  • Serves Bay City, OR

I’m Jackie—traveler at heart, ocean-obsessed, and currently DIY-ing a little house by the sea (paint in my hair is pretty common). I’ve been in a long-distance relationship with a Canadian for 13 years, which has taught me a lot about communication, patience, and showing up with intention. I prioritize presence in the everyday sense of slowing down and being where my feet are. I’m always chasing a life that feels grounded, intentional, and fully lived. And I seek that same vibe in the work I create with you!

We can't say enough great things about Jackie!! She was so helpful throughout our elopement planning and checked in frequently. On the day of, she brought such a calm, positive energy. She made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, captured every meaningful detail, and somehow balanced being both a fun presence and a quiet observer for the most intimate moments. The photos are absolutely stunning and perfectly reflect the emotion and beauty of the day. We're so grateful for her talent and warmth!

Imagine Elopements Photography

  • Serves Bay City, OR

Imagine a wedding day that feels like stepping into your favorite storyline —intimate, magical, and unapologetically yours. I help craft experiences for couples who value creativity, intentionality, and a touch of wonder. My photography is a blend of both documentary and editorial, combined in such a way that feels authentic and timeless. From windswept vows on a mountaintop to quiet toasts in a mossy forest. Based in Oregon, I specialize in elopements that celebrate your individuality and sentimental parts of your story. Let’s create some truly magical photographs—together.

We asked a lot of Mia - a sunrise shoot in the mountains. She was super accommodating and didn't complain one bit when we bushwhacked our way up a shrub-filled mountain. She was great at helping us pose while staying natural, and we think the photos speak for themselves in terms of quality. We would highly recommend working with Imagine Elopements for any kind of photo event, but especially for adventurous couples looking for someone not afraid of getting a little messy!

We’re Hunter and Lindsey Wickert— a husband-and-wife photography team based in Vancouver, Washington, serving couples across the Pacific Northwest. Our goal is simple: create photographs that feel like your memories. From the shoreline near Haystack Rock in Cannon Beach to snowy trails at the base of Mount St. Helens, forest aisles, and golden fall family sessions, we chase real moments, movement, and connection. We want you to look back and feel it all again— the nerves, the joy, the laughter, and the quiet in-between. Artful, natural, and deeply personal— your story, exactly as it unfolded.

Awarded Best of Zola
Lindsey and Hunter captured all of the moments of our elopement with so much care and attention to detail! We had a special request to include our cat (in his tuxedo of course) and although he didn't want to cooperate, they managed to take the most perfect family portraits we could have asked for. The candid photos leading up to and after our ceremony are so special to us now. It allowed us to see the little stolen looks between each other that we may have missed throughout the day. Our preview pictures were ready right away, and the entire gallery was prepared not long after. There are so many incredible pictures that we want to frame and show off to everyone! They exceeded all of our expectations and I highly recommend them!

Hi friend!! I'm Karmen. I believe love deserves to be documented with intention, honesty, and care. The kind that feels cinematic but real. Elevated but effortless. I believe your wedding day should feel like you, not a production performed for the camera. The most meaningful images live in the in between. Quiet nerves before the ceremony, hands finding each other without thinking, laughter that spills out when the timeline pauses. Your photos are never about perfection. They are about presence. Thoughtfully guided when needed, and quietly observed when the moment belongs to you.

Oregon Coast based. I love creating a full experience for my couples, and really developing a friendship so we can make your day truly you! Yes, I’ll be dancing at your wedding. I started my business after an incredibly hard personal loss because photos became a huge part of my grief journey. I love capturing the raw and real moments, the ones you look back on and wish you could have forever. Photos are timeless and I love creating small forever moments in time. I care deeply for my clients! If you’re ready to get barefoot, maybe a little messy and live in the moment I’m the photographer for you!

I can't express enough how happy we were to have Renee. She just so happened to be in town the weekend of our wedding so we didn't even have to pay a travel fee which she never had to do! She was a breath of fresh air in actually feeling like she was appreciative to be our photographer. After a long period of planning I was starting to feel like vendors were acting like they could care less to be selected and Renee was COMPLETELY the opposite. She sent us the sweetest personal touches and dug through all her photos to show me examples of photos that really mattered to me. I wanted more candid photos and she did not disappoint. Even when going through a lot in her personal life, she was there 100% on our day which was so amazing and I will have these photos forever to always remind me of our special day. We tried doing some phots before the ceremony and everyone wanted to come say hi or congratulations and Renee was amazing at being my personal bodyguard and keeping people at bay. She is the best!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Where do we even start? Choosing Moments by Frank was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We knew we wanted a photographer who wouldn’t just take beautiful pictures but would truly capture how the day felt—and wow, did they deliver. Looking through our photos and watching our video was emotional in the best way possible. It wasn’t just a collection of pretty moments—it was our wedding, exactly as we remembered it. The joy, the happy tears, the way our families looked at us, the little in-between moments we didn’t even realize were happening… they caught it all. It felt like stepping right back into that day, and we can’t stop looking at them. But what made the experience even better? Frank and his team felt like old friends. From the moment we inquired with him, he was so friendly and social and so easy to get along with him. On the wedding day, they blended in so seamlessly with our family and friends, making everyone feel comfortable. The last thing we wanted was to feel like we were stuck in a never-ending photoshoot, and they got that. They let the moments unfold naturally, gave just enough direction when needed, and made sure we could actually be present on our wedding day. If you’re looking for a team that’s not just talented but also genuinely amazing to be around, this is it. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Hi, I’m Melea! I’m a wedding photographer based in the Pacific Northwest. My style is soft, romantic, and moody, blending natural light with genuine emotion to tell your love story. I believe the most meaningful photos capture not just how your day looked, but how it felt from the laughter, the tears, and the quiet in-between moments. My goal is to create images that feel authentic and alive, ones you’ll treasure for years to come. It’s an honor to preserve love stories, and I’d be so grateful to capture yours.

Melea was absolutely amazing! She captured our elopement so beautifully, and I am so grateful. She was incredibly diligent with multiple pre-wedding day phone calls so we were on the same page about how we wanted the photos to come out. When the weather was looking really bad, she helped us alter our schedule and was super flexible with us. She had to drive multiple hours to get to our location, so we are especially grateful for that! She expertly photographed our first look, gave really helpful directions during our couple photos, and moved around the ceremony seamlessly to capture all the special moments. It started hailing midway through the ceremony and she was unfazed, ready to adjust as needed. The edited photos came very quickly after, as well! I highly recommend Melea — she is a gem!!!
