a calm, guided elopement experience—with imagery that feels like you.

LET’S CONNECT!

WELCOME

You don’t have to feel completely at ease in front of a camera to have photos that feel natural and meaningful. As your Oregon elopement photographer, I bring a calm, guided approach so you can relax into the moment and simply be together.

OREGON BASED. PASSPORT READY.

HELLO, I’M SHANNON

— your elopement photographer, calm presence, and steady support throughout it all

You don’t have to have everything figured out before reaching out. I’ll guide you through the entire process so it feels simple, meaningful, and completely you.

I started my business in 2013 while living in Okinawa, and travel has shaped the way I see and experience the world ever since. I’ve explored 27 countries (and counting), which allows me to help you create something intentional—whether that’s here in Oregon or somewhere a little further from home.

If you’re dreaming up something that feels true to you, I’d love to hear what you’re planning.

“Shannon went above and beyond from things such as helping us look for locations, capturing our big day while reassuring us that everything was okay since things were running behind.”

– MELODY

THIS IS MEANT TO FEEL INTENTIONAL. NOT OVERWHELMING.

You’re choosing to elope for a reason.
Because you want something that feels more like you… and less like everything you’ve seen before.

But even when you know that, the questions still come up..

  • How do we plan something intimate without it feeling thrown together?
  • How do we create a timeline that actually feels calm… with space to breathe?
  • Will this really feel like us when it all comes together?


You don’t just need someone to take photos. You need someone who helps you think through it, guides you through it, and makes sure the day itself feels easy, steady, and fully yours.

That’s what I’m here for.

REACH OUT AND LET’S GET STARTED!

I looked at a lot of different photographers for my elopement, seeing as the ceremony was private, it was very important for us to have amazing photos to share with friends and family. My husband and I can both be awkward picture takers, but working with her on that day was easy and fun. We are absolutely thrilled with the work she did. The photos are beautiful, top quality, and bathed in a gorgeous warm light! We cannot stop looking at them!

AS YOUR OREGON ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER, ALL PACKAGES INCLUDE:

You don’t have to figure any of this out on your own. I’ll guide you through the planning process with thoughtful advice and help you create a day that feels simple, intentional, and true to you. From finding a beautiful, accessible location to building a timeline that gives you space to actually be present, everything is designed to feel easy—not overwhelming. And through it all, you’ll have steady support, so you’re never left second-guessing or carrying it alone. When it’s all over, you’ll have a collection of images that don’t just show what your day looked like—but bring you right back to how it felt.

ELOPEMENT OR WEDDING- WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE

Not sure where your day fits? You’re not alone.
If you’re planning something intimate, intentional, and centered fully around the two of you — that’s an elopement.


If you’re gathering 25+ guests, that’s considered a wedding.

Both are beautiful. Both deserve to be documented with care. And yes — I photograph both.

What stood out to me the most was how easy she was to get along with. She was patient and made us feel confident. She guided us through the process and helped us get some stunning shots at the Oregon Coast.

THE PROCESS

WHAT ARE THE STEPS TO ELOPING?

1
Before we plan anything, we start with you. Your story, what feels natural, what you’re drawn to.

This is where things start to feel clear and a little more exciting—without any pressure to have it all figured out.

2
Thoughtful planning, gentle guidance. This is where you exhale.

I guide you through each step—from location ideas to timeline details—so everything feels simple and not overwhelming.

You’ll always know what’s next, and you won’t have to carry it alone.

3
A day that feels calm, meaningful, and fully yours.

When the day arrives, you get to be present in it—not managing it.

I’ll guide when needed, so everything flows naturally and you can just be together.

YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED

I do so much more than show up with a camera. I help with location ideas, timelines, permits (if needed), backup weather plans, and all the little details that make the day feel smooth and stress-free. You get guidance without pressure.

We start with you. What feels like you two? Mountains? Coast? Forest? City? Somewhere sentimental? I’ll send personalized location ideas based on your vision, accessibility needs, and the kind of experience you want to have.

Yes — I photograph elopements across the U.S. and worldwide. I’ve traveled to 27 countries (and counting), so navigating new places is second nature. From location scouting and permits to timelines and travel logistics, I bring real-world travel experience and thoughtful planning expertise to make your day seamless — wherever in the world you choose to say your vows.

Elopements come with adventure — and sometimes that includes wind, rain, or fog. I always build flexible timelines and backup options. And honestly? Some of the most magical, romantic photos happen in “imperfect” weather.

Yes. Elopements don’t have to mean “just the two of us.” Whether you want it completely private or with a handful of your favorite people, we’ll build a plan that honors your relationships and keeps the day feeling intentional.

Most couples book 6–12 months in advance, especially for popular seasons and destinations. That said, if you’re dreaming of something sooner, reach out — sometimes the best adventures come together quickly.

Elopements are usually intimate celebrations with 25 guests or fewer, often centered around a relaxed, meaningful experience together. Weddings typically include larger groups and a more traditional timeline, with time spent celebrating alongside family and friends.
