I was born and raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan and am completely in love with my city. After attending Grand Rapids Community College for two years and another three and a half at Western Michigan University in the Gwen Frostic School of Art, I graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Art degree with an emphasis in Photography in 2015. Lately, if I’m not photographing or editing, you can find me singing, reading fantasy, actively spending time with my family or being an absolute nerd with my friends!

I am SO grateful I was able to find Jessie and Wildcrest Studio here on the Knot. From day one, she showed kindness and support for our wedding day. Her attention to detail and ability to lead helped the day move without a hitch. Our photos turned out absolutely beautiful and we have already gotten so many compliments. I absolutely recommend Jessie and the Wildcrest Studio team to anyone who is looking for beautiful, amazing, and authentic photos!!

If you are looking for a photographer for any of your life needs, look no further than Jess at Wildcrest Studios! I first met Jess when I booked a couples shoot with her. From the minute my now husband and I met her we were instantly comfortable and felt a connection with Jess which made being in front of the camera so much easier. You will find a common theme throughout this review, but the photos turned out absolutely stunning and I was obsessed with Jess and her business from then on out. The minute I got engaged, Jess was my first phone call. We booked our wedding and engagement session with her right away. She took the time to not only meet with us but get to know us both personally as well as making sure we got to personalize our engagement session and cover whatever we desired for our wedding. I secretly booked a boudoir shoot with Jess as a surprise wedding gift for my husband and could not have asked for a better experience. Being that vulnerable in front of someone is challenging to say the least but at no point during the shoot did I not feel comfortable, safe, or confident. Jess is the only hype women you would ever need in your life, it is hard not to feel powerful with her building you up. I walked away from it with the best body imagine I have had in years, truly feeling beautiful in who I am. Plus, the session included a printed book with my favorite images that Jess expertly designed and curated. Then came the wedding and everything went extremely smooth. You spend a huge majority of your wedding day with your photographer so it was important to me to have someone who knew me and what I wanted, but also would enhance my wedding experience. Jess and her second shooter were absolute professionals that were also a blast to be around! They truly made my wedding better than I ever could have imagined and could not have asked for a better experience or images. Have a mentioned enough that every single imagine I have gotten from her has been absolutely stunning and magical? I could go on for days about all the wonderful things Jess and Wildcrest Studios have to offer. I have recommended her to friends, and they have all had an absolutely amazing experience as well, nothing short of perfection! She will be my photographer for every major life event going forward because without a doubt she is the best photographer I have ever worked with.

Shelby! You got me crying in the club (jk the coffee shop, who am I kidding)! It has been ...
an absolute honor to capture you and Ryan! You two are the sweetest, funniest and most fabulous people I know and I am so honored to also call you my friends now! Thank you for trusting me with your most intimate moments, vibing with me and helping me make a little magic. I will be thinking about your wedding for years to come, honestly! And your boudoir session, WOW WOW, what an absolute GODDESS. I will never recover. Thank you for being amazing (both of you). I can't wait until out next sesh!

I am going to try and get off my soapbox for this review but I make no promises. Hiring Jessie Harris and Wildcrest Studios for my wedding was the single best decision I have ever made, except for marrying my husband. We had a small wedding, with a small budget, a very specific vision, no planner or coordinator, and no freaking clue what we were doing. From my first phone call with Jessie I knew that she was something special. She is experienced, organized, diligent, detail oriented, creative, kind, patient, and funny as heck. She truly listens to what you are hoping for and - somehow, despite all odds - she makes it happen. She LITERALLY threw off her shoes and climbed into Lake Michigan to get a shot of my husband and I on a dock at sunset. She kicked the groomsmen out of the area during our first touch because it was ruining the moment and I was too emotional and nervous to say anything. She drove across the state to shoot a pre-wedding reception for us. Alex, the second shooter, tied my husband’s bow tie for him before he walked down the aisle… and my brother’s… and my dad’s… and I’m pretty sure half the groomsmen’s bow ties too. She helped us create the timeline for our wedding day. She even gave us advice on what to pick for our first dance. And, to top it all off, she has provided us with the most unbelievable and stunning engagement, reception, and wedding day photos I could have imagined. Grateful doesn’t begin to cover how I feel when thinking about finding Jessie and Wildcrest Studios. Do yourself a favor and at least send an inquiry. Or don’t, and I’ll keep her all to myself :)

redible - I was so surprised how instantly we had a connection and now I just want to be besties! Your wedding day was one of the most incredible days I've ever been a part of and I hope someday I can find a love like yours!

We had a bad experience with a previous photographer, and Jessie made everything right in the world again. She addressed all our concerns and made sure we felt confident. Jessie and Alex absolutely rocked the wedding day, capturing all the moments and helping the whole day go so smoothly. We are in love with our sneak peek photos and are so happy we went with Wildcrest Studio!

My wedding photos turned out absolutely beautiful. I've had so many compliments; one friend said they're the best wedding photos she's ever seen! I submitted one particular picture in an end-of-year photo montage at work, and I had many coworkers tell me how beautiful the photo was and that I looked like a model. Jess is a very talented photographer and an all-around good human. She makes the process from beginning to end so easy and fun, and you will not regret hiring her!

We had the most amazing experience with Jessie/Wildcrest Studio. Jessie is SO awesome to work with - she is extremely down-to-earth, flexible and makes the photoshoots fun, especially if you feel awkward about it initially. Our engagement session was during winter and we had some crazy cold weather on the day we initially planned to do the shoot, so we asked to change dates. Jessie was great about working with us to reschedule, and we ended up with the perfect day! It was important to us to include our dogs for both the engagement shoot and on wedding day, and not only was Jessie excited about this, but also patient with them even when they weren't fully cooperating. She handled everything so professionally, while also being very easy to connect with! Figuring out our wedding day timeline was a breeze as she worked everything out so that we had time for all of our important moments. Having a second photographer at the wedding was great as well since we got photos of things from different perspectives. A month after receiving the photos, we still look through them frequently and couldn't be happier with the way they turned out! We are definitely customers for life and will continue to recommend Wildcrest Studio to everyone we know!

Jessie is amazing! My husband and I do not care for pictures being taken of us, and she made us feel very comfortable. Her fun personality and caring spirit made the experience wonderful. She is timely in her responses and listens to your ideas. I plan to use her in the future as well for all of our life events to come.

As a couple that does not like having our photos taken we were a little apprehensive about our engagement and wedding photos, but after our initial meeting we knew that we were in good hands. Jessie got us comfortable and gave us helpful reminders throughout the engagement shoot and by the end we were having so much fun it was easy to forget we were having photos taken! For our wedding we got all the photos we wanted as well as many that we would never have thought to ask for. We love our photos and swear by the investment. We happily recommend her to anyone who will listen, we had a wonderful experience!

Wildcrest Studios photographed both my engagement and wedding photos. My husband was a little nervous about the photos, because he doesn’t ‘do very well’ in front of a camera, but Jessie made us both feel at ease so the pictures turned out spectacularly! On our wedding day Jessie was ready to photograph every special moment, and even worked through the poring rain, and managed to take beautiful photos. She also knows how to work well with a bridal party and all the family that comes along with a wedding. I would choose Wildcrest studios again and again for our wedding!

Wildcrest Studio provided us with exactly what we needed for our wedding day. Jessica was punctual and organized. I found while I was planning that there were many wedding things I didn't know existed. For example day-of photo schedules and wedding photo "types". Jessica informed me and made me feel prepared for our special day. Additionally, I found it incredibly helpful that Jessica met with us before the wedding to organize our photography experience. She was flexible, easygoing, and I would highly recommend her services.
