RAW ARTISTIC AUTHENTIC LOVER OF LIGHT
Jekka, at the helm of Naturally Jek Photography, embodies the spirit of adventure, an aficionado of light, and a capturer of intimate moments. With a gypsy soul that cherishes human connections, artistic expression, and the boundless beauty of nature, she's more than a photographer; she's a storyteller. Since leading an adventure elopement team formed in 2019 and offering mentorship programs, co-hosting an elopement photographers' retreat represents the pinnacle of her creative journey and fervor.
For Jekka, photography transcends beyond a mere profession. It's an integral part of her identity, an extension of her very being. It's about immortalizing fleeting moments, about holding onto the ephemeral.
And what sets her heart racing? The unbridled joy of capturing life's raw, authentic moments, forever etching them in time.
