For the couples who want a day that feels like them
New Hampshire Elopement Photographer
So you ditched tradition and chose to adventure in nEW HAMPSHIRE INSTEAD?
You're wanting an elopement where you move at your own pace. Mountaintop vows finished with a quiet lakeside escape before winding down with your fave cocktails at an a-frame cabin.
But after hours down the elopement rabbit hole, you don’t feel any more prepared.. just completely overwhelmed.
Eloping doesnt mean winging it
That’s why I exist: as your Elopement Photographer in New Hampshire, im here to make this badass choice feel easy.
Hey, im Jess,
If this is the energy you’ve been hunting for, welcome !
Let’s be honest: you’re ditching the big wedding because the second you started planning, it stopped being about you two and turned into a circus of seating charts, distant relatives, and opinions you never asked for. Suddenly you’re debating linen colors with someone you barely know and crying over napkin folds. Hard pass.
Eloping? That’s you taking your power back.
It’s you choosing a day where you can breathe, hold hands, and actually feel something other than stress.
And New Hampshire? She’s the queen of disappearing into the woods and making the day exactly what you want. Mountains, waterfalls, private vows, zero judgment, and zero drama.
That’s where I come in.

'Shes so much more than a photographer. I truly think of her as a friend and someone who witnessed the best day of our lives.'
"'WOW WOW WOW is seriously the only words I have to describe our time with Jess. She makes you feel so comfortable and knows exactly how to make you feel confident and really take in the moments. Her work speaks for itself and I was blown away by the moments she captured during our day. I cannot wait until I have a reason to book her again. Shes so much more than a photographer. I truly think of her as a friend and someone who witnessed the best day of our lives.

'She takes her job seriously and leaves no stones unturned. You can completely trust that she’s got you covered '
"I can’t say enough good things about working with Jess. She photographed our elopement this past June and I couldn’t have been happier with the photos. She captured the day perfectly. Aside from her creative talent, Jess was amazing to work with. She is a true professional. She takes her job seriously and leaves no stones unturned. You can completely trust that she’s got you covered (which is a Bride’s dream). She also sent an adorable “thank you” package which was unexpected and so sweet. I highly highly recommend Jess to capture any of your special moments."

'SHe does more than just take a photo'
"Where do I even start! Jess captured our wedding and to say we were obsessed in an understatement. She was so helpful during the planning process right through to wedding day. She does more than just 'take a photo', she put out fires before I even knew about them, she bustled my dress when my hooks weren't working.. she's just all around the best person to have in your corner on your wedding day!"

Absolutely! While elopements are often intimate by nature, you can definitely invite a few loved ones to join you in New Hampshire. Whether it’s saying your vows on a quiet mountaintop, by a serene lake, or in a cozy forest, having a small group can make the day feel extra special. Just keep in mind that some outdoor locations—like state parks or popular trails—may have rules about group sizes or permits, so planning ahead is key. No matter the size of your guest list, the focus stays on you two and creating a day that truly feels yours.
It depends on where you choose to say your vows! Many outdoor locations in New Hampshire—like state parks, waterfalls, and popular hiking trails—require a permit for weddings or elopements, especially if you have guests or professional vendors. Some spots, like remote mountaintops or less-trafficked areas, may not need one. The best approach is to check with the local park office, forest service, or town office ahead of time so you can have peace of mind and focus on your day.
You get to decide how adventurous you want your day to feel. Some of the most beautiful spots require only a short walk, while others involve a moderate hike for more privacy and dramatic scenery. I help you choose locations that match your comfort level, abilities, and the overall vibe you want, so you never feel pushed beyond what feels fun and doable for you.
