We absolutely loved working with Jess! We love how her photography style is unique and upscale in Jacksonville, FL. We have had so many of our friends say that our pictures look like they belong in a bridal magazine! Jess was very attentive and instructed our group pictures very well and in a timely manner. I have heard horror stories from friends that their photographers were rude to the guests/vendors and they spent too much time taking pictures. We can honestly say she has become one of our friends!

Jessica is just plain AWESOME! When a professional photographer who's work you love recommends someone who they would want to shoot their special life event, you should definitely listen. From the very first meeting with Jessica, we knew that she was the perfect fit and choice to capture our wedding. She's very laid back and she makes you feel comfortable, wanting you to just be yourself. She's super creative (just take a look at samples of her work; not to mention she's won numerous awards) and she has great vision and ideas. The best part is, she doesn't shove her own ideas down your throat. She'll make her suggestions and recommendations, but she genuinely wants to know what you want and she listens! We definitely wanted her to have free reign on how she wanted to shoot; we trusted her judgment. Jessica's great to work with. She really made us feel comfortable when we had our engagement sessions, which resulted in even better photos because we could just be ourselves. She provides you with helpful tips to help you prepare for your engagement session and the wedding day. Jessica's prices are probably not the cheapest out there, but she's definitely worth every dollar spent. For what you get in the package(s) together with the kind of service she provides from beginning to end, she's a bargain. One of the things that my wife and I decided upon when we started planning our wedding is to spend more of our money on photography and videography. We wanted to have photos that will paint the picture of what happened that special day, from the vantage point of our photographers, our guests, friends, and family members. We wanted our photos to bring us back to that whirlwind of a day (because it does go by so quickly) and that's what Jessica did for us. Jessica provides top notch service with personal touch from beginning to end. I would recommend Jessica to anyone and everyone every day of the week, and twice on Sundays.

One of the best parts of my wedding experience was working with Jessica. I had heard horror stories from other brides about their pictures and was so glad that she was the opposite. She worked with my budget and on my time frame. I looked great in every shot at my wedding!!(even the candid ones!!) She is Fantastic and so artistic. My pictures where not just typical but amazing. My family still goes on and on about how great the pictures are. Hopefully one day Jess will be taking pictures of my pregnancy, of the birth of my children, and years of family pics!!! I cant thank her enough for making my forever moments look so spectacular.

Simply The Best! Jessica is the best person for the job- I guarantee it! I fell in love with her work after two of my friends used her for their photos. My fiancé was comfortable with whomever I wanted but was nervous about the engagement shoot. The day came and Anthony was sweating! We met her for the first time at the e shoot and fell in love with her within five minutes! She was able to put us at ease and make us feel so comfortable even while lying in the dirt in a white dress! Anthony adored her and instantly relaxed! The engagement photos were the best photos we’ve ever taken! Jessica knows how to really position people to get great photos that are stunning but look natural!
Jessica is super professional!! Every meeting/ email was about what I wanted/needed, my expectations and dreams. She explained what she would need from me and always discussed what I liked and didn’t and instantly made adjustments! The days leading up to my wedding she kept in touch and assured me everything would be perfect! She was so thoughtful and caring. It meant so much to me for her to treat me like a friend and not a customer! I actually cried!
Day of the wedding she arrived and was instantly loved by my family. She won everyone over! When problems arose at our venue Jessica instantly handled the situations! She was able to continue shooting and delegate tasks to others to get what we needed done. I appreciated that so much! Her actions made it possible for me to relax and enjoy my day!
The entire day went so well and the photos were so fun! We love working with her! We have not yet received our photos as the wedding was last week, but we know they will be perfect!
The photos are also undervalued! I would have paid double for the engagement shoot! There are so many we just love! ! We received copies of photos within two weeks! I had multiple ways to contact her and never felt like I was alone or unable to reach her! I wholeheartedly recommend her!

Jessica's pictures are above and beyond, definitely worth it! She is so fun to work with and incorporates your feedback. She is also quick to produce pictures, we got ours 3 weeks after the wedding.

Wow! Where do I begin to even describe the incredibly awesome work that Jessica does? I guess I don't really have to because the proof is in her pictures! I found Jess through her photographing my friend's wedding and knew that when it was my turn I had to have her! In fact, our wedding date revolved around her availability! From our engagement photos to our wedding photos and finally our wedding album, I have some of the most beautiful pictures to document the best year of my life. As people look through our wedding album, they "ooh and ahh" at all the wonderful pictures, but the one resounding comment that stands out to me is that "she captured all the perfect moments of the wedding." I don't think compliments get any better than that. Jess was not only my photographer but quickly became my friend and someone I will continue to have a relationship with. She is professional, kind, understanding and just all around amazing! I would recommend her hands-down to anyone.

Working with Jessica from Stout Photography was a dream!! Her work is exquisite! The shots from our wedding are more beautiful then I could of hoped for. She is extremely professional and reliable, I completely valued her opinions and expertise. She is also extremely kind and understanding, which is so very important for a bride. She obviously loves what she does and I felt she was incredibly invested in doing her very best. The memories she captured of our wedding day are gorgeous and real; seeing them takes me back to the best day of my life. Her style is unlike any other I could find; her pictures reflect more than just a beautiful image, but a vivid memory of the emotion in the moment, the smell in the air, the music. the romantic piece of time and space that you will cherish all of your life. Her work is pure magic and working with her was a wonderful experience. She is absolutely the best there is!

We met Jessica at a friend's wedding where she was the photographer, so we knew the level of service we would be getting at our wedding. I cannot recommend Jessica higher - we love all of her photos, and she always has a very professional manner. I would ask her to be my photographer again in a heartbeat.

When numerous friends and co-workers HIGHLY recommend a wedding photographer, you know you are working with someone special. Our office had a rash of engagements and many of my co-workers were looking for photographers. I started a search myself when I got engaged but I found myself looking for someone who took photos that were fresh and different. When I came across a co-worker's engagement photos, I immediately asked, "who took these photos?" I was so excited because the photos encapsulated exactly what I was looking for. When we made our first appointment with Jessica, I knew she was THE ONE. Photography is so important, and my fiance and I didn't want the status quo -- we wanted something awesome and fun. We were able to work with Jessica during our engagement shoot and wedding. During the engagement shoot, Jessica knew exactly where she wanted us to capture the best light. The entire afternoon went fluidly and we were able to get the best photos. We got so many compliments on our save the dates -- we had to choose the one card option that had the most photos because we couldn't choose our favorites! There were too many! When it came do our wedding day, Jessica really proved she was the most awesome photographer around. She maneuvered our entire wedding party around Crocker Art museum, looking for interesting shots with great light. She knew what was going to look good in the photos and made us all feel extremely comfortable. And she was not afraid to contort herself to get the best angles! Jessica literally will lie on the floor if she thinks it will help get the perfect photo -- she is THAT DEDICATED. It was so easy to work with her and we couldn't be happier with the wedding photos. The photos were just "us" and that is exactly what we wanted. Jessica really created magic with her camera that day. Thank you Jessica!

Jessica has a great style that is very "documentary/candid" She really wanted to make sure she got a sense of who were were and what we expected. She took photos of us getting ready and I felt totally at ease in some of my weirdest moments (getting my hair teased like the Bride of Frankenstein!). We opted to do the first look and she arranged a beautiful moment with the two of us, just being ourselves. It was amazing to feel so at ease even though we had two cameras shooting us.

She also had the posed family and bridal/groom photos and I was amazed at how easy she made it look. She has the ability to control large groups of people and get things done quickly. We had one groomsman who needed a little more "direction" and she was able to take care of that without making anyone feel awkward!

We just got our sneak peak photos and I was so amazed at how perfect everything was. Our getting ready photos, during the wedding, and couple photos were so perfect and exactly as we hoped. Jessica captured the golden "magic hour" so perfectly and I was so impressed with how much emotion came through the photos. I would use her again in a heartbeat and I only wish I had a reason to do another big photo session. Thanks Jessica for making everything so perfect on our wedding day!

If anyone is considering Jessica Stout Photography and does not pick her they will be disappointed. Our experience with Jessica was absolutely amazing and out pictures turned out beautiful. Jessica truly has a great talent and you can really tell she loves what she does. At the end of the day the cake, the food, and the flowers will all be gone and the only really tangible thing you will have from your wedding are the pictures. I truly encourage everyone who reads this review to make sure they get the best experience and fantastic pictures and choose Stout Photography as your photographer. You will not be disappointed.

Jessica was wonderful. She is sweet and very creative. Everyone loves our pictures. She had a big challenge working in between a lot of videpgraphers and she still managed to come up with fabulous photos! We love her! you will too!

Without a doubt, Jessica is one of the most professional and talented photographers in the Sacramento region. We are extremely pleased with how well she worked with us before, during and after the wedding. Our photos were available for review pretty quickly which allowed our family and us to quickly pic and order the favorites. Initially, we were apprehensive about the cost for the selected wedding & engagement package, given that money is tight. But in the end, we really did get what we paid for. The product she offers was certainly worth what we paid.

Jessica was great from day 1! In our initial meeting, she was able to answer all our questions, show us her portfolio, and was already highly recommended to us. She kept constant communication with us through our whole planning stages. Our engagement photos turned out beautifully. On our wedding day, she was not only professional, but gracious to us, the wedding party, our families, other vendors, and our guests. She gives direction well to capture amazing pictures! She also has a great eye for sunsets, light and color. After our wedding, an appointment was promptly made for our album. The completed album was packaged and delivered in a very timely manner.

I am really impressed with Jessica's professionalism, promptness, and talent!

Jessica's beautiful work caught my eye while I was hunting for the perfect photographer for my wedding. The artistic touch and stunning use of light in her work was unlike anything I'd seen.

Jessica Stout is the most professional, kind, accommodating, and dedicated photographer out there. Her pricing is very competitive in contrast to the outstanding quality of her work. It's so important to find someone that has the bride and groom's needs and wants as their 1st priority, and she made it clear that her gorgeous pictures were only a vehicle for capturing a couple's happiness.

Jessica was a very special part of our wedding's success story, and we have such wonderful memories to admire forever. She became much more than just our photographer; she's now a friend. My husband, Brian, and I HIGHLY recommend Stout Photography and can't wait to have her behind the camera for our future *baby* pictures :)

Jessica is a wonderful photographer! Her pictures are strategic yet relaxed and capture the moment. My husband and I felt very comfortable with her and we couldn't of asked for a better experience. I've used my wedding pictures for so many different things (Christmas card, photo fram collage, photo books, etc.) because I love them so much. You definately won't be disappointed if you ask Jessica to capture your day.
