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. 🤍

An editorial kind of love story with a touch of fun—because your wedding day doesn’t have to fit into anyone else’s box. ✨

Imagine a wedding day set against the timeless charm of Edenvale Winery, a day that feels equal parts elevated and effortless… the kind where you can sip, laugh, wander, and fully be in it together.

A little reminder as you plan your own day—
there is no “right” way to do this.
Not the timeline, not the details, not the vibe.

The only thing that matters?
That it feels like you. ✨

So whether your dream day looks like a chic winery celebration, a quiet mountain elopement, or something entirely your own… lean into it fully. The magic is in the authenticity.

This is your story. Tell it your way. 🥂

There’s something about summer in the Pacific Northwest—the way the light lingers a little longer, the air feels softer, and everything invites you to slow down and be present together.

This season of your story deserves to be remembered just as it feels: effortless, connected, and entirely your own. Engagement sessions aren’t just photos—they’re a space to step away from the noise, to explore somewhere beautiful, and to document this fleeting chapter before everything changes.

If a summer evening wrapped in golden light and quiet moments together feels like your kind of beginning… I would love to create something meaningful with you.

Inquire to reserve your date—summer availability is intentionally limited.
