Bride sitting beside a peaceful lake in her wedding dress

This isn't about throwing tradition to the wind or trading your details for a backpack and hiking boots.

An elopement is simply a smaller, more intentional way to begin. You get to have the flowers, the champagne, the carefully chosen details that have lived in your head for years. You get to have the people who matter most. You just get to do it without  the pressure, and the two hundred people you felt obligated to invite.

You don't have to earn your backdrop with a grueling hike either. Some of the most breathtaking spots are a short walk from the car. A waterfall. A downtown rooftop buzzing with life. A historic venue tucked away and is anything but ordinary. An easy outdoor adventure or an intimate urban setting, the location should feel like you, not like a test of endurance.

Just the two of you or up to 25 of your favorite people. A simple ceremony or a full day with dinner and dancing after. There is no single way to do this. The only requirement is that it feels like you.

Small by choice. Meaningful by design.

03.

From that point on I am a steady presence through every stage of planning. Permits, locations, timelines, vendor recommendations — we work through it all together so that when your day arrives, the only thing left to do is show up excited to say your vows.

Plan, Prepare & Celebrate

STEP 04.

Once we know we are a good fit, a custom proposal with everything we discussed will land in your inbox. When the contract and retainer are complete, the date is officially yours.

Save Your Date

STEP 03.

A relaxed, no pressure conversation where we connect, make sure we are a good fit, and talk through everything you are envisioning. No salesy vibes, just honest conversation. Bring your questions, your ideas, and anything you haven't quite figured out yet.

Book a Call

STEP 02.

Every inquiry is responded to by me personally. A real conversation with someone who genuinely wants to hear about your vision, your people, and the day you're dreaming of.

After the Inquiry

STEP 01.

The Process 

Savannah

"If you're unsure of who to hire for your elopement photos, do yourself the favor and hire Jessika! I promise you won't regret having this woman document your most important memories. Thank you for everything. You made our day so perfect in every way!"

Starting at $500

A gallery on your phone is wonderful. But there is something entirely different about holding your wedding day in your hands. A fine art album is the one thing from your wedding day that gets passed down. Something your children and their children will actually be able to touch. I offer custom designed albums as an add on to any collection.

Your story, beautifully bound.

Fine Art Albums

After your elopement day the real work begins. Editing a full gallery is the most time intensive part of this work and every single image gets full attention. Each photo is carefully considered so that what you receive feels timeless and consistent with the cinematic, documentary style you chose me for.

You will receive a sneak preview of 10 images within 72 hours because the wait after your wedding day is genuinely hard. Your full gallery will be delivered within 8 to 10 weeks.

And your polaroids? Those go home with you the same day. Little tangible pieces of a moment that was anything but ordinary, yours before the night is even over.

No two elopements look the same. Let's build the day that feels completely like you.

Two Becoming One

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Where are you based and do you travel?

Based in Pennsylvania and available throughout the state year round. Destination elopements within the United States and internationally are always welcome. Pennsylvania travel is included in all packages and destination travel is custom quoted with no hidden fees.

2. Do we have to hike or go somewhere remote?

Not at all. This is not about disappearing into the wilderness unless that is exactly what you want. A waterfall just a short walk from the parking lot, a downtown rooftop buzzing with life, or  quiet chapel tucked into the trees. Pennsylvania alone has some of the most beautiful backdrops within a few hours of anywhere. You just have to choose something that feels like you.

3. What if the weather is bad?

Some of the most beautiful images happen in imperfect conditions. Wind, overcast skies, and even rain can add something unexpected and beautiful to your day. We will always have a backup plan in place so if something shifts, you are already taken care of.

4. What if we're nervous in front of the camera?

Completely normal and very common. By the time your day arrives we already know one another through our planning calls. I use gentle prompts and give you space to just be yourselves. No forced poses, ever.

5. Can you help with planning?

Yes. From permit research and location suggestion to timelines and vendor recommendations, I am here to guide you through the details so you can show up excited to say your vows.

6. How do I reserve my date?

Once we have connected and confirmed we are a good fit, a custom proposal lands in your inbox. A signed contract and retainer officially secure your date on my calendar.

7. Do you have a payment plan?

Yes. Your retainer secures the date and the remaining balance is split into installments. We can talk through a schedule that works for you on our connection call.

8. Will my photos be safe?

Your images are irreplaceable and treated that way. My camera shoots to two memory cards simultaneously so every image is duplicated before I leave your side. After your day those images are backed up across two hard drives and a cloud based system until your gallery is delivered.
