Amy Zumwalt Photographers

Amy Zumwalt Photographers is a wedding and elopement photography business in Portland, Oregon. Amy has shot weddings and elopements around the world and most often works in Washington, Oregon, Texas and Iceland.

Why they suit LGBTQ+ couples

The business is LGBTQ+-owned. Amy began with large traditional weddings and now loves trees, light, waves and weather, which suits couples drawn to outdoor ceremonies and small celebrations. She wants to hear what you want on the day and what you do not.

What she offers

Her work covers both elopements and larger events.

• Wedding photography
• Elopement photography
• Adventure and destination locations
• Coverage in the Pacific Northwest, Texas and Iceland

How she works

Elopements need different planning from a traditional wedding. Ask about permits, daylight, hiking distance and what to wear for the weather. A flexible timeline lets the photographer follow the best light.

Share your love story, your priorities and the things you do not want photographed. Ask about packages, travel fees and how soon galleries arrive. If you are marrying outdoors, plan a backup for rain, which Amy says she loves. Ask how she handles elopement logistics, such as witnesses, officiants and permits, and whether she can recommend locations that suit your plans. A relaxed pace and a flexible start time usually produce the best images.
