About

I want to take the photos that are still hanging on your walls when you’re 75.

My style blends a classic elegant look with charming, quirky portraiture. I’m inspired and driven to capture your personality in your photos. My goal is to capture real & honest emotion, and create timeless photographs that will withstand the test of time.

I want your wedding photography experience with me to be simple.

The many ins-&-outs of a wedding day each deserve to be captured and remembered. I will tell your whole story. You shouldn’t need to worry about squeezing your entire day into a small timeframe, and with me you don’t have to. Most packages comes with 8 hours of coverage, and a second shooter.

Simplicity is also what keeps my pricing affordable. You won’t find a box of heart-shaped chocolates nestled in “Pin-worthy” faux-moss along with your wedding photos, but I will work tirelessly documenting your big day and provide you with images that capture your personality and the love you share. I don’t out-source any work: I’m the one that will meet with you, I’m the one photographing your wedding, I’m the one going through the thousands of photos we take together, and I’m the one hand editing each individual image.

In photographing for over 10 years, I’ve found the most reward shooting weddings. The result of working closely with my clients, then seeing what the photos I’ve captured mean to them after the wedding is not only professionally satisfying, but also emotionally fulfilling. If you’re looking for a trained, experienced, creative professional who is emotionally invested in documenting your day at a realistic price, I’d love to grab a coffee with you.

He is the best

Jesse is the best no questions! Since my sisters wedding in 2017 he has become a great part of our family and friends big moments. He captured our engagement photos and wedding photos this year & we could not be happier with them. Our bridal party had a blast working with Jesse. He makes everyone feel comfortable and you can tell he loves his job. His work is amazing and he always responds in a timely matter.
We love Jesse and will always recommend him! 🥰

Jesse was amazing!

Jesse was awesome to work with and captured so many great moments from our special day. The pictures are AMAZING and made it really tough picking our top favorites. Jesse had a way to make this anti-PDA couple (lol) feel at ease and the photos look so natural / candid. Thank you, Jesse, you are amazing at what you do!

We love Jesse!

Jesse was a huge part in making our day absolutely PERFECT! From day one he was easy to work with, stress-free, and professional. And on top of those must-haves, he is just generally a fun and enjoyable person to have around. If you are anything like me and my husband, being in front of a camera is intimidating and uncomfortable. Jesse made all of those anxious feelings go away and by the end of both our engagement session and our wedding day, it felt so natural to have Jesse snapping photos of us.
Not only was Jesse an awesome contribution to the vibe of our wedding, but he got our photos back to us in ONE WEEK! That is unheard of! The photos were absolutely stunning and we will cherish them for a very long time. It felt like Jesse was seeing the wedding through my own eyes, his photos were exactly what I had hoped for!
I honestly would recommend Jesse to anyone looking for a photographer and hope to have the opportunity to work with him again in the future.
Thanks Jesse, you seriously rock!
