Choosing something different doesn’t mean settling for less—it means making space for what actually matters. You care more about connection than production—more about presence than perfection. Whether you’re eloping just the two of you or surrounded with your favorite people. you’re choosing quality over quantity, meaning over tradition, and a day that actually reflects who you are.
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 experience you really want with the ability to prioritize the desires of you and your partner.
YOUR MARRIAGE IS ABOUT YOU, WHY SHOULDN’T YOUR WEDDING DAY BE?
BUT MAYBE YOU'RE FEELING A BIT LOST with THE WHOLE ELOPEMENT PLANNING THING.
There are so many beautiful places out there—how do we know what’s really accessible, legal, or right for us.
How do we include the people we love without it turning into a traditional wedding?
Are elopements all-day events? What should our timeline look like?
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?
Just like you, All of my clients had these same questions and felt overwhelmed at first. But here's the good news.

… We chat on the phone so I can figure out where you’re starting from, even if you have nothing planned yet and don’t feel “ready,” this is the part of the process that gets you there. 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 location for you, plan activities, and curate timelines for you and your partner.
… Finally, when we’ve nailed the big picture, I help you hammer out the details. This includes finding lodging for you and your guests, recommending vendors, and all the small things to make your day stress free and fully planned
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?
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.
Your Oregon elopement photographer
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.
"From our first call, we knew we had found our perfect" wedding photographer."

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"
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.

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!!
