About this vendor
My style is modern, romantic and authentic. Moments are candid using editorial and documentary techniques. Colors are vibrant with a mix of soft and moody lighting. All work on my website reflects real life couples I work with, no styled shoots. My images are not retouched or composited. They are processed for minor color/exposure/crop corrections.
My approach is natural, I react to emotions, actions and the vibe of what is around me. With nearly a decade of experience in wedding and fashion photography I feel confident in capturing your natural beauty organically. It's a huge honor to be capturing all these special moments. When you hire me you'll not only get all the experience but a lot of care as well. I take on a limited amount of weddings per year to provide a intimate experience.

ly for the amount of time and work. She loves her job and it shines through her work. She felt like a friend and am so happy I found her for our wedding!
Wow. Where to begin with Jessica?! She was my favorite vendor from our entire wedding. She helped with so many details beyond photos and OH my, the photographs are just stunning. E...
veryone tells you that your wedding goes by in a blink and it’s true. Having these photos to preserve our memories feels like such a gift. And the images are genuine, artful and so reflective of my husband and I. She was able to capture all the details and even things I totally missed at our wedding. Thank you, Jess, for being a truly talented and kind soul. My husband and I, as well as our families, are forever grateful!
Having Jess as our wedding photographer was an absolute dream! Her beautiful photography speaks for itself, but in terms of working with her, she is so personable and warm, underst...
anding and receptive, professional and organized—she is everything you would want in a wedding photographer and more! From the first meeting, I was confident that Jess had a clear understanding of exactly what aesthetic and vibe we were looking for. Jess considerately helped us to choose the right package that worked with our budget and the coverage we were expecting. Throughout the whole planning process, Jess was so attentive and helpful, always keeping in touch and making sure that she was up to date with all our scheduling (she made the planning process SO much easier with her outstanding professionalism, and every bride and groom knows what a gift that is!). On the day of our wedding, my groom and I were assured that Jess and her second photographer, Stan, would do an amazing job, and they certainly did: they captured stunning shots of all the highlights of our wedding and more, formal and candid alike. We feel so grateful to have had Jess capture our wedding, and we recommend her without hesitation to anyone and everyone looking for a wedding photographer!
Jessica photographed our engagement pictures and wedding, and we couldn't be happier with both. On top of her photos being outstanding -- we have received compliments from everyone...
-- Jessica is extremely professional, flexible, and easy to communicate with. Her easy-going nature was a perfect fit for us. She also has a hidden talent of knowing exactly what to say to make you feel at ease and bring out your best so that you look great on camera.
We already hired her for another family shoot and would highly recommend her for anyone else's photography needs!
Jessica did incredible work for us on our wedding day. Her photos are outstanding and she is an absolute pleasure to work with. Having a quality photographer at the wedding was a...
priority for me, and Jessica far exceeded even my extremely high expectations. She also easily adapted to unique photography conditions imposed by our church, and succeeded in perfectly capturing every special moment during the ceremony. We couldn't be happier with who we chose to photograph our wedding.
If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! My husband and I could not recommend Jessica enough! I worked with Jessica about 3 or 4 years ago as a model and I just fell in love wit...
h her style of photography and use of natural lighting. I also couldn't get over how sweet, caring and professional Jessica is towards myself and her clients. Once I got engaged I knew immediately that Travis and I would take time to fly out and work with her. It rained for some of our engagement shoot and Jessica went above and beyond getting even the most perfect photos for us even under those conditions. I knew then that when Travis and I set a wedding date, Jessica would be the first to know and the first one hired to come to my wedding. I felt assured that my friends and family would feel comfortable and happy around her at my wedding as well as love the pictures she captures. I just received my wedding photos and could not be more in love with all of them! I was so fortunate to have her there as she traveled from LA all the way to upstate NY. I also want to add that Jessica's pricing is extremely reasonable and worth every penny, I will be able to cherish these photos for the rest of my life :)
Jessica took both our engagement photos and photographed our wedding… and we are incredibly happy with her work! We trusted her to capture one of the biggest days of our lives and ...
she far surpassed our expectations. Jessica didn’t just take pictures; she also caught the emotions we felt so we can relive the wedding every time we look at our album! She is very talented, very professional and we would recommend her in a heartbeat.
Jessica Castro is a wonderful woman and an absolutely fantastic photographer! She captured so many beautiful moments I couldn't have imagined anyone else doing a better job.

otographing a wedding can be extremely stressful but she handled the pressure effortlessly and really made the best from the time she was given. I would recommend any bride using her services!
Thank you Jess!
Here are, in no particular order, the reasons you should already be booking Jessica Castro for your wedding:
1) You want a pro. Jessica's work (jessicacastroweddings.com) is top...
-notch, phenomenal, and memorable, and she was super-responsive to any of the questions or requests we had.
2) You want to be blown away. We took a look at our wedding photos once they came back to us and could hardly believe that it was OUR wedding. It's hard to fully put into words, but just capturing a moment is one thing - what Jessica does with her photos is overwhelmingly breathtaking and beautiful.
3) You want to work with a REAL person. It's easy to get caught up in the minutiae and the (sometimes) unnecessary complexity of planning a wedding, but working with someone as passionate and authentic about her craft as Jessica was such a breath of fresh air.
We were very happy with Jessica Castro Weddings! Very professional! Very responsibly priced Extremely High Work Quality. Went way beyond the extra mile. We highly recommend her.
Jessica has now photographed three separate events for us, and after every occasion we are more and more impressed with her work. Every single request was met, and she exceeded all...
expectations. We couldn't be more pleased with her photographs, and all of the amazing moments she captured.
My husband and I made up our minds early on that one of the most important investments for our special day would be finding the perfect photographer; we knew that after everything ...
was all said and done, the images from our wedding would be the only thing left for us to reflect on and share memories years later. With that in mind, I was very particular about who we would hire; I went to school for photography myself so I had in mind the kind of work I was looking for.
Jessica was very professional, sweet and fun. Her assistant Hannah was also a pleasure to be around. Although the day of the wedding was a little scattered, hectic and stressful on some levels, Jessica and her assistant made sure to capture all the important details. Their presence didn't conflict with what was happening at all; they blended right into and flowed with all the fun and chaos, making everyone feel very comfortable with being photographed.
It didn't take long to get our images back and we definitely got more than we expected! The quality and creativity of the photographs are so beautiful and true to the overall feeling of our wedding day. My husband and I are still so impressed with the whole experience and to this day consider Jessica and Hannah our friends.
I highly recommend that anyone who understands the value of hiring an incredibly talented and thoughtful photographer for a day they never want to forget, to hire Jessica Castro; her work is worth every penny and more :)
