Let’s Rock N Roll

Hey Yo! I’m Jaci Berkopec! An adventure elopement, intimate wedding photographer based out of the Hudson Valley of New York. I frequently travel back and forth to my good ol’ home state of Minnesota to photograph weddings and elopements as well. You’re here for a reason and that’s freaking awesome! Let’s talk shop…

My way of shooting is photojournalistic and candid. I'm NOT about posing you in multiple (and awful) "prom-like poses" that make you feel stiff and awkward. That is just plain weird and talk about BORING. Here's how I Rock N Roll: I want to get to know your love story so I can photograph the way it actually FEELS for you and your partner in crime. These images we create together will document who you really are, your quirks, your laughs, your tears. I will be there to capture the moments where you light each other up, the glimmer in your eyes and in your hearts when you look at each other. And of course the moments where you laugh so hard you cry, you get cake shoved up your nose, or you fall over from dancing too hard. Because THOSE moments are the real, authentic, wonderful moments of your elopement or wedding day. Those are the moments you will want to remember and cherish for the rest of your lives. If these are the moments you cherish, then you have come to the right place.

It's these small, bright lights, seemingly unforgettable moments, that will forever live on the pages of your book in your continually growing story.

The masterpiece of your love

We all have our quirks and perks, which is why we are all unique and ultimately the reason we fall in love with one another. This is why I love weddings, elopements, and engagement photography. It is so much fun to learn about my clients and their love stories. Everyone is so different and it is truly magical to watch moments and stories unfold in front of my lens. Not only will I be out there with you guiding you through poses, being your number one hype girl, and making sure you’re hydrated, but I will be doing so much more. I am constantly catching the little things, the moment your mom wipes a tear from your father’s cheek, the look your partner gives you when they see no one but you. I capture the tender, soft, intimate moments between you, your person, and your loved ones.

But you best know I am going to be catching all those crazy rage moments of you and your squad ripping tequila shots or twerking to your fave songs. Because let’s be honest, I’ll be dancing too.
