Jess is a long time friend of mine, who I actually met and became friends with while planning my first wedding. She became a photographer a few years after and has taken beautiful ...
pics of my kids as they were growing up. Over the years, I had seen the weddings Jessica had captured and knew I had to have her shoot ours (thank goodness she had our date open)! When she arrived promptly to our day, I sighed a breath of relief knowing we were in good hands. Jessica did an amazing job with our wedding party and family and getting our shot list completed all while making it fun and easy. Our wedding photos are stunning and she really captured our style, personalities and the vibe of our day. Couldn’t be happier with the memories we will have for a lifetime.
Jess was an amazing photographer for our wedding reception! She was super friendly and accommodating and got all the shots we wanted. The pictures turned out fantastic and she is t...

nted! She knows how to handle a large bridal party to take photos efficiently so we could enjoy the day, no stress over the photography. The photos are so beautiful and timeless! She captured the sweet candid moments as well as beautiful portraits, creating such beautiful variety to my wedding album. Jessica was the best choice I made in wedding planning! I can’t recommend her enough!
Jessica captured us from 8am getting make-up and hair done, all the way through to the first dances. She was very organized and really understood the process we wanted for our pict...
ures. She was especially helpful in posing us and finding great spots to snap some great pics, as we were not too familiar with taking couples pictures, especially outside. Jessica provided us with beautifully edited photos in only a few short weeks and truly captured the perfect moments of the best day of our lives.
Jessica is an awesome photographer! Her pictures are beautiful and she truly made our wedding and engagement photos as low stress as possible. She gave us great advice on looking/d...
ressing/posing our best and wasn’t constantly trying to upsell us the way some folks can. We’re so happy to have Jessica’s beautiful photos to commemorate that special time in our lives and we’d recommend her enthusiastically. And she is as nice as she is talented!
We had a wonderful experience with JM photography! Jessica was so easy and fun to work with. She was organized and helped our wedding day stay on schedule with pictures with a larg...
e wedding party. She was quick to respond to all communication. We loved our experience with our wedding so much we traveled 4 hours for her to do our maternity photos!! I highly recommend JM photography!
I cannot say enough good things about Jessica. We met her back in 2011 when we got pregnant with our first child. We booked a maternity/newborn shoot. We were pretty young at the t...
ime and she made us feel so comfortable. We fell in LOVE with the photos! A few years later we had our second child, so of course we HAD to have Jessica again. Her work is just so beautiful.
When we had gotten engaged I KNEW she was the one that I wanted to capture our special day. She’s captured all of our special moments from the very beginning of our journey & I wouldn’t have had it any other way. From the maternity, newborns, family, engagement, boudoir, & wedding shoots she’s captured ALL of our life’s biggest milestones & has done it so beautifully.
Every stage of my life, from maternity, bride, to boudoir she has ALWAYS made me feel so beautiful. Not only is her work amazing, so is she! So happy we’ve chosen her to capture all of our life’s biggest milestones.
I’d recommend Jessica over & over again! She’ll capture a lifetime of memories in all of your photos.
Jessica does excellent work. I found her via my venue's suggested vendor list. I was not required to choose from their list but given the darker lighting in part of the venue, I pr...
eferred someone who was familiar with shooting the space. I looked at all their suggested photographers and JM Photography caught my eye with her classic natural, light, airy, photos. She did a wonderful job with our engagement photos. My husband has a tendency to have his eyes closed in photos but she managed to get many with them open and him smiling. Our wedding photos were also lovely despite the first snow of the year surprising us, we got some wonderful outdoor shots and you could never tell how cold people were when looking at the photos. I've received many compliments on how amazing the photos turned out. People from both our families and our friends commented on how good our photographer was.
I also did a boudoir shoot with her! This was expensive, but I included it as a wedding expense/in my wedding budget. I HIGHLY recommend doing one. I loved that Jessica has a beautiful studio and that she provided hair and makeup (with the package I got). I felt amazing. The book that she sends is not a typical photobook that you might get from shutterfly, it is high quality, thick pages, quality binding, it feels so fancy.
We are so thankful that JM Photography shot our wedding! Jessica is so personable and easy to work with. She helped ease our stress right off the bat as she gave her professional i...
nput and knowledge as we worked to plan how and when photos would take place on our wedding day. She worked well with our videographer and made us feel so comfortable too! Her photos are stunning and she even captured photos based off of our own “vision” or ideas of photos that we were wanting. We loved having her be a part of our special day!
Jessica was wonderful to work with! Planning a wedding during Covid is not easy. But Jessica was so kind, flexible and positive during the whole process! We loved our engagement ph...
otos and can’t stop looking at our wedding day photos!! Jessica is so talented and truly loves what she does!! I would recommend Jessica to all my family and friends! THANK YOU!!
Jessica was recommended to me by another photographer, and I'm so glad I chose her. For the quality of the photos, she was worth every dollar I paid and more. Jessica and her seco...
nd photographer were so amazing on my wedding day. My husband hates getting his photo taken but even he managed to have fun! We got married just a few weeks before the state shut down, but we still got our pictures on time even though she was also homeschooling her kids. If you want great photos, be sure to choose Jessica!!
I researched photographers for a while and came across JM Photography. We scheduled a meeting and that night decided to go with Jessica. The week we had scheduled our engagement ph...
otos it was supposed to be super cold and snowy, but Jessica was great and stuck it out with us and drove up to the St. Cloud area to take them. We got those back and loved them! The week of the wedding we went over a timeline of the day and what shots we wanted, which was really helpful. The day of went smoothly, and Jessica and her assistant did a great job working with everyone. Jessica said it would be about 6-8 weeks to get our photos back, taking a little under 8 when we got them and again fell in love with the photos! Overall, we had a great experience with JM Photography. Jessica was professional but yet fun and bubbly, and really got my husband to laugh/smile for photos which is a difficult task sometimes. She communicated well, and her photos are stunning so it's well worth the money. I would highly recommend JM Photography!
Good quality photos and creativity on photographer's part. Extremely long wait to get photos back. Photographer was nice but didn't go out of her way to get to know us as a coupl...

Jessica is so talented! She was so comfortable to be around and even took the time to meet us prior to our wedding to really understand what we wanted in our pictures. We could tel...

I searched near and far to find a photographer that I loved and trusted. Jessica is amazing, I can't say it enough. I want everyone to use her. I went to meet her with my MOH and w...
e instantly knew she was the one. Her work is impeccable. She was hilarious and kept the day moving. When she came to hug me at the end of the day I didn't want to let go because she's a great photographer and a great person.
I researched so many photographers when planning for my wedding and Jessica from JM Photography definitely seems to provide the most bang for your buck! Her photos are stunning and...
very reasonably priced, compared to others I looked into. We loved both our engagement and wedding pictures. Jessica was totally professional, easy-going and such a spunky, fun person to be around. We had a BLAST sharing our wedding day with her! I would (and do!) recommend her to anyone!
We are so happy that Jessica from JM photography was our wedding photographer. She is, first and foremost, a true professional. She captured our wedding beautifully and was a breez...
e to work with throughout the whole process.
We love our photos and couldn't be happier with the quality of Jessica's work!
We booked Jessica to photograph our outdoor wedding in Oct and she was able to capture the feel of our wedding so well - the emotions, the details, the surroundings...everything! ...
Our wedding photos captured our special day perfectly and I love looking back at them and reliving every moment.
On top of taking amazing photographs, Jessica was really easy to work with. She was professional, prompt, easy going, and fun. We have had other family members who have continued to use her photo services for different family milestones.
Jessica is an amazingly talented photographer!
We booked Jessica upon the recommendation of friends, who used her to shoot their wedding.
We booked Jessica's top package (the "Lo...
vely" package) which included engagement pictures and rights to all of those photos, 10 hours of coverage on our wedding day and rights to all of those photos, and either a second shooter or a custom wedding photobook. We just got married about a month ago and while we are still waiting to get our photos back from our wedding day - I can absolutely say that I KNOW they will be amazing. Jessica has sent us a "sneak peek" and they are all STUNNING.
We were married on a VERY HOT, VERY HUMID June afternoon and I was not feeling my best due to the heat, after seeing a few of our photos, I am SO PLEASED with how they look - I might not have been feeling my best, but Jessica definitely made me LOOK my best! She is a miracle worker!
We are very much looking forward to seeing the rest of our photos from Jessica.
My husband and I decided immediately after getting engaged that we wanted to budget a good amount for an amazing photographer since that is all you have after the wedding day and I can say with 100% honesty that Jessica was worth EVERY SINGLE PENNY! She is truly an amazing photographer!
Jessica was wonderful to work with. She took our engagement pictures as well as our wedding day. She was very good about getting people to do what they needed to do and trying to g...
et a 22 person wedding party was no easy task!
I would have given 5 stars if it didn't take 8 weeks to get our pro pics back (still waiting :) But I know they will be worth it! We love that she also does a lot of children/family shots, so we can continue to use her in the future!
Her personality!
