​Jess is an amazing person and an excellent photographer! Jess came highly recommended to me and I know why. Prior to photoshoot, Jess was a great communicator and very flexible with our needs. We were only going to be in town for a few days and wanted to take engagement photos accompanied by fall foliage. A week prior to our photoshoot, we scheduled a phone call with Jess where she provided ideas for photoshoot location and advice on what to wear. She even suggested we meet earlier in the day to ensure that we had the perfect natural lighting. On the day of the photoshoot, Jess was prompt and arrive early! She did a great job at posing my fiance and I without making us feel awkward or uncomfortable. The turnaround to receive the photos was super quick! Just a few days. Overall, we loved working Jess and would love to work with her again some day!

I can't possibly thank or recommend Jessica Knighton Photography enough. Jess was WONDERFUL. From the start, we really clicked with her personally and we could tell she understood not just the kind of photos we wanted, but the kind of values we were trying to infuse into every aspect of our wedding day.​ There are lots of talented photographers out there, but Jess's easygoing personality and her commitments to sustainability, community, and celebrating diversity set her apart and made her a natural fit for us.

Planning a big wedding means you'll basically be in one of two moods for several months: 1) freaked out and drowning in details or 2) thrilled and grateful you get to do something so special with the one you love. Jess ALWAYS kept us grounded in Mood #2. She clearly loves what she does, and her enthusiasm for celebrating all the weird, wonderful diversity of love in the world is infectious.

And the PHOTOS! What can I say about them? Looking at my wedding photos makes me feel like there's a big warm bubble of sunlight rising up inside my chest. Your wedding day goes by really quickly. Everybody knows that, but it's still surprising. At the end of the night you're exhausted and sweaty and your face hurts from laughing and crying and you're still like, "wait, did that really happen?". That's where the photos come in. It did. It did really happen. And when you've got a photographer like Jess, you don't just get evidence that it happened, you get a story that preserves that day in every little and big and spontaneous and planned and funny and poignant detail. We're gonna look at these photos for years to come, and our kids are gonna laugh at our ridiculous clothes, and we're gonna tell great stories about that bright, beautiful day. THANK YOU, Jess-- and to anybody considering hiring her, if you've read this far, stop considering and do it. You're gonna love working with her.

Planning a mid-sized wedding that fit our style involved a lot of planning and, of course, tons of decisions big and small. Hiring Jess to be our photographer turned out to be one of the very best of those hundreds of decisions, and we're so glad we got the chance to work with her! Specifically, on our wedding day Jess was the all-star. She went above and beyond. The photos were high-quality and she had everything very well planned out. Shealways was a step ahead and helped make the evening flow smoothly by coordinating with others -- from venue staff to the DJ. But she was also friendly and engaging with our guests, and not only helped capture our treasured memories, but truly helped add to them. Of the many decisions you'll make, we think you'll be glad you chose Jess!
