Not every moment has to be dressed up to be meaningful.

Some of the most honest parts of your day look like this—boots on the trail, wind in your hair, moving through a place you love together.

Your mountain elopement, your way. Always.

Currently booking elopement adventures! Let's do this! ✨

Including your son in every aspect of your day... priceless!

You truly have full agency over how your day unfolds and for these two, it was really important to share these moments together as a sweet trio - a family of three. These are moments you will never forget and you got to not only spend them with each other, but with your sweet son - 🤍

And a special shoutout to the beautiful florals by the wonderful Songbird Floristry - Wedding & Event Florist! This whole day was so special for so many reasons. Thank you to the full vendor team for a wonderful day:

You’re not just hiring a photographer—you’re choosing someone who shapes how your day is experienced… and how your story is told.

From the quiet, slow moments in the morning… to the fun celebration with loved ones and the way it all coalesces at the end of the night—I’m there to document it with intention and artistry, while also helping you live it fully.

Fluffing your dress, steadying the pace, guiding when needed and stepping back when it matters most.

Holding space for the in-between moments that become part of your story.
Noticing the details you didn’t even realize you’d want to remember.

This is what I mean when I say I’m a storytelling photographer—capturing the full, layered story of your day while helping you craft it in a way that feels true to you.

Part personal assistant, part intuitive guide, part trusted third presence—fully invested in creating and capturing a day that feels as effortless and meaningful as it looks.

And a gentle reminder: make time for the fun, the joy, and the love. The best moments are the ones you allow yourself to fully feel. ✨

Because the most beautiful images come from moments that are genuinely lived - live it up! 🤍

There’s truly nothing like an adventure elopement in the PNW.💫

Vows shared in the quiet of towering evergreens, or along rugged coastlines, or above the clouds in the mountains—where the only thing that matters is the two of you and the experience you’re creating together.

This is your permission to slow down, to be fully present, and to choose a wedding day that feels like you.

With thoughtfully curated elopement experiences and planning support from a PNW local (that's me!), you’re not just showing up—you’re stepping into something intentional, meaningful, and wildly beautiful.

Let’s do this ✨

A wedding day is more than the big moments—it’s the full story, unfolding in real time ✨

The quiet anticipation, the in-between laughter, the way it all feels as the day moves around you. These are the moments that bring you right back years later.

At Ski Bowl, it wasn’t just about what was planned—it was about everything in between. The real, unscripted, true-to-you moments that made the day entirely theirs.

Because your wedding isn’t just something to remember—it’s something to feel.

Hi, I’m Ann Marie—the heart behind Myrtle Creative Co.
If you’re new here, welcome. If you’ve been around for a while, I’m so glad you’re still here. 🤍

Myrtle Creative Co. is rooted in the belief that your wedding is more than a single day—it’s an experience. One that deserves to be intentional, immersive, and entirely reflective of you. As I look ahead, I’m continuing to lean into celebrations that feel expansive and thoughtfully curated…

Coastal mornings along the Oregon Coast.
Cliffside vows overlooking the Columbia River Gorge.
Multi-day wedding weekends in the San Juan Islands.

Experiences that are not only beautiful, but deeply considered—where every detail has meaning and every moment has space to unfold.

My why is grounded in this: your story deserves to be documented with depth and care. Not rushed, not performative, and never reduced to a checklist of moments—but preserved in a way that feels effortless, honest, and enduring. What I create is not just imagery, but a reflection of how it all felt to be there.

I’m drawn to couples who value presence, who trust the process, and who are curating a celebration that is both elevated and deeply personal.

A few things about me—
• I’m most inspired near the water or somewhere the landscape feels expansive
• I notice the quiet, in-between moments just as much as the grand ones
• I will always tear up during your vows
• And I approach every wedding with intention, care, and an eye for the full story

If you’re planning something meaningful, immersive, and entirely your own—I’d love to connect. 🤍
