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.
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.
Let's Plan your elopement
She made my planning a microwedding a dream, finding possible ceremony sites, understanding permits needed, finding lodging options, & potential activities for us. She felt like a friend by the end of the process (which made the actual taking pictures part so much easier & chill!), She went above and beyond to ensure our vision came true. The photos we’ve gotten so far (less than a week after!) are INCREDIBLE. If you’re looking for a day that fully encompasses who you are & want to celebrate your own way, she’s absolutely who you should book!
For starters, Emilee is just a wonderful person: kind, relatable, hard-working, prompt, creatively talented, and emotionally intuitive to name a few. She’s like the Maid of Honor on your wedding day- running the show behind the scenes like a Boss, keeping everyone on time, and magically solving all the problems (I may or may not have forgotten to pick up our cake 🙃), and having a magic hat full of items you didn’t realize you needed and most likely forgot (insert *bug spray*).
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 90 VIP elopement guide 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.
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.
Emilee is a 12-out-of-10! From our first phone call, she was professional, prepared, kind, helpful, and patient. She spent an ENTIRE day with us, from breakfast to pitch dark outside, and supported our vision for the day wholeheartedly. Her photography speaks for itself - she will make you feel like your elopement day was featured in Vogue. Cannot recommend more highly, Emilee is the best you can get!
We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with Emilee. From the very first conversation when our elopement was just a spark of an idea, she was incredibly helpful, guiding us through every step of the planning process with insight, patience, and genuine enthusiasm. She did impressive research to craft a timeline that fit in everything I dreamed of, while also learning the environment to help us avoid crowds, heat, and other stressors. Her quick response times made us feel supported and reassured, no matter how big or small our questions were.
With my elopement packages, there’s no need to decide on a location before booking, that’s something I help all my couples with. I’ll work with you to find the perfect spot, anywhere in the world. Using a simple and fun questionnaire, I’ll create a custom list of stunning locations tailored to your vision, so you can feel confident we’ll find the place you’ve been dreaming of.

Unlike other photographers who help with planning, we don’t get on a call, sign a contract, and then only communicate over email until your wedding day. I offer guidance calls that you can easily schedule to give you support on any of your questions when you need it. With years of expertise in planning unforgettable elopements, I’m here to support you and your ideas every step of the way.
With a background in videography, I bring a unique storytelling approach to photography, capturing genuine emotions and preserving the heartfelt moments that define your day.
My approach to posing keeps you interacting with each other to curate and capture your real connection and keep things genuine. All of the photos you see on my website are of regular couples who once said “we’re awkward in front of the camera.” Don’t worry, I make this easy and fun.
GIFs add energy and creativity to your wedding gallery, bringing your elopement day to life with movement. Included with your final images, they’re perfect for sharing on social media and reliving the joy of your day in a unique way.
Who doesn’t love sneak peeks? I deliver a gallery of digital sneak peeks one week after your wedding day, but you also get day of polaroid sneak peeks. These tangible keepsakes let you relive and share moments from your day instantly.
All of your beautiful photos compiled into an easy to use gallery that tells the full story of your day, delivered in three months or less.

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!
Oregon elopement photography pricing varies depending on coverage length and the level of support you want. My packages start at $5,800 for 4 hours, with all day and multi day options available. Most couples invest $7,200 to $8,800.
Yes. After you fill out a short questionnaire, I use your answers to find the best Oregon elopement locations based on the scenery you love, crowd levels, activities you want to include, guest count, and hiking or accessibility preferences. You’ll receive a custom location guide with photos and details, making it easy to choose a spot that truly fits your vision.
Yes! My Oregon elopement packages include travel anywhere in the state, with no hidden fees. Whether you’re planning an Oregon Coast elopement, a mountain elopement, or something more remote, you’ll know exactly what’s included upfront.
Absolutely. My elopement packages are designed for both private just-the-two elopements and days that include guests. Whether you want your guests present for the entire day or prefer to split the day between time with family and private moments together, I’ll help you plan a timeline and location that supports that experience.
How many hours you need depends on your location, guest count, and how you want the day to feel. Shorter coverage works best for one main location and a more streamlined plan. If you want multiple locations, time for a slow morning, adventure, a private ceremony, or sunset photos, all day coverage gives you the most freedom and the most relaxed timeline.
Yes, in the sense that your photography experience includes planning support and guidance from start to finish.

You stay in control of your budget, and I help you build a day that feels personalized and stress free.
Every Oregon elopement package includes photography coverage plus planning support to help you create a day that feels intentional and stress free. This includes a complimentary planning call, a custom location and activity guide, lodging and vendor recommendations, permit guidance, and a thoughtfully built timeline.

Yes, both. I specialize in Oregon Coast elopements and mountain elopements throughout the state! From dramatic coastal cliffs and beaches to alpine lakes, forests, and mountain tops. Oregon is home base, but I’m also a destination elopement photographer and work with couples worldwide offering the same planning support.
Yes! I’m ordained in Oregon and many other states, and I can legally marry you as part of your elopement. Officiating is included in my packages at no additional cost. Oregon does require two witnesses to sign your marriage license, and many couples ask nearby hikers or members of the public who are usually happy to help!
