Colorado Elopement
Photographer & Navigator
The greatest adventure of your life starts now
Congratulations!! Youāve found the love of your life and have taken your first steps on one of lifeās most incredible journeys. Hopefully you feel crazy-excited, but understandably maybe a little overwhelmed as well. Glad youāre here, because Iād like to put your mind at ease. Getting to the point of saying āI doā doesnāt have to feel like jumping out of a plane ā though we can certainly do that on your elopement dayā¦
What if all you had to do on your wedding day was show up ā completely confident, present, & psyched?
Hey adventurers ā Iām Jenn! Iām a photographer based in a small mountain town near Aspen, Colorado, and the moments I love capturing most happen to be your love in the moment.
But Iām not only here to capture the once-in-a-lifetime. The other half of my role for you is being the adventure buddy who hypes you, encourages you, guides you, and genuinely cares about your preferences and story. There are a lot of details that go into that one epic shot, but thatās for me to take on, and you to relax.
Seriously, weāre gonna make the wedding planning fun. No way? āYahweh.ā
(Jesus is my jam ā couldnāt help myself!)
Having lived in Colorado for over a decade and frequently hopping over to Utah for desert adventure, Iāve got a backpack full of secret spots, amazing vendors, and epic activities Iām just waiting to share with you. If youāre looking to escape perfect planning and would rather have a day full of unrushed, authentic memories in nature, youāre in the right place!
Meet your Elopement Navigator
Youāre in the right place ifā¦
You care more about how your day feels rather than how it looks.
You crave both unforgettable adventure and quiet moments for reflection and presence together.
You want an experience that feels easy and unforced, where candid, natural prompts rule over perfect poses.
Scratch perfection altogether! You want a day you can just be yourselves without performing.
You trust the process and arenāt limited to expectations or ridged timelines.
You donāt worry about a little rain on your parade; in fact youād embrace it just to be in the moment!
Youāre looking for someone who hears your story, understands your vision, and will create an experience uniquely personal to you two!
Picture this:
You start the day at sunrise, off-roading to a wilderness area where few other people are seen.
You say private vows and pop champagne for morning mimosas amongst a field of wildflowers.
You continue on to a sparkling lake, where you spend the afternoon paddle-boarding, napping, and snacking picnic-style.
As the sun sets, you capture a few golden hour portraits before setting up camp.
In the twilight, you crack your favorite beer and have your first dance next to a campfire.
As night falls, you cozy up with blankets to watch the milky way and shooting stars.
Love letters from eloping couples

"If youāre looking for a photographer who will go above and beyond (literally, up a mountain!), Jenn is the one."
"Jenn is absolutely incredible! Three years after our wedding, my husband and I finally got the photos we always dreamed of ā and Jenn made the experience unforgettable. She hiked with us up a trail while I wore my wedding dress, and even captured breathtaking shots of us climbing a waterfall. She not only has an amazing eye for photography but also the kindest, most adventurous spirit. Jenn made us feel comfortable, inspired, and like we were reliving our wedding day in the most unique way possible. If youāre looking for a photographer who will go above and beyond (literally, up a mountain!), Jenn is the one. We couldnāt be happier with our photos or the experience!"

"I highly recommend SoJourney Photography if you want the best experience and the best photos."
"Jenn, the best photographer Iāve ever had the pleasure of working with, is incredibly professional and well-prepared. She takes the time to listen to your vision and brings it to life in every way possible. From the moment we arrived at the location, she meticulously considers every detail, from the best spots to capture the perfect photos to the most flattering poses. She's made both an absolute dream. I highly recommend SoJourney Photography if you want the best experience and the best photos."

"Jenn's athleticism, can-do attitude and keen eye for color, light and angle made her the perfect photographer for our wedding."
"Our wedding required a photographer to wake up early, hike up hill with gear AND rappel through a canyon with that gear. Jenn's athleticism, can-do attitude and keen eye for color, light and angle made her the perfect photographer for our wedding. She went out of her way to capture small moments and candid interactions to ensure that we could go back and revisit that day with a clarity I have yet to see matched. I would highly recommend Jen to anyone serious about capturing exactly what their wedding felt like."

"My partner and I were both worried about being in front of the camera the whole day but she made the day extremely relaxing and pleasant!"
"We had such a great day with Jenn and the photos turned out amazing ! š She organized a super fun day in multiple great locations and set up a picnic for us to enjoy. My partner and I were both worried about being in front of the camera the whole day but she made the day extremely relaxing and pleasant! We had time to enjoy the nature and each other and her flexibility with the plan made it for a lot of fun moments, relaxing down time, and some very awesome photos! Super thankful for her talent and personality and her planning. This would be a great experience for an elopement or just couples wanting to do a whole adventure out in nature while capturing all the memories!"

Please tell me you want to burst out the Hercules song now! As someone who has summited many of Coloradoās 14,000-foot mountains, hiked miles in deserts, jungles, and snowy terrain with a heavy pack, and climbed in and out of canyons for the shot: neither height, nor depth, nor distance will deter me from getting the wild, epic photos youāve been dreaming of! I have a deep understanding of different destinations during different times of the year, and love seeking out the more hidden, extraordinary spotsāaway from crowds and cliches.

Letās be honest, weather (esp. in Colorado!) can be as unpredictable as your mother-in-law (donāt worryāwe can keep that between us!). Iām thinking of every aspect of your experience and absolutely everything that could sidestep what weāve planned. From detailed itineraries, packing tips, and travel guidance, to extra snacks and rain coats, Iām your Mary Poppins for the unexpected. But hereās another honest truth: the BEST photos often come from the unexpected!

Man Iām on a Disney roll!
Feeling overwhelmed? Iāve got you. Next to getting the best photos possible for you is my desire to create an experience where you feel comfortable, supported, prepared, and confident. Iām here for you for any questions, concerns, or ideas throughout the processālike the best friend you didnāt know you needed! Iām also working behind the scenes to make sure all the details are hashed out, and finding little ways to personalize your experience. Additionally, I provide assistance in planning, permits, and connections to vendors.

From deserts to tundras to mountains to oceansāhow amazing is it that we can all enjoy these stunning landscapes! When you book with me, youāre booking with someone who knows what to look out for in local terraināthings like trail restoration, cryptobiotic soil, sand dunes, land permits, and rock scree. I aim to get us to those less-traveled places while respecting the environment and honoring the leave-no-trace principle for minimizing human impact in the outdoors.

Sure, the location, activities, and atmosphere will be incredible! But the most important thing I aim to document is your story together. I donāt want you to just see these photographs years later; I want you to feel them. So before we even begin our journey, Iāll get to know more about you two and your vision together. Iāll ask questions and go over ideas, but most importantly, Iāll listen. I want this journey to be a positive and memorable effect long after the day ends.
Photography that is
vivid, bold, & true.
The way your love story should be.
