Jess was phenomenal from the very first moment! She made our engagement shoot feel so effortless. She's super talented and professional. She really takes the time to get to know her clients and set up shots perfectly. Jess gives great tips for weddings and posing for photos, too! She directed everyone on our wedding day and the quality and quantity of photographs was impressive. I had peace of mind because I knew that Jess had it all under control. We just chose the photos for our album, and it was so difficult because there were too many awesome choices! So glad we get to keep them all. Thank you so, so much, Jess! We couldn't have found a better photographer.
Jess is absolutely amazing! We met Jess when she was photographing the double wedding a few years back. We were able to work with her directly and just see how amazing she truly is first hand. A few weeks later, we got engaged and we knew instantly that we needed to hire Coral Compass Photo Co for our wedding. After we confirmed our wedding venue and date, Jess was the next vendor on our list. Jess is so responsive we were confirming contracts and payments on Thanksgiving that year. The next time we saw Jess was for our engagement photos and both of us were nervous about it because neither of us had done professional photos together before. Jess instantly broke the ice and we were able to relax and have a great time during the entire session. She captured so many amazing moments during our engagement photos including some of my favorite photos with our dog. After getting those photos back, I was even more excited for her to capture all the special moments at our wedding.
Fast forward to our wedding day, Jess and Allie did a fantastic job! She made sure to let me know when she was on the way and when she arrived she made sure the boys had their act together first. It’s like she knew that thought was in my head as we were all getting ready. We had a previously planned timeline but she was so flexible in the order of getting ready photos and detail shots. Then it was time for my first look to my dad and she executed that flawlessly capturing such a special moment with my dad. The rest of the day was so relaxing and Jess made sure we captured everything we discussed and more. During our group photos our venue let the horses out for the night. Jess was absolutely on board with taking a detour so that we could capture even more photos with the herd of horses. The best part is Jess and Allie captured moments that I didn’t even think they saw and I was beyond happy to see them in our album. When she delivered our full album, I was speechless. I loved every photo and we have even joked that we need to just print all of them and make wallpaper of them. Each photo is unique and shows the best versions of us on such a memorable day. Now the tricky part is picking ones for our album that she is designing. Thank you so much for everything Jess! If you are thinking of hiring Coral Compass Photo Co, book her right away! She is worth it and I highly recommend her to all our friends and family. I know that this is only the beginning of our story with Coral Compass Photo Co.
There truly is not enough good words for Jess! Not only is she an incredible photographer who finds the best spots to take pictures while being so insanely positive to keep us smiling throughout the wedding day; she is also a friend, wedding coordinator, assists with your dog, keeps the day moving and so many other things! If you want to feel truly so comfortable and confident on your wedding day and receive the most beautiful pictures make sure you hire Jess!! She isn’t just doing her job but you can tell how truly happy she is for her clients while working behind the camera. 10000 stars!
Jess is truly one of the best photographers and people I’ve ever met. From the initial conversations, through the engagement shoot and wedding, she was nothing but kind, considerate and so helpful. I am a person who does not like pictures yet Jess made me feel like the most beautiful bride in the world! Her photos are stunning and really speak for themselves, but she went above and beyond on my wedding day to make sure everyone was comfortable and happy. Jess even helped me with non photograph related questions on my wedding day. Every single one of my guests that have seen my photos are in awe and have had nothing but kind words to pass on regarding how amazing and friendly Jess was at the wedding. I know I’ve found my photographer for all future pictures, and everyone should do themselves a favor and hire her!
Jess is truly the greatest photographer and human! From the planning, to the engagement shoot, and to our wedding day she was absolutely wonderful! She is very personable and makes taking photos a comfortable experience. I would book her a million times over and plan to have her do all our family photos in the future! Thanks again, Jess!
You cannot go wrong hiring Jess as your photographer! She is incredibly talented at what she does. She's responsible, professional, organized, and fun. Our pictures turned out amazing and we will forever cherish them. I just can't stop scrolling through our album. I am truly obsessed and I have never been one that's comfortable in front of a camera. She made us feel like royalty on wedding day and was incredible at managing our huge wedding party (9 on each side plus parents and 2 kids). She will keep you feeling calm and confident all day throughout the chaos! Not only that but she was a major help during the planning process, as my venue sent a timeline that just didn't make sense. She helped me to rework it so that we could get everything we wanted incorporated into our day. I truly felt like she was my friend, my confidant, and ultimate hype-man. I promise you you will not be disappointed in booking her! I would use her again and again!
We hired Jess as our wedding photographer and could not have chosen better! She was so great to work with--super organized, responsive and just made everything so much fun. In the past I had never thought of myself as very photogenic, but Jess captured photos of my partner and me that I will cherish forever. We are so, so glad that we chose to work with Jess and cannot recommend her enough.
Thank you Jess for taking such beautiful photos on our wedding day! Jess is an incredible photographer, with amazing talent and the best personality. She has such an effortless way of making everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera, bringing out natural smiles and laughs for photos, and capturing pure moments of joy. Her editing style is light and bright and it evokes feelings of pure happiness, which is exactly how I felt on my wedding day and also how I feel whenever I look at the photos she took. :) She is incredibly organized, and she is very accessible and approachable for any questions. She is so upbeat, comforting, hilarious, and all around fun to be around. She was amazing at directing/coordinating people and getting all the shots we wanted. It added so much to the special day to have her there. She really goes above and beyond for her couples and you can tell she really cares. I hope we get to work with Jess again in the future someday. Thank you a million times, Jess!
If I could give 100 stars I would. My wife and I hit the photographer jackpot when picking Jess for our wedding. Jess is amazing in every way. She was kind, helpful, and on point from start to finish. She will be the first person I recommend to anyone in need of a photographer and I will 100% be returning to her in the future for any other special moments I need captured!
It took me forever to write this because I’m so sad our time with Jess is over. Hiring Jess is truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Not only is she amazingly talented, she is one of the kindest souls I’ve met. She cares about getting the best photos, but more importantly she cares about you. She works with you to make your vision come to life. And honestly, she’s just so damn fun to be around. I’m anxiously awaiting the next time we need photos taken so I can call her up and hang out again. With Jess you don’t just get an amazing photographer, you get a friend. 🤍
Jess is simply wonderful! My fiancé and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about her as a person, and her wonderful photography skills. Due to her fun and genuine personality, she made our engagement photoshoot SO memorable, and an overall very comfortable and fun experience! Jess is professional, communicative, and extremely talented. Hiring her to photograph your upcoming special day is the best decision you could make!
Simply put -- Jess is the BEST! Look no further for a photographer if you are in need of one. Communicating with her about the details our of wedding was effortless on our part. From our initial conversations, engagement session and the wedding day itself -- Jess exceeded all of our expectations! We are so grateful for her STUNNING photos and also that in this experience we were lucky enough to work with such a genuine person!
It has taken me forever to write this review, solely because I’ve been in denial that my husband and my experience with Jess has come to an end.
If you are seeking a photographer that is high energy, has empathy for days, a keen eye for details and candid moments, lives for a good viral Internet song or quote, AND have I mentioned her skill at capturing detail after detail!? Jess is infinity-percent your person!
After working in PR/Marketing for over 15 years and being a photographer myself, I knew the moment I reviewed Jess’ website and social channels that she would be our first and only choice photographer. Thank goodness she had our date available!
From day one, Jess treated us like we had been friends forever (the mutual tall people vibes were seriously real). She built a connection with us that truly enhanced our experience in ways that cannot be put into words.
I won’t ever forget how she was one of the first people to reach out when I shared news of my grandfather’s passing months after we signed our contract with her and had begun planning. She may not have known this until now, but I still carry the words of comfort she shared with me every single day. She also was a saving grace by being an incredible listening ear with sound advice when I truly needed it during the last few chaotic months of planning, even more when we became concerned about lack of communication with our venue and other vendors.
I knew during our engagement session with Jess that we had made one of the best investments for our wedding, and that opinion still heavily resonates with us post- wedding.
Come our wedding day, Jess was the perfect amount of calm and hype girl we needed. She managed both of our families and crazy bridal party with ease, and every person we’ve spoken to since our big day cannot stop complimenting how bubbly, kind, and open Jess was (even those who cannot stand to be photographed have sang their praises on how comfortable she made them feel!) I still weep looking at all the detail shots she captured that incorporated heirloom items and special trinkets that had been passed down to me by my loved ones, and we’re still receiving compliments about her thoughtful blog post recapping our day a month-plus later.
Jess— there truly are not enough phrases or ways Thomas and I could properly thank you for the services you provided us during one of the most exciting times of our lives. Heck, even writing this review has been an emotional experience! You have become part of many core memories from our planning process and wedding day that I’m confident we’ll be talking about you for quite some time. Thomas and I both look forward to when we can work with you again!
Working with Jess was maybe the best decision we made for our wedding. Her photos are obviously beautiful, but she is wonderful beyond the pictures she takes. She responded to all of our emails within hours (usually minutes) and communicated with us through every step of our engagement. She made two camera-shy people feel so comfortable in front of the camera. As queer women, we knew we needed vendors who would enthusiastically celebrate our love, and Jess was our biggest hype woman from engagement shoot to wedding. We were genuinely excited to get to spend time with her on our wedding day! We only hope we’ll get to work with her again in the future! We will never stop singing her praises!
Jess is simply the best photographer there is! She has done our engagement photos, COVID wedding, maternity photos and soon our newborn pictures. There is no one else I would want to capture our major life moments except for her. She is such a good human with amazing vibes always and someone I now consider such a good friend. You will not be disappointed if you book with her! If it’s your first time in front of the camera or the 50th, Jess will make you feel so comfortable, confident and beautiful 💕 she is simply the best!
You won't regret booking Jess. As her other reviews mention, she is a hype woman extraordinaire. Jess was amazing at every stage of our wedding photos process. She is super responsive to inquiries, and delivered all of my photos so quick! She got incredible shots of my partner and I, and her editing skills are unmatched. I haven't stopped singing Jess' praises!
When I hear a couple a has hired Jess as a photographer I get so excited! It means we are going to have a kick ass wedding day, filled with fun, laughs, order, and beautiful photos to top it off. She’s fully committed to her couples and serving the best of her skills. Jess is a vendor I’m always happy to work alongside!
Hire Jess immediately! Her photos are obviously amazing, but more importantly, she is amazing on the day-of. She’ll keep you laughing and she’ll make you feel like a model, even if you’re usually nervous in front of the camera. Jess helped to make our wedding the best day ever. She is a timeline master and helped to keep things moving while keeping us calm. Our bridal party and families kept saying how much they loved working with her!!
It has taken me a little while to write this review. Mostly because it’s hard to find the right words to express just how amazing Jess was as our wedding photographer. Jess took care of EVERYTHING. Making our timeline, organizing everyone, coordinating the chaos, and keeping everyone smiling and laughing. When rain was in our forecast for wedding day I was devastated. But Jess reassured me throughout that she had a plan and somehow even with the rain on and off we got absolutely incredible outdoor pictures. She kept me calm and was so comforting and supportive. She’s an all around great human. Her energy is infectious. Our wedding pictures are better than we dreamed of. She really captured us and they look so natural and unposed. We felt the same way with our engagement shoot. The pictures came out amazing and she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Can’t imagine our wedding day without Jess. She is the best! Multiple people after the wedding asked me if Jess was a friend of mine, that’s how much she connects with her couples.
Working with Coral Compass Photo Co. from start to finish was such a wonderful experience. Jess goes above and beyond with her clients. She sent us the most amazing welcome/congrats package when we first signed on, which made us feel so special and got us excited to work together. Our engagement photo session was a great introduction to how she works. She made us feel at ease during the session and has such a fun-loving energy that is truly infectious. Jess is great at giving the couple different poses to try that felt and looked so natural. Leading up to the wedding, Jess was incredibly prepared and helped Leo and I prepare as well. She is super communicative and great at direction/keeping us in the loop. On the wedding day, Jess went above and beyond to make sure she got all of the photos we wanted. She took the lead and was great at organizing our huge bridal party and family into lovely and natural photos. Her assistant Hailey was amazing as well and it was so great to work with them both! And on top of all that, Coral Compass produced AMAZING PHOTOS. I love how the true moments were captured in such an authentic way. Thank you so much Jess for being so great and giving us these photos and an experience that we’ll cherish for a lifetime.
There just aren’t enough words to fully express how wonderful Jess is. Not only is she incredibly talented but she is an amazing person. From the moment my now husband and I met Jess for our engagement session, we felt comfortable, at ease and we knew we wanted her to be the one to capture every big moment in our lives. Jess is professional, has exceptional communication, and is amazing at what she does. The way she captures light and love in her pictures is incredible. We are absolutely in love with our pictures from our engagement session and our wedding. We also were so impressed with how quickly we received our proofs and wedding album. My husband and I highly recommend her!
Jess was absolutely amazing. She took excellent candids, had an eye for using natural light, and facilitated family portraits with a light touch. Very pleased with her energy and work ethic. Would recommend 100%
Five stars do not describe Jess well enough, she deserves like 100 stars lol. From start to finish she was nothing short of amazing and communicated so well. She made our wedding stress free and I cannot thank her enough. We always felt so relaxed and comfortable when being photographed by her. She gives every couple her absolute all and truly cares. Her talent is insane and all her photos are perfection. I’m sad our wedding is over but feel like Jess is now family and will forever be our photographer for any life event! Jess is an absolute must for your wedding.
Jess was so much more than we could have asked for. Honestly! I would refer to all of my friends and family. She is like that best kept secret that you don’t want other people to hear about just to keep her to yourself. After meeting with Jess the first time we instantly knew she was perfect for us, the amount of energy and overall love for job was infectious! Her professionalism and passion for what she does shines in her work. Most of all, her overwhelming talent far exceeds anything you will find for your wedding. If I could talk to anyone considering hiring Jess face to face I would jump up and down and tell them that they would be crazy to pass on the opportunity to use her. She perfectly captured the beauty and joy of our wedding.
Jess was one of the absolute best parts of my entire wedding. From the engagement shoot to the big day, she made us feel so comfortable and welcomed. My husband is not one who enjoys taking pictures at all, yet he was truly smiling and laughing the entire time because of her. She is hilarious and has an amazing eye for photos. She is patient and sweet and such a pleasure to work with. Her excitement for her clients and the joy she expresses finding that perfect picture is contagious and makes you feel like you've known her your whole life and that you are the most special people on the planet. She is super responsive, super adaptable and goes out of her way to send you helpful tips, little gifts and reminders. I simply cannot say enough good things about her, I highly recommend her to anyone out there and I know I will be using her services for any future photography I will need.
We feel like there are almost no words to describe how above and beyond Jess is! From the sweet little gifts in the mail to making us feel so comfortable in front of the camera she always exceeded all our expectations. She is an incredible photographer but even more important an amazing human being. Her warmth and kindness made all of our family and friends feel gorgeous and special. We kept saying throughout the day that she is the ultimate hype woman! Jess’s amazingness continued after our day. She delivered sneak peeks that night, blog post was a week later and our complete album was delivered 2 1/2 weeks after our wedding day. Once we opened our album we both sat there with tears in our eyes and sat there in awe at how beautifully she captured our day. We couldn’t have imagined our wedding day without Jess and her talent. We can’t wait to have Jess capture all of our big life events!
Jess is beyond amazing. Her photos speak for themselves, she can capture and harness light like no photographer I've seen, and she has an amazing eye for finding the perfect backdrop for the shot. But, above and beyond her photographic magical abilities is her ability to put this self conscious bride at ease in front of the camera. I hate having my picture taken, and she made our wedding day FUN for the posed shots; and for the candid shots she's like a photo ninja- she was everywhere, but not ever noticeable. She is just such a joy to work with, a true professional, and insanely organized and on top of everything. And I'm blown away by how quickly we got our proofs and our wedding album. I'm in love with all of the pictures.
If you have to plan your wedding day around Jess' availability- do it. You will not be disappointed. I can not recommend her highly enough.
I can’t even begin to describe how amazing working with Jess was. To driving over an hour to a random spot for our engagement photos, to rebooking our wedding a year later due to covid. She was such an amazing person to work with, I was very picky about pictures I did not want and she took that request and made sure I had all the pictures I did want. She is such a bright star and I couldn’t of imagined anyone else as our photographer. It honestly felt more like just having a friend attending our wedding. 1000x recommended Jess and her beautiful personality and work. She is amazing.
- We can’t recommend Jess enough! From first phone call over 2 years ago (thanks COVID) to our wedding day, Jess was incredibly helpful in answering all my questions, helping to figure out details around timeline and was the best hype woman on the big day. She made all of us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and her work speaks for itself — absolutely incredible!!
I can’t say enough about how much we love Jess! She is an incredible photographer and just a great person to be around. The perfect combination of organized and flexible - do not look further for any of your photography needs. I had a very large wedding party of all ages and EVERY single person told me how amazing Jess was during/after our wedding. I even had 3 of them ask for her contact information for their own weddings. The extra benefits she includes along the way with her packages are just gravy!! My husband and I feel we have found our photographer for LIFE!
Jess is AMAZING! My husband and I originally hired Jess for an elopment in Maine. We ran into..well..life....then bad weather...and in the end ended up eloping rather quickly and Jess was so flexible! I can't tell you enough how amazing she is! She knows what she is doing and we could tell that as soon as we met her! She also got our photos back to us in record time! We are in love with our photos! We are forever a Coral and Compass couple and can't wait to hire Jess again for future photo sessions! Thank you, Jess! ❤❤❤
Made it an amazing experience for everyone involved, made my bride feel so comfortable and happy, she can't say enough amazing things about Jess. 10/10 recommend
We hired Jess as our photographer for our upcoming August wedding, and we could not have chosen a better person for the job! We instantly fell in love with her incredible photos and style, and when we met her for our engagement shoot last summer she instantly made us feel comfortable. We had never had our photos taken professionally, but Jess made the experience so easy and fun! She truly is one of he kindest people we have ever met and has gone above and beyond for us as she does for all of her clients. We can’t wait to see her on our wedding day and to cherish her amazing photos for the rest of our lives! If you are looking for an amazing photographer and human to join you on your big day- Jess is your girl!
I could not recommend Jess at Coral Compass any more highly! Not only are her photographs bright and beautiful, she's also fun and makes everyone feel so confident in front of the camera. She went above and beyond for our wedding in February of 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!! :)
Jess is a photography Goddess! Our Wedding was freezing, snowing, raining, and outdoors. It really couldn't have been any harder for her but she managed to get amazing photos. We couldn't be happier!
Amazing!! Jess took our portrait session for our Christmas card pictures. The pictures were absolute perfection. There were so many amazing photos. She gave us many more photos then we were expecting, and was such a breeze to work with! Jess really 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.
Jess was simply amazing! She’s organized, fun and keeps everyone on their toes. We are thrilled that we chose her to capture our wedding day. My family raved about her. Our wedding pictures came out phenomenal! High quality! Her personality makes you feel so comfortable around the camera and that was a huge plus for us! We are so excited to hire her again!!
Jessica is absolutely amazing!!!!! Not only did her pictures come out amazing but her personality and awesomeness are uncompareable! You will not be disappointed with jess no matter what the occasion! She has done all my families portraits, new born shots, engagement sessions, and of course our wedding! I can't say enough good things about her!!!! Thank you jess you're amazing!!!!!
Jessica photographed our wedding ceremony, family portraits and first dance for us on 09/12/20. My first impressions were that she was personable, friendly and punctual. By the time she left, though it was so much more than that- we wanted her 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!!
If you are looking for a fun, knowledgeable, supportive, AFFORDABLE, punctual (in every way) photographer then Jess is your girl! When I began searching for the right photographer for our wedding, I was told many times “you get what you pay for”. 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.
Jess is not just an incredible photographer, but person as well. Her eye for detail, way of making you feel special, contagious laugh, and outgoing personality just skim the surface of what she has to offer. Being in the wedding industry myself, 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.
Jess is INCREDIBLE!!!
I had my wedding during the COVID19 pandemic and she eased all of my worries. She was prompt, easy to talk to, had a clear vision & eased all worries, stress & wedding day drama.
Not only is her work incredible, she knows 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!!!
Jess was absolutely amazing, if I could give her a million stars I would. Finding the perfect photographer was at the very top of my list, so I really did my research, and I am SO lucky that I went with Jess. I'm sentimental & I LOVE a good photo 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.
If you’re looking for the most amazing wedding photographer for your perfect day, look no further! Jess from Coral Compass is by far a goddess with a beautiful soul and her work is even more amazing. I have been waiting for this day for a decade 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.
Jess was simply amazing when she shot our wedding in September. She is so down to earth and incredibly professional. My husband and I had never had pictures taken and it was a little awkward for us but Jess made us feel so comfortable. She mingled 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! ❤️❤️❤️
Jess is simply AMAZING all around! She went above and beyond for my husband and I when things weren't exactly going as planned for our wedding. Our photos are SO beautiful and everything we dreamed of and more 💕 We hope we never have to find a new photographer because Jess has us as lifelong customers and friends! You will not regret choosing her!!
Jessica showed up in the chaos of pre ceremony festivities. She asked me exactly what shots I wanted and during the ceremony I didn't even realize she was there ! She captured the most important aspects of our day and realized quickly I hate being photographed so got the shots we want promptly. She was great to work with.
Incredible! Jess made sure everything went off smoothly and we saw some of the completed work soooooo quickly after our big day. Jess was the first vendor we booked before we were married and I would book her again in a second
Jess is so easy to work with and makes you feel at ease. She really puts time and attention to detail into what she does and you can tell she is truly doing what she loves! We have only had our engagement shoot with her and I am already so excited to see her amazing work at our wedding!
After looking at her website forever and falling in love with every photo, I knew I had to go with Coral Compass Photo co. I could not have made a better choice! Jess was absolutely awesome and great to work with. My husband and I need a lot of 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!
I am thrilled we made the decision to have Jess as our photographer! From the beginning, her communication was excellent. At the wedding she made sure we were happy the shots she was getting and gave us direction to make sure we looked our best. Jess was incredibly efficient and our pictures turned out better than we could have imagined! I would highly recommend hiring her for a wedding!
I discovered Jess by seeing her on several wedding Facebook groups and LOVED her style of photography. From the second I talked to Jess I knew she was meant to be our photographer, I booked her as soon as we could! Meeting her in person for our 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!!
Coral Compass Photo Co. can not be beat! Jess and Jaci were incredibly personable and made our whole wedding party comfortable throughout the whole day. Jess works so hard and loves what she does! We had our blog with our preview in less than 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!
Right off the bat Jess was awesome to work with! She was super informative and answered all of my questions so promptly. I immediately felt at ease and felt she knew exactly what I was looking for in a photographer. She drove almost FIVE HOURS 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!
Jessica with Coral Compass made our wedding amazing!
She was: professional, helpful, punctual, informative, worked with our budget, creative photographer. Jess replied promptly to text messages and emails quickly.
She made us feel very special on our wedding day.
I would recommend Jess to everyone! She understood my vision and made it come to life. Once we saw her pictures we knew we found someone with a great eye. She showed up on time and ready to go. We meet on my wedding day and she made us feel so 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!
We loved working with Jess! From the first moment we started working with her to the moment she sent us our finished photos (and beyond), Jess made us feel comfortable and confident in ourselves and our choice to work with her. She is easygoing, 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!
I highly recommend Jess to anyone looking for a reasonable, down to earth photographer to be part of their big day. Not only are we thrilled with the pictures she took (they came out GREAT and perfectly captured our day), but her organization 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!
Jess was amazing!!!! She made us feel so comfortable and care free. She got all of the shots we wanted and had some awesome suggestions! She is a very talented photographer. Would highly recommend!
