About

Blue Buttercup Photography is based in the Portland/Vancouver area and specializes in elopements and short ceremonies lasting up to 4 hours in length. Photographer Jess Kristen specializes in candid and authentic moments on your special day, capturing the real story and real emotions. With a fun and professional approach, she strives to show clients the love and passion that is evident in all the little moments. If you need any group portraits, she is happy to get those for you, but beyond those, she will not be directing or stylizing your wedding or ceremony. Her style and technique is very non-invasive, which allows her to capture the actual story of the day, instead of a scripted approach.

Amazing experience

Jess was amazing to work with. She listened to the vision we had for our wedding and helped make it a reality. She was easy to work with and the resulting images were unbelievable. I’ve used her services multiple times since our wedding and I’m never disappointed.

Best Photographer Ever. Seriously.

Jess is absolutely phenomenal. I highly recommend hiring her. She’s a pleasure to work with and I won’t use another photographer after her. We’ve hired her several times now!
