HELLO,
WE’RE HENRY & SERGIO AND WE’RE COMMITTED TO YOUR oregon ELOPEMENT EXPERIENCE
We’re one of the original elopement photographers before elopements became popular. Since 2018, we’ve helped over 200 couples elope all over Oregon and across the world.
Although our main duty is capturing you and your love in the most breath-taking landscapes, we are more than just photographers. We help couples craft an intentional experience that allows honest emotions to reveal themselves because everyone deserve to truly and fully immerse themselves into the day that commemorates the beginning of something new, magical, and worth every second living for.
Just like where you are today, we each also went through wedding planning with our own life partner.
We learned that at the core of who we are as humans, we already know how we want to live, to love, to experience this life.
But somehow, the external noises of expectations can often drown out what we truly believe in – and this happens quite often when it comes to weddings.
We want to empower you through the whole journey of wedding & elopement planning
Here are some places you might have seen our work on adventure elopement photography and how we’ve helped couples like yourselves:

WHY ELOPE IN oregon?
Adventurous oregon Elopement – Epic Love Deserves An Epic Location
We photograph love the way love naturally occurs: organically and tenderly. On your elopement day, you should be able to forget the world and just be with the one(s) who matters the most
So trust us to be there to celebrate you and with you. To hold your hands, to cry with you, and to create memories that will last a lifetime for you
We are inspired by your story, your voice, the way the wind touches your face, the way you look into each other’s eyes and tell each other your vows.
Oregon holds a special place in our hearts. From wandering through the mystical forests of the Columbia River Gorge to exchanging vows amidst the breathtaking landscapes of the Mount Hood, we (and our eloping couples too) have fallen head over heels for Oregon’s diverse beauty. Although Oregon is known for its waterfalls, the forests are also very enchanting and the whole coastline truly is the best of the West. If you think Cannon Beach is pretty, wait until we show you the hidden gems along the central coast and Samuel H Boardman.
Whether you dream of saying ‘I do’ in a lush forest glade, on top of a windswept cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean and haystack rocks, or amidst the serene beauty of a waterfall, Oregon has it all. Let us guide you through this magical land and create unforgettable memories for your elopement experience.

Henry made it easy to get comfortable and was able to capture intimate moments. He was always there when we had any questions.
He shot our adventure elopement in Oregon and it was beyond perfect. From the very first time we reached out to him he made it very easy and comfortable to talk to him about how we wanted our special day to look like. owards the beginning of our special day my wife and I were very nervous but Henry made it easy to get comfortable and was able to capture intimate moments. He was always there when we had any questions. Our photos came out so incredible and were better than anything we could have ever expected. We are so grateful to Henry and hope we can book him again in the future!!!

KIND WORDS
Holy moly, Henry was everything we wanted and more in a photographer!
Wow. Just, wow.
From the first time we contacted and chatted with one another, to keeping in touch through the year, to being SO flexible and kind when a possible military hiccup might have ruined the whole day (day went fine, phew!), and to the actual elopement day, all we can say is WOW, WOW, WOW! We’re not used to being the center of photographic attention and Henry did a beautiful job getting us relaxed and ready for our adventure elopement session. Viet was our wedding planner and the two did such a fantastic job with organizing the behind the scenes of the elopement and for keeping in touch for our marriage license. The whole day was an exciting blur and when we look back on it, we remember the beautiful scenery, the heart felt stories and laughs, and the overall fun we had! Thank you both for such a beautiful day and for all the amazing photos and memories

INTIMATE WEDDING AT CROOK POINT, OREGON
We hired Henry years ago, when we first got engaged — because after knowing we were going to get married, we also KNEW we had to have Henry as our photographer. We were lucky enough to get to work with him, to have his guidance, easy & smooth communication, and his friendship on our side through the planning process. He made it all SO easy. He stuck with us through postponements, venue changes, and overall location and idea changes. And when we met on our wedding day for the first time in real life, it felt like we were catching up with a close friend. He instantly made us feel comfortable, made us feel like being in front of the camera was a natural habitat for us (when in fact it was far from our usual!) and he made it so easy to be ourselves in front of him.
When jess and I planned our wedding, we wanted every detail, every choice to be intentional. And when we knew Henry was also part of the LGBTQ+ community, when we knew he stood up for human rights, when he was part of the health professional community, when he advocated for COVID vaccines, it was truly the easiest decision in the world to want to work together (and be his friend!) When you’re part of the queer community, you understand the deep need to feel safe and feel seen — and working with someone like Henry did just that.
We hired him for two days, our actual wedding day, and then more last minute added on an adventure shoot post-wedding day, and that was the BEST decision. When we met the second day (literally less than 24 hours since our wedding the night prior) he delivered a TON of wedding sneak peaks for us to go through, and they brought us to tears. He captured my wife’s joy, our families tears, and our friends laughter. He captured our love, the way we looked at one another, and the depth of our care for each other. In just under 100 photos of sneak peaks, he showed us our love through his lens and our loved ones eyes and it truly all made sense.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Henry — your photography and your work moved us, and we are so damn lucky to have gotten our love documented by you.

ELOPED IN SAMUEL H BOARDMAN CORRIDOR
Henry is an incredible human being that makes you feel so comfortable right off the bat! Not to mention he is incredibly talented and kind.
Henry’s heart sets him apart from the rest! Due to COVID, we had to delay our adventure elopement from Aprill to July, but Henry helped us keep our spirits up and remind us that our love is not cancelled. We fell in love with Henry’s work long before we booked him. If you’re considering booking, just do it! He is by far the best investment we made in our elopement and is worth every penny and more. He helped us pick a location that suited our timeline and vision, scouted spots, checked in regularly, cared about getting to know us, put our mind at ease and spirits up, AND produces the most incredible photos I’ve ever seen.
Henry is truly talented with personal connection and his artistry. We had the best day with him including getting hitched, doing three hikes, facing some fears with heights, talking about life and crazy COVID times, chatting about murder mystery podcasts on the hike back in the dark (recommended, it gets you back to the car faster!). We really can’t speak highly enough of Henry, and the photos blew our expectations out of the water. Thank you friend! <3

ELOPED AT TAMANAWAS FALLS
We really lucked into finding Henry Tieu Photography for our Elopement! Sergio was our photographer and main man! He was so helpful from the day we booked him all the way to now (post elopement). His energy and demeanor really was perfect for our small group and our personalities. Sergio’s expertise and talent through that grueling hike to Tamanawas Falls to capture our incredible moment has just been indescribable. We are so grateful to have been able to work with him and hope for a long time connection for possibly other photography needs in the future! We cannot thank him enough for his time and brilliance!
