Blue Buttercup Photography

lpful! Neither of us are comfortable being photographed and she really helped put us at ease and after a few moments we completely forgot about it and the images turned out so natural and amazing. We are so grateful for Jess and highly recommend her!

moment of our wedding. She captured all of these moments without being obtrusive and stayed in the background. She especially got fantastic stills from our first dance. Our entire wedding party loved her portraits too!

rvy girl ;).

ttended one of the venue walkthroughs so she could plan where the best place was for photos. On the day, she was extremely professional and helped wrangle both Nic and I plus our extended families for multiple group shots. We had originally planned for group shots to be inside given the nature of our venue (rooftop with possible BRIGHT light) but she was able to pivot quickly due to the incredible cloudy sky we ended up with. The end results are stunning. As a bride, I was a bit stressed about the photos because they're what would be presented to the world but Jess was calm, guiding, and helped me relax into some of the best photos I've ever had taken of me. She made sure each moment was captured and had some of the best candid shots of our guests. I cannot recommend her enough. ESPECIALLY if you have pets involved in your wedding! She captured our muppet of a dog perfectly. She was able to get his personality to shine as much as ours. Finally, she got our photos back in record time and they were beautiful. The gallery she provides is easy to navigate and she gives plenty of options for each shot so you still have the ability to choose your favorite. Massive thumbs up from me, Nic, and our dog Buddy.

to working with her again soon.

having my picture taken, I've always felt completely unphotogenic and the thought of having wedding photos taken brought me huge amounts of anxiety. But Jess was completely in sync with my husband and I from the beginning. Our engagement session was so much fun. She is such a friendly and easy going person and made me feel completely comfortable. When we got those photos back, I couldn't wait to see how the wedding pics would turn out. Not only were our portraits just stunning, but she captured so many beautiful moments throughout the day, from the bridal party prep, to the ceremony, and of our guests at the reception, moments of pure love and joy that can't be staged. It's an added bonus that her pricing is so reasonable and she finished our photos and got them back to us much faster than promised. Plus, she made us a gorgeous slideshow that still makes me cry even though I've watched it about 35 times. I'm so grateful to have found her. Go with Jess, you will be glad you did.

. I’ve used her services multiple times since our wedding and I’m never disappointed.

tography come on board, our entire stress level was greatly reduced as we have a very large family scattered around and we need the best photographer and we found her, Jessica! Jessica is a very experienced and highly skilled photographer and artist. She gave us options and worked with us, she understood our needs and met our goals!! We are extremely happy with her and her work and will be hiring her again to do some of our personal event photography for our company. We may even ask if she would like to travel with us to document some of our family’s overseas vacations!! Jessica, you are amazing.

olute joy.

very time

ned. If your looking for someone that will make you feel at ease and have you enjoying your special moments Jess is the best person for the job. She has all ways taken her time and made all of us at ease even when something isn’t going right.

t for beautiful pictures. She set our nerves at ease with questions and advice that allowed us to really narrow down and focus on specific details of our big day that we wished to have captured. My husband and I left the meeting encouraged and excited to work with Jess. She followed up with a questionnaire that further solidified our desires for the day, and was available with any questions we had. On the day of the wedding, Jess showed up early and got right to work. She documented my bridesmaids, flower girl, and myself getting ready for the wedding. She did an incredible job of capturing the love and support of the women who surrounded me on that day. She then went to the wedding venue and found time to photograph the grounds before the guests arrived, and the photos she took captured the romantic, vintage garden feel that I had dreamt my wedding to be. She then came into the bridal suite where we were getting dressed, adding the finishing touches to our lipstick, and helping each other with clasping our jewelry. These candid photos turned out priceless and I will cherish them forever. Jess managed to capture every special moment over the 5 hours of the wedding and reception. She was patient and provided instruction when it came to the group photos, especially with my large extended family. She has a great eye for beautiful settings and took my husband and I out into a field full of golden, waist-deep grass. There she took the most incredible photos of our love for each other and managed to capture the pure joy that was radiating from us. I highly recommend Jess, and will recommend her to anyone I know who is planning a wedding. Her pricing is reasonable and she is quick to edit and provide you with your photos. You're also able to order photos directly from the website Jess gives you to view your photos. This is a feature that my out-of-town relatives really appreciated. Overall, I am so thankful that we chose Jess to be our wedding photographer. She is wonderful!

ed. Jess is super sweet, friendly, and talented!

even thought to consider and being attentive to what really mattered to us. She caught the moment that my new husband saw me in my dress for the first time coming down the aisle and that moment those three pictures are worth a million words to my heart and soul. She also understood that I had a bit of a different request for our big day- some photos of me with my dog. You see my dog has a terminal diagnosis and I desperately wanted some photos of him and I. Well Jess is an animal lover and she made it happen! I’d recommend her in a heartbeat and I’ll definitely ask her to be our photographer for any special event in the future. She’s hands down amazing!

t we wanted for our pictures and showed up on time ready to shoot. She blended in seamlessly and made small talk with our family. If it weren't for the camera you would have assumed she was part of the family. She worked quickly and what seemed like effortlessly and gave us some amazing pictures we will cherish for the rest of our lives. She was quick to provide her input as this was not her first wedding and gave us some wonderful tips for the day of. If you want amazingly beautiful pictures, a photographer who puts her heart and soul into her work, and someone whose purpose for that day is to make your dreams come true go with Blue Buttercup, you won't regret it.

rred. Jess is lovely! We expected to wait a few weeks for our photos and got them back in 8 days, and let me just say the photos are stunning! We’re in love with all of the shots! Jess is timely, professional, and amazing! We are so lucky to have found her and will be referring her to all of our friends!

otos turned out beautifully and the prints we received were very high quality. She was even willing to work the four legged friend who attended our ceremony. Thank you Jess!

nd more. I highly recommend Jess. Thank you so much for all that you did! I am in love with the pictures. I Can’t stop looking at them :).

e event so that you could truly enjoy it! She made sure to get plenty of photographs and was very warm and made my whole experience wonderful!

cted, she did an amazing job. We could not be happier with the outcome. She is a wonderful person and amazing photographer. We highly recommend her!

e when the zipper on my dress broke. It was 20 mins before I was to go out and no one knew what to do. Jess set down the camera, grabbed the needle, thread and scissors and fixed my dress for me!! I would not have been able to go out without what she did!! Incredible! Everyone was blown away and the show went on without a hitch!! I cannot give this girl enough stars, but 5 is simply too few. I highly highly recommend Jess to anyone needing a wedding photographer. She is truly incredible. The photos are stunning and she even caught me with infinite mirrors the very moment my sister broke the zipper off my dress and the face I was making... priceless moment! Jess, thank you for everything and I mean EVERYTHING!!

highly recommend her to anyone in need of a phenomenal photographer. She made us feel so comfortable and at ease, I was able to relax and enjoy myself. She was so kind to everyone and my family just loved her! We are looking forward to hiring her again for our family photos!! ;)

We're sneaking off to Bend for a little weekend getaway.........so I think this will be a good time for us to look at the photos and re-live the fun night we had. I love so many of the photos ......it's hard to say which one is my favorite. My only disappointment was that I didn't have you stay longer and take more photos of the rest of the evening. I shouldn't have been so worried about the money and just sucked it up and paid you more to stay longer. It would have been nice to see what else you would have captured. Lesson learned for the next bride!!! But once again, thank you so much for helping us capture the first moments of our lives as husband & wife. These photos will be cherished forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3 With much love and gratitude, Vi

, answered all of my questions up to and throughout the day and made me and my husband feel so comfortable and confident in her abilities that we were able to just relax and allow the moments to happen! She is so easy going and not at all pushy (something I was worried about since a lot of photographers can be opinionated)!! She had some really cute suggestions and we absolutely love the moments she caught! They are absolutely amazing and so is Jess!!!! We are thrilled we went with Blue Buttercup! Thank you Jess for making the memories we will be looking back on and sharing with our children and grandchildren!! <3

e captured and the beautiful story of my day that I never would have seen without her creative eye. I love the ones she got of my family, those are the most special to me! The church looks amazing as do the sculptures and paintings in the photographs! Jess, thank you so much for everything!! I could not be happier with the results and highly recommend Jess to anyone!

ojournalist website with details to services, prices, etc. I contacted several and they gave me prices but I knew from the start Jess was different. She was so patient, courteous, and I had a gut feeling that she would take care of me on my special day. She gave me so many facts, and answers to silly and all questions that I had. She understood that I was paying for my wedding and worked well with my budget and didn't try to talk me into more than I could afford. She was very professional at all times during the final details with contract all the way from I DO to DINNER. She was a delight on my wedding day and as well she was very early and prompt. She treated my family with so much respect and kindness. As for her photos.....The pictures were nothing short of a picture perfect story on film. You don't realize how much happens until you see your photos and see that everything was captured. Her artistic eye made my dreams come true. When I looked through the pictures she captured everything in the MOMENT....and for years to come and when I share them with my children. I can be proud of the classic beauty she captured in my special wedding day. I hope that if you aren't sure about who you should choose then my recommendation can put your mind and heart at ease. Jess Kristen and Blue Buttercup Wedding Photography will give you nothing short of perfection!

ith and made Joe and I feel SO relaxed and comfortable throughout the whole event! Very sweet and respectful and was just a pleasure to work with! I am absolutely amazed and ecstatic by all the pictures and I have already recommended her to several friends!!

out!! And the turnover wasn't long either for the amount of photos that she had on her plate :p A giant thank you for being phenomenal!! I recommend Blue Buttercup Photography whole heartily.

of all the things that happened during the day that I never even saw or knew about! Wedding days go by so fast, it is so wonderful to be able to look back on them through such amazing images. Her eye is beautiful and I am going to cherish these images for a very long time. I am so happy I found Jess and HIGHLY recommend her to anyone in need of a wedding photographer! She was so accommodating and easy to work with - she was definitely one of the best things about our wedding day!

o get them printed and share them with everyone! Thank you so much for everything!!

taking the photos and I would highly recommend her.

learned that she has a degree in cinematography from UCLA and is a brilliant artist!! I couldn't wait to see her photos because who better to have as your photographer for the most important day of your life, but a real artist that has been published! I wasn't disappointed, the photos give one the feeling of being right there, experiencing the event and the emotions just as I remembered it. Truly beautiful! If my day comes, I would definitely hire Jess Kristen from Blue Buttercup photography. She is personable, amiable, always smiling, and has the eye that I would expect from an artist.

rived early to set up, which was much appreciated. She was able to send us our pictures really soon after the wedding, and they turned out beautifully. I am very happy we got to work with her!
