Growing up, I felt the weight of expectations pulling me toward a life that didn’t feel like my own. To follow a traditional path:, 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.
That’s why I do what I do. I want your wedding day to be a reflection of you—your story, your love, and your vision, free from the pressure to conform.
As an elopement photographer based in Oregon, I specialize in capturing stories for couples who choose to break the rules of tradition and celebrate their connection in a way that feels true to them. Whether your vision involves exchanging vows in the heart of the mountains, a quiet moment by a cascading waterfall, or a simple ceremony surrounded by close family, my goal is to create a space where your love is the centerpiece.
Everyone has the friend that loves planning the group trips. I’m that friend. From planning cross country road trips, finding hidden gem hikes and campsites, to international travel and logistics. I love planning, all while leaving room for spontaneity. After planning countless elopements, I have this down to a science, and it feels like second nature. From questionnaires to custom location guides, a 16 page planning checklist, and seamless timeline planning workflows, I will find you incredible locations for your elopement, help you handle the paperwork such as permits and your marriage license, curate an incredible timeline, and whatever else you might need.
Emilee was beyond fantastic!!!! First, she was always available for us throughout our planning. We had plenty of planning sessions and she was super knowledgeable about the area and what would make a great location. She really went the extra mile to ensure that it is the wedding that my wife and I want. On our wedding day, she was everything we hoped she would be; professional, experienced, present, and genuinely a fun person to spend the day with. She loves her job and it shows through both her attitude and her results.
The photos she took are seriously incredible and we are so grateful for everything she did. Thank you Emilee!
