explore your experience
Visual stories that pull you back into the unscripted moments—
the energy, the emotion, the way it all unfolded. No staging,
just the raw, unfiltered beauty of your day, exactly as it felt.
film that makes you feel
Photo & video for the wild(ly) in love
Montana is home, Oregon has my heart, and Utah fuels my sense of adventure—but no place is off-limits. Whether it’s a windswept coastline, a desert canyon, or a hidden mountain pass, I’ll go wherever your story takes you.
Adventure elopements are what set my soul on fire—there’s nothing like exchanging vows surrounded by the wild, untamed beauty of nature. But whether you're saying "I do" on a mountaintop or in a quiet, intimate setting, what matters most isn’t the backdrop—it’s the connection you share.
I’m here for the couples who crave something real—who aren’t afraid to ditch the expectations and embrace their story as it is. If you’re willing to be present, raw, and fully yourselves, I’m all in. Because at the end of the day, it’s not about the location—it’s about the love that brought you there.
Turning Moments Into Cinematic Films
book your adventure
The day will go by in a blur, and the last thing you should be doing is staging every moment for the camera. Forget the stiff poses and forced smiles—this is about living in the moment, feeling every second, and embracing the adventure together. I’m here to document it all—the wild, the intimate, the beautifully unscripted—so that years from now, you don’t just remember how it looked, but exactly how it felt.
Your wedding isn’t a photoshoot—it’s an experience.

At my core, I’m a storyteller for the wildly in love—capturing the messy, unscripted, real moments that make your story yours. No stiff poses. No forced perfection. Just the way it felt.
If you’re down for an adventure (and maybe a taco run), let’s make something epic together.
The most important thing about me? My dog, Penny. (Kidding… but also, not really.) If an adventure doesn’t involve her, is it even worth it?
I love Mexican food and I could truly live off tacos (I’ve definitely tested this theory), forever chasing golden hour, and happiest when I’m off the grid—whether that’s road-tripping in my van, hiking into the wild, or sitting around a campfire with good people and a camera in hand.

Whether you’re looking for timeless portraits or candid moments, we highly recommend Manda. Again her ability to make you feel relaxed while delivering stunning, high-quality images is unmatched. We are beyond grateful for the memories she helped us preserve and can’t wait to work with her again for our wedding!!"
"We had the pleasure of having Manda do our engagement photos, she truly made us feel so comfortable and at ease, which is so important when you’re in front of the camera. Her professionalism while also being lighthearted was unmatched. The attention to detail truly shines through in every shot.The photos perfectly capture the essence of our relationship, blending natural moments with the beautiful, artistic composition that she brought."
