Elopement Investment
Intimate Adventures, Timeless Memories
Specializing in texas, new mexico, and colorado elopements
Ready to plan your custom elopement?
The allure of eloping lies in its inherent freedom; unlike a conventional wedding, there are no set rules or expectations. Instead, you have the opportunity to curate a day that is exclusively inspired by your unique bond. Imagine a celebration where the only commentary comes from your hearts, free from the constraints of a typical wedding narrative. Whether you envision exchanging vows in a breathtaking mountain landscape, under a canopy of stars, or in an intimate, cherished spot that holds special significance to your relationship, the possibilities are limited only by your imagination.
As your photographer, my role goes beyond capturing images—it's about narrating your elopement story authentically. From the planning stages to the final moments of your celebration, I’ll work closely with you to focus on the intimate details and candid emotions that make your day unforgettable. Let’s break free from tradition and create something extraordinary that truly reflects your love!
Have you considered breaking away from tradition and eloping?
No matter if you're an experienced adventurer or someone who’s lost their way on every trail, I'm here to guide and inspire you in crafting the elopement experience you've always envisioned. You deserve nothing short of the extraordinary!
I’m here to support you through every step of this journey–not just to show up on your day and snap a few photos. I want you two to feel supported and comfortable on your wedding day. My approach combines creativity and a spirit of adventure to capture authentic moments that truly reflect the heart of your celebration. When I’m not behind the camera, my husband and I love exploring the great outdoors with our two kids, whose curiosity and joy inspire us daily.
Hey there, I'm Jessica
your elopement/intimate wedding photographer-videographer & guide
Get to know me
As an adventurer and photographer, I embrace the unpredictability of the outdoors–that’s part of the magic. Whether we're trekking mountains or braving the elements, I come prepared so you don’t have to. Here’s what’s 'in my pack' to keep your day running smoothly:
LET ME CARRY SOME OF THE LOAD
My ‘No-Stress with Jess’ kit – A carefully packed stash of essentials, because after countless weddings and adventures, I know exactly what we might need.
Safety first – I'm first aid trained, carry an extensive first aid kit, and have a GPS satellite communicator for peace of mind.
Gear for any adventure – Microspikes, hand warmers, rain ponchos, headlamps, extra camping gear, and an off-road vehicle to get us wherever we need to go.
Problem-solving on the fly – Whether it’s securing a stubborn boutonniere, patching up a torn dress strap, or crafting a last-minute bouquet, I’ve got the tools and know-how to handle the little hiccups.
A habit of being over-prepared – From trail maps to years of experience, I come armed with random (but useful) knowledge to make the journey smoother.
Let’s face it–I’ve got us covered, no matter what surprises the day might bring!
