About

I take photography seriously, but I have a great time doing it!

Hi, I'm Jess, owner and Certified Professional Photographer at Dark Light Portrait Studios located in Williamsburg, VA. Although I am based in Williamsburg, I can travel anywhere you want to go. As they say..."have passport, will travel". Starting with the very 1st time we talk, I want to provide you with excellent customer care and top-quality portraits.

I offer a full wedding collection, as well as an option for elopement weddings. I do offer payment installment plans after your initial retainer is paid. Destination weddings do incur travel expenses.

My clients are couples who value the beauty and importance of quality photography. They have the budget and want to ensure that their memories will be there to be shared by themselves and future generations.

I only photograph a certain number of weddings per year, so if you are interested, don't wait until the last minute to try to book. Give me a call or send me an email and let's set up a time to hang out. You can tell me exactly what you are looking for! I would love for you to be a part of the Dark Light family!

So much fun!

Jess and Tony were so much fun to work with. They made taking pictures fun and stayed a bit longer just to get some more good photo ops of our special day. They are great with communication and punctuality and have creative ideas for wedding pics. Definitely recommend!

We are so glad that we used Dark Light for our wedding and engagement pictures! Jess and Tony are the perfect balance of fun and professional. All of our prints and albums are top-notch and were received in a timely manner. They were quick to reply to us and able to work with our schedule. They really took the time to get to know us and the locations of our ceremony and reception. On the day of our wedding, they were on time and prepared to work and knew the schedule of events. They were the kindest and best vendors of our entire wedding and we can't imagine using anyone else!

Tony and Jess were great to work with it. They helped ease the awkwardness my fiancé and I had going into our engagement shoot and time flew by. Tony and Jess are easy to get along with and they have quick turn around on editing and printing. I love my prints & photo book that I had printed, both of high quality. I would recommend Tony and Jess for any event you need! It's too bad someone else booked them for my wedding date before I could.

Dark Light Studios did an excellent job for our engagement pictures, and at our once in a lifetime wedding. They were very prompt, and even showed up a day before the event to discuss locations that they had viewed days prior. They were very professional, nice, knowledgeable, and ON TIME. We have worked with before on family pictures and we would recommend them to anyone for any occasion.

Tony & Jess are absolutely A M A Z I N G! They made me feel comfortable throughout the entire shoot. We shot from 9am up until around 3 in the afternoon, and there was never a dull moment with these two! We laughed, made jokes, and played around the entire time. They made me feel like we were best friends during the shoot. I really look forward to working with these two again!
