Meet Jenny – Your Elopement Photographer & Guide

With over 17 years of experience photographing weddings of all kinds, Jenny knows how to capture the fleeting, heartfelt moments that make your love story unique. With a photojournalism degree from UNC Chapel Hill, she has a keen eye for storytelling—documenting the magic of your day naturally, without forced poses or awkward interruptions.

A Safe, Supportive Space for Every Love Story

At Golden Hour Elopements, we believe love is love. We proudly work with LGBTQ+ couples, blended families, and anyone writing their own unique love story. Whether your elopement includes your kids, your dogs, or just the two of you, we welcome you with open arms. Jenny is a mom of four and knows how to go with the flow—whether that means embracing the joyful chaos of little ones or making sure your furry friend gets their moment in the spotlight.

A Little More About Jenny

Off duty, Jenny is a proud mother of four and married to her soulmate, Mike. She’s a nature lover, wild mushroom enthusiast, and passionate forager, always keeping an eye out for edible plants on the trail (don’t be surprised if she shares a fun foraging find during your elopement!)

She’s also lived through the spectrum of wedding experiences—from a courthouse ceremony to a big traditional wedding celebration—before finally eloping with her forever love on a NC mountaintop. She knows firsthand how hard it can be to decide what kind of celebration fits your story. If you're torn between eloping or a more traditional route, Jenny is here to help you navigate the decision with insight, experience, and an open heart.

Life is full of surprises—your love story deserves to be celebrated in a way that feels right for you. No judgment, no pressure—just a beautiful, stress-free experience where you can be your authentic selves. Let’s make magic together. ✨
