"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.

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

Ready to plan your elopement? Here's how I can help:

Whether it's a sunset sail, a snorkeling trip, a beach picnic, or even an airboat ride in the Everglades, I'll help you come up with the perfect adventure to make your elopement uniquely YOU.

Even though you're eloping, there are still details to manage, like obtaining your marriage license, securing location permits, and arranging for any necessary witnesses. I'll help you with your checklist so we don't miss a single thing.

Florida's weather can be unpredictable, especially with its tropical climate. As a lifetime Florida resident I'm used to dodging the rain and figuring out when the best time is to have your celebration. I'll help you navigate through the weather so you have the best possible day.

Elopements are intimate by nature and I help personalize your celebration. I have tons of suggestions like writing your own vows, choosing meaningful music, and incorporating special touches that reflect your relationship.

Whether you're drawn to the vibrant beaches of Miami, the tropical vibes of the Florida Keys, or the historic charm of St. Augustine, I'll help you pick a location that reflects your personality and love story.

I will help you plan your elopement, guide you through getting necessary permits, scout out the best locations, and capture stunning photos that you'll cherish forever. As a lifetime Florida resident I know all the best spots and insider knowledge that you only get from being a local.
