link below to navigate to the contact form and I’ll get notified that you’re ready to plan a personalized experience of love and adventure.
STEP #1 - GET IN TOUCH
We make a phone or zoom call date to chat everything elopements. Do you know exactly what you want? Or do you have a notebook full of scribbles and a million different ideas? Either way, I’ll come prepared with ideas and advice.

Step #3 - Make it Official
The planning starts here! Diving headfirst into your dreams, desires, hopes, wants, needs, etc. so we can build your perfect day. All the location research, permit-acquiring, Google Earth-ing and timeline assembling happens here. Plus I will be available for you if you have any questions at all. I’ll send along a private Calendly link for you to book a call with me at any time during this process.
Step #4 - The Fun Begins
You elope! The best day ever. Full of adventure, laughter, connection, awesome nature, amazing views, and all the things you would never get if you chose the community center downtown… (no hate, but that’s just not you).
Step #5 - Best. Day. Ever.
