A quiet kind of magic.
A wildly intentional beginning.
A day that’s absolutely, beautifully yours.
honest, untamed +
full of heart.
Elopement & Intimate wedding Photographer
Located in Lake Tahoe, CA.
Eloping is more than skipping the guest list.
It’s looking at your person with full-body yes energy and saying,
“This is it. This is us.”
This is your beginning—
wild, grounded, and entirely yours.
All you need to do is show up...
I've got you.
Eloping may mean doing things your way, but it doesn’t mean “last minute at the courthouse.” It can be hard to know where to start (and what permits to secure). That’s where I come in to help make your Lake Tahoe elopement dreams come true!
As your lake Tahoe elopement photographer, I’ll bring:
01
My tips and resources to connect with fantastic local vendors in Lake Tahoe and beyond
02
Experience with planning and timeline creation
03
My best listening skills so I know exactly how to document your elopement day
04
Hype, support, undivided attention and extra bobby pins
05
Leave No Trace ethics and respect for every space I’m in
06
Warm, loving and chill vibes and the one joke I remember
The vows you're sharing are sacred.
THE STATUS QUO? YOU AND I BOTH KNOW IT HAS NO PLACE HERE.
When you throw out all the expectations and strip away the stress of a traditional wedding, you’re left with the pure essence of marriage. It’s the best way to cross this threshold — focused on what really matters.
building something
building something
together.
You two,
incredible.
Hi! I'm Amanda
Especially here in Tahoe!
I'm thrilled they speak to you too!
You don't have to scale a mountain side to quench your thirst for wonder - but if peaks fill your cup, I'm all for bagging at sunrise! I am here to help you create your blissful vision and balance the experience of a lifetime with the sacredness of your vows. All while making sure we stay hydrated and with plenty of snacks!
Even if it's with a cold brewski at the end of the day.
Have I mentioned
I LOVE elopements in Lake Tahoe?!
and I love elopements!

Everyone is still talking about how great she was! She expertly managed to make everyone, even the most camera shy of us (ME), feel at ease. Plus, she is genuinely fun to hang out with!
I am so happy to have met Amanda! She has great energy, is professional, and truly cares about what she does.
