Oh, where to begin. These two ladies are wonderful. We hired both Jess and Kay for photography & coordination services for our May 2017 wedding in San Diego - and we did not regret it, to say the very least. I found them both through a coworker who hired them for her own wedding, and only had the best of things to say (I was also privy to her entire wedding photo album, and Jess’ work speaks for itself). We also hired Jess to do our engagement photos before the wedding - if you have an opportunity to do this I highly recommend it! My husband and I had never had professional photos taken of us, and we were more than a little nervous going into it. Jess is so sweet and hilarious though, she immediately puts you at ease and makes the process super fun and enjoyable. The photos themselves are amazing (I have gotten compliments from people I barely know who were shown the images by our friends), and we had one less variable to be nervous about going into the wedding itself. And then the wedding photos - all I can say is wow, wow, wow. They are STUNNING. Jess and her second did a great job of capturing all the photos we wanted - but also got a bunch of great ones we had no idea they were taking (for example, reaction photos of our guests as people were giving toasts). I am greatly looking forward to the photobooks I will be putting together for our families this year. Seriously - I can't stop staring at the photos.

If you want top quality photos of your wedding - you will not regret hiring Lover of Weddings.

Wow, I can't believe how lucky we were to have Jessica. We contacted her super last minute and she found time for us. With impending rain I was panicking about our photos, but Jessica was flexible and did whatever she could to make our timing work. My fiance and I are not people who are comfortable in front of the camera, so we were nervous. Jessica made us laugh, made us feel comfortable, and we truly enjoyed the day. If you are looking for a caring, professional, but comfortable photographer, Jessica is your girl. Our engagement session was an event to remember and as soon as I know our when and where for the big day, I'm calling her!

I went to Jessica and Kay off a recommendation from a few friends (also, in the interest of disclosure, Jessica and I went to the same high school, but we didn't know each other then). I'm so glad I did! Kay did a MARVELOUS job keeping my wedding day running smoothly and worked flawlessly with reps at our venues. I can't thank her enough for that.
Jessica and her 2nd shooter were fabulous as well. We had a great time taking pictures after our ceremony and can't wait to see all the photos (we've just seen sneak peeks so far). Our family members were impressed at her organization when it came to who was going to be in what family photos - she had a list and she checked them off as she went! I would have liked to see her 2nd shooter do some shots of our wedding party while we did all the family photos, just to make that time go a little faster, but that might not be something the 2nd (or Jessica) were comfortable with, I'm not sure really.
I had told Jessica ahead of time about a specific photo I wanted to take (with some signs I had made saying "Hi Grandma!" for our grandparents who couldn't travel), but we all forgot the day of even though it was (I think) in her notes about photos to take. I forgot the entire day until it was late in the evening at the reception, and I told her, and she did offer to go get the signs, but my #1 wedding regret is that I said "no, it's ok." I'm planning on putting my dress on and getting my hubs in a suit again to take some for the grandparents with the signs, but it really does bum me out that we forgot early in the day.
I don't want that to take away at all from Jessica and Kay's skill and ability to capture beautiful images and be a coordination rock star - thank you from the bottom of my heart for being there to preserve memories of our big day and keep it on track so I didn't have to. :)
