THE WEDDING DAY YOU'VE BEEN DREAMING OF
If your idea of a wedding day focuses more on epic mountain views instead of spending thousands of dollars on decor, you're in the right place. No longer a "run off to Vegas" experience, elopements take the stress out of of planning a wedding and put the focus on you and your love.
Read on and learn more about how we can help make your vision come to life!
what you can expect
Every elopement day is different with its own kind of magic. We're here to take you on a journey from moments to memories!
an experienced outdoor photographer, ready for any adventure
location planning and top industry vendor recommendations
Help with timeline and detail planning to keep everything running smoothly
your artwork in stunning albums and print
carefree posing to give you confidence in front of the camera
I'll help you choose the best location for your photos, along with amazing vendors to help you create the perfect elopement team.
You will never have to worry about my outdoor skills - I'm experienced in hiking, backpacking, camping, snowboarding/splitboarding (avy certified!), surfing, and wilderness navigation. I also follow all Leave No Trace principles.
Even if you’re having a small wedding, you will be surprised how quickly the time flies by. I'll help you create a plan to ensure we have enough time for gorgeous photos of the two of you while you focus on having fun with guests and family. Of course, I will be there to capture all of your important moments
The best moments of your life deserve more than a post on Instagram. I am a firm believer that photographs become more meaningful after being printed. Let me help you customize the photos from your elopement into a beautiful album and framed, high-quality artwork for your home.
My posing style is full of fun, connection, and movement, without stiff poses or pretend moments. I know that being in front of the camera can be intimidating for some so my goal is to make you feel as relaxed and comfortable as possible.

PHOTOGRAPHER
If you're looking for an experienced outdoor crazy-person, mountain wedding guru, and adventure buddy to come alongside you on your wedding day, you've come to the right place. I've been a wedding and elopement photographer since 2010 in both the Pacific Northwest and Jackson Hole. Photography has given me the opportunity to help couples create epic outdoor wedding experiences that are a true reflection of who they are as humans. I believe every couple has the freedom to choose what their wedding day experience should be, and I love helping couples make those visions a reality.

I have a calm, no-stress approach to photography. I take advantage of candid moments and mix in fun posing options to keep you feeling great in front of the camera. Storytelling is my specialty on elopement days. Nobody wants their day to feel like an all-day photo shoot, so I take the time to give you the space you need while also beautifully capturing moments throughout the day.
All of your digital photographs are delivered in a beautiful password-protected online gallery for you to enjoy and share with whoever you'd like. You're welcome to print your own photos and share them on social media. I also include either a custom wooden box of 5x7 prints or a professionally designed wedding album. Your photos deserve more than life online!
While I'm an expert in elopements in my backyard (aka Olympic National Park), I have lived in Washington for many years and photographed elopements all over the Pacific Northwest! Booking me for your elopement means you get access to my knowledge and location recommendations. I also recommend amazing vendors like florists and planners that can help you bring your vision to life.
Photographing years of elopements has given me insight into what works and what doesn't on an elopement day. I'll share my secrets with you and help you build a timeline that allows you to have a stress-free elopement day.
I love to plan travel and vacations, so this is right up my alley. If you need suggestions on where to stay, activities for you and your guests, hikes to try or other fun ideas for your elopement, I'm happy to help.

She also was great at cuing us when necessary to help put us at ease in front of the camera. All and all, really we couldn't be happier and would recommend Amy to any and all who are looking for a fantastic photographer that takes amazing photos and is a true pleasure to work with.
"AMY has an incredible eye for catching special moments"
jon & carley
She was flexible and absolutely understood what we were looking for in our wedding photos. The end result was turned around quickly and the images were incredible. The only thing that I cared about from my wedding was having great photos, and Amy delivered. She was worth every single penny, I cannot recommend her enough.
"amy is beyond amazing"

what happens if it rains on our elopement day?
My style focuses heavily on capturing real, natural moments between humans. I want you to look back and remember exactly how you felt on your wedding day when you see your photos. I stay away from awkward posing to focus on what matters most, giving you space to be yourselves. In addition to that, I love capturing the special connection that many of my clients have with the great outdoors. This is possible through my own deep appreciation for nature.
Absolutely not. Once you book I'll have you fill out a questionnaire that tells me all about your hiking experience and the type of scenery that speaks to you. I have dozens of stunning photo locations up my sleeve that require either minimal walking or no hiking at all.
This really depends on the number of hours you schedule and how many guests will be attending. On average, I deliver 150-300 images for half-day bookings and 400-700 images for full-day bookings. All images come fully-edited and ready for you to print and share within 2 to 6 weeks of your wedding day.
As an elopement photographer, I can help you find the best location for your ceremony, if you haven’t already found one. I will also create a timeline for your best lighting conditions, help you figure out which permits you need, suggest local vendors, and support you throughout your big day to keep things running smoothly.
Not included: setup/teardown of decor or transportation to venue or trailhead.
As a Pacific Northwest local rain is no stranger to me and in fact, I find it quite beautiful. Because I schedule elopements many months in advance, I do not reschedule due to rain. Don’t worry about the forecast, we will just go with flow and have fun creating amazing photos no matter what the weather.
Generally couples book with me 9 to 12 months before their desired date. My summer months fill up very quickly, especially for the few weeks during wildflower season (late July-early August) and during PNW's most beautiful month, September. I have the most availability during the months of November through April when there are still wonderful opportunities for outdoor winter weddings.
Absolutely. Even as a kid I was a total nerd about maps and now I love helping couples find the perfect place to say "I do". I have traveled extensively throughout the Pacific Northwest capturing weddings, hiking, surfing, skiing and snowboarding. I also love scouting new places, so don't let that hold you back if you are eloping somewhere I've never been. I have my very own super-secret photographer scouting tricks that will ensure you get stunning photos in any off-the-grid location.
