elopement Pricing
You've realized eloping is the experience for you and now you're stoked ... but also a bit overwhelmed
I am so stoked that you decided to break out of the mold and plan a wedding day that is totally unique to you, full of all of your favorite things.
Ever find a restaurant that looks so good -- but you realized you almost had too many options?
If you realized you can do anything you like on your wedding, but have no idea what you even want your wedding day to look like -- I am so glad you're here!
I help couples just like you dream up the most "perfectly them" elopement, from intimate game nights in cozy cabins, to a coffee shop date before a privately catered dinner, to a hiking adventure in the wilderness.
With over ten years of experience, I will be by your side through the planning process, offering my insight & expertise!
I'm your list-making, pro-tip sharing, happy-dancing, backup-planning, weirdness-affirming, adventure-loving, third-wheeling, elopement experience creator too.
Because I'm more than just your 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!
-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.
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.

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.
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.
ACTIVITY IDEAS
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!
VENDOR RECOMMENDATIONS
Having helped couples elope in these areas for over nine years now, I’ve gotten to know tons of pros to recommend to help bring your visions to life.
GROUP PHOTO LIST CREATION
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.
