It doesn’t just start the morning of your wedding day! Along the way, you’ll get a bunch of helpful resources and guides from us, including a 100+ page guidebook on how to elope, a brainstorming questionnaire, and a custom-built planner with all our hand-picked recs, vendor lists, PNW travel guides, vow-writing resources, and more.

We’re here for you throughout the entire process as your personal ‘elopement consultants’, here to offer advice, answer questions, and inspire you! You can meet with us as often as you need, and if you ever just want to run something by us or get a second opinion, we’re just a message away.

We’ll share our best with you, including our secret hidden gems that stray from the beaten path. With years of scouting and research and hundreds of pages of notes, we’ve got top-notch recommendations on trails, overlooks, ceremony sites, and more in the Evergreen State. Find inspiration on our blog!

We’ve got tons of lists and we know how to look for the best spots to stay, whether you’re on a budget or want to splurge for the best.

P.S. Wait until you book with us to start booking anything else for your elopement! We really love getting to start from scratch and share our best recs, and finding spots for you that are close to our ceremony site.

We’ve got the hookups! Whether you’re on a DIY budget or want to splurge for the best, we’ve got recs for hair & makeup, flowers, private chefs, bakeries, tour guides—whoever else you need to enlist to bring your adventurous dream to reality!

Most public lands require permits to hold your elopement—but don’t worry, we’ll help you figure out exactly what you need and help you apply! If we’re your officiant, we’ll also help with the marriage licensing process, and file your paperwork for you afterward.

Need help with your budget? We’ll provide tips on budgeting and only recommend vendors & activites you can afford, and give you tips on how to save money for your adventure. If you’re more of the DIY type, we’ll have a bunch of resources to share with you for hair & makeup, florals, and more. Plus, save money (and time) by borrowing from our stash of gear, supplies, and decor! (see more below on “Outfitting”!)

We’ll talk logistics and safety, making sure we have alternate plans in case of bad weather. We’ll also help you with your gear & packing lists! We’ve got a bunch of supplies and gear you can borrow like headlamps, lanterns, and trekking poles. And of course the snacks! (see more below under “Provisions”!)

The little things! We’ll share attire recommendations, talk color palettes & moodboards, and figure out the little details that’ll make your day shine. We’ll also outfit you with decor, picnic goods, and table setting supplies—no additional fees.

On your elopement day, we fill the role of both photographer and day-of coordinator to help your day flow smoothly. If you hire the Crew, we can also help with all elements of setup, tear down, and coordinating! Our goal from day one is to take care of your adventurous elopement experience so you two can simply enjoy every moment.

“Ashton went above and beyond to help us plan the whole day when we had NO idea where to begin. For the planning aspect alone, Ashton is worth every penny. He will wildly exceed your expectations and do everything in his power to make the best day of your lives somehow even better. 5 stars is not enough, Ashton deserves all of the stars in the sky! Thank you, Ashton! We love you!!”

“Ashton & Tess were incredible throughout the planning phase. They were on top of all the nuances of an adventure elopement and kept us up-to-date, including national park rules and requirements, road and weather conditions, leave no trace principles, contingency plans, and more. As adventure elopement planners, Wilderpines is top notch and exceeded our expectations.”

“Choosing Wilderpines was hands down the best decision we made for our big day! Ashton and Tess were experts when it came down to planning our hike, location, ceremony, and all the really small details a bride and groom may forget! They made the whole process of eloping so much easier and were so great with working to accommodate both of our families in our ceremony. The photos... ABSOLUTELY BLOWN AWAY! I have no words! I was so amazed that they captured our day so beautifully and I am just so in love with all of our photos!!! I cannot recommend Wilderpines enough, 10/10!

— SAMI & JOHN

“Our dreams came true because of the effort Ashton invested in the lead-up, so all we had to do on the day of our ceremony, was enjoy the day of our ceremony. If I didn't know it were real, I would say that Ashton is too good to be true. But he is. Ashton is the BEST. 1,000,000 out of 5 stars.”

“I cannot recommend Wilderpines enough! It can be overwhelming to think about where to even begin planning an elopement, and daunting to think about then spending that much time in front of a camera. But Ashton helped to make the entire experience fun and easy and comfortable, and we could not have asked for a better guide through this whole thing.”

— KATE & RYAN

“The two biggest things we wanted to convey to anyone thinking about Wilderpines: 1. The video is 1000% worth it. 2. Having both Ashton and Tess there will be the best decision you ever make. Our photos and video are absolutely stunning and something we will love forever. The experience and environment Ashton and Tess created for us was far more meaningful and impactful than any captured moment.”
