Vancouver Washington Wedding Photographer - Clark County Courthouse Elopement!

Ashley & Taylor got married at the Clark County Courthouse in March of 2024, on an absolutely perfect day! I’ve known Ashley since she was in elementary school, when my dear friend, Karly, married Ashley’s dad. Over the years I’ve done their family portraits, as well as Ashley and her brother’s senior portraits.

Anyway, I was so excited when Karly contacted me about photographing Ashley’s courthouse elopement that I don’t think she even finished her question before I said, “OMG, Yes, of course!” Not only did I get to see Ashley and meet her new husband, but I got to meet their baby for the first time!

I had never been to the Clark County courthouse before, but I was pleasantly surprised at how cool the building looked! Everyone took turns passing the baby around, while Ashley and Taylor did some paperwork as they waited for the judge to call them in. Once in the courtroom the ceremony was quick and easy (as they always are, and I love it!). Afterwards we did some quick photos outside before they headed off to a family dinner to celebrate.

These two tied the knot at the Lewis County Courthouse in Chehalis, Washington. While they were planning on having a celebration with family and friends at a later date, they decided to keep their wedding day, with only their two best friends in attendance. After their short ceremony, we walked around the block and took a few fun photos!
