reviews

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.

— JASA & TREVOR, COLORADO WILDFLOWER MICRO WEDDING COUPLE

My husband and I eloped in Colorado and did a sunrise wedding. Jessica did an amazing job at scouting, planning, and being so detailed orientated. It was honestly a magical day. I had expectations for who our photographer would be and that was someone who loves the outdoors, great communicator, willing to make our vision come alive, and down to earth. Jessica was all that and MORE.

— AMANDA & ISAIAH, SUNRISE ELOPEMENT COUPLE

Jess was absolutely amazing! My fiancé and I weren't too comfortable in front of the camera starting out, but within 10 minutes she had music blasting and had us genuinely laughing. By the end of it my fiancé had said he had so much fun (not something I thought I'd hear him say going into an engagement photoshoot). The pictures are better than anything I could have imagined.

— NATALIE & JACK, COLORADO ENGAGEMENT PHOTO COUPLE

Not only have the photos looked AMAZING!!! but the comfort and genuine happiness she brought to our day was unmatched. As a lgbtq+ couple, it can be nervwracking finding a photographer but from the jump we knew Jess was the one. I couldn’t recommend her enough and I’m so excited for whomever is reading this to experience their special moment captured by Jess.

frequently asked questions

  • Your elopement should be celebrated and documented just as a traditional wedding would. Just because it’s not a huge event, doesn't mean you don’t deserve to have the memories preserved for a lifetime! Especially with the elopement experiences that we provide, you’ll want every second documented to look back on years later.

  • The cost of your Moab elopement will depend on a few different factors such as: location, guest count, lodging, elopement-day activities, and the vendors you choose to hire.

  • Yes, you will need an officiant to get legally married in Utah. We recommend having a close friend or family member become ordained (it’s super easy & done online!) to marry you.

  • Lucky for you, we’ve created a process to make our planning experience together easy and fun. This includes:

    • Choosing your mountain town + date

    • Determining your guest count

    • Finding the perfect lodging

    • Booking your vendors

    • GET FREAKING MARRIED!

  • The absolute best time to get married in Moab, Utah is Spring and Fall when the temps are mild rather than unbearably hot. Summer in Moab is not the vibe with flooding tourists and scorching temps, trust us!

  • While we’re based in Breckenridge, Colorado, we’re specialized in Moab as well. We’ve spent the past 10 years adventuring throughout the American Southwest and would LOVE to share our favorite, remote locations with you.
