  • Sydney was our photographer for our engagement and wedding photos.
    They were amazing! Sydney is highly talented. She is reliable and very organized.
    Weddings can be stressful because there is a strict timeline. Sydney was great on staying on the timeline and being organized _she got to my venue early and
    were able to have a shot list in place and locations of where she wanted to take pictures.
    I am a laid back person and I let Sydney decide the shot list. I did not have a wedding party either. She did great and my pictures turned out amazing.
    For the engagement photos we did a hike and took pictures by Mt. Rainer. I am an avid hiker like Sydney. My husband is too. It was great to spend time with nature and take pictures outside.
    I highly recommend her for any of your photos.
    She is fun, and great to be around. You will not be disappointed.

  • “Where do I begin….
    Sydney is just incredible. She captured my husband’s and my vow renewal up at Hurricane ridge and Crescent Lake. Every time | look at the photos I get emotional because of the way she captured us. She was incredibly easy to work with.
    She also took all of the guess work out of posing.
    She is also extremely creative. We were up on the side of a mountain at around midnight so she capture the Milky Way photos and us.
    Also, as a fellow wedding vendor I had the pleasure of working along side of her for another vow renewal and I am just blown away by her creativity.
    She’s funny and professional, and has a way of putting you at ease. My husband is also asking to only take photos with her because she made it that comfortable for him, and he typically hates photos
    So 10/10 highly recommend

What Makes My Approach Different

Most photographers only document the elopement.
I document the experience.

That means:
• your road tripping
• hiking together
• the weather (rain or shine)
• your vows
• the quiet morning (drinking that coffee or breakfast together)
• the celebrations
• the way you look at each other when no one else is watching
• the whole “just us” feeling
And for couples who are more Type-A, more Type-B, or a mix of both…I handle planning support so you can go with the flow without winging the logistics.

  • “We didn’t want our wedding day to feel rushed or staged, and Sydney got that right away. She helped us plan a day that felt like a real adventure, not a photo shoot.
    From helping us pick locations to building a timeline that actually made sense, she took so much stress off our shoulders. On the day of, everything felt calm and easy. She gave just enough guidance so we never felt awkward or posed.
    When we got our photos back, it honestly felt like reliving the day all over again. The photos look like us — natural, emotional, and real. We’re so grateful we had Sydney there to capture it all.”.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Have a question about Sydney Alexandra Photography? Find answers to commonly asked questions below.

Yes, most public lands require permits for elopements and weddings, especially in national parks and popular outdoor areas. The good news is you don’t need to figure this out on your own. I help guide you through permits, rules, and location requirements as part of the planning process, so everything is done the right way.

Absolutely. Many couples reach out without a location picked, and that’s totally okay. I help you narrow down locations based on your vision, season, guest count, hiking comfort level, and overall vibe. Whether you’re dreaming of the Washington mountains, the PNW coast, the Utah desert, or somewhere international, we’ll find a place that fits you.

That depends on how you want your day to feel.
• 4 hours works well for local elopements with one location.
• 8 hours (full day) is perfect if you want multiple locations, a relaxed timeline, or both adventure and family time.
• 8 hours + a 4 ish hour half day is great for couples who want even more flexibility or a separate adventure session.

If you’re unsure, I’ll help you choose the right amount of coverage based on your plans.

Yes. Elopements don’t have to mean “just the two of you.” Many couples include a small group of family or friends for part of the day, then head off for a more private adventure together. We’ll plan the timeline so it flows naturally and still feels intentional.

Weather is part of the adventure, especially in Washington and other outdoor locations. I help plan backup options, flexible timelines, and alternate locations when needed. Some of the most emotional and beautiful photos happen in mist, clouds, or light rain, but don’t worry we’ll always keep safety and comfort in mind.

I help with much more than just photos. All of my elopement and wedding packages include planning support, timeline creation, and location guidance. I’m here to help you think through logistics, travel, timing, and flow so your day feels calm and intentional instead of stressful.questions (FAQs).

Yes. I’m based in Washington but photograph elopements and weddings across the U.S. and worldwide, including Utah, Arizona, Iceland, Mexico, and beyond. I offer destination and multi-day adventure packages where travel is already included, making planning simple and straightforward.

My packages are built around more than just photos. Every elopement or wedding includes planning support, timeline help, location guidance, and a relaxed, experience-first approach. Washington packages start at $2,700, with full-day and multi-day options available depending on how you want your day to feel.
