BASED: Seattle, WA

If you’re here, some part of you already knows that you want to elope. You’ve already tossed out the memo that says you have to do things the traditional way. You’re dreaming up epic sunrises, ocean views, mountaintops, and maybe a helicopter ride?!

But you’re doing it for a deeper reason than the epic view. You’re doing it because you actually want to connect with each other on your wedding day. You want to bring the dogs (aka the only family members whose opinions matter more to you than your own). And you want to feel like yourselves — the way you do when it’s the two of you out in nature, not in a crowded room with your extended family.

If you’re gonna do things the non-traditional way, you want to do them right. Let’s make this day about all the things you want it to be about, and none of the things you don’t.

 

Hey I’m Jess!

My job, as your photographer, isn’t just to get the shots you’d expect, and it definitely isn’t to put you in poses all day long; it’s to be your story teller.

I’m the right photographer for you if you’re looking for…

  • An experienced elopement professional to guide you through the planning process
  • A person who allows you to be yourself and feel comfortable
  • Photos that let you relive, not only the big moments, but all of the little moments on your elopement day

My values:

Diversity & Inclusivity

Love is love. No one should feel left out of the elopement/wedding industry(or any industry), which is why I happily photograph couples regardless of their skin color, gender identity, cultural traditions, sexual orientation or size.

Environmental Sustainability

I’m a Leave No Trace certified photographer. I won’t do “anything” for the photo, if it will harm/endanger the environment or animals in our surrounding area. Yes this includes spraying champagne, but we can spray sparkling water if you still want those kind of photos. If you’re new to the LNP principles, don’t worry I’m here to guide you, not judge you!

All of my packages include:

    • guides and resources: location recommendations, timeline creation, and vendor recommendations
    • all travel is included!
    • experienced elopement photography coverage
    • the part where I follow you and your dogs around with my camera, saying things like, “epic.”
    • online gallery of professionally-edited photos. (yep. all of them.)

On my website you can find resources like: How to elope in Mount Rainier,  5 Reasons to elope in the PNW, The Ultimate Guide to a National Park Wedding, 5 Eco-friendly Wedding & Elopement Tips and plenty more!

“Incredible is just one of many words to describe our experience with Jessika. My husband and I found Jess and just knew she would be the person for us. From day one Jess made the process of planning our elopement in the Grand Tetons so smooth and easy. Everything from our consultation to fixing my hair the day of, Jess effortlessly shows she cares for her clients. She guided us when we needed it or stepped back and let us soak in the moment when needed. Her passion for what she does truly shows, not only in her photos, but in her loving energy. She even loved on our pup as though her own! We had so much fun in the mountains with Jess. Her style of story-telling is truly unique!When we saw our gallery for the first time we couldn't believe it. Absolutely stunning!! We laughed, we cried, stayed up until 2am going thru them. The photos instantly put us back to each moment; something we value and are so grateful for.”

Jessika has been my go-to girl since day one. I stumbled upon her by winning a free boudoir shoot. That very first time she made me feel so absolutely comfortable and beautiful in front of the camera when most usually I am so afraid for pictures to be taken because I feel so insecure. Jessika’s joy throughout her photo shoots are infectious and just make you feel so in the moment, beyond beautiful and beyond confident. Ever since, I have hired Jessika to be my photographer. She’s recently shot my engagement photos and my fiancé has began to love Jessika just as much as I have. He similarly feels uncomfortable in front of the camera but Jessika is always sure to direct us, help us relax and be ourselves, and find the shot we never expected to get. She has become our permanent hype girl and we couldn’t imagine hiring anyone besides Jessika to photograph our elopement and tag along through our life adventure. So much love & appreciation of you, Jess!!! Thank you for doing what you do!

Jessika helped me to have my dream elopement. She was much more than a photographer in the sense that she discussed elopement locations and times with me so that we could get the best setting. She made us feel so comfortable and I felt like she was there as a friend. Her photography is in a class of its own. I feel like our wedding photos are a collection of art pieces and we were so fortune to book with Jessika. I will treasure these images for a lifetime.

If I could give Jessika more than 5 stars, I would! First of all, she takes BEAUTIFUL photos and has such a creative style. I am not artistic so I'm not great at explaining what I want or expect, but I have worked with Jessika before and trusted that she would know what I wanted and would like, and again she blew away my expectations. Not only does she have the talent but she also balances showing professionalism and letting her friendly personality come out as well. She arrived at the venue during a super busy time and knew exactly what to do, which kept stress off of me! She makes sure she knows about family situations because she wants everyone comfortable. She directed poses for family photos as well as just photos of my husband and I seamlessly. I honestly believe she will be my photographer for all my future needs - maternity, etc, because of her skill and because of who she is as a person! I love her and could go on forever if I could. HIRE HER, you will regret it if you don't!

Emily and Christopher

I found Jessika from her reels and stories on instagram and instantly fell in love with all the places she travelled and captured. I just loved the way she edits her photos and how effortless they all look. When I reached out to her about my wedding... in less then 10 days to plan it, she was so on top of it and spent plenty of time on the phone with me and helping me relieve my wedding jitters. Not only was there a fast turn around time, but my goodness these photos are just impeccable. I HIGHLY recommend Jessika. I am so picky with my photos and I cannot wait to work with her more in the future. Everyone who has seen our wedding photos all say that she is SO GOOD !!! Elegant, timeless, chic and overall beyond my expectation. I just want to say, if you're ever hesitant, Just Do It and hire Jessika!! I have no regrets and I am so thankful for her to be part of our big day !!

Esther and Matt

Jessika was phenomenal to work with! She was so helpful throughout the entire process; offering advice, recommending other needed vendors and reassuring me it would all work out every time I got into a panic. The two days we spent with her were a lot of fun. She has such a great, easy going personality which made us feel comfortable, relaxed and created genuine moments of laughter. Our pictures turned out STUNNING and everyone I know has been amazed by them. I highly recommend her and would use her to document all my special moments going forward.P.S. She makes really cool GIFS out of your photos which are super fun!

Kaila and Julien

This review could be pages long because of how much we LOVE Jessika! To start off, our original wedding was scheduled for November of 2020, but due to Covid, we switched to August of 2021 in order for us to have the wedding we had been hoping for. So, we originally met and hired Jessika when she was living in Kansas City. We did our engagement pictures with her and they were DREAMY! She was planning to move back to her home in San Diego after our original Nov 2020 wedding, so when we changed dates, we were nervous that we were going to miss out having her at our wedding! But of course, she's the best, and worked with us to fly back out to Kansas City to shoot on our new date! Yay! Her vibe and aesthetic is THE coolest, and all of our guests at the wedding commented on how cool she was! Jessika, thank you times a million!! And to all of the couples searching for a photographer--she travels!!!

Spend your day the way you want to.. AND GET PHOTOS THAT LET YOU RELIVE ALL THE LITTLE MOMENTS

The epic shots of you two making out surrounded by mountain views are awesome, but here’s what most elopement photographers won’t tell you: you’ll cherish the shots of the little things just as much. Like when you pause on the side of the trail to point out a bird or when you sit down at a picnic table and toss lunchables into each other’s mouths. My job, as your photographer, isn’t just to get the shots you’d expect, and it definitely isn’t to put you in poses all day long; it’s to be your story teller.
