About
A photographer, planner, and calm presence for couples choosing to do things differently.
I'm a Colorado elopement photographer, husband, dad, runner, hiker, and someone who genuinely believes your wedding day should feel like one of the best days of your life - not one of the most stressful.
When we work together, my goal is simple: to help you create a day that feels intentional, relaxed, and completely your own. I'll help with the planning, guide you through the logistics, and document the moments that matter most so you can spend less time worrying about what's next and more time being present with each other.
Meet Jason
After photographing traditional weddings, I realized the moments I looked forward to most weren't the grand entrances or packed dance floors, they were the quiet moments in between.
The deep breath before the ceremony.
The way two people looked at each other when no one else was watching.
The laughter during a hike to an overlook.
Those moments reminded me what a wedding day is really about.
That's why I fell in love with elopements.
When couples choose to step away from expectations and create a day that reflects who they are, there's room to slow down, be present, and actually experience the day instead of simply getting through it.
My role isn't to direct every moment or turn your wedding into a photoshoot. It's to create the space for those moments to happen naturally, and then preserve them honestly.
Why I photograph elopements
Choosing to elope wasn't just something I photographed, it was something my wife and I chose for ourselves.
After meeting in Seoul, South Korea while teaching English as a second language, we fell in love, and I proposed at Angkor Wat, Cambodia at sunrise.
When it was time to start planning, we wanted a wedding day that felt intentional, relaxed, and focused on what mattered most to us rather than everything that came with planning a traditional wedding.
That experience changed the way I approach every couple I work with.
I know what it feels like to wonder if you're making the right decision, to sort through endless options, and to hope your day feels just as meaningful as you've imagined.
My goal isn't to recreate our experience.
It's to help you create one that feels completely your own.
My wife and I eloped, too!
Before becoming a full-time photographer, I spent more than a decade working in the mental health field.
That experience taught me how to stay calm when plans change, how to listen before reacting, and how to help people feel comfortable during life's biggest moments.
Those skills have become some of the most valuable things I bring to an elopement day.
When weather shifts, timelines need to change, or nerves start to set in, I'm there to help you slow down, adapt, and stay focused on what really matters.
Beautiful photographs are important.
But feeling supported while they're being created is just as important.
Why couples trust me
When I'm not photographing elopements, you'll usually find me somewhere outside—hiking a trail, mountain biking, camping with my family, or exploring Colorado with my wife, our two boys, and our wonderfully chaotic dogs.
Those adventures are part of why I love photographing elopements.
The mountains aren't just where I work, they're where I feel most at home
Beyond Photography
• Your wedding day should reflect your relationship, not someone else's expectations.
• Presence matters more than perfection.
• The best photographs come from genuine connection, not perfect posing.
• Every couple deserves to feel welcomed, respected, and celebrated exactly as they are.
• Kindness, honesty, and clear communication make every experience better.
I proudly work with LGBTQIA+ couples and always show up as an ally. I believe in body positivity, respect and honor diverse cultures and traditions, and approach every elopement with care and openness. No matter your background, identity, or values, you can expect to be met with respect and intention.
A Few Things I Believe
I’m based in Colorado, but my work isn’t limited by geography. Whether your plans keep you close to home or take you somewhere farther off the beaten path, I’m comfortable traveling and adapting so the experience still feels calm and well-supported.
I regularly work throughout Colorado, including Denver, Colorado Springs, Estes Park, Evergreen, Aspen, Vail, Buena Vista, Salida, and everywhere in between, and I’m always open to traveling beyond state lines when it makes sense for your day.
Wherever you choose to elope, my role stays the same: to guide the process, handle the logistics, and help the day feel intentional rather than complicated.
Wherever your elopement takes you.
My work has been featured by a handful of publications and platforms that value intentional, people-first storytelling.
