Destination Elopement Photographer based in Utah + available for travel worldwide
I am SO excited for you to elope!! Genuinely. Elopements are incredibly special. You get to experience the elopement day focused on the two of YOU rather than catering to all your guests, get epic elopement photos, and create memories that feel adventurous and intimate.
I photograph elopements all over the world, and specialize in two styles: moody, ethereal, or a mix of both.
I’ve been an elopement photographer for a while, and when it comes down to it, I just want to tell your story as best as possible in an artistic style. (And make you feel super hot in your photos.)
Take a look through the different elopement photography galleries to see what feels most like YOU. A mix of vibes is what I do best, so if you’re after gorgeous elopement photos that are artsy and have a range of vibes, I 100% got you. If you’re an emo babe who wants a “til death” vibe that brings out your personalities, I got you covered. Adventuring in the mountains and want golden hour dreaminess? Let’s go.
Your photos should feel like YOU.
What to Expect When You Elope with Datura Photo
Imagine an elopement day that feels like the first deep breath you’ve taken. Nothing is rushed, everything is intentional, and the moments you remember most aren’t staged but felt. That’s the kind of experience you’re going to have. Adventure, laughter, love, presence.
When you hire me as your elopement photographer, you’re not getting a cookie-cutter package. You’re getting a photographer who cares about the story you’re writing together and how it feels to be in it. You’ll have an adventure, feel big things with your person, and get epic photos while you’re at it.
I’ll help guide you through the planning process from the very beginning — from scouting epic locations to building a timeline that actually feels good, not rushed or stressful. I’ll help you with logistics, permits, lighting, and even backup plans.
On the day of your elopement, it’s part calm and intentional, part “holy effballs, this is the best day ever!!!”
We’ll create space for those quiet, emotional moments and the wildly fun, spontaneous ones. I want to get to know you and what your vibe is so we can create a day that feels like YOU.
I’ll prompt you into both natural poses and genuine reactions. We don’t do awkward and stiff. Whether you’re hiking through the trees, exchanging vows on a cliffside, or sharing champagne on the beach, I’ll help create moments that feel like you and document it all.
Think: Chasing golden light, hiking wild places, standing barefoot in water, stargazing, playing tag, eating charcuterie on your car, dancing, exchanging vows, or even getting matching tattoos. We are up for any adventure, and want your elopement to be a memorable experience.
I’ll help you find the perfect location, build a timeline that flows, and other logistics you may need help with.
On the day of, you can expect a mix of calm energy and excitement, honest emotion, and photos that feels both cinematic and real. I’ll capture the in-between moments, the wind in your hair, and direct you into gorgeous moments that feel natural.
Your only job is to show up, be wildly in love, and trust me with the rest. I promise I’ve got you.
If you vibe with anything on this page, I guarantee we’ll get along and create beautiful images together. My clients tend to say the same thing: “I don’t want stiff cookie-cutter poses that look like everyone else’s. I want them to feel like US.” And that, my babe, is what I live for .
If that resonates with you, scroll down to the form and let’s chat <3
I have two types of clients: one that loves more ethereal photos that are warmer but full of emotion and personality. And my other clients are unique badasses that love moody photos with edge. I absolutely love both styles and refuse to only do one. My heart is in both. I’ll make sure we tell your story in the way that suits you, whether that’s the more ethereal approach, moody approach, or a mix. I’ll help you with the best timeline for what you envision. And if you’re not sure where you lean, I can help you figure it out.
For the warm & ethereal loving babes:

Galleries
These galleries are full of real people doing exactly what they wanted on their wedding day, whether that meant running through redwoods, reading vows on a cliffside, or hiking to a mountain overlook.
When you look through these stories, I hope you don’t just see pretty photos, I hope you see yourselves. Laughing. Snuggling. Crying happy tears. Fully in the moment.
Each one of these days was crafted around what mattered most to the couple. That’s how I try to approach every elopement, in a way that tells your love story, with a mix of calm direction, fun energy, and a whole lot of RAW, REAL, AND RAD moments.
Take your time scrolling. Daydream a little. And if something sparks, let’s talk about how we can make your story just as good.
Instead of splitting brands, we are bringing both together, so please tell me if it stops you from booking, we are currently testing to see if I can combine my wedding and elopement photography brands in one place ;)

Why Elope?
Eloping isn’t about running away, it’s about running toward something that feels honest.
If the idea of a big, traditional wedding makes you want to hide under the covers… you’re not alone. So many of my couples tell me they just want to be present. They want their wedding to actually feel like them, not put on a show for everyone else. Some of my couples still do a celebration with friends and family after they elope, but they crave that intimate time together focused on the moment rather than catering to hundreds of people.
Eloping gives you freedom. It lets you strip away the pressure, the noise, and the expectations. You get to focus on what really matters: the two of you, your story, and the promises you're making.
It can be as simple or as epic as you want. Maybe it’s just the two of you in the redwoods, saying vows at sunrise. Maybe you bring a handful of your favorite humans and toast champagne on a mountaintop. However you choose to do it, it’ll be real. Intimate. Yours.
And I’ll be there to help guide you through it — not just documenting the moments, but helping create the space for them to happen. No awkward posing with your second cousin twice removed, We’ll focus on connection, emotion, vibes, and adventure.
I love working with the natural scenery and capturing the vibe of your day. Most of all, I want your photos to FEEL like you, and remind you of your incredible experience.
Hi! I’m Jules.
I’ve been a wedding and elopement photographer for almost 14 years (Don’t let the baby face fool you) and I love it more than anything. When I’m not working, you can find me exploring new places, trying new hard ciders, adventuring with my husband and two kiddos, and listening to true crime. I’m a Schitt’s Creek fanatic (Moira is my spirit animal) and a charcuterie whore. But let’s be honest, you can usually find me editing your elopement photos ;)
What I’m really like:
