About this vendor
I have over 7 years of experience photographing hundreds of weddings around Houston (and around the country) making Brides and grooms look their best, with the best lighting, and showing their style! My favorite part about wedding days are the moments. For most of the wedding day, I am watching for those special moments- that first look on the Groom's face when he sees his Bride, that Dad trying to hold it in, and just all the laughs and fun during the reception celebration.
On Wedding Day, I want to capture everything for you! E-mail me at Jessica@jessicapledger.com to see if I am still available on your date!

We had the most wonderful experience working with Jessica Pledger for our wedding! Jessica was kind, clear, and patient during the setup process, always responding quickly to emails and messages and working with us to set up a photography package that made sense for our schedule. Jessica also asked very helpful questions to help me decide and articulate which photos were important to me and our family. She captured the beauty of our ceremony, the ridiculous delight of our reception (which was equally important to me), as well as the setting and details of the venue. I felt such joy and warmth every time I looked back through Jessica's photos and shared them with family and friends.
Jessica came recommended by our venue, the Lasker Inn, in Galveston, Texas. Her knowledge of the venue and some of the best settings to take photos was an added bonus!
I had an amazing experience with Jessica as our wedding photographer. Her talent and creativity captured every special moment flawlessly. She was professional, friendly, and made us feel at ease throughout the entire process. The final photos exceeded our expectations, and we're grateful for the beautiful memories she preserved. Jessica's dedication to her craft truly shines, and I highly recommend her for any special occasion. Five stars without a doubt!
Jessica was nothing less than perfect. Very professional, personable, and all around top tier. Her photographs of my daughter’s wedding are spectacular! We booked a destination wedding for my daughter in Las Vegas and Jessica went above and beyond to familiarize herself with the venue months before the wedding. I highly recommend Jessica Pledger photography.
"Jessica really impressed us during our engagement session. She displayed a laser-sharp eye for scene, color and frame, and made the whole experience feel like a celebration. She positioned us cleverly so we were happy to improvise the whole love thing. And we never stopped moving or having fun. It's pretty amazing how fast she can work while taking so many shots--and then deliver 289 awesome images. We recommend her highly and truly."
Jessica is an amazingly talented photographer and perfectly captures every detail of your special day! We have had the pleasure of using Jessica in the past for senior pictures and family pictures and are always impressed with her work. When it came time for us to choose a wedding photographer, there was no doubt in our minds who we wanted to work with. Her photographs are always stunning and timeless, and her experience and professionalism shine through all of her work. She is an absolute joy to work with and can ease even the most anxious bride. We are so thankful for how Jessica captured our special day on 10/5/19! We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer! She travels too!
I married the man of my dreams and Jessica was my photographer! I could not have been more thrilled. She also did our engagement pictures. Her pictures are beautiful, obviously. But where Jessica is truly amazing is in her ability to capture the most faltering pictures of you and make you look more beautiful than you ever imagined with the way she poses you and the angles she shoots from. I love every picture she puts out. Not only that, but she is a class act. Super professional, great customer service, and really easy to get along with
Jessica did an awesome job taking pictures at our wedding. She is so great to work with. She made our day special, trust her with your special day! You will not regret it!!!!
We were married in July in Las Vegas off the strip, but our hearts were set on getting some once-in-a-lifetime photos in front of the lights and our favorite places on Las Vegas Blvd. We have always been huge fans of Jessica's work, and she didn't let us down!
Jessica is a pleasure to work with. She is professional, kind, and made us look and feel like models. In fact, the Bellagio has since posted one of her photos on their instagram! Would highly recommend her!
Brittani Ross was our photographer and she was just OUTSTANDING! We could not have asked for a better photographer, she made everyone feel so comfortable and you can tell she truly loves her job. I highly recommend her!
We have the best engagement and wedding photos thanks to Jessica. She made the photo shoots so easy, which is impressive because I cannot smile for a planned photo. Jessica made the whole process easy and was always available for questions or advice. We had a difficult reception to photograph due to the low lighting, but what she took turned out amazing.
Jesssica photographed our engagement pictures and our wedding and they both could not have turned out better. Communication was awesome, she told us from the beginning exactly what to expect, helped me pick the colors of the outfits for the engagement pictures that worked best with the venue. She was very prompt in responding to any questions I had. She is easy to work with, super flexible, makes each session fun, and does an amazing job! She was amazing with my steps kids and the family at the wedding. So many friends commented after the wedding how friendly she was and how she always seemed to be there to capture the best moment. She captured all the moments I requested and so many more. I am so happy we chose Jessica to capture our big day, it was the best decision! She worked very well with our wedding videographer as well! She is the wedding vendor I most highly recommend! If I could give her more than five stars I would. Definitely let Jessica capture your special day, you will not regret it!
Love Jessica! She is an amazing photographer. She helps you feel so comfortable during the whole process. Our engagement photos were amazing and saw one sneak peak from the wedding and it is spectacular! We can not wait to see the rest. We are so happy that we got to work with Jessica!
Jessica is a phenomenal photographer! She is one of the very first vendors I chose and booked for my wedding.
All throughout the months leading up to the wedding Jessica stayed in contact with me about expectations, dates for various photos shoots (engagement and bridals), any shots I wanted specifically, and was always so bubbly and happy when we met up with her. She went above and beyond for us!
The day of engagement photos we had to cancel as I was sick, and Jessica was extremely understanding and got us in on her schedule for the very next weekend as a make-up day at no charge. The engagement photos are beautiful and she even humored us and took some photos where we had our dogs with us despite their short attention spans! It was rainy and windy as well, but we all powered through it and got some truly amazing pictures on the Galveston beach and in downtown Galveston on The Strand!
For my bridal photos we used the Butler Museum in Galveston which Jessica has used before- so she had some amazing ideas and shot lists lined up utilizing every side of the museum. I brought my dog Peach with me to my bridal photos as I wanted special pictures taken in her custom carved wedding collar from BullyFlop Collars. During our resting time where we were giving my dog a break and trying to stay cool Jessica got some of the intimate moments of us relaxing together- They are some of my favorites!
Wedding day was so great having Jessica and her helper Brittani there. It was so hot throughout the event! Jessica, again, powered through the heat and got a myriad of splendid photos. I will cherish these pictures forever! They are wonderful. There are so many gorgeous photos to choose from, I don't think I could pick a favorite! She made sure we got every picture on my list and then some!
Thank you so much Jessica, it was truly a joy working with you!
Amazing! Been very happy with Jessica. Communication was great throughout the entire process. We got a ton of great photos. Highly recommend!
Jessica was so much fun to work with, she made taking pictures with my fiancée during our engagement session so fun! She drove to the location I had in mind located in the Texas Hill Country to capture our engagement photos with my fiancé and our horse! Her quick turn around of sending you proofs as well as your engagement/wedding albums reassures you how organized and amazing she is to have as your wedding photographer. Jessica made my husband and I feel so special on our wedding day by capturing those special moments with friends and family that I will forever cherish. I highly recommend Jessica to be your wedding photographer!
I love love her work. She did such an amazing job on our engagement photos. She's a wonderful person to work with. She listens to what you like and your ideas. She knows what she's doing. She make it a fun photo session. I love that she plans the session ahead of time so we don't have to stand around and waste time to think on what to do in our photos.
Jessica is an amazing photographer! I was a little nervous going in to our engagement shoot because my fiancé kept reminding me he is not a model and doesn't know what to do and she was so good at working with us! We got a ton of amazing shots and couldn't be happier. She had the photos edited and back to us super quickly! I highly recommend Jessica!
Jessica Pledger Photography was by far my favorite vendor from our wedding! I searched for a photographer and when I came across her work I was thoroughly impressed. However, when I saw the prices I was nervous at the cost, so I ended up hiring her assistant Brittani Ross. Brittani was very professional and met with me to get an idea of what I wanted prior to my bridals. Much to my surprise, at my bridal shoot both Jessica and Brittani showed up. The photos were amazing and I had so many great options to choose from. At that point I knew Brittani would do a great job at my wedding. I ended up hiring Brittani for an additional hour at my wedding so I could be sure she got everything. Then Jessica Pledger Photography went above and beyond once again and both Jessica & Brittani showed up to shoot the wedding. They captured everything perfectly. The guests all loved them and we got every single detail and photo we could have possibly asked for. They sent me a few photos the very next morning and over 1,400 photos about a month later. Then in my mailbox recently I received the most beautiful package ever! A personalized flash drive, thank you card, and mini photo book of a few of the great photos they had taken. I could not have asked for a better venue or team of photographers. Hands down the perfect team! I will gladly say you should hire them and you will not be let down. Thanks again to Jessica and Brittani for letting me relive my beautiful wedding every day!
Jessica did our engagement photos at Buffalo Bayou and they turned out WONDERFUL! She is very, very talented and was able to really capture different scenaries and posed us with out us looking too "posed", which was my biggest fear! She got our touched up photos back to us within 2 weeks and what's even better, is that the photos are 100% ours. We didn't have to pay to download per photo like other photographers. Thanks Jessica!
When I was first wedding planning, Jessica was a pretty new photographer. She had done some weddings, but she wasn't as well known as she is now. She did have a pretty good looking portfolio, and she was very nice and professional, so we booked her. We were trying to save money, and boy, did she end up being a steal! I know people that paid way more than we did and did not have as high quality of photos! Her prices have increased, of course, but so has her talent, so she's still more than worth the money you're paying.
We did engagement pictures with her first, and she was very open to traveling all around our location, picking interesting spots to shoot. Then on the wedding day, she was very patient with getting all the shots we particularly wanted. She also had some great ideas for photos herself, plus she took some great candids during the day.
We got all the photos from her within a reasonable time, and she was overall just very pleasant to work with!
Jessica is incredible! She is such a lovely person and a truly amazing photographer. She delivers top notch photos for very affordable prices. I have had so many people comment on how great our photos are since our wedding in early 2015. Jessica thought of great photo opportunities that ended up making for excellent pictures. She's just the best!
Jessica made my wedding day so special. Not only did she capture the memories for us beautifully, but she made the entire experience comfortable and easy. Professionally and personally I couldn't have hoped for a better photographer. I will certainly be using her in the future!!
I have used Jessica Pledger for all three of the weddings in our family. She was the best. Her pictures capture the feeling of the moment. She was a professional every step of the way.
I cannot say enough good things about Jessica Pledger! To start our engagement photos were wonderful, it was hard to pick just a few since we liked sooo many! Jessica let us choose where to have the photos, she was professional and made us feel very comfortable. There were some delays on the wedding day, causing me to feel some extra stress. Jessica just chuckled looked at me and said "hey it's not going to start without you, these things happen all the time". Hearing that immediately made me feel better. She then suggested getting some pics out of the way and next thing I knew I was walking down the isle. The pictures of my wedding day are wonderful! I had an evening wedding and was worried lighting would be an issue. The hardest thing I have to deal with when it comes to using Jessica Pledger is what pictures to print!
Jessica is the absolute best. She photographed our destination wedding in 2011 and we've since recommended her to a number of friends and co-workers. She's easy to work with, her prices are very reasonable, and she will do whatever it takes to make sure you're happy with your photographs. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!
Jessica is the best photographer I have ever worked with! She took my engagement photos in the Boston Garden and they turned out beautifully! She is extremely talented and professional.
Jessica is the best wedding photographer I have found. She not only will make you feel comfortable on your special day, but she will talk with you to make sure she has all the shots you want. The pictures afterwards always show off the best of you and your entire wedding party. If I could rate Jessica higher I would. She did such a good job on my wedding photos that I am proud to show them off.
Jessica, thank you so much for all that you did for me and my wife on our wedding day at Butlers Courtyard. Everything that you did was outstanding. You were very polite and understanding of our requests. I appreciate that you went above and beyond to take great pictures of us and our guests throughout the entire day. Never did we feel like you were rushing us to take any pictures. Also, thank you for taking the time to a make us digital copy of our pictures and helping us choose which ones to print. You deserve much more than the 5 stars that I am giving you. I recommend you to anyone who is looking for not only a wedding photographer but also for any occasion.
I would recommend Jessica to anyone!! She very clear and upfront about her policies. I have used Jessica for over 5 years. She really makes sure that her clients get what they want. Her work is a representation of the hard working and talented person she is. I used Jessica for my graduation, engagement and wedding. I have recommended Jessica to anyone that has asked me about my pictures. She is a very sweet and caring person and will make any situation work. I did my engagement pictures in August (hottest time of the year) in a muddy rice field during harvest. Jessica was out there in rain boots, getting bit by mosquitos while standing on a ladder that was sinking in the mud. She made what I thought would be a stressful situation, a very calm and relaxing environment. The pictures turned out amazing! Jessica photographed both of my sisters engagements and weddings, family pictures for my older sister and pictures for my dad. My husband, who hates taking pictures, actually enjoyed every time Jessica has taken our photos. I love that her photos are not "staged", they are very natural looking. Definitely recommend her to anyone!
Jessica is AMAZING!! We had engagement photos taken a few weeks ago and the results are gorgeous. Jessica absolutely nailed the "feel" that we wanted for the photos and delivered exactly what we were hoping for. We also had a blast during the session! Highly recommend!!
Jessica Pledger has been my photographer since day one! Jessica was the photographer for both of my sisters weddings. Jessica does such an amazing job making you feel comfortable in front of the camera and getting to know her clients. Jessica's work is amazing and does an unbelievable job capturing such special moments and producing such beautiful pictures! I would recommend Jessica Pledger photography to anyone and everyone I know!
Jessica is great, makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. She knows poses and places to take pretty pictures. The turn around time is kind of long and she gives a lot of retouched/enhanced pictures. I would prefer to not have any of my pictures retouched. I didn't know she did this going into using her. She is wonderful to work with and very accommodating, but be sure to tell her exactly what you want.
I booked Jessica for a wedding 2 1/2 years ago that unfortunately fell through at the last minute. Jessica was an angel and showed such compassion and understanding. This past weekend, I married the man of my dreams and Jessica was my photographer! I could not have been more thrilled. She also did our engagement pictures. Her pictures are beautiful, obviously. But where Jessica is truly amazing is in her ability to capture the most faltering pictures of you and make you look more beautiful than you ever imagined with the way she poses you and the angles she shoots from. I love every picture she puts out. Not only that, but she is a class act. Super professional, great customer service, and really easy to get along with.
LOVE LOVE LOVE Jessica Pledger! She is awesome and did an amazing job. She is very professional but also laid back. She knows what she's doing and looks at every detail when taking photos. She did our engagement pictures, my bridal portraits and our wedding. I also plan on using her for family photos in the future. Again, PERFECT. Couldn't ask for a better photographer.
My husband and I loved working with Jessica! I love her different style of taking pictures. Can work with you to customize styles for pictures (thank you Pinterest!). Every detail and special moment was captured and then some that I would not have thought of! I really like that she included an engagement session with our package! Overall I loved her work and will definately have her do my future maternity pics! :)
I saw Jessica's work before I booked her, so I knew that she was really good but she completely exceeded my expectations. My family and I are just floored at the beautiful shots she got of our wedding. She is worth every penny! Thanks so much, Jessica!!
She is the best photography I have ever meet. Very professional very easy going and affordable.
I am so very grateful that we decided on Jessica for our wedding photographer. She did such an incredible job with our photos and with all the little things beforehand. Jessica came as a recommendation to us from our venue, Butler's Courtyard, and she was everything and more that they said she would be. We met with her at a Starbucks in town just to meet and discuss our needs and wants as far as a photographer goes. She also wanted to get to know us as a couple, which was nice. She let us see some of her previous pictures and told us a little about herself, too. We knew instantly that she was the one. Things went wonderfully on the big day. We had an 8 hour package, so she was there during pre-wedding prep until the end. We actually just got our pictures back Sunday. Words are not enough to describe how wonderful everything turned out. I would recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a photographer.
