Please DO NOT use this photographer. The pictures are unacceptable, and are not an accurate representation of what are in her portfolio. As the photographer, I expected her to be the expert in this exchange. Jessica was inexperienced, and ...it showed. At the church Jessica and Maria , the two professional photographers, set up the lighting, instead of turning on the lights. I asked her before we started, "Would you like me to get someone to turn on the lights?" She stated, "No I've got this." I wish I would have taken a look at the ONLY group shots of our families she took of our families of the day. Every single one of the family portraits had shadows on the faces & chests of the shorter people in the pictures. How did these shadows get past two professional photographers? In addition, of the photos she sent us to review a number of people were not looking at the camera or their eyes were shut. When I asked her if she edited these photos she said she did. When I sent her an email, she did not take our concerns into consideration, she fixed one group photo, and then informed us that if we wanted additional editing that it would be $15.00 per photo-- for the photos that were blurry and had shadows on my face and body from the lighting she set up instead of turning on the lights. Jessica wasn't able to give good feedback to our group in posing either. A number of the shots were off centered, peoples' backs were showing, mother of the bride and groom were not looking up in the pictures she took of them, and wedding party were caught in awkward head tilting poses. She did not get the attention of the parents as they were walking down the aisle, so those pictures she took were of the parents looking down at the ground. Direction from the professional photographer was once again needed and was not met. It really upsets me because in 35% of the photos, her assistant is smiling & holding a camera in the background, not taking pictures, when she was at a better angle to get a shot of their faces, instead of their backs. In our initial meeting, I told her I wanted more shots of the 230+ crowd, and we received close ups of one present, a flower arrangement, the cake topper and 15 guests dancing. She is good at taking picture of things not moving. I sought advice from other wedding professionals, asking if this work was what I could expect for the price I paid. They were all in agreement that her work was substandard yet we paid a premium for the services. In my judgement she would be an good assistant, but please I beg you don’t make the same mistake I made, don’t use her as the primary photographer. I will never get this day back. I regret using her as our photographer. Several guests asked why she was standing around not taking pictures. I don't know? When I look at the pictures she took I think of what a waste of money and time. Photography is one of the most important decisions and crucial to the record keeping of an event. Sadly, friends taking pictures with their I-phones did a better job at capturing the day. I wish they would have taken more pictures, but I think we all just thought, she has a professional photographer, surely she will take better pictures than I can. I am sad to say that didn't happen. I don’t feel like she captured our wedding day, and for that I am truly heartbroken. Jessica, as a bride, I must ask would you want your memories with blurry shadows on your face?
