I highly recommend Jessica Vidmar! On my wedding day, she was the person I was so glad I had booked! I thought at first it was more than I wanted to spend on photos, but I do not r...
egret it at all. Her photos are absolutely beautiful and I know they will last a lifetime! I am so glad to have chosen her to be our photographer. All throughout the wedding day planning and engagement period, she was so helpful and wonderful to work with. We got our engagement photos done with her too, and she really had an eye for what photos to take and what would come out well! She knew how to pose us to not look too posed and to let our natural energy shine. She has a lot of professionalism, and kept us on schedule as best she could, but she also kept the energy light and happy and didn't make it seem like a problem when things were falling behind schedule. Communication with her was so easy, she responded back always in a timely manner and was so helpful with advice and suggestions. The quality of service was top notch! If I had to go back in time I would book her all over again!!
Jessica is the sweetest person. She really listened to what I wanted for my photos. I had a lot of requests for engagement photos and day of locations and special photos. She went ...
above and beyond to make sure that I got everything I wanted. I received so many photos in the gallery and am absolutely thrilled with how they turned out.
Jessica was amazing to work with, she's fun, insightful and very generous with her time and energy. Not only did she capture incredibly amazing photos but also made us feel relaxed...
throughout the process. She made us feel at ease from the first time we met her, from our engagement photoshoot to the wedding day and communicated throughout the process to make sure we get photos of every detail we wanted. She has done a fabulous job with our wedding photos and we love our huge album, she captured every tiny detail and every emotion from the day depicted beautifully in these photos. We are so grateful to her and can't recommend her enough. Booking her was the best decision we made and you would too!
Jessica photographed our wedding on 12/02 and I am truly at a loss for words. On top of being an amazing photographer, both her and her second shooter Hillary, were an absolute ple...
asure to be around all day. Jessica was incredibly organized throughout the booking process and truly made us feel so calm and at ease on the day of our wedding. I truly cannot wait to see the pictures they took and cannot thank them enough for being such a pleasant addition to our best day. <3
I cannot recommend Jessica enough! Jessica did our engagement photos, rehearsal dinner/welcome photos, and our wedding photos. She is not only an extremely talented artist and phot...
ographer, but she is a joy to work with! Every step of the way she made us feel relaxed, comfortable, and cared for. We really would not have had the perfect day without her.
Prior the wedding, Jessica spent so much time with us making suggestions to and reviewing our timeline (to the point we used her template as our guide!) and discussing all the must-have photos throughout the day. It made us feel so prepared, helped the day go smoothly, and ensured we had the perfect compilation of pictures.
Jessica's photo are truly stunning. You can tell she spends extra time and detail fine-tuning each shot. And there were a LOT of pictures! We could not be happier with our photos!
Thank you Jessica for all that you do!

If you are looking for the absolute best Photographer in the Cleveland area, Jessica is the one! She is personable, funny, and truly cares about you not only as a client but as a ...
couple. She takes the time to get to know you and what you are looking for and is so detail oriented and organized. She makes the day itself so easy and worry free and is very on top of getting everyone where they need to be for the pictures to be perfect. The pictures themselves are flawless! My brother and sister in law also had Jessica for their wedding and we knew right away we would be calling her for ours based on the fabulous job she did! We will continue to recommend Jessica to everyone we know that has an upcoming wedding, she will not disappoint :)
I honestly cannot say enough kind and amazing words about Jessica. She took both our engagement pictures along with our wedding pictures and literally blew us away! They are absolu...
tely gorgeous and really capture our love perfectly. She captures mostly candid pictures (aside from some formals) which are my favorite kind. She really made both of us feel really comfortable, feel relaxed, and made my husband actually laugh/enjoy getting his picture taken. The day of our wedding was a torrential downpour up until 30 minutes before the ceremony so most of our pictures were taken inside and she made them look incredible! I am so thankful she was our photographer, she is out of this world talented!
Jessica is a joy to work with and I cannot say enough about how happy I am with the photos, her professionalism, and how great she was on our big and special day! She is simply one...
of the best in the photography business! Her style is nothing short of light, airy, and perfectly dreamy and I am in love with how they all turned out! You will not regret hiring her!!
We are so grateful to have chosen Jessica Vidmar Photography for our wedding day! She is extremely organized, literally provided us a sample itinerary right after our intro call (b...
efore we had officially booked) which we then used as the outline for our wedding day. Her attention to detail is unmatched -- from the extensive questionnaire to make sure she captures all the special details on your day, to the coordination of extended family photos, we were so impressed from start to finish. She strikes the perfect balance between low-key and taking charge to get the perfect shot. I was a very anxious bride, and her calming presence on wedding day was greatly appreciated. My favorite part of the day was our first look and the photos we took before the ceremony. It was just us and the photographers, and I can still hear Jessica telling us to just "take it all in" and enjoy the moment with each other.
It's also worth mentioning that we decided to add a videographer 6 weeks before the wedding, and by the end of the night you would have thought they were best friends. Thank you Jessica for capturing our wedding day so perfectly!
Jessica has been absolutely fantastic! She stood with me and supported me through all the changes in my wedding due to the pandemic. At the last minute, she offered to photograph o...
ur small intimate ceremony so we were able to still get married this summer. She also very willingly offered to photograph our wedding next summer when we frantically changed dates. I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer and I am so thankful that she was able to capture our day so perfectly. We can’t wait to work with her again next year!
When we came across Jessica’s work a few years back we knew immediately we wanted to have her capture our wedding. Meeting her just sealed the deal! Jessica has a way of making you...
feel like old friends as soon as you meet, and she truly wants your photos to shine. We were a little nervous about being awkward in photos, but she is so good at what she does and made us feel comfortable immediately at our engagement session! We loved the authenticity in each moments - everything is real and genuine without feeling staged or posed. Her second photographer, Melody, was just as amazing and we could not have asked for more. When we had to change our 2020 date, Jessica was so accommodating and made the process stress free and easy. We truly cannot recommend her enough - do yourself a favor and book her for your wedding!! It was the best decision we made!
We just finished our engagement photo session with Jessica. She was absolutely amazing! She made us feel extremely comfortable and made the entire evening a blast. We highly reco...
mmend using her as your photographer, you will not regret it!
Jessica is phenomenal at what she does!!! I can't say enough good things about her. She captured our mini wedding so beautifully, and we are using her again for our larger receptio...
n next year! She is a joy to work with, so flexible and accommodating with the COVID changes we had to make. And her work is stunning! We would recommend her to anyone in the Cleveland area.
Jessica and Hillary were a dream to work with! I can be very camera shy and uncomfortable in the spot light, but they made me and my new husband feel very comfortable and we had so...
much fun with taking pictures on our wedding day! We got to meet with Jessica before the wedding, since we were out of town and unable to do an engagement session with her and it really helped! She was so attentive to all our requests and captured so many moments we could not have dreamed of! Her editing style of the photos was amazing and different for each photo to fit the scenery and setting to make it unique and not cookie cutter. We got over 2000 photos, and it took about 2 months to get them back, but we got an awesome sneak peak after only 2 weeks! She was not the most expensive photographer we were looking at, but I wouldn't have wanted anyone else, our whole family and bridal party loved her too! Thanks Jessica!
We had the most wonderful experience having Jessica and her photographer partner be there for our wedding. We would honestly not change anything about our decision in choosing her....
We have had so many friends and family members comment on the quality, the creativity and the outcome of our photos. She is very flexible for setting up pre event meetings as needed, she is extremely timely in communication regarding planning questions, and super flexible, easygoing, and fun to be with on wedding day. We planned our wedding from across the country (we live on the West Coast and got married in Cleveland) so did not have many times to meet/talk and she made it work every time. We had many friends recommend her and are so glad we did as not only the outcome of our photos is amazing but she is amazing as a person to. She is fun to be around and is really easygoing on the day. She makes suggestions on what to do but allows you to have the final say in things so she is the perfect amount of helpful. We would strongly recommend having Jessica be involved in your wedding especially because of how easily she worked with the videographer crew as well! Thank you Jessica!!
We are so so so happy that we chose Jessica as our photographer. She was warm, friendly, and extremely professional. She worked with us to create the ideal timeline for our day, an...
d helped us to feel totally comfortable. Neither of us love being photographed, so we were a little nervous, but on the day of the wedding, she kept us relaxed and on track, and was able to help us ensure that we had all of the shots we wanted (including a first look with our two wiener dogs!) Most importantly, she took BEYOND beautiful photos (a friend told me they looked like they belonged in people magazine!!) and helped us to feel beautiful on our wedding day. You will not regret hiring Jessica for your wedding. Do it!!
For anyone looking for a photographer to perfectly capture every moment of your wedding day, Jessica is your girl!! I can’t recommend her highly enough!! From the moment I met her ...
I knew we were going to be in good hands! Jessica is not only truly talented at what she does, but she was so much fun to work with! With such a large wedding party, she did a great job of making sure everyone was where they were supposed to be which allowed my husband and I to worry about enjoying every moment of our big day! We will cherish our engagement and wedding photos forever!!
Working with Jessica was absolutely amazing from the very beginning of the process to the actual wedding day. She has this amazing calmness and positivity to her that made us feel ...
absolutely comfortable with every single moment of taking photos and keeping all wedding day photos running smoothly (even in 95 degree weather :)). She went above and beyond with spending an hour to answer all our questions during our initial call to the capturing the most AMAZING shots of our wedding day. We have so many incredible memories to look back on from that day that are far beyond what we could expect. Honestly our favorite vendor, and would recommend her to all our friends in the wedding planning process.
Jessica is the best photographer to work with! She’s very organized and had many great suggestions to offer when I was trying to figure out where I wanted to take my pictures. On t...
he day of our wedding, Jessica was in total control while exuding a calm confidence. She captured every single moment of our wedding, from the big moment of me walking down the aisle to the smallest detail of the boutineer on my husband’s suit. My husband and I LOVE our pictures and can’t wait to display them in our home!
We LOVED Jessica! She was so open to our questions and recommendations throughout the process and made us comfortable before the big day that everything important to us would be ca...
ptured. Boy did she deliver! The photos are wonderful - a lot of really great candid shots and the formal shots we were looking forward to doing. Jessica had great recommendations (we relied a lot on her for those) and was super flexible on wedding day when we asked for a few off the wall photos. We couldn't recommend her enough. If you are looking to feel secure and confident with photography on your wedding day, definitely look into booking Jessica.
Jessica was AMAZING!!! From the time we booked up to getting our photos she was professional, kind, and organized! The day of she did a great job of taking control of our large bri...

Asking Jessica to take my photos on my wedding day was the best decision I have ever made. The images she captured took my breath away the first time my husband and I saw them. We...

Where do I even begin with Jessica!? From the moment we had our first meeting and all the way until after the wedding, Jessica has been nothing short of amazing. She created the we...
dding timeline for us and gave us the best advice! She made me feel so comfortable during the whole process and kept me very calm during the day of the wedding. Her knowledge and expertise gave us the best wedding day ever! The photos are just absolutely lovely and I couldn’t be happier to fill my home with so many beautiful priceless memories. All of my bridesmaids and hair stylist even agreed that Jessica was one of the best photographers that they’ve ever worked with! She listens and cares with her whole heart and genuinely wanted to give us the most special experience!
Jessica was a dream to work with! My husband, myself and my whole family had the best experience working with Jessica! She came early to find a spot to take pictures outside since ...
it ended up raining. She found a way to take great pictures even with the raining weather! I couldn't imagine anyone else doing a better job. Our pictures turned out great and she made sure to capture every little detail. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is getting pictures done whether it be engagement, wedding, family, etc. Jessica Vidmar Photography is the best!

She was super professional, kind, and prepared at a recent wedding where I was the best man! She's the real deal and took amazing photos!
Jessica was fantastic to work with and kept us very up to date with the status of everything! She met with us in person to discuss our ideal style of photos and clearly laid out al...

Jessica is wonderful! My (now) husband and I are both shy around cameras, but she made us feel at ease. She was friendly, calm, well-organized, and--most importantly--our pictures...

Given my love of art, particularly Monet, I always envisioned my wedding pictures to reflect some of my favorite landscape paintings - the beauty of nature, the blend of colors, an...
d most importantly the feeling of love. This picture (and many more) reflect everything I wanted in our wedding pictures, they feel like individual painting. When I was looking through them, not only did I feel like I was there but I can remember the smell of Spring and the overwhelming amount of love I felt. Anyone can take a picture and throw in some dark filters but Jessica took the time to really make our pictures unique, beautiful, and most importantly artistic. Cannot thank or recommend Jessica enough!

We loved working with Jessica and her second photographer on our wedding day! They are so kind and have a great eye for catching the special moments of the day!
Jessica was, by far, my favorite vendor to work with. From the moment I met Jessica, it felt like she was an old friend. She was personable and caring and genuine. Throughout the w...
hole process, I could rely on her for advice, and I knew she would give me an honest opinion. I turned to her for many things, and she was always helpful. What originally caught my eye about Jessica’s photos was the texture in her pictures, the softness of the technique, and the use of color and light. However, I could not have been more excited about how our photos turned out. Our engagement photos looked like romance movie posters and caught so many of our natural expressions. During the shoot we got even more comfortable with Jessica, and when we walked away, my (now) husband said, “You picked the perfect photographer because her personality is just like you.” This made me smile because it meant he was comfortable with her. This was also a reflection of the time, attention to detail, and general concern for others that Jessica displayed during the shoot.
During the wedding day, we relied on Jessica for everything from location choices, to timeline, to even helping to decide indoor/outdoor ceremony. She was patient and kind through all of this and helped ease my mind. Even when I got tired, hot and cranky, she continued to smile and help me through it all. She had great ideas for photos and we were swept away by all the images she sent us. I could not believe not only the impressive technique, but the quantity, as well as how natural everyone looked. I have a lot of knowledge of photography and technique and it was important that I have a photographer who was comfortable with various styles, but who would still capture the essential important family photos for documentary purposes. I wanted someone who would be artistic, capture candids, and still please our families. Jessica went above and beyond in every expectation. So many friends and family have commented on how beautiful they were and I believe so much of that is a testament to the love and care Jessica puts into her work and the relationships she builds with her clients.
Photography was my most important concern from our wedding day, and Jessica put me at ease from our first meeting. We could not be more in love with the photos she gave us that captured the best day of our lives. I am so incredibly thankful she was our photographer, and I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat.
WOW did we luck out! My husband and I did not want to do the whole "interview around thing" so just by referral (and seeing some facebook photos), we went with Jessica. I had wante...
d someone good with large groups and children. Jessica was SO responsive and asked the most thoughtful questions to make sure we were prepared for everything. When we met at Panera in person, I felt she was more interested in our excitement than just pure logistics. Her website forms she has are so thorough and she comes so prepared I was just amazed. She was kind, creative, patient, and so so sweet. She stayed at our reception so long just in an effort to keep capturing the fun, and she made sure to show us pictures along the way! We are DYING to see her work, which speaks for itself on her blog- but based on day-of experience, which is super important, we HIGHLY RECOMMEND .
Jessica is a great photographer. She is super friendly and has many great ideas to make your photos on your special day great. Though if you have an idea let her know because she i...
s more than willing to do it. For example my spouse and I wanted to have a full family photo on our wedding day and she was more than willing to take time to do it. That is awesome!
Jessica Vidmar is one of the most loving and simultaneously professional individuals I have ever worked with. Photography was the most important factor for me. When we were discuss...
ing our wedding style, my husband and I decided on a mixture of documentary and fine art. We valued the idea of really capturing our family and our personality as a couple. Let me tell you, Jessica did just that. The instant we met Jessica, we were greeted with her gorgeous smile, which perfectly represents her as a person. Our first interview, we both felt at home with her and ended up running over our appointment time by talking about life, goals, family, art, and more. After we felt her personality was a perfect match, we saw her organizational system was ideal as well! She directly stated the logistics of our investment, how the preparation would work, and what the process is. Her survey was incredibly detailed and covered all of our needs. Call Jessica right away!
We ADORED Jessica!! We are so in love with our photos -- from the engagement to the mehndi/rehearsal dinner to the wedding, they are all so stunning and captured our wedding events...
so beautifully. Jessica is the sweetest, so easy to work with, and so very talented!
Jessica is awesome! We won an engagement package from our jeweler and we are so happy (not only because we won something- lol!) but because we were happy to have met Jessica! I wan...
ted half of our pictures to be outside and I even thought I was a little crazy because it was SO COLD. Jessica was ready to go with a smile!!! These pictures ended up being our favorites and I'm so grateful that she made me feel like she thought it was a good idea too :) On another note, we were nervous to take picture because it was our first time getting professional ones done and she made us laugh and feel so comfortable. We without a doubt wanted to have her capture our wedding however she was already booked so she recommended other friend photographers in the area which I thought was nice! :) I 100% recommend Jessica!!!!!
Jessica IS THE BEST!!! We hit it off from the moment we met and my now husband and I knew we had to have her. She was so wonderful to work with. I honestly can’t say enough good ...

sica! She was very prompt through the entire process (before, during and after), she's a perfectionist and just someone I knew I could trust since the day I met her. I love that she gave advice and things that work best from her previous experience. Our pictures turned out so well!!! She even beautifully edited out tiny things in a few photos that only I would notice. She goes above and beyond in her work. LOVED working with Jessica!!!!
Choosing Jessica Vidmar for our photographer was the best decision we made throughout our wedding planning process. When we first met Jessica at our engagement photo session, she w...
as extremely laid back and personable. I was initially somewhat shy about getting our photos taken but after meeting with Jessica, she made it seem like she was one of our close friends and we were just hanging out! It was pouring rain on our wedding day so, unfortunately, we could not do any outdoor photos. That didn't damper the outcome of the photos at all! They all turned our beautiful. Jessica found unique locations around our venue for photos and I received many compliments. I will miss working with Jessica and have already recommended her to a few of my friends for their upcoming life events.
Hiring Jessica was one of the best wedding planning decisions we made! She is not only insanely talented, so is also so easy to work with and truly makes you feel comfortable throu...
ghout the entire day. We have gotten so many compliments and have had multiple engaged friends reach out to us to ask us about our photographer because our photos are honestly that stunning!
JESSICA IS THE BEST!!! Brides stop here and go with her, you will thank me later!!
I highly recommend her to all brides!!! She is so friendly, genuinely cares about her clients, e...
xtremely organized, very professional, and did an exceptional job at making sure we got all the pictures we wanted, and them some!!! When it looked like it was potentially going to rain the day of our wedding - she had already had a list of a few places we could go to for pictures just in case. And if it did rain - she had umbrellas!! When I didn't have the fancy shmancy hanger for the pictures of my gown, she had me covered. She did such a great job capturing all the special moments too. The pictures turned out AMAZING!!! LITERALLY I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT JESSICA and her team!!!!!!!!!!
