I'm Manda, an Montana-based elopement photographer + filmmaker with a love for wide-open spaces, spontaneous road trips, and capturing stories in their rawest form.
I’ve been drawn to photography for as long as I can remember. Paging through the box of printed disposable and film photos from my childhood was one of my favorite things. No matter how many times I had seen the photos, they still brought me immense joy—making me feel as if I were in that place all over again.
After a few years of photography, I dipped my toes into videography and discovered an even greater passion for documenting love stories. Getting to see and capture so many unique stories in such beautiful places is an actual dream come true, and I am forever grateful for each and every person who trusts me to preserve their love.
When I moved to the mountains, I was over the moon taking photos of everything I could; the beauty of the landscape was just too incredible not to document. Soon, I began combining my love for both love and landscapes, and I knew this was what I was meant to do.
I thrive on adrenaline-fueled adventures—whether exploring canyons, rafting rivers, skiing powder, or dirt biking mountains. This same passion fuels my work as a storyteller. Your love story is an epic adventure of its own. No adventure is too big or too small—whether it’s an intimate moment or a grand celebration, I’m ready to follow your story wherever it leads, documenting every step of your unique journey together.
