About this vendor
Hi! My name is Emilee Setting, an elopement and intimate wedding photographer based in Bend, Oregon catering to couples who want to have a smaller experience for their wedding. If this sounds like you, congratulations, and hell yes! That means that you’re doing your wedding the best way, your way. Choosing to elope or have an intimate wedding means that you probably felt all of the stress and obligation of planning a traditional big day go out the window. So what now? How do we turn this beautiful idea into a real, tangible experience? That’s where I come in. I grew up planning trips near and far, and always yearning for new experiences. Now, I get to help couples do the same, I help you curate your elopement timeline, location plan, and capture everything so you can have the greatest elopement experience ever imaginable with just the person you love. I'm more than a photographer, I'm your planning guide and friend. My goal is to help couples get what they really want, take the path less traveled, and have the adventure of a lifetime. If you're interested in having your own intimate wedding or elopement, let's chat! I want to know all about you and your partner, your ideas, and how I can help you bring your wedding vision to life.

My partner and I last minute decided to elope given many circumstances- we are so happy she was able to catch us immediately afterwards! And in the snow! We are so full of love and...
she truly found a way to capture it, and us just as we are together. I will cherish these photos forever, and I am so glad we invested in her. She is professional, friendly, and so great at putting you at ease- even if you have never been behind a camera before. I will recommend her to anyone.
Emilee is amazing at what she does. The genuineness she has and the comfort she gives off made the shoot so carefree and natural. She is great with giving directions for posing whi...
le still emphasizing how she wants you to do whatever feels natural. She is also a wonderful “hype-man”, complimenting you and giving you confidence. It felt as if a friend was taking our photos. I highly recommend this very talented lady.
Emilee was great! Right from the beginning she was a perfect fit for my husband and I. We met up before the wedding and she was very helpful with helping us plan (we weren’t the mo...
st prepared). She got many pictures and she has awesome editing. She was very flexible the day of the wedding and remained patient when things were super hectic. I would hire her again. Her dog is super cute too.
Working with Emilee for our elopement at Mount Rainier was amazing!
Her responses were always prompt and she actually helped me narrow down the locations we wanted to visit and g...
et pictures of. She was extremely flexible with our schedule and she was a joy to be around.
The photos themselves are outstanding! I am so unbelievably happy with how they turned out. Emilee is extremely talented and I highly recommend her.
My husband & I found Emilee & she got right back to us. We had our introductory phone consultation that consisted of constant laughter & bonding. The day of our wedding she was rea...
dy to rock 'n roll, super helpful managing family members that aren't too fond of each other, & made us feel very comfortable (which is saying something because i'm normally extremely camera shy). She had our gallery back to us in days so we could reminisce on our special day. Emilee was super helpful with helping us pick out pictures for prints with the sizing & cropping of the images. She a wonderful person & I would recommend her to anyone who's looking to have their picture taken. Wedding or not shes the person you want behind the camera.
Emilee is seriously the best ever. My husband and I never really saw ourselves as good “picture people.” So the whole aspect of getting a photographer and having our picture taken ...
felt a little nerve-wracking. We were originally drawn to Emilee because her photos were so dreamy that they blew us away, I spent so much time looking at her website and wondering if I could even look that way. When we had our consultation with her she was SO friendly, we talked a ton and it felt she genuinely wanted to get to know us, she also was so helpful and answered all of my questions before I even asked. After speaking with he for the first time I knew I wanted to book her. I still didn’t quite expect to find myself in awe over my own photos the way I am. She really did it, she captured every moment just how it felt, captured my friends and family and the scenery beautifully and made us all so comfortable. The photos are absolutely magical. She said she wanted the photos to feel unique to us and they really do. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs photography work done!
I can’t say enough nice things about Emilee! She did our engagement photography last year and just did wedding photos of us in our recent elopement. She was super flexible (I think...
we changed plans 3 times...?) and so dedicated to making our wedding happen, despite COVID, wildfires, and working around intermittent rainfall at the coast. Then there’s the photos! Such beautiful work, I am getting tons of compliments from family and friends. Emilee took amazing shots of us during our ceremony as well as afterward on the beach. Her prices are incredibly affordable and probably the best value one could find. I hope to hire her again for another photo shoot in the future. ❤️
