Cheers Babe

My god, we are so happy that Jess at Cheers Babe photographed our wedding. We absolutely couldn’t be happier with the results.

When we were looking for a photographer for our wedding & engagement, Jess’ work immediately stood out. She had a fun, vibrant style that we immediately loved. But more than that, we noticed she captured special & candid moments between her couples. And that’s exactly what were hoping for when we chose her.

And boy, did she do an amazing job. We are two awkward, nerdy people. We were very nervous about taking photos, but Jess made us feel at complete ease. At both the engagement shoot and wedding, Jess captured moments that felt unique to US. And each photo was beautifully composed and gorgeous. The turnaround time was impressive — she sent a generous selection of sneak peeks the day after each event, and we received the final sets of photos much earlier than expected.

On top of that, Jess and her team were professional and lovely at the wedding itself. Many guests commented on how much they liked the photographers. Also, Jess photographed our wedding while almost 9 months pregnant! We were very impressed and so touched that she was able to squeeze us in.

We are so so so happy with Jess & Cheers Babe’s work and would recommend them to absolutely anyone.

Cheers Babe is the best photography team and we could not be more thrilled with our decision to use them for our wedding and engagement photos. Jess was incredible to work with, from start to finish, and her photo editing is unreal. Her regular and clear communication is VERY special in this industry and made our lives so much easier. She even helped me pick bridesmaids dress colors when I asked for design help! Jenny was our photographer and she was absolutely incredible at both our engagement shoot and wedding day. My husband and I aren’t super comfortable in front of cameras but Jenny made the photo sessions so genuinely fun that we are candidly smiling or laughing in most of the photos. The photos are absolutely beautiful. Jenny even got our dog Oatmeal to pose for minutes at a time and the photos of him are unreal. We wanted cheerful, colorful, real photography that captured our love and Cheers Babe surpassed our wildest expectations.

Jess, Julia and Renee all did a fabulous job with our engagement and wedding photos!! Jess is just exceptional, so professional and fun at the same time, so much good energy, and amazing at coordinating the experience and editing photos. She takes care care and pride in her work and with her team and it shows! Julia took our engagement and wedding photos and was so kind and easy to work with. She is experienced and gives good promptings while allowing you your own creative juices to flow as well! Renee was our second shooter for our wedding and has great energy, creative ideas, and is very skilled behind the camera as well! Thank you Cheers Babe for so many beautiful keepsake shots from our wedding, and to anyone looking to hire Cheers Babe, you won't regret it!!!

Something no one tells you... you are with your photographer for a lot of your wedding day and in some pretty emotional moments (good and bad!). Jess is the ultimate hype girl, who keeps you calm and on time all while taking the most beautiful pictures. She is organized, sent us an adorable gift when we booked her, and really made us feel like she really wanted to be there! She is incredible, book her!

Jess is the most thoughtful, insightful and talented photographer I've ever worked with! I was lucky to meet her at my best friend's wedding and was able to see her in her element. I wasn't even engaged at the time and I knew she would photograph my wedding some day

About 6 months later I got engaged to my best friend and the first thing I did was reach out to Jess to check her availability for our big day! She was flexible, professional, and so so sweet. As we dealt with COVID and so many changes to our wedding day, Jess was always a calm presence and was so helpful with her expertise as we jumped thru hurdles and made changes.

Our wedding was PERFECT and Jess made everything run seamlessly! She was calm and sweet but also forceful (in the best way!!!) to keep things running smoothly and on time. I was so comfortable with her!

Thank you Jess! You're amazing and The Beams are so thankful for you!!!! Anyone looking for a photographer in the Bay Area will not be disappointed!!!

When I got engaged, the first thing I did for wedding planning was book Cheers Babe to capture our wedding day. Outside of marrying my husband, booking Cheers Babe was the best decision I made when it came to our wedding.

When COVID hit, we went from having a destination wedding for 200 people to a 10-person wedding at my husband’s childhood home. Through all the ups and downs of planning our original dream wedding, cancelling that wedding, and re-planning another wedding, Jess was with us every step of the way. When you hire Jess, you are hiring more than a photographer. You are hiring a caring, passionate and empathetic human being who truly loves her couples.

It can be awkward posing for photos. Jess takes all of the awkwardness out of it and makes it feel natural and fun. We booked an engagement photoshoot with Jess before our wedding and I am so glad we did. She taught us tons of tips for taking photos that she referenced again on our wedding day. It made the whole thing so much more natural. Jess has a way of making her brides and grooms feel so beautiful and at ease, which shows in the end result. You can feel the joy and happiness when you look at her photos because that’s how she makes her couples feel!

Jess was AMAZING! Picking a great photographer for our wedding was the hardest vendor decision we had to make - because we knew this would be our greatest treasure to remember our day and share photos with our children and grandchildren one day....So it was such a hard choice. As soon as we met with Jess all my fears were gone! I knew she was the perfect person and would give us the most amazing photos. Doing an engagement shoot with Jess was the second best decision we made, because we were already familiar/comfortable with her on the wedding day. We LOVE our pictures. And I have never felt more comfortable having my photo taken (because I am usually super awkward) than I did with Jess. I highly recommend her!

Normally I don't write reviews, or really take the time to summarize my thoughts. Working with Jess and her team this weekend felt like it warranted a review. You should know I did almost zero planning for my wedding (yes, I'm very lucky), my wife did pretty much everything from interviewing vendors, to negotiating pricing, etc. Cheers Babe, and Jess came to us a referral of sorts, my wife, was the Maid of Honor at another wedding that was being photographed by Jess. One of our favorite photos of us as a couple was a candid shot on the dance floor taken at that wedding. With all the background said, when my wife, approached me about hiring a photographer for our wedding and that she wanted the same one from her friends wedding. I just nodded my head and went back to watching cartoons (probably). Flash forward to our wedding this last weekend, and I can easily say picking Jess and Cheers Babe was by far our best decision. She worked really well with our Videographer, which I will say is surprisingly important. They worked together to plan out shots, didn't get in each others way, gave us the direction we needed and kept us on schedule. Not only did she help us plan out our shot list to ensure that every family photo we could have wanted in every combination possible was shot in the most organized way possible. She was realistic in her expectations, and expertly dealt with the larger personalities of our extended family members. We received about 10 of our photos the next day, and can't wait until our entire package is sent over in the near future.

Jess is AMAZING! If you are considering her for your photographer, HIRE HER. Jess was the photographer for our engagement and wedding photos, and she was fantastic. Jess is kind-hearted, fun, and has an incredible knack for making you feel at ease while she’s taking photos. My fiancé and I can get a bit camera shy, but Jess had us moving around and laughing the entire time. Jess is also a total wedding expert, and saved the day with her advice when I had several last-minute wedding dress issues. Finally, her photos are gorgeous. Many of our family and friends have commented on how beautifully our wedding photos turned out, and we have Jess to thank for capturing the joy and love around us on our wedding day. We highly recommend working with Jess!

Choosing Cheers Babe / Jess as our wedding photographer was hands down the absolute best wedding decision we made! I honestly think Jess might be an angel because that's how big of an impact she had on our day. First off, Jess is just a kind, caring, funny and bubbly human being. She makes the awkward feelings of being in front of a camera melt away in 2.5 seconds without even trying. Jess also has impeccable taste and was such a good sounding board for ideas I had on our day of (ie. that probably won't look the way you way you think it will or yes, love that so much!!). Her responsiveness and support put me at ease so more times than I can count. Jess also took time to get to know my husband and I so it was that much easier to feel like ourselves around her which TOTALLY shows in our pictures. On top of all that, Jess was amazing at working with my other vendors, managing details, and of course was on time and on the money with everything she said she'd do. She even had a sneak peak of photos for us to look at before we even boarded a plan to our honeymoon. So on to the actual pictures themselves...this is probably a bit TMI for a wedding review but I was very insecure about getting my pictures taken for my engagement shoot and wedding. Jess was able to not only make me forget about my insecurities during our first
session / engagement photos but then literally brought me to tears as I saw how stunning our photos turned out. Every ounce of insecurity I had was gone after that and it's entirely because of Jess. She was a blast at our wedding. All of our guests loved her and you can actually feel the vibe of our special day when you look at any of the photographs. We will never have enough words to express our gratitude to Cheers Babe but we can say BOOK HER AS SOON AS YOU CAN! Photographers with this kind of talent are one in a trillion!!

My husband and I used Cheers Babe Photo for our Palm Springs Wedding last month. We are SO happy we chose Jess to capture moments from our special day and would give her a million stars if we could! We chose jess mainly for her style -- fun and creative which is exactly what we were looking for. But from the moment we booked, to the day we got our photos back, our experience with Jess was amazing! Jess has excellent communication -- she is super responsive to client needs and questions throughout the process. She also makes you feel very comfortable - I didn't feel an ounce of stress from any of the photos. Jess is also very efficient - I was nervous that we'd get off track with family photos and miss out on cocktail hour but that was not the case thanks to Jess! Jess sent us our wedding photos recently and they are so perfect. I HIGHLY recommend Cheers Babe for your wedding if you are looking to capture your wedding photos with a fun, non-cheesy vibe

Jess was very professional in all aspects as my event photographer. Excellent communication before, during, and after. My photos were awesome! Plus, I received them very quickly. I highly recommend Cheers Babe for your photography needs.

My entire experience with Jess as our wedding photographer has been fantastic. When I was first researching for photographers, I knew exactly what kind of look & feel I was searching for. Fun, bubbly, colorful, lots of pink tones, natural, and modern. Jess had all of that in her portfolio. On top of that, I found her to be incredibly professional, friendly, and helpful. I chose the package that included an engagement session and a second photographer for the wedding -- and it was totally worth it. She sent me helpful guides and worked with me on my wedding timeline to make sure we maximized her time and kept the order of activities as efficient as possible. I had guests reach out to me after the wedding saying how they really liked my photographer and her professionalism.

I just received my wedding photos this week and they turned out so beautiful. I can't stop looking at them! I would recommend Jess to anyone looking for a professional photographer for their wedding. You can rest assure that the final product will be amazing.

Oh my gosh, I don't even know where to begin! Jess was PHENOMENAL. From initial contact to our wedding day, she was nothing but professional, sweet and thoughtful. I poked around on her website and Instagram to get a feel for her style, and after talking with her it was an easy decision to book CheersBabe for our wedding. In the months leading up to our big day, she was responsive whenever I had a question and always offered to help any way she could (even if it wasn't directly related to the wedding day photography). I truly felt like she was excited to capture our wedding. Come wedding day, I was so nervous (!)... but she was calm, cool and collected, and helped put me at ease - I think it's just in her nature. She took control, did what she had to do, and kept a smile on her face the entire time. My whole family loved her! She had an assistant with her, she was also a joy. Loved working with them both.

Our wedding was on Aug. 3, and we have already received our photos. They are absolutely stunning. We didn't want a lot of cliche photos, and she totally captured the mood and our love perfectly. She has an awesome eye and style, and I couldn't be happier. We've sent the gallery to family and friends, and everyone keeps commenting on how incredible our photographer was.

We didn't want your run-of-the-mill wedding photographer, and Jess was far from that. I love her quirky style and her love for love. My mother-in-law said it best to Jess - "you are a master of your trade!" Jess was just an absolute joy to work with.

Jess was great! From the very beginning of the process she was super organized and laid out exactly what we needed to know about the differences in services she offered (pricing, aesthetic, etc). Her bubbly personality shines through all of her communication and matched her exactly when we finally got to meet in person. Planning a wedding from across the country isn't the easiest thing, but Jess made the photography part a breeze. She made my husband and I feel so comfortable during our wedding day as well as our guests who were also being photographed. It felt like we had been long time friends which made us all want to just continue taking pictures. Our photos came out great and make us want to do it all over again! Highly recommend Jess if you want to ensure on having a great time!
