I honestly don’t even know where to start because I could talk for hours about how incredible Jessica is. She is unbelievably talented, has the most amazing eye for detail, and is ...
one of the sweetest people you’ll ever meet.
I’ve been following Jessica’s work for years, hoping that one day, when I got married, she’d be my photographer. I literally planned my wedding date around her availability because I couldn’t imagine anyone else capturing our day. That’s how much I loved her work.
As someone who is extremely shy and awkward in front of the camera, I was so nervous going into the day. But Jessica made me feel completely at ease. She has such a calming, encouraging presence, and she somehow made taking pictures feel effortless and fun. Not only was she amazing with my husband and me, but she was also so kind, patient, and wonderful with our family and wedding party. Everyone commented on how much they loved her.
And on top of being incredibly talented, she is absolutely hilarious. Her little sayings and prompts to get us laughing and smiling made the entire experience feel so natural instead of awkward. I was skeptical how the pictures would turn out with all of the prompts but they turned out absolutely incredible. My personal favorite was when she asked to my husband to sniff my eyebrow. picture from that prompt was 10 out of 10 !! We found ourselves genuinely laughing the whole time, and I know that’s a huge part of why our photos feel so authentic. She has this amazing ability to make everyone around her feel comfortable and like they’ve known her forever.
Her ability to use light, color, and composition is truly unmatched. She doesn’t just take photos she creates magic.
When I received my full gallery, I genuinely sat there and cried for 5–10 minutes. She captured every emotion, every little detail, and so many moments I didn’t even realize were happening. Looking through our gallery allowed us to relive the best day of our lives all over again.
I was also blown away by how many photos we received. Unlike many photographers who deliver a much smaller gallery, Jessica gave us hundreds of stunning images—even though we only had her for three hours. Every single one was beautifully edited and thoughtfully captured.
And if that wasn’t enough, she sent us a sneak peek gallery in less than 24 hours after our wedding. I can’t even describe how much that meant to us. Being able to wake up the next morning and immediately relive our wedding day was such an incredible gift.
Jessica exceeded every expectation I had, and somehow still managed to amaze me. I can say with complete confidence that this won’t be the last time she photographs us. She’ll be there for every major milestone we have—anniversaries, maternity photos, family photos, and everything in between—because I’m officially obsessed with both her work and the experience she creates. Hiring her was, without question, one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. If you’re considering booking her, don’t hesitate for a second. She is worth every single penny, and I promise you’ll treasure her photos for the rest of your life.
The best decision we made for our wedding was hiring Jess. From the very beginning, I had admired her work and knew without a doubt she had to be the one to capture our special day...
. It was a non-negotiable, and looking back, I couldn’t be more grateful.
On our wedding day, Jess went above and beyond. She didn’t just document moments—she preserved the feeling of the entire day. Every detail, every laugh, every happy tear was beautifully captured in a way that lets us relive it all over again.
Jess has an incredible gift for making people feel comfortable in front of the camera. What could have been awkward or stiff felt natural, relaxed, and even fun. She brought out the very best of us and made the whole process enjoyable.
Now we have the most stunning collection of photos that tell the story of our day perfectly. These are memories we’ll treasure forever, and it’s all thanks to Jess’s talent, care, and artistry. Truly, there is no one better in the business.
Jessica is literally the best photographer you can hire! She did our engagement shoots, boudoir, and wedding, and soon she will be doing my maternity shoots. It speaks for itself t...
hat I keep going back to her how good she really is. I recommend her to everyone. Not only that her prices are unbelievably reasonable for the quantity and quality of work you receive.
My husband is does not like taking photos (what man does) but Jessica managed to bring out the best in him, the side I always see. She was able to make the photos fun, approachable, and classy. I am not big on posed photography and love candid moments and Jessica was able to give me a great balance of both.
Photographs are things that we all cherish and keep for future generations, and Jessica makes it so these photographs will tell our story for those generations. I am so extremely happy to have worked with her. If you are looking for a kind, reliable, fun photographer that takes her time to capture the moments you want, then Jessica is your gal! Thank you Jessica!
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Jessica Jackson of Jesscaste Photography for our wedding, and we could not be happier with the experience. My husband and I are not nat...
urally comfortable in front of a camera, but Jessica has a gift for making you feel at ease. She struck the perfect balance between professionalism and a relaxed vibe, helping keep the focus of our day light and stress-free—even when our venue coordinator did not.
We received over 100 sneak peek photos the day after our wedding! We were absolutely blown away and never expected to receive so many so quickly. It was such a joy to relive our special day so soon.
We also highly recommend booking Jesscaste Photography alongside Micah Rebecca Films for your wedding video. They worked seamlessly together, making the process incredibly smooth by allowing us to have coordinating meetings for both photo and video at the same time. Their teamwork and communication were impeccable, and the results truly speak for themselves.
If you’re considering Jesscaste Photography, don’t hesitate—Jessica will capture your day beautifully while ensuring the entire experience is stress-free. Highly recommend!
Just WOW! Jess is such a talented photographer, she really knows how to capture all the important moments for the event. We used her for both our engagement and wedding photos and ...
love going back through the albums to relive the day. She knows how to make you feel comfortable when doing the posed photos and her fun yet calming energy is exactly what is needed for your big day. Would definitely recommend you run and book her for your photography needs.
Jess is such a fantastic photographer and my husband and I are so beyond glad that we used her for our wedding. We love both our engagement and wedding photos so much. Neither my h...
usband or I are particularly "comfortable" in front of a camera but Jess made the process so easy, approachable, and fun. We really felt like she captured our personalities and all the special moments of our wedding. She also took on our post ceremony family shot list for my very large family like a champ! On top of all this, she was such a pleasure to communicate with and was so easy to work with through our entire wedding. We would hire Jess again in a heartbeat and would recommend her to anyone and everyone. Thank you so much again Jess! <3
Jess is absolutely the best photographer ever and my husband and I are truly grateful for our breathtaking and amazing engagement and wedding photos! Jess captured the most meaning...
ful and beautiful moments in our wedding! Our wedding photos are PHENOMENAL! Thank you for telling our love story through creative and stunning photos! We loved working with Jess because she represents PERFECTION! Thank you for helping us have our dream wedding! I will recommend JessCate Photography to everyone that I know that needs the best photographer! Jess is EXTRAORDINARY!
Jess did my boudoir photos prior to my wedding and did an incredible job!
She guided me on where to get my outfits, did a great job of communicating what to expect, and made me f...
eel so comfortable the entire time. I love the studio she uses and the room options are all so fun. There is a stereo so you can play whatever music hypes you up and she let me bring a friend to be my cheerleader.
Jess is a pro at her job and helped guide me into a lot of different poses that felt natural and turned out great! She made what could be an awkward photo shoot so fun and easy. I felt very comfortable with her the entire time. She has a fast turnaround time for photos which was wonderful and I was so impressed with all the great shots she got. It was such a great experience and I recommend everyone do a boudoir shoot at some point, even if its just for yourself as another way to fall in love with your own body.
I cannot recommend Jess enough for any of your photography needs, she really does it all!
Hands down one of the best decisions we made throughout the wedding planning process was choosing Jess as our photographer! We instantly connected with Jess during our first phone ...
call with her. Her website and pricing guide were super informative and I am so glad that our wedding package included an engagement session with her. This allowed us to meet Jess in person and get to know her style before the big day. We also brought our corgi to our engagement shoot and Jess was so patient and kind with our stubborn pup. She helped us build out our wedding day timeline and explained to us how each photo time slot would work. Not to mention, Jess was 36 weeks pregnant on our wedding day! She told us beforehand that without a doubt, she would make it to our wedding and sure enough, she was there. She rallied and she was such a CHAMP! She even dealt with a few “difficult” family members on our wedding day and she handled it with such grace. She was super efficient at getting all of our photos in and she constantly checked in with us to see how we were doing and if we needed anything. We got our wedding day preview gallery back within 24 hours, which was such a nice surprise. If you are considering Jess for your big day, DO IT!! From one bride to another, I promise you will be so happy and relieved when you start working with her. Her assistant shooter, Cindi, was also super amazing. You will be in good hands with Jess or anyone on her team!
PS - I have already received so many compliments from people on how amazing my wedding photos turned out, and those are just from the preview gallery. I cannot even wait to see the full gallery when it’s available! I’m already so obsessed! Jess will definitely be our go-to photographer for any of our family photoshoot needs in the future. Thank you, Jess!!!!
Jess is incredible. My husband and I loved working with her and felt totally comfortable during our whole process. Seriously she was an angel. It was 105 degrees on our wedding ...
day and I had about 3 mental breakdowns over the heat alone 😂 she killed it and was extremely comforting, professional and talented. Our pictures turned out amazing. 10/10 recommend jess we will use her in the future.
Jess was AMAZING! She really is a professional third wheel. She was hired for my proposal which was a complete surprise. And when I tell you she did everything to keep it a surpris...
e, she did EVERYTHING! She ran through lavender fields, and trees, and withstood the 100 degree heat we were experiencing that day, all so I had no clue it was happening. She communicated with not only my fiance, but also my family, and anyone she needed to in order to pull this off with them. Her photos of us are amazing and she was wonderful to work with. She is sweet, kind, and down to earth. I never had professional photos done prior and she made me look amazing and feel at ease. The photos at sunset in the lavender fields she took of us are STUNNING! Her talent is truly amazing. She is worth every penny. I instantly walked away hoping I can book her for our wedding, shes that good!
Jess was a PHENOMENAL photographer and an all-around amazing person to work with!! We worked with her for our engagement photos and cannot express enough how much we loved our sess...
ion and the photos. As someone who has never done any kind of photoshoot before, she was so knowledgeable with how to help us pose for the perfect shot and made us feel super comfortable while doing so. She also was just so easy to talk to and fun to be with which made our pictures look so natural and fun! She went above and beyond during our shoot to make us feel like her only priority, not to mention we got our pictures back SUPER fast because she knew we had an engagement party coming up which was just so considerate. Would recommend her to ANYONE! Thanks so much Jess!
As our one-year wedding anniversary approaches, my partner and I find ourselves looking back on the incredible memories of our special day. We owe a heartfelt thank you to our ama...
zing wedding photographer, whose talent and dedication made our wedding album a treasure of cherished moments. While this review is longggggg overdue, it is not too late to express our gratitude!
From the very first meeting at our engagement shoot, Jessica demonstrated her ability to turn the most awkward moments into comfort and ease. Her warm personality and humor made our time behind the camera fly by. We knew right away that we were in great hands and that she would capture our wedding day beautifully.
On the day of our wedding, Jessica was extremely professional and remained calm, but her fun/humorous personality still shined throughout the day. With her organized approach, she effortlessly planned shots and ensured that every important moment was captured. What truly sets her apart is her undeniable talent and work ethic. We were so excited when she provided us with a sneak peek of the images just overnight. These stunning glimpses into our special day exceeded our expectations and we were so excited when the rest came in!
Now, as we look back at all the photographs and memories, we cannot thank her enough for capturing our wedding day so beautifully.
To any couple in search of a wedding photographer, we wholeheartedly recommend booking Jessica's services. She has a great talent for making the most awkward moments feel comfortable and natural, and brings a perfect blend of sweetness, humor, and organization to the table.
Thank you so much Jess!!
Love, Michelle & Patrick!!
We came across Jesscaste Photography on Instagram and we are so glad we chose her as our wedding photographer. Jessica was so professional and easy to work with. She was great at c...
ommunicating with us before the wedding to make sure that our wedding timeline went smoothly as we had so much planned. During our wedding, she was able to capture everything that we wanted and even sent us same day previews so it was amazing to wake up to photos from our wedding the next morning to recapture our day and post on social media. Jessica even created a reel of our wedding which we loved. Once we received our wedding gallery we were also so in love with our photos. Jessica’s photos were so amazing that we had a hard time selecting our favorite photos to frame in our home. I can’t wait to do future photo shoots with Jessica. This is your sign to go ahead and Book Jesscaste Photography for your wedding!!!!You will not regret it!
Your search for a wedding photographer is over!
Book Jess ASAP!
My husband and I recently had the pleasure of having Jess as our wedding photographer and I couldn't be happier wi...
th the results.
CONSULTATION
From the first consultation, Jess was professional, friendly, and truly understood my vision for our special day. She spent extra time making sure she was good for what we were looking for and really got to know me and my husband. I could tell that she truly cares for what she does and as someone who overthinks she definitely put my mind to ease.
ENGAGEMENT SHOOT
Our engagement shoot was so fun, I'm slightly introverted and shy but Jess made the experience such a blast! My husband and I had such a good time, and Jess made us feel comfortable.
WEDDING
I can't thank her enough for everything she did for us during the wedding. She had our photos and schedule down to the second, for a minute I thought she was the wedding coordinator lol. When issues came up or we ran short of time for certain planned photos, Jess knew how to pivot and make the most out of every second. She had backup plans for everything and helped facilitate with the coordinator to get family photos well still capturing the reception!
The pictures turned out stunning, capturing all the special moments and details that made our wedding so unique. Jess was a true joy to work with and I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a talented and reliable photographer.
Thank you Jess for making such beautiful memories for us to cherish forever.
WOW!! Where to even begin!! Jess is the absolute BEST wedding photographer on the planet. I had found her instagram about 3 years before I was even engaged and told my then boyfrie...
nd (now husband) I already knew who I wanted as our wedding photographer!! The pictures I saw were just so pure, perfect, genuine and NOT over filtered like pictures started becoming. Jess is so knowledgeable about everything wedding related. As soon as I got engaged I reached out to Jess immediately to see if she was available for the month we were thinking and from then she was and became our wedding photographer!! Jess was the first wedding vendor I talked to on the phone and I am so happy that is how it worked out. She put my mind at ease and walked me through all the questions I had and I got off the phone and felt so beyond blessed to have her. Jess also did an engagement shoot with us about 9 months before the wedding and it was the best thing because we got to meet her, get comfortable being in front of the camera and just had the best 2 hours with her. There was constant laughs and conversation, we were so comfortable with her right away that we were even more excited for the wedding day to come. As the wedding got closer Jess and I had a phone call to go over the timeline, what shots were priority and getting a photo list together. Everything Jess does from the first phone call to the wedding day is focused on the couple and doing whatever it takes to make our day go perfect. When Jess showed up the morning of our wedding I just remember her looking at me and saying "I am here for you today so whatever you need just let me know, this day is going to be amazing." From the second she got there and started setting up the detail shots to dancing with me and my husband on the dance floor at the end of the night just shows that she is the absolute best, you can tell she loves her job and her clients so much!!!! Jess also kills the game because she sends same night previews so being able to see some of the photos from your best day ever the next day just allows that fairytale to continue in the best way. We got our full wedding album back right on time and my husband and I spent hours recounting the best day by looking at all 1700+ photos we got back. We love constantly looking at them and reminiscing on our best day ever. If you are considering Jess to be your wedding photographer, stop making it a consideration and reach out to her RIGHT NOW and make her the person to capture your amazing day. Jess is truly the best in the business and we cannot wait to use her for ALL of our photos needs moving forward. We absolutely loved working with her and we are so blessed. WE LOVE YOU JESS!! Thank you <3
We first found Jessica’s work through Instagram and were instantly amazed. As a bride, I was very stressed trying to find the “right” photographer since pictures were one of things...
we wanted to make sure were perfect. I reached out to Jessica and she was very responsive and after our first call I was so relieved. As a couple, we aren’t very photogenic and we were nervous to take engagement photos. However, by the end of our engagement shoot, we felt so comfortable and less awkward. She was extremely helpful with our timeline and answering any last minute questions. Day of the wedding, I can’t express how helpful she was. She moved things along so smoothly and took so many photos that I didn’t even think we would have time for. She an amazing photographer and I get emotional looking back at all the moments she captured. We highly recommend booking Jessica, she’s the best!!
Jess was beyond amazing!! I’ve worked with many photographers in the past, but none compare to my experience with Jess!!! Not only is she super kind, helpful and fun to be around, ...
but she really went above and beyond to help us make our big day possible. Love her constant communication, timeliness, and professionalism! It’s clear SHE KNOWS WHAT SHES DOING and that was apparent to me, our entire bridal party, and our guests. And let me tell ya, SHE DELIVERED!!! Our pictures are amazing!!! They were authentic and aesthetic, fun and lively! She knows how to capture the moment so well, and shes intentional to get to know her couples so that she can best serve them.
Beyond her work being amazing, throughout the process we were just so thankful that Jess was there every step of the way. Tips, vendor recommendations, timeline, etc. Ask her anything and she knows it all. On the day of the wedding she couldn’t be any better. We felt present and calm because we knew we were in good hands, and because she reminded us to be present! We’re so thankful!
We can’t recommend her enough!!! HANDS DOWN THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHER EVER!!
Jessica photographed our wedding on 08/20/22. She was amazing!! She really captured what felt like every single moment of our wedding!! When my husband and I received all the photo...
s back we couldn’t pick just a few to send out to people so we went ahead and created a whole Facebook album and shared them all!! You definitely need a photographer who knows how to work weddings, can speak up, and is very organized.. because let’s be real the day is hectic!! She portrayed all these and kept our bridal party in check making sure we got all the right photos before everyone ventured off to have a fun night!! My husband and I rave about how much we really appreciated her and her work!! She’s amazing.
Jessica absolutely did amazing with our wedding photos! They turned out sooo good, and she gave them back to us fast. It only took about a month to get the full gallery!!! She know...
s exactly how you make you feel comfortable, and is quick with poses. I had no idea what to do, but she coached us through it. I can’t tell you enough how well they turned out. I have spent everyday looking at them, and our wedding was 5 months ago. I will definitely be using her for future events!
While engaged, I met Jessica while attending another wedding she was shooting and thought she was so genuine and easy to connect with. Fast forward, I saw my friend's pictures and...
was just stunned. I loved that her photos showed genuine emotions that weren't forced. When I found out she was available on our wedding date, I knew we had to book her for our wedding and I am so glad we did! Jessica did a fantastic job explaining everything I would need to know ahead of time and accommodating what was important to us. As for the pictures... so fun and GORGEOUS! We woke up to a TON of previews the morning after the wedding and got the rest delivered 1 month later. My biggest problem is loving too many of them and being unable to decide which to frame! Thank you, Jessica!
Jessica was absolutely amazing! She is very straight forward and is a very trusting person! When planning our wedding, there was a lot of things we did not know/had questions about...
and she explained everything to us and gave us so much great advice! Specifically, during the reception, she not only reminded us to have our marriage licensed signed, but actually went to the room and grabbed it for us and had the correct people sign it! She is above and beyond everything that I thought a perfect photographer would be! We plan to use her services for every stage of life that we want photographed! Could not recommend her enough!
Jessica was referred to us through our venue. We were the first couple to get married at this event space and Jessica did a fantastic job at capturing every moment in a brand new s...
pace! In addition, she took beautiful pictures for our engagement shoot and recommended several great locations based on our preferences. She was professional, kind, and very easy to communicate with. She delivered all of our pictures one month after the wedding, after already giving us about 40 sneak previews the night of our wedding! Jessica is knowledgeable and works extremely hard at delivering beautiful photos in a timely manner. We would highly recommend Jessica!
This is a follow-up to our 12/8/2020 elopement review. Oops, she did it again! This time for our Hawaii destination vow renewal and Jessica did not disappoint again! My husband and...
I are so happy with our photos! Our celebration was captured perfectly! She is very organized, punctual, sweet, and problem solver. Her ninja-like abilities and eye for capturing photos are incredible! She worked her butt off and my husband and I appreciated her hard work and dedication to capturing our amazing photos of our day and how fast we got out previews! Many guests also complimented how user-friendly her website is! They all liked the timeline tabs and the web feature where it easily uploaded picture to your computer/Dropbox/Google Drive. If you are reading this review and are searching for a photographer, Jessica is your girl! Anyone who who asks me if I know a great photographer will definitely be getting a Jessica recommendation! Thank you again and can’t wait to use you for future photography needs!
Jessica is amazing. I have known her for 10+ years— she did my high school graduation photos, college graduation photos, and now my wedding photos. Take a look through her instagr...
am or website…you will see beautiful, vibrant, joyful images. She can tell you where to stand, how to turn, what to do with your hands. But beyond that, she is able to truly capture you and your love and raw emotion. She takes the effort to get to know you and your personal style and makes sure that your photos are a reflection of your unique story.She goes above and beyond to help her clients— when my makeup artist has to cancel on me last minute, Jess stepped in and called other artists she knew and was able to get me a new one. Not to mention her same-day previews which are carefully chosen and edited quickly enough to be posted or sent off the same night of your event. If you want to look beautiful and feel valued, Jess is your gal.
We didn’t find Jessica until after our wedding, but she has done two family photoshoots for us and we couldn’t love her more! Both sets of photos turned out beautifully and she wen...
t above and beyond. Jessica is so sweet and she does a great job to make you feel comfortable as she is shooting! We also received our photos so quickly after each shoot and had our expectations exceeded by the amount of edited photos we received. Hire her and you will not be disappointed!
Jessica was our wedding photographer in Temecula in October 2021. She took amazing photos during our engagement shoot in Irvine and even more amazing photos during our wedding. She...
kept everything running smoothly even with a guest count of 300. She delivered our photos 4 weeks after the wedding which was insane because her Fall wedding schedule was so hectic. She delivered a wedding album we will cherish forever. We loved having Jess as our photographer and can't recommend her enough!
We came across Jessica through our venues Instagram and I am so glad we chose Jessica to capture our wedding. Upon first impression you can tell she truly cares about what you wan...
t the best way to achieve that. She was such a big help from outfit decisions during engagement photos, to basically managing the wedding day schedule. She will help create a timeline and do her best to keep herself and everyone in line with that timeline. She’s not afraid to use her voice when it comes to getting people in line for photos, and she does an amazing job at capturing special moments. Jessica is fantastic at getting you out of your comfort zone and making those awkward poses a little less award in order to capture the perfect shot. Her love and compassion for what she does shines through to her final products. She will most definitely be our first choice for any photography needs.
There is a reason that Jess has all 5 star reviews - she is truly the best! Not only is her photography incredible but she is so professional, a great team player with other vendor...
s, and she is a great communicator. She can make anyone look good on camera with her fun and disarming cues that almost make you forget you are at a photoshoot. Jess did my engagement, boudoir, and wedding photos and every single time I was completely blown away. If you even have an inkling that you want Jess to do your photography, BOOK HER NOW!

Where do I even begin? Jess is freaking fantastic! For starters she is friendly, outgoing, fun, and has a warm personality that just makes you feel comfortable around her immediate...
ly! It's evident that Jess is an extremely hard worker and is passionate about what she does. My husband and I had a unique experience with Jess due to Covid. We officially got married in 2020, but had a small ceremony since that was all that was allowed at the time. Jess was extremely flexible with us even came down to shoot our elopement when she didn't have to. We were not expecting it, but she still chose to shoot our ceremony. It was a sweet surprise and we were very grateful. My husband and I had to change our wedding date 4 times due to Covid unfortunately, but Jess still managed to work with us and was very understanding. I know a lot of photographers were struggling as we went through this crazy time, but Jess remained on top dominating. She is just amazing and has a heart of gold. Not to mention she introduced to Rich Farm Ice Cream which is absolutely delicious and we are forever grateful for!
She was on it for "both" of our weddings.
Her pictures are absolutely stunning and capture every moment perfectly. My husband and I can be awkward at times and do not know how to pose for the camera, but Jess knows how to make people look flawless and she did just that for my husband and I. She makes taking pictures so fun and enjoyable. We loved how she gave us same night previews for our wedding day which I don't know how she does it because I would be a zombie from shooting a wedding after a long day! She also handled our family photos like a champ. I say that because my husband and I are Hispanic so there are many of us and it takes time to get everyone in a picture, but Jess got everyone in check and got those photos done quickly. We even were behind schedule and she knocked it out! The turn around time for the full gallery was quick as well which was an added bonus. Even more of a bonus, this girl is a tough cookie. She had allergies towards the end of the night due to the pollen at our wedding venue, we felt really bad, but she toughed it out and kept shooting like the incredible photographer she is. She even danced with me while dealing with those allergies. I don't know how many people can say that about their photographer. Dakota was also an amazing side kick photographer and captured some really dope pictures. Dakota was sweet and really fun as well. Thank you ladies for making this experience so amazing and fun. The wedding would not have been complete without you both! Jess, thank you for being so flexible, understanding, and for being you. You are incredible! Hire her! We promise you won't regret it one bit!
Jess did such an amazing job on both our engagement & wedding photos. The pictures came out beautifully & we will cherish these forever! Jess went above and beyond her duties as a ...
photographer. She made us feel comfortable which helped with the end result! I would highly recommend her. Jess was well organized and accountable!
Jess was amazing! I was really picky about getting a photographer who could work with different types of lighting and edit well since it was an indoor/ outdoor event, but Jess was ...
much more! She gave us almost 1500 beautiful photos for 7 hours, she dealt with crazy family dynamics and took pictures of exactly what we asked, had weird poses that came out great, managed to shoot a ton of religious traditions that she probably want used to and stayed later when we asked her to. She was so adaptable and quick. We had a ton of people already ask for her and said she was amazing. We thought in the moment some poses seemed silly but she clearly knows what she's doing because they all came out great! The editing and photos were gorgeous! And we got a preview album that night!! Everyone asked us to share them on thier own accounts. My only tip is tell her if there is any specific shots you want because she has a whole agenda and poses so if there is something specific you want, tell her! I would definitely recommend Jess. She is professional and so talented!!
Both my, now husband, and I knew we wanted Jess to be our photographer way before we even got engaged. We’ve seen her grow as a photographer over the years and couldn’t imagine, or...
trust, anyone else with our photos. We literally flew her up to Washington to do our wedding. Not only is she a talented photographer, but I swear our day would not have turned out as smoothly without her. She helped with our timeline, made sure each event was on time and helped out where she could. She made us (who hate being in front of the camera) feel comfortable through each picture she took. She understood what was important to us and perfectly captured that with every photo she took. She is an amazing human who has honed her craft to perfection. I would recommend Jess to anyone who is looking for a wedding photographer (or other important life events). She. Is. Worth. It. Jess, I can’t thank you enough for everything you did. We loved our photos dearly and will for the rest of our lives. We love you!! ❤️
If you are looking for a photographer for your wedding, hire Jessica Photography!! When we were looking for a photographer we noticed that the pictures looked the same. Not with Je...
ssica, she finds the most creative ways to capture natural reactions in pictures. Jessica is organized, is prompt and handles the stress of the day in a professional way. We purchased the wedding package that included the engagement session. We loved our engagement photos so much that we decided to use the photos for our wedding invitations. I also want to share that we needed to postpone our wedding that was originally planned for 4/30/21. When I contacted Jessica, she was so supportive and gave me a list of dates of when she was available. We chose our new date based on when Jessica was available. It was so important for us to have Jessica there as our photographer because we knew she would create great memories of our special day. We LOVE our pictures!! Jessica will always be our go to for photos and capturing our special memories. If you want fantastic, memorable photos then hire Jessica. You will not be disappointed. She is the BEST!!
Jess is the absolute BEST! If you are looking for a photographer you have found THE ONE. She is beyond talented, so kind, and the perfect addition to the biggest day of your life. ...
She comes prepared, gives you hilarious prompts for how to pose, is the ultimate hype woman, and goes above and beyond. Her photos are so well composed and she had an eye for capturing the moments you’ll want to remember forever. I will 1000% recommend her to every one of my friends and family members getting married in SoCal! I feel so lucky to have worked with Jess and I know you will too :)
Jess is absolutely incredible! She has the most creative little tricks to make her photos look so natural and candid......and amazingly beautiful! Her expertise in finding the most...
flattering angles and creative use of light is spectacular. And aside from all of that, she brings out the very best in people. Rather than the typical awkwardly stiff and staged pics we’ve all seen and been in...hers exude joy, love, fun and so much action! And the secret is that behind the scenes, it actually IS fun. She has a great, personable demeanor to compliment her skills as a photographer. Another bonus is that is SO important on a wedding day is that she’s very well organized and sure to capture every shot, family member, or moment that is requested. There’s nothing worse than realizing after the fact that Grandma had excused herself to the restroom and was missing from the family photos! Thanks Jess!!!
After seeing some gorgeous photos some close friends took with Jess for their maternity (and then later some holiday) photos, I started following her instagram page. The instant s...
he posted about mini sessions, I slid in her DM's to grab a session for my family (side note: highly recommend 20 minute mini sessions with young children).
Jess is amazing! She is so friendly, professional, and incredibly skilled. After seeing my friends' beautiful photos, I was hopeful that ours would turn out well and she exceeded our expectations.
My husband and I got married years ago in a different state, so we weren't fortunate enough to find Jess until years later, but if you're lucky enough to find her for your engagement and wedding sessions, BOOK her and hang onto her because you'll want to have her around for more big moments to come in your marriage and life. I'm so glad we found Jess and I can't wait to work with her more in the future.
Hiring Jess for our engagement and wedding photos was one of the easiest and best decisions we made! She’s so easy to work with and made the entire process a blast! On top of that,...
she’s an incredibly talented photographer and very professional.
We’ve gotten so many compliments on our photos and even got my sister to use Jess for some family photos, which are also gorgeous!
The package we went with included a second shooter, who was great day-of and also wonderful to work with. No doubt we will keep going back to Jess whenever we can with photo needs.
Thank you again for being amazing and going above and beyond, always!
Jess is absolutely incredible. We had booked her a while back for our wedding, but had to postpone twice. All I can say is that, in that amount of time, she has only become even be...
tter at her craft. After working with us almost three years ago to create the engagement session of our dreams, she then helped to make our wedding day photos spectacular. Every step of the way she was thoughtful, knowledgeable, and patient. She was consistently willing to answer any questions we had, was quick to respond, and was flexible when we were forced to postpone our event. On the day we were finally able to have our wedding, she helped to keep me grounded and worked behind the scenes to keep things moving along. Not only is she talented, but Jess is also extremely personable and kind. Our wedding photos turned out amazing and it was a pleasure to have her on our special day. Thank you Jess!
It’s a honor to rant and rave about how awesome Jess as a photographer for so many reasons. From our engagement shoot until post wedding photos delivery Jess was an absolute profes...
sional. What I appreciated about her the most was her ability to be true to herself while also finding out personalities and bringing that alive in our pictures. She’s creative in her work and how she works with her clients. She’s very helpful with details in regards to planning out potential ideas for your pictures. She’s an absolute joy to be around and to simply work with. Having her be apart of our day brought joy and peace because she was so encouraging. She doesn’t just take pictures she creates an experience with you and that I will always remember. I can’t recommend her enough. Her quality of work, her professionalism, and amazing personality made for a memorable experience and some AMAZING PICTURES!
5 stars doesn't say enough! Jess is simply the best. She always goes above and beyond to make sure you get the most stunning photos of the highest quality. Jess is a must have phot...
ographer for engagements, weddings, couple shots, anything really. Thanks Jess for capturing our wedding day and helping preserve life long memories!
If you are looking for a photographer, I promise you- Jessica is your girl! I cannot recommend her enough to anyone looking for top notch/beautiful wedding photos! She is one of my...
childhood bestfriends & I knew when I got engaged that I wanted her to shoot our wedding because I love her style! We were so lucky to not only have Jessica for one wedding but 2 weddings due to covid postponements! Our elopement in Lake Tahoe & our wedding in Temecula were so perfect because of her. If you are looking for an amazing photographer who is professional/fun/personable- Jessica is the absolute best photographer! Booking her will be the best wedding decision you make!
I don’t even have the words to describe how much I love Jess. We booked her for our wedding a few years ago after finding her on Instagram through mutual followers. My husband and ...
I loved her style and knew we had to hire her! Jess was fun and professional, all while making us feel completely comfortable. She gave us prompts that felt natural and not over-posed, made taking photos fun (especially for my husband who hates pictures!) and she listened to any requests we had. She even sang Hamilton with us while getting ready!
Our wedding photos are something I’m still obsessed with and will cherish for the rest of my life, and Jess has become a friend that I’m so thankful to have met. Thank you so much Jess, you’re the BEST!!!
Jess is literally the BEST. I got married several years ago and am 100% thrilled with my choice! So many features of the wedding are a one-time thing--the flowers, the food, even t...
he dress-- but the pictures are something I still am able to enjoy almost 4 years later.
All three of my bridesmaids who got married after me went with Jess as the photographer for their weddings, too, because of how great she is! Not only are the pictures magical, but she has an incredible way of interacting with the bridal party, other wedding vendors, the family, and guests. By the end of the wedding I'm pretty sure every bride wants to make her their new bff!
Would HIGHLY recommend :)
This review is long overdue! Believe me when I say that Jess goes ABOVE and BEYOND for her clients.
I first found Jess on Instagram in 2017 and was immediately struck by the amazi...
ng photos she posted on her page. I wasn’t even engaged yet, but I had already made up my mind that Jess would be capturing my wedding day. Not even kidding - I had a dream I was getting married and Jess was my photographer, so that was a testament to how badly I wanted to hire her. Fast forward two years later, my now-husband blindfolded me and led me to this beautiful spot to propose and when he removed the blindfold, I saw Jess taking photos of us. Needless to say, I was freaking out on the inside. Jess was so kind and genuine, and sent us tons of preview photos for us to post the next day.
Then came the wedding planning and obviously we had to hire Jess. However, our original venue closed down and we had to postpone our wedding due to Covid, so everything was so stressful for a period of time. But Jess was incredibly understanding and flexible, and was willing to move our date. She was great with communication and always answered our questions and addressed our concerns.
We ended up having a small intimate wedding with just our closest friends on 3/21. Jess arrived earlier than was expected and left later than she had to. She came prepared and ready to go. She had extra ring boxes and vintage trays for detail shots, she made sure my hair looked nice and neat, and always fixed my dress. She hyped us up, she was patient, and she gave clear directions since she knew exactly what kind of shots to take.
Jess gave us 100+ PREVIEW photos that same night and sent us our whole wedding album within two weeks. The photos are completely out of this world! We have had so many friends tell us how beautiful our wedding photos are and ask for Jess’ Instagram because she did such a stunning job. Jess is fun, efficient, hard working, and she is a joy to work with. She truly cares about her clients and will capture your day perfectly. I can’t wait to have her take our photos again next year! Seriously, HIRE HER. You won’t regret it!
If I could give 10 stars I would. Jess is absolutely amazing. Her talent as a photographer is astounding. She is so dedicated to her clients, and makes the experience so personal y...
ou can't help but feel as though you've known her forever. Not only do you get your photos when promised, she even gave us same day previews for our engagement photos which were breathtaking. She makes you feel so comfortable during the shoots, whether it's cracking jokes or giving you funny poses to try, she is always making you smile! One thing is for sure, you will not regret hiring Jess!
I am so glad I struck up a conversation with her mother-in-law who recommended to check out Jessica’s Instagram. I never would have found her otherwise! Things happen for a reason ...
and I am so happy with how everything turned out! She is a 10 out of 10 as a photographer! Jessica captured our small COVID elopement ceremony perfectly, which made us grateful that we decided against not having a photographer. She was worth every penny! We started our four-hour session with family photos at a park and she was on time to the location. The family group photos were taken very quickly and effectively. The photos taken during the ceremony and reception were done so discreetly, she was like a ninja! Her ninja-like abilities and eye for capturing photos are phenomenal. She really is a talented photographer. I also appreciated her recommendation to have a personal moment with just my husband away from guests at various times. Many guests also complimented how user-friendly her website is! They all liked the timeline tabs and the web feature where it easily uploaded picture to your computer/Dropbox/GoogleDrive. For any Facebook users, the website had an easy upload button too! We also appreciated the ability to re-edit any photos if needed, but fortunately it was not necessary. We ended the elopement session at 8pm and she already had AMAZING previews for us by 11pm! 15 days later, we had all our photos! We are so excited to work with her again in January 2022 for our destination “vow renewals”. We are more than sure that she will document that event perfectly. Also, my husband appreciated her similar love for Zelda and her reaction to the Zelda cufflinks I gave him. We will make sure to have a cufflink shirt this time for our photo-op hahaha. If you are reading this review in search for a photographer, Jessica’s work will not disappoint! Anyone who who asks me if I know a great photographer will definitely be getting a Jessica recommendation! Thank you!
Jess is the best photographer ever! We used Jess for our engagement photos and love the way she gives direction and makes it feel like you have known her forever. She is great with...
customer service and most importantly, the images she captures are beyond beautiful and captures your relationship within her work and bring happiness everytime you look back at your pictures. Thank you Jess!
