ditch the rules. keep the meaning. bring the dog
Wyoming + Utah Elopement Photographer
Maybe that means hiking to your vows at Corona Arch with your dog along for the adventure, and starting the day slow. Or picture the Tetons towering in the distance as you exchange rings or share a quiet slow dance, completely wrapped up in each other. No pressure, no rigid timelines. Just a slow morning, wandering together, soaking it all in. No worrying about centerpieces, seating charts, or whether everything made it to the venue. The only thing on your mind is each other… and maybe what to order for dinner.
If a traditional wedding doesn’t feel right, you’re not wrong for feeling that way. Your day can be meaningful without the pressure. I’m here to help you plan it your way — and capture it naturally, without forcing a thing.
What if you let go of expectations and planned the day you actually want?
I’ve spent 7 years photographing weddings, and along the way I’ve learned what really matters: connection, adventure, and moments that feel like you.
I love helping couples create celebrations that are completely their own — whether that’s hiking to a stunning overlook, climbing rocks for the perfect view, wandering through quiet forests with your dog, or grabbing drinks at a local brewery. As a dog mom, I get how important it is to have your fur baby with you, not someone you’re meeting for the first time.
That’s why I help you skip the awkward first meetings, let go of the stress, and design a day that feels effortless, real, and completely yours. A day where your only job is being in love, having fun, and enjoying every moment. I’ll be with you every step of the way.
Photographer, location scout, and hype woman for couples who want more meaning and less pressure.

"the only bad part is that you will have too many amazing pictures to choose from!"
On the day of, her energy was exactly what we needed—she is a fantastic cheerleader and made us feel so comfortable. The final photos are breathtaking and captured the true spirit of our wedding, including all the laughs and the beautiful scenery. If you want an stress-free day and photos you’ll cherish forever, Mandie is the one to call!

"Working with Mandie for our elopement in Moab was an incredible experience. She brought a level of organization and composure to the planning process that made everything feel effortless and fun. "
"Mandie is the absolute best photographer we have ever worked with! My husband and I have been through many photographers through our relationship and none of them have been as fantastic as Mandie! She amazing at what she does behind the lens. We were SO lucky to have found her just a few months before our wedding and had the honor of having her be our wedding photographer! I will forever be choosing her to photograph any milestones in our family from now on! Nothing but positives to say about Mandie! Much much much love!"

"Mandie is the sweetest soul and takes her time to get to know you and not just be your photographer but to be your friend too!"
"She is the BEST hype person and does an amazing job getting you comfortable in front of the camera. It was so important to us that photos from our wedding day authentically captured us- laughing and having fun. Mandie came ready to make that happen."
I can not recommend Mandie enough to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. From the very beginning, Mandie answered every question, eased each concern, and took the time to understand any hesitations I had. She was responsive, thorough, and genuinely cared about our vision for wedding photos. We met with her several times throughout the planning process and each time we left feeling calmer and more excited about the day. We knew from the start that Mandie was going to get the job done and be a lot of fun in the process.

We originally booked Mandie for engagement photos before we knew a wedding date and fell in LOVE with her skills in photography!! So much so, I immediately booked her as soon as we knew our wedding date and venue. Mandie is also a huge animal lover which was amazing because we wanted our dog, Duke, to be apart of our wedding journey. Mandie has such an amazing personality and makes taking photos such a fun and natural experience. She is truly on board for any fun ideas or photo ops that are on your mind for your photos! I truly highly recommend booking with Mandie!!

- Matt + Madison
"We got married in October and our guests still talk about how wonderful, polite, talented, and hands on Mandie was! If I could give her 10 stars I would!!"
"Amanda is one of my clients and I couldn’t think of anyone else to ask to be my photographer for my special day! She got our pictures back in perfect timing! She also was great at communicating, planning and her pricing was absolutely perfect. My pictures were magically and I would recommend her to anyone! 10/10!!!"
- Savannah + Skip
"Mandie did my engagement pictures and my wedding pictures- both felt like just a hangout with a girlfriend. So comfortable and so relaxing full of laughs and good talks!"
"I had never had professional photos taken before and Mandie made everything seamless."
Mandi was absolutely my favorite vendor for the big day! I appreciated how easy she made being photographed feel and they came out beautifully, a true artist! Mandi also graciously agreed to do my wedding on short notice (we booked probably about a month out). You can tell she loves her job and she creates truly beautiful photos!
