Grand Teton elopement photographer

An elopement as wild, beautiful & unforgettable as the place you chose to say “I do.” 

There’s something about Grand Teton National Park that makes an ordinary Tuesday feel like an adventure — and a wedding day feel almost unreal.

You can exchange vows with the Tetons behind you in the morning, explore all over the park together in the afternoon, and celebrate over cocktails and dinner in downtown Jackson that evening. Your wedding isn't confined to a venue or a timeline. The entire place becomes part of your experience!

WHY ELOPE IN Grand Teton?

Because if you're going to do things differently, you might as well do it somewhere unforgettable.

Your Grand Teton Elopement could look like...

  • Taking your time getting ready together in the morning
  • A sunrise first look at schwabachers landing
  • A scenic boat ride across jenny lake
  • A picnic with champagne at string lake
  • Horseback riding through the park
  • Ceremony at snake river overlook
  • sunset photos at the mormon row barns
  • Dinner in downtown Jackson
  • Inviting a handful of the people you love most — or keeping the entire day just for two

you want to walk away with a gallery full of images that are as beautiful as the memory.

you want someone who can handle logistics like helping you apply for your license and location permits.

you want a full planned, stress-free day

Sound like you?

yes! sounds like a dream!!

I’m a Cherry Coke Zero-loving, adventure-seeking, new mama who’s married to the love of my life! I’m here to be your biggest cheerleader, your calm in the chaos, and the person making sure all those little in-between moments are captured alongside the big ones.

When it comes to your Grand Teton elopement, I don’t believe in handing every couple the same list of five Instagram-famous locations and calling it a day. I know which spots are magical at sunrise, which ones glow at sunset, where you can find a little more privacy, and how to build a day that actually feels like you. Your elopement should be more than beautiful photos.... It should be an experience you’ll want to relive for the rest of your lives!!

SO LETS BUILD A DAY THAT IS UNIQUELY YOURS!

love notes

- Katie + Justin leitzen

"She actually traveled into town a day early and took sample photos to make sure the smoke wouldn’t be an issue for our wedding day. When she realized it could impact our photos, she completely changed her schedule and met us at 5:45AM so we could get the absolute best photos possible. That level of dedication and commitment meant so much to us!

Beyond her incredible talent, her personality is just the sweetest. She was so kind, fun, and wonderful to work with, and it wasn’t just us who noticed—so many of our guests commented on how amazing she was throughout the day. We absolutely loved working with her and are so thankful for all the extra effort she put into making our wedding photos beautiful and memorable. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!"

“Jessica truly went above and beyond, and we couldn’t be more grateful that we chose her!”

- haley + parker Troester

"Hiring Jessica for our Jackson Hole elopement was easily one of the best decisions we made. She was so organized and knowledgeable from the first message, I knew we were in good hands... but she seriously over delivered. On both the experience and the photos.

Jessica is so kind and treated us like friends she'd known for years. She made the whole session so comfortable and fun, we truly enjoyed our time with her. It's obvious she puts a lot of time and care into what she does. We've been joking with our family that it's going to be nearly impossible to figure out which ones to order prints of and hang in our home. She's wonderful – HIGHLY recommend for any occasion."

“When we got our photos back, we were blown away!”

- Bethanny + Adam calhoun

"She met with us numerous times to figure out location and a timeline. She was easy to reach via phone call or text if we had any questions. She was even more kind in person which didn’t even seem possible. She took us to beautiful spots in the park for photos and was very knowledgeable of the park and places to go. She even had snacks for us which was a life saver after the ceremony.

She was highly efficient with her timeline and with taking family photos. She also showed us how the pictures were turning out as we went. We absolutely cannot wait to see our wedding photos and know we are going to treasure these photos for forever. She also sent us a video with clips from our day that we haven’t been able to stop watching. We could not recommend her more if we tried. We will be hiring her again when we come back to the Tetons!"

“We could not have asked for a more wonderful experience with Jessica as our elopement photographer. ”

"We had an incredible experience with Jessica Nicole Photography for our Jackson Hole elopement. 

Wedding photos are lifelong memories, and Jessica genuinely understands how important that is. She took the time to review reference images I shared, paid close attention to every detail, and made sure each photo reflected exactly what I envisioned. Her editing and overall photo quality exceeded our expectations, and her turnaround time was impressively fast.

I was so happy with how our wedding photos turned out that I immediately rebooked her for my maternity photos.

"From the start, she was warm, professional, and truly invested"

My approach is simple: keep what's meaningful, update what's outdated, and make the entire process as enjoyable as the big day itself. With me, you can trust that every choice—from venue to vows—will reflect your unique love story. And because I prioritize personal connections, you'll always feel heard and understood. It's not just about a beautiful wedding day (though we guarantee that too).

Choose Your Experience

YES!! If you are getting married (legally or not), a $200 permit is required. I help you with this whole process and help you choose the best location for your ceremony based on how many people you're inviting and what spot really catches your eye. 

It depends on the experience you want! Summer offers warmer temperatures and greater access, but has the most tourist. Fall brings gorgeous color and cooler weather and winter completely transforms Jackson Hole into a snowy mountain experience but roads close after november. We'll talk through the tradeoffs and choose a season that fits what you're envisioning! 






Absolutely! Eloping doesn't have to mean getting married alone. You can create an intimate celebration with the people closest to you while still keeping the experience intentional and focused on the two of you.

Weather in Wyoming is VERY unpredictable and sometimes plans change. I always get to the Tetons the day before so I can scout out what the weather is doing. One of my couples this year was planning an afternoon elopement and the smoke was so bad the day before, we pivitoed and did their elopement at sunrise the next morning and it was absoultyly PERFECT weather! 

If Jackson Hole is already calling your name, I'd recommend reaching out as soon as you have a general date or season in mind! Permits go live in December and they sell out very quickly! 

Monday-Friday 9am - 5pm (mountain time)
