Your Elopement Photography Experience
So, you’re dreaming up your magical elopement day and are on a mission to find a photographer who will capture those moments for you to cherish for a lifetime…
I’m here to give you photos that stand the test of time and are the perfect reflection of your unique elopement experience.
But choosing an elopement photographer is about so much more than the photos.
Choosing to elope means striking out on your own, tossing out the rule books, and having an experience that feels more true to the two of you and your love story. Now that you’ve decided how you want to get married you’re probably wondering “what’s next?” I mean, you may not have ever been to the location you’ve chosen to get married.
It’s kind of an overwhelming task figuring out where to start, I get it.
Trust me when I say that you can breathe a sigh of relief and let that weight lift off your shoulders.
Even if your elopement is still just a vague idea, we can work together to paint the full picture! In addition to seamlessly documenting your elopement from start to finish, I’m here to expertly guide you through everything you need to know in preparation for having such a special day.
From showing you all the hidden gems to helping you find a florist, I’ll be your sidekick and right-hand woman throughout this incredible journey.
Time for introductions… I’m Jess!
( Your adventure buddy and elopement sidekick )
When I was little, I always followed the rules. As an adult, I help couples like you break them on the reg! What changed? It’s a LONG story, and an impulsive decision to go skydiving definitely had something to do with it. But most of all, my passion for unfettered, unrestrained love stories like yours tugged me toward a life spent documenting “I do”s in the most breathtaking landscapes across America.
Known for wearing cozy beanies in every shade, scoping out hidden gem locations, and creating backup plans for my backup plans, I expertly blend planning with spontaneity to create the perfect elopement adventure. I am proud to deliver a photography experience that’s about so much more than the photos we take.
I can’t wait to explore the possibilities with you and bring them to life in a way you’ve never even imagined. Let’s dive in!
“Jessica immediately felt like an old friend… It was as if she became a sort of unique ‘professional’ maid of honor, which is kind of when you want when there is only one person with you and your spouse to be on your wedding day!”
Tyler and Rahul
“My husband was a tad wary of having a stranger part our elopement day, but after meeting Jessica, he felt completely comfortable… She’s charismatic and kind, goes above and beyond when helping you create your dream ceremony day, and sincerely loves her work.”
Deanna and Rob
“The way she documented our day, with gentle guidance, allowed us to be playful, explore the scenery, and just simply feel the love!! Jessica had a professional and strong creative presence and was also laid back, which made us feel at ease.”
Niky and Vlad
Great photos come from a great experience which is why when you work with me, you’ll get…
Peace of Mind
Regardless of the lighting, weather, or unforeseen circumstances, I’m here to skillfully capture every moment, ensuring your memories are preserved beautifully.
Expert Day Planning
Having planned and witnessed over 75 elopements, I’ve got the knack for crafting a day-of-game plan! I’ll factor in everything from drive time to when the sun dips behind the mountains and even spontaneity.
Support and Encouragement
You can rely on receiving sincere support and encouragement from me, ensuring that if you find yourself overwhelmed or discouraged during planning, you’ll have someone in your corner.
Prompt Sneak Peeks
I’ll make sure to send you a sneak peek gallery of images within just 24 hours of your special day, so you can start cherishing those beautiful moments in record time!
Prompt Communication
Timely and responsive email communications to address any of your questions and concerns leading up to your special day and to provide guidance where I can.
Undivided Attention
I prioritize a limited number of elopements every week, allowing me to dedicate myself fully to delivering the best possible experience for your elopement day.
The icing on the cake?
All Packages Include an Album
Despite your best intentions to create an album yourselves, in my experience, amidst the whirlwind of getting married, honeymooning, and settling back into everyday life post-elopement, creating the perfect album often gets overlooked or becomes an overwhelming task.
Every couple I work with gets a handcrafted, heirloom-quality album that tells the story of their big day like no other. I mean, your elopement day is a once-in-a-lifetime occasion that you’ll want to share and relive over and over, right?!
Of course you’ll have all of the photos digitally to treasure forever, but there’s just something special about unplugging from technology completely. Flipping through the pages of your wedding album creates an immersive experience like no other and gives you two the chance to really soak in the magic of your special day, reliving every heartfelt moment.
That’s why I make it my mission to take the stress out of creating your perfect album. From thoughtfully designing the layout and cover fabric to working with a top-of-the-line company based in Poland, I’m genuinely here to give you the most seamless experience from start to finish.
Elopement Photography Pricing
Although I’m based on the east coast in Virginia, most of the elopements I photograph are in the Rocky Mountains of Montana and Colorado, and am always ready to book a flight. So, no matter where you’re planning to say “I do,” as long as you have a joyful heart and adventurous spirit, I’d love to come tell your love story and maybe even go somewhere new!
