I'm so happy you're here! Your wedding day is a unique story waiting to be told through my lens. My approach is simple- I focus on capturing the real and genuine moments, the laughter, the tears, the in between moments, and the love that makes your day unforgettable. As a hopeless romantic at heart, I love being able to capture the most special moments that will mean so much to you for years to come.
My job is to document your day as it naturally unfolds, capturing all the important moments, while preserving the authenticity of how everything feels. At the end of the day, it's the little unplanned moments that feel real and authentic that you'll cherish.
My mission is to make the planning process easy, stress free, and fun. From the time you reach out and inquire for your wedding day, I'll be here for you. Whether you're the kind of person that wants every moment captured, yet you are feeling overwhelmed with planning, worried about looking awkward, or struggling to find a photographer that gets you, don't worry. That's what I'm here for! From timeline planning, finding perfect vendors, posing that feels natural and effortless, making sure you don't look awkward or stiff, and making sure you and your partner feel at ease. My goal is to build a genuine connection with you, so your photos feel as unique as your love story.
Nothing in life should be forced, your wedding photos included. I'm all for capturing genuine moments never forcing staged moments or uncomfortable poses. For me, it's more about how it feels than how it looks and I'm here to help create images that authentically capture the real you, but are still beautiful.
Why I can’t wait to document your day
Here's what your wedding experience could look like
+ quick turn around times
Hiring me doesn't mean I will just show up on the day of and start shooting. It means ongoing communication- from the second you send me an inquiry to your wedding day, I'm here for you. We will talk a lot about your day. From emails, questionnaires, and phone calls.
On your wedding day
I’ll arrive bright and early to settle in quickly and say hi to everyone before I start shooting. I want to make sure everyone is 100% comfortable. I'll grab your details and document fun getting ready photos.
Whether you want me to be the ringmaster herding everyone up for a shot, or to sneak around in the background, capturing all the natural, candid moments. No cheesiness or cringy, forced poses here! My goal is that you are able to stay present with your guests, that you don't even notice i'm there. I'll make sure family photos go quick and painless as well.

Throughout your day, I’ll be weaving in and out to make sure I catch every precious moment.

Photo editing
"When picking a wedding photographer our main priority was finding someone to capture the love and fun we were having with our guests authentically and Jessica did that outstandingly. In going through our wedding album I have laughed, cried, and felt transported back to our wedding. Beyond her artistic ability, she was extremely communicative, professional, and made us feel so comfortable. Thank you Jessica!"
