From morning prep to booty-bopping the night away surrounded by your loved ones, I'll be there to document every raw and authentic emotion, tear-jerk reaction, and goofy moment.
While you fully experience and take mental pictures on your wedding day, I work diligently to observe and document every detail, digitally, so that in 10, 20, and even 50 years, you can relive every fleeting moment like it was yesterday.
I stand by my killer customer service & "OMG I LOVE THEM" guarantee. When you book your wedding or engagement experience with me, you're getting a new friend that is 100% committed to serving you in every way possible.
Upon your inquiry, we'll schedule a time to meet over Zoom to get to know each other and truly understand how you would like your day to be captured. With a signed contract and $1,000 retainer, you're officially on my calendar!
It's your wedding day. It's FINALLY here! Through your prior complimentary engagement session, we've already gotten to hang out in person--helping eliminate pre-wedding jitters. I'll show up early to set up & scout, and we'll document all of your incredible moments along the way.
You'll receive sneak peeks from your day within 48-72 hours via a digital gallery and the rest of your photos within 8-10 weeks. You have full rights to download, share, and print all of your edited photos!

Yes! All wedding photography packages include a complimentary engagement session you can choose to use or not (although I highly recommend it). Not utilizing the engagement session will not reduce the price of the wedding photography package. It's my gift to you!
You will receive a minimum of 150 edited photos for engagement sessions and a minimum of 400-900 edited photos for weddings. I shoot THOUSANDS of photos during engagement sessions and weddings to make sure that I can tell a solid story and preserve each incredible moment. My personal philosophy is, "if it turned out well and I would want to see it, I send it!"
I do not give out the RAW photos because they are very large files, so you will receive your images in JPEG format delivered via an online gallery.

For engagement sessions, I include up to a 4 hour driving distance, but am more than willing to quote you on travel for locations that are farther away.
We cannot speak highly enough of Jess as both a photographer and person to have by your side on wedding day. Not only did Jess take absolutely stunning photos that perfectly captured the Christmas/New Years big city winter wedding vibe that we were going for, but she was also an absolute joy to have by our sides on wedding day. She is professional, talented, and made taking photos so fun all weekend long. Going into the weekend we were a bit nervous that we may feel some photo fatigue, but we had the absolute best time taking photos with Jess and she contributed to some of the highlights of our wedding day. Not to mention that our jaws literally dropped when we received our rehearsal dinner and wedding day photos. Our only regret was not having her stay to shoot our farewell brunch as well. We loved working with Jess and hope to have an excuse to hire her again soon!
After working with Jess on our engagement photos, I knew she had to be there for our wedding too. She is so intentional with every photo, it's truly hard to find an absolute favorite. Among her expertise, Jess is also very communicative, detailed, and organized. A dream for any bride! And above all, Jess is just an absolute ball of light and a joy to be around! She felt like a friend throughout our planning process and our guests had nothing but the nicest things to say about their encounters with her throughout the night. I loved every minute of dancing with her on the dance floor.
I could not recommend her enough, especially if you're looking for a photographer who can capture a feeling in a picture. Thank you for helping us capture some of our most treasured memories!
