I document wedding days using a hybrid approach. Capturing digital photography and Super 8 film video simultaneously.
This allows moments to unfold naturally, without stopping or staging, while preserving your day in both modern clarity and nostalgic motion.
This isn’t something you’ll find everywhere, simply because it requires a different way of working. Photographing and filming simultaneously means fewer interruptions, fewer staged moments, and a greater focus on what’s happening in front of you–not what’s being set up next.

A different way of documenting wedding days on photo & Video
No reenacting. No pausing the moment. Just presence.

Wedding photographer
& Super 8 filmmaker
hi, i'm jessica
I’m here for more than just the art.
I’ll help you breathe, tuck the hair back, fix what needs fixing, and notice what others don’t. Sometimes that looks like stitching buttons, slipping keepsakes into your bouquet, offering a quiet pause, or handing the camcorder to your dad.
These are the unplanned moments that become the glue between the frames, the ones you won’t script but will feel.

Film photography and Super 8 film is making a major comeback in the wedding world–and I’m so here for it. There’s a reason couples are falling in love with the nostalgic charm and raw, emotive quality of analog formats. They don’t just capture how your day looked–they capture how it felt. The shakiness of laughter, the warmth of sunlight, the grainy, imperfect beauty of real moments unfolding in real time.
Film Photography
35mm film brings a richness that’s hard to replicate. It slows things down. It captures the raw and the real–the unposed glances, the fleeting touches, the quiet moments in between–with a soft, timeless glow. The result? Images that feel less like photos and more like memories.
Super 8 Video
Shot on a real vintage camera, Super 8 has this dreamy, nostalgic magic that digital can’t touch. With its flickering light, textured grain, and romantic warmth, your love story plays out like an old movie–personal, emotional, and full of heart. Whether it’s vows whispered at sunset or spontaneous dance moves at your reception, Super 8 turns it all into something you’ll feel every time you hit play.
It’s not about perfection–it’s about presence. Film allows you to live in the moment, while I document it in the most honest, artful way possible.
The Retro Touch Your Wedding, Elopement & Engagement Deserves
From the laughter and tears to the quiet whispers, each frame will tell the unique story of your commitment, preserving the magic of your special day in a way that you can revisit time and again in photo and/or video.
The Big Day
04.
Whether we already have a vision for your wedding or are starting from scratch, this is where the real planning begins. Whether your big day is just around the corner or a year away, I’m here to help you pull everything together. We'll schedule as many virtual calls as necessary to refine the timeline and ensure every detail is covered.
From planning your engagement session, bridal portraits, and boudoir shoot to providing creative ideas and guidance, I’ll be by your side every step of the way to create a custom wedding experience that’s uniquely yours!
Plan & Prep
03.
I'll reach out with detailed information and an opportunity to schedule a virtual call with me. This call is a chance for us to connect, chat about your vision (or brainstorm one together if you're undecided!), and discuss wedding package options. II’ll share tips, planning advice, and answer any questions you have. Whether you book with me or not, I want to help you get started on planning an unforgettable adventure!

Head over to my contact page, fill out the form, and I’ll take care of everything from there!
When should we book you?
The sooner, the better, especially for peak months and destination weekends.
Most couples reserve their date 9 to 12 months in advance, with May through October filling first. Booking early gives us time to intentionally design your experience, scout locations, secure permits, and build a timeline that allows you to breathe and truly be present.
If your date or location is flexible, reach out! I spend extended time in Colorado and Oregon, with seasonal trips to Grand Teton, Glacier, and Southern Utah, so we may be able to align our travel dates.
Do you shoot on real film?
Yes! I shoot both 35mm and 120 film photography, along with Super 8mm film video. I love the timeless, nostalgic feel film adds to your story. Film photography is included in select wedding and elopement collections, and Super 8 can be added to capture your day in a way that feels beautifully nostalgic and completely your own.
How do we book you?
I’d love to connect with you! Please fill out the inquiry form on my contact page, and once I’ve received it, I’ll send over everything you need along with a link to schedule a video call. We’ll get to know each other, talk through your vision, and make sure we’re a great fit. To officially reserve your date, a signed contract and retainer are required.
When will I receive my images?
You’ll receive a sneak peek within 72 hours to one week after your day! Your full wedding or elopement gallery will be delivered within 8–12 weeks, with film images added as they return from the lab.
Do couples hike in their wedding attire?
Most do! For shorter or easier hikes, couples typically wear their wedding attire the entire way. For longer or more strenuous hikes, you can always pack your attire and change once we reach our location. We’ll talk through what makes the most sense for your specific adventure!
Do you travel for weddings?
Absolutely! I love traveling for weddings and elopements. From camping, backpacking, and hiking, across Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Utah, Montana, and Wyoming–to exploring 25 states (and counting)–adventure is in my DNA. Whether it’s wide-open deserts, mountain peaks, or hidden forests, I’ll meet you there. If you’re planning a destination wedding, my passport is ready–just tell me where we’re headed!
Do you have full galleries I can look through?
If you’re not already asking this when chatting with photographers, definitely add it to your list!
I make sure every couple sees at least one full wedding gallery, because it’s so important to get the full picture of my style throughout the entire day.
