We are so glad that we selected Jesse as our wedding photographer for our June 2025 wedding. When I was looking at photographers online, there were a few photographers I kept re-visiting on various platforms (The Knot, Instagram, Facebook, etc.) and Jesse’s work kept catching my eye.
We originally had another photographer booked but were concerned because their wedding expertise was limited to one wedding. So, as any concerned bride does, I connected with my wedding planner, Monica, and shared my “heartburn” with my photography conundrum.
Within a minute, she recommended Jesse. My planner connected us and I had a call with Jesse that same day! She discussed her pricing (which BLEW MY MIND) because my other photographer was charging DOUBLE Jesse’s rate with less experience!
Without hesitation, I booked Jesse during our initial call together. We created a custom package with a second shooter and 10 hours of coverage.
On the day of the wedding, Jesse was prompt, professional and, as others have mentioned, blended seamlessly in to the event.
Her and her second shooter were incredible and worked their magic to capture raw emotion, candid footage and everything in between!
When Jesse submitted the preview photos to us a week after our event, we were FLOORED at how beautiful the photos came out.
Jesse has an INCREDIBLE gift and an eye for the “important” things to capture on a one-in-a-lifetime event (like a wedding)!
We are so incredibly excited to see the rest of our photos when they are completed. In the meantime, we wanted to express our gratitude, appreciation and sincere adoration for the images Jesse captured for us on our “big day”!
If you don’t want to risk your wedding images and photos are an important element of your special day, reach out to Jesse! You won’t regret booking her!

Jesse was absolutely amazing! She was the best to work with on our special day. Forst, we had our original photographer cancel on us 6 days before our wedding and Jesse saved the day. She got back to me within minutes and the process was smooth to book. My husband, our wedding party and I felt comfortable 100% with her. She was precise and had the best excitement and attitude that made all of us especially me get so excited too. I would recommend Jesse 1000%. Book with her and you won’t regret it.

Working with Jesse was such a pleasure! She is so kind and has this warm energy about her. Not only do her photos come out great, but she’s also very efficient with her time. We haven’t received our wedding photos back yet (our wedding was not long ago), but our engagement photos came out better than we could’ve imagined! Don’t hesitate to book with Jesse, you won’t regret it!

Jesse and her second shooter (sorry, I can’t remember his name…he worked with my husband…) were INCREDIBLE! Leading up to our wedding, Jesse was responsive and accessible and answered all of our questions. She was so professional and a breath of fresh air. On our wedding day, she was prompt and got right to work capturing so many wonderful details. We can’t thank Jesse enough!

I cannot thank Jesse enough. Our first conversation I felt super comfortable booking with her. Throughout the whole process of the wedding Jesse was always available and very quick to answer any questions I had. Leading up to the wedding she helped me with my timeline which I am so grateful for. The day of the wedding was so great. Jesse and her 2nd shooter were there once I arrived ready for action. I felt comfortable with the directions she gave if needed but she also let us be ourself in front of the camera. Our photos came out amazing and so dreamy, I couldn't have asked for better. Thank you so much Jesse.

Jesse was so great to work with and our pictures turned out beautifully. We were looking for someone who could pose us and help us feel comfortable. Jesse did exactly what we were looking for and was a bit goofy which put the whole wedding party at ease. On top of all of this, her prices are so reasonable!

Jesse was fantastic to work with! She was so kind and took amazing photos for our engagement shoot as well as on our wedding day. She always had ideas for shot locations and poses which I found so comforting and helpful as I usually have no clue what to do in front of the camera! I would definitely recommend Jesse Giles to anyone looking for a photographer :)

Jessie was absolutely amazing. She shot our engagement shoot and our wedding and the pictures were absolutely beautiful and a dream come true. She is quick and efficient and made sure the wedding day didn’t feel like a big photo shoot while still getting all the pictures I requested. She was great to work with and always answered all my questions quickly. She was a great person to have on my wedding day and helped calm my nerves. She knows just what’s she’s doing and is great for someone who never knows how to pose like me. She is assertive and works quickly which was perfect as I didn’t have a ton of times for pictures. I would highly recommend Jessie for your wedding.

If you are in search of a wedding photographer, look no further! Jesse is the BEST! I hired her after researching a LOT of photographers in the area and I found that she had a lot of great experience, a beautiful portfolio, amazing reviews like this one, and I felt that her pricing made a lot of sense. I liked how it was “a la carte” when booking. You can choose to add an engagement session, a second shooter, and the hours that best fit your event. Everything was broken down clearly. When we met her for our engagement photos, my husband and I immediately felt comfortable taking photos with her. She is super friendly and approachable and she really knows what she is doing. She was very quick to tell us how to pose and the entire shoot was quick and easy. The photos came out beautifully. I felt very confident in having her at my wedding. Once again, she knew exactly what to do, and made my wedding party, husband, and I feel very comfortable. Also as a note, if you are a Disney bride, she has a lot of Disney experience and my Disney weddings team also knew of her and had great things to say. We just got our photos back and were blown away with the quality. The photos are simply stunning and we are so impressed by how beautifully she captured our day. Also as a note, she is very organized, responsive, and punctual - everything you want in a wedding vendor. Definitely hire Jesse for your wedding!!!

Book her! She was more than amazing on the day of my wedding. I went back and forth about hiring her because I had some family friends who wanted to photograph our wedding but when it came down to it, I went with Jesse. I am so grateful I went with her, my photographs came out even better than I could imagine. She captured literally all of our little moments. She is very experienced so when it came to getting ready and putting on my dress etc., she added in little tips and tricks we never would have thought of. I honestly forgot she was at the reception and yet I have so many great photos from it! Book her, you will not regret it!!

She knew exactly where to place us, how to make everything look natural, and how to capture the perfect shots! We were blown away with our sneak peek at our photos and now can't wait to see the rest. I highly recommend her! Also, her second photographer Jenna was a wonderful help for all the extra shots we needed. Fantastic work from both of them!

I don’t think words can fully describe how blown away we were with our wedding photos. Jesse captured all our requested photos, but also photos we never thought to ask. Capturing group photos is a mission, and she did it with such ease! She has an amazing eye for detail, is very professional while being humorous, and helped make our day even more special. Looking at our gallery helped relive the beautiful memories made on our day, and we couldn’t be more grateful! Highly recommend!

We just got married last weekend and I cannot wait to see all the great pictures so we can relive our perfect day ! Jess was so responsive and helpful through the whole process, she also gave an amazing recommendation for video and the two of them worked so well together, I couldn’t imagine having anyone other than her capture our day!

Jesse was great to work with. We had her for an engagement shoot and also for our wedding. We haven’t seen the wedding photos yet but I’m sure they will be beautiful just like our engagement ones were. She was very helpful with directing us with poses and where to stand. She was also super helpful on the day of the wedding with bridal stuff like helping to place the veil and figure out my complicated bustle. She was honestly a life saver! So grateful to have had her there on our day.

It was an absolute privilege to get to work with Jesse for our photography for our wedding! We discovered her work through our event venue who highly recommended her. I took one scroll through her Instagram page and I instantly knew I wanted her to capture our love story! She has got to be the most nicest event vendor I have ever met as well. She was super professional, quick, and had answers to all our questions during the wedding planning process. The day before the event, she even offered to come to our rehearsal to provide her input on the flow of things which we are so appreciative of! The day of the wedding she was so flexible with change as well! I love that she remembered even the most minor details to make sure we got everything we could have dreamed captures. When we received our photos digitally after the wedding, I completely bawled my eyes out because she perfectly captured our love and a lot of key moments during our special day! Overall, we are just grateful we booked Central Florida’s BEST to shoot photos for our wedding! We would highly recommend Jesse Giles Photography for any destination wedding couples getting married in Central Florida! Thanks again Jesse for a perfect day we will never forget!!!

Jesse was great! So easy to talk to and put us at ease. We're not the most photogenic people around but she made sure to make sure our smiles were genuine and that our love shined through the photos. We did both our engagement photos and wedding photos with her. I paid in full so we could get a discount too. She is amazing and I would hire her again in a heartbeat!

Jesse is such a pro! We hired her for our intimate wedding at Bella Collina in April. First of all, she arrived early at the venue which eased our stress right off the bat. She knew all the best photo spots on the grounds without hesitation. She gives phenomenal pose direction. My now husband and I are kind of awkward, but she made us look so relaxed and natural. No awkward prom poses! I let her know of some of my insecurities, mainly my under eye dark circles I cannot cover with anything, and she edited the photos accordingly. Now THAT’s a good photographer. I’m not perfect, but my wedding photos sure were! For 6 hours of shooting, she gave us roughly 500 edited photos. That’s so many photos, we’ve had to upload on Facebook in batches for days! We were so happy with her work, we even had my sister in law book her for engagement photos, which also came out beautiful! If you get the chance, you HAVE to book with Jesse.

Wow!! What can I say?? Jesse is wonderful to work with and very flexible. She was right there from start to finish and quick to respond with any of my questions. I used a second shooter, Jenna, as well! She was fun and also took some great photos. It was a bonus to have the extra person there to capture those moments and help with an additional odds and ends. I highly recommend! Thank you, Jesse and Jenna! Our photos are more than we could have hoped for! 🙂

When looking for my wedding photographer, I started early on a Saturday morning and Jesse answered on the first ring. That was the first indication that working with her was going to be the best choice I made for my wedding day. Jesse is so laid back, accessible, easy to be comfortable around (if you're awkward with posing), and I would recommend her for any occasion! She was one of the only photographers that offered a military discount which meant a lot to me. My wedding was on New Year's Eve and she stayed for over ten hours on a holiday to capture every moment. My engagement photos and wedding preview photos are more stunning than I could've imagined. If you are on the fence about who to hire, just go with Jesse!

We could not have picked a better photographer for our big day. My husband and I were struggling to find and keep vendors once the COVID19 pandemic hit. Once we found Jesse it was like a sense of relief. She is so sweet and worked with us through it all (even me freaking out thinking I was sweating through my makeup on my wedding day). Her prices are so affordable and her work is absolutely amazing. We are kicking ourselves for not doing and engagement session with her before our big day. We are absolutely in love with our pictures. You will not regret booking her! It was one of the best decisions we made! Thank you so much Jesse!!!

Jesse was just Amazing! After our first meeting, we knew right away that we wanted Jesse to be a part of our special day. We are especially grateful that she was able to work with us during the corona virus issues. Our venue date was changed and we were so nervous that the date may not be available for her but it was. Thank god. During our wedding, Jesse was so professional and great at getting everyone where they needed to be. There was a big storm coming in and she worked so well to get all the photos we needed before the rain started. And I am so thankful for all the little moments she captured with my son and I. Thank you so much Jesse.

We absolutely loved working with Jesse for our wedding! We were originally booked for April 4th, but had to postpone due to COVID to June 13th. Jesse was nothing short of accommodating and helpful, and she was very outgoing and made us feel at ease for our engagement and wedding day photos. Her prices were some of the best I found in Orlando, but the quality does not suffer. She goes above and beyond and made us look great! Her turn around time for photos was great also! If you’re considering Jesse, do it! You will not be disappointed.

Jesse is the absolute BEST I’ve seen on the market! She takes stunning pictures and has a wonderful sense of style! She really knows how to work the camera. She was quick and had excellent equipment. We are so thrilled with our pictures! The colors are vibrant and really pop. She sends you the link and they are there forever! You can share and send to your family as well. Downloading the images was a snap and a breeze. She really captured the essence of our wedding. She gives military discount as well. We were so blessed as a friend recommended her to us and she was on our preferred vendor list from our venue. Jesse really goes above and beyond to communicate your wants and needs. She even recommended other vendors when one of mine fell through! Thanks again Jesse for making our day special, exciting, and providing us with gorgeous photos to remember for a lifetime!

Jess was so lovely and helpful throughout our wedding day I could not have asked for a better photographer.
She was on top on getting photos of all the key moments: the wedding party getting ready, the little interactions between us and our friends/family, and the B/G shots. We aren't great with taking photos but she made us feel at ease with directions. She was also fantastic at keeping to the schedule and making sure we got the good shots before the storms rolled in. I felt so bad having her run around different levels of the venue all day, but she was a great sport about it.
Highly recommend Jess if you're needing a photographer in the Central Florida area!

Jesse did such an amazing job at capturing our wedding! She was very easy to work with from the beginning. Our original photographer canceled on us at the last minute and Jesse was kind enough to accept another client last minute. The other photographer canceling was a blessing in disguise. Jesse went above and beyond my expectation, she was 100% worth it! The pictures are everything I wanted. She was very kind and calm in the chaos of the day. She was able to capture beautiful moments with ease. I can’t thank her enough for everything she has done!
