You know when someone steps up to the microphone to give a speech and they take a long, poignant pause? I feel like that’s what I’m doing right now -- because whenever I start talking about marriage, the mood in the room changes.
I’m THAT passionate about capturing marriages that are more beautiful than even the wedding day itself.
You not only want phenomenal images, but you want to create a marriage that’s a force to be reckoned with.
TO THE ADVENTUROUS, SPIRITED, OUTDOORSY & WILDLY IN LOVE
this is so me!
Takes the time to get to know you and your story
MAKES YOU GUYS ACTUALLY LAUGH
CAPTURES THE WAY HE LOOKS AT YOU WHEN YOU’RE NOT LOOKING
DELIVERS AN ENTIRE WEDDING GALLERY FULL OF JAW-DROPPING PHOTOS
TOUCHES UP YOUR HAIR & MAKEUP SO YOU CAN FEEL CAREFREE
LETS YOU BE COMPLETELY YOURSELVES AND HIGHLIGHTS YOUR CONNECTION
SHARES YOUR VALUES
ENCOURAGES YOU TO BE YOUR MOST CONFIDENT SELF ON YOUR BIG DAY
Trust me, I get it...
You want a photographer who:
Stays awkwardly quiet throughout the ENTIRE DAY, LURKING AROUND...
Still relies on the prom pose
Misses those unrepeatable, candid moments OF THE DAY
Delivers a WEDDING gallery with only a few good shots (ughhh)
Seems to somehow highlight the things you feel insecure about
Waits for direction from you and leaves you feeling stressed
And you don't want someone who:
A full wedding day gallery of magazine-worthy photos that tell your story and match the emotions and memories of your day
Assistance with obtaining the needed permits if shooting in a national park, etc.
A wedding day timeline completely planned out for you (plus, the best gourmet food + craft coffee recs sprinkled in at the bottom, because ya know... #priorities)
Regular communication and check-ins leading up to your day (go ahead, add my number to your Favorites!)
Vendor suggestions to connect you with the best local florists, videographers, private chefs, charcuterie board markers... or shoot, even a helicopter pilot... who are local to the area you plan to elope
(Okay, make that 3-for-1)... you can also add-on hair & makeup by either my fav stylists, or myself if we're going off grid! (I'm a former artist and pageant queen who will help you feel naturally radiant in front of the camera)
Ongoing planning assistance so you can look forward to tying the knot without drama or stress...I’m basically a 2-for-1!
Don’t sweat it! You’ll receive guidance and support for location selection via consultation and an in-depth document. The goal is to help you choose a backdrop that adds to the meaning and beauty of your day.
It’s a joy and an honor to be part of your celebration, and it’s a responsibility I don’t take lightly. I approach it with gravity, but I’m also there to be your hype girl and ensure your day is lighthearted and full of laughter. I’m no stranger to travel (and honestly, my husband could keep us all alive in the wilderness for dayssss) so you tell me... where in the world do you guys want to get married?!
Witnessing two people in love as they commit their faithfulness to one another before God never gets old.

Anna & Joshua
Oh my word. We are FLOORED. Words fail me!!! So I’ll just say thank you. Thank you for being a present and intentional photographer that didn’t check out the moment your time was up. Thank you for seeking God’s heart and vision in your art. Thank you for loving us so well in that and in how you captured our relationships with all the people we love. God orchestrated each part perfectly and I’m grateful for your creativity to make every shot capture exactly what God did.
“Each photo is a work of ART, and I could actually cry because each photo makes me remember the emotions and memories flood back from those moments. ”

I cannot rave about them enough! We had to cancel our wedding in Cabo due to COVID-19, and I messaged her on Instagram last minute when we decided to change our plans. She said YESSS, and we are forever grateful. She is the most down to earth person, and we love her!! We couldn’t have asked for someone better!!
“I truly can’t express how much we loved Jessica and her husband, Clayton. They were absolutely amazing, and are truly one of a kind.”

You want unbelievably beautiful images that tell your story and perfectly match the emotions and memories of your day
You want to see yourselves and your story in a whole new light
You love your family and friends but know your wedding day isn’t about keeping hundreds of people happy & entertained all night
You love travel and new landscapes and can’t think of doing anything more perfect for your wedding day
You want to hone in on the experience of getting married, without so many distractions or cultural pressures
You want to be empowered to choose each other first and take the road less traveled
BUT, it is for you if:
Did I mention an intimate wedding or elopement isn’t right for everyone? Truth is, it just isn't.

Let’s Get This Party Started
Here’s How It All Goes
question
We really want great photos but we definitely aren’t models. Sure this is for us??
ANSWER
In short, YES! Trust me when I say, I gotchu. I have a 100% track record of thrilled clients, and I deff ain’t lettin' that stop with you. ;) The only one who needs experience around a camera is me - and I’ve got that in droves! Simply put: don’t let your doubts or insecurities keep you from booking a session, living your life, and telling your love story. I promise to help you feel your absolute best!
NEXT QUESTION
How many images will we receive and how fast will we receive them?
ANSWER
With 4-8 hours of shooting time, there’s going to be A LOT of images on my camera. I typically deliver around 100 photos per hour. After culling and editing, you can expect to receive a digital gallery with all of your high-resolution images within 60 days of your wedding day. (And a few sneak peeks well before that, duh!)
NEXT QUESTION
How would you describe your photography editing style?
ANSWER
Great question! As an artist's style tends to evolve, I’d have to say my style has become an interesting blend of editorial and bold, with an alluring contrast of both light and moodiness. It’s an intentional curation of what I believe draws you to an image the most.
NEXT QUESTION
What type of locations do you usually recommend to your clients?
ANSWER
After living in Japan, traveling all over, and now being back in Arkansas, believe me when I say anywhere in the world. (Where borders are open at least - #COVID.) Things are obviously quite different at the moment, but I typically help you land on a location that works for your budget, tells your story, and holds meaning for you - even if you’ve never been there before!
