Destination Wedding + Elopement Photographer

Based in Central Florida, available across the U.S.

 

I’m a Central Florida-based wedding and elopement photographer with a deep love for travel and storytelling. While Florida is my current home, I specialize in documenting destination weddings and elopements throughout the United States, with a special connection to my roots in the Pacific Northwest. I offer FREE travel for weddings in Idaho, Washington, Oregon, and Florida.

 

Whether you’re planning an intimate elopement in Oregon, a moody mountain wedding in Washington, or a serene lakeside celebration in Idaho, I’ll be there to capture every real, unscripted moment. I also travel to other beautiful states across the country, bringing the same dedication to every story I photograph. My approach blends documentary-style storytelling with a moody, cinematic aesthetic, delivering timeless, authentic, and emotional images that allow you to relive your day with depth and meaning.

Escape the mundane!

Authentic

Candid and natural wedding photography that reflects the real you. From emotional vows to unscripted laughter, every frame tells your true love story.

Elegant wedding photography that never goes out of style. I capture classic, enduring moments you’ll treasure for a lifetime, perfect for couples seeking refined wedding imagery.

Emotional

Emotional storytelling through cinematic photography. My goal is to create meaningful, heartfelt images that preserve the spirit of your wedding day across stunning landscapes.

If stiff, overly posed photos make you cringe a little…

you’re exactly where you’re meant to be!

My approach to photography is all about capturing your story in a natural, real, and documentary-style way. I want to feel like your friend with a camera, just hanging out, soaking in every moment of your day, and freezing those little in-between memories that mean the most. The big belly laughs, the soft happy tears, the wild dance moves, the quiet glances when you think no one’s watching… I’m here for all of it.

 

The key to getting those candid, joy-filled photos you’ll love forever is making sure you feel completely comfortable. I believe that starts with us becoming friends. Seriously, text me anytime. I’ll bring the good energy and the laughs, and instead of stiff, awkward poses, I’ll guide you into natural moments. You’ll be telling each other sweet little nothings, playing games, and doing things that feel like you. That’s how we capture authentic connection and real emotion.

 

If this sounds like the kind of experience you’re dreaming of, let’s talk. We’ll plan your perfect photo session together, pick the best location that feels right for your story, and make sure the whole process feels easy, fun, and totally you. Ready to make some magic together? I can’t wait to hear from you.

I love what I do!!

"Jessica was everything we needed and more on our wedding day. She showed up to the rehearsal to find the best locations for photos at the venue. She gave us direction when we found ourselves indecisive and at a loss for process, and yet, everything came out so beautifully. She captured the essence, the magic, the real moments—she got all of it, and she added to it. She brought out and captured the best in our guests. We had magical photos to send out in thank you cards after. If you’re ever in need of professional photography or any photography at all, Jess is your gal. She went way beyond what we hired her for and we can’t thank her enough for it. Her relaxed and decisive demeanor with a side of fantastic sense of humor made this anxious bride feel like she had another bridesmaid by her side. Anyone is lucky to have Jess as their photographer. You’re the best, Jess! ❤️"

Brittany + Blase

"I don't even know where to start on how wonderful my experience with Jessica was. From the very first interaction we had on Zola, she was clear, communicative, understanding, a wonderful listener, and so excited to work with us. My husband is pretty camera shy and just shy in general, and Jessica was unlike any other photographer we had ever met, she understood what it was like to be on the other side of the camera and how scary that can be. She instantly put us both at ease and our photos are absolutely beautiful.
To be honest, I was pretty nervous about selecting a photographer because I'm plus size, but wow, I was so impressed. I rarely feel beautiful in photos, and I feel so beautiful and TRUELY ME in the photographs. Receiving our wedding gallery back, I kept saying, "I can't believe that is really me!!" Jessica and Mac caught our inner beauty on camera, and that is true magic.
I had to make like 5 changes to our photography package between booking and the wedding, and she was extremely graceful and accommodating. We got sneak peeks from our wedding the very next day and in time, a huge and extremely thoughtfully crafted gallery.
Jessica took our engagement photos as well, and by the end of our wedding night, it felt like she was not just a vendor, but a friend.
If you've never had your photos taken or if you're as comfortable as can be behind the camera, whether you're young or old, whether it's graduation, a wedding, or celebrating a new addition to your family- Jessica is the photographer for you.

Good photography can connect you back to your self esteem, it can help you get out of your shell, and the most important thing it does is immortalize the most special moments in your life and we are so happy that we trusted Jessica with that responsibility. <3"

Daphne + Caleb

"I'm so incredibly grateful to have found Jessica to capture our wedding day! We were lucky enough to do an engagement shoot months before & we knew right away she would do an amazing job because of how comfortable she made us feel. Jessica does a great job with natural poses and provided us with SO many incredible photos that we will look back on forever. She even gave us sneak peaks (within days!) which were so special to look at on our honeymoon. I received so many compliments from family members about how wonderful Jessica did & she truly went out of the way to capture every single person at our wedding. I hope to be able to use Jessica again in the future!"

Jocelyn + Ryan

"Jessica is AMAZING to work with. The first photoshoot that my husband and I did with her was both of our first professional photoshoots and we were nervous for sure. Jessica is so friendly and calm and creates just the right environment to make her clients feel comfortable.
As a wedding photographer, she went way above and beyond what anyone would expect of a photographer. She sat down with me and helped create the schedule for our day, she showed up early and was ready to start taking pictures right away, she was communicative and fun throughout the whole wedding day, and has been extremely communicative since that day. She makes the whole process smooth, fun, and totally comfortable. I’m in love with the wedding photos that I will have to cherish for the rest of my life. I would absolutely recommend Jessica for any photography needs!!"

Angela + Jeremiah

"Jessica is absolutely wonderful to work with! She really knows how to get the perfect shot all while making her couples feel the most comfortable! My fiancé and I couldn’t be happier with the results and plan to book again!!!! I highly recommend Booking with Jessica Olson productions!"

Kelsey + Nate

"Jesse is the most sweetest person you’ll ever meet, makes you feel totally relax and fun when she’s taking your pictures and always replies fast and helpful. Her work is classic and fun and beautiful. So grateful to have her work and hope to use her again!"

Melissa + Jesse

"Jessica Olson Productions has an amazing eye and made our photo shoot so fun and easy. She truly creates magic. I would never hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer to capture your special moments. Don’t pass up the chance to work with her!"

Carly + Wylee

"We chose Jessica to do our Honeymoon photos and it was by far the most beautiful thing about our honeymoon! Jessica was so creative and kind! We got exactly what we wanted and so much more ❤️ I highly recommend choosing her for all your photography needs!"

Savannah + Daniel

"Jessica is not only an amazing photographer she’s an amazing person who’s passionate about her work. During the shoot I felt relaxed and comfortable. Her work speaks for herself.

She is extremely professional, Timely service and an amazing finish product!"

Timothy 

"Jessica recently took our engagement photos. She was absolutely amazing to work with! She made the shoot fun even though we aren't the most comfortable in front of the camera. She is a great communicator both before and after your shoot. She really listened to what I was looking for and any other concerns or preferences I had for the photos. The photos turned out beautiful, and really managed to capture our relationship. She was also so kind and relaxed which put us at ease during a stressful time for us. I can't recommend her enough!"

Jessica Olson Wedding and Elopement Photographer

Capturing Authentic Love. Creating Emotional Art.

Hey friends! I’m Jess!

 

Originally from Spokane, Washington, I’ve bounced around a bit, spent some time in Northern Idaho, moved to Salem, Oregon for college, and now my husband and I call Central Florida home. But my heart will always belong to the beautiful Pacific Northwest. If you’re in Boise, Coeur d’Alene, Post Falls, Spokane, Seattle, Salem, Portland, Sisters, Bend, Orlando, Tampa, Sarasota, Miami, Tallahassee, Jacksonville or anywhere in between, let’s connect! I’m always down to make the trip. Honestly, there are so many places across the U.S. I’d love to explore, so if you’ve got a dream location in mind, send me a message. I’m here for whatever photography adventure you’ve been dreaming up.

 

Want to hike miles to catch the perfect view? I’m in. Want to splash in the ocean like carefree kids? Absolutely. Want to sit and share burritos with your best friend in your gorgeous wedding attire? One hundred percent yes, and honestly, that might be the best idea yet.

 

Here’s how it works: we chat, we pick a date, and we meet up. Then, I’ll probably have you spin around, touch the ground, run, jump, and move in ways you never thought you would. You might give me a few confused looks, but I’ll smile and say, “Trust me, it will look great in the photos!” My whole goal is to bring out the real you, because that’s where the magic happens.

 

If you love being in front of the camera, amazing! And if you’re someone who feels awkward and has no idea what to do, I totally get it. I grew up feeling the same way. But don’t worry—I’ve got you. Together, we’ll turn your picturesque dreams into reality.

 

A little about me:

  • First and forever love: Jesus Christ
  • Married to my incredible husband since 2020
  • Favorite drinks: Thai tea, horchata, and hot chocolate (with mini marshmallows)
  • Favorite candy: Raisinets and Whoppers (yes, I fully embrace the grandma vibes!)
  • Favorite foods: Thai, Japanese, Indian… pretty much anything Asian-inspired
  • Favorite movies: Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Star Wars, Transformers 1-3, etc. I love movies!

Ugh these two make my heart melt - Honeymoon Photo Session

 Ready to make some magic? Here’s how it all works:

01

Reach out and say hey!

Once you inquire through my contact form, we’ll hop on a call to dream together and talk through your vision for your wedding day, elopement, or adventure session. Whether you’re planning an intimate Florida beach wedding, a destination elopement in the Washington or Oregon mountains, a laid-back backyard celebration in Idaho, or any other beautifully planned wedding across the United States, I want to hear all about what makes this day uniquely you.

02

Let’s plan your perfect photo experience.

After you book, I’ll send over an email with everything you need to know about what to expect throughout our planning journey. You’ll get my full wedding guide packed with tips, location ideas, timeline suggestions, and all the helpful info to make this process feel easy and fun. I’ll also send you a questionnaire to help me get to know you both even better—your style, your love story, the vibe you’re going for, and the moments that matter most to you.

This is where the storytelling really begins. From there, we’ll start dreaming and planning your wedding photography experience together, making sure every piece feels natural, relaxed, and totally you.

03

Planning your engagement session.

If you’re dreaming of an engagement session (which I highly recommend!), this is where we’ll start bringing those ideas to life. Once I have a feel for your vibe and what feels most like you, I’ll send over a list of location suggestions that match your style, whether that’s a golden-hour beach stroll, a forest adventure, downtown city streets, or a cozy in-home session.

We’ll talk through the feel you’re going for, outfit tips, and all the little details to help you show up feeling confident and comfortable. And if you’re up for a little fun, I can suggest some playful activities to make your session even more personal; like grabbing ice cream, dancing in the waves, or popping some champagne to celebrate this season of life.

04

Secure the details.

Whether you’re planning a full wedding day, an intimate backyard celebration, or an adventurous elopement, I’m here to help make sure all the details come together smoothly. I’ll support you with vendor recommendations, location suggestions, and advice on those little pieces that help your day feel personal and meaningful, so you can stay focused on being present and enjoying every moment.

If your dream location requires permits (for outdoor ceremonies, parks, or destination elopements), I’ll guide you through that process too. I’ll help ensure we have the proper permissions and that everything is good to go well before the big day. Whatever kind of celebration you’re planning, I’m here to make the journey easy and stress-free from start to finish.

05

Build your photography timeline together.

As your wedding or elopement day gets closer, we’ll jump on another call to map out your photo timeline. Whether you’re having an all-day adventure elopement, a micro-wedding, or a traditional ceremony with a twist, we’ll make sure your timeline flows smoothly, leaving plenty of room for candid moments and genuine connection. This is one of my favorite parts of planning! 

06

Show up, celebrate, and let me capture the magic.

When the big day arrives, I’ll be right there with you, camera in hand and fully present. I’ll be your biggest hype girl, your calm in the chaos, and your go-to for making sure you feel comfortable, confident, and most importantly, yourself. My goal is to capture those raw, real moments and the true story of your day through candid, documentary-style photography.

07

Soak it all in.

After your wedding or elopement, take the time to fully soak it all in—whether you’re off on your honeymoon or keeping it close to home. You just married your favorite person, and that deserves to be celebrated fully… with a few sneak peeks from your gallery, of course! 😉

08

Relive the magic.

Once your full gallery is ready, I’ll send you a beautiful online gallery where you can view, download, and share all your photos with your favorite people. You’ll be able to soak in every little moment, from the big, emotional highlights to the sweet in-between glances you might have missed.

Your gallery will be delivered with high-resolution images, perfect for printing, along with web-size versions ready for sharing on social media. I want you to be able to relive your day over and over again, and feel every emotion looking back.
