Located in Kansas City, KS, epagaFOTO is a wedding photography studio composed of four skilled photographers. The award-winning studio serves weddings in the Kansas City area, though they are happy to take on destination weddings. Their photographers aim to capture refined pictures while maintaining an unobtrusive presence during photoshoots.
Jessica Roark founded epagaFOTO in 2004, initially operating business out of her apartment. In the years since, Jessica has upgraded to a professional studio space with three associate photographers. Mary Beth, Hannah, and Allyson are all highly trained photographers with extensive experience in photographing weddings.
Jessica and her team are excellent at translating ideas into art. Whether you know what style they are looking for or need some direction, Jessica has you covered. They base their techniques on a photojournalistic style so you can feel comfortable in front of the lens. As the studio’s editing process involves only minor fixes, the natural emotion in each photo is able to shine through. They strive to keep pictures authentic, and utilizing minimal editing helps photos retain the organic style that their clients love.
The studio offers several packages for wedding photography. Jessica’s packages are the most comprehensive and are ideal for couples intent on ordering prints or who would like to bundle in an engagement shoot. All wedding packages include a second photographer and the option to add à la carte services. To book their services, the studio requires an onsite wedding planner on the day of the wedding.

It's been almost six months after my wedding, and I still get joy just seeing the photos and their quality. Picking epagaFoto was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding day! Specifically, I hired Hannah, and she was an absolute joy to work with on our wedding day. From the very beginning, she had such a laid-back and calming presence, which made the whole experience feel natural and stress-free. They blended in seamlessly, capturing all the big moments and the little in-between. My husband was not excited about having all the phots taken for the wedding, but Hannah put him at ease.
The quality of the photos speaks for itself—every shot is beautifully composed, full of life, and truly reflects the emotions of the day. Looking through them brings us right back to each moment, and we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. Beyond their talent, we genuinely enjoyed spending the day with Hannah and her second shooter, Ethan. They made everything feel effortless and fun, which is exactly what we wanted. If you’re looking for a photographer who captures stunning images while making you feel completely at ease, we can’t recommend them enough!

Mary Beth and Ethan were both amazing to work with during our wedding. Mary Beth made me feel so comfortable and confident while crafting our day of timeline and just helping us prep all the necessary details. They were both incredible on the day of, making sure that my husband and I felt comfortable and calm ahead of the ceremony and just making the photo experience super fun! Cannot say enough good things about them both.

Mary Beth and Ethan did an amazing job at our wedding. She was so helpful with coming up with a timeline for the entire day and scoped out a bunch of areas downtown close to our venue to take pictures at. Even when it ended up raining, she had a backup plan. We had a great experience with them and would highly recommend!

Mary Beth photographed our engagement photos, rehearsal dinner, and wedding and did a tremendous job. She was incredibly communicative and made sure to take into account our location preferences (and picked out spots that were less common and perfect for a hotter day). Her and the second shooter at the wedding (Mike) were incredibly enjoyable to work with and made the day go smoothly. She was quick to recognize any time people were starting to get fidgety or tired while still making sure we got every photo on our shot list. Having her photograph the rehearsal dinner was the perfect way for her to meet important people to us the day before and capture additional candid moments. Additionally, the photos turned out awesome (and so many of them!) - we couldn't be happier and love the bright, crips & natural editing style. We certainly plan to use her in the future!

Jessica photographed our wedding, and she and Ethan were phenomenal! Leading up to the wedding, she will spend as much time as necessary to get to you know you and your preferences and to give advice on what photographs well. Day of, she keeps everyone calm, on time, and laughing. We ended up with unique and stunning photos. If Jessica is available for your event, book her!

We selected Jessicaa Roarke of EpagaFoto after an extensive search for the best photographers in Kansas City. What drove us toward Jessica and EpagaFoto in general was their bright and dynamic asthetic, since we were hoping for colorful and dynamic wedding photos. Jessica probably knew that it was Blair that chose her, but when it came time to decide where to do our first look, Jessica sided with Bobby and we all agree it was the right choice. Jessica knows what will make a moment and seeks it out throughout your special day, even when you are distracted or caught up in the details. On the day of our wedding Jessica and her second photographer captured every moment, from the quiet and meaningful moments of our ceremony and ketubah signing to the funny moments when one of the groomsmen split his pants. We can look back on our wedding album and re-live our joyful moments, as well as appreciate the artful shots that only Jessica could see. I don’t lose a second of sleep over the cost of Jessica and EpagaFoto… they were worth every penny and I can’t wait to enjoy their photos for a lifetime.

We absolutely loved working with Jessica! She did such a great job of making sure our day was perfect. The photos she took captured our day beautifully. She has an excellent eye for detail and is very aware of her clients wants/needs. She made me and my husband feel completely comfortable while shooting both our engagement and wedding photos. On our wedding day, Jessica brought Mary Beth with her as her second shooter who was also excellent. Highly, highly recommend!!!

She captured exactly what we were looking for and I am so happy we were able to work with her for this special event in our lives. I highly recommend working with her!

Hannah with EpagaFOTO was amazing! She was so laid back and easy going during a stressful and busy wedding day, and made us feel very comfortable. It was extremely hot outside and she worked with us to make sure we got the photos we wanted while taking breaks from the heat. She was open to ideas and offered her help throughout the entire planning process. Lastly, the pictures were incredible! She captured us better than I could’ve ever imagined! We will cherish them forever!

I am so glad we hired Jessica as our photographer for our wedding last fall. Her photos of our wedding in KC were beautiful and she was an utmost professional during the whole day of activities.
She brought a lot warmth during the wedding day. And she had an eye for capturing the emotion of us and our guests in her photos.
She was very communicative throughout the planning process leading up to the wedding and was willing to work with us on a few special requests we had as we planned.
Jessica is also just neat person to know and work with, as she runs her own small business in KC in photography.
Highly recommend - thank you Jessica!

We loved epaga! Jessica and Mary Beth did an amazing job shooting our wedding. On the day itself, they brought a great energy - they were on time, they were in great moods, and they made everyone comfortable, which helped us get great photos, especially the candids of us and our guests. We also got all the more formal photos that my family really wanted (various combinations of siblings, aunts, uncles, extended family) - I was worried about these taking up too much time from our reception, but Jessica and Mary Beth were very efficient at organizing the shots. They also delivered on the discussions we had in advance about what we wanted to capture, making sure they focused on the people and moments we wanted.
And, most importantly, we ended up with beautiful photos!! I absolutely love their style. I will definitely hire them again in the future and have recommended them to all my friends.

We loved working with Jessica and her team - they brought high energy to our wedding day and kept our large group excited and attentive during the longer photo sessions. Jessica and Allyson also did a great job of capturing the energy of our Greek wedding and we enjoyed working with them throughout the wedding planning process.

I have known Jessica since high school and not only did she take our (amazing) wedding photos, but also my high school senior photos and our engagement photos. When I was in high school, I told Jessica that one day I wanted her to take my wedding photos and that dream came true this November! We had the best time working with her and she fit in so perfectly with our crazy Greek crew on our wedding day. Jessica and her associate, Allyson, truly created magic for our wedding day - there is no better way to describe it! The photos they took will truly be the photos we look back fondly on and show to our children one day. Our friends and family also commented how well they captured our personalities and the energy on our wedding day in our photos (which were delivered pretty quickly.) We always love the photos we receive from epagaFOTO and are so blessed to have had them capture our wedding day!

We had a truly fantastic experience with epaga, specifically with Jessica and Allyson. Allyson came to Chicago where we live to do our engagement photos and made it so easy for us. She spent way more time with us than we would have expected and the pictures turned out great. Jessica was outstanding on our wedding day and is a true pro — she worked so well with everyone and kept it fun and stress free. We had 6 little kids in the flower girl and ring bearer crew and she was great at keeping them all happy. And she put in much effort to incorporate both families throughout. Our pictures turned out wonderfully and captured the true essence of the day. We highly recommend!

This group has a stellar reputation so when I booked so I knew I was going to get great wedding pictures but WOW. I am blown away. My wedding was just a few days ago so I’ve only seen sneak peaks but they are incredible. I love the style of photography she used represents the day exactly as it was. We worked with Hannah and she was phenomenal - on time, efficient, a joy to work with, got all of the specific photos I requested. I can’t wait to see the rest of the photos she captured. EpagaFOTO is a must book!!!!

We used epagaFOTO from a recommendation from our Wedding Planner. We relocated from Kansas City to GA and met Hannah via Zoom, during our brief introduction getting to know her and her finding out what kind of photos we would like to capture we knew she was the perfect fit. You spend the most time with a photographer during the day of events and Hannah was great to work with. Whether it was corralling family member for large group photo or capturing moments at the reception with special guests we were very pleased. We had some transportation issues upon our departure from the Church and Hannah did an excellent job audibling and coming up with great photos as we had to skip some locations. I would recommend anyone to use epagaFOTO and request Hannah's services.

I picked Epaga because I really love the documentary shooting-style they bring to the table in regard to wedding photography. We do, of course, have the photos you'd expect, but Hannah went out of her way to find interesting angles and locations I hadn't thought of initially. Her second shooter, Mary Beth was no different- she provided the exact look and feeI that I loved from Hannah's portfolio to a plum.
These ladies are great and I hope you pick them, too!

We loved working with Hannah at epagaFOTO for our wedding! Due to covid our ceremony plans changed a few times but Hannah never skipped a beat. Hannah brought the best energy to our day and truly felt like family by the end of the night. Our final images are stunning. Hannah's photojournalistic approach resulted in so many amazing, authentic moments being captured. We can't recommend epagaFOTO enough!

We heard of epagaFOTO from several family friends who hired them for their weddings and had amazing things to say. Jessica and her team exceeded our expectations and more! The first time we met Jessica she immediately put us at ease and made us feel like our best selves at our engagement shoot. On our wedding day, Jessica and Mary Beth made it feel like we were hanging out with a friend and despite the hot temps they made taking the photos fun. We are in awe of how filled with love and light the photos are. The most candid and intimate moments were captured beautifully. Beyond her technical expertise, Jessica is a joy to work with. We will treasure these photos forever. Thank you epagaFOTO!

I met Jessica back in 2018 while I was working with her at a wedding. When I got in engaged in 2020 I knew I couldn’t have anyone else be my photographer. She has already gone the extra mile since booking her. We currently live in Virginia and plan to get married in KC in 2022. She wanted to make sure we were comfortable during our engagement pictures and wanted our backdrop to be where we call home. She flew all the way out to Virginia to take our engagement pictures. We planned everything out and when it got closer to the day rain was in the forecast. She wanted to make sure we got all the pictures we wanted and even if there was rain, a plan was in place. If that meant an epic rain photoshoot or extending her time in Virginia she was going to do anything in her power to make sure we got everything we wanted. The weather held off and we had a beautiful session. Our pictures are amazing and my fiancé and I couldn’t be happier.
We are looking forward to our wedding day with Jessica and her team!

We completed our engagement photo session with Hannah at epagaFOTO in April 2021. We could not have asked for a better experience!!
We absolutely love our photos. Hannah listened to my requests and also gave great suggestions for locations/photo opportunities. She was so enthusiastic and charismatic - she made us feel so comfortable and enjoy the experience/moment. I was a little nervous as my fiancé is a little camera shy and he was a little apprehensive as to what to do during a professional photography session. Hannah guided us through the entire process and was SO helpful - she showed us how to pose and told us exactly what to do. I even sent her some pictures of possible outfits prior to the shoot so that I could get her opinion on best photo outfits. We feel so comfortable with Hannah after the 2-hour engagement shoot - spending time with her already will definitely ease our nerves on actual wedding day!
We are looking forward to working with her again at our rehearsal dinner and our wedding! epagaFOTO is the best!

Hire Hannah Taylor now! Planning a wedding during the pandemic was full of challenges but Hannah saved the day…specifically my day! 😊 She has such a passion for capturing the love story between the couple. She was a pleasure to work with and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Our photos turned out absolutely perfect and made special gifts for my family. After the day/evening ends its truly your pictures and memories you have to look back on. So, invest in a quality photographer and pick Hannah!

Finding an incredible photographer for our wedding was our #1 vendor priority, and we absolutely found that in Jessica and EpagaFOTO. Jessica and her wonderful second Hannah were professional, creative, knowledgeable, and just so fun to work with! We felt so comfortable working with them and they were so excellent at capturing the big and intimate moments, all the small details and the shots we never would have thought of. Jessica’s work is so very thoughtful, there wasn’t a detail or a moment that she missed. We are obsessed with our photos and couldn’t have dreamed of a better wedding photographer. Jessica is an absolute pro and made our planning experience infinitely better.

Our wedding was planned from start to finish in less than 3 weeks in the hopes my sister could attend as she was undergoing treatment for her cancer. It was important to my husband and I to chose vendors that we trusted and were flexible with our unconventional time frame and needs. Through family and friend's weddings, we knew of epagaFOTO to not only be insanely talented and professional, but so enjoyable to be around. We didn't think twice in asking Jessica and her epagaFOTO team to be a part of our big day.
Jessica made us feel at ease from the moment we contacted her and exceeded our expectations both the day of and the quality of work she created. Unfortunately my sister was unable to physically be with us due to her condition, but we were able to have her there virtually. epagaFOTO perfectly captured the emotions and feelings throughout every part of the day, even with the last minute changes. From getting ready with my sisters, mom, aunt and mother-in-law, to the intimate family ceremony and dinner to our friends joining us for cocktails and dancing... we're so thankful to have these special moments captured.

I could never say enough amazing things about Jessica Roark with epagaFOTO! She previously photographed one of my best friends weddings and I knew from that day forward that I needed her in my future wedding plans. She is incredible to work with - passionate, kind, supportive, creative, understanding, and flexible. My husband and I were thrown quite a curveball with COVID-19 and our wedding. Jessica supported us every single step of the way as we pivoted plans, made adjustments to our day, and had some pretty demanding requests. Jessica captured & told our story in the most perfect way. Our wedding day (and now our lives) would not have been the same without Jessica and all her love!

Her and Amy were nothing but amazing and were very accommodating! Jessica helped us with our timeline to optimize our lighting for one of the shortest days of the year, and the photos were nothing short of spectacular. We told her anything she advised we were up for, and the rain photos we got on our wedding are awesome! Thank you Jessica and Amy for taking such good care of us!

When I booked epagafoto I knew I was in good hands. They are one of the most reputable photography studios in KC and it only takes 5 minutes on their website to draw the conclusion that all of their work is simply stunning. However, I had no idea the extent to which the associates at epagafoto would help me not only develop my wedding vision but also execute my perfect wedding day. They go so far beyond capturing your day. They not only take time to get to know you and your SO, but they also help tremendously during the planning process and you end up feeling very taken care of by your photography team and especially your lead associate (i.e. your primary photographer). I booked with Hannah and I could not recommend her more highly. Hannah immediately clicked with us and she was always quick to respond when I had a question. She also helped direct and focus our day in a way that only your photographer can although you don't expect her to. Through conversations with her, we were not only able to identify the moments and details that were most important to us, but we really began to envision what our day would be like. In our planning process she was sure to make sure we thought of every conceivable detail-- did we want to do a certain tradition? who were the people most important to us? what unique family traditions should she be sure to capture? all the way down to, "if you want a portrait of your dress hanging in the windows don't forget to have a nicer-looking hanger!" She was full of advice when asked, offered tips and tricks of the trade, but most of all, she was there for us throughout the process in a way we didn't expect. Of course, with this level of service and expertise our photos also turned out beautifully (When you book with any photographer at epagafoto that goes without saying)! Bottom line: I cannot recommend Hannah or any of the photographers at epagafoto more. They are professional, exceptionally skilled, and all around wonderful wonderful people to work with!

From the moment I met Mary Beth I knew I had found the perfect photographer! I knew at that exact moment she was the photographer that I would pick. She made the process so seamless and made me feel so at ease with our timeline! I couldn't have been more confident with my decision. Besides being an amazing photographer she is also the greatest hype girl during photos and an absolute warrior on that dance floor snapping photos! We absolutely loved Mary Beth and EpagaFOTO!! Would recommend to any bride to be. :)

I cannot imagine having a different photographer for our wedding! We used Hannah Taylor for both our engagement photos and wedding photos. Planning a wedding from a different state was not easy and Hannah made the process seamless! When our transportation broke down the day of, Hannah and her assistant with out a doubt put me at ease. We got our sneak peak pics back SO quickly and everything was perfect! She captured our day perfectly. I would not recommend anyone else!

Our family has epagaFOTO on speed dial! Allyson has photographed two family weddings for us and we would consider her a friend. Our first wedding was a trial run with epagaFOTO and by the second wedding, once we had Allyson scheduled, I'm not sure we even discussed much of what we needed because we knew Allyson would perform to the standards for which we have become accustomed to. Our photographs were professional, special and captured everything we could have asked for on each magical day. If you want epagaFOTO for your special occasion and they aren't available, I would suggest changing your date!

Allyson was absolutely amazing! Our wedding was beyond perfect, and the photos she was able to capture prove just that! We couldn’t have chosen a better photographer. She was great in all aspects. So easy going and fun to be around and made our lives so easy. We didn’t have to think twice about making sure she got the pictures we wanted, because she knew exactly what to do and made sure our needs were met. If we had a wedding do-over, we would 110% still choose Epagafoto.

Mary Beth Russell is nothing short of amazing. She (and epagaFOTO) came highly recommended and I can say without a doubt the hype is all true! :) Mary Beth went above and beyond for our engagement session. She kindly provided tons of location recommendations and outfit advice prior to the session. The actual session was such a positive experience - she was warm and welcoming and really made us feel comfortable. The images Mary Beth provided were stunning and I will treasure them forever.

EpagaFOTO has been with me through all of my most important moments in life. Allyson has captured our engagement, wedding, maternity, newborn, and family photos beautifully. Allyson always manages to find the best angles, despite our children’s not always perfect behavior ;) The quality is impeccable, and our love always shines through the prints. I trust epagaFOTO completely. I absolutely cherish the pictures of my life they have taken.

epaga FOTO has been a part of our family since day one! We had the pleasure of snagging Allyson for our wedding nearly five years ago. She captured the most beautiful photos of our day with our many family and friends. I find myself looking back and the photos frequently with such joy and do not regret hiring epaga for a single moment. Since our wedding, my sister-in-law got engaged and married. During her engagement, we begged Allyson to come back to shoot her wedding because that is how much we loved her and the beautiful photos she captured. Allyson's photography style is so natural. Her photos are not staged; she truly is an artist when it comes to capturing perfect moments. Additionally, the editing is minimal and natural which provides a timeless work of art that can be cherished for many years. I would highly recommend Allyson and the epaga FOTO team to anyone getting married, having babies or just wanting to have a fun photo shoot.

Wowzers!! Allyson and her assistant were so amazing and our photos turned out better than I could have ever imagined! So many special moments captured that I didn’t even get to see until I looked through the photos after our special day. We are so happy that we chose Allyson and epagaFOTO to help us capture and relive our wedding day!

My fiance and I recently took engagement photos with MaryBeth from epagaFOTO and could not be happier with the experience and the photos!! We appreciated how MaryBeth did plenty of prep work ahead of time such as scouting the locations and helping us pick out outfits so that during our engagement session we were just able to have fun. My fiance and I were really hoping to capture genuine, natural photos and MaryBeth did a phenomenal job doing just that!

Love. Love. LOVE!! Our experience with epagaFOTO was amazing. From our first consultation with Mary Beth I knew we would be in good hands. She is incredibly talented and fun to work with. She took the time to get to know us and our story and make sure that she had captured everything that was important to us on our wedding day. And the photos are so beautiful! We loved everything about our experience with Mary Beth and will definitely be going to her again for any excuse we can find to have professional photos taken in the future!

Without question, at the beginning of our wedding planning, we prioritized to find the best wedding photographer for our wedding. After meeting Mary Beth at epagaFOTO, it was clear that it was the easiest decision of our wedding planning. We could go on and on about how AMAZING Mary Beth is to us.
Going into our initial consultation with Mary Beth, we can still recall not knowing what to expect. Her patience, guidance, and genuine talent is exactly what we needed. From the start, we felt at ease with the process and Mary Beth’s communication allowed us to easily design a timeline that checked all the boxes. As we got to know Mary Beth, it began to feel as if one of our friends was capturing our wedding photos. We will always remember our Wedding day, but we will also remember Mary Beth’s attention to detail and genuine excitement for our wedding photos. We will definitely keep Mary Beth and epagaFOTO in mind for future celebrations. In the end, our day was absolutely special and absolutely perfect -- and we were lucky to have such a great photographer, like Mary Beth to capture these moments that we will cherish forever.

I can’t recommend epagaFOTO enough!! They are truly the best to work with from start to finish. I used Mary Beth Russell, and I have to say I can’t imagine having another photographer for both my engagement and wedding photos. Mary Beth’s attention to detail made for the most beautiful photos, and the personal attention she gives you is unparalleled. We shot engagement photos in the freezing cold in December and the wedding photos in the sweltering heat in August, and each time was a joy. If you are contemplating booking them, absolutely do it! You will not regret it.

When looking for wedding photographers, we knew exactly what we were looking. We started the process and met with a few. However, they didn’t seem to have quite what we were looking for. Once we emailed epagaFOTO, I could tell they were going to be “the one”. From the first email inquiring about their company, they were responsive, professional and down to earth. We set up a time to meet with our photographer MaryBeth and as soon as we met her, we knew. She got us! She was “the one” for us.
From the engagement pictures to the wedding day, epagaFOTO treated us less like “clients” and more like friends. On our wedding day, they were prompt, accommodating and helpful. During our portrait time (just my husband and I) I was getting anxious having our wedding party just staring at us. MaryBeth took notice of this immediately. Instead of being annoyed or irritated by my awkwardness, MaryBeth calmly and discreetly asked the second shooter (Amy—who was also amazing) to take the rest of the wedding party downstairs for “other photos”. After they all left, MaryBeth looked at me and said “Better?”. Her attention to what I was feeling and willingness to make it better for me is something I will never forget. That is the extra step that epagaFOTO takes to make sure your day is perfect.
Our weddings photos…OMG… they are absolutely perfect. They are crisp, artistic, candid, and capture our wedding day better than I could have ever imagined. I would HIGHLY recommend epagaFOTO as your wedding photographer. I know you will you love them as much as we did.

Mary Beth was incredible! She was so nice and easy to work with and her pictures were GORGEOUS! There was a point during the pictures on our wedding day where I was just getting so overwhelmed and I was hot and didn’t want to be outside anymore and Mary Beth noticed right away and changed our plan immediately so we could go inside. She was so wonderful and our pictures were truly perfect.

epagaFOTO is absolutely wonderful to work with! We had Jessica, the owner, and Amy in the second shooter role. We worked with Jessica first in a quickie engagement session (highly recommend) and got to know her, and knew she was the perfect fit for our wedding. She makes you feel so calm/natural, is great at staying on time, and beyond talented. Amy was also awesome the day of. I cannot wait to see our photos! Conor and I will definitely use epagaFOTO in the future.

Working with Allyson from EpagaFOTO was an incredible experience. From our initial consult to our final exit at the reception, Allyson's positive energy, poise, and presence were so strong! I appreciated the way Allyson anticipated our needs on the day of. For example, it was pouring down rain on our wedding day when we had outdoor pictures scheduled and Allyson already had a plan B suggestion ready for the moment and put me completely at ease. Allyson and Amy worked together to flawlessly capture our day - everything big and small. They captured the emotions, the movement, and the significance of the people involved in our day in such a special way. People don't often think about how your photographers will be a part of some of the most special moments of your life, which is why I appreciated how relational Allyson and Amy are. Their confidence and professionalism put everyone around them at ease, while their warm personalities make people loosen up and be themselves. I could not speak more highly of my experience with epagaFOTO. The pictures are GORGEOUS and their editing style is timeless. I am so glad we choose them to capture the most special day of our lives!

We worked with Hannah at EpagaFOTO for our engagement and wedding photos. She was absolutely wonderful! We are fairly low key and not especially excited to be in the spotlight, but Hannah made us feel comfortable and produced amazing photos. She was prompt with getting photos back for both the engagement and wedding, and she was so easy to communicate with throughout the whole process. I’d highly recommend Hannah or anyone at epagaFOTO. They’re seriously great.

Hannah and the team at epagaFOTO were phenomenal. Connor (my then fiance and now husband) and I were planning our wedding remotely. From the first time Hannah and I talked on the phone, I could tell we were going to be in good hands. Her warm professionalism stood out and I could tell she knew her stuff. Between looking at her portfolio and talking with her on the phone, I knew we'd made the right choice. She fielded my questions and concerns and was a pro through it all. One thing that stood out to me was the KINDNESS Hannah exhibited through the whole process. Planning remotely had its own challenges, and I didn't meet Hannah face-to-face until the day of our wedding, but I never once second-guessed our choice to hire her and the epagaFOTO studio. They were professional from beginning to finish. On the wedding day, Hannah and her team were at the venue early, ready to go, and they captured our wedding day perfectly. She was adaptable, fun and a professional. Their attention to detail captured beautiful moments--ones we'll cherish forever. After the wedding, we LOVED looking at our photos. They were delivered to us in a timely manner and helped us savor every moment from the day. The entire epagaFOTO studio was incredibly helpful and kind. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a warm, professional and incredible wedding photography team.

Hiring Jessica Roark and epagaFOTO for our August 2019 wedding was one of the best decisions we made! I interviewed several photographers, but ultimately selected Jessica due to her experience and body of work.
Our wedding photos are classic, crisp, bright, and timeless! Everyone who has seen our photos has been highly complimentary. Most of all, Jessica and her assistant, Hannah, made us feel confident and comfortable. Jessica gave the the perfect amount of direction but still kept things fun and natural! This was really important to my now-husband and me because we knew we would be spending all day with our photographer. Neither of us typically feel that natural in front of the camera, but you would never know it if you looked at our wedding photos!
Our photos have an excellent mix of posed photos, candid shots, venue shots, detail shots, and family pictures. Jessica worked carefully with us in the weeks leading up to the wedding to ensure we had a well thought out plan for the day. Easily online scheduling is available and epagaFOTO's communication is top-notch.
After the wedding, Jessica quickly provided us with a sneak peak and shortly thereafter gave us with a full set of 1,000 edited photos. We were BLOWN away! Selecting a high quality photographer was the best investment we made in our wedding and we couldn't be happier with Jessica, Hannah, and epagaFOTO!!
