who care more about meaning than tradition — and want every moment to feel like them.
Cinematic elopement storytelling for untamed hearts who crave depth, artistry, and a day that feels as raw as it is beautiful.
Our team is based in Virginia, but we are traveling anywhere.
CINEMATIC ELOPEMENTS
You Don’t Want a Traditional Wedding.
You Want an Experience.
You're not just planning an elopement.
You're crafting a story that no one else could tell. The kind that unfolds in mist-covered mountains, with bare feet on forest floors, vows spoken through laughter and tears, and a love that feels too big for tradition to hold.
You want real moments. Not poses. You want movement. Depth. Soul. You want the kind of images that look like stills from a film and feel like something you'll never forget.
I'll handle the rest — The timeline, the permits, the vendors, the "what-the-hell-do-we-do-nexts".
Bring your dog. Light the joint. Wear the boots. Say your vows under the stars if you want to. Because this isn’t about rules it’s about making your day feel like you.
And if you need more than photos? I’ve got you. Hair and makeup. Florals. Officiating. Boudoir. Styling. Everything you need to make it unforgettable.
This isn’t just an elopement.
It’s a cinematic love story — starring the two of you.

I have moody spectacular works of art that I absolutely treasure
“When I was looking for a wedding photographer I was picky. Not only was I looking for someone LGBTQ friendly, but I was looking for someone unique. I'm a creative person myself, and I wanted my photographer to reflect that but also really captures us as a couple. When I came across Sierra's website INSTANTLY I knew I had to have her as my photographer.
“I reached out explaining, that I was having a small intimate ceremony but didn't care for the super traditional shots. I wanted art to plaster on my walls. Sierra freakin' nailed it. The way she used natural light from right before golden hour right until freakin blue hour was INSANE. She produced images I am in love with, making me happy each time I view them not only that, but everyone I have showed my photos to have been in awe by what she captured reminding me this is something they have never seen before with wedding photography. We still have a few traditional shots because I wanted to capture memories of who was with us.”

It truly felt effortless but it’s because she puts in so much work to make you have the best stress-free day!
‘My elopement with Sierra was a real-life dream come true! She brought me all the ideas and we worked together seamlessly. She made the whole process as easy as can be. Her skills behind the camera are superb and I’m so happy with the outcome. I thought taking pictures would be awkward but the relationship she built before the big day made me and my husband feel so comfortable with taking our pictures. It truly felt effortless but it’s because she puts in so much work to make you have the best stress-free day! Eloping was the best decision we could have ever made."

If you want a badass elopement photographer BOOK WITH SIERRA & the GJP team. They will help make your day exactly the way you dream it being!”
"I knew I wanted to elope and have Sierra as our forever photographer. We clicked instantly making our dream for elopement day. Her greenhouse was perfect for our ceremony with our children, parents, and grandmothers. Sierra captured us in the most perfect way. We didn’t want the traditional wedding bullshit- we took a shot of Crown Royal in the middle of our ceremony as a symbol of unity then left out on our Harley Davidson in our wedding attire. Fast forward to September 2023, we took her to Puerto Rico for our private vow ceremony/honeymoon that she planned for us throughout the year. She helped scout the perfect places to capture all of the emotions, details, & our love for one another.

I’m sierra
hey
My home base is southern Virginia, but my heart’s in every place where love writes its own rules.
I photograph love stories for couples who crave more than pretty pictures... they want meaning. Movement. Soul.
I’m the one in all black, always. Not just for the aesthetic (though, yeah, it fits), but because I’m drawn to contrast. Light and shadow. Softness and grit. Calm and chaos. That’s where real love lives.
My work is cinematic, raw, and deeply intentional. No stiff poses. No Pinterest perfection. Just two humans, fully themselves, in wild places captured with honesty and depth.
I’m a zero-judgment kind of human. Whoever you are, however you love, whatever your story looks like — you’re safe here.
If you want your elopement to feel like a story that could only belong to you — I’m all in.
