How about a wedding day that feels
genuine, unhurried,
& absolutely epic?
Cheers to the couples
who crave experiences over expectation
Hereβs to you, daring, bold, and true. You who stands on snow-capped peaks and ventures through wildflowers valleys; who trades perfection for presence; and who feels most alive in candid connection. Though wise Ralph Waldo Emerson once stated β βLife is about the journey, not the destinationβ β there is a destination youβve dreaming of.
One that will start the greatest journey of your life!
But you might be feelingβ¦..
Unsure how to plan something simple without it feeling small
A little nervous about being in front of the camera
Ready to do this your own way β even if it doesnβt make sense to everyone else
Excited⦠but also overwhelmed by all the options
You want a day that feels natural and unhurried, but also freaking epic.
I hear you, because I crave those things too.
Hey, Iβm Jenn!
β a Colorado-based adventure elopement photographer for couples who want a stress-free experience and an adventure defined in their own way. Some couples come to me dreaming of glaciers, ropes, and technical terrain. Others just simply want a quiet trail and relaxing picnic. No matter the vision, I believe your wedding day doesnβt need to be louder, bigger, or more elaborate to be meaningful or βrightβ.
Iβm drawn to couples who value being present over being perfect, and choosing experiences over expectations.
In addition to documenting your incredible day, Iβm here to take the burden of planning off your shoulders. Trust me, I know about decision paralysis and overwhelm!
Thatβs why I:
Streamline my booking process to make it straightforward and simple.
Really get to know you and your partner β your hopes, non-negotiables, favorite snacks, etc.
Create a personalized itinerary that reflects your vision.
Build in both awesome adventure and downtime of space and quiet, so you have room to really take it in.
Itβs really important to me that your day doesnβt fall into a blur of βtoo muchβ or βwhat ifsβ. I also want you to be completely confident throughout the process, so you can
let go of it all and have a freaking blast during best day of your life!
Some of the most powerful moments happen in the quiet momentsβ like when standing near the edge of a cliff at sunset, knowing
youβre right where youβre supposed to be.

βShe 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.β
βJenn was amazing at capturing my wedding. She was able to document the exact thrill of the moment for us to keep forever. Jenn not only took beautiful photos for us, she was also an absolute strong hold of positive energy and hype. 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. Looking back, I really appreciate the way Jenn recognized how truly precious the memories from that day would be. 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.β

βIf youβre looking for a photographer who will go above and beyond (literally, up a mountain!), Jenn is the one.β
βJenn is absolutely incredible! 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 youβre looking for a photographer who will go above and beyond (literally, up a mountain!), Jenn is the one. We couldnβt be happier with our photos or the experience!

Letβs take the path less traveled
You want a real adventure with real connection in a wild landscape β one that may involve:
Unpredictability over perfection
Flexibility over ridgid timelines
Hidden gems over that popular Instagram backdrop
A muddy dress, soaked boots, and windblown hair
As a fellow adventurer who values these things as well, Iβll help guide every step in your ideal day so you can stay present in the excitement!
After sharing your hopes, dreams, and preferences, youβre presented with a completely personalized itinerary that is tailored specifically for you two.
Your personalized adventure elopement might look something likeβ¦

As sunrise begins to peek over the peaks, you get a first look at the love of your life under a grove of golden Aspen trees.
9:00 a.m. β Morning Hiking Adventure

10:30 AM β Vow and Ring Exchange
Arrive at a crystal-clear lake, surrounded by rocky peaks and the changing colors of fall. Itβs quiet, serene, and completely wild. You read your vows and exchange rings with the sound of water and wind as your backdrop.
11:30 a.m. β Alpine Picnic + IPA Toast
Break out your picnic on a blanketβmaybe gourmet sandwiches, fruit, and of course, your favorite Colorado IPA. A cheers to the journey youβve already had and the one ahead!

After portraits and fun candid photos, we begin the trek back to your Airbnb for some R&R!

You take a scenic drive up a mountain pass to catch the last rays of the day. We pull off for epic golden hour photos with dramatic peaks and river views.
6:00 PM β Private Dinner + Campfire
Pop some champagne on the tailgate, then settle in for a cozy lantern-lit dinner as the sun dips behind the mountaintops. At twilight, you share your first dance in the headlights and applaud that you didnβt waste a second of this day.
Ok so youβve got a photographer and personalized guidance.

Letβs start planning your dream elopement!
Where is your dream taking you?
Hey, one last thing:
Bring your peeps!
Haley and Ralfy had an intimate canyoneering adventure together before meeting up with their wedding party, family, and friends at an easily accessible ceremony spot!
If youβre ready to kickstart your epic elopement but still feeling a little down at the thought of grandma, parents, and/or friends not being there, then invite them! The traditional elopement atmosphere usually leans to just a couple, but not in my book. I believe this experience can be even better shared with loved ones, and you can still get your intimate adventure before or after meeting up with the party. Iβm happy to accommodate groups up to 30; any more than that, logistics can get tricky, but happy to still chat if thereβs a different dream you envision.
Keep in mind that some location permits only allow up to 15.
