I believe elopements are for couples who crave a stress-free and deeply meaningful experience—something more intimate than a traditional wedding. Whether you're standing on a red rock overlook in Zion or beside an alpine lake in Mammoth Lakes, eloping allows you to focus on what truly matters: the powerful commitment you’re making to each other. There are no rules—just a celebration filled with love, intention, and the people who matter most. Whether it's just the two of you or a small group of your closest people, your elopement in Zion, Yosemite, or Mammoth becomes a day that's entirely your own.
When you choose to Elope, you're choosing to shed expectations and do things different. Leave the large guest list, the long ceremony, and those external expectations behind and let’s hit the trail. Your wedding experience should be full of what makes you and your partner come alive. Hiking, biking, relaxing in nature, rock climbing, or trying something new (like canyoneering). Give yourselves all the time in the world to exchange vows, craft your own ceremony, and soak in your moment—Your day, your rules.
Here is your invitation to re-imagine your wedding day!
Elopements Grounded in Story, Fueled by Adventure—I specialize in desert & mountain experiences:
I pour my heart into a handful of places I know deeply—Eastern Sierra & Southern Utah. By building a relationship with these wild spaces, I’m able to offer more than just photos. I help craft experiences rooted in place, shaped by intention, and grounded in the kind of care that comes from truly knowing the land.

Our experience with Jaymie was great from the start... Jaymie’s knowledge of Yosemite and her creativity allowed her to elevate our experience and captured images beyond our imagination. When rain washed out our planned sunset hike to Taft Point, she suggested a “Valley Romp” where we could hop out at various spots in the valley. She even offered umbrellas and lots of enthusiasm. That pivot gave us the opportunity to get photos with a rainbow over half dome, which for us was like hitting the lottery. We would give her 100 stars if we could.

Jaymie is beyond talented and give you more than just photos, she helps create moments that you will treasure for a lifetime. We came in looking for a mammoth wedding photographer but we ended up with a friend! Her photos are beyond breathtaking. Jaymie not only took photos of our special day, she added more than we could have ever imagined. I will always recommend Jaymie to anyone looking for moments to be captured and created together!

We booked a session with Jaymie and our experience was beyond amazing. She has such a quick turnaround and her photos are excellent quality. I'm very camera shy but felt comfortable during the session. Her calm and warm nature made it much easier to relax and feel natural. We enjoyed our time with Jaymie so much we would love if she could do our wedding photos as well! It definitely takes patience and a great attitude to try and photograph two cats and a husky at the same time.

The park was doing last minute construction and we had to change the wedding location the morning of. Jaymie showed up an hour early (on her own) to scope out the new location and even emailed the park to see about other locations. That was all before she even met us in person! Her photos speak for themselves, but if you’re looking for someone to make you feel taken care of, beautiful, and to have so much fun on your hikes to your photo spots - she. Is. Your. Girl. Cannot recommend her enough. Thanks so much again, Jaymie, for all you did for us!!
Jaymie is the kind of person you want in your corner on your elopement day.

VENDOR—I will help you find the perfect vendors to make the rest of your planning seamless. Need a florist, officiant, videographer, cake maker, caterer, or musician who will work in your chosen location? No problem! I can recommend those.
LOCATION SCOUTING—I help you find the perfect location (if you haven’t found it already). I scout these spots in person to watch when the light is best and figure out how to plan for the best experience.
THIS is WHAT I bring to EaCH Adventure ELOPEMENT:
EXTRA—I come prepares with items you may not think to bring: extra headlamps, a GPS for tracking our route, extra snacks and water, as well as a first aid kit (with experience in wilderness first aid).
OFFICIANT—I can also sign your marriage license- I’m an ordained officiant. So if you don’t want to hire an officiant or make a family member fill the role- you can say your vows to each other and I can sign the paperwork.
