Jessie is seriously amazing!! Book her...I promise you will not regret it! Her communication and organization was so encouraging for a type A person like myself. What stood out the most though is how positive she is and how she creates such a fun and easy going atmosphere while taking pictures even if it's freezing (did an engagement session in the middle of winter!) or you have already been taking photos for hours. My now husband does not enjoy getting his photo taken but she got him to smile in all of our photos!! She makes you feel like you are hanging out with your best friend but is so professional and absolutely kills it at her job. Every single one of her photos were stunning and we heard nothing but compliments about her and her photos! Her partner on the day of our wedding matched her vibe perfectly and helped set the tone for a wonderful night. If you want someone you can trust to do an amazing job while having a great time, Jessie is your girl! I will be calling her up for ANY photos I need in the future.
Jessie is amazing!!! She worked very early on with my husband and I explaining the important things in photography to consider during a wedding and building the schedule for our big day, even before we had signed any agreement. Her professionalism made her very trust worthy, but behind the camera she is also very fun and energetic.
During our engagement session and during the wedding, she directed some poses with ease and clear understanding, which allowed us to get a vast variety of photos back with differing positions and options. She loves having fun behind the camera and will go with the flow if you have any requests or ideas. She allows you to feel comfortable in your own skin, which shows beautifully on the pictures.
On the day of, she made sure we had photographs with all the family I had chosen ahead of time and made our schedule go quite smoothly. She was able to handle anything that came her way.
My husband said it best in his google review:
I'm an extremely sceptical person and trust no one, especially if they'll be in charge of something important to me. So when planning my wedding I was very nervous of hiring anyone that wasn't family. When my fiance told me we'd be meeting with a photographer, I wasn't thrilled and assumed it would be a waste of time. I met Jessie with my gaurd up big time, but she quickly managed to break through and feel like and old friend. Rapidly through the process of being our photographer she's become a good friend of ours, photo sessions felt personal and everything came out stunning. Any challenges we ran into Jessie not only managed to pull off, but always ended up way better than we expected. I'm so glad we met her and that we now have a quirky awesome friend in our lives who also happened to capture some of the best moments of my Wife and I's new life together." Thanks Jessie!!
Jessie was amazing! She was very professional, did a great job, and it felt like we were working with a friend. The only downside was the price.
Jessie was outstanding and helped make our wedding day SO perfect. From the minute we sat down with her - a full 13 months before our wedding - and she pulled out her notebook and informed us of the sunset time for our wedding day, we knew she was who we wanted to shoot our wedding. She was organized, responsive, and totally accommodating to us. On wedding day we had a blast shooting with her and she kept our wedding party on-time (early! actually) for everything without ever feeling like we were rushing along to other things. Her assistant for the day was so awesome too (she shot the groomsmen before hand and they all commented on how fun she was!). After the ceremony, taking family photos went like clockwork and it was such an easy process, which isn't always the case (I can attest to this having been in a few weddings myself). During the reception I didn't even notice her unless it was needed (which was crazy because I saw photos the next day and she was on the dance floor, getting shots from everywhere!). Before she left, she went out of her way to ask not only me and my groom if we wanted more pictures, but she also asked my mother and mother-in-law, which was so thoughtful of her (they both raved about it the next day). Jessie was an excellent, SUPER organized, photographer and we also had so much fun hanging out with her all day, it was a blast. I would absolutely recommend her to other couples looking for a great photographer!!!
Jessie was absolutely AMAZING. My husband and I would often say that it felt like our photographer was our best friend. She is relational, kind, and incredibly talented at what she does. I always felt comfortable in front of the camera, and she knew exactly how to position each shot she captured. In addition, she was the most organized and prepared vendor we worked with. She met with us several months out to ensure everything was ready, and she gave us a detailed list and timeframe to help plan the photo schedule. I was so thankful for her wedding expertise and experience. Jessie's image quality is beyond compare - I searched hundreds of photographers, and her classic, crisp photos stood out among them all. Overall, the entire experience with Schu's Shoots was incredible. I would HIGHLY recommend her.
We were lucky enough to get to work with Jessie at our wedding. She was fun to be around, while also being very supportive and professional. Jessie captured the spirit of our wedding/ reception, guests, and ourselves in some truly beautiful photographs that we will cherish forever!
Jessie did an amazing job starting from the engagement pictures ending with our beautiful wedding album. Jessie knows weddings and was able to capture all of our special moments. The first thing that drew me to Jessie was her personality as she was friendly and outgoing, this was something that kept me the bride calm during the wedding. Jessie services were amazing and she is a very hard worker. I remember standing in my wedding dress watching Jessie as she looked around to assure that she was capturing the best light and view for our special moments. We had our wedding pictures in a very timely manner. All of our guest that have see our wedding pictures can't say enough good things. The pictures look amazing in our new home as husband and wife. Jessie 5 stars all the the way :)
Planning a wedding is a very hectic time. The caterer will tell you that the food at your wedding is the most important thing, because that’s what your guests will remember. The baker will tell you the cake is the most important because your guests will remember it. In my opinion, the photographer should always be the most important vendor you pick; you will end up so busy on your wedding day, your photographer will capture things and people you didn’t even see and these images will then become priceless and last a lifetime. Schu Shoot’s was able to accomplish this for us this past May. Jessie captured pictures that had never in the history of our church been allowed, and words will never be able to express our gratitude towards Jessie for these once in a lifetime images.
From the first time I emailed Jessie, I knew she was the photographer for my wedding. She was very genuine and completely honest and up front when I questioned the high prices that photographers charge for weddings. Throughout the entire planning process, Jessie made the photography the easiest part, even when my future husband applied the pressure and said everything else was going wrong, and she had to get it 100% right! From the multiple meetings we had to my bridal portraits on Easter Sunday, to our wedding, Jessie always had a smile on her face and reassured us everything would be perfect and boy did she deliver! We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer, the only problem was which pictures to order, when I loved them all!
Jessie was the epitome of a professional. I was a maid of honor for a wedding she shot and her energy and creative ideas were never lacking. She helped the party to feel comfortable and the bride and groom were so in love she was not intrusive to their day, but instead a witness to it and captured it beautifully and naturally.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone who is getting married, she truly seems to have a gift for capturing the beauty of a wedding day.
If I was only allowed to give one piece of advice to a fellow bride it would be this: Choose a photographer you love. And I am SOO happy I did just that. Jessie is very professional and so much fun. She was very organized with making a plan for our wedding day and put my mind at ease. She is very experienced so if I had a question about something she can share what she has seen work at past weddings. Jessie traveled to be at my wedding because I could not have any other photographer capturing the most important day of my life... I wanted to be sure that I would have all of my special moments captured to relive again and again and Jessie did just that. If you are searching for the perfect photographer, please just stop right now and book Schu's Shoots. I would recommend her again and again!
I could not have picked a better person to photograph our wedding. Schus Shoots were amazing from my bridal portraits to the day of my wedding. I would highly recommend her to any bride! Thank you so much for making my special day fun and stress free!
I found Jessie online a few months before my wedding, and instantly knew she would be the photographer for my wedding. She had just moved into the area, and we were her first clients. We were offered an engagement session at no charge, and I am so glad we did. Jessie has a great, fun, young style that was exactly what I hoped for in my photographer. She has a great eye for shots, especially in different settings.
For our engagement session it was about a week before we could see our proofs online, and prints were very reasonably priced. They took about two weeks to come.
I am still waiting on my wedding proofs, and I know they will be amazing!
