Hi, I am Jackie – your van-living, adventure-seeking, outdoor-loving, Las Vegas + PNW elopement photographer.

Whether you’ve been here since the beginning or are new around here, I want to say, “WELCOME.” I am so happy that you are here. Because, let’s be honest, without you, I wouldn’t be able to do what I do.

WHAT DO YOU GET WHEN A NOMADIC TRAVEL NURSE TURNS INTO A LAS VEGAS + PNW ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER?

The answer? Jackie Krueger Photo.

For six years, I worked as a travel nurse. Honestly, this job is what paved my path to learning photography and traveling.

Somewhere along the way, I discovered that I loved the outdoors, backpacking, and everything else that comes with those two things. Actually, I loved it so much that I decided to hike a 5-month trail called the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) in 2021.

During this journey, I started to truly envision myself leaving my career in nursing and pursuing a career as a Las Vegas + PNW Elopement Photographer.

Similar to my euphoric experiences on the trail, I want to provide similar opportunities for you on the best day of your life.

I know firsthand how deeply life-changing these moments can be. Honestly? There is nothing quite like making it to the top of a peak and staring at the vast landscape.

Your wedding day deserves to be an adventure just like my time on the PCT.

LAS VEGAS + PNW ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER: WHY TWO LOCATIONS?

My partner Ross and I started doing van life together in 2020 and became nomads.

We love to move around with our pup, Mose (yes, like from the Office), and basically follow the most ideal weather for elopements.

Ross is a mountain guide and also spends a lot of time outdoors. He takes clients up Washington volcanoes in the spring/summertime. In the fall and winter, he gets clients stoked to climb in Red Rocks.

I guess you can say we make a perfect match.

He has been a great support in helping me with the “guiding” side of things. If we are being honest, If you plan any bit of climbing into your elopement day, you might see him around.

Between the lush green forests and epic volcanoes in the PNW and the red sandstone and deep canyons of the desert, one cannot choose between the two. So, we chose them both!
