Choosing something different doesn’t mean settling for less. it means making space for what actually matters, caring more about connection than production. Whether you’re planning an intimate Oregon elopement at the coast with your closest people, or a destination elopement just the two of you,. you’re choosing experience over performance, and a day that actually reflects who you are.
Growing up, I felt the weight of expectations pulling me toward a life that didn’t feel like my own. Society told me to follow a traditional path: to give up my passions, aim for perfection, and fit into someone else’s mold of success. But I’ve always been drawn to the unconventional. My dreams of living a creative life with a camera in hand were often dismissed as impractical, yet they’ve led me to this incredible purpose: being an elopement photographer and helping couples plan non-traditional weddings and elopements that break free from expectations and embrace what they truly want, wherever in the world that may be.
Almost every couple tells me on our first call that they’re nervous about being photographed. And yet, they all end up looking incredible. Here’s why:
The best photos come from having an amazing, meaningful day. When you feel supported and in the moment, the photos naturally reflect that.
By the time your day arrives, we’ve already built a connection that makes you feel comfortable around me and the camera. We’ve created an experience-forward timeline you’ll actually enjoy, in beautiful places. Most of your photos come from these candid moments we planned together, reflecting real experiences, not staged poses squeezed between rushed timelines.
Let's Plan your elopement
She made such a daunting task much more manageable from the beginning, and was able to provide us with information from her wealth of experience that was such a relief to us while planning our wedding day. Emilee was prompt to respond and displayed a great attention to detail that we very much appreciated during the planning process, including a detailed location guide and timeline that were very helpful. in making time for just us and our family. In fact, the hike we ended up selecting from her list was absolutely perfect, and she kept us on track the day-of to make sure we would get the sunset photos we wanted at the peak. Emilee is not only an amazing photographer, but such a great person as well.
That’s it, only 20 couples every year. Why? Because my business isn’t built on getting as many clients as I can to make a quick profit.
I do this to give couples my full attention, not only on their wedding day, but during the entire planning process. With me, having an elopement doesn’t mean you have to figure everything out yourself. I’m here for support, brainstorming, and every step.
You could spend months scouting possible elopement locations and navigate getting permits on your own, you could create a timeline for your entire day and figure out the best place to be during sunset, or figure out how to navigate a forest road closure and simply hire a photographer to show up for a few hours.
You could, but eloping should be easy and fun, not stressful. I’m going to make this easy for you. I’ll be there from start to finish bringing your ideas to life, helping you with all of the planning steps. Not only that, but I’ll take the time to get to know you, and make sure we’re creating an elopement day experience that speaks to who you two really are.
My partner and I wanted the experience of an elopement with the community aspect of a ceremony at home, and Emilee saw our vision immediately. She made us both feel so comfortable posing and being ourselves in front of the camera, and captured our multi-day elopement in the most beautiful way. It feels true to us as a couple and we got the best of both worlds with a gorgeous backdrop and our favorite people surrounding us. The process would have been super stressful without her expertise and help with locations and the photos looked straight out of a magazine. I felt so gorgeous and supported all the way through and couldn’t be happier with the results!!
I had calls scheduled with multiple photographers, but after talking to her, we knew instantly we would be hiring her. She is so comforting and easy to chat with, and helped us feel so much more clarity with our ideas on our very first call. Her planning skills helped us bring it all to life with ease as she just made everything so straight-forward. We got to know her super well before our actual wedding day, and it made us feel so comfy in front of the camera. The photos alone are worth every penny, but she goes above in beyond in helping craft meaningful days for people like us who wanted something less traditional. If you're eloping in Oregon, or anywhere for that matter, do yourself a favor and hire her, she's the best Oregon elopement photographer
