Welcome, adventurous people! I am Stacy, the photographer and planner behind Outshined Photography based in the Pacific Northwest.
Have you been dreaming about eloping in the rugged mountains or on the unique beaches of the Pacific Northwest? Then I am the photographer for you!
I am driven to give you an amazing experience because of my desire to help couples have the wedding day that they truly want and will treasure forever. In addition to taking both candid and posed photos, I love sharing information about the area we are exploring. One of my goals is to make sure you have a nature therapy experience. I also want my couples to be able to connect with the environment while connecting with each other.
My husband and I had a small wedding in the mountains of Colorado. We always reflect fondly on the way we celebrated. We love looking at our photos and they give us happy memories. I want that for all the couples that I get to work with.
My ideal couples are people who are non-traditional and want to have an experience that is fun and stress-free and focused solely on them. I also enjoy working with couples who love nature and appreciate the landscape around them. I want to be able to take couples on a new adventure on their wedding day. That adventure doesn’t need to be a long, crazy hike. It can be something as relaxing as a nature hike through the forest or sitting on the top of a mountain and taking in all the views around them. I strive for couples to be able to use all their senses on their elopement day to truly immerse themselves in the experience.
Why I am different from other elopement photographers?
I had a full 20-year career as an aerospace engineer, and I’ve chosen this career because of my passion for photographing couples in nature. I feel so passionately about supporting couples who choose to elope or have a non-traditional wedding that I do not photograph traditional weddings. Alongside elopement photography, I am also a professional landscape photographer and very experienced with astrophotography. I love talking with my couples about the landscape, and night sky. It’s a way to connect my experiences working in a field that supports the exploration of space.
I believe in making couples feel confident that their wedding day is going to be everything they dream of. They should leave their elopement feeling happy, relaxed and glad that they chose to elope the way they did.
I am a Leave No Trace practitioner and all people are welcome! At Outshined Photography I support every kind of love story and want everyone who works with me to feel comfortable and that they can be themselves.
