North Carolina Elopement Photographer

elevating and honoring expressions of love and support

Life is sweetest around those you love…

Including those special people on your wedding day is important but cherishing moments spent together as a couple matter, too.

You want a mountain-top experience focused on the love and sense of adventure you share.

How can you balance celebrating with family and friends while still feeling caught up in your own storybook moment?

When you choose to elope or have an intimate wedding, you’re saying yes to breaking the rules in the most “Jane Austen” approved way: focusing on connection, community, and romance.

Having a wedding day that removes the constraints of tradition and obligation opens up the possibilities for an experience reflective of your relationship.

Who are Elopements & Micro-Weddings For?

Confident creatives who purposefully plan a distraction-free, out-of-the-box wedding day around their captivating romance and the people they love most.

Does this sound like you?

Let's Chat!

Hey! I’m Jessica, your North Carolina Elopement Photographer!

No one should doubt their choices when it comes to their wedding (especially when family is involved.) By letting go of the pressure to please others and creating a guest list that just includes your nearest and dearest, the tone for your wedding is set with endless possibilities for celebration.

I choose moments over poses to share the journey you will adore telling future generations.

BOOK WITH ME

I'm passionate about documenting elegant elopements for family-oriented couples desiring timeless, storybook moments free from distractions.

Your day will be filled with reminiscing with your best friend from childhood, wiping a tear from your grandparents eye as they pull you in tight for a hug, and watching the sunset together while sharing dreams together for the future.

Let’s stop the world
so all that matters
is in front of you!

Here’s how we’ll make that a reality…

You’ll share the vision for your day with me and as planning begins, emphasis is placed on understanding your priorities and the possible ways to balance the desire to celebrate with family while focusing on each other.

We’ll craft a timeline that reflects your values and photography desires for the day. I’ll send check-in emails that not only help whittle down your to-do list but also give ideas for creative date nights to connect throughout the planning process.

Your wedding day is filled with belonging, genuine vulnerability, and exciting adventure. I’ll help you feel at ease throughout the day so that the photos taken reflect the emotions and experiences shared. At times, you might even forget I’m there as you enjoyed the day uninhibited by stuffy tradition.

“I highly recommend Jessica! She was a wonderful communicator and had brilliant ideas. At the wedding, there were moments that I definitely knew she was there (for the main photos - sunset, bridal, etc) but for the ceremony and reception, I did not have to worry if she was capturing the moment. She captured everything and our photos turned out phenomenal!! If there was a way to rate Jessica 10/5 stars I would. Definitely hire Jessica - you won't regret it!”

“We had an absolutely amazing experience with Jessica as our wedding photographer! Although we had a strong idea of what we wanted for our wedding day, we always felt comfortable messaging Jessica whenever a question would arise because we knew she would be there to help support our wedding vision. Even when one of us felt sick from the heat on the day, we didn’t feel stressed about it messing with the timeline because Jessica kept assuring us that everything was going to be okay.”
