I'm Amber, a wedding and elopement photographer based in the PNW. Photography has been my passion since I was a little girl, a way of seeing the world through creativity and curiosity. Capturing people in their most authentic moments—whether in love, celebration, or quiet connection—has always felt like magic to me. I’m an artist, a storyteller, and a chaser of that beautiful, perfect light that transforms a photograph into art. I pour my whole heart and soul into every story I document, and I truly love what I do.
With over a decade of professional experience, I’ve had the privilege of documenting love stories across Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. My journey began in fashion photography, but I found my true calling behind the lens of weddings and elopements, where artistry meets raw, honest emotion. From intimate elopements along the Oregon Coast to timeless weddings in Portland’s historic venues, I’m passionate about capturing each couple’s unique connection with a natural, candid approach.
My work exists in a place where nature, connection and emotion, modern style, and authentic storytelling intersect. Whether you’re planning an adventurous cliffside elopement or a classic celebration surrounded by family, I’m here to document every meaningful, breathtaking moment. I create a calm, fun space where you can feel completely yourselves, letting your love take center stage.

“I couldn’t imagine my elopement without Wild Elopements Photography & Amber! From the first phone call Amber was so wonderful about understanding what we wanted and helping us plan the perfect day. Amber went above and beyond helping us plan our magical day helping us with everything from flowers to letting us mail my wedding dress to her as we were flying from the east coast. When issues that day out of all our control happened, Amber was on top of making my worries disappear and continuing getting these stunning shots. I just can't recommend working with Amber enough. Beyond the impeccable experience, the proof is in these incredible photos! They are more than we could have ever expected!”
~ Laura + Doug
“Amber is truly a GEM! She is so personable, makes you feel comfortable & takes the most amazing photos! We hired Amber for our engagement session and wedding, and booked another shoot with her before our big day. Her editing style is gorgeous, she’s creative & so good at what she does. We’d 1000x over recommend Amber/Wild Elopements. We'll be forever contacting her for photography needs in the future!”
~ Kendal + David
“Amber made my photography dreams come true for our adventure session and micro wedding. I wanted photos that capture our adventurous side but also the intimacy and closeness of our relationship. I love that Amber’s style is very true to how the day actually looked, and all the colors were captured beautifully. Being in front of a camera with a stranger taking intimate photos can feel awkward, but Amber helped us to just have fun with it and made us feel so comfortable. We are NOT models, but so many people have told us our pics belong in a magazine!”
~ Rebecca + Ethan
“I cannot say enough amazing things about Amber and her professionalism. Her eye for beautiful photos is also incredible! Our wedding photos turned out even better than I could have imagined. Amber captured our vision so perfectly! She made the entire process seamless and easy. We had multiple calls to go over the vision and areas we wanted to take photos and she was always responsive if I had any specific questions. We do not live in OR so we really leaned in to Amber’s knowledge of the Cannon Beach area and she nailed it. Highly highly recommend her!!”
