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.

My wife and I's experience with Jesslyn was exactly what we wanted and more from a photographer. Professionalism, excellent communication, insightful, outgoing, friendly, warm and much more.

Jesslyn stayed in communication throughout the time we looked, booked, and waited till the big day. We would have chats between email and phone calls to discuss details, answer questionnaires, and provide our thoughts and hopes for what we wanted. The online portal was great to keep track of where we were in the process and later gain access to our gallery. One of the biggest things that was provided to take the guess work due to having no prior experience was a comprehensive PDF of locations for photos took into account many factors such as scenery, location, pro/con, etc. To have that level of insightful not just for our location but a swath of location around Glacier National Park, Yellowstone National Park and about everywhere in between if need be.

The big day, all of this ability to plan and communicate allowed us to have a calming, relaxing big day that held everything we wanted. Jesslyn upon request officiated, photographed, and assisted with tasks that were not required of her, but made her feel part of the family. Even though we just met her in person it seemed like we were seeing a friend we had known for years, just finally getting to see one another.

We have already agreed that when we visit to the area again, we would love to employ Jesslyn's services again.

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 Marie was our perfect photographer! From the moment you start talking with her you can see how genuine and caring she is. She truly wanted to make the day perfect for us! Our destination wedding was in Glacier National Park at sunrise. Weeks before the event, she sent us different recommended ceremony locations we could pick, then made the calls to get the permit and time reserved for us. Jesslyn even created an entire itinerary for the day we could refer to. She responded quickly and clearly to all our questions throughout the entire process. I can say with absolute certainty that from the very beginning she was way more excited about our Glacier wedding than we were!

Jesslyn listens to what you want and need for your day and does everything in her power to make it perfect. Jesslyn willingly drove us around the park and even married us, as she is ordained. She went above and beyond to give us the perfect day with the perfect photos. That is really saying something because it was a day when the park was full, so the itinerary and all those planned photos went out the window. But Jesslyn came up with a new plan on the spot and was able to make our day even more incredible and unique than it would have been.

We are so over the moon that Jesslyn was a part of our day and you will be too!

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!
