You deserve an epic amazing adventure of a wedding day. As defined by you. Not your friends, not your family, not randos on the internet. You. You get to decide what your ultimate elopement day looks like. Wanna celebrate your marriage by shotgunning a beer? Sweet! Recite your vows in Elvish? Right on! Bring your doggos and have them sign as your witnesses- PLEASE DO THAT. (seriously, do that)
Your elopement can be your total Peak Existence; a day that honors your very rad selves… with zero pressure and all the stoke.
Do the thing you long to do. Your experience matters.
It’s not about the stuff. It’s about you.
Experience is Paramount
Less Production, More Freedom
Epic photos come second. I know, I know it’s pretty wild for a photographer to be admitting that but seriously, this is your wedding day, not just an elaborate photo shoot. You having the most romantic, epic, stoke-filled day ever is hands down the most important thing.
This is the first day of the rest of your lives together, the last thing you need to be worrying about is putting on a show. You deserve to feel free to be you, free to do the things you love, free to start your lives together in a way that is authentic to you as a couple.
Friends, this is so epic you’re eloping! You are both so ridiculously rad! The
stoke is very real! There is so much fun and play and joy to be had!
Zero Pressure, All the Stoke
Your Elopement Experience Matters
So my job is not to show up on your wedding day as some rando with a camera. By the time your wedding day comes to a close I will have been your hype woman, location scout, a day-of detail wrangler, hiking partner, sharer of stoke, and above all, a friend. I’ll probably spend my portion of the day happy crying behind my camera.
But what gets us from here…to there?
First: A Phone Call
I hop on a super chill phone call with you and your partner so we can chat about all the hopes and dreams you have for your elopement day and get to know each other a bit. We swap stories, dream about your best day ever, and start to game plan. Got questions? Excellent. We'll talk about those, too!
Second: We Book
Wooo!!! We settle on a specific date and a general location and your epic as hell elopement is officially on!
Third: “The Three W’s!”
The Who, What, and Where’s. Together we figure out exactly what your day is going to look like, who will be there, and where exactly it will be. The best part: it's a day that's authentically you. No status quo here. This day's all about you.
And Finally: Peak Existence
The real deal! A stress-free, stoke-filled and genuine wedding day dedicated entirely to what matters most; the two of you. You hike, you kiss, you are officially married. Celebration commences.
So, guess what? This is what it’s all about, folks; your experience. Having *fun* Even more than the pictures (which will be rad!), I care the most about you having a time so marvelous that the memory of it alone could sustain you for forever.
Yes, sign me up!

...Your experience is.
Plot Twist.
THE PHOTOS? THEY AREN'T THE POINT OF YOUR ELOPEMENT.
I know, I know.
A wild thing for a photographer to say, right?
So don't get me wrong. You will get a whole gallery of epic and amazing photos. But those photos are the result of your experience... and your experience is *everything.* The best photos don't come from posing perfectly together- they come from having fun and doing the things you love in a place that inspires you, all with the person you love most.
The photos are never the point. They are a rad result of having the best day ever.
Does that sound like what you're looking for?

Where to begin?… let me start with advice to you. Book her. Book Aimee right now. Do not wait a second longer. You will not regret it. From the very beginning of planning our elopement, Aimee was amazing. She made the whole process seamless and so that it never felt overwhelming. She spent time getting to know us and what was important to us. In the week before our date when weather seamed it might not cooperate, she was all over it. We never felt like we needed to problem solve anything. All her hard work translated into an elopement that was truly magical and one of our greatest adventures together. Not only did we have a day that felt like “us”, but we had a day that are so memorable in every way possible. If we could relive it all a thousand times we would still want to relive it more. Never once did we feel uncomfortable being photographed. We were consumed by every moment in the most delightful way. Aimee was our photographer, local guide, day of event planner keeping things on schedule so we didn’t have to, and our biggest fan. The day she gave us is more than we could have dreamed of and we are so thankful to her. We are left in awe by the pure magic of the day in every way possible.

Wow - where to start?! The pictures are beautiful and the day was amazing. We are so grateful to Aimée. It was like taking pictures with a really good friend who is also a knowledgeable guide and a great photographer. Aimée really exceeded our expectations (which were already pretty high!) and although the day would have been special no matter what, she took our elopement to the next level. Her attention to detail and suggestions for posing make the photos so beautiful and natural looking even when they are staged, and they capture the feeling of the day so we can have those memories for a lifetime. Beyond the photography, Aimée's help in planning the day and choosing the best spots along with her calming presence, excitement, and friendliness made the day so much better. Even though it was just us, we were both nervous about things going right, and Aimée made it feel so easy and natural. We never felt like we were on a schedule, and we were really able to relax and just enjoy the moment with each other. It was exactly what we wanted and we really could not have asked for anything more! We cannot recommend Aimée enough! She is super helpful, organized, communicative, knowledgeable, kind and fun. She'll help you articulate your vision for the day and you will have an experience you'll always remember
It was like taking pictures with a really good friend

There are photographers, and then there's Aimée – a magician behind the lens, especially for those who dare to dream of an adventure elopement. She crafted the most intimate and awe-inspiring wedding experience for us in Zion National Park. We embarked on a sunrise hike in 27-degree weather, covering 5 miles over the course of the day. Aimée was not just our photographer; she was our guide, our cheerleader, and our problem solver. Her preparation for the elements and her positive attitude kept us going, turning what could have been challenging moments into cherished memories.
Aimée's vision, adventurousness, and meticulous planning allowed us to have these magical moments. Her immense talent and buoyant spirit captured not just images but the essence of our love and the breathtaking beauty of the landscapes. She’s more than a photographer; she’s an artist and a storyteller who brings your dream elopement to life.
If you're dreaming of an elopement that's as adventurous and unique as your love story, look no further than Aimée. She will exceed your expectations, not just with the stunning photos but with the entire experience. We will forever sing her praises from the mountain tops and recommend her to anyone wanting to turn their elopement into an unforgettable adventure.

I 1,000% recommend Aimee to any and all couples. She’s more than an amazing photographer, she’s an asset to have on your big day. I can’t emphasize enough over text how grateful we are that we chose her and that she was there to capture our wedding day. She creates pure magic. She captured our day in the most MAGICAL way possible. If I had a vision of how I thought our wedding day would be captured, she took that and elevated it x1000. The photos she sent us are jaw dropping. My words here aren’t doing any justice. Full disclosure, it rained on our wedding day and was quite simply not nice out (which for me was something I didn’t want to happen, especially with an outdoor wedding). I can say with complete honesty that not only was Aimee fully prepared for any sort of weather imaginable, but she made pure art out of our day to the point where I’m glad it rained, no joke. We felt so comfortable in her hands the whole time and this woman knows what she is doing, period. Apart from the photos and from a business perspective, she went above and beyond for us. We had some unexpected events in the month prior to our elopement and she was so, so flexible with last minute changes and REALLY, genuinely wanted us to have the experience we envisioned.
We reached out to Aimee because of her GORGEOUS portfolio and her work lined up with what we were looking for. We had a zoom call to meet face to face and immediately we knew she was our photographer. She was SO friendly, easy to talk to, no pressure at all (I mean it), she’s SUPER down to earth and so nice. She is SO knowledgeable about the elopement process it’s insane. In conclusion, I fully believe every couple needs Aimee to capture their day. We can’t express enough positivity about our experience with her. you won’t regret it!!

Aimée is the best. Period. Her ability to connect and hold space for us to craft the perfect elopement adventure that matched our vision is a special talent only surpassed by the quality and timelessness of the photos she creates. There are so many reasons to opt for an elopement, but even they can come along with a different kind of stress. Aimée’s ability to plan, prepare, present options, and contingencies are what every couple need when deciding to elope. And the level of reassurance she gives along the way is on par with that of a golden retriever when you’re having a really bad day. A week before our elopement my father passed away. Aimée was right there, assuring us that whatever decisions or change of plans that needed to happen, she would support us in every step. Her compassion, kindness and flexibility relieved a pressure valve and allowed us space to think about what we really wanted to do. Between that and our family’s encouragement to stick to the plan, we made it happen. Even with the grief, everything fell into place.
Choosing an elopement/wedding photographer is much more than finding beautiful photos that resonate with you. It’s just as important to find someone you have a connection to and want to share your best day yet with. Thank you Aimée for helping make it our best day yet.

Wow- I have no words to describe the amazingness of Aimée and our experience with her. When we started looking into an adventure elopement, we had absolutely no idea where to begin and both of us felt a little bit like imposters too- like are we even cool enough to do this? Then my partner found Aimée’s instagram page. Aimée’s incredible photography skills are seriously just the icing on the cake. Obviously we hoped for epic photographs (and she delivered and then some!) but it was just as important to us that we find someone with whom we could feel as comfortable as possible. We can both be a bit shy and like so many, are not used to being photographed. As a queer couple, one of the biggest things we were looking for was someone who was not only inclusive, but also just comfortable with us, so that we could feel comfortable too. We found in Aimée all of this and more. She is so down-to-earth, thoughtful, patient, funny, knowledgeable, talented, encouraging and just an overall really cool person! Throughout the whole process, we felt so reassured knowing she had our back regarding every single little thing. I think I would have been a thousand times more nervous had we gone with any other photographer.
Whenever she would ask us what we hoped our elopement day would be, the word that we kept using was “magical,” and that’s truly how it felt. It was, to use the cliché, a once in a lifetime experience. Her top priority at all times was our safety and comfort, whether it was while we were off-roading, standing on cliff’s edges, saying our vows, or doing a night hike to get the most insane star photos ever. We never felt rushed or awkward. It seriously felt just like hanging out with a very dear friend all day, going on some awesome adventures, and getting married to the love of my life to boot. If you are considering who to book for an adventure elopement, don’t hesitate- book Aimée while you can because she is a rising star!

There are not enough words to describe how wonderful Aimee is. I had her picked out as our elopement photographer before my husband had even proposed and aside from saying yes to him, it was the best decision we could have made. We are not people that like being the center of attention or being in photos. Aimee has this magical way of making everyone feel comfortable and not like they are at a photoshoot. We had a few of our family members attend our elopement ceremony and my aunt put it best “Aimee managed to be present yet invisible all at the same time.” She let us have our day, experience some of the best moments of our lives and somehow captured it all like she had been putting us in poses all day long (which she didn’t).
When my husband and I went through our photos we found ourselves saying “how the heck did she get that photo” because we didn’t remember her being in plain sight when we were in the moment. Aimee set up our timeline, scouted and helped pick our locations, answered all our questions and ensured we had thought of every detail and helped adjust our day when we ran a little behind. She truly was such an enjoyable addition to our day and our lives. You will only enhance your day (and life, seriously) by booking her! 11/10 Aimee!!
