Close your eyes and imagine your wedding day.

Do you picture your wedding day spent shuffling from one event to the next — a packed timeline, spending your only downtime to capture stiff poses, and catering to a room full of guests you barely get to talk to?


Or do you imagine something different?


A day where you wake up slowly in a cozy mountain cabin… hike to a Blue Ridge overlook for sunrise vows… wander through a mossy forest… splash around a waterfall… share a bottle of champagne in your hot tub under the stars… and actually get to breathe in every moment together.


If the second option makes your heart beat a little faster — you’re in the right place.


I help couples ditch the pressure-filled wedding rulebook and craft an intentional, adventurous elopement day in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Eastern TN, Western NC, and Northern GA & SC. Your elopement isn’t just a quick ceremony — it’s an experience, a memory, and a story you’ll relive for a lifetime.

Welcome, wild hearts.


You’re not here for the big ballroom or the cookie-cutter ceremony—and neither am I.


This elopement experience expands way beyond photography. You can expect extensive planning guidance, vendor recommendations and officiating. Celebratory local snacks and elaborate florals effortlessly elevate your day. These packages are created with intention to minimize the headache of wedding planning, without sacrificing a personalized experience.


Lets chat to see how we can create something magical together.

  • You are an advocate for adventure. For me, adventure is anything that deviates from the norm, gets you excited, and creates room for the unknown. Lets deviate from the traditional wedding timeline and have some fun!
  • You value an inclusive environment. Queer, diverse, neurodivergent, and alternative couples can feel comfortable knowing that I go above and beyond to create a safe space for you.
  • You have a soft heart for small businesses, and a high bar for quality. You can trust you are in good hands with me, and anyone I refer to you.
  • You don't want to deal with multiple vendors. You are in luck. I am a one-woman wonder - Photographer? You bet. Officiant? Always yes. Planner? Of course. Florist? Absolutely. New best friend? I can't wait.

"I would use Jen for every occasion if I could. Her package was EXACTLY what we were looking for. If you want your day to be stress free so you can just focus on your partner, she is the perfect fit. Jen is thoughtful & professional, but also has a presence that puts you at ease. I don’t know anything about weddings and frankly didn’t want to know, I just wanted to do it and have beautiful photos. She came in with a “don’t worry, I’ve got it covered” air about her that immediately told me we were in safe hands. Her package was perfect for us. The unique photography style she has is exactly what we were looking for & couldn’t be happier with our photos. I hate being the center of attention but she knows how to comfortably guide you and made me feel way less awkward than I typically would. Would legit be her friend. She’s awesome! Book her if you want an incredible, stress free experience!"

"Jennifer has so much to offer and definitely exceeded our expectations. She officiated, photographed, and even helped us plan our elopement. She was always available with any questions or concerns we had at any point during the planning. I really appreciated the organized emails and things to expect. She was super flexible and did everything in her power to make our vision come true ! Her photography style matched our personality and she knew how to capture every moment ! The pictures came back a lot faster than expected ! She made our day super special <3 we couldn’t have done it without her. Definitely would hire her again for future shoots!"

I. Contact Jen to explore packages

Considering an adventure elopement and want to talk through your ideas? Schedule your free consult call with me! You don't need a date or location picked out yet. I am happy to brainstorm with you, answer all your questions, and help you decide if an all inclusive package is the right pick for you.

II. Plan your dream elopement day

Once you pick a package and pay the retainer, we will start planning! We will explore location and activity options and create a plan you will actually look forward to. All my packages include access to interactive budgeting and planning tools, a detailed day-of timeline, and personalized recommendations based on your interests. I am here to support you start to finish.

III. Create and relive your memories

On the elopement day, I will facilitate our plan so all you have to do is sit back and enjoy it! After the elopement, you will receive your sneak peeks within 24-48 hours, and final gallery within 4-6 weeks. I will make sure you have everything you need to request additional edits, download and print high quality prints, etc. By then, I hope we are friends so you keep me updated with all your big milestones!  

FAQ

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes! For all packages, a 25% retainer is required to book. The remaining balance is split between 3 payments due 90 days, 60 days, and 30 days before your wedding date.

If you'd like an extended payment plan, a 25% retainer is still required to book, but the remaining balance will be split between 45 days prior, two weeks prior, two weeks post wedding date.

How many guests can I have?

These all-inclusive packages are designed for small groups up to 10 people (the couple + 8 guests).

For larger groups, I offer photography-only packages for microweddings with up to 50 guests.

Do you help with planning?

Yes! All packages receive a day-of timeline, local vendor recommendations, and access to my interactive wedding planning tool. Larger packages receive more hands-on planning support including personalized itineraries.

What is your turn around time?

Average turn around to receive your gallery is 4-6 weeks. Priority gallery delivery can be added bringing turnaround up 2-3 weeks.

What is the difference between Standard and Premium locations?

Standard locations are accessible options within a 20 miles radius of AVL including parks, downtown, private residences, or some BRP overlooks. Premium locations include scenic options like mountain views requiring hiking, waterfall trails, or expanded travel throughout WNC, SC, Eastern TN, and Northern GA.

How many photos can I expect?

All packages come with all digital photos that I believe add to your wedding story. There is a minimum that you can expect, but on average I deliver 50 photos per hour of photography.

"Jen was absolutely amazing and everything we could have hoped for for our mountain elopement! I found her on TikTok and was immediately drawn to her after seeing that she advertised herself as LGBTQ+ friendly. As a gay couple, finding wedding vendors can sometimes feel a little nerve-racking, so that immediately made us feel more comfortable. She is truly one of the sweetest people, incredibly professional, and you can tell how passionate she is about what she does. My wife and I felt so comfortable working with her, and our pictures turned out even better than we could have imagined!"

"Jennifer was absolutely amazing! Not only did she make us feel comfortable and relaxed, but she also captured the most stunning photos. It was so hot and sweaty that day, but you’d never know from the pictures—she worked her magic! Her eye for detail, lighting, and composition is incredible. We couldn’t be happier with the experience and the final images. Highly recommend!"
