Joshua Tree Elopement Photographer — Jenn & Pawel Photography

We believe in honoring our own traditions, and that celebrations can be as authentic and special as we are.

We have know each other for more years than either one of us care to admit. We met the old fashion way, in a bar and have been married for 13 amazing years. In fact it’s really hard to try and remember a time when we weren’t a part of each other’s lives and that makes our hearts happy.

The meaning of eloping

In an ocean full of expectations and different options, the most reliable choice is always the one that’s true to you both. Elopements are a way to celebrate your authenticity and explore your wildest dreams with those who you love.

Weddings are not cookie cutter, every wedding is different and we want that to reflect in your photos. When you see your photos for the first time or look at them years from now, we want you to be taken back to that day, that moment. Pawel and I worked hard over the years to give our couples an exceptional experience from start to finish. We like to build relationships with our couples so we can capture real emotional moments, natural, relaxed and thoughtful images.

Where do we begin. Jenn & Pawel are INCREDIBLE. We were able to find these amazing photographers, duo, our new lifelong friends on The Knot. My husband and I got engaged in Palm Springs in 2019 and wanted to have our engagement pictures in Palm Springs. We wanted a photographer that knew the area well and could take us to the best spots around the desert oasis. Look no further if the Palm Springs area is your jam. Jenn and Pawel made the experience memorable. From the moment we booked them, we knew we made the right choice. Even better when we met them. They made us extremely comfortable while taking our photos. They made us laugh non-stop and we vibed on our favorite South Park and Rick and Morty episodes. We were supposed to get married on July 3, 2020 and had to postpone due to COVID. Jenn was amazing through it all. She was able to accommodate us for a later date and was kind enough to offer an update on our engagement pictures since our wedding date got moved. We wouldn't trust anybody else with our photos. Thank you so much for everything Jenn & Pawel!<3 Love you guys!

Wow, do yourself a favor and hire Jenn and Pawel. We first found them in the beginning of the pandemic when we were planning a larger wedding and about a year before our wedding date, we decided to change everything and have a tiny destination wedding in Tahoe. They were so flexible with our changes, the travel and so supportive. They even helped with the logistical timelines and organization of our wedding. At our wedding, they we so much fun to be around, we were so relaxed and everything was effortless. AND THE PHOTOS!!! I still get compliments! They are absolutely stunning. Jenn, has such an incredible eye and will capture the most natural moments. We are in love with them, Thank you Jenn & Pawel! Work with them!!! You will love the whole experience!

We are so so SO happy we chose Jenn and Pawel to be our photographers. We eloped in Joshua Tree during the pandemic, so our team was small. We wanted people who not only did fantastic work, but folks we wanted to be around. What I loved most was how excited Jenn and Pawel were about our vision--and it was so genuine, their excitement got us more excited about our day. They were incredibly professional, worked so very well with our videographers, and captured not only our moments, but the land's and decor's moments too. There are quite a few desert photos that are stunning and we are getting enlarged to hang on our wall--it's a beautiful and subtle way to decorate our home with our memories. My partner and I often speak about them still and share ideas about taking them out to dinner because they were such fun and interesting people. I would absolutely choose the again and again for any occasion and 100% intend to do so in the near future.

If you ever find yourself working with Jenn and Pawel - just know how incredibly lucky you are. This duo was the answer to our wedding needs .....and then some. We had NO idea how to execute a ceremony and Jenn and Pawel know the area so well, have such creative ideas, incredible photography experience , great local vendor contacts, and are the EASIEST to work with. We chose to have an intimate ceremony and with Jenn and Pawel, we felt like they were our good friends just a part of the whole day. Don’t worry about feeling awkward in front of the camera- somehow they know how to make you and your partner feel very comfortable and stress free. Through the whole process- the duo was able to help us pick a ceremony site- set us up with a magical officiant - a gorgeous bouquet -and they even brought us a very thoughtful version of cake to celebrate. My wife and I have the most gorgeous memories of our wedding and because of Jenn and Pawel- we now have the most AMAZING photos too. We met Jenn and Pawel that day- but we left feeling like we had the longest time friends and we are lucky we got to have them for our most important experience.

We admired this power couples photography on IG for years. The minute we got engaged we knew we needed them to capture our special day. Two months after booking, everything had to shift due to the pandemic. Jenn & Pawel kept us sane, while reminding us to stay focused on what truly meant the most to us. They were happy to shift, adjust, and discuss as often as we needed to. They are friendly, humble, incredibly creative people that truly want the best for their couples (and pets). Their love and support wraps you in every step of the way. You will NOT be disappointed.
