I'm so happy you're here! Your wedding day is a unique story waiting to be told. 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 the most 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 the most.
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 totally 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.

Throughout your day, I’ll be weaving in and out to make sure I catch every precious moment. That quick kiss at the dinner table, tucking that loose strand of hair behind your ear, or your bridesmaids helping carry your dress. All the in between moments, the ones that are seen and unseen, and all of the candid moments

My process while editing is to choose the best photos while not going over board and picking a ton of duplicates. I strive to create unique photos with my editing techniques.
The editing process is never ending, which means that my editing skills are always improving to create those tones that my clients love.
Soft skins, warm and golden colors, and dreamy like moments that are captured and edited as if they were in a movie scene.

"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!"
