Available in texas, Colorado + Worldwide
You deserve more than a template–your day should be an experience that feels like you. Your elopement is where you get to write your own rules and trade expectations for something free and grounded. Maybe that means hiking up before sunrise, saying vows with the wind in your hair, or cooking breakfast together over a camp stove. However you imagine it, your day should feel like home.
Your elopement day shouldn't be just another event
it should be a personalized experience that resonates with your unique love story.
Whether the wild feels like your second home or you’re stepping into the unknown, I’ll guide you through the entire planning journey–locations, logistics, timing, all of it–so you can simply show up and be in the moment together.
If ‘Just Us’ Feels Right–That’s Enough.
Your love is the adventure. The rest is just the view.
Not because tradition is wrong, but because we wanted a day that felt peaceful, intentional, and true to us.
I’m here to help you create that same feeling. Whatever it looks like for you.
I’m here to support you through the entire elopement journey. From dreaming up what your day could feel like, to choosing a meaningful location, to creating a relaxed timeline that lets you soak it all in. When your day arrives, I’ll document it on photo and video in a way that honors your connection. The way you look at each other, the quiet laughter, the stillness, the joy, so you can hold onto how it felt forever.
Hey fellow adventure lovers!
I get it. I eloped, too.
i'm Jessica!

What you get in all of my elopement packages
and Often at the exact Same Time
capturing your day on film & digital
There’s a certain kind of magic that happens when moments unfold–a laugh that lasts half a second, a tear that catches the light just right. I never want to choose between freezing that moment or watching it move.
That’s why I shoot both digital photo (or digital video) and Super 8 film simultaneously. Using a custom rig that holds my digital and Super 8 camera together, I’m able to capture the exact same moment as both a timeless photograph and a nostalgic moving image–from your walk down the aisle to your first kiss.
It’s part art, part rhythm–switching seamlessly between shutter and film trigger–so you can see your day exactly as it happened, in both memory and motion.
Simultaneous storytelling–photo & Super 8 intertwined.
Film has a rhythm that slows everything down. It invites you to be present–to trust that the moment unfolding in front of the lens is enough. Each frame is intentional, imperfect in the most beautiful way, and filled with texture that digital can’t replicate.
I shoot film alongside digital because it adds a layer of depth and nostalgia that turns your gallery into something timeless. The grain, the color, the way light blooms across the frame–it all tells your story in a way that feels alive and honest.
Film isn’t about chasing perfection. It’s about preserving the truth of a fleeting moment, exactly as it was.

Your questions, answered.
How do we know how much coverage we need?
The amount of coverage you need really comes down to the kind of experience you want and the moments that matter most to you. Whether it's the quiet anticipation as you get ready, an emotional first look, or a post-ceremony adventure, all those pieces tell your full story.
For most elopements, I recommend at minimum 3-6 hours to capture the lead-up, the big moment, and the magic after. Planning something a bit more involved–like multiple locations or an all day adventure? Then 8+ hours is the way to go.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Weather is part of the adventure, and sometimes, it makes your elopement even more magical! Light rain, fog, or snow can create stunning, cinematic moments, and I always come prepared.
If conditions become unsafe or impact your experience, we’ll adjust–whether that means shifting locations, tweaking the timeline, or rescheduling if needed. No matter what, I’ll make sure your day is unforgettable!
How do you hike in wedding attire? And do we have to hike?
You don’t have to hike if it’s not your thing! Eloping is all about creating a day that feels true to you, whether that’s a mountaintop adventure or a scenic overlook just steps from your car.
If you do want to hike, most couples wear comfy clothes and change at the spot, or choose lightweight, adventure-friendly attire. I’ll help plan a route that fits your comfort level and ensure you’re prepared with everything from headlamps to hand warmers. However you envision your day, we’ll make it effortless and unforgettable!
Will you help us find a spot to get married?
Absolutely! Helping you find the perfect spot for your elopement is one of my favorite parts of the process. Whether you picture a mountaintop, a secluded lake, or a meaningful place, I’ll help you choose a location that fits your vision.
I’ll provide personalized recommendations based on scenery, privacy, accessibility, and lighting to ensure the best experience. If you already have a spot in mind, I can help refine the details to make sure it’s just right for your day!
Will you help us figure out permits?
I don’t handle the permit process directly, but I’m happy to guide you in the right direction! Many elopement locations, especially in national parks or protected areas, require permits for ceremonies and photography. I can help you research what’s needed for your chosen location and provide resources to make the process easier. If you’re unsure where to start, I’ll point you toward the right contacts to ensure everything is in place for your day!
Do you help us with logistics like vendors and timeline?
Yes! I’ll help you craft a seamless timeline so your day feels natural and stress-free, from the best time for golden-hour vows to planning an adventure-filled experience. While I don’t book vendors directly, I can recommend trusted florists, hair & make-up, and more. I’ll also guide you through locations, permits, and other logistics so you can focus on celebrating your love, your way!
Is it okay if we want to bring friends & family to our elopement?
Your elopement should be exactly what you want—whether it’s just the two of you or shared with your closest loved ones. If you’d like to include guests, I can help find a location that accommodates them while keeping the intimate, adventurous feel.
We can also create a timeline that balances time with family and private moments just for you two. Whether it’s a small ceremony followed by an adventure or a full-day celebration, we’ll make sure your elopement feels personal and true to your love story!
Do we need an officiant?
In many places, yes, you’ll need an officiant—but it depends on where you're eloping! Some states, like Colorado, allow self-solemnization, while others require an ordained officiant and witnesses.
The good news? I’m an ordained officiant, so if needed, I can legally sign your marriage license while keeping the focus on your intimate experience.
