hey, its me Rylee
your intimate wedding + elopement photographer | videographer
I’ve always lived my life a little on the wild side. After growing up playing around the Sierra Nevadas in Northern California, I adventured to the pnw, where I found my life’s greatest adventure: my family. Tradition didn’t quite suit us, but tacos, tequila, and 8 of our closest friends and family felt just right. The big ordeal is the life we create together, not just the day we say ‘I do’, but there is nothing more exciting than stepping into your next adventure together and I want to help you capture your whole story - start to finish.
By choosing to elope, you’re choosing so much more than just having a wedding and you deserve to have someone with the same values document your day.
A FEW FUN FACTS ABOUT ME - THE REAL ME!
Couples who choose to work with me don’t just do it because I take beautiful photos. The person who documents the day you get married should be so much more than just another vendor abd thats why I believe in connection. I actually shamelessly wrote on instagram and tbh its so true so - I say all this and put it here because that connection, is between us.
This is me. Tnapologetically, exactly who the fuck I am 🤘🏼🏔
At some point in my life, probably around 9 years ago when I had our first daughter, I learn that the most important person in my life was in fact myself - because if I wasn’t the best version of me, then how could I be for anyone else. It was then when I embraced my give no fucks, confident, authentic, never settling, serving, give everyone and everything I do my all without expectations. I am a constantly evolving woman and I just never second guess who I am becoming.
•I am a mom, wife, sister, cousin, daughter and friend.
•I am confident, extroverted and awkward, introverted all at the same time.
•I am outspoken, transparent and always serve it out real + honest.
•I am the ultimate hype woman and server at heart.
•I cuss, a lot.
•I am a mountain living, IPA drinking, spend hours in hammock chilling kind of human.
•I’ll go on the wildest adventures yet live doing the chillest most mundane of things.
•I live for moments, experiences and constant growth.
•I am not perfect - I will misspell all the words, forget things if I don’t write them down, be way to hard on myself, sometimes say the wrong things or sometimes not speak up all
At the end of the day i am so me and i fucking love it!
So when I say - if you’re looking for a photographer who’s going to have you laughing a little to hard, isnt afraid to get a little wild, takes beautiful images and makes you feel amazing the whole time, then i’m probably your kinda vibe.
this is Jess!
your coordinator + designer
Born and raised in Seattle, Washington and I swear I’m never leaving the beautiful pnw - I love nothing more than getting outdoors with my husband, Seth and our two little girls - we love going on random car ride up to the mountains and you can usually find us hiking, at a local brewery or winery in our free time while chasing our girls around with our friends and family.
As I get older I find myself more and more falling into who I am - so when building a career around the things that are most important to me, has been at the forefront of everything I do. I believe we should live our lives with who we want, how we want and we shouldn’t have to fall into anyone else’s mold of what they think something should look like.
I want to give you that experience on the day you get married. My goal is to make your visions come to life and then allow you to truly live in the moment and enjoy it all.
Just because you’re eloping or having an intimate wedding, doesn’t mean you don’t want all things pretty along with it. I specialize in creating designs that are as intentional are your day - no matter how simple or elaborate and then I’m going to show up, make your wildest dreams come true!

TOGETHER - WE ARE A FUCKING POWERHOUSE TEAM OF CREATIVES.
Videography: Telling your entire story is what we're all about and as a photographer I believe video adds a whole other dimension, depth and feel to that. Our films are not made to give you just a standard, cutout, re-play of your wedding day. These films are created to truly transport you back to this intentional day in your life & make you feel the emotions you were feeling throughout that day, in a totally different way.
I like to think of our senses - and hearing the vows you wrote for each other, seeing the movement, the real uncut moments as you commit your lives to each other helps you relive those moments another level. Our films are unique and crafted to match the vibe of your photo storybook.
Coordination + Planning: Remember when I was talking about making your experience as easy and stress free as possible? That doesn’t stop on the day of your elopement/intimate wedding, its actually is the most important - your focus should be on the two of you and having the best day ever - not worrying about decorations, setting up/taking down things, what other people should be doing, rallying up people for photos, making sure your guest aren’t relying on you while your doing whatever it is you need to do. Shes going to create space for the two you to relax and enjoy each moment throughout your day. Leave the logistical details to her and allow yourself to enjoy the magic of your day.
As your coordinator she is there to make all the confirmation calls and organize when and where other vendors (even if it’s only a few) will be on your day. She takes care of the coordination on the day of and works side by side with me creating your timeline and makes sure we follow it as loosely or strictly as we need. not only is she someone who helps crafts this beautiful event for you to enjoy, she is going to be there to encourage, uplift and support you in every way.
