a selection of real couples,
authentic elopements, and honest reviews
I hike beside you, watch the skies, and make room for the kind of moments you’ll feel in your bones. I create the spaces where tradition can’t reach you, where the land is respected, and where you’re free to laugh, cry, and soak it all in. Because I'm all in on your images serving as proof that your day was lived fully, with mud on your boots, wind in your hair, and vows that echo long after you speak them.
I don't just show up with a camera and tell people how to stand.
"Jesslyn made our wedding day exactly what we hoped with her in depth park knowledge, amazing photography skills, and kind and unassuming manner to make our day everything she hoped. We were very thankful to have been with her. If I were to do it all over again, I'd change nothing."

"The authenticity and genuineness came through in your photos and we feel so, so, so lucky that we got to work with you and have these amazing photos to look back on. We feel that our investment to work with you was worth its weight in gold and still talk about how it is one of the best decisions we ever made."

You won't find stiff posing or awkward prompts here, and I will never ask you to do something you are not comfortable with. I prefer to get creatively curious and receive permission rather than forcefully command and direct. You and your partner know best what is natural and how you interact with one another, I'm here to give guidance and document the moments as they unfold.
My candid approach to elopement photography relies on careful observation and gentle guidance.
