PNW Elopement Photographer
You don’t need to drive 4 hours to have a terrific elopement! As your PNW elopement photographer, we’ll help you scout locations near and far. Michaela and Tane held their intimate elopement ceremony on a rooftop in Seattle. Their wedding looked majestic. They decorated the ceremony space with a triangle alter complete with flowers. They rented elegant wooden chairs for a rustic but upscale vibe. Sound Originals was honored to be their Seattle elopement photographer. We captured all the special memories, including decor, details, and the couple’s first look at nearby Discovery Park.

Washington Elopement Packages
Sound Originals offers extensive elopement packages including photography and videography coverage. Every elopement photographer will offer different Washington elopement packages. Some photographers include unlimited hours and travel anywhere in the state. Others offer package options with a variety of choices for a number of hours, number of photographers, and travel time. It’s important to carefully research your options for elopement packages in Washington.
Hourly Coverage
Every elopement is unique. You’ll need to figure out how many hours of coverage you’ll need from your elopement photographer. Some photographers include unlimited hours in their elopement packages. Others offer a variety of options with set coverage times. That’s the most common package and pricing choice from Seattle elopement photographers. Your photographer earns a living by devoting time to clients. As a result, you can expect the Washington elopement packages to specify a certain number of hours. This will usually include travel time. For example, even a one-hour wedding on Mount Rainier will take a full day of the photographer’s time.
Photography Prints & Downloads
These days, most elopement packages in Washington include digital images with full print rights. That means you can download your images and print them at any store or shop you like. Your photographer may offer to sell print products through their own shop. (Sound Originals offers digital images with full print rights as well as a great online shop with tons of options.) Couples and their families love ordering prints and other tangible products. Some common products include canvasses, metal prints, wall art, albums, 4×6 or 5×7 prints, ornaments, and more. It’s truly special to have hard copies of your elopement photographs to enjoy around your home!
Travel Distance & Lodging
Some Seattle elopement photographers live the van life. That means they might bundle free travel and lodging with all of their Washington state elopement packages. Most elopement photographers have a home base. They’ll leave and return from their home. You’ll likely need to pay travel expenses if your wedding or elopement takes place beyond a certain distance. For example, Sound Originals is based in Seattle, Washington. Our elopement photographers travel up to 50 miles at no charge. Beyond that, our elopement and wedding packages include a small travel charge to compensate for mileage, driving time, tolls, ferries, and other expenses. Some pricing packages might include free travel, so be sure to ask! If your intimate wedding or elopement is taking place in the evening, your photographer might ask for a night or two of hotel lodging. All this information should be readily available in your photographer’s elopement package and pricing guide.
Seattle Elopement Videographer
Allie and JD invited Sound Originals to be their wedding and elopement photographer and videographer. We crafted a gorgeous highlight video for their big day at Salish Lodge and Spa in Snoqualmie, Washington. Salish Lodge weddings are both grand and intimate, cozy and comfortable. We love the views of Snoqualmie Falls from the bridal suites! After eloping, Allie and JD took a short hike through the rainforest.
