Elopements are an incredible way to fuse together everything you love about doing life with your person and celebrate your relationship in a genuine, meaningful way. They allow you to put your marriage first. To release any pressure or judgment and just be you, together.
And when you choose an adventure elopement, you’re adding exploration, excitement, and new experiences to that mix, too (does it get any better than that?!). Not only are you committing your life to someone you love more than anything, but you’re starting the adventure of a lifetime with an adventure of a lifetime.
And because I’ll be there to help you craft the whole thing, and document it as it unfolds, you can relive your best day ever; over and over, forever.
Is Just Getting Started
Your Greatest Adventure Yet
Simply put, an elopement is anything you and your partner want it to be. Because that’s all that matters.
Eloping is not…selfish | pressure to meet expectations | outdated traditions | running away to wed | about anyone else
Eloping is…a celebration of your love | presence over performance | a once-in-a-lifetime adventure | a wedding focused purely on the two of you
the truth about eloping
let's clear some things up
+ Chartering a private helicopter to fly over Alaskan glaciers all-day
+ An African safari with elephants, lions, and hippos as your only guests
+ Summiting a mountain together with a picnic at the top
+ Off-roading in a jacked-up Jeep
+ Renting a gorgeous A-frame cabin in the woods and simply experiencing the wonders of the outdoors together
+ Grabbing your dogs and hitting the road for a road trip through Utah’s national parks
If it lights you up and makes you feel alive, it’s an adventure. And if you come out one spouse richer, it’s an adventure elopement.
An adventure elopement is what happens when you combine travel and exploration with “I do!” It doesn’t always mean hiking to the top of a mountain or sailing off into the Santorini sea. It could also look like…
So What Is An Adventure Elopement?
Photography was my first love. And not in a cheesy overly dramatic way, but in a “this lights me up and makes me feel fully alive” sort of way. There’s just something magical that happens when you’re watching a moment unfold from behind your lens and you click “capture.” Freezing that moment in time, exactly as it was, and carrying it with you for the rest of your life.
The beautiful thing about photography is that if there’s a moment you never want to forget, you don’t have to.
I’ll admit, I initially thought I’d be trapezing around the world shooting for National Geographic (what photographer doesn’t?), but helping incredible, adventurous couples bring their wildest ideas to life – all over the globe — has quickly become my favorite thing.
So if you like traveling, experiencing new places, and adventuring with the person you’ve chosen to spend the rest of your life with — something tells me we’re going to get along just fine (and I can’t wait to be part of your story).
And I’m here to bring your biggest “that would be so cool” ideas to life
Hey, I'm Jayne
6-10 weeks later, you’ll receive a robust digital gallery of gorgeous images from your day — telling the complete story of your adventure, from every angle and perspective you could think of. And then we’ll say our see you laters and you’ll ride off into the proverbial sunset, ready to take on your next adventure together.

This is probably your first adventure elopement, so it’d be a little weird if you knew exactly how to bring it to life. Luckily for you, it’s definitely not my first — and planning them from scratch is sort of my jam. That’s why every package comes with the following included:
* Unlimited planning help from start to finish — I’ll help you choose where to get married, what to wear when you do, how to get there, where to stay, and which vendors to book
* My elopement inspiration guide — 90 pages of my best tips, tricks, and ideas so you can get inspired and think outside the box
* Logistics planning and permit research — Because nothing kills the vibe quite like getting to your location and not having permission to elope there
* Custom timeline planning — So that you can ditch the watch on the day of and stay totally present (without worrying about missing a single thing)
There’s a whole lot more in store if you decide to make this official. But just know that I’ve already thought of everything so that you don’t have to.

Not Sure How To Plan An Elopement?
A wedding film can be an incredible addition to your elopement story. Not only will you have photos to have and to hold, but you’ll also have a film you can rewatch and reminisce on for decades to come. And the cool thing about our films is that we’re not just documenting your day from the ground—we’re taking to the skies for breathtaking drone footage that adds dimension, depth, and perspective to the retelling of your story.
PS: Drone and video footage can be added to any package. Just let us know you’re interested when you inquire.

Other Things I Can Help With
Summer
She helped us plan our whole day, made sure we were prepared for all conditions and more importantly just a great FRIEND to share our day with! Jayne was always quick to respond and made the booking and planning process a breeze. She made sure we were enjoying our day and gave us some private time at each location to fully enjoy our surroundings. Jaynes' charisma and excitement throughout the day just helped make our day that much more enjoyable! When it came time for our last location it started pouring rain... but we still wanted the last shot of a champagne pop on the cliffside. So she grabbed us some umbrellas, got herself geared up and we trekked out to the cliff in the torrential rain and took what probably are some of my favorite pictures of the day. She sent us sneak peaks quickly and the full album so fast. She captured our day perfectly and got so many amazing shots. Jayne is truly the best without a doubt. We couldn't imagine sharing our day with anyone else!

Working with Jayne was an absolute joy from start to finish. When we decided to elope, my husband and I really had no idea what we were doing or what we were trying to plan, we just knew how we wanted our day to feel. From the first call together, talking to Jayne was like talking with a friend. She provided us with lots of great ideas, recommendations, and support to help us plan a day that was special and uniquely “us”. When the day came and we all finally met Jayne was enthusiastic, professional, and lots of fun! She made us feel super comfortable and knew exactly the balance of involvement vs giving us space to create our own moments. Her turnaround time for the photos was extremely fast and we were BLOWN AWAY from the first look. She captured the day perfectly and gave us photos and memories that we’ll cherish. 11/10 recommendation! Thank you, Jayne!

WHAT A PLEASURE it was to work with her. Cannot recommend her enough. Jayne had an introduction call with us and worked through our continuously changing ideas and locations. We settled on what we thought was our elopement location. Only to realize it didn't quite work. Jayne was considerate, flexible, and communicative with us. Jayne planned out the perfect hike in a new location, sent over all of the documentation for my Type A self to feel secure and excited, and walked us through everything.
Jayne met us at 3am at our hiking spot, prepared and ready to go. She even brought some of the things she instructed us to bring, like a bluetooth speaker. (thank you, you're an angel!). We both felt super comfortable being shot by Jayne, and her charisma made it all the more fun and enjoyable. She's the right amount of lively and laid back. We got our sneak peek back very quickly and it was FULL of incredible photos I will cherish forever. Honestly, I've worked with friends of mine who are well known photographers, and Jayne's talent surpassed those photos. I was astonished at how well they turned out.

Through that she shared such empathy as well as profound joy and excitement for our day. She folded right into our intimate family wedding and remained flexible about all of the things we imagined and many many many changed plans. The photos she took were absolutely stunning and everything we wanted, in addition to being an anchor for us throughout our entire wedding process. I am so grateful to her for holding such real and beautiful space for our family.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you for everything you did for us. Our wedding day was so unbelievably perfect and magical in every way thanks in HUGE part to you. We loved every minute of it. My husband and I eloped in May 2021 in the Pacific Northwest and Jayne made this whole experience extraordinary. Jayne was such a pleasure to work with and helped provide endless STELLAR recommendations for everything from the Airbnb we stayed at to flowers and videography to the most stunning locations. She literally planned our entire experience and it could NOT have gone any better. She even provided us recommendations for the rest of our trip (breweries, kayaking, etc). We can't recommend Jayne enough. 10/10!! I can't imagine our wedding day without her.
"We are still in awe of this entire experience. Jayne was extremely professional while also being a joy."

"When you choose a wedding photographer, you want someone who is giddy to talk details with you..."
gracie & zach
On our big day we hiked around one of our favorite mountains, listened to great music, and generally marinated in our love. The photo results are drool worthy and a heartwarming reminder of how amazing I felt on that day. Overall I give our experience with Jayne an enthusiastic 10/10. Elope with Jayne!
"When you choose a wedding photographer, you want someone who is giddy to talk details with you, who gawks when she sees pictures of your dress, and who gasps out loud when she gets THE SHOT."

When we saw some of the couples' collections we realized we had a special possibility in our hands. We were able to snag her for a day of shooting at the Oregon coast for our engagement photos. Whether it was venturing out onto Natural Bridge, scaling down a cliffside with rope and ideas, or generally wandering through the area, she had a great eye for those special shots that caught our natural adventurous and playful interactions. We never felt we had to be posed though she was also able to offer guidelines when needed. We especially love her aspect of creating double exposures where she superimposes the two of you over a background from the same area. The wedding photos were amazing as well, particularly considering she was shooting into a setting sun. To add to the cherry on top she accompanied us after our honeymoon up into the mountains to get some more special shots in suit and gown.
"If you're looking for an adventure photographer who will have a view from your photos that goes beyond the standard, Jayne is a wonderful choice!"

Wow! Just...wow!! My husband and I spent a recent afternoon on top of a mountain with Jayne, our amazing and talented wedding photographer, to try to capture some beautiful post-wedding shots of us in our wedding attire after we returned from our honeymoon. We anticipated some great shots for a couple of reasons, including the fact that Jayne took INCREDIBLE wedding day shots the month prior (seriously, folks...gorgeous), as well as the fact that the beautiful and moody Mt. Shasta was our backdrop (holy cow, so majestic). What we received a couple weeks later was a broad collection of frame-worthy shots that had both my husband and I repeatedly saying "Whoa! These are stunning!" As someone who feels more comfortable behind the camera than in front of one I always feel nervous about getting my photos taken, but with Jayne it was just so easy and natural. She's so down to earth and easy to talk to, which really helps to create a relaxed and fun photo shoot. Her work really speaks for itself! She's the real deal if you want unique, striking, artfully captured images of you and your Love. Look no further than Jayne for your adventure wedding/elopement photography needs.
"Jayne and our mountain-top wedding photos have exceeded our expectations in every possible way."
