My husband and I knew we wanted a low-key adventure elopement in some of our favorite mountains, but above all wanted a day that was intentional, private, and stress-free. I worried that our idea of an adventure wedding wasn't "cool" enough - especially while looking at all the elopement options! All roads led back to Aimee though - not just because of her beautiful portfolio, or warm and wonderful personality that shines through the screen, but her EARNEST and heartfelt dedication to the mentality of "do what makes YOU stoked," that the only thing that matters is what makes YOU as couple truly happy, whatever that looks like. Reaching out and getting a call with her was the start of something magical.

From the MINUTE my husband and I started talking with Aimee, it felt so EASY - like catching up with an old friend even though we'd never met. She understood our hopes for the day and vision perfectly, and went above and beyond to make it a reality. Where we had rough ideas, Aimee had specific ideas for spots to explore. Where we felt stuck on obstacles, Aimee thought outside the box and solved them. When we had major changes in our plans leading up to the big day that brought unexpected stress, Aimee was incredibly compassionate and made us feel so genuinely cared for - no matter what, the joy for making the day wonderful stayed bright and true.

Aimee literally took all the stress out of the planning with her incredible wealth of expertise, knowledge, and positive outlook. No matter what happened, we knew the day would be excellent because Aimee has built and EARNED that trust - and oh my gosh, the DAY!!!

Looking back on our actual wedding day, the best thing I can say is how much we just wish we could do it all over again. My husband and I are NOT morning people, and right from the start of the day our getting-ready time on the mountainside was slower than we planned - but true to everything we'd talked about, Aimee reassured us that we had plenty of time, things were flexible, and that she'd make sure we wouldn't get too far off track so we could still do everything we wanted to. I never dreamed that my wedding day would start with talking about nerd culture and comic conventions (some of my favorite things) with my photographer in the freezing cold, and I am SO GLAD I can say that it did! On top of all the above, Aimee is just a really cool and fun person!!

Throughout our entire day, Aimee cut the perfect balance of engaging with us for photos when we did something sweet, while also giving us plenty of space and quiet to soak in the moment and spend dedicated time with each other. Her candid, journalistic style is bar-none; we have been blown away by how well she captured emotions in tiny moments we didn't even realize were happening. Being able to have a first look, private vows, a small ceremony, a first dance, AND hiking and adventuring all in the woods was quite simply a dream come true! The day is, in my opinion, best summed up by when a perfect ray of sun showed up along the path in the woods, and we all looked at each other and said "we can do this!" - and everyone ran as fast as we could to catch the light before it faded, laughing the entire way. THAT is the kind of spontaneous, wonderful magic that Aimee not only leaves room for, but makes happen by having fun WITH you!

The photos we received so soon after our magical day (Aimee really goes above and beyond, y'all!), and have been awestruck ever since. Aimee's experience crafting a perfect day mattered just as much to us about having wonderful photo memories, but holy wow -- these are truly the most gorgeous works of art we could have ever hoped for from our day. Everyone we share them with agrees that they radiate the joy and wonder that we were truly feeling at the time, because that's what Aimee does best, is capturing the feelings that matter and that you'll always cherish.

If you have ANY hesitation, don't - this is your sign. Aimee is simply the best, all around, and we have been so, so lucky to spend our best day ever with her!

Aimee is fantastic. She will create your one-of-a-kind elopement day. She is so passionate about what she does, and you can tell this is what she is meant to do. An elopement is an intimate decision, and she will help create the day that is right for you and your spouse. She took our vision and created this magical day that we will remember forever. Meeting her was like meeting and hanging out with a friend all day. Definitely, definitely, recommend an elopement, but not just any elopement, choose Aimee!

If you are on the fence, do it! If you have any tickle to elope, do it! But make sure you make Aimée apart of your journey!!

When booking with Aimée Flynn Photo we knew we wanted two things: epic landscapes and our relationship captured authentically. She TRULY knocked it out of the park! We are blown away and stunned by the truly remarkable love story she created that not only embraces our relationship at its core but seamlessly moves along in its journey.

We emphasized in the beginning of our sessions how beautiful and mesmerizing her astrophotography was to us. Her love and passion for space, nature, and overall cool happenings led us to capturing insanely beautiful images of the northern lights in southern Utah.

Throughout the process of preparing for our elopement, Aimée kept us organized and helped us find local vendors and such as we were not local to the area. She was attentive and answered all our questions and helped to make every vision come to life!

Aimée from the bottom of our heart we are truly thankful for everything you have done to help make our day so special! Our sneak peeks truly shows a glimpse into the love that we share for one another and couldn’t have done this without your awesomeness!

If I had to simply describe what makes her imagery so amazing I’d say this: Tiny people, epic landscapes, and endless romance!

Where to begin?… let me start with advice to you. Book her. Book Aimee right now. Do not wait a second longer. You will not regret it. From the very beginning of planning our elopement, Aimee was amazing. She made the whole process seamless and so that it never felt overwhelming. She spent time getting to know us and what was important to us. In the week before our date when weather seamed it might not cooperate, she was all over it. We never felt like we needed to problem solve anything. Aimee switched things around a bit, and oh man can I say it was incredible. All her hard work translated into an elopement that was truly magical and one of our greatest adventures together. Not only did we have a day that felt like “us”, but we had a day that are so memorable in every way possible. If we could relive it all a thousand times we would still want to relive it more. Never once did we feel uncomfortable being photographed. We were consumed by every moment in the most delightful way. Aimee was our photographer, local guide, day of event planner keeping things on schedule so we didn’t have to, and our biggest fan. The photos we have received in our preview are absolutely out of this world stunning. The day she gave us is more than we could have dreamed of and we are so thankful to her. We are left in awe by the pure magic of the day in every way possible.

Update 6/2/24
It’s been three weeks since getting our full gallery. We are in disbelief over them. It’s been impossible trying to decide what to print they are all so amazing. Everyone we have shown has said they are the most incredible and beautiful wedding photos they have ever seen. Simply cannot say enough wonderful things about Aimée!

We tied the knot in Yosemite National Park last October and Aimee made it more special than we could have ever imagined. Her photography is incredible, her pictures surpassed our wildest expectations and we’ve lost count of the number of our friends and family who’ve said they’re the best wedding photos they’ve ever seen.

Aimee also made the day itself a really special experience. She went above and beyond by scouting the locations in advance and her attention to detail was clear in how smoothly the day flowed. We are incredibly grateful for her dedication and meticulous planning. We had to change our wedding date quite late in the day, Aimee not only accommodated the change but did so with genuine care and support.

Aimee is not only immensely talented but also incredibly kind and fun to be around. Spending the day with her was an absolute joy and she is a complete pro in helping us feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera. We never felt rushed and always felt we had enough time to be in the moment, enjoy the views and explore the stunning location.

Aimee, we can’t thank you enough. Your fun spirit added an extra sparkle to our wedding adventure and the pictures will bring us joy for a lifetime.

Thanks again for everything, come visit us in Ireland soon!

I’m going to start with this first and then give some background. Worth the read for couples looking for a photographer 🙂

I 1,000% recommend Aimee to any and all couples. She’s more than an amazing photographer, she’s an asset to have on your big day for so many reasons that I’ll get into. I can’t emphasize enough over text how grateful we are that we chose her and that she was there to capture our wedding day. She creates pure magic. She captured our day in the most MAGICAL way possible. If I had a vision of how I thought our wedding day would be captured, she took that and elevated it x1000. The photos she sent us are jaw dropping. My words here aren’t doing any justice, I can’t say enough about her and her work. Full disclosure, it rained on our wedding day and was quite simply not nice out (which for me, and probably most brides, was something I didn’t want to happen, especially with an outdoor wedding). I can say with complete honesty that not only was Aimee fully prepared for any sort of weather imaginable, but she made pure art out of our day to the point where I’m glad it rained, no joke. We felt so comfortable in her hands the whole time and this woman knows what she is doing, period. I mean, she had a white cashmere shawl I didn’t know I needed, hand warmers, clear umbrellas, you name it, she’s got your back. AND she’s a true artist. She will take the cards you are dealt and make ART. Apart from the photos and from a business perspective, she went above and beyond for us. We had some unexpected events in the month prior to our elopement (complete closing of ceremony location because the visitor center burnt down) and she was so, so flexible with last minute changes and REALLY, genuinely wanted us to have the experience we envisioned. It’s that important to her. She will go above and beyond to capture your day (even if that means networking with locals and booking a campsight so we can access an area). She also took the time to get to know us and our vision and it really shows through her work and her conduct. I think that makes her stand out from other photographers we’ve worked with. It was so evident the whole time that her focus was on us and that meant so much.

Background:

My husband and I knew we wanted to either elope or have a “micro wedding” outdoors and in an adventurous place. We wanted to do a hike in our formal wear and have a ceremony in a beautiful place (mountains or ocean). We weren’t even sure where we wanted this to happen but we knew the type of adventure we wanted, that was about it. So we went into this pretty unsure of most details! We did our research on elopement photographers and found a lot. We reached out to Aimee because of her GORGEOUS portfolio and her work lined up with what we were looking for. We had a zoom call to meet face to face and immediately we knew she was our photographer. She was SO friendly, easy to talk to, no pressure at all (I mean it), she’s SUPER down to earth and so nice. She is SO knowledgeable about the elopement process it’s insane. And as a true adventurer herself she has excellent location recommendations. She was there every step of the way to help us choose our location and gave very helpful and honest/insightful feedback when I wanted honest opinions, which is huge. The entire process was very easy and stress free.

In conclusion, I fully believe every couple needs Aimee to capture their day (even if you’re not eloping, we had a micro wedding), we can’t express enough positivity about our experience with her. you won’t regret it!!

Eloping was always my dream idea of a wedding. Aimee’s pictures were impressive enough to attract the attention of my now wife enough to consider and eventually choose her to elope with us. We met Aimee all the way out in New Zealand, I could not be happier with that decision.

For 3 days we had the wedding of a lifetime. It was the best wedding I’ve ever been to. Taking pictures with Aimee was fun (that’s coming from someone who isn’t fond of having their picture taken). I enjoyed every moment of our wedding and we get to remember it with the most amazing photos. Weather was all over the place but the pictures were always perfect anyways. And some rain made for some impressive photos anyways.

Aimee was the best. Meeting with her every step of the way made the day well laid out before we even got to our destination. Everything was well planned with wiggle room to account for weather (which we needed). Aimee became a friend along the way, someone I would love to have at my wedding if I chose to do it the traditional way.

Her picture taking was awesome as evidenced by our photos. We got an early look at our photos much sooner than I thought. Her presence is felt, but she can become invisible as well when needed. I honestly forgot she was there when we said our vows.

All in all I highly recommend eloping versus the traditional wedding. And I cannot say enough about how awesome Aimee is as a photographer for this purpose. She turned us into literal art, and I know she can do the same for anyone.
