How about a wedding day that feels
genuine, unhurried,
& absolutely epic?
Cheers to the couples
who crave experiences over expectation
Here’s 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 — “Life is about the journey, not the destination” — there is a destination you’ve dreaming of.
One that will start the greatest journey of your life!
But you might be feeling…..
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 — even if it doesn’t 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, I’m Jenn!
— 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 doesn’t need to be louder, bigger, or more elaborate to be meaningful or “right”.
I’m drawn to couples who value being present over being perfect, and choosing experiences over expectations.
In addition to documenting your incredible day, I’m here to take the burden of planning off your shoulders. Trust me, I know about decision paralysis and overwhelm!
That’s why I:
Streamline my booking process to make it straightforward and simple.
Really get to know you and your partner — 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.
It’s really important to me that your day doesn’t fall into a blur of “too much” or “what ifs”. 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 moments— like when standing near the edge of a cliff at sunset, knowing
you’re right where you’re supposed to 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.”
“Jenn 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.”

“If you’re looking for a photographer who will go above and beyond (literally, up a mountain!), Jenn is the one.”
“Jenn 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 you’re looking for a photographer who will go above and beyond (literally, up a mountain!), Jenn is the one. We couldn’t be happier with our photos or the experience!

A Colorado Waterfall-Hiking Elopement
You deserve a personalized itinerary that reflects your unique journey—whether that’s sunrise vows on a quiet mountaintop, a laid-back midday hike through wildflower trails, or a sunset picnic overlooking desert cliffs (or all three!). We’ll buffer in time to rest, explore, and pivot if needed, because this is a day to be fully present and at your own pace.
No cookie-cutter

Let’s take the path less traveled
You want a real adventure with real connection in a wild landscape — 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, I’ll help guide every step in your ideal day so you can stay present in the excitement!
After sharing your hopes, dreams, and preferences, you’re presented with a completely personalized itinerary that is tailored specifically for you two.
Your personalized adventure elopement might look something like…
7:00 a.m. — Getting Ready Photos
Wake in a cozy mountain cabin and enjoy first light with your favorite cup of joe and a breakfast burrito. I’ll join a bit later for getting ready photos and writing vows by lantern light.
8:00 a.m. — First Look Photos
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. – Morning Hiking Adventure
The journey begins as you jump in your lifted Jeep and drive to a hiking trailhead. As we leisurely pass alpine meadows, pine forests, and golden Aspens, we pause for snacks, water, and magical candid photos along the way
10:30 AM – Vow and Ring Exchange
Arrive at a crystal-clear lake, surrounded by rocky peaks and the changing colors of fall. It’s 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. – Alpine Picnic + IPA Toast
Break out your picnic on a blanket—maybe gourmet sandwiches, fruit, and of course, your favorite Colorado IPA. A cheers to the journey you’ve already had and the one ahead!
12:30 p.m – Chill Time
After portraits and fun candid photos, we begin the trek back to your Airbnb for some R&R!
5:00 PM – Sunset Jeep Adventure
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 – 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 didn’t waste a second of this day.
Ok so you’ve got a photographer and personalized guidance.
What else?
I’m glad you asked! Each package includes:
Location scouting:
Before your big day, I’ll be boots-on-the-ground in both your dream place and a few backups, so we can roll with weather or other unexpected variables if needed!
Logistics Keeping
This day isn’t for you to check on the time, vendors, or anything else. That’s what I’m here for! This is a day for you to be completely present. Where we need to be and when is something you’ll never have to worry about.
Researching & Obtaining Permits
Let’s be honest—this isn’t something you want to think about even on a general day, much less your wedding. I’ll make sure everything is good to go so you can keep exploring without worry!
Vendor Recommendations
From hair & make-up to florists, officiants, Airbnbs, and more—I’d be honored to help save you time and stress by recommending dependable, awesome local vendors.
All travel within the continental U.S.!

Bobby pins? Snacks? First Aid kit? Got it. Lint rollers, hand warmers, headlamps, and flat-lay accessories to complement your ring photos are just a few of the other doo-dads you’ll find.
A friend to stand by you, guide you, and hype you!
A Few More Sweet Benefits
I’m excited to include!
Not many photographers offer such a quick turnaround for edits, but you deserve to wake up the next day with more than just a few phone selfies! This means you can immediately celebrate and share the day with friends, family, or just yourselves to relive the magic!
24-Hour Sneak Peeks!
Sometimes a certain photo just feels dramatic, raw, and deeply intimate, and the lighting fits for a timeless look. I convert a select number of images to black and white to keep alongside your full-color keepsakes. That way you have a variety to choose from for albums, wall frames, etc.
Black & White Edits
Not all of your memories have to be only a moment! I love taking a motion scene — like twirling, a dip, running down a trail, or popping champagne — to create a lovable GIF you can send to your loved ones! This movement adds an extra touch of fun nostalgia and emotion you can relive for years to come!
At least one GIF!
The moment when your dream becomes reality.

Let’s 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 you’re 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. I’m happy to accommodate groups up to 30; any more than that, logistics can get tricky, but happy to still chat if there’s a different dream you envision.
Keep in mind that some location permits only allow up to 15.
