unobtrusively documenting genuine interactions to create timeless memories and photographs.
You’ve been dreaming about your wedding day for years, inspired by those classic literary novels from your teenage days.
It’s time to joyously celebrate the love story you and your partner find yourselves caught up in.
HOW CAN YOU MAKE SURE THOSE MOMENTS ARE NOT FORGOTTEN?
Having photographs that document the day is the first step but let me be honest…I may be a photographer but I need you to know this:
A WEDDING DAY IS SO MUCH MORE THAN PRETTY PICTURES!
Focusing on magazine-worthy images alone won't capture genuine memories if the moments were overly posed. Think about it: do you want an image of you faking a smile or one where you were laughing so hard you nearly fell over, holding onto each other for support?
When you prioritize personal interaction, a deep sense of belonging will resonate with you whenever you revisit your wedding photos — throughout life's ups and downs.
Meet Your Photographer!
Hi! I’m Jessica!
After my husband and I exchanged vows in the Blue Ridge Mountains with 21 of our closest friends and family, I fell in love with those mountains AND intentional wedding days!
The freedom and possibilities within the untraditional wedding world is unmatched!
Joy-filled and epicly romantic wedding days surrounded by your community and free of distractions can be your reality.
NOT YOUR AVERAGE PHOTOGRAHER
Lifestyle, Film Inspired Images: By mixing documentary style photography with editorial elegance though gentle prompting, you can stay present in the moment while knowing I’m working my magic behind the camera. These photos won’t look dated when the next trend hits because timelessness is always the goal.
Customized Planning Support: Realizing that the day you plan will be reflected in the photos I take, I am dedicated to encouraging and empowering couples to create a day that truly suits them (even while family is involved.) I walk couples through the timeline creation process, ensuring they never feel isolated in their decisions.
Jacob & Sarah
“Working with Jessica was truly such an easy thing to do. She went above and beyond what we expected from her. She reached out many times to just check in with us, worked with us to tweak the timeline for our wedding day, and gave support and proposed ideas when we needed them. You can feel this happiness and warm energy as Jessica photographs which is something every couple should experience on their wedding day! She is organized and thoughtful, and puts 110% of her effort into everything she does. Jessica helped us to have a personalized, special, meaningful, and well-documented wedding day, with hundreds of photos that we can look back on for years to come to relive the best day of our lives.”
While all of this sounds amazing, I can hear you thinking:
HOW CAN I HAVE A DAY THAT INCLUDES FAMILY BUT IS CENTERED ON US?
While every couple and relationship is different, setting aside time for each other in the midst of the celebration can be a wonderful way to balance these two desires.
Start envisioning your day by asking:
If you woke up one day and didn't have to go to work or worry about a to-do list, what would you do together?
Where do you go to find peace and tranquility after a long week?
What is your most memorable experience you had together?
When do you feel most cherished by your loved ones?

"If you're thinking about booking Jessica...stop thinking and book her! She was fantastic and so professional by setting up meetings with us to make sure she fully understood the vision my husband and I had for our wedding. On the day of, she was incredible at getting all the best angles, while staying on the sidelines so as to not distract from what was going on in the moment. Jessica captured so many memories that I can treasure for the rest of my life; I couldn't recommend her enough."

Elena & Jacob
From the start, Jessica was conscientious, curious, and positive. She answered all our questions with a gracious and open energy that put us immediately at ease, and worked with us extensively to discuss what we wanted to capture about our relationship. She was flexible with alternate weather plans and able to adjust on the fly with anything unexpected. This was a big decision for us, and a not-insignificant expense to consider, but it was well worth it. We're so happy we chose to work with Jessica!
FAQs
-
Most couples who book with me choose between 8-10 hours of coverage but some elect to add on an extra day for 14 hours total of coverage (amazing, right?!) It really depends on the vision you have for your unique day which is why that’s something I cover in every consultation call. Schedule one with me today (it’s free!) and we can dive into figuring out this exact answer for you!
-
Absolutely! I have a network of venues that specialize in micro-weddings and a constantly growing list of public land (state parks, national forests, etc.) that I love sharing with couples who don’t yet have a location picked out. Let me know the general aesthetics you’re looking for and we can dive into finding an incredible spot together!
-
Absolutely not! While the “official” definition of an elopement includes less than 15 people and a micro-wedding is usually thought of as being under 50, I’ll let you decide what title to give your big day.
-
I do! While my specialty is elopements and micro-weddings, I recognize that community-oriented couples who desire timeless, storybook moments free from distractions can plan large, traditional weddings, too. If you connect with the idea of prioritizing moments over photos and creating total pauses from the world’s bustle, message me as I’d love to add your wedding to my calendar!
