"she saw all of these beautiful parts of our story..."
"We thought the best thing about eloping was going to be traveling somewhere really beautiful and having all of these really amazing photos. But after ONE conversation with Amy, we realized it was going to be so much more than that! She helped us plan a whole day that was based around some of our favorite memories from over the years. It's like she saw all of these beautiful parts of our story that we didn't notice before, and then turned them into a day that really felt like the best possible way to honor our relationship."

Best Adventure Yet
why elope with us?
First of all, "this ain't our first rodeo". In fact, we've been shooting weddings and elopements for 15 years (yeah, that's a lot of experience!)
and HERE ARE 8 MORE REASONS...
co-crafting your adventure
One of the first things we'll do is help you plan your perfect elopement day. Most couples start out with an idea of WHERE they want to elope, but the rest can be a little overwhelming. But don't worry! We're here to inspire you! We'll get to know your personalities, preferences and concerns, and then present a vision we think you'll love.
custom timeline
We will create a custom elopement day timeline that allows you to make the most of your day. We'll include time for the most epic photos, genuine experiences, and real connection.
COMPLIMENTARY
OFFICIANT SERVICES
Amy is an ordained officiant and can sign your marriage license in most US states.
LOCATION SCOUTING
We will visit your locations beforehand, looking for the best views, creative perspectives and unexpected closures or obstacles. We'll even find backup locations so I am ultra-prepared!
our travel fees are included
Whether we meet you by car, plane, or flying unicorn, there are never any extra travel fees. That means even if our costs go up you won’t pay an extra penny for our travel expenses!
24-hour sneak peek
You'll get a preview within 24-48 hours with 20-30 images (yeah.. it's a lot for a preview!). That means you'll be able to send photos to your family and friends before you even get home!
help with permits & logistics
We'll help you with marriage licenses, permits, dog-friendly trails, and things to bring. We also collaborate with an elopement collective all across the country. We get constant updates on weather, trails, cool photo spots, interesting places to stay and anything else that will help us serve you even better.
unlimited communication
We get it. Questions can come up anytime! You'll have access to us throughout the entire process. We are always here for you to email, text or schedule a video call. (And we'll also check in with you regularly to make sure you aren't stressing out about a thing!)

two-day elopement
12-14 hours of coverage over two days
This package is for couples who want a couples of days to explore and adventure for their elopement. Having a two-day elopement means we can spend a day backpacking out to an incredible location, set up camp and shoot under the stars, and then catch the sunrise and second adventure the next morning! This is also the perfect option for those who want to spend a day adventuring alone together, followed by a day to spend celebrating with guests.
By the way, an elopement isn't an all-day photo shoot. It's making breakfast together, hiking epic trails, canoeing or paddle-boarding, going up in a hot air balloon or taking a helicopter out to a glacier, brewery-hopping, getting small matching tattoos, or building a campfire under the stars. It's all the things you want to do with your partner, with a friend and photographer capturing ALL of it along the way!
For 2-day elopements, we book out an extra couple of days so we have some flexibility during extreme weather.

Don't forget, an elopement isn't an all-day photo shoot.

She can make even the most nervous and self-conscious bride feel at ease
"I cannot say enough amazing and wonderful things about Amy. She has this amazing ability to find and capture your best self. Not only are her pictures downright stunning... but she can make even the most nervous and self-conscious bride feel at ease.
If you want to actually have fun with your photographer, get pictures you will treasure for a lifetime, and not have to stress about anything, hire Amy."
Allison + Chris
"The moments she captures are real and pure..."
"I spotted Amy's work on a friend’s Instagram and knew immediately that she was the photographer for our micro wedding in Maine. What I love most about Amy’s style is that it’s organic, natural, not overly "bridal" or posed. (yuck!) She finds fun ways to make you and your partner laugh. So the moments she captures are real and pure, and you end up looking way cooler than you really are.. haha!"
Jess + Adam
"One more thing... we feel pretty awkward in front of a camera. Will you help us?"
Guess what. No matter how uncomfortable you might feel having your picture taken, I'll bet you a bottle of my favorite Oregon wine that I'm even worse than you are! ;)
"Ok, that's nice, but what does your anxiety have to do with us?"
Weeelllll... it means I get it! I know exactly how nerve-racking it can be, so helping you get comfortable is the first thing I focus on during any session or elopement. It's one of the most important parts of my job to help you have fun, feel comfortable and look amazing in your photos! So trust me, I promise I'll make it fun and easy.
let's get to know each other!
Amy felt like an extension of our family
“Amy felt like an extension of our family. From the first zoom meeting she was so friendly and fun, as well as professional, that my wife and I felt an instant connection with her. Throughout the process she was so helpful, going above and beyond... My wife and I are both normally so awkward, but she made us both feel so comfortable in front of the camera and captured the most beautiful and amazing photos! Watching her work, and be inspired, made us both excited and helped us enjoy the process even more. I look through our album almost weekly. The emotions she captured take me right back to our special day. I can't gush about her enough. Love you Amy!"
