Your greatest adventure yet
Morgan & Hunter,
It was so lovely to chat with you about your micro wedding! You’ll be getting married in a beautiful glass chapel by the sea (fun fact: I looked into Capella for my own wedding!). It’s most important to you that you can be in the moment, surrounded by your nearest and dearest in a place that means so much to both of you.
psssst… this is best viewed on your desktop.
From the moment we booked Ayla, we knew we had made the best decision.
“She was so communicative from the start, ensuring every detail was planned and that we felt completely at ease throughout the process. She captured every fleeting moment and detail so beautifully that we can’t stop looking at the photos. Ayla didn't just document our day; she brought it to life in the most beautiful way possible.”
— Jack and Gina
what’s included in every collection… and why
Film Photography
In the seven years I have shot film, it has never failed to fill me with wonder. Film is about slowing down, the accidental magic. I photograph your wedding on digital and a mix of 35mm, medium format, and polaroid film (or full film, if requested). My digital work is hand-edited with film emulation profiles for the full hybrid experience. You can expect between 25-40% of your final gallery to be on film.
Bespoke Location & Planning Guidance
In love with the idea of an Oregon Coast elopement but not sure how to actually do it? You’re not alone. I’ve helped dozens of couples create their dream elopements, often in remote places. I spent ten years hiking, camping, and road-tripping all over southern Oregon and got married myself on the coast last fall! You’ll receive experienced and well-researched location recommendations tailored to your vision, guidance on necessary permits, and a 50 page planning guide filled with my favorite tips, tricks, info, and inspo.
Inclusive Pricing
Your dream of a southern Oregon Coast wedding can quickly become an avalanche of nickels and dimes from vendor travel fees and upsells, most of whom will be located in Portland. My business won’t be one of them. Travel, lodging, and film is included in one flat rate. It’s important to me that my pricing is all-inclusive, and that the very few add-ons you may choose are discounted as a thank you.
Quick Delivery Turnaround Times
When you chose to celebrate your marriage with an elopement rather than a big, traditional wedding, that meant sacrificing the presence of a lot of folks you know and love — aunts, uncles, cousins, high school friends, college friends, elderly grandparents, etc. I turn around your sneak peeks in 24-48 hours and your final gallery delivery in one month to make sure you can share your elopement with the folks you love, even if they weren’t able to be with you on the day.

Collections and pricing
OPTION ONE
My number one consideration when recommending a collection for you is No Rushing. No Rushing = allowing space for moments to happen organically, no stress, no even thinking about the clock, just about what's unfolding in front of you. This 6 hour collection lets us take our time with some getting ready, keeps us present through your ceremony and reception, and gives us room to wander the coastline for some portraits.

These two videos are some of my favorites that we have shot, and a wonderful example of what a documentary-style wedding video can feel like! One is on super 8 and one is on camcorder so you can get a feel for both mediums as well.
We truly could not have asked for a more thoughtful, talented, and kind person to capture our day.
From the first time we spoke, Ayla was so helpful and knowledgeable. It felt like every concern was resolved before we could even begin to get stressed about them. We were able to focus on just enjoying the day and she really helped us embrace the excitement & beauty in a rainy wedding day.
She made everyone feel so comfortable, both hanging with her and in front of the camera. She felt like a close friend celebrating with us more than a hired photographer. Every tiny, intimate moment was caught so beautifully, looking at them makes us feel like we are right back in that moment.

My Process
-
Once you’ve reviewed this proposal and selected your package, I’ll send over a contract with payment information. $1700 is due upon signing, and the remainder will be due 6 weeks prior to your wedding day. The remainder can be lump sum or split into payments.
-
You’ll receive your elopement or micro wedding planning guide as soon as you’re booked! Happy reviewing!
If you don’t have your location already, I’ll create a personalized location list for you. I’ll be on standby for assistance with any necessary permits. 4 weeks out from your elopement, we’ll create a loose photo timeline and schedule of events.
-
It’s your elopement day! I’ll be watching out for every special moment so the two of you can enjoy the day. I deliver a preview gallery on digital and polaroid within 48 hours of your day.
-
One month after your elopement day, your photos and video will be ready in a beautiful gallery attached to a print shop. As a wedding gift, I tuck a print coupon into your gallery.
Need help with prints or albums? I’ll be available to walk you through print types, orders, and more.
