Your wedding day shouldn't be about performing for others. It should be about experiencing moments that make you feel alive - whether that's helicopter rides to Alaskan glaciers or intimate, lantern lit dinners under the stars. Imagine it’s your favorite date (just with better outfits and jaw dropping photos!)
You believe in recording your moments, not forcing them
bECAUSE YOUR ELOPEMENT IS NOT JUST A PHOTOSHOOT WITH A CEREMONY ATTACHED

NEW HAMPSHIRE ELOPEMENT
Imagine exchanging vows on a private peak, the Cascades unfurling beneath you like a living tapestry. That's the kind of extraordinary elopement I orchestrate.
I'm talking about arrivals via private helicopter to secret alpine meadows, gourmet chefs creating culinary masterpieces at 10,000 feet, and moments captured so vividly you can almost feel the mountain breeze.
My specialty? Crafting bespoke celebrations that blend luxury with raw, natural beauty. I handle every exquisite detail, allowing you to fully immerse in the magic of the moment.
Because a love as unique as yours deserves a celebration that's equally unparalleled. Ready to write your love story against the backdrop of a National Park?!

The best wedding is one where you and your human are at the center of everything—surrounded by the people you love the most, doing the things you love the most. It’s a day (or days!) that encourages all of your quirks, ideas, and must-haves without an ounce of guilt, shame, or performance.
Your day—in its entirety—should reflect the best of who you two are together. And the photos of your day should do the same.
Oh, and one more thing! You deserve a photographer who takes the time to understand your dynamic, sees you for who you are, and captures it all on camera in a timeless, one-of-a-kind way. (Hint: It’s me.)

Location Scouting
Imagine reducing your entire wedding day to just a ceremony and some quick portraits. No getting ready photos of you both buzzing with excitement.
No quiet moments of reflection as you prepare to commit your lives to each other. No documentation of your best friends arriving at your Airbnb, tears already flowing. No captured memories of that spontaneous champagne toast or the way your partner looked at you during golden hour.
Just a ceremony and posed photos – then your photographer leaves, while your entire celebration continues without being preserved.
ALL DAY ELOPEMENT COVERAGE
WHAT FEELS LIKE YOU?
BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT WE ARE DOING HERE
contact me now →
Your elopement isn't a photoshoot with a ceremony hastily attached. It's the day you choose each other, completely and wholly.
It's stolen glances over morning coffee, helping each other into wedding attire with shaking hands, perhaps reading private letters before you see each other.
It's the way your voice might crack during vows, the fierce embrace afterward, the pop of champagne echoing across mountain peaks. It's the impromptu first dance under the stars, the intimate dinner where you can't stop staring at your new rings, and every precious moment in between.
These fleeting moments – the ones that make your heart swell, the ones that bring tears to your eyes years later – they deserve to be captured. They deserve to be remembered. Because this isn't just another day.
This is YOUR day, the beginning of your greatest adventure together. Why would you want to remember only fragments of it? Full-day coverage ensures that every laugh, every tear, every unscripted moment of joy becomes a tangible memory you can hold onto forever. Anything less means letting precious moments slip away, lost to time except in fading memories.
"Your elopement isn't a photoshoot with a ceremony.."
“Jamie and Mark are weird, but don’t worry, it’s the cool kind of weird. The weird that will make you feel comfortable in any situation. Fair warning, you may fall in love with them.”
“YOU MAY FALL IN
LOVE WITH THEM”
My fiancé and I can’t speak highly enough of Jamie & Mark. So sweet, extremely prompt, and so talented. They went above and beyond, exceeding our expectations. Love Love Love! 😻
“LOVE LOVE LOVE!! 😻”
Being a wedding videographer, Jamie and Mark are the best photographers I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Not only did they make everyone feel very comfortable and at ease, but they were also willing to help me get the shots I needed/wanted!
"BEST PHOTOGRAPHERS I'VE HAD THE PLEASURE WORKING WITH
Great photographers, even better personalities! Love their photography style. Highly recommended for any kind of occasion. They will capture YOU.

Whether you want to hire the best hair and makeup team to come with us, or meet you early we will make sure we start the prep so you feel your absolute best for your ceremony.
The trail is dark, so we turn on our headlamps, pack your florals on your pack, and put on an extra pair of leggings (Because hey you just shaved you know) to start the hike around 4:30 am.
Your ceremony has ended, you are laughing at your partner's vows because they're full of inside jokes and promises that mean the world to both of you and goals as a couple. We are ready to have our breakfast picnic, pop some champagne, and then take some portraits in the morning light.
Just as the sun has started to creep on the ridge we are touching up a little, grabbing your vows, and sneaking a bit of your breakfast picnic spread. Then we take a deep breath, it's ceremony time.
..and this is just the beginning

Multi-day elopements allow us to capture the full richness of your celebration: those quiet moments over morning coffee, the spontaneous laughter during a trail lunch, the tender glances as you cozy up by the campfire. With over 13 years of experience documenting extended elopements, I know how to blend seamlessly into your experience while ensuring every meaningful moment is preserved. I'm not just there to take pretty pictures – I'm there to help you craft and capture an intentional celebration that reflects who you are as a couple, free from the time constraints and pressures of a single day.
multi day elopements
because why limit your adventure to only one day?
i'm on board →
Your love story isn't confined to a single sunset or sunrise – why should your elopement be? As a photographer who specializes in multi-day adventure elopements, I've witnessed firsthand how couples transform their intimate wedding into an immersive experience that truly honors their relationship.
Think beyond the traditional "getting ready" photos and ceremony snapshots. Imagine waking up in a remote mountain cabin on day one, sharing a private first look as alpenglow paints the peaks, exchanging vows at your own unhurried pace, and celebrating with a starlit dinner. Then wake up the next day to hike to hidden alpine lakes, share champagne at golden hour, or go rock climbing in your wedding attire – because your adventure doesn't end after you say "I do."
"think beyond the traditional.. imagine this instead.."

Imagine three full days where you get to experience the luxury moments with your partner and even your closest friends. You don't have to limit your elopement to a one day only event. Sometimes we have to give ourselves permission to splurge, so write your own rules right now with me.
Day 1 - Welcome dinner, we go ice skating at a local rink, then head to a cute coastal town for chowder and brews.
Day 2 - This is the day we get dressed up, have quiet moments, and tear up as you share your vows. Then add a little hiking adventure and the perfect pink + orange sunset. To end the night we stargaze while roasting s'mores with a private chef preparing everyone a 5 course meal. Full Parenthood episode moment.
Day 3 - This is your wild side coming out. We rent a jeep and go exploring down certain beaches, then run into the ocean screaming "I'M A BIRD!" You and your partner have a little water fight and all of these memories are not only burned into your brain, but I captured all of them on film + digital so you will have the best rounded gallery of intimate, wild, and emotional moments exchanged.

90's BITCH + FILM LOVER
jamie Tobin
A straight-shooter who some affectionately refer to as weird, quirky, and incredibly energetic. I’m a loud little *healed* extrovert who loves nothing more than spending hours upon hours exploring the outdoors solo, with my couples, or with my husband, Mark + sons Mercer & Jetson.
Speaking of Mark—I met him while traveling to New England and immediately fell in love with both his Boston accent and the region he called home. That’s why you’ll find me splitting my time between the Midwest and New England (two totally underrated places to get married).
I know how overwhelming it can feel inviting a stranger to your intimate day and attempting to act “normal” while they photograph the whole thing. But one promise I’m completely unafraid to make is this—3 minutes into your session you’ll forget we haven’t been friends for life because you’ll be too busy laughing your ass off.
And if you happen to care, I’m a die-hard fan of LoTR, carbs, and never have pants on.

There are so many formats out there, but these are my chosen ones.
Film = my style is 90's nostalgia
When it feels like your childhood, that's when you know it's good. A little messy, a little crazy, maybe blurry sometimes, but it all is part of the adventure.
That's why it's included in my core JTP package. Film is something I grew up on, and love and you should have that in your album, too.

Elevate your elopement beyond the ordinary with experiences that match the magnitude of your commitment. Picture arriving at your ceremony location by private helicopter, the dramatic peaks unfolding below as you squeeze your partner's hand in anticipation. Or begin your wedding day with a sunrise hot air balloon ride, sharing your first look as you float above the landscape bathed in golden light.
Consider chartering a private yacht for an intimate sunset dinner after your ceremony, where a personal chef crafts a multi-course tasting menu paired with vintage wines. Or retreat to an exclusive mountain lodge where you can indulge in a private couples' spa experience, soaking in outdoor hot springs under the stars. For the adventurous souls, arrange for a private guide to lead you to secret ice caves or hidden waterfalls, locations far from the typical tourist paths.

Transform your celebration with a luxury glamping experience, complete with a bohemian-styled tent featuring crystal chandeliers, plush bedding, and a private chef preparing breakfast as you wake up to mountain views. Or book a private villa with infinity pools overlooking the ocean, where you can host an intimate farm-to-table dinner party styled by high-end wedding designers.
For winter elopements, consider booking a private snowcat to access untouched powder for epic portraits, followed by a champagne toast in a heated snow globe overlooking the valley.
