About this vendor
Hi, I'm Jess! I'm stoked that you're here, and I can't wait to get to know you. I am based in Southern California, but I travel world-wide to capture weddings and elopements of all sorts! I prefer the raw, the natural, the unposed laughing and smirking that happens when you’re in your element. My fire is fueled when I get to be creative and play around. I like to have FUN and create something jaw-dropping and full of magic for you. I want every photo I take to be thought-provoking, dreamy, energizing and emotional. I love balancing colors with neutrals to show off the subject, and stun the viewer. I'm here for YOU every step of the way - supporting you in any way you need. I believe that wedding photographers should be hired both for their photos and the experience you have with them on your wedding day. Let's set up a call, and talk everything wedding! xoxo

I can’t even begin to express how incredible Jess is both as a photographer and a human being. My wife and I were so nervous going into our photoshoots and she made both of us feel...
comfortable in a way we didn’t think possible. Taking photos with Jess is a blast and it was so relaxing to be able to just sit back and trust that she has everything under control. I felt so completely confident in her understanding of our vision and she ultimately went above and beyond making everything perfect. The photos are to die for and we’re going to treasure these forever. Every time our friends come over and see them around the house we get compliments on “wow!! Who was your photographer??” I love telling everyone to hire Jess and if you’re reading this—HIRE JESS!!!! You won’t regret it for a moment. As my wife and I say all the time, hiring Jess was the best decision of our wedding (aside from marrying each other!!)
We are so lucky to have had Jess (and Kristin) photograph our wedding! We originally found Jess for our engagement pictures in 2023 and she was incredibly easy to work with. Not on...
ly did she make us feel incredibly comfortable during the shoot, but the pictures turned out to be absolutely stunning despite a very gloomy day in Malibu. We were ecstatic once we found out she was available for our wedding day, and we are absolutely over the moon with how our photos turned out! The way Jess is able to capture effortless photos for a couple who is not used to being in the camera all the time is just so special. Her & Kristin captured the energy of the day perfectly, we received so many candid photos of all of our family/friends interacting that are absolutely priceless. Jess’ work speaks for itself – the photos are so unique and absolutely gorgeous, plus she is a dream to work with! I can’t say enough good things about working with her, but I don’t think you’ll find a better photographer to capture your day!
We absolutely loved everything about Jessica's photography she did for our engagement pics and wedding. Absolutely stunning photos!!! Beyond that, Jessica is very personable and gr...
eat to work with. I (the groom) can be a tad bit awkward with photos and photoshoots but Jessica really made me feel comfortable as if she was one of our friends, not just a photographer. She had control of everything and really gave us solid direction on what to do. So awesome! Highly recommended!!! Photos came out so so good.
Jess is amazingly awesome and the full package deal. Not only are her photographs beautiful, but she is professional, personable, responsive, supportive, and hilarious! I was lucky...
enough to be referred to her by her friend Amanda who was booked on our day- the stars aligned and we were destined to cross paths.
She did our engagements (which we originally weren’t even thinking of doing) and wedding photos. Both were amazing and captured unforgettable moments in our lives.
Jess does a great job of making you feel comfortable in front of the camera without forcing it. She’s natural and creative with her photo and puts heart into her talents. We will be using her to capture all of our future life moments.
During the process of planning my wedding she would periodically check in and even spent an hour on the phone with me going over the timeline and photo shoot list. Jess was flexible and very easy to work with and reassured me everything would flow well and we would prioritize the must want photos/settings. She drove my husband and I around San Diego on our wedding day to make sure we captured all the hot spots we wanted (even if we were really kidnapping my husband to do so). You’ll be missing out if you don’t pick Jess.
Jess is the best. ever!! We had traveled out of the state to get married and I was so worried about finding a photographer in our budget who could work with what we had planned, an...

Jess is nothing but amazing! She made us feel so comfortable, we laughed during the entire session and she was the sweetest. When we got our photos back, they were everything we wa...
nted! It truly was our dream engagement shoot! As a photographer, she treats her clients like friends and family. We are excited for Jess to shoot our special day and we know we will want her to take future photos of us as well. I highly recommend Jess to capture any special moments!
Jessica was an absolute dream to work with!! Look no further!! She was so kind and bubbly and was all about making sure we were happy!! She asked us what we wanted out of our photo...
s and anything in particular we wanted to see in them, plus she had super fun and creative ways to bring out the smiles and silliness in us for our photos. She was genuinely invested in what WE wanted!! It was amazing!!! Not only was the shoot a ton of fun but once we got the photos back I wanted to cry they were so perfect!! Better than I could have ever imagined! We loved her so much, we are using her again for our maternity shoot and we could not be more excited!!! I just loved how easy she was to work with and how much she wanted to make her clients happy!! Thank you Jessica!!!! You are THE BEST!!!

hough we just met, she made us feel so at ease, like we were being silly & having fun with a friend we’ve known for years. We adore how authentically she captured our love & highly recommend her to anyone looking to have a wonderful photoshoot experience & create beautiful memories.
I found Jess through a referral from another photographer and she came all the way out to Joshua Tree from San Diego to do my maternity shoot! The most important thing about her is...
she has such a positive vibe, she captured so many natural laughing shots because we honestly were all having such a good time! She shared plenty of her own ideas while listening to ours as well. For any event, especially for weddings, you definitely want to be surrounded by amazing, supportive, fun and positive people and Jess is definitely all of the above ❤️
Jess is so amazing! We love her fresh, natural, creative photography. She makes taking photos effortless even for those of us who don’t love the camera! We can’t say enough abou...
