Oregon elopement photographer
Choosing something different doesn’t mean settling for less. it means cresting space for what actually matters, caring more about your experience together than a wedding day that feels like a performance. Whether you’re planning an intimate Oregon elopement on the coast with your family, or saying your vows privately in Mt. Hood, you’re choosing a day that actually reflects who you are as a couple, not a day that feels like it's a party for everyone but you.
YOUR MARRIAGE IS ABOUT YOU, WHY SHOULDN’T YOUR WEDDING DAY BE?
The big wedding can take a hike
How do we know we’re choosing a location that actually works and won’t come with last minute stress or surprises?
How do we include the people we love without losing the intimacy or meaning we’re choosing an elopement for?
What does an elopement day actually look like from start to finish?
When do we need to book vendors, and how do we even find the right ones for an elopement?
How do we create a day that feels like us, without getting swept up in a million decisions?
But maybe you have some questions keeping you up at 2 in the morning:
If these questions feel overwhelming, you’re not behind. you don't need to know how to do this, you just need someone that does.
Most couples start right here. Then it gets easy.
Just like you, All of my clients had these same questions and felt overwhelmed at first. But here's the good news.
I'll guide you through every decision, big and small, from start to finish.

She was always just a text away for any questions or thoughts throughout the whole planning process.

(she even served us and our few guests hot chocolate out of her car while out in the snowy mountains🥹🥲so dreamy, something i’ll never forget) Thank you thank you THANK YOU Emilee for our photos and memories we will cherish for our lifetime.
From start to finish, you are in caring hands
We chat on the phone so I can figure out where you’re starting from, even if you don't have anything planned yet. This is the part of the process that gives you clarity. I’ll get to know you and help you figure out the foundations of your plans.
Once you’re booked, you get questionnaires that will help me find the perfect elopement location ideas for you to choose from.
Finally, when we’ve nailed the big picture, I help you hammer out the details. This includes finding lodging, recommending vendors, curating timelines, securing permits, and anything else you might need
Here are the steps:
You see a stranger’s puppy & it takes everything in you not to run up & cuddle it.
Your dress gets dirt on it, and you shrug.
You think ice cream & wine is always an acceptable dinner option. Always.
You LIVE for the feeling of sunshine on your skin & wind in your hair.
You’re already screaming YASSSS WHERE DO I BOOK YOU?
Elopement Packages Designed to Make You Feel Like This
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.
Your Oregon elopement photo-grapher
Your Oregon elopement photographer
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.
Posing without the Performance
Let's Plan your elopement
From the very first call she was polite, full of ideas and listened to every single detail we brought up for our day. Anytime I needed a question answered or advice on anything she got right on it.
The photos she took were absolutely magical and looked like something straight out of a fairy tale book. She told us how to pose and kept it super fun the whole time which helped us get a lot more comfortable with the camera. Don’t walk, RUN to the phone and call her if you need a planner/photographer.
Don’t walk, RUN to the phone and call her if you need a planner & photographer.
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.
Why I Only Take 20 Couples Per Year:

Activity suggestions
The uniqueness of elopements comes down to them being about the experience and not just a ceremony. We will work together to come up with activities for your day that speak to the type of couple you are and the way you want celebrate together
Lodging research
Lodging is important for elopements, not only do we want them to be close to the elopement location, but they are often used for intimate receptions for couples including guests. I will help you find exactly what you need
Hidden gem location scouting
Other photographers might recommend generic, crowded locations. Did you know 90% of Yosemite Park remains unexplored by guests? I will find you stunning locations that are unique to you and off the beaten path

What's Different about my elopement packages

My guidance calls are here to make planning exciting and not put all the planning on you. Whether you have questions, need advice, or just want to brainstorm, I’m available to co-create the experience every step of the way.
My wife and I always imagined getting married in a remote location, around water, trees, and just each other. After our first phone call meeting we knew that she could make all of our ideas and wishes come true, she made us feel comfortable and understood what we wanted and had envisioned. Emilee provided us with vendors, a list of locations for us to choose activities and the ceremony, and was so honest about the reality of making our desires actually happen. Emilee responded promptly as we planned our trip and was very communicative. Not only was she our photographer but she was also our planner. Our photos were better than we could've ever imagined, Emilee captured the nature, our love, and our personalities. We HIGHLY recommend Emilee for your elopement!
"We knew she could make all of our wishes come true"
Our wedding would have never been possible -or as magical- without her guidance and raw talent (that is NOT an understatement- she helped us plan it within 45 days). She was there every step; providing recommendations & vendors, insightful advice, creating a flawless itinerary encompassing every request we had, and made us both feel relaxed and comfortable in front of her lens.
And. the. pictures! We couldn’t have dreamed up anything better! We chose the 2 Day package and would choose it again and again. Somehow, in all the long hours and days, she managed to capture our real-life, fairytale - through Polaroids, reels and photos so beautiful they made us cry. We’ve been showered with compliments by more people than we can count, all echoing: ‘they’re the most beautiful wedding photos I’ve ever seen’, and, ‘your photos look like they are out of a magazine!’. A true testament to her incredible work, Emilee deserves all the praise.
I found Emilee serendipitously. I’m not sure if I have the Universe, God, karma, or a mix of all three to give thanks, but I’m forever grateful I found her!
I cannot recommend Emilee enough for your photos!! She was there for us in our planning stages, our crazy ideas, our last minute changes, our family needs, etc. She helped us with everything possible and we were so thankful to have such a kind and passionate photographer with us on our special day.
I have never enjoyed taking photos, but Emilee was so great with just letting us be us and reminding us its our day and we can do exactly what makes us us and the photos will come out perfect!
She was there for us in our planning stages
Emilee was AMAZING!!! Made both my wife and I feel so comfortable throughout the day. She really helped us plan out our whole day, and give us a sense of ease. Emilee was very respectful and thoughtful with asking questions and navigating us through this whole process. Her photos turned out incredible and brought our vision to life!
She made the whole process easy
She was professional and so unbelievably helpful from the very beginning, making us feel comfortable and confident in our elopement plans and day-of specifics throughout the entire process - from all the way across the country.
We are so in love with all of our photos and have gotten so many compliments on just how beautiful they turned out. Emilee helped us make sure we had all of the special moments captured forever, can’t thank you enough!
Emilee was so wonderful to work with!
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.
You could do this without me.
Here’s something I probably shouldn’t say:
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!!

"everything

ever wanted"
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
"the BEST Oregon elopement photographer"
