Jesslyn Marie Photography

I do not think there are enough words to adequately express our time with Jesslyn, but here we go.

The short of it is you will not find a better human to help you on your quest for beautiful wedding photos. Jesslyn is not only knowledgeable and friendly, but she also has top-tier communication skills, the best questionnaires to help her know exactly what you want, and a wonderful sense of humor. In total, we were a group of eight, nine, including Jesslyn, and I was worried about that being too many people for an elopement/destination wedding. But Jesslyn was so kind to keep reminding us that this was our day, and she was there to make it as smooth and worry-free as possible, and that whatever and whoever we wanted was perfect.

We traveled to MT from WI, so it was so nice to have someone who knew about documentation, citations, etc. I know that took a lot off my mom and my plate. Specifically, the mother of the bride wants to add that she was "so nice, fun, and she put everyone at ease, which is why the pictures are so good." And the pictures are AMAZING. Please, if you are ever looking for a photographer, look into Jesslyn's work; you will not regret it.

If I could add more stars, I 100% would. I reached out to Jesslyn VERY last minute about a Wyoming elopement with absolutely no clue what I was doing or how I even wanted to do it. When I tell you this amazing human being helped me every step of the way, I mean every single step. After our initial chat on the phone about what I had in mind, she immediately waved her magic wand and turned it into a reality for me. From helping pick the best photo day based on weather, pinning up my too-long wedding dress for me last minute, personally driving us to multiple locations for our photos, to literally driving back to those locations on her last day to SEARCH THE FREAKING SNOW FOR MY HUSBAND’S RING BOX THAT HE DROPPED - there was nothing she wouldn’t do to make this the best Elopecation for me and my now-husband. I will forever be grateful for her enthusiasm, professionalism, and guidance in this whole process. She is such an amazing person and a PHENOMENAL photographer. The photoshoot was everything we asked for and more - absolutely 0 stress, fun, and carefree. HIGHLY RECOMMEND !!!

Where to begin … one word to start with would be “Magical”. From our first meeting with Jesslyn we knew we found “our person” to help with our elopement. Jesslyn is one of the kindest, most thoughtful, and knowledgeable people we found to help us plan and capture our “I Do’s’” at Glacier National Park. She helped us pick locations for our ceremony and other locations to take pictures at. She gave us plenty of options and answered every question we could think of. She captured the beauty of our surroundings along with the beauty of us (the couple). She came to our Airbnb to take photos before heading to the park. Our day couldn’t have been more perfect. It was better than we imagined it could be with such short notice. We booked her late July and got married the first week of October. I should mention that we are not in the area; we came from Florida. It was an absolutely flawless day. She helped us get the permit for the park and knows all the right questions to ask the event coordinator. If you’re looking to elope anywhere in Montana, especially Glacier National Park, our ONLY suggestion would be your one woman show, Jesslyn Marie Photography. You will not be disappointed.

We can't say enough good things abut Jesslyn! Communication leading up to our elopement was excellent and she went right along with all my last-minute changes/suggestions and contributed her own expertise to let us know what was realistic/possible. Day of our elopement ran very smoothly, and she made sure we got to all the spots we were hoping for. It felt like we were spending the day with a friend even though we'd never met before in person. Our families all adored her and were so impressed by her. Multiple people told me throughout the day how perfect and fun she was- and our big crew can kind of be a lot to handle sometimes, lol. We only have our sneak peek back, but I'm already obsessed! The photos are gorgeous, and I know that booking her was the best decision we made for our destination wedding/elopement to Glacier National Park.

Jesslyn is perfect in every way. I had talked to a couple of other vendors before Jesslyn, and I was getting discouraged. Some photographers don't listen to your vision ("Oh you have to do "x" or you'll regret it"). I sat down with Jesslyn and that was it. First of all, she's just a really awesome human. Second of all, she's passionate about helping her clients express THEMSELVES, not some traditional version of what weddings should be. She wasn't pushy with poses, she loved our campsite/backyard wedding vibe, and was there to support us every step of the way. Third of all, she takes beautiful photos. Doing an adventure elopement? BOOK NOW! Our engagement and wedding photos incorporated beautiful venues and she captured it, and our personalities, in the best way possible.

Jesslyn provided us with the best possible experience a photographer could. She took beautiful photos, helped us in any way required (like crawling through 3 feet of snow to retrieve our bags), and provided us with a fun, memorable experience. Having a photographer willing to hike out three miles with all of their gear is hard to find; and Jesslyn did it with enthusiasm! I can not say enough praise to accurately represent how awesome she/this experience was!

Jesslyn is so warm and fun she made our day even more special with her amazing personality! It really felt like we were with a close friend/hiking buddy. She was so communicative before, during, and after our elopement and always easy to get a hold of.

The photos! I cannot say enough good things about the plethora of amazing shots she gave us. They truly are photos I will cherish for the rest of my life. Jesslyn made our elopement exactly what we wanted, and I highly recommend using her if you're planning a micro wedding/elopement out in nature!
