JVK Photography

Jessica was easy to communicate with … always responded quickly. She was on time and showed reliability when confirming details etc. She was extremely friendly and professional. She captured beautiful photos of our wedding/reception and we could not be happier with the results.

Jessica was so great to work with. I absolutely am in love with all my photos and the sweet moments she caught so that we can cherish them forever. She was quick to get all the photos back! I highly recommend her for your wedding or engagement photos!

Jessica is very helpful and professional. We hired her to photograph our intimate ceremony. Before the event, she is happy to answer any questions you have. She is very responsive! We had changes to our plan for the day and she happily worked with those changes. She captured the day beautifully and made the process enjoyable. Our family is not used to being behind a camera, but she was able to make us all look great! She provided a preview within 24 hours and then sent the entire portfolio in a little over a week. I highly recommend her to anyone I know and I would happily use her again for any future photography needs!

Jessica was absolutely amazing for our wedding day!! She was communicative before, during, and after the date. She came prepared and made our day so smooth with her flexibility and professionalism. Not to mention she took the most gorgeous photos I could have ever imagined! Highly Recommend!

Jessica exceeded expectations with her remarkable work on our engagement photos. Her keen eye for capturing genuine moments and attention to detail resulted in stunning, emotion-filled images. Her talent has truly added a timeless touch to our special memories. Highly recommended her for anyone seeking exceptional photography. Thank you Jessica.

Jessica was awesome to work with. Very flexible and professional. She takes great pictures!

Jessica was an amazing photographer! She made us feel so comfortable and helped us with posing for our engagement shoot. The photos turned out so great, I’m obsessed with them!

JVK Photography exceeded our expectations. Jessica was great to work with in advance and on the wedding day. She seamlessly moved about the ceremony and reception and captured our day beautifully. We absolutely love the photographs. The sneak peek was delivered within a day and the entire project was delivered much sooner than expected. We’re going to have a hard time choosing which photos to use for an album.

Jessica was fantastic! She was quick to reply and help plan out the day before hand. On the wedding day, Jessica was so professional and genuinely caring about my family and me. Every photo she ensured the lighting was good, each family member had photos taken and always offered me water when she could tell it was getting a bit hot!! My family looks forward to using her for all our futures weddings and parties.

Jessica was punctual, open to any requests for additional pictures and captured our special day beautifully! Everyone who has seen our wedding pictures has commented on how nice they are and the good job of the photographer.

My husband and I are so pleased with our photos that Jessica took. She was very patient with the fact that my husband hates pictures and we have a toddler that hates them as well! Our wedding session was smooth and effortless and our pictures are absolutely beautiful.

Love love love my engagement photos. She was fast, professional and budget friendly. She was so accommodating on location and timing. Would book her again.

My husband and I got married June 10th, 2023, on Siesta Key. We used a wedding company for our ceremony, that included photography with the package. We were a little hesitant to use the photographer provided, as our wedding photos were the one thing we really cared about. Especially since this would most likely be the last event with all of our family together. However, we currently do not live in Florida, and trusted the company's recommendation. After meeting Jessica, and working with her, she exceeded my expectations. We chose to have a smaller wedding with only our close friends and family. Because of this I didn't feel like a bride, or that I had gotten the same experience as others. After seeing my photos, I felt like a real bride, like I hadn't missed out on anything. I LOVE my photos. She captured everything I wanted and more! My husband and I will cherish them for the rest of our lives. Now that we are moving to Florida, I even hope to have Jessica capture our future life events.

Jessica was an amazing photographer for our adventure elopement at Lake Louisa state park. Photos turned out amazing and she was very nice, professional and punctual. Highly recommend!

I booked Jessica about 2 months out from when I needed photos. My sister was unable to attend my wedding, and I wanted to capture some of the special moments that were missed. Jessica was able to meet the day I needed and suggested a wonderful location for pictures. She was great to work with before, during, and after. The pictures are beautiful! My wedding day finally feels closer to being complete. As far as this review, it would not allow me to select the proper date. Photos were taken on April 30th, 2023.

We went with JVK for our engagement sessions and could not be happier! The pictures came out perfect and we got them back super quick. Jessica was super helpful and flexible throughout the entire process and responds super quickly :)

JVK Photography was wonderful to work with! We called Jessica to help us with an intimate elopement civil ceremony that we wanted to have at the local historic courthouse. She was prompt with communications and even helped us to navigate closures due to the holiday, which we were not aware of. Jessica was on time even though we were late to our wedding (smile) and was flexible with pics inside of the courthouse, the main building, and in the beautiful garden outside the courthouse. Jessica provides a "sneak peek" to a few of the photos while she continued her review & editing of the rest of the gallery. This came the day after the wedding and then the full gallery of photos came just 5 days later! Wow. Her professional photos turned out extremely well and we couldn't be happier with the way that she helped to capture our special day. We highly recommend her!

Great communication and took lots of shots during the event! Affordable and responsive!

My husband and I renewed our vows at the Beach House in Anna Maria Island and thanks to Jessica, we have memories for a lifetime. Jessica was absolutely amazing in capturing essential moments. The final product was more than anything I could have asked for! From the breath taking sunset shots to the photos with our children. All in all, we are elated to have chosen JVK and thanks to Jessica it is truly an unforgettable moment. thanks again!

Jessica was really awesome! She suggested a great location that really spoke to who we are as a couple and took beautiful pictures. We got a preview a day after the photo shoot and the whole gallery within the week! The pictures were so elegant and wonderfully edited that we’re going to have a hard time choosing which ones to use for the save the dates! With the price, you can’t beat the combination. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for photos for any occasion!

We loved our wedding pictures! Less than 2 weeks from our wedding and we already have our full gallery! The images are beautiful and Jessica was so easy to work with!

JVK photography was perfect for my engagement. She was willing to work with my time and traveled a bit to make sure we could hold onto our memories for years to come.

My fiancé and I did an engagement session with Jessica mid-January 2023 in downtown Winter Garden. From beginning to end, Jessica was impressively professional and detail-oriented. She communicated with us consistently throughout the process, offering suggestions when we weren't sure where to start and responding/updating us quickly. I appreciated her emphasis on getting the best shot, whether it was listening to our requests for backgrounds, changing angles for the best lighting, moving us around to make us look our best, waiting for passersby to clear the area to create a more intimate moment, or any of many things she did so well. I'm so happy with how quickly and how well all of the photos turned out, and I would gladly recommend her to friends and family for any moments they want captured on camera.

I highly recommend Jessica Hamby as a wedding photographer! She was very professional, timely, and friendly. She did a fabulous job photographing the wedding, even with the large wedding party and family. While taking photos, she had an amazing talent for noticing small details that needed to be corrected for the perfect photo. We had multiple guests and the wedding planner tell us that we had a great photographer with an eye for details. We were so impressed with the beautiful photos and are so thankful for Jessica Hamby! You won’t be disappointed!

She was amazing! My fiance hired her to take candid photos of our engagement and they came out so well! (not to mention I didn't know she was there to capture the moment so it was a true surprise!) She returned our photos to us quickly with tons of options!

Jessica was recommended to my wife Kelly and me by Bonnie Sanchez, our wedding coordinator. What an excellent choice. Jessica was incredibly professional and also very artistic with her photographic approach. The photos are amazing as well as how amazing it was to work with Jessica. I highly recommend her services.

Jessica was amazing!! She photographed our wedding and we loved the photos. She paid attention to what we wanted for photos and made sure to get all our special events for the night. She was on time and ready to go through the whole evening and was super accommodating to our last minute decision to have a first look! We were worried about lighting with having an inside ceremony but everything turned out beautifully and outside Jessica did a great job to make sure to work around the setting sun. We had our sneak peek provided to us by the time we made it to the hotel from the venue that same night and we had the full album faster than we thought!

Thank you Jessica for being apart of our beautiful engagement shoot! She was so laid back and also professional and made me feel like a princess! So excited for our wedding day! Thank you again😊

Jessica is so sweet and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera! Our photos were amazing. I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer

Jessica, you are an incredible photographer! Thank you for making my proposal so special. The pictures turned out better than I could ever imagine. Magazine worthy!!! If you were planning on getting a photographer for any event 10/10 would recommend Jessica.

Jessica was wonderful to work with and most definitely provided us with stunning photos capturing our day. She was on time, great with communication and easy to work with from afar! We took a gamble and won with her. We are forever grateful!

We found Jessica on The Knot to be our wedding photographer, and couldn’t have asked for anyone better! She was so patient with us during all of our big family shots (including kids), and captured some amazing memories from our big day! It was a quick turnaround for a sneak peek gallery, followed soon after by the full gallery of all of the beautiful moments she captured. Would definitely recommend JVK for your next event!!

I used Jessica for my proposal photoshoot. She was so wonderful from start to finish! Very responsive any time of day. She was early and coordinated with my picnic service to capture my secret proposal! Our proposal will be so memorable with these photos. Thank you for the great work and caring to make it a success! Highly recommend , she made the process easy and stress free. Now the hard part, picking from the 166 wonderful photos! A good problem to have.

JVK photography took beautiful wedding photos for my big day. Her communication was always prompt and she returned my images extremely quickly. I’m so grateful to have had her for my big day!

Jessica went above and beyond to make our day special. She captured all the great moments from our big day. We would highly recommend her for your wedding!

Jessica was amazing! She was so understanding when we had to take some family pictures earlier than anticipated AND in a different spot than planned due to some mobility issues. Although we knew we had a time limit on the sunset she never made us feel rushed and made sure to include any and everyone we wanted. The detail pictures she took are better than I could have even imagined. We got a sneak peek so quick! And the final pictures were amazing and there were so many of them! I cannot wait to have these printed and cherish them forever.

We had the best experience with Jessica for our 2022 wedding. She always goes above and beyond to make sure everyone is happy and she gets the best shot. Jessica made sure to give us a sneak peak of our photos the day after the wedding!

Jessica has always been a pleasure to work with and have done our photos, she is very friendly and super out going! I’m so blessed to not only have amazing photos by such a great photographer but that the knot has brought us together as friends, and someone we will forever reach out to when we are in the Sarasota area! So thankful for her and our friendship!

Jessica provided an exceptional experience for our small family wedding venue on the beach! I absolutely loved every photo and feel like I've made a friend for life. I highly recommend Jessica! The photography packages are very reasonable. Thank you Jessica! Be well & Hugs, The Geraci's

We hired Jessica Kurant, JVK Photography, for our destination wedding in Bradenton Beach, Fl. based on a recommendation from our reception vendor. She was prompt, reasonable and easy to work with. She is very creative and did a wonderful job on our photographs. We are so happy with the lasting memories provided by Jessica. Highly recommend!

Jessica is wonderful! She’s done our maternity and engagement photos now and will always go back to her for special occasions! She doesn’t waste any time and really makes the most out of your hour. She gives you tons of pictures in a timely matter. I think her prices are very reasonable, especially given how many great pictures you get back. Jessica is very professional & you can tell she really enjoys what she does!

Jessica, responded immediately. Was very easy to talk too & was so sweet. She made it so fun. The pictures turned out beautiful.

My boyfriend (fiancé now!!!) and I booked a couples photo shoot with JVK while we were on vacation and Jess was fantastic! She worked with us and the weather during hurricane Elsa to get our shoot in and turns out she knew all along that is was actually a proposal shoot! She captured the most special moments that we will cherish forever. The lighting was perfect, the timing was perfect, the angles were perfect. She is punctual, very very sweet, and she had our sneak peek pictures back to us within a couple of hours and the rest of them by the end of the week! I 10/10 recommend booking with JVK for all of your photography needs! Thank you so much Jess!

I would absolutely recommend JVK Photography to anyone looking for a fantastic photographer! Jessica photographed my husband and my private beachside wedding ceremony just last month, and she was a pleasure to work with. She is incredibly talented, very sweet, and she was flexible when we had to delay our wedding from 2020. She was so helpful in giving us direction on what looked nice in terms of poses and best angles for lighting (it was very bright on the beach that day). When we received our photos, we were absolutely ecstatic! We could not get over how stunning the photos were - every photo looked so natural (none of our poses came off looking forced or awkward - she knew exactly what looked perfect!), the backdrop in every photo was absolutely gorgeous, and we just could not be happier with our entire experience. In fact, we were so happy that we have already set up a future photo session with JVK Photography for family photos this fall. 100% recommend, and thank you so much, JVK!! :-)

While looking online for photographers in the Sarasota area for an upcoming vacation family photo shoot/surprise engagement, I found JVK Photography and was not disappointed! Jessica was helpful throughout the entire setup process and was quick to respond to any questions/emails that I sent her way. She made the entire process from beginning to end so seamless and stress free. Jessica captured our moment perfectly and we couldn’t be happier with how our photos turned out!

Jessica was amazing and our pictures turned out incredible!! My fiancé and I had never taken professional photos together before and were both a little nervous about knowing how to pose and what to do. Jessica was so sweet and eased our nerves and helped us pose so that our pictures turned out super natural and beautiful. Her turn around time was super quick and we were so impressed with our photos! Highly recommend Jessica!!

JVK Photography was great and they took great pictures. I would recommend them to other people.

Jessica was so professional and easy to work with! She suggested great poses and our pictures turned out wonderful. She is very reasonably priced. She did an awesome job on our engagement photos while we were on vacation in Florida!

Jessica did an absolute BEAUTIFUL job on our wedding photos. I am so highly impressed! She was very personable & kind. She directed us through the whole thing & had great ideas. She definitely knows her way around a camera & made she the lighting was perfect for every angle! Her pricing is perfect! We had a very small & very quickly planned elopement & she accommodated us well! Any ideas I had, she brought to life! She couldn’t have given us or our families a better gift. After looking at our album they felt as if they were all there as well! Thank you so very much Jessica! I will forever recommend you & I can not wait for family pictures in the near future! 💛

Jessica was amazing! She checked in with us multiple times before the wedding to see what pictures we wanted. She was sure to get everything I asked for and more. We got so many great pictures. She also gave us a huge album to choose from! I would highly recommend.

Julie G. Jessica was outstanding! She was always readily available to answer any questions I had and she was completely professional the entire time. In the area, there are so many photographers who charge and arm and a leg and when you’re paying for a wedding on a budget, the last thing you want to do is pay $3,000! Her prices were beyond reasonable! She took gorgeous pictures and had enough for us to choose from! She was the best! Thank you, Jessica

Jessica was wonderful to work with. She was patient, kind and great at organizing people. Our allotted time with Jessica was an hour. She offered to stay later so that we could catch the sunset perfectly. Her photos are clear, crisp and beautiful. I cannot wait to book another session with her.

So when I decided to hire a photographer it was a week before I planned on proposing... Which in my opinion, is pretty last minute! However, Jessica was able to take care of me with all my short notice and the proposal and pictures turned out beautifully! I know how we all want proposals and weddings to be PERFECT and you only get one shot at it, so you obviously want to be confident in your photographer to capture the special moment. Jessica was so nice and accommodating and I would definitely highly recommend her as a photographer to anyone that's looking! 👍😁👌

LOVED Jessica! She was so wonderful from the time we first made contact to now. She asked all the right questions and was quick to get back with any questions I had. Jessica arrived early to the venue and was ready to go right away. She moved around during the ceremony to make sure she got all different angles. After she did such a wonderful job taking photos of me, my husband, and our families. Within 24 hours she had a sneak peek ready for us. The lightning in the pics was AMAZING and everything we wanted with a sunset beach ceremony. Our entire gallery was back to us within a week with exact instructions on how to access and download them. Jessica is so kind and wonderful I couldn’t imagine our perfect wedding day without her photo skills. I truly recommend her to anyone for their special day. You will not be disappointed!

Jessica captured such beautiful pictures despite the cold on our beach wedding day! We’re so excited and pleased with the outcome <3

Jessica was amazing. My fiancé hired her for a surprise proposal shoot. She went above and beyond to help plan everything with him. It rained on the the day and the pictures still came out great. We got some pictures back the same night!I would recommend her to everyone!!!

Jessica was nothing but professional and personable right from the get go! From perfectly capturing our love and excitement for one another at our engagement shoot, to catching each small detail at our wedding! It was so easy to be ourselves around her and her enthusiasm is absolutely infectious. We can’t thank her enough for the down right fantastic job she did. So grateful to be able to look at our pictures and be instantly brought back to our amazingly special day! Her name is the first one out of our mouths when we are asked about a recommendation for a wedding photographer.

Punctual , communication, attention to detail and turn around time on photos was beyond fabulous!! Highly recommend for those that want high quality images that won’t break the bank !!

Had the best engagement pictures taken on the beach, Jessica was very professional, sweet and made sure that we were all safe during the photo shoot with covid going on!

Jessica was amazing! Very professional, friendly and our pictures turned out amazing! Our wedding was on Anna Maria Island and the entire experience was wonderful. Would definitely recommend!

Very accommodating and patient with all the pictures we wanted and suggested her own as well. She did a phenomenal job! She knew exactly what moments to capture during the ceremony and noticed the small details.

I highly recommend Jessica! She photographed our wedding and was so easy to work with, even when we had to change our wedding date due to COVID. We got the pictures back so quickly and the pictures turned out absolutely amazing!!

The pictures turned out so good! Also, she was very flexible and willing to work with us due to the fact that our shoot kept getting rained out!

Jessica did an absolutely amazing job capturing our engagement. We are thrilled with the incredible work that she did. She is a true talent. She helped make our time in Sarasota a truly unforgettable experience. We feel very fortunate to have had her as our photographer. 5 stars. Without a doubt.

Jessica was a life saver for our proposal photos. We weren’t from the area so I had no idea where to plan a proposal in Sarasota, but I knew the time was right. Jessica was able to provide a ton of insight into the local area about where to plan to try to pop the question. Along with providing the best ideas she captured our moment wonderfully and could not recommend her more for any photography needs in the Sarasota area. Thank you again Jessica!

Jessica is very sweet and professional. She takes her time to capture all the images you would want and ask for as well as creating some of her own thoughts and ideas. She is very reasonable as well as very responsive. Highly recommend her.

Jessica was amazing! We will cherish her beautiful pictures of our surprise proposal forever!

Absolutely love our photos from Jessica, she’s so sweet and definitely made getting our photos taken a much more comfortable experience! Will definitely want to work with her again for any future photo ops. Highly recommend.

Jessica was so amazing to work with from start to finish. She was friendly, professional and flexible to all of our requests for our wedding photos. We were blown away to receive beautiful sneak peek photos the same night as our wedding. We also received our entire wedding gallery in only one week. I have not stopped looking at our photos since the moment we received them. They are all so beautiful, far beyond anything I could have dreamed for my wedding pictures. We will always treasure these gorgeous memories Jessica was able to capture. I would highly recommend booking her for your next event!

I love my pictures! I got them back in 5 days, it was great!

Jessica is simply amazing. I contacted her about doing a very last minute engagement session while we were visiting Florida from Michigan. She was very prompt in responding and coordinating with her was super easy. During our photos the beach was super busy and she wasn't frustrated at all. She simply worked around everything. She did an amazing job making us feel comfortable and at ease with the whole process. Jessica is very sweet and clearly knows what she is doing. She provided us with a sneak peek in a short period of time and we received our entire gallery super quick!! Our pictures are amazing. We will be using her again to take family pictures in the future!!

We booked JVK photography for our engagement shoot while we were in the Sarasota area. She was easy to contact, and prompt to our appointment. She gave us a beautiful sneak peek within 24 hours and turned the rest around so quickly. They came out BEAUTIFUL, and now we are having a hard time to pick for our save the dates!! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer for any occasion.

I cannot say enough good things about Jessica/JVK Photography. Jessica was present, involved, and almost as excited about our wedding pictures, as we were. Jessica is not only very talented, but she also really cares about us as her clients and making our day as special as possible. We met a couple times prior to the wedding so that Jessica could make sure that we were getting all of the wedding events and moments captured like we envisioned and to make sure that she knew exactly what we wanted. She took the time prior to the wedding to scope out the venue and all the possible outside shots that would add to the variety of moments. She was able to totally capture our excitement and the love we feel for one another. The turn around time for our pictures was really fast Too! :) I am really happy with our pictures and the wonderful video montage that we received. I would definitely recommend her services to anyone, and would definitely use her for any future photography needs.

Jessica did an extraordinary job! Our wedding day was beautiful and the photographs show how magical our wedding day was! She is truly a gem and very talented, we will forever cherish our photos for a lifetime.

Jessica was incredible through the entire process. She responded quickly to my emails and was on time for the shoot. She was very personable and was a pleasure to work with. When we ran out of sunset she even offered to us to come back the next day if we wanted to for more photos. She was amazing. I wish I could add photos to this review so you could see the beautiful work she did at our wedding. She got our photos back as well In a quick manner and we also received sneak peaks:) I would recommend her 100x. You won’t go wrong If you choose Jessica!!

The pictures Jessica took captured the most magical moments in our lives. Without any direction from us she knew what poses would be best. The emotions pour out our photographs. We picked a beach wedding and our pictures are just breathtaking. She captured our ceremony without us even knowing she was there! Couldn’t be happier.

Jessica is absolutely hands down a fabulous photographer! We booked our engagement session with her before going on vacation in Longboat Key and she was very quick to respond and communicate and get us booked before even meeting her! She had so many ideas for poses and spots for good pictures that it made the whole experience so smooth! I haven’t even mentioned when it started to rain! Jessica worked so hard to get as many pictures and poses of my fiancé and I before the rain came and while it was sprinkling and after looking at the shots she got, I couldn’t be happier! Because of the rain, we had to stop but instead of just ending the session early, she met up with us again later in the week to take even more beautiful pictures and added in some AMAZING family photos! I’ll definitely be using her again even if it’s just for family photos! And if we plan to get married in the Siesta Key area she will definitely be my first choice!! If you want an amazing photographer that is extremely dedicated to capturing you and your fiancé in the best way possible, Jessica is your girl!

HIGHLY recommend this photographer. Jessica was so sweet and creative during my fiancé and I’s Engagement photo session on the beach. She made us feel comfortable so that we could be ourselves and the pictures really exceeded our expectations and turned out perfect! I’m so thankful that we chose her to be our photographer!

I hired Jessica for engagement photos and she was wonderful. We had a great experience and we got amazing shots. Thanks Jessica!

Jessica was an amazing photographer and has some serious skills! We told her the type of feel we were going for and she channeled that vibe into our photos! So talented, and as a local from Sarasota she knows the BEST spots for the photos of your dreams. We'll charish these pictures forever. If you want an experienced, talented, savvy photographer, then Jessica is the one.

Highly recommend Jessica!! She is so sweet, accommodating, personable, and just overall wonderful! She was a great communicator from the moment we booked her, to the moment she sent us our album (which was less than a week!!!) so quick to get us our finished photos and such beautiful work!!!

We could not be more pleased with Jessica as our photographer for our wedding. The photos were even better than we could have imagined. She captured so many special moments in our ceremony. She spent extra time with us past the time she was paid to be at our reception to capture sunset photos. This shows a true passion for what she does and her willingness to make her customers happy. The photos were ready only a week after our wedding and she even spent extra time making a beautiful video collage of all of our very best photos.

Jessica is a great photographer. She is punctual, professional, and easy to work with. She knows all the best locations and times of day for the best lighting at each.

Jessica was AMAZING. My girlfriend (now fiancé) and I were in Florida for a month and I wanted to surprise her with a beach sunset proposal. Jessica was a top rated pro which instantly drew my eye, she had excellent reviews and as soon as I saw her portfolio and previous work with couples, I knew I had to book with her. She worked with me the whole week leading up to the proposal, helping me plan from minor details such as timing to things like the best location etc. She was detail oriented, flexible, and extremely responsive to all my requests and inquiries. She was knowledgable of the area as well which was huge as I’m from out of town. The pictures turned out PHENOMENALLY. She was able to capture everything I wanted and more. I am so glad we booked with her and I 100% would book her again. I’m so thankful to have such a special moment captured for a lifetime in such a beautiful way. She has such an amazing eye for photography and her pictures speak for themselves. I would 100% recommend her to anyone who asked. Thank you Jessica!

Jessica is an amazing photographer. She captured my beautiful engagement perfectly and I couldn’t be any happier with the photos. I’m the type of person who hates seeing myself in pictures, and I cried when I saw them because I can’t even decide which one is my favorite. I have so many favorites. I can’t thank you enough. I am so happy and appreciative!

Jessica was an amazing photographer! We couldn’t have asked for better engagement photos! They are beautiful!!! I highly recommend her! Thank you!!

Attentive to details and a pleasure to work with. Our pictures turned out amazing!
