Elopement & Micro Wedding Photography + planning: Elevated, Intentional Celebrations
Your Wedding, Your Way—Prioritizing Connection, Nature, and Shared Memories
Most couples start planning a big wedding only to feel overwhelmed by family expectations, endless decisions, and unsolicited opinions—realizing it no longer reflects them. That’s where we come in.
Choosing your priorities means:
Celebrating with Your Closest Loved Ones – A gathering that feels intentional, where every guest is part of your story.
Exchanging Vows in Stunning Mountain Locations – Secluded alpine lakes, sunlit aspen groves, and private mountain estates.
Curating an Elevated Experience – Luxury lodging to set the tone, extravagant florals to transform the space, and a private chef to create an intimate, stress-free reception.
Your wedding should feel effortless yet unforgettable, simple yet refined. Let’s craft an experience that’s a true reflection of you.

That's the magic of the JLP experience—completely effortless for you, perfectly executed by us.
This is just the beginning of what our planning process looks like though!

Jess was not just our photographer; she became an integral part of our special day. She scouted out the most breathtaking locations for our Crested Butte Wildflower Wedding, ensuring that every shot was nothing short of magical. Her eye for detail and her ability to make us feel at ease in front of the camera made the entire process so enjoyable.
