I'm not here to be your average elopement photographer, but help you create an experience that is so intimate between just the two of you. My mission is to make the planning process as easy, stress free, and fun as possible. From the time you reach out and inquire for your elopement, I'll be there for you. I want you to be able to throw out the traditions if you want, actually focus on the real reason you're getting married, leave the stress and pressure behind, and make your wedding day unique to the two of you and reflect your whole authentic personalities.
There's so many different meanings to the word "elope". I want to help you create the elopement that you want. Whether that is an intimate day with just the two of you eloping during a sunrise hike followed by a picnic or an elopement with your closest friends and family followed by a villa or airbnb after party
As a hopeless romantic at heart, I really enjoy being able to capture the most special moments. I truly want to help bring your vision to life, capture everything as the day unfolds, and document the little moments for you to look back on for years to come.

pLANNING YOUR ELOPEMENT
Hiring me doesn't mean I will just show up on the day of and start shooting. It means ongoing communication- from the second you send me an inquiry to your elopement day, I'm here for you. We will talk a lot about your day. From emails, questionnaires, and phone calls.
I’ll send over my elopement welcome guide and questionnaire getting to know what your dream elopement day looks like to you. We will figure out locations, flights, activities, where to stay, how long we would have to hike, family activities, etc.
You'll receive another in depth questionnaire to finalize all the details and make sure everything is in one place, which will ultimately keep us more organized, capture your day better, and answer any questions you may have. We'll chat over the phone again and make sure all plans are taken care of, flights and stays are all booked, and we're all ready to go.

All about jess
"Jessica was a joy to work with! From the first phone call with her, we felt comfortable with her. Our wedding pictures are just beautiful…my now husband and I don’t love photos of us, and we felt confident in ourselves with Jessica behind the camera. Couldn’t have asked for a better photographer on our special day — and gorgeous memories that’ll last forever. Thank you"
Hey, I'm Jessica, your elopement photographer. A Wisconsin girl who has a heart for travel and connection. I believe that there's so much more to life than your hometown or the state you live in. Travel and experience is honestly everything to me. My mission is to give you the best elopement experience possible all while exploring new places. My approach is to create a connection, give you the best experience, and capture moments as they naturally unfold versus constantly posing. At the end of the day, these moments are what mean the most.
Some of my favorite places that I've traveled to and would travel to again in a heart beat include: Costa Rica, Hawaii, Greece, London, Yosemite,GrandTetons/ Yellowstone, Mexico, San Diego, Lake Tahoe, Colorado, and Arizona.
I can't wait to help you curate the best elopement day!
Imagine being able to hike a mountain, take in the views, and say your vows all while eloping at sunrise; followed by brunch at your villa, photos and running on the beach with your person, jumping in the pool or cliff jumping in the evening, and being able to finish your night relaxing by the fire and eating pizza as a married couple. This is just an idea of what your elopement could be. Let;s create a day that is all about you, do things that only you two want to do, and create some magical photos while we're at it!!
