My name is Aimee!
So you are getting married (Yay!), and I want you to have a wedding day that feels like you.
I photograph elopements and intimate weddings with an adventurous spirit, and I want to help couples elope in a way that is authentic to you and your relationship. Why settle for a traditional wedding where the focus can shift to others needs, or details that don’t really matter, when you can plan an epic celebration for the two of you in nature.
When photographing an elopement, I love the idea of capturing the excitement and joy you are feeling while doing different activities, but I also love the idea of having time throughout the day to create some really killer images, to just slow down, and let the you enjoy one another and your surroundings.
I deeply care about you and your experience.
I am easy going, and consider myself a fast friend. I am also your biggest cheerleader.
As a lover of Love, adventure, and the outdoors, I feel like I hit the career Jackpot being able to photograph elopements and intimate weddings. I get to document the coolest couples, doing the activities they love, in amazing locations, while they say I DO. Is there anything better?
When I am not photographing weddings, you will probably find me running trails (I have actually run a couple 50 milers), paddle boarding, cross country skiing, drinking coffee, growing killer veggies, or snuggling with my cat Steve.
“If you’re wondering whether you should even get married, the chance to work with Aimee is reason enough to say yes.”
If you’re wondering whether you should even get married, the chance to work with Aimee is reason enough to say yes. Her smile and laugh will make you smile and laugh. Her adventurous and down to earth spirit will make you feel comfortable and relaxed, even on the most chaotic day. I met Aimee in Pennsylvania, but I live in Colorado with my husband now. When it came time to choose a photographer for our wedding, I couldn’t even imagine having anyone besides Aimee there for the ride. She flew all the way here and was game for a wild west adventure. The hour we spent zooming around dirt roads (with Aimee at the wheel!) looking for the perfect mountain shot before the ceremony is one of my favorite memories of our whole wedding. Plus, the photos turned out better than I could have imagined! Can we do it all again?
“Aimee is truly the best!”
Aimee is truly the best! She worked with us to put together a plan for our wedding photography that fit exactly what we envisioned. From an engagement session at a campsite to a tree planting the morning after the wedding, Aimee helped us check off every wish list item we hoped for. As an LGBTQ+ couple, we felt very accepted and welcomed by Aimee. She was very responsive and communicative throughout the process. And the photos were perfect! We highly recommend hiring Aimee!
“Aimee & Please Don’t Blink is the BEST decision we made, other than to marry each other. We love you, Aimee!!!”
To say that we love and adore Aimee is an understatement. She is the first vendor we booked after our venue and she set the tone for everything. Neither my husband nor I are super comfortable hamming or posing for a camera, which is why we chose Aimee and her fun candid style. But with that, we got a photographer who was effortlessly chill, so accommodating, good at what she does, and truly fun. I get tons of compliments on our engagement and wedding photos. I simply enjoy having her around and hope she’ll let me buy her a drink sometime. Aimee & Please Don’t Blink is the BEST decision we made, other than to marry each other. We love you, Aimee!!!
What is an Elopement?
and why you should choose it
(and why it does not have to mean that you runaway and secretly get married,anymore)
The beauty of an elopement, is that there are no rules. You can choose to do whatever makes you happy, whatever feels most like you. It can mean vows exchanged between just you and your partner at the top of a mountain at sunset, or it could include a celebration with your immediate family or friends. It can be a day of adventuring, or a slow morning at your favorite coffee shop followed by some epic kayaking . You get to decide. Instead of putting the focus on things that don’t really matter, like wedding favors, and seating charts, you can plan an elopement that focuses on your love and love of adventure. Dream big!
A Documentary Style Photographer
One of my strengths as a photographer is anticipating and documenting moments as they happen. I want your photos to represent the way the day felt, and to capture both the big moments and the small sweet gestures.
A Fast Friend That Melts Into the Day
Prepare to be “fast friends”
If you have met me, you know I am easy going. I love to laugh ( and make others laugh), and I care deeply about my couples. I have a way of blending into a wedding day, that makes you comfortable, and allows me to photograph you being you.
I always tell couples, trust me, we will become fast friends.
Help Along the Way
Planning your wedding can be overwhelming, especially if this is your first time. I try to do my part to make everything as easy as possible throughout the entire process, like helping with permits, creating timelines, and choosing the perfect location and activities. You can feel comfortable contacting me about anything photo related…or anything at all really.
Sneak Peeks
Your wedding is over, and now you cannot wait to see your photos. I have you covered. I like to send my couples a few images from their wedding within 24-48 hours.
Gallery Delivery
I believe these photos are yours to enjoy, so you will receive a Hi-Res gallery of all of the edited images to share with your friends and family. From this gallery you can view, download, and print photos.
Timeline Creation
I will help you create a wedding day timeline, to ensure your day is fun and stress free. By planning and preparing for any unforeseen circumstances, I can make sure you get to live in the moment, and take in all of the magic of your elopement day.
Travel Included
All of my packages include travel. That is one less thing you have to worry about.
Preparedness
Flexible, but with a plan. I consider myself to be a flexible person, but I like to have a plan on your wedding day. That means, I like to scout ahead of time, and have an idea of what locations we want to hit and when, but I am also happy to pivot if we see something even more amazing along the way.
