Jessica Charles Photography

Words cant even describe how amazing Jessica is. She was our photographer for our engagement shoot and our wedding. From the beginning she was so friendly and personable, and also passionate about what she does. Our engagement photos were exactly what we wanted. Between our engagement and wedding we kept in touch a lot! Photography was one of the most important aspects of our wedding, so I had a lot of specific questions for her throughout the planning process. She was always helpful and provided a lot of input while keeping me calm about the day that everything would be perfect. She is the best combination of laid back and organized the day of our wedding. It made me feel super relaxed and calmed my nerves day of which I definitely needed! She got all the details so I didn't have to think about it! We had a lot of time for photos (on purpose), so it was a long day from getting ready to our send off. I was worried that it would be really tiring for her and her second photographer but they loved every minute, they were so passionate about capturing every moment which was so special to us. Upon seeing our wedding photos (a short two weeks later because she was so fast at getting everything back!) it was like reliving our day all over again. Jessica is an amazing artist and her photography is simply stunning, from the rich color and beautiful lighting she captures to every angle and detail. I can't say enough how in love with our photos that we are and how grateful to Jessica we are to have them to cherish every single day!

Jessica is a dream come true. The thing that I love about her is that she is able to capture the moments that might mean nothing to outsiders looking in, but mean the absolute world to the people she shoots. She understands women, family, and love in a way that really shows through in her work and her artistic style never overshadows the moments. Jessica was our first choice- our only choice, really. I followed her work for years and had total faith in her which really made us comfortable, I wasn't worried that anything would be missed, I wasn't uncomfortable taking the posed photos, it was just perfect to have someone so warm with us on our special day to round up our massive family and wild bridal party. She was totally on board and up to the challenge I brought when I mentioned that I wanted to try smoke bombs. She brought a second shooter who was also so incredible and they worked until the very end of the show. My family kept saying they'd never seen anyone work so hard.. they are still talking about it. She was able to capture these moments between my husband and I that had me saying "I didn't even know she was there!" or "Look! She caught that face you make when you're proud of yourself for making me laugh so hard!" It really means the world to us and we will treasure these photos forever. We will treasure her forever, honestly, there must be some sort of bond that happens between wedding photographers and brides and grooms cause we just love this girl.

I enjoyed working with Jessica Charles Photography so much! I really can't say enough about her work and how easy it was to work with her. Jessica was super available for me during the planning process. We had a Skype session, since we lived in Spain while we were planning the wedding, and met her for tacos before the wedding. The photo package I selected included an engagement session with hair and makeup. I'm really glad we worked with her before the wedding because we felt very comfortable with her and had an idea of what to do. I think a big part of why I liked working with her so much is that she made me feel more at ease and less self conscious than I would normally while someone is taking my photo. A wedding is already stressful enough so I'm glad that the photography aspect of it was stress free! Jessica and her second shooter, Ginia, were extremely professional but also very easy going. I felt like I was with friends! During the ceremony and reception, they blended in perfectly and made everyone feel at ease. We received our photos yesterday and love them! I'm really happy that we chose to go with Jessica. Our wedding went by so quickly and luckily we have beautiful photographs to remember it forever!
