About

Ciao, dahhhling! I’m Jessica, a wedding photographer with a métier for naturally-lit, romantic, and candid imagery as well as creative jack-of-all-trades (which is a nice way of saying I have way too many hobbies and interests). I’m an early riser, a tidy house keeper, an avid yoga goer, and if I don’t have at least three artsy fartsy, extracurricular projects going on the side, my brain would implode.

I’m a chef on the side, a chronic house rearranger, a DIY-er who likes to get her hands dirty, and a green thumb kinda gal. I’m married to my dashing California-bred husband, Chris, and we live in a beautiful 1934 Craftsman Bungalow abode with our two cooky cats and one dopey mutt, which – fun fact – we closed on two days before the day we got murried (yeah, we cray ).

I have a knack for making up my own old sayings, which I correlate to my Mom making up words to song lyrics in the car throughout my entire childhood. Actually, who am I kidding? She’s my “Ma.” Thanks, Ma!! I was born and raised in Queens, New York, and raised by off-the-boat Italians, so I’m well known for being vivacious and talking with my hands (this is currently my favorite emoji). On a related note, I use emojis like they’re going out of style.

That’s enough about me, let’s get real. My process is simple: I want you both to feel comfortable and at ease. I wear my heart on my sleeve in my life, and I’ll do the very same with you. I’m the kind of gregarious gal that’ll tell some pretty bad jokes to get you laughing (a daily practice ) with eyes wide open for those “in-between” moments. I’m a creative guide, with Type-A organizational flair, and a big smile on my face, who plans to show up at your day not just as a photographer, but as a friend, and an artist, you really trust. That’s how I’ll capture the candid essence of you two.

I want you to look back at your images and feel a tug on your heartstrings. I want to transport you to exactly what the day *felt* like. I want you to always remember how special this one, giant celebration in your life was. Yours to remember forever.

Couldn't have been more perfect!

Working with Jessica was, by far, one of the best choices we made for our wedding day. She was very easy to speak with, and after our first phone call we were left with the confidence that she'd be a perfect fit for our wants and needs.

She helped us with planning the day's itinerary, keeping everything on schedule, and she took tons of amazing photos while still allowing us to enjoy all parts of our day - everything we were hoping for and more! Our families absolutely loved her as well, she was an absolute joy to work with!

Brigham & Co. was worth every penny and we'd enthusiastically recommend their services to anyone looking to capture amazing memories on their special day!

Amazing Photographer

Jess is a sensational photographer. Going into my engagement shoot, my fiancé and I were amused at the fact that we are both very unnatural picture takers. We both have lovely smiles, but something about the camera gives us great tension and awkwardness. Therefore, it is to Jess’s credit and talent that she was able to capture us at our very best. She kept the process lighthearted and fun, with a commensurate degree of professionalism.
The entire experience was more than smooth, it was fun. The pictures came out beautifully and we will cherish them forever. The price was great to boot! Top to bottom, Jess was stellar and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anybody who is looking for a great photographer.

Stunning work.

Working with Jessica of Brigham & Co. was easily the best decision we made in planning our wedding. Not only was she our most organized, flexible, and communicative vendor, she immediately put us at ease with her down to earth and joyful personality.

We just got our pictures back and are in awe of how she captured our day with such warmth and detail. Thank you, Jessica, for being part of our day and for giving us art that we will cherish for our lifetime.

Lots of fun working with Jessica! She is extremely talented and a true professional.

Working with and getting to know Jessica was an absolute pleasure. She is extremely professional and organized, talented, down to earth and super fun to work with. Jessica made it very comfortable for my husband and I to be in front of the camera (which is something we're typically not), and she captured so many beautiful details and moments of our wedding day - which we has expressed was most important to us. The photos came out absolutely amazing AND we were so impressed with the way they were organized!!
Our family and friends also raved about how great they thought Jessica was and how impressed they were with the way she worked!

Jessica is truly fabulous and extremely talented - we would highly recommend Brigham & Co.!!

Best vendor of our wedding day!

My husband and I couldn't have asked for a better wedding photographer. She was incredibly warm, energetic and listened to ALL of our requests. When we met with Jessica, we told her that we wanted something less traditional that captured the candid and fun loving moments from all of the guests at our wedding, and she went above and beyond. I was a bride who didn't really know how weddings are supposed to go - so I had moments where I was indecisive and moments where I was very particular. Jessica catered to that and helped to guide us through the whole process. I would 100% recommend her to EVERYONE.

Brigham & Co. Where to even begin. My wife and I simply could not have asked for a better experience, service, or relationship with Jess and Brigham & Co. From the very beginning, our very first in-person interaction with Jess, it was clear that we made the right choice. She is not only a phenomenal photographer (cannot stress that enough), she is equally a phenomenal person. Jess has a warm smile, and laugh to her that separates her from other wedding vendors (and people frankly) and that is something you simply cannot find or pay for. From the very first pose for our engagement photos, Jessica made us feel like old, close friends with her, laughing and joking with us, encouraging us to be ourselves and just do what we normally do when it is just us together with no one around. Needless to say, it made all the difference. Looking back on the engagement photos, they breathtaking and beyond what we ever would have expected.
The wedding interactions and actual photos continued to blow our wildest expectations out of the water. Seeing Jess on our wedding day was like see a beloved guest at the wedding who just also happened to be the world's best photographer. She is impeccably professional, kind, and in charge while she is working. Warm and yet able to execute flawlessly and make steady efficient progress during the photos (not an easy task, but a must considering how busy the day is). She was continually laid back and sure to give us our time throughout the wedding day when needed, while also ensuring we got every shot needed for the best possible of collection wedding photos.
Cannot stress enough, Brigham & Co was a massive success for my wife and I and we would never suggest another vendor to friends or family. Throughout the entire process, the communication was easy and consistent, the pricing very fair, and the execution perfect. Pick them. Do it. You will not be disappointed and you will be so glad you did.

Jessica is magical to work with! She is enthusiastic, quirky, engaged, organized and professional. She brought a lot of energy to the wedding planning process and her energy on the wedding day helped to put us at ease and keep everyone in line and on schedule! It turned out to be pretty chilly for our outside photos but she warmed our spirits and was able to direct and capture beautifully real photos. Her candid, joyful style is exactly what we were looking for and she delivered.

Jessica is absolutely amazing! My husband and I are so lucky to have found her. After viewing her website, we knew she was the only photographer that would meet our high demands. We wanted genuine, candid, yet traditional photos that Jessica’s work clearly displayed. Jessica’s impeccable artistry captured our day perfectly from start to finish with unexpected magical moments in-between that we had no idea she captured. We were sad when the wedding was all over, but viewing our photos is like reliving our special day :) Not only is her work absolutely stunning, but her attentiveness and organization throughout the whole day made everything so easy. She listens to you but is there to offer her invaluable expertise. In other words, she makes your big day stress-free.

Cannot say enough great things about Jessica and her photography. I have come to love her and her husband as friends after getting to know them leading up to our wedding. Her style of photography is what lead me to her after a recommendation from our planner. Upon meeting her I was immediately sold by her outgoing, fun, spunky personality. She made being photographed easy for us which is something I thought would be difficult.
She got us a link to our photos (sooo many) within 3 weeks of getting married. My only complaint is I can't narrow down my favorites to fit into one album! She is a true artist and an amazing woman. Cannot recommend her enough.

Jessica of Brigham & Co. is a wonderful photographer and captured our wedding beautifully. Her style is amazing- very natural, gorgeous lighting, and she got all of the details and special moments. Jessica was wonderful to work with- quick to respond to emails, met with us twice to get to know us before the wedding, and she was very flexible with last minute changes in our photo plan due to inclement weather. I wish I could attach a picture to this review to show her amazing work, but trust me, if you want beautiful wedding photos, go with Brigham & Co.!
