HELLO,
WE’RE HENRY & SERGIO AND WE’RE COMMITTED TO YOUR PACIFIC NORTHWEST 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 Washington, Oregon, the PNW 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 THE PNW?
Adventurous PACIFIC NORTHWEST 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.
The Pacific Northwest (PNW) is our home. From the foggy, moody coastal of Olympic National Park to the sunny high desert in Oregon, we’ve been lucky enough to not only live here but also to photograph elopements where we not only documented the experience of eloping but also captured the majestic landscapes that nowhere else in the U.S can compare.
Being destination elopement photographers, we’ve photographed all over the world and we love the fact that you don’t have to travel overseas to get incredible views. The Pacific Northwest has it all. You can eloped in the HOH rainforest, on top of the American Alps that is North Cascades, in front of a vibrant waterfalls in Oregon, or all the way down to Samuel H Boardman where incredible rugged rocks and cliffs can inspire your souls.
We don’t ever want to stay stagnant. Besides places where we’ve already photographed elopements in the Pacific Northwest, we constantly scout new locations and we can’t wait to share with you all the hidden gems of the PNW.
Let us guide you through this magical land and create unforgettable memories for your elopement experience.

Obviously incredible photos, but an overall amazing experience with Sergio!
Wow. Just, wow.
Our entire experience with Sergio was absolute perfection. There are quite a few options out there when it comes to choosing an elopement photographer, and I am so grateful we made the best decision in choosing Sergio. What a total, complete gem of a human he is, along with his very obvious skills with a camera! We were nervous about spending our 1:1 time with another person around, but if anything, Sergio enhanced that experience for us: making us laugh, sharing in our joy, and helping us to ensure we were capturing our day the way we wanted to. Everything felt incredibly natural and Sergio knew exactly what we wanted in our day and delivered it. I can’t thank him enough for the day he provided us and the memories he helped capture in our day!

INTIMATE WEDDING IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST (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 THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST (WASHINGTON)
Henry is above and beyond anything we could have ever imagined in an elopement photographer. We knew we wanted to work with him when we first came across his work because he posses the rare ability to capture the intimacy of a moment as well as the grandeur of any landscape. He is an incredible human being and an absolute joy to work with throughout the entire process. His creativity, artistry, is on a whole other level, and we are in love with every single image he captured.
From our first phone call together, Henry was able to answer any questions we had and provide great recommendations based on his experiences. We had never visited Mt. Rainier National Park, so he helped us choose and plan for our particular hike and location.
Henry made the entire planning process FUN. What normally is a daunting, stressful experience turned out to be one of the most fun adventures to plan. When we got to the big day, we really struggled to find anything to worry about.
When Henry arrived to begin capturing our elopement, he jumped right in. He knew what questions to ask and was able to be incredibly creative while on the fly. When he envisions something in his imagination, he knows how to bring it to life. He coached us through each part of the process that day and everyone felt comfortable and relaxed. You can see the evidence of this in the photos he took.
Speaking of his photos, we loved every single one that he took and shared with us in the sneak peaks. Henry knows how to “paint with light,” and his photos are absolutely breathtaking. We couldn’t be happier.

ELOPED IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST ( 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!
