Timeless Photography For Your
Wild Love
You’re ready to trade the stress and expectations for something more real - something that feels like you. With years of experience documenting elopements across the wild beauty of Lake Tahoe and Northern California, I’ll walk with you through every step - from location scouting to timeline flow so your day feels effortless, meaningful, and entirely yours.
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.
Hi there. I'm Amanda!
I help you elope in your own way.
How your elopement day could really feel
Calm + Easy.
It’s moving through the day without rushing and settling into the kind of quiet joy that stays with you long after you’ve said “I do.”
You won’t have to memorize a timeline, figure out where the sun sets, or wonder if this is how it’s supposed to go. I’m here for it all - planning, guiding, documenting so you can be fully present with each other.
I’ll help you find the tucked away spots, hold your bouquet when needed, and remind you to stop and breathe when the views take your breath away.
This is your day -
let’s make sure it feels like it.
-Isabel + Luke
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.
