Coral Compass Photo Co.

to album, and I wanted to find someone with an eye for all the little details. From our very first communications, I knew working with Jess was going to be a dream. She was so sweet & genuinely invested in our wedding plans, and also thorough & detail oriented, answering all of my questions and providing me with tons of info. I was so glad her packages include an engagement shoot - it gave us an opportunity to meet her and get used to having ourselves photographed. I was not disappointed. Upon meeting Jess, she was SO SWEET and SO TALENTED! Honestly, we left the engagement shoot just gushing about how wonderful of a person she was. I don't love being in front of the camera, but she gives such great direction that we didn't have a second to feel awkward. We looked gorgeous, comfortable & natural in every single photo. Then, COVID-19 hit and threw our big wedding plans for several loops. Jess was so caring, flexible, and supportive during all this uncertainty. She proactively contacted me with all of our options, before I even had time to worry. She talked to us over video chat to discuss a new wedding plan (or plans, as they continued to shift). We ultimately moved our date up and "eloped" and she was able to shift and help us bring together a timeline for the new wedding with just a few weeks notice. I'm so grateful for the support & sense of calm she brought to all of those conversations. The wedding itself went off without a hitch, and Jess captured every moment & every detail perfectly. She also just brings her amazing sense of humor & beautiful fun energy with her, and all of our friends & family couldn't stop raving about her. The bridesmaid/groomsmen squad had so much fun getting ready while she captured all the perfect moments. She staged a gorgeous "first look" for my husband and I, and really made the moment feel personal and not just like a photo op. She directed the bridal party & our family through portrait sessions that were quick & fun (it was 90* out), while still getting like, a billion photos of everyone. She captured so many gorgeous photos, happy tears, genuine laughs, and just amazing moments that I may have otherwise missed. And the DETAILS! Detail photos galore. From the dress & jewelry, stationary, florals, picnic set-ups, she captured it all. Hold on to your hats ya'll, cause there's more. Let's talk about how this girl goes ABOVE AND BEYOND. The bride guide (& grooms guide) she sends you when you sign up - she knows her stuff!! I basically planned my whole wedding out of these babies. The total surprise mini album of our engagement shoot. The turnaround time on photos - Jess posted a sneak peak of our wedding before we were even done with the after party. She posts a blog (like, FAST) with a TON of photos to tide you over. We had our whole gallery so fast, well under the time in the contract, and all beautifully & tastefully edited. In summary, read the blog, check out the gorgeous little world of happiness & positivity that is her instagram, and you'll see what I mean. She gets to know all of her couples & feels like a part of the family by the time you get to the big day. Hands down, choosing to work with Jess was the best decision we made.

2021. Due to COVID, we were forced to cancel with our venue just three weeks before and find a new ceremony site. Jess was so flexible, she helped us create our timeline for the day and directed our guests the day of! I honestly could not imagine our wedding day without her. 10/10 would recommend! I can't wait to hire her back for our full reception in 2022!! :)

ally wanted to make sure we were happy and was willing to travel to us. The weather wasn't great and she offered to reschedule because she wanted to make sure we would be happy with the outcome. She delivered the photos quickly and always emailed me back in a timely manner. Would recommend her 100%!! We will definitely book her again when we are back in New Hampshire.

es you feel so comfortable around the camera and that was a huge plus for us! We are so excited to hire her again!!

born shots, engagement sessions, and of course our wedding! I can't say enough good things about her!!!! Thank you jess you're amazing!!!!!

to stay for our reception as a guest! 😂 she was phenomenal. Professionally, she was on schedule, she got every specific shot we asked for and MORE, and really brought our perfect day to life with her photos. There was not one bad photo in our entire gallery!! I can’t say enough great things about Jessica and her work. She is a phenomenal photographer and businesswoman. We would recommend her to absolutely anybody who’s asking!!

”. My FH and I were paying for most of this wedding on our own and had a very tight budget. Time after time I was let down by multiple photographers that despite having a nice portfolio were just way too over our budget. Then I found Coral Compass Photo Co during a random search. I took a peak at Jess’ portfolio and packages and thought she might be the one. I reached out and Jess was very prompt with responding and answering any questions/ concerns that I had. She was flexible with our needs and within a couple days we booked her. We originally said no to an engagement session but then after some thought we decided to add it on so we could get used to being photographed. During our engagement session we brought our dogs and Jess was great at capturing their personalities. She was honest about some of our ideas and if they would photograph well or not but was totally supportive about giving it a shot. She returned sneak peaks in record time and the photos were spectacular! Our wedding was scheduled for May 2020, but then Covid....Jess was one of the first people to reach out to us to check in. After much discussion we decided to postpone and Jess was super flexible with fitting our new date in her busy schedule. We decided to elope in front of our parents on our original date, and we requested that Jess be present to capture this moment as well. Once again, stunning photos in record speed. It honestly felt more like a girlfriend hanging out with us snapping some photos than someone we hired! Our postponed date was August 7th and once again Jess was with us to capture these moments. My husband who is normally extremely anxious, awkward and uncomfortable has become so comfortable with Jess that she was able to capture some pretty memorable moments of Ryan with his guard down. Once again I had some different ideas for photos and Jess was 100% up for it, but fully disclosed expectations vs reality. Well, she blew it out of the park once again. The photos are again amazing, she had sneak peaks up that night, a blog post with her faves up within a week and the finalized album already available this week! My husband and I were so sad to see Jess go at the end of our wedding, but we know exactly who to call next time we are looking for another photo shoot. I can say with certain that if you hire Coral Compass you will get way more than what you pay for.

, I am very familiar with being around photographers of every caliber... Jess is simply next level. She is aware of what is going on around her, prioritizes your needs, and delivers amazing photographs that exceed your expectations each and every time. It has been a pleasure to work with her and going forward, she will be our top choice when documenting the most special memories in our lives.

s how to capture genuine moments without looking too staged or too forced. I’m pregnant with my first child and she captured a beautiful moment of my husband holding my belly during our first look. It was not planned but she has her eyes focused on us the entire time. I also had a first look with my dad that turned a little sour when we had an uninvited guest arrive unexpected in the middle of the first look. Instead of giving my attention solely to my dad, I was focused on this person who I thought ruined this moment for me. Jess helped me snap back to reality and reassured me that he will be taken care of. She helped me relax in such a stressful moment. On top of all of this she captured BEAUTIFUL photos of my first look with my dad. You have never known this crappy moment was “ruined”. Jess saved it for me and I’m forever grateful. Jess, we love you and cannot thank you enough for your hard work. We appreciate the hell out of your hustle. Also huge thanks to Kristine your new assistant! She did an incredible job and we are so excited for you both to work together!!!

e and there is no other person I would ever want to capture our special day, so I assure you when I say, she too is the one! Yesterday we had an engagement session and I can honestly say I have never felt so confident and so super comfortable. Thank you Jess, for everything.

gled with guests and got amazing candid photos of our special day. Her prices are very reasonable and were one of the many reasons we decided on her for our special day. We will definitely use her services again. THANK YOU JESS! ❤️❤️❤️

new photographer because Jess has us as lifelong customers and friends! You will not regret choosing her!!

ing photographed so got the shots we want promptly. She was great to work with.

ted to see her amazing work at our wedding!

direction for photos, and Jess gave us exactly what we needed. We get a little camera shy, but she made the experience easy so we could relax and have fun. The final product came out better than I could have imagined and I am absolutely in love. If you’re looking for a genuine, professional, and easy-going photographer, look no further…. We can’t say enough. Thank you Jess!

. Jess was incredibly efficient and our pictures turned out better than we could have imagined! I would highly recommend hiring her for a wedding!

engagement photos only solidified this feeling. For two people who feel awkward in front of a camera, you cannot tell in our photos. Jess made us feel comfortable, she is hilarious and totally approachable. Throughout our engagement Jess would check in and helped me create our timeline for the day. During the wedding she was exactly my vision of the perfect photographer; she was early, extremely organized and gave a calming presence. We got several compliments on how quick she was to direct our very large (and complicated!) family portraits and how friendly and approachable she was throughout the day. From the previews, the blog (which is an amazing extra touch!!), the mobile apps and the goodies she sends at the end- it was truly one of the best investments of our day. I will treasure our photos forever and hope our paths cross again. I would recommend Jess 100 times over!!

n a week, and access to the rest of our photos in less than a month! Jess put up with any silly request that I had - from pictures with significant trinkets to getting a photo riding an oversized rooster prop - and was always wearing a smile while doing so! Our album came back and was truly amazingly well done and we can not wait to show all of our family and friends. The small details that Jess puts into her work do not go unnoticed are are one of the many reasons that you should consider working with her! We loved our day all the more because Coral Compass Photo Co. was apart of it!

to my wedding, was prompt, and immediately started taking photos when she got there. My husband and I had never taken professional photos before but she made us feel comfortable and gave us plenty of direction when it came to newlywed portraits. Jess captured of all the small details and special moments I was looking for as well. All of the photos came out absolutely gorgeous! I've gotten SO many compliments on my photos and am obsessed with them. I would HIGHLY recommend Jess to anyone!

on our wedding day.

comfortable. She wasn't afraid to get a little wet in the rain and it made for some amazing photos. She capture so many moments that I will forever cherish. She made us laugh and feel natural, we didn't have to pose and feel awkward at all. She sent us a few pictures right away to hold us over and getting to read her blog post about our big day was just icing on the cake. I have no doubt we choose the right person for our wedding. All our family loves the shots as much as we do! Thank you again jess! You truly are the best!

, laid back and works fast, both while taking pictures and during the editing process. She caught all of the important moments and yet somehow you also barely noticed she was there. The pictures are beautiful, and Jess was able to capture all the moments that made the day so great. We are so glad that we chose her!

and professionalism is just what you want around on such a busy day. We had a few major setbacks on our wedding day, and between the crazy weather and an evacuation right before the ceremony, things did not go as planned. Jess was able to go with the flow and jump right in to help us through the chaos which was MUCH appreciated. She was quick to help us adjust our plan, remained calm and still managed to capture all the important shots we wanted for the day. She went above and beyond a photographer's duties, and made sure we were taken care of the whole day. We couldn't have asked for a better person to have with us on our day!
