Glacier National Park Wedding + Elopement Photography
Lauren and CJ’s intimate June wedding at Glacier National Park.
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.
“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-wedding, 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 wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime occasion that you’ll want to 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.
“This wonderful human knows her stuff! We had never been to Glacier, so having her expert knowledge of the land was so calming. She did everything to make our day perfect and is ready for anything that comes her way. Due to weather, we had to adjust our whole plan the night before our wedding. Jessica quickly curated a day that was, honestly, much more spectacular than what we originally envisioned.
I don’t typically do well when things don’t go as planned. Jessica made us feel so calm that we truly didn’t care what our day would bring! I knew she would make it magical, no matter what – and she did ”
– Jordan and Chelsea
Hey there, I’m Jess!
Whether you’re having a celebration with a handful of your favorite people on the shore of Lake McDonald or opting for a more intimate experience at sunrise in Many Glacier, I’m here to photograph your day with professionalism and genuine excitement for your love story.
I’m not just here to capture those once-in-a-lifetime moments, though, I’m here to be your sidekick and right-hand woman throughout this incredible journey. Let’s be honest, while weddings are filled with beautiful moments and so much joy, there’s also unpredictability.
Whether it’s navigating unexpected delays, weather changes, or any other curveballs that come our way, I’ve got you covered. With years of experience navigating every scenario imaginable (even bears!), I’ll be there to bring a calming and reassuring presence to make your day magical no matter the circumstances we encounter.
Showing some love love to our alma mater, Longwood University, at Jesse and Joey’s destination wedding in Glacier National Park.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do you require to book?
To secure your date on my calendar, I ask for a flat-rate retainer of $2,000.
How do you accept payment?
I have an online payment processor that you can pay through with a debit card, credit card, or bank transfer.
Do you recommend we hire a second photographer or assistant?
I don’t include second photographers in my packages as I feel like it’s most comfortable to limit the number of vendors present capturing you on your day! That way something intimate and special doesn’t turn into something awkward and uncomfortable with too many eyes and people you don’t know as well as me.
What equipment do you use and are you insured?
Yes, I am insured. I photograph elopements with two Sony A7iiis and a backup Sony A7riii, which are dual card slot mirrorless cameras. Photographing weddings with dual card slot cameras allows me to back up the photos I take from the moment they are captured so that if anything happens to one of my cards, your photos are safe.
How long until we get to see our photos?
I know how excited to see your photos so I pride myself in offering a quick turnaround time for your images. I deliver a sneak peek gallery of 10-20 images within 24 hours of your wedding day. Your full gallery of images will be delivered in 2 months (8 weeks)!
Is there an option for expedited editing?
You may upgrade to a 4-week delivery time for $495. This must be discussed and paid for prior to your wedding day so I can properly arrange my schedule to allow for expedited delivery.
