And by now, I'm sure you've noticed that while an elopement may seem easier than a larger traditional wedding (You no longer have to worry about venues, catering, multiple vendors, hotel room blocks)...
You are just trading out for a different set of challenges: weather, permits, travel logistics, location, and activities.
I love working with couples like you - authentic to who you are and a little (or a lot) adventurous!
Count me in!
Or you want to explore new terrains, vowing to be together forever surrounded by nature's beauty...
Or you want to spend the day in the mountains and have your pup witness your ceremony...
Or anything in between...
I will help you plan every detail to ensure your day is everything you have ever dreamed of. You get to arrive knowing that you will be taken care of, have nothing to worry about, and be able to soak up every single moment to remember forever.
Whether you’re a couple that wants to spend your Elopement day hiking, rock climbing, or biking...
I'm so much more than just your photographer.
I offer a comprehensive elopement experience, serving as your knowledgeable guide, enthusiastic adventure companion, meticulous day planner, expert logistics coordinator, savvy back up plan creator, and potential lifelong friend - all in one!

"Jason was great to work with and I could not recommend him enough. We originally planned to have our wedding in Florida with 50 people and that changed to being in Colorado with 150+ people. Jason was up for the change and totally accommodating!
He also was a total trooper going up some questionable forest roads to do our engagement photos. He was super laid back, quick to respond, and the pictures were AMAZING! If you're looking for someone that will be professional, easy to work with and not add stress to your day, BOOK HIM NOW!!!"

"I found Jason when I was looking for photographers happy to shoot smaller weddings. It was a tiny wedding with only immediate family. This gave us even more time for a couple of photos, and now we have many beautiful shots in different environments.
Jason was excellent and easy to work with. Our pictures came back so fast, and they look fantastic. I highly recommend Jason for your wedding, big or small!"

"We are so unbelievably happy with our wedding and engagement photos. Jason is amazing and so talented. He suggested doing an engagement session (free with our package) to get to know each other and he was absolutely right to suggest it! It took out the nerves and the stress of photos on the big day.
Jason is a joy to work with, and he thinks about every single detail. We felt like we were really taken care of, and I knew this was one part of the day that we didn't need to stress over. Our photos look absolutely incredible. I cannot recommend him enough!!"
