If you’re here, you might be the type of person who spends their weekends tending to your garden, accompanied by a hike on a beautiful trail. Camping trips with your partner exploring new places, filled with belly laughs around a bonfire. You’d pick being under the stars with those closest to you than a big party. It’s always been quality over quantity, and you want your wedding to feel the same way. I’m willing to bet the idea of a big traditional wedding makes you want to run for the hills. You know eloping can give you the personalized experienced you really want with the ability to prioritize the desires of you and your partner.
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: helping others break free from expectations and embrace what they truly want.
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.
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!!
