back to what mattters.

Adventure Elopements are Redesigning the Way
People get Married.
and turning it into an intimate & personalized experience
Your wedding day should be one of the most exciting & important days of your life. So why do couples feel so much stress/anxiety when planning a big wedding? Your day is about celebrating this beautiful commitment you two are making- not planning a day full of obligations, pressures and expectations from friends & family.
Elopements bring the focus back to what matters, YOU TWO. Your relationship is exceptionally unique and your wedding day should reflect you two authentically. Eloping gives you permission to forget society’s standard of a wedding day and fill it with what matters most to you.
so let’s create an epic
wedding experience
that you’ll actually enjoy.
YOUR WEDDING SHOULD FOCUS ON WHAT’S
IMPORTANT TO YOU.
It’s easy to get lost in the ‘production’ side of a big wedding. It can feel like you’re planning a huge party for others and are constantly trying to please everyone but yourself.
You deserve a wedding day that prioritizes your needs, a day that gets you excited, celebrating your marriage how you two want. Elopements give you the chance to have an intimate wedding filled with all the parts of a wedding that matter to you, while leaving out any parts you don’t feel are necessary.
It’s your wedding, your money, and your celebration-
you get to decide what you want that day looks like.

LEARN MORE ABOUT ME:
I’m Amanda Vaelynn, and I’m here to help you create an intimate, meaningful, and epic elopement experience.
I am a Washington based elopement photographer who photographs couples around the U.S. and worldwide, but specializes in these specific locations:
Washington, Oregon, Montana, Wyoming, Arizona, California, Utah, and Colorado.
I BELIEVE YOUR WEDDING DAY SHOULD BE AS ADVENTUROUS, AS BREATHTAKING, AND UNIQUE AS YOU WANT IT TO BE.
I want to work with couples to design their ‘perfect day’ that they didn’t even think was possible. I am so excited to hear more about you two as a couple and help create an amazing adventure for both of you.
what it’s like to work with me:
01.
Genuine relationships
Your relationship will be captured authentically as you two. Your day won’t be full of forced poses and smiling until your face hurts. You’ll look back at your elopement gallery and remember moments and memories that actually happened. I know it’s not easy to know how to look cute in front of the camera, it’s MY job to make you two look cute, trust me- you’ll love seeing your gallery full of cute and candid photos.
02.
Old Friends
When we meet, it will feel like we have been friends FOREVER. I’m not a small talk person, I want to get to know you two and have a good time laughing & joking around- we’ll be chatting as we hike our way up the mountain and by the end of the day we’ll probably have a few inside jokes too ;)
03.
Easy Going
Couples who have worked with me describe me as, ‘Easy Going’ ‘Flexible’ ‘Laid Back’. I’m here to make your elopement process & actual wedding day as stress-free and amazing as possible. If we need to change plans or run a few minutes over schedule, we will make it work and I’m here to help keep you calm and relaxed about everything.
04.
The Little Moments
Your elopement photos will be full of candid and authentic moments. I’m all about capturing those in-between moments on your day, not just the big stuff. You’ll be able to look back on your gallery and relieve every tear you shed or laugh you had on your special day.
05.
Planning Expert
Since you’ve probably never planned an elopement before, that’s where I come in. I know exactly what you need to do to have a perfect elopement day. I’m here to guide you through permits, locations, logistics, timeline, and to reassure you that you planned everything you needed to! I talk all about my elopement packages below, so keep reading to learn all about them!
“Booking with her was the best decision because she really focused on making the day about us. She made the process extremely easy… She is a delight to work with and so fun to be around. My husband and I are super weird about taking pictures (how do you look natural? what do you do with your hands?) and she made it so comfortable for us! We are OBSESSED with the pictures.. We honestly cannot recommend her enough!”
-Ania C.
“Amanda was incredibly easy to work with. She is not only a photographer, but your GO-TO girl for everything elopement! She is AMAZING! We didn't meet her face-to-face until the morning of our elopement and she immediately felt like a best friend. She is so easy going and has such a good energy that you just want to be around her. We barely even noticed we were having a photoshoot, we were just having fun!… Moving along to the product... WOW! First, I have heard of couples having to wait up to a year to get their wedding photos back, so we felt very blessed to barely have to wait a month! And we were OBSESSED! Amanda is insanely talented! She captured absolutely everything AND more!

Amanda made planning easy and fun by creating guides that helped us figure out our dream location and elopement day. Amanda was professional, friendly and fun to work with. She made it fun and relaxed… she kept us laughing and we had an awesome time posing and playing around on the beach and in the woods. After receiving our gallery, we are SO HAPPY with the photos!! Wouldn't change a thing. We love how you can see the emotion in everyone's faces, and the editing is beautifully done.
