Weddings & Elopements

CHOOSING A PHOTOGRAPHER THAT ALIGNS WITH YOUR VALUES



Choosing a wedding photographer is an immense act of trust. These images will become one of the precious and tangible ways that you will be able to transport yourself back to this celebration of your love. We want you to see yourself in the art and be flooded with all of the sweet nostalgia of experiencing the day all over again– the feeling of this manifestation of your love story, the way the day moved through your body, the people who witnessed and held you in celebration.


At Jasmine Tafoya Photo, we believe photographs are sacred and hold preserving this MOment in your story as a great honor. Weddings and elopements are approached with care, consent, and deep respect for the individuals and love stories being told. Our work is rooted in queer joy, celebration, and belonging. Our queer lens deeply understands that love does not need to be proven to any system or industry to be worthy of remembrance– the worth is in exactly how you exist.

This is where your magic and our magic collide to create art. read below about the process, our approach, and view transparent pricing.

When you add Jasmine Tafoya Photo to your team of inclusive vendors, you make space for our steady presence, thoughtful collaboration, and steadfast belief that your celebration can be just as authentic and unique as your love. 

With over 10 years of experience photographing weddings, we know when to step in and when to fade into the background. Our team photographs from a place of presence and curiosity, allowing moments to unfold honestly while offering gentle guidance when it serves you.

Documenting intimacy without intruding is an area of our expertise, and we strive to create an experience that is tailored to what you find meaningful and value.

The art that we create in collaboration is not about perfection – it is about presence.

Let's connect!

A Customized, Relationship-Centered Experience
Time, care, and attention are woven into every step. We are big on not assuming around here, and honoring your authentic selves is serious business. We take the time to know what matters throughout our relationship, and weave this intention through to the final gallery of photos that feel aligned with who you two are and the love you share-- not who you’re expected to be.

A Blend Of Digital + Film Photography
Every collection includes a thoughtfully curated blend of digital and film images. Film photography has a sweet nostalgia and texture that completes every Jasmine Tafoya Photo album. Your gallery will include all images in full color and a curated collection of black-and-whites– or a fully duplicated black-and-white collection, if that is what feels right to you. 

A Complimentary Engagement Session
This session is such an important part of our process– we want being photographed to feel familiar rather than intimidating. This time together allows us to connect, build trust, and get a feel for the balance of candid moments and gentle posing. We encourage nearlyweds to find inspiration for their engagement session in the moments you already savor in your life together.

Planning Support That Honors Your Desires
Collaborating on a timeline that centers how you want the day to feel, not just how it needs to run is central to our process. Together, we will thoughtfully review logistics and intentions to ensure we have all details to preserve what matters most to you. Jasmine Tafoya Photo also has a special skill for the logic puzzle of arranging family photo lists and has a thing for ensuring family photos are painless, efficient, and as little (or as much!) time as you’d like.

An Experienced, Affirming Team
Jasmine Tafoya Photo has witnessed more unions than most– over 200– and we want all of that expertise to assist our clients in envisioning and planning for a celebration of love that is exactly as you want– free from pressures of tradition, system, or industry. We are only an email away to brainstorm how to make your idea come to fruition, to recommend a trusted vendor, or affirm that ya’ll can totally have your celebration the *exact* way you want. Additionally, Brit, Jasmine’s wife, joined the team in 2022 as an assistant and has specifically trained under Jasmine as a second photographer to add an additional perspective during all the big moments of the day.

Intentional Hand Editing & Digital Delivery
All clients will receive a robust preview gallery within 72 hours of the end of our time together, followed by a carefully hand-edited gallery of film and digital images delivered within 8–12 weeks (two week turnaround time is an available add on). All photos are intentionally hand-edited with gentle retouching of your precious moments. Jasmine Tafoya Photo does not utilize AI to select or edit images-- this is an intentional value. 

Print Access & Album Design Services
All galleries include unlimited, high-resolution downloads and professional lab access directly from the gallery, with the option to print through a lab of your choosing. If you're interested in heirloom album design, this is a newer service I am offering, and I would love to work with you post gallery delivery in crafting a tangible album to be cherished forever. 

Every wedding & elopement collection includes:


"My husband and I have consistently only used Jasmine for our photography needs for going on 9 years. Jasmine always makes us feel extremely comfortable during our sessions and doesn’t pressure us to pose in ways that don’t feel authentic. She most recently photographed our wedding, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Jasmine ensured that the photography did not interrupt the flow of events while capturing the most incredible posed and candid images. We, of course, are also grateful that Jasmine’s ideology in that everyone, no matter race, gender identity, sexuality, etc., deserves beautiful memories captured through film aligns with our own. We could not be happier with our wedding gallery and will continue to recommend Jasmine to any person searching for a high quality and kind photographer." - R & K

Jasmine Tafoya Photo values transparent pricing and understands that money is deeply emotional and tied to the capitalist system we live under. If you connect with our work on a personal level and find the pricing outside of your budget, please inquire with the details of your celebration and your budget. Jasmine Tafoya Photo, as a business, was designed to take a limited number of sliding-scale projects each year. Regardless of availability, Jasmine Tafoya Photo is always happy & able to connect marriers to artists in their price range who share similar values.

Jasmine Tafoya Photo does not offer in-house film or videography services. Jasmine Tafoya Photo often teams up with Becca Ehret Films (woman & lgbtq owned business) to offer video/Super 8 coverage for marriers who want more memories documented from their wedding day & who do not wish to begin the search for an additional vendor they align with.
