I’m an Oregon elopement photographer who specializes in outdoor landscapes and experience-forward wedding days. I help couples turn their elopement into something that feels less like a production and more like the best trip they’ve ever taken.
I don’t just show up with a camera and tell you where to stand. I help you shape a vision, choose a location that fits your comfort level and priorities, and build a timeline that gives you space to actually enjoy the day.
Whether you want a full wedding weekend celebrating with loved ones or to elope just the two of you in a place you’ve always dreamed about, I’m here to help you plan it and capture it. What matters most to my couples isn’t just “getting married somewhere pretty.”
It’s building an experience around it.
If that’s what you’re looking for, you’re in the right place. 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!
I’ve been photographing and helping plan elopements for over five years, with more than 100 elopements documented. Over that time, I’ve worked all across Oregon, gaining deep experience with locations, logistics, and what it takes to create an intentional, well paced elopement day.
Couples choose to work with me because they want guidance, not pressure. With over 100 elopements photographed and 60+ five star reviews, they trust me to help plan a day that feels thoughtful and meaningful, and to document it in a way that feels natural and true to them
I focus on creating experience forward elopements that couples actually enjoy, giving beautiful candid moments that translate into effortlessly looking amazing in the photos. Instead of rushing through a checklist, I help you design a day that reflects what matters most to you, then document it in a natural, story driven way.
I’m an elopement photographer based in Bend, Oregon, and photograph elopements all across the state, from the Oregon Coast to the mountains, forests, and high desert. While Oregon is home base, I also work as a destination elopement photographer worldwide.
Planning support is a core part of my work. I help couples plan their elopement from start to finish, including location guidance, timelines, permits, and logistics. My role goes beyond photography so couples feel supported, prepared, and present on their day.
