Oregon Elopement Experiences
LET’S PLAY A GAME: THE SKY IS THE LIMIT AND YOU’VE GOT AN ENTIRE DAY OF ADVENTURES AHEAD OF YOU - WHAT DO YOU DO?
Spoiler – anything you want! If you want photos that reflect a day full of love, adventure, fun and spontaneity, then you have to 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 and get ready to embrace some hard core quality time with your significant other!
But by now you might have noticed…
When you have unlimited options it can be hard to know what to do next.
That’s where I come in!

"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
it’s me, Jessica
THE WEDDING 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 sun kissed skin after a day out on the water, wind tousled beach hair, 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 fully throw their hands up and tell you what to do – “real talk” southern style – 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…
…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 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.
- 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!



They Say It Better Than I Ever Could
“I am so happy I found Jessica! She was so calm and flexible. I wasn’t a typical bride with awesome planning skills and she went with the flow and was very patient.”
– Brittany and Cody
“Jessica was amazing!! She was so helpful and understanding with changes and questions. COVID made a lot of things stressful with our wedding and we had to cut our guest list by a third, but Jessica was always there to help and plan things as we needed. Our pictures are perfect.”
Dani and Jacob
“We could not be happier with the experience we had with Jessica taking our engagement photos! From the beginning, Jessica was very responsive to communication and very flexible with all of the scheduling difficulties we encountered during the pandemic. Jessica made the shoot feel relaxed and easy, we had so much fun! We received our photos promptly and are thrilled with how naturally posed and beautifully lit they are. We would absolutely recommend Jessica!
Stephanie and Evan
"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

Yes, absolutely! Fill out my contact form and specify your date and destination so I can send you a custom quote.
2. I’m not from the area, can you help me plan?
Yes! You could even say it’s one of my favorite parts of the job. 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.

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

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.
