The Washington coast is made for weddings that feel like a getaway. Wide beaches, sea stacks, driftwood and sunsets over the Pacific, about three hours from Seattle.
I film full wedding days in seaside towns like Seabrook, and small elopements on the wilder beaches of the Olympic coast. Ocean light, fog rolling in, your people all in one place. It all ends up in the film.
Emma and Evan married in Seabrook, surrounded by the people they love. Their film is below.
“Everyone who watches the video, whether they attended the wedding or not, says: that was the best wedding video I've ever seen.”
Seabrook has ocean bluff ceremonies, a town hall and tented spaces for bigger celebrations, with cottages for your guests. For elopements, the Olympic coast beaches are wild and quiet. Small beach ceremonies are often allowed, but rules differ by park, so check before you plan.
July to September is usually the driest. Foggy mornings look moody and beautiful on film, and the coast can be windy any time of year, so plan your hair, veil and layers with that in mind.
Evenings are magic here. The sun sets over the water and the light stays soft for a long time, perfect for a golden hour walk on the beach.
The coast is about three hours from Seattle, so most couples make a weekend of it. I can film the welcome dinner, the wedding day and a beach session the morning after.
Tell me about your plans. I'll reply within a day with my availability. Wedding films start at $2,000.
