I’m writing this with full emotions right now because it’s been a decision that’s weighed on my mind and heart for quite some time.

Over the winter, I went into hermit mode to truly find myself and strip away everything that was killing me from the inside out. I found that I had been leaking energy and slowly sabotaging my body, life, and heart along the way.

I realized that I had been placing my time and energy into people and a business that was siphoning joy from my very soul. I was giving more time to my business than my own family which placed a massive amount of stress on my home life. I found resentment so deeply rooted that my unconscious tendencies to revert to anger and stressful thoughts were attacking my body which caused tremendous health problems and a near death experience.

I’ve let go of what I could not control, removed myself from situations that I didn’t need to be in, and placed my emotions to the side to truly understand who I am, how my family needs me, and what my purpose is for this lifetime has led me to make this decision of closing Grace & Jade Photography.

This decision has not came easily and I’ve grieved over it because the realization that my talent is not my calling is so much deeper than I ever imagined. I must follow this calling to create from the heart and my true self.

Embracing the truth that my community, my family, and creatives that value me is vastly superior to money. I will be writing from the depths that I have been to finishing my book series, speaking on my podcast and at events, creating handmade art to reflect this journey, and building a community center that will have a ripple effect on humanity for years to come.

I want to express the deepest appreciation to every single one of you who have supported me from day one up until now. To my team, thank you for your time and energy that made the last five and a half years possible. To my couples, clients, families, and partners who invested in my work, thank you endlessly for without you my business would not be what it is.

I’m no longer afraid of the dark because the light in my heart burns so bright that nothing can touch me any longer.

🌿 2026 Greenhouse Elopements

The greenhouse will open May 01, 2026 for a maximum of seven local elopements.

This offering is held separately from our private elopement practice and exists for couples who want something quiet, contained, and close to home. We have a curated list of local accommodations and a team to support your experience.

Availability is limited and handled manually. This is not a public booking link or high-volume offering.

Local couples who feel aligned may reach out directly for availability.

01/23/2026

Grace & Jade Photography now operates as a private practice.

Our work is devoted to honoring elopements in their rarest expressions held with discernment, shaped by presence, and documented with restraint.

We do not stage ceremonies.
We witness them.

Privacy is not a preference within our process; it is the structure that allows the work to remain intact.

We are a published, professionally equipped team with the experience and capacity to hold intimate elopements with clarity and care. Each union is approached as a singular collaboration, guided by intention rather than display.

For the 2026 season, our calendar is deliberately composed:

— Eight Witnessed Experience Elopements, available worldwide
— Seven Greenhouse Elopements, held locally and shared only within our social sphere

Some unions are preserved through proximity, not publication.

This practice exists for couples who value discernment over exposure, and meaning over measurement.

Our team is prepared for 2026–2027 elopements.

Inquiries are accepted exclusively through our inquiry form, and not all requests are accommodated.

Grace & Jade now operates as a private elopement + intimate portraiture studio.

Our work is no longer designed to be absorbed quickly or understood at a distance. It unfolds through conversation, intention, and mutual recognition.

Information is shared with care. Access is offered through alignment. The experience begins long before the day itself. This is not about withholding. It is about protecting pace, depth, and the integrity of what is being made.

For those who feel the resonance—the door is quiet.

But it remains open.

Grace & Jade exists at the threshold — the quiet place where something ends and something begins. Over the last eight weeks, I’ve been tending to that space with more care than ever, refining how this work is structured so it can hold what it asks of people.

What’s arriving isn’t designed to amplify or expand.

It’s designed to regulate.

The experiences taking shape are slower by necessity — built to support the nervous system, to allow presence to settle, and to give transformation the space it actually requires. They are precise because care demands it.

They aren’t meant for everyone & boundary is intentional.

While I lead this work and carry its vision, it’s supported by a dedicated and talented team who help hold each experience with care and steadiness when the work calls for it. Crafting luxury experiences that reflect our ability to support couples on a level that’s deeper than your traditional elopement is required & the new standard.

Books are opening soon. Until then, I’m here —working quietly, with intention.

12/31/2025

This year tested everything.

Love was the only thing that didn’t break. Because of that, Grace & Jade Photography has changed permanently.

Our work is now private—designed as singular, immersive experiences.

Never replicated. Never rushed.

We won’t be for everyone & it’s deliberate. We won’t aim for scale or virality…We choose depth. We choose limitation.

Our books open soon for a small number of couples who desire to be intentionally held on their elopement day.

Fully witnessed.

We are closing the year quietly.
The rest will speak for itself.
