Planning a wedding is hard work and if you've ever used Pinterest, you'll know that there's over a million things to look for when it comes to your wedding photos. Enter the Amazing Jessica! From our first meeting, my husband and I knew we were going to hire her. She wasn't pushy and even gave us some tips for when we would meet with other photographers (which we decided as we walked away that we wouldn't!). Jessica was friendly, warm, and highly organized throughout the entire process, I cannot thank her enough! From the walk through at the venue, to the first dance, Jessica was professional and lovely to be around.

We did an engagement shoot up in the mountains after a light snow and Jessica was a blast! We were on the fence about doing one but after the shoot, I urge everyone to do it! Jessica explained how it's great practice for the wedding, to find time to get comfortable with our photographer, and how they're just plain fun! We got all our nervousness out in the first couple of pictures and really enjoyed it. Jessica was a pro walking around the slippery snow with us to get that perfect picture.

Our wedding day was magical and again, I want to stress how amazingly calm and happy she was. It was honestly like having another bridesmaid or good friend in the room. She even helped calm me down when we were a few moments behind schedule. When my husband and I did our first look, there was only excitement and love overflowing from us and we are so glad we did the engagement shoot before hand.

We loved our wedding and are excited to hire her again and again when we decide to grow our family.

I seriously cannot say enough good things about Jessica! She was like a baby whisperer while taking my son's newborn pictures. She was so patient and worked at his pace. We got to do more poses than I thought because she got him to behave so well. Shortly after the session she quickly posted a preview so I could see a picture of my little guy quickly. The finished product, what can I say she went above and beyond! Her edits are amazing and just enhance each picture. These will be treasured forever! I definitely found my new go to photographer for our family!

Jessica is amazing to work with and her photos are just gorgeous! We used her this month for pictures and she is so great to work with - very responsive, communicative and the quality of her pictures is top notch. I follow her on facebook and am in awe of everything she posts. I can't wait to work with her again!

I cannot thank Jessica and born beautiful photography enough for everything they did for my husband and myself on our wedding day! We actually used Jessica on two separate occasions. We had our wedding in April of 2015 and then had a reception in March of 2016. She did such an amazing job for both events and really captured all our special moments.

We hired Jessica to cover our wedding, as well as an engagement shoot in the months leading up to the big day. She did an AMAZING job. I should mention that we interviewed multiple photographers for the job, and we chose Jessica based on her stunning portfolio, and most importantly, how sweet she is and how comfortable we felt around her.

The engagement shoot took place at Balboa Park, a location we chose. We had no idea what to expect, as we had never really had a professional shoot done. Jessica was great about directing us to the best locations in the area and capturing the natural, intimate moments that unfolded. We absolutely loved the way the pictures turned out.

Fast forward to the wedding -- She perfectly captured so many beautiful moments from our big day. We were so impressed with her patience and ability to seamlessly blend in. We had multiple family members who were a serious pain, requesting a million different pictures and other things, and Jessica handled it all tremendously. Of course, the pictures are absolutely gorgeous and we couldn't be happier!

My husband and I got married 5/14/16. And we desired a photographer that would not only take amazing pictures but connect with us as a couple. We scoped out many photographers and their work and nothing captivated us. Until we came across Born Beautiful Photography and had to inquire. Jessica was accommodating, professional, and personable. Her sweet nature is just an added plus to the whole process. When taking pictures can feel somewhat awkward for some, Jessica made us feel very comfortable, which is awesome when not everyone is photogenic. And the pictures? GORGEOUS. My husband and I feel so blessed to have found her, she provided beautiful pictures to last us a lifetime. We've found our family photographer???

Jessica is absolutely amazing. Her photos take my breath away every single time! I actually cried the first time she sent us a photo she had taken of our daughter, because it was SO beautiful. She is super patient and caring with children and always pays special attention to detail. She even manages to capture magazine-worthy photos when my kids are between melt downs, not an easy task! I highly recommend her and can't wait to shoot with her again soon! She is the BEST!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
