Jessica Lauren was hands-down the best vendor we hired for our wedding. She shot our friends' wedding a year before ours, and as a bridesmaid, she was incredible to work with. She was clear with directing us, very efficient in getting a lot of shots and helped keep the day light-hearted and fun despite a busy schedule for us.
As a bride, she made my husband and I feel so comfortable during both our engagement shoot and our wedding day, and we are thrilled with our photos. (She got them back to us quicker than promised!) She made sure to get all the shots we requested, and did so in the rain. It absolutely poured our wedding day, and Jess slightly adjusted the locations of our outdoor shots and our timeline to get a few bride & groom portraits before the rain rolled in, and then she coordinated with the photographer of the other wedding at our venue to get all of our wedding party shots in there too as both weddings were trying to use the only covered space. Her second shooter - Adara- even drove in the rain to a separate location to get a couple of pictures of us outside of where we first met. Prior to our wedding day, Jess also helped us greatly with the timeline of our day in our planning meeting, and promptly responded to my emails with timeline questions throughout the wedding planning process. I can not recommend Jess and her team enough!
We had the absolute best experience working with Andrea to shoot our engagement and wedding photos, and Jessica to coordinate our timeline and edit our photos! Andrea made us feel so comfortable and gave helpful direction for poses to look cute and natural and she had the best eye for lighting, candids, special moments, etc. Jessica thought of everything so we didn't have to and edited our photos so beautifully. Many of our friends and family said these were the best wedding photos they've ever seen. JLP even sent two thoughtful gifts to our home while we were working together, a magazine of ideas before our engagement shoot and a Valentine's Day date night gift box surprise. I can't recommend them enough, they were both exceptionally lovely ladies to work with and made our wedding all the more special!
Jessica was incredible. Neither one of us are necessarily comfortable taking pictures, especially with different poses and for a longer amount of time. Jessica created a bond with us, so it didn’t feel a stranger was taking pictures, instead a friend. Her flexibility and ideas helped make the process so much smoother, such as the engagement session and wedding day itself. She clearly was invested in our day which was evident by the attention to detail and effort she showed us from the initial discussion, to the planning meeting, to our actual wedding day. We couldn’t be more glad we chose her as our photographer.
Working with Jessica gives you all the warm and fuzzies and she is truly a gem! From the first meeting, to our engagement photoshoot and wedding, we felt so comfortable with her! Her power to make magic is incredible and we consider ourselves so lucky to have snagged her to capture our big day and some of the moments leading up to it!
Jessica is absolutely incredible! My husband and I called Jessica (relatively last minute) to see if she could do a couples / family photo shoot for our elopement in the Botanical Gardens. She quickly answered the phone, was always so responsive to our emails and was incredibly accommodating. When we met her for the first time in person, it immediately felt like we were friends! It was literally a heat advisory with harsh sunlight at times, yet she still knew the best locations to take us and the most flattering poses. Seeing the gallery, you would never believe it was a hot day! The colors were so vibrant and flattering, and we somehow simultaneously looked like super models, yet authentically us! Jessica has a natural ability of capturing a couple's "vibe," while still providing ample guidance and instruction. She was such a champ, walking with us in the heat all around the gardens and listening to our vision. She made the day so special and now we have these lasting memories. Sincerely can't recommend her enough. We definitely hope to book with her again for other occasions!!
There are not enough words to describe how happy we were with our experience working with Jessica. It was the best decision we made for our wedding and I would use her again for other life events. Jess is not only kind and thoughtful, but she was super organized, professional, and on point throughout the entire process. I don’t always like taking photos, but she directed us in a way that made our pictures look natural and genuine. She made us feel so comfortable and at ease, which made every photo session enjoyable. Overall I highly recommend Jessica or her team to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. You won’t regret it!
Jess was the absolute BEST photographer my husband and I could have chosen for our wedding day. Not only do Jess’ pictures turn out AMAZING, she knows how to command a crowd for large pictures, she makes you feel incredible comfortable and confident, and she goes above and beyond to help her couples ensure their day is enjoyed to the max. Plus is extremely respectful and professional. For example, she took care of my veil when we were done with couple shots so I could get to the reception a few minutes sooner, she helped get a slight discoloration out of my dress, and in general, her calming presence goes a long, long way when the day can feel overwhelming. Can not wait to book her for future life events as I feel she’s now become a friend! Truly an amazing person inside and out. Book her, you won’t regret it!
If in doubt, please book Jessica! We cannot say enough great things about her. Everything from the moment we met her was warm but also so professional. The meetings she sets pre-wedding are so helpful. She even provided a wedding guide magazine with so many tips for photos! She is the expert and helped us build our timeline, put on my veil, and even had a sewing kit handy for when my husband’s button popped off. She provided sneak peaks & a gallery file on her website and they were organized & easy to access. She makes you feel comfortable around the camera and is so very kind. I would give her 10 stars if I could!
Jess was the best decision we made for our wedding. I truly think if you have one thing you want to splurge on for your big day, it should be the amazing photographs she takes. You can tell every photo is taken with love and care, and everyone was so blown away with how beautiful all the pictures came out. She really knows how to make anyone in front of the camera comfortable and natural, she’s the best hype woman. :)
Jess was very professional and I was so thrilled how quickly we got our photos back! I can’t recommend her enough.
Jessica is a fantastic photographer! We love our pictures and are so glad we found her. She's a true professional – responsive, reliable, and takes the time to discuss her process and answer any questions. And in addition to her talent and professionalism, she is a joyful person and made the picture-taking process fun and relaxing. I highly recommend Jessica Lauren to anyone looking for a photographer.
Jessica was amazing!!! Highly recommend not only is she super talented, she makes you feel so comfortable and at ease. She helped direct my wedding perfect and kept us on schedule and got the best shots! Couldn’t be more grateful!
I can’t recommend Jessica enough!! She was absolutely fantastic throughout this whole process and does amazing work. She is the sweetest human and helped make our day perfect. Thank you Jessica for everything and we will be using you for all our future needs, you’re the best :)
I knew from the moment I clicked on Jessica Lauren's website that she was the photographer for our wedding. From the beginning, she was prompted in responding to questions, she met in person to go over the details prior to booking, and making us feel comfortable being in front of the camera. We had our engagement shoot with her last summer and she captured our personalities and love so well.
The day of our wedding, she was absolutely amazing. She captured all of our favorite moments. She was an absolute joy to work with and is your #1 hype girl when it comes to your big day. She handled the flow of our busy wedding day with such grace. We already have some sneak peaks back while we wait for our final wedding pictures and I am blown away with the beauty of each photo. I cannot recommend her enough.
I could not recommend Jessica Lauren Photography enough! She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera as my husband and I are both not big picture people. She made the whole day fun and the pictures turned out stunning!
Jessica Lauren Photography is easily the BEST decision we made on our wedding day. Hands down. Jessica absolutely blew us away. I was referred to her from other friends who raved about how wonderful she was. I get it. I've been raving about her since my wedding day. She made the process so simple for us. She made us feel so relaxed in front of the camera. She made it feel so natural, and SO MUCH FUN. My husband even had a blast at our engagement session and in front of the camera on our wedding day. We were laughing all day long. I didn't have a wedding coordinator and felt like I was a bit unorganized, especially as I was also chasing around my 5 month old baby. I began to stress. Every little issue I had, Jess and Andrea were there to solve it and make my day run smoothly. They got us organized and kept us on track from start to finish. My necklace was in a knot, Jess was there to fix it. My hair kept falling all day and they were there to fix it and place it back every time. I didn't have bobby pins to pin my veil up, but guess who did... Jess! I realized right before photos that my bouquet just had a rubber band around it that wasn't super pretty, Jess whips out a case of ribbon and asked what color I wanted to wrap around it. My jaw dropped. This girl was prepared for ANYTHING. My dress was very complicated to try to bustle, but who helped my mom get it done? My girl Jess. Literally any issue I had, she was there to save the day. I felt so much more relaxed knowing that she had my back all day long. Not to mention, she is just the sweetest person. Always happy to help. You can tell she is passionate and enjoys what she does. Now the photos.... HOLY COW. She took the most breathtaking photos I've ever seen. Every single person looked amazing and was ecstatic with the photos. I am so not photogenic, but you wouldn't know it because she made me look flawless. I got so many compliments on our photos and everyone kept saying they looked like the cover of a magazine. Or that we looked like movie stars. She even captured so many great photos of our baby who likes to squirm and obviously not cooperate. This girl does it all. Weddings are expensive in general, but if there's one thing that was worth every penny, it was hiring Jess and Andrea to capture our special day. I will forever use her for any photos I need done in the future. She is your girl. Trust me.
If you are stressing about choosing the right photographer - I feel you, I was you, and I'm here to tell you: Jessica Lauren is hands down the best photographer we have ever had the pleasure of working with.
Every little thing we threw her way (photograph 7 toddlers, avoid photographing this pesky anxiety rash, navigate unique family dynamics, etc.) was met with a simple, "no problem," and most importantly, we believed her.
We trusted Jessica's opinion and expertise so much we told our coordinator that when we weren't around, Jessica got to call the shots for floral set up, decor, etc. She has a great eye and understands her clients' visions perfectly.
One of JL's best qualities is that she makes everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. She tells you exactly what you need to do while also being your number #1 hype girl in the process. It's hard to not have a good time and feel confident when you're in a JL shoot.
Perhaps most importantly, Jessica's photography aesthetic has a natural warmth to it that perfectly captures the way you feel on your wedding day. This was ultimately the selling point for us when choosing amongst a very competitive photographer market (we talked to over a dozen photographers!!).
Simply put - Jessica Lauren is a rare talent that makes me believe angels walk among us everyday. We will be back for family portraits!
Jessica, was absolutely AMAZING to work with. To rewind a bit, I have been following her work on social media for 3+ years and knew before I was even engaged that I wanted to book her for my wedding. I got engaged Nov. 2021 and emailed her hours after I got engaged asking what her availability was for Fall 2022. The next day I received an email back from Jess, and she was absolutely shocked and delightedly I emailed her the day I got engaged. Thankfully, our venue had our wedding date available the same day as Jess and it couldn’t have worked out more perfectly.
Jessica is the ultimate hype woman! She is professional, responsive, trustworthy, honest and incredibly kind. I am Type A person/bride, so I was excited when we received sneak peaks photos less than 24 hours after we got married! She was 100000% worth investment and a joy to work with.
Jessica is one of the sweetest human beings that I have ever met. On top of her enthusiasm and hard work, she takes THE BEST photographs I’ve ever seen, and my wedding would not have been the same without her amazing work! She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and made it feel so natural for us and our bridal party. Jessica stepped in when needed (cutting strings off of my dress, carrying my train, and making sure I always held my bouquet where it was supposed to be because I continuously forgot (sorry Jess!), and she did all of that with a smile on her face. I am so glad that we had Jessica to capture our wedding day, and I’m so lucky that we got to work with her. I genuinely can’t say enough nice things about her!
Jessica Lauren was one of the best decisions we could have made for our wedding. Not only is she one of the kindest humans I've met, she is a fabulous HYPE GIRL who made myself and my now husband feel so comfortable in front of the camera. I think this is one of the most important things to look for in a photographer because you will be spending the whole day together. Jess is genuine, knowledgeable, warm and patient. We ended up hiring our whole vendor team based on Jessica's recommendations!! Upon hiring Jessica, she sends a booklet with information on what to expect and tips to get ready for the big day. She also provides sneak peak photos within less than 24 hours of the event, which was both surprising and exciting for us to get to relive our engagement photos and wedding day right after. All around working with her was a magical experience and would 10000% recommend for any wedding or event!
I can’t recommend Jessica enough! She went above and beyond to be helpful, sweet and professional. From our first phone consultation to the day of our reception she made every effort to get to know exactly what we wanted to achieve. On the day of our reception she not only was crushing it by taking amazing, candid photos but she was also helping me all afternoon with my bouquet and phone. By the time dinner came around all my belongings were at the dinner table for me. The photos she took turned about better than I ever could’ve imagined. She made everything about the day even more special which I didn’t think was possible. I will absolutely be booking her for future family portraits.
Jessica Lauren was far and away the best decision we made for our wedding day. We were impressed with her work that we saw online but what really sold us was meeting Jessica in person and getting to know her. Immediately after meeting her we knew that she had what we were looking for in a wedding photographer. Neither one of us had much experience in taking professional pictures so we needed someone who could guide us through the process and give us direction. During our engagement photo session we were completely at ease with her and loved her energy and ideas. We also loved her personality and kind-heartedness. During our wedding day Jessica and Andrea were by far the biggest factors in helping make our day seamless. Taking pictures can be overwhelming and tedious but they made it fun and easy! We couldn't have done it without them!
From the moment I saw Jessica's work online years ago, I KNEW I wanted her for my wedding day (and all my big days before and after that!).
Jessica is as kind, understanding, fun, and patient as she seems. My fiancé is NOT the picture kind of guy, and I was worried his "awkward smile" would come out as soon as he stepped in front of the camera. But during our engagement pictures, Jessica made both of us feel so relaxed, and she got the most amazing shots (during a pending tornado, might I add..)!
During our wedding day, I felt calm and at ease knowing that Jessica and her assistant Adara were there to make sure everything went perfectly. It was 105 degrees and Jessica snapped the most beautiful pictures of me and my husband and our bridal party quickly so we didn't all sweat to death. Adara even went down the street to get lash glue for us because our lashes were melting off our face!! This team literally is the best. Before I went home that night, I already had 20(!) sneak peeks on my phone from the day. I couldn't believe it! And just a little over a week later, I had my whole BEAUTIFUL wedding gallery in my inbox, ready to download.
Jessica's professionalism, positive energy, pure talent, and STUNNING photos are just a few reasons why you should hire her. I will always speak highly of her and Adara!
When I was looking for a wedding photographer I knew I wanted someone who was going to make me feel comfortable on the big day. I Can’t remember how I found Jessica as a photographer but I remember looking through her work and loving that her pictures looked so authentic. When I first met her she was honestly just the happiest, most positive person and it was so clearly genuine. Not only are her pictures phenomenal but she kept me sane throughout the entire day and kept the entire wedding party on schedule. She was super easy to work with and really flexible. Most importantly, the pictures that she took of the wedding were everything I could ask for and more! Best decision I made by a long shot was booking Jessica and her team!!!!!!!
You literally will NOT find anyone better than Jess (as a human or photographer)!!! Her photos speak for themselves!! She is completely invested in your day and even created our day of timeline! She is a true professional while also making you feel as though you’ve been her bestie for years. She gets to know her clients and it shows in the level of comfort and love in the images she produces. Her effort and attention to detail is unmatched. As soon as I saw engagement pictures from one of my friends, I knew Jess was going to shoot my wedding (and I was still single at the time!!) Jess is absolutely the most incredible photographer and I can’t wait for her to capture my husband and I in future seasons of our life!
Jessica is not only a beautiful human being, but an incredible and passionate photographer. She will be your biggest hype woman and is honestly just spectacular to be around. She makes it easy, honestly. Her photos are gorgeous, just stunning and genuine...and her lighting!!! She really captures the essence of people, and I really can't say enough good things about her and her work. We are so grateful!
Jessica was so great! She made sure we got every picture we needed and it was so fun and relaxed! They turned out so good, couldn't be happier!!
Jessica is AMAZING!! You will never meet a better hype woman. She made Wes and I feel so special all day and I was so glad she was a part of our wedding. She really helped give us good direction on what to do and how to pose that it made me feel comfortable and relaxed and it helped our photographs turn out great. She even helped my bridesmaids figure out my bustle when it was not cooperating! I highly recommend booking her for your day!
I have been in 3 Jessica Lauren weddings, and I knew from the moment I got in engaged that she was the only one I wanted capturing our day! She will forever capture all of our big life moments. She puts her heart into each couple, and she makes your wedding day so seamless and magical. I will never not recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer that takes your vision and makes it a dream come true!
When I got engaged, I just KNEW I needed Jessica to capture my wedding day and she did not disappoint! Jessica really took the time to be sure to capture our wedding day so beautifully and I truly feel like I am reliving the best day of my life over and over again. She was amazing with all my family and friends and was the greatest hype woman ever! She made both my husband and myself feel so amazing and joyful and I am thankful she was apart of our day!
We are so incredibly grateful we found Jessica to be our wedding photographer. Investing in her talent is one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day! She is absolutely wonderful to work with, responsive to emails/questions, and dedicated to getting to know you as a couple. Jessica goes above and beyond to make sure you feel comfortable and are having fun taking pictures during your engagement shoot and on the big day. Beyond being an extremely talented photographer, she radiates joy and passion for her work which elevates your experience that much more. You are with your wedding photographer all day long and you need her energy with you that day-- TRUST ME! I can't wait to work with Jessica again in the future.
Jessica was absolutely amazing through the entire process! As a bride who woke up with no pictures, it was amazing to have SO many sneak peeks from all areas of our wedding photos the next morning already! She has a way of making you feel like you’ve been friends for life and bring so much joy to your day. She provided us with a timeline personalized to our events and kept the day flowing flawlessly. She even fixed a strap that snapped on my wedding dress without me even knowing - she truly does it all!! I am forever grateful I choose her as our photographer! Do yourself a favor and book Jessica :)
Jessica was the easiest decision I made about my wedding! There was never a single problem I had while working with her. Jessica makes the whole day so joyful. She perfectly captured our wedding day perfectly and made us feel so comfortable in front of the cameras. I can’t imagine any better wedding photos. She is extremely organized and knowledgeable about the wedding industry. She also is able to make any space beautiful in the photos. I highly recommend using her for your wedding. It is the best investment in your day you can make.
I’m currently trying to collect myself over how incredible our wedding photos are. Not only did she send me 40+ pictures THE DAY AFTER OUR WEDDING, but she made my day the best day ever. She is incredibly professional, but also will make you feel like you’re best friends—which trust me, you will want to be besties with her because she’s so dang sweet. Communication throughout the entire planning process was so easy and she made sure everything ran smoothly the day of. I sincerely cannot recommend her enough. BOOK HER ASAP. You will not regret it for even a second.
One of the easiest and best decisions when booking for our wedding! Jessica was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process! The initial phone call was like talking to a friend right away, and she was able to get our vision so well! You know she does an amazing job when after the engagement photo session, my husband said taking pictures was FUN! She is an incredible hype girl, makes you feel so special, and is the sweetest person to work with! Her help with the Wedding Day timeline took so much stress off of us, and on the day everything moved so seamlessly! What was even more incredible was how fast she got our images back! We had 50 sneak peeks the day after our wedding! And when the rest of them came in, we were blown away! She captures the day and mood so well, so many happy smiles in all of our photos! We would definitely recommend for any occasion! These photos from Jessica are ones we will cherish forever!
Holy cow!!! We LOVED having Jessica capture our wedding day!!! She was the easiest vendor for us to pick. When we first met with Jessica, she was so friendly and knowledgable that it was a no brainer for us - she HAD to capture our day. The photos she captures are sincere moments, absolutely beautiful, and reflect the true happiness you share with your person. From our engagement photos to our wedding day, Jess made us feel so comfortable and like we were superstars. HIRE HER FOR YOUR WEDDING!!!!!!!! Seriously, you will not regret it!!
More than I could have asked or imagined and I would choose Jessica a thousand times over.
Reliable. Responsive. Knowledgable. Encouraging.
Would all photographers stand in the back hallway of your reception venue graciously cleaning your wedding dress with a Tide pen after someone spilled red wine on it within the first 20 minutes of the reception? Obviously it was not in her job description but Jessica cares so well for her clients and she is always willing to go above and beyond.
She made all of our friends and family feel incredibly confident in front of the camera with her words of encouragement and gentle suggestions to change a pose. My husband was initially nervous about all the picture taking but truly had so much fun during our engagement and wedding sessions because of how fun Jessica makes the experience.
As a Type A bride, I was thrilled with how organized and efficient she was in everything she did. We received all of engagement and wedding photos in such a timely manner and they were all so beautiful. She sent us a magazine she created herself filled with so many engagement and wedding planning tips, and later on in the process we filled out a Google survey she sent us to make sure she could have as much info as possible about our day. Each time when we had our meetings with her, she was always well prepared and it was so easy to tell she knew what she talking about.
She photographed my sister’s wedding in 2016 and made such an impact that I made sure to immediately email her to see if she was free for my 2021 wedding. My sister only had extraordinary things to say about her for the past five years and after my wedding, everything holds true.
Jessica Lauren is a phenomenal human who brings absolute magic with her to your wedding day. Please don’t hesitate to have her be a part of it.
STOP YOUR SEARCH NOW! HIRE JESSICA! She is the ABSOLUTE best there is!! After hours of searching for wedding photographers, I am so happy I found her! Right when I spoke to Jess, I knew she was the one to photograph our wedding day. She is super responsive, which I absolutely loved! Her images speak for themselves, she does STUNNING work and will become your friend along the way! Jessica was the easiest vendor decision I made, seriously! Take my advice, and get your engagement photos done with her, so you get to see how great Jess will be for your wedding day! She is your hype girl and will even help you with things on your wedding day. She is so kind and a lifesaver and I can't recommend her enough!
From a groom's perspective: I do not like getting my picture taken and wasn't as excited as Brooke to have an engagement photoshoot. After it was over, I wanted to go back and take more, it was an absolute blast! So, that speaks for itself as well! I was so comfortable and Jess was so encouraging and told us exactly what to do (especially with our hands :)).
If you are on the fence about who you should hire for wedding photography, I would HIGHLY recommend Jessica! From the beginning, she was professional, courteous, and available. She not only took spectacular photos, but she helped guide us through much of the planning process and was there for us throughout the entire wedding day-so much so that the day wouldn't have gone as smoothly without her. She helped us feel comfortable and confident behind the camera and she always managed everything with a smile and an encouraging word. We loved working with her!!
Jessica is beyond talented!! She made us feel so confident & comfortable in front of her camera and the pictures turned out so good! She went above and beyond to make sure every part of our wedding day was absolutely perfect, even helping us figure out our timeline before our wedding. She made the day completely stress free and we didn't have to worry about anything the day of, because she took care of it all! We cannot recommend her enough, she is the best photographer and sweetest person!!
Jessica is an absolute dream to work with. We cannot even put into words how thankful we are to have had her photograph our wedding day! I think we were both a little nervous at the idea of taking wedding and engagement pictures but Jessica makes the whole experience effortless. She has a wonderful way of making everyone comfortable and capturing everyone's authentic selves. She is organized, professional, and anticipated any and all of our questions at every stage of the planning process. To top it all off, she is one of the kindest and sweetest souls you will ever meet. By the end of this process, it truly felt like she was an old friend shooting our wedding. Every single person who has looked at our wedding photos has been blown away by their quality. We could not recommend her enough!!
Jessica is a talented photographer. We loved all of our wedding/engagement photos. We would absolutely recommend her for anyone's wedding!
She also has an amazing personality and makes you feel so comfortable the whole time!
Jessica deserves WAY more than five stars! She is the absolute greatest!
From the moment we met for coffee to discuss our wedding vision, I knew she was perfect for our special day. I felt like we have known each other for years, which made it that more comfortable! My husband and I can be extremely awkward infront of a camera... like "I don't know what to do with my hands kind of awkward," but not with Jessica. She is the biggest hype girl and makes you feel like a supermodel. Even when things become stressful or even questionable (like planning a wedding during a pandemic), she's there to ensure that you are not alone and not to hesitate to reach out to her. Annddddd on top of her being incredible human, she is a true artist. Her work is so STUNNING that people I don't even know are asking me who did my wedding photos. And without any hesitation, I recommend Jessica. Even if you aren't able to book her, you should go give her a follow on Instagram. She'll inspire and bring light into your life.
We are incredibly blessed to have Jessica come into our lives. I truly couldn't imagine my wedding day without her.
Love ya Jessica! Happy to have gained a friend out of this experience. <3
I would hire Jessica again in a heartbeat! We had an intimate ceremony with only twenty two guest. Multiple guests commented that they didn’t even notice Jessica taking photographs during the ceremony. This is quite the testament to her professional skills. Jessica was a gem to work with and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Our photographs are heirloom quality and we will revel over them for years to come. Do yourself a favor and contact Jessica today. You will not regret it.
Jessica was absolutely amazing for both our wedding and engagement photos!! Her personality is contagious and she makes you feel so comfortable while taking the pictures! She makes all the planning super easy and fun! I wouldn’t have wanted my wedding captured any other way. Everyone keeps telling me how amazing my pictures are. She is the sweetest, so very professionl and I highly recommend!! She truly loves what she does and you can tell how important it is to her to make your day the best.
Jessica is so incredibly talented and did a phenomenal job capturing the most special moments of our wedding. We absolutely loved all of out photos, and we were very impressed with her professionalism and flexibility, as we had an untraditional wedding. I also loved that she relieved my stress and compensated for my indecisiveness by helping me craft a timeline to optimize the best natural lighting and backdrops for our photos. Also, even though I provided her minimal details before the event because I was focused on other things, she immediately adapted when she got there and quickly became acquainted with all of the key people on her own that I wanted photos with. I was super impressed with her ability to navigate the event and capture my vision for photos with little direction from us. Like I said, she is a natural at her trade and extremely talented. Jessica's services were one of the best investments we made in connection with our wedding day! My husband and I highly recommend her.
Jessica is absolutely amazing! I’ve known about her for years since she’s shot all of the important moments in my sister’s life and I KNEW that I had to have her shoot my wedding! She shot our engagement session and wedding and the pictures are truly SO incredibly beautiful! Her work is ART at its finest! AND, she is the kindest, sweetest, friendliest person EVER and makes you feel like you’ve known her for years the moment you sit down with her! I couldn’t recommend her more highly! She is a gem!
BOOK JESSICA!!!!!!!!!!!!! My twin sister was in a wedding that Jessica shot and my sister called me and said "you NEED to book Jessica Lauren, you will love her." Through some intense instagram stalking, I knew I needed Jessica to capture my big day. Not only are her photographs absolutely stunning, but she makes you feel so comfortable. Every. single. person at my wedding complimented Jessica's photos and how professional and organized she was. She wasn't just a vendor at my wedding - I can honestly say she made my day so much more special. She loves her work, and it shows in her pictures. She is worth every penny and then some.
Jessica was recommended to us by our florist and we couldn't be happier! We planned the wedding in about 1 month due to covid and Jessica was on it the whole time. She is seriously the BEST and exceeded all exceptions that we had. She is extremely professional, makes you feel relaxed and as if you had known her for years. She 100% knows what she is doing and has the ability to capture all the moments needed to keep reliving the day. I get emotional knowing that we have those memories documented forever! Thank you so much Jessica for being there to capture our day <3
Do yourself a huge favor and book Jessica for your wedding, like now!! I found Jessica on Instagram about two years before my husband and I got engaged and I already knew I wanted her as my wedding photographer. She was the first person we booked for our wedding day and I can easily say it was the easiest decision of the whole wedding planning process! When you meet Jessica, she is a warm, bubbly, inviting, and such a compassionate person who truly has such a passion for her couples and what she does! Not to mention her work is absolutely AMAZING!! We just got our photos back and there were definitely automatic tears from everyone who has seen them, and she truly helped capture the day so beautifully so we can relive the best day of our lives whenever we want! During the wedding day, Jessica was also SO incredibly helpful whether that was to cue us during pictures, help ease the nerves, and she even helped with my bustle on my dress when we were straight up struggling to fix it! She brought such a fun and contagious energy, and it was such a blessing to have her with us on our special day. Overall, I cannot recommend Jessica enough, and you should definitely book her now before it's too late!!
Jessica is seriously THE BEST!!! She did our engagement photos in April 2019 and we absolutely LOVED them! My (now) husband and I were scheduled to get married in Chicago in July 2020 but because of the virus, we were unable to. We decided to do a small ceremony at our lake house on our original wedding date so I reached out to Jessica about a month before and she was completely open to photograph our small wedding for us. She was so accommodating and understanding and we absolutely loved our pictures from our special day! She made us feel like rockstars and also made us feel so comfortable! Jessica is the BEST photographer and I’m so happy she was able to capture our special moments for us! Thanks again, Jess!
Jessica is the best of the best! First off-- she is sweet, fun and just makes you feel like you've been friends forever. Her work is amazing and speaks for itself. Her photos are absolutely stunning and she does incredible videography as well. I wish I had known her when I was getting married because I for SURE would have flown her out for my wedding. The photos she took of my family are some of my favorite photos of us of all time and I will cherish them forever! <3
Choosing a phenomenal photographer was really important to me so I could always look back on my wedding day for years to come. Jessica did an amazing job on our engagement and wedding photos. Our original wedding plans went awry with covid-19 and Jessica was extremely accommodating through everything and was able to photograph our small wedding, while also still photographing our big reception and vow renewal next year. Jessica is not only extremely talented but also so sweet and genuine. She made us feel so comfortable while taking pictures. I highly recommend her and we will cherish these photos forever.
Jessica is AMAZING! It is often hard to find a photographer who will provide excellent photos AND excellent service. Jessica provides both of these. She is very knowledgeable, and I truly felt like I could go to her with any type of question and she would have an answer. She made my husband and I feel like we gained another friend! Jessica was very organized throughout the entire process, and she even put together a wedding day timeline for the day of the wedding. This helped us immensely. It was just amazing to not have to be in charge of rounding everyone up for pictures. Her and her crew were THE BEST! You will not go wrong by choosing Jessica!!
Jessica is so amazing and the sweetest person ever! She makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera and has a great eye. If you want your photos to embody happiness and love, then she is perfect! She really makes sure to capture the true emotion of your wedding day! We love her so much!!
My husband and I got married in November and we already have our wedding gallery! Jessica is amazing! Not only is she an amazing photographer but she is an overall amazing person to work with. My husband does not like to be in the spotlight so he was nervous to have the photographer in his face the whole day of our wedding. BUT it was the complete opposite. Jessica worked with both of us and made everything so easy. And words cannot explain the quality of the pictures. We will definitely be using Jessica for anniversay sessions in the future. We highly recommend using her for proposal pictures, engagement pictures, wedding pictures, and everything!
Jessica is the BEST!! She is organized and professional, but also friendly and welcoming. And obviously, her photos are amazing. She really makes you feel comfortable throughout your session, and takes the extra time to get to know you. I cannot recommend Jessica enough!
It is hard to put into words how thankful I am that we booked Jessica Lauren to be our wedding photographer. Not only is her work absolutely amazing quality with a unique style, Jessica is a great person to work with. She is extremely organized and helped us create a schedule beforehand to keep our wedding day on track. She stepped in and basically acted as a wedding coordinator to help make sure we stuck to that schedule as much as possible. Also, for someone who is typically uncomfortable in front of the camera, I was nervous going into the engagement session if that nervousness would show in our photos. During both the engagement session and the wedding, Jessica did an amazing job at posing us naturally and making us feel like models. Her encouraging words truly put us at ease! The only issue you might run into when booking Jessica Lauren.. good luck picking photos!! We have soooo many magazine quality pictures to chose from!
What can I say about Jessica, I mean there are absolutely no words to explain the work she does. We had our engagement and wedding pictures taken by her and we were blown away by all of the amazing pictures. Now I am usually the one behind the camera so being front and center was a little frightening to be honest! Jessica made us feel like it was just another day, like we did this all the time! Everything was so comfortable and fun! I truly can call her my friend forever and she will always be my go to photographer!! 100 out of 10 you will not be disappointed by Jessica's beautiful work!
The best ever!! I can’t say enough about how amazing my experience was. Everything and more I could have asked for on my big day!
“Model status!” “Yes!” “Fabulous guys!” These are just a few of the many praises you will hear when Jessica is taking your photos. Who wouldn’t want to hear that versus constantly being told which way to shift your shoulders and how to place your hands? Jessica is FANTASTIC. Her positive energy all day, natural poses, and genuine compliments make you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. After our engagement session my husband literally said, “That wasn’t bad at all.” Her quality speaks for itself and she will produce photos that you can’t wait to hang in your home. Jessica makes the wedding process so easy by giving you her very own wedding experience book and detailed “day-of” timelines. If you like her photos then there is nothing else to think about. She really will become your best friend and the best decision of your wedding.
