Jessica Lapp was the photographer of our dreams

Jessica was the photographer of our DREAMS. I can't even fully put into words how incredible she was to work with - she was so kind, accommodating, helpful. She made us feel so comfortable and the process SO fun. The pictures are STUNNING.

The kindest and most loving photographer

I'm not biased when I say that Jess is the BEST wedding photographer you could choose. Her care and intentionality for her clients goes above and beyond just your wedding day!

As a fellow wedding photographer, I was very particular about the type of personality I felt comfortable working with on my own wedding day and Jess could not have been the more PERFECT choice. Jess is easygoing and will immediately set you at ease whether it's on the phone, at your engagement session, or the day of your wedding. She has the most calming and steady presence about her and is insanely gifted at working quickly while maintaining an awareness of the emotions that are happening around her and being ready to capture it all. I was able to trust her implicitly when capturing the authentic emotion and feeling of our day. This is no small feet when there is the extra pressure of working for a fellow photographer and she knocked it out of the park! Jess truly made our entire experience so unique and effortless.

It's been 3 months and my husband and I still talk about how wonderful Jess and her assistant were throughout our entire day. All of our other vendors agreed as well!

Whatever you do, don't let the opportunity of booking with her pass you by! We love you Jess!!

Absolutely SAVED the day! Gorgeous photos!

The morning of my wedding day, my dream photographer (through a different company) had an emergency and couldn’t attend. He had reached out to Jess to see if she could shoot my wedding, which was 2 hours away from where she was, but that she was coming. Yes, I was nervous because I didn’t know her work, but as soon as she walked in (not late at all!!) and started talking to me, I was incredibly grateful for her warm, super sweet demeanor and already excited to see what she was going to capture. I am SOOOOO happy, not only that she was able to be there to capture my wedding, but everything she did throughout the day, the way made sure she knew every persons name and interested with them and the quality of her photos!!! I cannot stop looking at them! Something that could’ve been a disaster, was made completely incredible and fun with her personality and professionalism. Everyone is RAVING about how beautiful the photos are and bridal party/guests keep mentioning how fantastic she was! THANK YOU JESS!!!!!!

Beautiful wedding photos!

I could not have asked for a better photographer for our wedding. My husband and I always feel so awkward when trying to take photos. When we met her, I immediately felt comfortable around her. Jess did an amazing job making us feel both natural and at ease during the engagement shoot and then at the wedding. Every photo turned out beautifully. Her style is classic. It’s a mistake if you don’t book her!

More of a friend than a vendor...

Jess is fantastic! She’s so sweet and so professional! She is on time, fully present and prepared for everything. She even can button super hard wedding dress buttons when needed! Her photography has such a classic vibe that the pictures are timeless. She quickly replies to emails and quickly sends out albums - just a day over two weeks for 1050 pictures after our wedding. Jess is super easy to work with and tells you just what you need to do for great looking pictures! I’ve loved having Jess alongside with me during this process and wouldn’t have wanted anyone else! The examples of her work speak volumes, and the reviews compliment her kindness and compassion. Book with Jess!

Beautiful photographs by a beautiful photographer. Jessica is quiet and almost unseen but snapping perfect photographs of our big day. Also included an engagement shoot, which we are glad we did. Photos arrived well packaged and quickly. Flexible and professional. She clearly loves what she does and dies it fantastically well! No regrets. Would hire again for photography needs.

We had a wonderful time at our engagement shoot with Jess! She is so sweet and easy to work with. We were nervous about getting our pictures taken, but she made it so natural and fun - and the pictures turned out amazing! We can't wait to work with Jess for our wedding - highly highly recommended!
