Northern California Elopement + Micro Wedding Photographer
Jess rankin
Documenting intentional elopements, micro weddings, and lifestyle brands along the West Coast
Story-driven Photography
Your story is worth documenting in a way that feels true to you. Whether you're planning an elopement on the Northern California coast, hosting a wedding weekend with your closest people, or building a brand that needs intentional, engaging imagery, your vision matters. My documentary-style approach allows your story to unfold naturally — preserving the honest, unposed reality of the life and work you've created.
Photos where you’ll remember not just what it looked like, but what it felt like to be there.
Hey there, I’m Jess. A Northern California local and a documentary-style photographer for intentional couples and lifestyle brands across the West Coast.
My approach is rooted in reality, not performance. I prioritize honest moments over aesthetic trends because I believe the most truthful version of your story is the one worth preserving.
More than Photographs —
your story lives in the people, the landscapes, and the in-between moments.
“She made us feel so comfortable that we didn't even think about the fact that we were being photographed."
Kind Words
With a lot of support and great recommendations from Jess, we decided to elope at Timber Cove Resort - Jess captured it better than we could have imagined. She was so great throughout the whole process and made us feel so confident in our decision to elope. I am so happy to have our beautiful photographs to remember how special this day was.
