Honestly, 5 stars isn’t enough. I knew after one conversation with Jess, I found the perfect person for the job. Someone that was going to perfectly understand my husband and I, ca...
pture us beautifully, and make it feel like we had a long lost friend photographing our wedding. There is nothing Jess fell short of. Any hiccup, unplanned weather…you’d have thought everything went exactly to plan. Our pictures are flawless, our day was incredible, and I am forever grateful for Jess.
I love Jess as a person, and she is also an amazing professional. We felt super comfortable during our engagement shoot and wedding, Jess is extremely good at directing. And she wa...
s like a stealthy shadow during the ceremony?!? Jess is so good at what she does!!! Giving dark, moody, romantic energy in each photo.
Jess was very sweet and flexible when shooting our engagement shoot, and then incredibly patient and great on the day of the wedding. We and our families are still stunned at how w...
onderful the photos came out! So happy we chose Jess.
Jess photographed my husband and I’s wedding this past June, she did a phenomenal job! She was so kind throughout the process and was so flexible when plans had to change. My husba...
nd and I aren’t naturally comfortable in front of the camera and she really made us feel relaxed with a process that we don’t normally do. Beyond that, my husband and I were on a budget and she was willing to work with us to find a balance that worked for both of us.
Her photos are stunning! I told her I loved the “moody vibe” with lots of lights and shadows! I literally gasped when we opened our photos, they were exactly what we had hoped for and we are still getting compliments on the photos (and how nice Jess was to work with)!
All that to say, we highly recommend Jess and would love to work with her again one day!
I can't say enough great things about Jess! I reached out to her shortly before our impromptu elopement, and I was thrilled when she accepted. We booked her for two days and two se...
parate locations; she made the process stress-free, and I found her website to be easy to navigate.
As someone who has trouble posing for photos, Jess was able to direct me in ways that made me feel natural and beautiful. I was so overwhelmed with emotion during our vows- meanwhile Jess was moving so swiftly in the background that I didn't even notice her.
One of my favorite details about our experience with her was when she coordinated my arrival to the ceremony location. She lent my now-husband's younger brothers walkie-talkies, which I thought was exceptional. It was a cute way to make them feel included, and it was a professional touch that eased communication long distance. As someone who's always been the planner and supervisor of family endeavors, I can truly say that I was surprised at how little I had to do- My only job was to just show up!
It took about a week to receive the sneak-peeks, and roughly a month after our wedding did the remainder begin to trickle in. Personally, I didn't like the platform that was used to download the photographs. It was a bit easier to maneuver on a laptop, but the mobile version, which most of our friends and family used, wasn't very straightforward due to the download button being kind of hidden. It was especially challenging for the grandparents that weren't keen with technology.
Nevertheless, I have only compliments to say about Jess. She's a people-person with a wonderful personality, and a bad ass one-woman show! If you're seeking creative, timeless photos that you'll treasure forever, then look no further.
Jess took my maternity photos in March, and I could not have asked for a better photographer. She was communicative, proactive, and had fantastic suggestions for location and styli...
ng. I was looking for a specific woodsy vibe and Jess went out of her way to find the perfect remote location that accommodated my requests and were third trimester/toddler friendly. I am over the moon with my photos and will be coming back for my next set of couples or family photos!
From the second I saw Jess’s portfolio I knew she was the one and I was right! Despite my indecisiveness Jess was there every step of the way, offering locations we could and could...
not use, updating on the weather, notifying me that the location I chose no longer accepts weddings and helping me find another location! On the day of she was incredible making sure that everything was set just right for us and was totally down for anything we wanted. I couldn’t be more grateful for her and her husbands help on the big day and she was just as excited as I was! She’s kept me updated and involved in every little step and I can’t rave about her enough!
