you can call me Emilee

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.




About your Oregon Elopement Photographer

I’m not just your photographer, I’m your advocate. Here’s what you can expect when we work together:

  • Empathy and understanding: I’ll take the time to truly get to know you, your story, and your vision.
  • Guidance and support: From location scouting to timeline creation, I’ll handle the details so you can focus on each other.
  • A day that’s truly yours: Your love is one of a kind, and your wedding day should reflect that. My goal is to help you craft an experience that feels authentic, personal, and perfectly suited to your story.

Your wedding day is more than just a series of moments, it’s the beginning of a new chapter. I’m here to capture every laugh, tear, and quiet glance, preserving it in a way that feels timeless and deeply personal. My work goes beyond photography. I help guide you through location scouting, building timelines, and navigating the logistics so you can focus on the moments that matter most.

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!

What makes your approach to elopements different?

I focus on creating experience forward elopements that couples actually enjoy, giving beautiful candid moments that translate into effortlessly looking amazing in the photos.
