Let's play a game of the sky's limit. You've rolled the dice and you won an entire day of sunshine and shenanigans ahead of you—what do you do?

Spoiler – anything you want! Want photos that reflect a day full of love, adventure, fun and spontaneity? Then you have to actually do the fun things that make you feel full of love, Adventure, fun and spontaneity! Toss aside anything that makes you feel boxed into expectations. Instead, embrace some hard-core quality time with your significant other! But by now, you might have noticed… knowing what to do next can be hard when you have unlimited options. That's where I come in!

Sigh. Yeah, really. When I got married, I was clueless. I hired a budget photographer and spent the whole day trying to please everyone else. I've regretted that decision ever since. It's the typical "If I could do it all over…" story. I'm on a mission to make sure you never have to experience that.

Wedding photos are like touchable memories; they're what you reach for to relive the day repeatedly. They help you remember every striking detail long after the moment has passed, like your sun-kissed skin after a day of adventure, wind-tousled hair, and misty eyes after exchanging vows, to name a few.

So if planning this thing is starting to take you towards panic attack territory, I'm here to calm you and help you learn from my own crappy experience. Whether you need someone to gently nudge you in the right direction or entirely throw their hands up and tell you what to do – I'm here to guide you every step of the way, in whatever way you need me.

Hey, I'm Jessica, a photographer who seriously regrets her wedding photos.

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."

Soley & Stefan

We had the best experience with Jessica! Not only did she capture our elopement beautifully, she was also very nice and helpful throughout the entire planning process. She replied quickly if we had any questions or concerns and had great suggestions for places to have our elopement in Florida, and things to do during the day. My husband and I are introverts... but she made us feel comfortable and more relaxed during our photoshoot...We highly recommend Jessica for anyone looking for a photographer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10

Kristin & Greg

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!

It's just a fact that planning weddings, big and small, comes with stress and an overwhelming number of decisions. It's normal to want to stick your head in the sand instead and hide (and hey, we've got plenty of sand here if you decide that's what you want to do!).

In every elopement guide, I create backup plans just in case we need to pivot. I also block off extra time in my calendar so we can adjust when your elopement happens if needed.

What if the weather is bad?

Back to faq's → 

Absolutely! The locations I suggest are places I have visited myself or have deeply researched, so I can give you all the insider tips. I'll be your go-to for logistics, suggesting experiences for you to try and connecting you with any other vendors (florists, officiants, etc.) you may need.

We're from a different area where I want to elope; can you help us plan?

Back to faq's → 

Yes! This whole operation is run by yours truly, and unless something huge happens, I will be the one who photographs your event.

Will you be the photographer shooting our day?

Back to faq's → 

Of course! If leaving your furry family member behind is unthinkable, have no fear. There are so many dog-friendly places to explore, and we can make a plan that accommodates four paws.

Can we bring our dog?

You receive sneak peeks within 24 hours because I know you're super excited to see your photos! For full galleries my turnaround is about 4-6 weeks depending on the season. During high season, I will notify you ASAP if I expect a backlog.

How long will it take to get our photos back?

Back to faq's → 

As much as I would love to, the answer is no, and here's why:

I want you to have the absolute perfect day, and selecting your vendors is personal. I would never want to assume you want one vendor when another would make you happier, so I will let you choose your own vendors!

Do you book vendors for us?
