Jessica Connery Photography

the grounds that I had expectations of what she would deliver to me, as she had done for five years. I could not have been any more wrong. The day of my wedding seemed fine, and I didn’t see any immediate red flags. The day after my wedding, Jessica published a blog post with my wedding sneak peeks, and I again did not see any immediate red flags. Little did I know what was to come. Jessica delivered my wedding gallery in less than 3 weeks, and it absolutely showed. I have never been so unimpressed by photographs in my life. My heart immediately sank as I looked through my gallery and felt as if I was looking onto an amateur photo gallery. The images were nothing more than a point and shoot situation. Terrible angles, lighting, barely any edits at all.. she didn’t even bother to remove terrible red splotches on me or even add a preset. She basically just edited the exposure and called it a day. My ceremony images were full of terrible lighting, sun spots, had angles, bad positioning, you name it and it was there. My family photos were completely unusable. She failed to capture the photos that I stated were most important to me- and left me with barely anything. No photos of my bridesmaids helping me get ready, no photos of myself and my mom. Other important photos she only provided 1 if I was lucky, and it was poor quality. I expressed my concerns to her thereafter, and she admitted to me in writing that she basically rushed to get my gallery to me and didn’t take her time to edit the photos as I hired her for. She then promised that she would hire someone else to “fix” my images, as she does not know how to use photoshop. She never delivered a single “fixed” image. I’ve also had a few other people tell me they worked with her and felt like her work was of poor quality since this came about. I expressed all concerns to her, and she continuously made excuses to me and kept asking me to meet her in person to “show” her what was wrong, though I had already explained this numerous times via phone and email. She couldn’t grasp what was wrong with the images and had no desire to rectify the situation. I have since had to pay to redo everything in two subsequent photo shoots with alternate photographers. Most of the images I can’t recreate no matter how badly I want to. My experience with Jessica has cost me thousands of dollars and lost memories that I can never get back. Brides be careful. Do you research and don’t just go by what photographers post on social media because that is only the best of their work. She continues to believe that she is not in the wrong because she showed up on our wedding day therefore our contract is “fulfilled.” She will not admit that she did poor work and has no desire to rectify the situation, though I have given her many opportunities to do so.
