You started planning a traditional wedding, but everything felt performative.

The idea of being the center of attention for 100+ people sounds exhausting.

You'd rather spend your day somewhere that actually means something to you—not a wedding venue chosen from a Pinterest board.

You want your wedding to feel intentional and true to who you are, not like you're following someone else's script.

But when you started researching elopements, you realized...the planning part isn't as simple as you thought.

Permits, timelines, finding vendors, location logistics—suddenly "simple" feels complicated again.

YOU'RE NOT ALONE.

And you don't have to figure it all out yourself.

Let me guess...

I've spent 12+ years helping couples navigate the beautiful chaos of planning and photographing elopements across Colorado's Western Slope and Moab, Utah.

I believe your wedding day should feel as good as it looks—
which means comfortable, intentional, and entirely stress-free.

Whether you need someone to guide you through the entire planning process or just want a photographer who gets it, I'm here to make sure your day unfolds exactly the way you envisioned.

When I'm not helping couples plan and document the day of their dreams, you can find me drinking chai tea and binge watching Gilmore Girls or Grey's! 

Hi, I'm Amanda

about me

SHE/HER

-Allison & Ethan

Amanda is the perfect wedding photographer. The photos perfectly captured the whole day and I feel like I can easily relive it just by looking back at the photos. I highly recommend Amanda.

"The Perfect Wedding Photographer"

-Megan & Jordan

Amanda was the best decision we made for our wedding day! The photos are exceptional and perfectly capture the scenery and vibe we were going for, but that’s only a portion of what Amanda provided. She helped give us planning guidance, organization, and reassurance throughout, which alleviated all the worries we had about eloping in a place we’d never been before. 

"the best decision we made"

-Beth & Dustin

We used Amanda for our wedding and she is the BEST! Our photos turned out amazing and she captured the feel of our night perfectly. She’s also really fun to hang with. We didn’t want her to leave at the end of the night!

"She captured the feel of our night perfectly."

- Kylie & Murat

Amanda did an amazing job on our elopement photos! She was incredibly organized during all the planning and sent incredibly helpful tips and ideas in the months leading up.

"Incredibly organized & helpful"
