"Jessica was simply AMAZING to work with! We had an out of town wedding and were unable to meet with her beforehand but she made me feel so comfortable anyway"
- Abigail and Michael
Hey, I'm Jessica
THE PHOTOGRAPHER WHO REGRETS HER OWN WEDDING PHOTOS…
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, and I’m on a mission to make sure my couples never have to experience that.
Wedding photos are like touchable memories; they’re what you reach for to relive the day over and over. They help you remember every striking detail, long after the moment has passed like your wind swept hair after a day out in the highlands, waterfall soaked rain coats, and misty eyes after exchanging vows, just 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 take full control I’m here to guide you every step of the way, in whatever way you need me.
"I can’t say enough about how fantastic our experience with Jessica was. When my husband and I first began planning our wedding, Jessica’s portfolio stood out because not only were the photos beautiful, but we also felt that she really captured the couple’s personalities."
-Nicole and Brian
YOU TWO & ME? OUR STARS ARE DEFINITELY ALIGNED IF…
…THE THOUGHT OF A BIG FLASHY BALLROOM WEDDING MAKES YOU GAG A LITTLE.
It’s just kind of a fact, planning weddings both big and small comes with stress and an overwhelming amount of decisions.
You deserve to have a photographer on your side who can help you achieve the adventurous wedding day of your dreams.
- I Support You – I take a “permission first” approach to your day. I’ll never ask you to do anything that isn’t natural for you, and am always tuned in to your needs. Let’s make this a care free, meaningful experience where you leave feeling inspired and refreshed!
- I Support Local – No one really wants to give big corporations money. I will always recommend small businesses to help make your day even more amazing.
- I Support Nature – Leave No Trace principles and respect for our planet’s natural resources guide my actions outdoors.
They Say It Better Than I Ever Could
"Jessica was wonderful! She was down to hike and very accommodating. I am so happy we chose her to capture our micro wedding. Her work is BEAUTIFUL! And she is fun and kind. I highly recommend going with Jessica for your elopement/micro wedding."
- Josh & Rosmarie

FAQs
1. How do we get to Iceland?
The absolute best way is to fly into the Keflavik airport. We can meet in nearby Reykjavic, or I can pick you up!
2. I’ve never been to Iceland, will you help us plan?
Yes! I help you plan everything from start to finish!
3. What if the weather is bad?
When creating your location guide I will also create backup options for your day so we can pivot as needed. If the weather is truly dangerous then we can talk about our options. Keep in mind that Iceland’s weather typically changes rapidly! So even if it seems like it’s going to be bad, it will most likely pass really quickly. Either way, don’t worry because I will make sure it all works out!
4. Can we visit multiple locations?
Of course! I will draw us up some epic plans that will include everything on your wishlist. Keep in mind that Iceland is very spread out so the more places you want to see, the more time it will take.
5. How long will it take to get our photos back?
My turnaround is 4-6 weeks depending on the season. During high season, I will notify you ASAP if I expect a backlog, but usually I am able to get your entire gallery to you within the 4-6 week timeframe.
6. What if we don’t want to hike?
No worries! There are so many chill options and easy access viewpoints to explore if you want those epic views without a ton of work. Off-roading is also a great option!
