- Jess HumphreyCEO and FounderHi there! I’m Jess - Sarasota native, wedding videographer, and proud cat mom to five fur-babies. When I’m not capturing love stories, you’ll find me nose-deep in a good book, catching a good sunset, or spending quality time with my loved ones. I’m all about the real moments - the happy tears, the quiet glances, the full-on belly laughs. If you’re looking for someone to hype you up, calm your nerves, and make sure your wedding video feels like you - I’ve got you.
- Assistant2nd Shooter and HelperIf extra angles to help capture your big day is something you desire, then Jess has assistants who are able to join! Although Jess is able to capture everything seamlessly as a solo team - a 2nd shooter ensures that every little detail is captured. Please let Jess know that you're wanting this additional member upon inquiry so she can quote accordingly!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Jess and her team at Monar Media for our wedding day, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better videographer experience. From the m...
oment they arrived, Jess and her team were incredibly professional, attentive, and so easy to work with.
They captured every special moment without ever feeling intrusive—somehow being everywhere they needed to be without us even noticing. Jess had a calm, confident presence that helped keep the day flowing smoothly, and it was clear how passionate she is about her work.
If you’re looking for a team that will not only deliver beautiful work but also enhance your overall experience, we can’t recommend Monar Media enough. Thank you, Jess, for everything—you helped make our day unforgettable!

Hiring Jess from Monar Media was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From start to finish, she was professional, thoughtful, and an absolute joy to work with.
Jess ...
is so sweet and made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. She brought a calming presence, and her warmth made it feel like we were being filmed by a friend who genuinely cared.
Jess and her assistant, Antonio, were incredibly professional on the day of the wedding. They were organized, respectful, and worked seamlessly in the background — capturing every important moment without ever feeling intrusive. It was clear they came prepared and with a plan, which helped everything run smoothly.
Communication with Jess was amazing from the very beginning. She was always responsive, asked thoughtful questions, and really took the time to understand our vision. Before the wedding, Jess asked what parts of the day we wanted to highlight — and she made sure to include every one of those moments in the final video.
When we watched the video, we were blown away. Jess didn’t just capture the big, obvious moments — she noticed and included all the little details that meant the world to us. The final video felt so personal and customized to us — like it was made with our story in mind, not just another wedding video. Her storytelling is so intentional and heartfelt; it felt like reliving the day all over again.
We cannot recommend Monar Media enough. Jess has a true gift for capturing love stories in a way that feels genuine and beautiful. We’ll treasure this video forever.
Thank you so much, Jess (and Antonio)!
