Hi, I'm Jessica, your Florida elopement photographer and guide. 

P.S. If you're looking for a quick, in-and-out beach ceremony...I'm not your gal.

“Jessica made us feel like we’d been besties forever.” — Stephanie

Tom & Janeth

"My wife discovered Jessica through instagram after we decided to get eloped in St. Augustine, Florida. A charming place we absolutely fell in love with that now shares a special place in our memories and our hearts. Initially what attracted us to Jessica were not just the photos, but the photo concepts Jessica creates ie. the double exposures, which are absolutely phenomenal. But as it turns out as well, Jessica has a vast network of vendors who helped create a beautiful memory of the special day by producing the most stunning flower arrangements, wedding cake design, and romantic beachside picnic setting, as well as an officiant who provided a memorable and touching ceremony. 

"We feel like we got the best and the most beautiful thanks to her suggestions."

Jessica, became like family for the brief moments we were all together! She blended in and captured all of us in an authentic way. She helped us curate a wonderful day in the most beautiful setting and will forever be a part of our story. What she captured was timeless memories that brought two families together in an intimate ceremony. She helped map out the site (and a plan B site) without any of us ever seeing it in person as well as the perfect timeline. She took the time to video conference several times to work through some of the details. She also developed a list of lodging, florists, make-up artists, catering, etc… that saved us hours of research and guess work! Thank you Jessica for helping us with our wedding/elopement day!

Working with Jessica was such a smooth process! She really took her time in making sure she understood exactly what shots and angles we wanted to capture. Day of we’re a little nervous because we’ve never had professional pictures taken and are usually pretty shy in front of a camera. It was a super fun session and she made us feel very comfortable. We now have beautiful pictures to remember our day
