Your wedding/elopement is about you and should truly be whatever you want it to be. Your experience with me will be about documenting and telling the story of your love and your wedding day, not just a glorified photo session.

I was born and raised in Colorado and know the mountains, especially the western part of the state: Crested Butte, Ouray, Lake City, Telluride, Silverton, etc.
very well! The beautiful scenery of the mountains gives me life!
Celebrating your love in a drop dead gorgeous place = an amazing day for you & stunning images!

I spent a lot of years traveling around, before getting married and having my daughter, and I even lived in South America for a year. I’m now happily back home in Colorado in a small town at almost 8,000 ft. elevation. But I am ALWAYS up for documenting love outside of Colorado!

I believe in producing timeless images that will be endlessly cherished by you. Therefore my editing style is true to life, bold, but natural, and not driven by current fads.
I seriously get so excited for you and for the magic we create in your images.
That feeling motivates me to dig right into editing your photos and send over a sneak peek of at least 25 images within 48 hours of your elopement/wedding/session!

I’ll provide many location options, work with you to determine what’s right for you and personally scout out the location to make sure the conditions are perfect and that there are no surprises. Have a specific backdrop or request in mind for your dream ceremony? We will find it!

"Three simple words: Jessa Is Amazing. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. The time she took with us, the ideas she had, and what she was able to capture. Just wow. When I proposed to Alyssa, her dream was “I just want to get married on top of a mountain”. As you can all see, we were able to do that thanks to Jessa. Crested Butte is stunning, my bride is beautiful, and we have a lifetime of memories captured in these photos."

"Jessa was easy to work with, quick in communications, and knew the area so well. Her photos turned out brilliant. We got back our sneak peak of photos in less than a week and were blown away by them. We’ve now received our full set of photos from the day and have so many amazing options to help us relive the day. Since it was an elopement, the quality of our pictures is all the more meaningful as it has allowed our families to get a glimpse into our wedding. We’ve heard nothing but things like “omg your photos are so beautiful!” We’ve even gotten a few “these are the best wedding photos I’ve ever seen.”

Jessa was also great given the situation. She was respectful of the intimacy of the day as an elopement and really did just let us have our moments. When we asked her to be there, she was, but she also gave us distance when we were reading vows or enjoying our first dance. She kept a distance for COVID reasons as well. We really can’t recommend her enough. We could fill a book with fantastic images of the day including some really unique shots that might as well be in magazines. Thank you Jessa for making our day incredibly special. We’re so grateful to be able to look back on it with your amazing work."

"Jessa was amazing to work with, and she took incredible photos of our elopement in Crested Butte, CO. She was responsive, thoughtful, fun, helpful and TALENTED. We weren't very familiar with the area, and Jessa was able to suggest the most beautiful locations. She also suggested we do a "first look" moment, which we had been debating about doing, and it was such a great! She also captured some moments of our pup Scout that are so special and went the extra mile for us in numerous ways. We highly suggest Jessa as a photographer for any occasion!"
