LET ME GUESS…

Maybe you started planning a traditional wedding, but everything felt all wrong.

You knew that as much as they’d be trying to help, your family and friends would ultimately change your ideas and plans for the big day.

The idea of being the center of 100s of people’s attention all day sounds like a nightmare.

You knew that throwing a big party actually meant you wouldn’t have time to see everyone, or spend time with your new spouse.

You believe your wedding day should be an intimate celebration focused on your love for each other and who you are as a couple!

YOU ARE NOT ALONE, FRIEND
If this is all sounding just like you, choosing to have an intimate wedding or elopement may be the ultimate path for you!

IMAGINE YOUR WEDDING DAY…

Imagine your wedding day that’s completely about your love for one another.

Imagine feeling fully comfortable in front of the camera, knowing your photographer will gently guide you to look your best.

Imagine spending your entire wedding day together, exploring an incredible area and doing what you love.

Imagine having a pro with ten years of experience on your side the help you with every step of the way so you feel completely prepared.

Imagine spending a fraction of the money on your celebration, so you can save that money toward an incredible trip or a down payment on a new home.

Imagine having the flexibility to plan your perfect day, whether that includes a morning hike, a dip in a hot spring, or the most incredible alpine lake backdrop. Your day is fully your own.

Imagine reliving the best day of your life every time you look through your photographs.

SOUND INCREDIBLE? YOUR WEDDING DAY CAN BE ANYTHING YOU WANT WHEN YOU ELOPE.

LET'S DO THIS

Totally lost on how to elope?

You've made the decision that eloping is right for you. But what do you do now???

Don't worry - i got you.

You'll receive access to my 124 page elopement guide full of everything you could ever have questions about for how to elope! From marriage license navigation, to emergency kit checklists, to advice for what to wear, to choosing your lodging, and so much more - this guide is your new best friend.

And so much more!

With over ten years of experience, I will be by your side through the planning process, offering my insight & expertise!

LOCATION SCOUTING

I will help you with location suggestions, whether you already know what you’re looking for but need help finding the perfect match, or you have no idea what you want and need help narrowing it down with you. After a quick questionnaire to get a good feel for your needs, I'll create a guide for some of my favorite spots that fit, and we'll hop on Zoom to go over the pros and cons together. I will also help guide you through applying for any required permits we may need for those spots.

TIMELINE PLANNING

Whether you’re planning activities for your elopement or just need help with timing the perfect sunset ceremony, I love to help my couples with creating the perfect timeline for the day. I'll create an agenda, with as much specific or general timing as we want, and what spots and activities we'll be doing there.

GROUP PHOTO LIST CREATION

Elopement Guide

From helping you brainstorm ideas you’ve never considered, to helping you with the logistics of making those ideas happen, consider me your go-to person to bounce things off of to craft the most amazing day you can imagine!

If you’re having guests along for the day, I will help create a formals list so that we have a list of shots to make sure we’re not missing any combos on the day-of.

Having helped couples elope in these areas for over nine years now, I’ve gotten to know all the pros to recommend to help bring your visions to life.

When you book me, you get my 124 page Guide to every step of the journey too!

Your wedding day should feel comfortable.

I help couples craft their dream wedding day that is private, comforting, and stress-free.

You don't have to be anxious about your wedding day!

All the fun, without the fuss

Part of why you wanted to elope was having fewer things to stress about than a traditional wedding, so why would you still want the hassle of planning your elopement day? 

You’re not picky about the details, you just care about a great experience

Have you heard? I'm also offering something new for the Grand Junction area!

grand junction
All-inclusive Elopements

I specialize in drinking chai tea lattes, and watching Gilmore Girls reruns! I also specialize in capturing the story & scenery of your celebration.

As a full service wedding photographer in Grand Junction, my mission is to preserve your favorite moments in beautiful images for you to relive those best moments of life that fly by too fast.

A Little About Me...

I believe there’s no better sight than the night sky at 10,000 feet.

I also believe you should be able to be authentically you on your wedding day. Whether that’s an off-beat elopement or more traditional wedding celebration, I strive to capture each genuine moment.

I strive to capture the day as it unfolds, every candid moment to perfectly preserve your story. I’m a fly on the wall and many guests say they never noticed me! However I’m not afraid to step up and make family formals fly by (people need to know where to stand and what to do with their hands!) I’m a happy medium between posed and candid.

-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!

-Allison & Ethan

Amanda is the perfect wedding photographer. She’s efficient, she gets absolutely all the shots you want and those you didn’t even know you want, and she just blended into our event perfectly. 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.

- Brittney & Brandon

Amanda was absolutely amazing! We traveled from out of state to do a destination engagement photoshoot and she made the planning experience stress free! She helped us each step of the way from the initial contact, to picking a location, picking a date for the perfect snow-covered mountain weather, to the actual photoshoot poses. 

- 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. Plus all her recommendations for other local vendors were fantastic.
