Jess is the best of the best! When I first started researching wedding photographers, I knew that my FiancĂ© and I wanted to invest in keepsakes that we would cherish for a lifetime. When I saw Jessâs portfolio, I knew she was the one! She helpe...d us create a custom Wedding package that included an engagement shoot and digital copies of our pictures. For our engagement photos, we wanted high-quality warm, fun, vibrant, and natural photos. All qualities that my partner and I share, and boy did Jess deliver! From the moment I hired her, she became our most trusted advisor, and best friend. From hour-long video chats to narrow down our vision, to calming my nerves when we had to change location last minute, she was there for me. At the engagement photo shoot, she set the tone as lighthearted, fun, and romantic, and boosted our confidence! We just had a blast! When we received our engagement photos back just one week later, she delivered them in an elegant, professional password-protected digital portfolio. The photos are beautiful! We are beyond pleased with how they came out, and the energy at the shoot came through in the infectious laughter and intimate moments Jess captured.
UPDATE:
For our Wedding, Jess had many video chats with us about what we wanted for our big day, and, together, we came up with a foolproof plan. Unfortunately, 3 days before the Wedding Disaster struck! Jess fell and broke her foot, and would not be able to shoot our wedding! Luckily for us, Jess is the ultimate wedding industry professional, and before she could even call me to tell me what happened, she already had a solution. She arranged for her long-time colleague Adam Franco to shoot the wedding, and even threw in an extra hour of photography to make up for the last-minute change. Jess had already been such a big support over the wedding planning journey, that I knew I could trust her judgement, and that Adam would be a great photographer. On the day of, he was on time, prepared with the shot-list I had compiled with Jess in hand, and he had a great manner with our bridal party and close family during formal portraits. The rest of the day, I barely noticed his presence as he flitted around and grabbed the most amazing shots of the wedding. This was absolutely the best day of our lives, and Adam felt like an old friend; we were totally comfortable with him. After the wedding, Jess took over by editing the photographs that Adam had captured. Fast forward to about 4 weeks later, and Jess mailed me a USB with a lovely note. In total, we received 791 crisp, clear, high resolution and beautifully edited Wedding Day photos. I cannot begin to express how happy we are with these photos. Some of my family members have suffered from life-threatening health issues in recent years, and to have high quality, formal and informal professional photos of them all, happy and healthy, is so meaningful. I plan on ordering prints of these photos from Jess as Christmas presents for my Family.
Jess is simply the best there is. Her professionalism, her fun loving personality, her skills, and most importantly, her friendship set her head and shoulders above other photographers. I plan on working with her whenever I can. I look forward to our future maternity shoots and family Christmas cards for many years to come. Do yourself a favor and hire Jess as your Wedding Day Photographer. You won't regret it!
