I love to catch those beautiful, quiet moments, as well as the fun, silly in-between moments that make you, you.

Whether you want your story focused on the candid moments or a more editorial style, dark & moody vibes or embracing all those gorgeous colors, or maybe a mixture of all of the above.

This is where your adventure begins.

FOR THE UNTAMED

Boudoir

There aren’t enough words to even begin to describe how amazing Amber is. I hired her originally just for photography, but when I had a hair & make up travesty she reassured me that was too a make up artist and though hair wasn’t her strong point that she would be there for me if I need her to.

I am a very reserved, closed off person, but her open personality made me instantly comfortable. We were able to talk about life past present and future. She really listened to me and even was able to give me advice and motivational guidance.

I’m grateful rain wasn’t in our forecast, but being near the water meant wind and it was FREEZING, but that didn’t stop her from taking AMAZING photos. I wanted mood and she gave me BEAUTIFUL elegant mood.
Just my sneak peek brought me to tears, I can not wait to see the final pictures. You will regret it if you don’t hire her y’all. Will 100% hire for future photography!

"You will regret not hiring her, y’all.

100% hiring again!"

Cassidy + TJ 

Amber is an exceptional photographer to collaborate with. She’s genuinely kind, sweet, and has phenomenal communication skills. Looking back at our wedding photos, she truly captures the best moments of people—laughing, smiling, enjoying themselves and the love felt in those special moments. It’s a magical thing to capture. We’re so pleased with the photos she’s taken for us.

We’ve had the pleasure of working with her three times! Although we now live in Texas, we make it a point to visit the coast every summer and hire Amber to capture our family photos. It’s been an incredible experience to have a photographer document our growing family over the years. I genuinely hope she can continue to capture cherished memories for us.

The contracts are straightforward and hassle-free, making the process a breeze. During sessions, she creates a comfortable atmosphere, offers valuable pose suggestions, and ensures that you get the perfect shots you desire. Her punctuality is exceptional, ensuring that you don’t have to wait excessively for your photos.”

I highly recommend Amber at Wild Elopements Photography to anyone needing engagement photos, wedding photography, and more.

When I stumbled upon Amber's Instagram, I loved her natural colors and airy aesthetic - but when we talked over the phone for the first time to discuss details, that is when I definitely knew I had made the best decision in hiring her for our wedding.

Amber had so many ideas, and continually kept me excited about the wedding! When our wedding day arrived, she fit so seamlessly into our group of family and friends and was such a huge help throughout the entire day.

She was at our wedding for 10 hours (can you say superwoman!?), and captured every part of our big day perfectly. We just got our sneak-peak recently and we are over the moon.... these memories we have captured now forever absolutely blew us away. I am so grateful that Amber was a part of our wedding, and that we now get to call her a friend!

We love Amber! She can capture exactly what your picturing in your heart! And more!

We were so overwhelmed by her generosity and the care she took with our photos and time. You can really tell she is passionate about what she does and it really shows in her work.

We also had to improvise a few spots since we got married during a stressful time, she made us feel confident with how our photos would turn out regardless and our trust was well placed.

The most amazing professional experience we could’ve hoped for for our wedding.
She literally made magic happen!

"We love Amber! She can capture exactly what you're picturing in your heart! And more!"

Mia + Sean

A wild-hearted mama and wedding photographer who believes in bare feet, authentic moments, and coffee-fueled adventures. Growing up in the Pacific Northwest shaped my soul - from creek explorations to bridge-jumping into hidden lakes. For over a decade, I've been capturing love stories that feel as natural as the landscapes that raised me.

My purpose? To preserve those real, unscripted moments that make your heart race. Whether it's a stolen glance during your vows or laughter echoing through ancient forests, I'm here to tell your unique story exactly as it feels. Because your love deserves to be captured in its truest, most beautiful form.

I am an adventure seeker, storyteller, and a heart centered soul with a sarcastic streak!
