MEET NEIVA A badass kind of wedding day.
I’m Neiva Jane, a destination elopement photographer based in Ithaca, New York, who travels to the wildest, most beautiful corners of the country to photograph couples who want a badass kind of wedding day.

MEET NEIVA Every place opened my eyes a little wider.
I was born and raised in the Philippines, on warm ocean air, sugarcane fields, and the slow golden light that makes everything look like a painting. Somewhere along the way I fell hard for a camera and for chasing beautiful places through it.
Before New York, I lived all over: Fargo, St. Simons Island, Park City, Nashville, Flagstaff, Los Angeles—following culinary work first and then following the light. Every sunrise I pulled over for, every mountain I hiked toward, and every road trip with my pup made me love this country more through a lens.
THE DAY THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING Then my own micro wedding in Sedona changed everything.
Standing in that red rock saying the realest things we’d ever said, surrounded by only the people who mattered, with nowhere else to be, I understood exactly what an intimate wedding could feel like. It was honest. Quiet. Cinematic. Wild in all the right ways.
I’ve wanted to give that feeling to other couples ever since: a day with room to breathe, room to wander, room to actually remember how it felt.
The realest kind of wedding day leaves room for wonder.
