We remember planning our intimate wedding...
We're here to make sure you have the best day of your life.
Hi, we're Brittany & Jake!
Hi, we're Brittany & Jake!
…and friends and family were always asking how we were handling the stress. And the truth is that we were never once stressed by our wedding. We were relaxed, excited to get married, and looking forward to celebrating our love in an authentic way. And that is how we want you to feel on your wedding day.
We truly believe that eloping is the best way to get married. It is a chance for you and your partner to celebrate your life together in a genuine way, without feeling pressured or overwhelmed by a traditional wedding.
At the end of the day, most photographers can deliver great photos. But we want so much more than that for you. The experience of your elopement day is our #1 priority, and we'll do everything we can to make sure you have the best day. Forget about the expectations of what your day “should” be - we’ll work together to create a beautiful day that is true to who you are.
BRITTANY
Photographer & Planner
JAKE
Photographer & Drone Pilot
Brittany is the main photographer, editor, planner, location scouter, and the one who takes the lead on elopement days, making sure we're staying on track and getting all the best shots!
Jake works as the second shooter, drone pilot, assistant, and helps with a ton of behind-the-scenes work. He's also the one carrying all of the bags on hikes with a smile on his face!
Meet Your Elopement Photographers
Most days, you can find Brittany reading (usually multiple books at once), obsessing over her pets (she's convinced they're the cutest pets in the world), hanging out in the backyard with the pups, or tending to her overflowing houseplant collection.
Her fatal flaw is believing wild animals would like her if they just gave her a chance.
Jake listens to every NFL football podcast there is (football season is a religion in our house), spends countless hours building his dynasty in EA College Football 25, and makes up songs about mundane things he's doing around the house.
Talk to Jake about anything nerd culture and he'll be your instant best friend.
When we're not photographing...
We're dog and cat parents, travel lovers, and we're completely obsessed with Hawaii. Working together to photograph elopement days is hands-down the best job we've ever had!
We live in Michigan and love our home state, but Hawaii will always have our hearts (and it will be our home - one day). But our overly anxious German Shepherd would not appreciate a plane ride!
You can usually find us playing with our pets, reading, hiking, taking too many photos of our pets (our camera rolls are full af), or watching It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia on repeat.
We're here to make sure that you have the absolute best day. Everything from planning, answering your questions, carrying your bags, helping you feel relaxed, and making sure you’re able to truly focus on what matters.
If you aren't sure what the first step is in planning your elopement, don't worry - that's what we're here for.
We'll be your photographers, your guides, your cheerleaders, and your friends on the best day of your life!
On your elopement day...
On your elopement day...
"Choosing to elope with help of Brittany and Jake was the best decision of our lives.
Brittany was always there to help guide me in the right direction and avoid panic attacks. They made my husband and I feel comfortable and were great company along the way.
It was exactly what we wanted, to not worry about planning and decisions. They made everything seamless.
Even with the insane weather they still managed to capture everything beautifully and always persevered just to make us happy. What more could you want from an elopement coordinator/photographer? Just a couple who loves to make other couples as happy as possible on their most special day. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much Brittany and Jake."

"I’ll get to the photos, but let me give you a real insight into what it’s like to have Brittany and Jake photograph your wedding. Towards the end of the night, one of my guests came up to me and told me it was so cool that one of our friends was able to photograph our wedding. In reality, that was our first time meeting them in the flesh, but they brought the energy of friends who were there to celebrate and support us… oh ya and they take the most stunning photos that you thought only existed in your wildest dreams.
They didn’t just point and shoot, they took the time to understand the vision we had of our wedding day and created that story with their cameras. The photos we got back THE NEXT DAY took our breath away. From the planning, to the pep talks to remind us the day is about US, to the actual day itself, Brittany was a dream to work with from beginning to end."
Mariah & Mark-Daniel
"Stumbling upon Brittany was one of the best things that ever could’ve happened to us. I will be forever grateful for the inspiration she provided us and how she made our dream wedding come true.
Brittany is not only an amazing photographer but also helped us envision our day and create a custom timeline unique to us. She took time to learn the things that we valued and felt were important to have on our special day and then figured out a way to make it all happen. She knew so much about the Hawaiian islands and helped us pick out the best locations. She stayed in contact with us throughout the entire planning process and always made it very easy to reach her if we had any questions.
Brittany and her husband Jake truly radiate positive energy and have such a calming presence which was such a blessing to have on our wedding day. I can’t recommend them enough and I’m so excited to see our full gallery as the sneak peaks alone exceeded our expectations!"
Kelsey & Charles
"Brittany & Jake surpassed all expectations and can only be described as an “energetic force” behind our special day. We had brutally cold winds and sprinkles to deal with, and yet Brittany and Jake remained positive and supportive throughout the entire day. I don’t think we would have enjoyed the day half as much as we did had they not been there.
On top of that, they were efficient, professional, clear in their directions, and made it easy for us to put complete trust in their vision for capturing our day. We got our Polaroids at the end of the day and sneak peeks of our gallery the next day, and they are STUNNING.
If you are on the fence about hiring Brittany and Jake, I would say this: If you’re looking for a photo team to add more love, laughter, organization, creativity, and ease into your special day, absolutely hire them!"
MEg & Tyler
"My partner and I were worried about feeling awkward when it came to the day of, but Brittany and her husband Jake made us feel so comfortable.
From the moment they walked into our Airbnb at 5 am until the end of our day, Brittany and Jake were nothing but patient, kind, caring, and supportive in every single way.
It honestly felt like we were with our friends and not someone we hired, but we also felt the professionalism where they gave us our own time to be intimate with one another and soak in our elopement experience.
They were our hype people every second of the day!"
