And it's YOUR wedding day, so why shouldn't you??
You'd actually be excited about planning your wedding together — and know you're going to create an experience and memories to last you a lifetime!
Trust me...my husband and I "redid" our wedding after 10 years of marriage so we could be more intentional and true to ourselves. You don't need to do that!
You want a wedding day that is all about you.
forget everyone else's expectations
You've already thought eloping is the thing for you.
You believe your wedding day is for and about you. Hands down.
You're not interested in the fanfare and performance of a traditional wedding, or being the center of attention.
You're more interested in sharing an experience on your wedding day than spending money on material things.
You care about the environment, and you know eloping means less waste and impact on our planet!

I'm Jess (in the flowers), your key to the wedding adventure of your dreams!
Join me and my friend, colleague, and amazing photographer in her own right, Anna (like in Frozen), as we bring your wedding vision to life, even if you're not sure what that is right now ;)
Both of us believe that you deserve to celebrate your wedding in a way that is authentic to you, and in a way where you will feel pure joy and bliss through it all.
I run Jessica Knighton Photography with the values of sustainability and inclusion in mind at all times. In my non-work life, I love going on new adventures with my husband of 14 years and snuggling with our Tabby, Teddy in Saint Louis Park!
Anna, a member of the LGBTQ+ community, strives to provide a safe and caring environment, fostering connection and kindness wherever she goes. Outside of photography, Anna is learning to navigate homeownership with her girlfriend, Angie, and going on long walks with their pup, Zuul!
Together, Anna and I are ready to provide you with the adventure wedding experience of a lifetime!
OH! And we're both certified officiants in the State of Minnesota!
We can't wait to get started!
