ADVENTUROUS ELOPEMENTS FOR WILD HEARTS AND EPIC LOVE STORIES

An Adventure Elopement and Micro Wedding Photographer.

so, you want to celebrate your love, your way?

YASS!

I couldn’t agree more!

You're ditching the expectations, skipping the stress, and choosing a celebration that puts your love and your story front and center.

Endless possibilities await you!

BUT, here's the catch: with endless possibilities come endless decisions. - What are the best scenic locations for eloping in the PNW? How do we go about getting permits? How do we include adventure activities into our day? How do we include family and friends?

Now, you have even more choices to make than you would at a traditional wedding.

It’s normal to feel overwhelmed by all the options and unsure where to start.

But don’t worry—you’ve come to the right place!

Miranda 

I’m all about exploring new places, off-roading to hidden gems, and finding that perfectly imperfect spot for your epic elopement. After years with the Forest Service, I come prepared—with maps, snacks, and everything you didn’t think to pack (because yes, hangry is real!).

You’re not just here for pretty photos. You want the kind of wild, unforgettable experience that might mean hiking at 3 AM to catch sunrise vows, snowmobiling to a frozen lake, or soaking in golden desert light as you say “I do.”

Wherever your hearts are leading you—from secret meadows to alpine lakes—I’ll help you get there and make it magic.

I’m here for it all!

Planning your elopement doesn’t have to be stressful. I will help you through the ENTIRE planning process.

It will be as easy as…

  1.   

Submit my contact form and schedule an intro consultation phone call to see if we might be creative soul mates.

  2.   

If you're ready to book (YAY!), sign your contract and pay the 30% retainer to hold your date.

  3.   

Pick out wedding attire and book accommodations. I will help curate the timeline, and activities & scout locations for the most stress-free wedding day!

  4.   

HAVE THE GREATEST ADVENTURE OF YOUR LIVES. Passing down this day through beautiful photos for generations to come.

“Miranda Corwin is one of the most professional photographers I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. She made us feel so comfortable and took the most beautiful candid photos of our wedding, before, during and after. We had a very small non conventional wedding in the mountains, during winter, 6 mile trek in, and she was super game for making the trek up and photographing our super special day.

Her communication before our wedding, during and afterwards was also amazing and her dedication with delivering beautiful photos in a timely fashion was fantastic. She even sent us quite a few sneak peaks the day after the wedding! Her skills and knowledge in photography and ability to communicate in a fun and easy manner during the event made us feel at ease throughout the whole day.

I would highly recommend hiring Miranda for any wedding, event or portraits. And look forward to working with her again some day!”

“We did a last minute covid elopement in May and Miranda gave us wonderful pictures to last us a lifetime. She was easy to communicate with ahead of time, flexible with the ever evolving place and schedule and had great ideas of images to capture. She was fun and engaging and we hiked all around the park for the best pics! In the end we got a lovely package of wedding photos that we cherish! Highly recommend Miranda!”

- Johana & Asa

I specialize in intimate outdoor Oregon elopements and micro weddings, capturing the kind of fleeting, emotional moments that become lifelong memories—photos that take you right back to how it felt.

It’s All About

The in-between Moments

How It All Works

  • Once you send an inquiry, you can automatically schedule a 30 minute zoom call with me. Here, we can chat about your vision and get to know each other a little bit and see if its a good fit. If you decide to move forward with booking (YAY!) I will send over a contract and invoice where you can make a secure payment online.

    I require a 30% deposit to secure your date. Once I receive a deposit we can move forward with all the fun stuff!

  • Where the fun begins!

    After our initial phone call. I will send out questionnaires and guides to make sure I curate the best day possible for you and that you are equally prepared. I will listen to your vision and offer any recommendations or advice when wanted.

    Depending on your package, we can then start building a timeline for the BIG DAY!

    This is where we can really get to know each other so by the time I am the third wheel on your wedding day it wont feel like you are meeting me for the first time.

    After many emails, phone calls or in-person meetings or zooms, we will have came up with the ULTIMATE ELOPEMENT that you and your partner have envisioned along with a plan B, and maybe C, D, E just incase.

    Finding the perfect location is key to creating stunning photos. Whether its a secluded beach, a majestic mountain peak, or a hidden gem you know, I will work with you to find a location that reflects your love and vision.

  • THE DAY IS HERE!

    I ALWAYS feel so lucky be part of such a special day in your life and document all the emotions you felt that day. I will be there from the intimate glances to the heartfelt embraces, I will guide you through natural, authentic poses that truly capture YOUR love story. I will be there for all the in-between moments that are often missed, ensuring that every memory is preserved.

    Above all, I want you and your partner to feel that this day is just for the two of you. I am here to capture your love story, your way. My goal is to make you feel relaxed, comfortable, and free to be yourselves, so that your photos reflect the true essence of your relationship.

    I will keep track of time and worry about logistics so you don’t have to worry about anything else besides marrying your best-friend!

  • You will receive a sneak peek within 48 hours and receive your online gallery of full resolution edited images within 4-6 weeks depending the season.

    You can view, download, and order prints, wall art, and cards straight from your online gallery. I believe my service is not done until prints are hung on your wall to love and relive every day (THE BEST PART!)

    So next step is setting up one more zoom meeting to go over your favorite photos and create a memory album and or order prints!

Ask Away!
  • In both Oregon & Washington, go to any County Clerk’s Office in the state you wish to get married in and ask for a marriage license. The fee is $50-$75, depending on the county.  There is a 3-day waiting period. This is important to know if you’re traveling. You must have 2 witnesses and have someone be ordained. (I can help with both of these!)

  • Eloping is all about making it uniquely yours! Whether it’s an epic adventure, a cozy cabin getaway, a quiet moment in nature, or incorporating personal traditions. I’ll help craft a day that feels meaningful while the two of you embrace your love for each other, saying “I-do” forever.

  • I always have a backup plan! Whether it’s finding a sheltered location, adjusting the timing, or embracing the adventure of unexpected weather, I’ll help ensure your day stays magical. I also block out buffer days on either side just for this reason. Also a good idea when booking accommodations.

  • YES!

    I am a homegrown Oregon girly so depending on the time of year, where you are located, and how far you want to travel I have MANY different locations all over the entire state of Oregon I can recommend. Being a PNW native and 12 years in the high desert, I have scouted all the best spots! So depending on what resonates with you the most, I will always have a great location in mind.

  • Absolutely! Elopements can be just the two of you or include a small, intimate group of loved ones. You can also involve family and friends by sharing a live stream or creating a special celebration later.

    I do groups of 50 and smaller. Be aware that logistics get more difficult the larger the group (bathrooms, restrooms, parking etc.) and some parks limit group size or require permits for this.

  • Head over to my contact page HERE

    Fill out my inquiry form. I normally reply within 24 hours if I am not traveling. I will send you a link to schedule a consultation phone call when it is convenient for you. Here we can get to know each other a bit more and see if we will be a good fit and go from there!

  • Say 'I-do' with misty ocean cliffs behind you at the Oregon Coast?

  • Toasting to the sanctity of marriage with a waterfall backdrop in the Columbia River Gorge?

  • Exchanging vows beneath a canopy of towering evergreens in an old-growth forest?

  • Say forever with Mt. Hood towering behind you, its snow-capped peak glowing in the soft alpenglow, perfectly reflected in a crystal-clear alpine lake as you celebrate your love.
