Couples & Engagement Photos
You're in one of the most beautiful places in the country. You should have photos that prove it (beyond just a selfie!)
couples photography in grand junction + beyond
You're engaged, you're living in a beautiful place, and you want photos that actually look like your life here (even if you are getting married somewhere else.) Whether that's canyon walls at golden hour, wildflower meadows in the San Juans, or a vineyard in Palisade — let's make something that feels like you and this place.
Whether you just got engaged, you're passing through on vacation, or you simply don't need a reason — here's how couples usually use my services:
Engagement Photos
Adventure Sessions
Just Because Photos
A session here doubles as the best souvenir you'll ever buy. Honeymooners, post-wedding couples, anniversary photos, and couples on vacation who want photos worth actually hanging on a wall — you're in the right place.
You don't need an engagement, a vacation, or any occasion at all. You're a couple, this landscape is stunning, and you deserve to be in the photos for once. That's a good enough reason!
Planning a proposal and want it captured? I offer those too!
I believe in capturing this moment - because why not?
There's never a perfect time to book a session. Until you realize you kept waiting.
You're never going to be this young again.
The light on the Monument at golden hour isn't going to wait around. Neither is peak wildflower season in Crested Butte, or the fall color window in the San Juans — we're talking maybe two weeks if you're lucky.
This is your home. Or your destination. Either way — it deserves more than that.
A session here isn't a luxury. It's just a really good decision you'll stop second-guessing the moment you see the first photo.
Anniversaries...engagement photos...post-wedding photos... vow renewals...every moment is worth a photo!
Since starting my business in 2012 and moving here in 2015, I've been helping couples navigate the beautiful chaos of planning and photographing elopements across Colorado's Western Slope, San Juan Mountains, and Moab, Utah.
I believe your wedding day should feel as beautiful as it looks—which means comfortable, stress-free, and entirely true to who you are.
Whether you need comprehensive planning support, photography that captures the story and scenery of your day, or both—I'm here to make sure the experience is exactly what you hoped for.
When I'm not helping couples, you can find me with a chai latte, binge-watching Gilmore Girls & Grey's Anatomy - again.

-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.

-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"
-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"

Every session comes with everything you need to actually use your photos — not just store them on a hard drive and forget about them.

Not sure where to go? That's what I'm here for. Based in Grand Junction with 13+ years exploring every corner of the Western Slope and Moab, I'll help you find a spot that fits your vision — whether that's iconic and dramatic or hidden and personal.
