& co-creator of your Best Day Ever
In the lead up to your intimate wedding or elopement, we won’t be sourcing linens or writing table assignments. We’ll be exploring who, where and what brings your spirit awake. We’ll be crafting a day that is 100% you. So suffice it say, we won’t stay strangers for long! I can’t wait to hear the story of how it began, and about the things, people and places you love. I can’t wait to compare travel stories or doggo pics! And most of all, as your wedding and elopement photographer & guide, I am committed to helping you plan your biggest and best adventure yet!
My connection to you is what allows me to weave together and tell your unique story
It's personal for me
It's personal for me
6 years ago, my partner Steve and I took a leap. We decided to save up money, quit our full-time jobs, sell all our things, and travel the world for one year. We dreamt of new adventures with new people in new places. From the very moment we made that decision and started dreaming, our lives were forever changed. We realized that we’re co-pilots on a grand adventure of our own design, and that there are no rules – we get to do it our way.
And we learned that life is a patchwork of adventures shared with the people (and doggos) who matter most.
for me, adventure is
Doing the things, in the places, with the people who set my spirit free.
It’s a wide open road with my guys and our trusty adventure mobile, Alberta. It’s wandering through a forest after the rain and standing in awe at the base of a waterfall. It’s getting lost and ending up at a brewery…we do that a lot. Sometimes it’s calm and cozy like an evening all snuggled up with some Netflix, and each other. And sometimes it’s a bit wild, like backpacking through Europe, or white water rafting, or paragliding over the Swiss Alps.
It’s following our travel lust across the globe, and finding a cozy home, together, wherever we go – whether that be a camper on the Cali coast; a castle in the Scottish highlands; or a treehouse in the forests of Washington. It’s time spent with each other and the people who make this wild ride all worthwhile.

But of all my adventures, nothing brings me more joy than serving my couples now friends, as they embark on their journey and best adventure yet.
Stuff that really matters to me
Love is love. No matter who you are or love, your love is beautiful. Regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity or sexual orientation – you are welcome and celebrated here.
It’s our sacred responsibility to keep wild places wild. Whether at work as a wedding and elopement photographer or on a hike with my fam, all my adventures follow LNT.
"Jess puts her whole heart in her work. It is both seen and felt."
Our Elopement day couldn’t have been more perfect and it started with Jess long before our actual day. During planning, Jess came along for a hike to help us pick the perfect spot. The day of our elopement, she felt like part of our family as she went room to room capturing moments as we got ready. She has such an easy, authentic, and natural way about her. Jess went above and beyond her role as a photographer by helping make sure our wedding party (our teenage kids) made it up the hill and were ready for us to arrive (on our bikes). Jess even made sure our music was playing just before we arrived. She sent us a few pictures right away because she knew how excited we were to see them and when it came time to view all of the pictures, we were blown away! We felt like we were reliving our wedding day. Jess is no longer only our Elopement photographer. She has become our friend. Jess made us feel that our wedding day was just as important and special to her as it was to us. She puts her heart into her work and not only did we see it, we felt it.
"Amazing Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience"
My husband and I had an AMAZING once-in-a-lifetime engagement experience in Paris with Jess. We absolutely loved working with Jess. She was so friendly to work with – she made us laugh and feel natural. She has such a unique eye and a wonderful amount of patience which was great, as we had no idea what we were doing! She found tons of great spots, and took such time and detail to get us engagement photos we will treasure forever! Jess even took the time to talk through which photos would be best to order for Save the Dates and for our home, which was incredibly helpful and appreciated. We would HIGHLY recommend Jess to all!
"Our experience with Jess was nothing short of fantastic."
Our experience with Jess was nothing short of fantastic. We were so impressed with her attention to detail and how well she got to know us as a couple during this process. She is incredibly patient, creative, and accommodating. She tailored the shoots so uniquely to us and made us feel right at home in the spotlight. She provided creative and artistic suggestions while being sure to address any needs we had. She's extremely good with communicating everything from ideas to shoot directing. Jess has an innate talent for photography, and that was clear in our images. We would happily book her again and recommend Jess to anyone!
"Like a date designed to remind us of all the things we love."
Jess was amazing to work with, easygoing, and prepared. She made our photo session seem more like a date designed to remind us of all the things we love about each other. The photos were beautiful and looked like images from a fairytale. I would recommend her to anyone who not only wants gorgeous photos, but a fun experience as well!
"Sweet, Creative, Adventurous"
Jess is easily one of the best photographers I’ve ever worked with. She is so sweet, creative, adventurous, relaxing to be around, and she really knows what she’s doing!! Some of the photos she took are easily my favorite photos of myself, I love them so much!
