Let’s face it—planning your elopement can be super stressful, so why not leave the heavy lifting to me? As your dedicated East Coast elopement photographer, I take the stress out of planning and ensure every detail is flawlessly executed, so you two can focus on the good stuff. We specialize in Virginia elopements, but we're suckers for traveling the East Coast- Puerto Rico is our top elopement destination so far.
When you hire me and my amazing elopement team, you’re not just getting a photographer; you’re gaining a committed team who will handle the logistics and craft an unforgettable experience. We specialize in planning unique elopements for couples, like you, who don't fit the cookie- cutter norm of society. With years of adventurous nuptial experience, my team and I will be by your side to ensure your elopement day goes off without a hitch, whether we’re wandering through enchanting woods or exploring historic ruins.
As your photographer, I promise to deliver stunning memories that will last a lifetime—and of course, you’ll be married by the end of it! Let’s make your elopement day truly extraordinary.
Custom planning tailored to your exact needs and dreams- the sky isn't the limit! Wanna say your vows on a mountaintop in Georgia then go axe throwing with your partner and take some shots of tequila while you down the best ribs you've ever eaten? We got you.
I'll help you out with permit planning (some state parks require a photography permit for elopements) and location scouting to keep our day rolling smoothly. I will go put boots on the ground so that we already have our hiking trail mapped out ahead of time.
High-quality photography that has true-to-life colors & skin tones so that you can remember the day as it was in real time. I want you to vividly remember your day, but I really want you to be able to match your photos to your day- how the sunset blazed pink and orange, how the water was sky blue, and how your partner's face turned 10 shades of red when they saw your elopement attire for the first time.
Down-to-earth frequent communication with monthly planning phone calls to ensure your elopement day isn't a total shit show. The one thing that your day will most definitely have is a great time, but we'll chat about details from the day you book up until the day before. We'll have several planning calls, so that your day is planned to perfection.
A detailed elopement planning guide that I've made with you in mind and years of elopement expertise to make planning less stressful. Even thought I help you with planning, this guide serves as, well, a guide to help give you two ideas of where you go, what to wear, and how I can help implement your values as a couple into your elopement day.
A seamless day-of itinerary that we will make together with a backup plan in case Mother Nature throws a curve ball. Let's face it, we can plan and plan until we are blue in the face, but Mother Nature has her ways. If there's rain, or snow, we'll plan out an alternative location, or hiking trail to keep the show on the road!

"My husband and I always wanted a ceremony that we never got to have. However, planning it all is overwhelming and finding a photographer to understand and see the vision in my area is almost impossible. Especially when your aesthetic is dark, moody and borderline Victorian Gothic. That's where Sierra and the team at Grace & Jade Photography came in. After finding this photographer and meeting with her, we were sold. When she says all inclusive, she means it. Every detail, she's right there, from cake inspo and bakeries, flowers, to touching up your lipstick between shots. Planning somewhere off the beaten path? She's checking into it for you. Need help figuring out hair and makeup for your day? She has an incredible makeup artist on staff that will have you unbelievably beautiful. There is literally NO stress with her and her team, even down to the payment plans she offers. She is constantly in communication from day one to well through your special day. Sierra is understanding, supportive and gives her heart and soul to her craft and clients. From getting to know her clients to picking the perfect restaurant, and perfect spot for a dance with the love of your life with our song playing in the background. I literally started this as wanting a service, what I got was lasting memories, GORGEOUS photographs, confidence from being surrounded by three incredible women and a legitimate friend. I will recommend this photographer and team to anyone, for their dedication, professionalism and talent. I will be eternally grateful for being able to have this experience with my husband as well as having Grace & Jade Photography along with us for this experience of a lifetime."
Sierra made this one of the best times I’ve ever had while getting pictures taken. Her comments and chitchat made for a comfortable evening and real smiles. She kept us informed on her timeline and had us tons of images to look through in no time! 10/10 recommend this beautiful girl not only for her breathtaking photos, but her kickass personality too!"
“There are hardly words to describe the phenomenal care and attention Sierra paid to our photos, and we couldn't possibly have been luckier to find her. She took the time to get to know us personally and came with a passionate and creative energy that is outmatched. The quality of her photos speaks for themselves, and her calm presence and organization on the day of our ceremony made working with her a breeze. She got so many excellent photos that we never would have even thought of trying to get -- and earned justified praise from the NY Times staff when our wedding ended up being featured in the "Vows" section! Thanks, Sierra for everything!“
The show must go on! We will have a few back up plans, but none-the-less we will have quite a story to tell.
Absolutely not! This is your day and you two can plan it how ever your hearts desire.
ALWAYS HAVE, ALWAYS WILL. There are three options!
- A flat rate fee of a $750 is required to book along with your custom service contract.
Guests are always a yes! I do recommend that we keep it at a minimum of 10 guests. There may be restrictions on how big your group can be in order to have your ceremony in certain spots in National Parks, for example, some trails aren't dog-friendly, but I'll take that all into consideration when I give you your personalized location recommendations!
