I’m the wedding photographer for couples who love out loud. Whose personalities are reflected not only in their lifestyle, but on their bodies, in their homes, and through their stories. I photograph the makers, the dreamers, the creators, and the rare birds.
I believe that ALL love is valid, important and deserves to be celebrated. I believe that every relationship is different from the last and warrants to be photographed in a way that feels genuine. You’re both loud, silly and affectionate? I’m on it. You’re both quiet and reserved? I got you. No formulaic poses or corny prompts....mostly. Sometimes the corny prompts get some great natural laughter ;)
My drive behind my business and philosophy really boils down to being passionate about love (wow, no kidding), photographing it in an honest way that reflects my couple’s unique relationship dynamics, and applying my love of color to your photographs so your photos reflect your memories in an accurate portrayal. Basically, you’ll look back at your photos 10 years from now and the memories will flood back to you and you’ll focus on the smiling faces, the tears, and the joy without being distracted by the weird brown filter on the photos that used to be trendy back in the day. Our memories are in color - don’t you want the photos from such a monumental moment in your life to match up with those happy memories?

I have wanted to use Jess as my wedding photographer for quite a few years (way before I was even thinking of getting married). I love that she embraces color and doesn’t tone down a lot of weddings which is the current trend right now. As soon as I got engaged, Jess was one of the first vendors I reached out to. Jess is so personable and makes being in front of a camera easy to do even if you are uncomfortable in front of a camera. She is super organized and was really helpful for our day of timeline. She is worth every penny! My fiancé and I are so happy with how our pictures turned out and my friends and family have all told me that they also loved the pictures. I am so happy I hired Jess and she was even great with suggestions for other vendors I was having a difficult time finding. I highly recommend!

Jess is the best. Period.
Jess is truly the best! I cannot say enough good about her. Not only is she amazing at what she does, but she also makes it so much fun and takes away a lot of the stress that comes with having photos of yourself taken. Her energy and vibe is super calming and it feels like you're just hanging with one of your besties -- even my bridal party noticed and felt the same. My wedding this past weekend happened to take place during a tropical storm which caused a TON of stress. The entire day poured and was so windy so naturally I was on edge since my wedding was set to be outside and I had big plans for photos outside. She helped me stay calm and worked her butt off throughout the chaos of the day. Jess is going to be my go-to photographer from now on and I CANNOT wait to work with her again!!!! Do yourself a favor and BOOK HER!!!

Perfect in every way!
Our experience with Jess was perfect in every way. She is professional and efficient all while being hilarious and an absolutely pleasure to work with! She handled every hurdle possible with such poise- between our dog literally running loose through an apple orchard during our engagement session, to family members trying to push for more photos during our wedding celebration you can trust Jess to keep her cool and keep your priorities as a couple first. She made us feel so comfortable and gave direction well beyond your standard poses. She is also super organized and we got our engagement session AND wedding sneak peaks earlier than expected. We are so thrilled we trusted her with our wedding photos and cannot recommend her enough!

1000 stars
I wish I could give 1000 stars to Jessica Manns Photography! Haven't even gotten my official sneak peak from my wedding on Saturday, but from what she showed us, I know its going to be absolute ***MAGIC***. Jess is an absolute delight. She calmed me down when I was stressed about some delays on the day of, she was supportive, helpful, communicative, FUN, professional and honestly felt like a long lost friend to me and my husband. Not to mention that our engagement session was FIRE. We put our trust in Jessica Manns Photography to capture one of the most important days of our lives and I am so happy that we did. Look no further. Jessica Manns Photography is 10/10.

Jess is a GEM.
Jess is an absolute GEM! We cannot recommend Jess as a wedding photographer enough. While we were initially drawn to Jess because of her stellar portfolio (her photos do speak for themselves), it was after our first connect that we knew we had to book her. When assembling a vendor team for your wedding, it's so incredibly important to book people you are comfortable with and who's personality match your vision for the day. (After all, you spend a lot of the day together!) For us, we knew we needed partners who were fun, friendly and who could read the room. It was very important to us that the photographer we booked knew when to give direction and knew when to blend into the background and capture the magic of the day. From the very beginning, it felt like Jess was an old friend. She was happy to do our engagement shoot at our house so we could include our farm animals. Throughout the whole planning process, she was amazingly responsive and thoughtful in her replies. She answered all our questions and was happy to provide recommendations. During our wedding day, she and her second shooter, Lauren were the perfect team -- seamlessly integrating into the day's celebrations. We will forever cherish the moments they captured and are so grateful for Jess's patience, guidance and friendship throughout the entire process. - Leah & Matt

Jess is the Best!
Nothing mattered to me more than photos when it came to planning our wedding. I reached out to literally dozens of photographers, and I am so so happy I found Jess. Her photos are gorgeous, but her portfolio will tell you that. The reason you should work with her is because of who she is. She is incredible at what she does, and a genuinely lovely person.
Like, this is not her first rodeo folks, and it shows, and it means you do not have to stress about anything related to the process of getting your day captured for eternity, because she has thought of it, and will prompt you and will, most importantly, tell you when you're being a crazy person, but in a really nice way that guides you to making a better timeline and and better choices. Nothing phases Jess, including dogs with too much energy and maybe a little bit of anxiety.
You need a great team of vendors to make a wedding happen, and in my opinion, choosing Jess to be part of that team, was one of the best decisions I made. Her guidance was invaluable and her authenticity as a person is the reason we felt as comfortable as we did and therefore got amazing photos. I'd choose her 100x over.

The best!!!!
Jess was the best part of our day. She was so organized and thoughtful, and the questionnaire that she sends is filled with things I never would've thought of myself that made the day even better. She really cares about her clients and will easily become one of your favorite people. She is funny and calm and always has such creative and fun ideas for pictures. She really captured our essence as a couple during our engagement shoot, and then REALLY captured the essence of our relationships with our friends and family at the wedding. Her pictures are perfect because they show who you genuinely are, instead of just formal prom poses. Honestly i was so nervous leading up to everything, and as soon as Jess got to the venue to start shooting I immediately felt better. You know she has your back. We love you Jess! Highly highly HIGHLY recommend. She is amazing!

Best vendor to work with
I rarely write reviews so for me to write a review is a big deal. My husband and I cannot express enough how much Jess had played a huge role in our big day. Not only did she accommodate multiple times with engagement pictures and with covid, she did everything so seamlessly and professionally. She created a timeline for our wedding that not only myself and the bridal party followed but as well as all the other vendors. Our family and friends have expressed multiple times how amazing Jess was and how great it was having her as an addition to our day! She was so quick to respond to any and all emails or chats through Instagram. You can truly tell Jess is passionate about her job and we were so happy with literally everything she did. Since we’re not in the wedding industry we did not have a clue on exactly where or what to spend money on first. If I was starting over I would definitely book Jess first thing. Especially huge shoutout for not making me feel like a crazy person when “wedding guests” are out of line lol. Love Kevin and Tori 💕

Look no further! An angel!
Weddings are magical. If you’re looking for that magic to be permanently encapsulated in its entirety - look no further! Jessica is not only the kindest soul that I have ever met, but she is a literal gem of a human being. Like an old friend you love seeing again and again, she creates a safety net for you and your significant other through her thoroughness and creativity. Throughout the chaos of wedding planning, we were confident in knowing that Jess had walked us through our day and we were comfortable with what to expect from the timeline she provided us. Words cannot be used to describe how absolutely perfect our photos were (even our sneak peeks!)
Give your photographer creative freedom, especially if you don’t know what you’re doing (we did! We don’t regret it!)
If you feel that you’re “too awkward” for photos, I can reassure you 1000000% that Jessica will prove your theory wrong! Her fun-loving demeanor will put you and your loved one at immediate ease. The best part of her work is not only her attention to every detail, but, the comfort in knowing that the happiest day of our lives was perfectly preserved in time through the most loving person we have ever met.

Hire Jess! You won't regret it! LGBTQIA Friendly
Jess and her team are worth every penny. her style is vibrant and highlights the inherent light and colors in the space instead of filters or vignette effects. We don't like the washed out look that is frequently popular and wanted the colorful day we were planning to be apparent. Her style was just what we wanted. Jess was great not just at the photos but also guiding us through the process - feedback on timeline for the day, answers on industry standards, and generally keeping us on schedule with our decisions. She's got a great system going so that by day of she has everything she needs and you don't need to make any more choices. She really put us at ease and hanging out with her was a great time that happened to end in great photos. Would recommend for LGBTQIA weddings - she never messed up our pronouns or fell back into gendered language. In general, you'll get more than a great photographer - you get peace of mind because Jess will make sure no detail is left un thought of and she's so supportive in person. She's so communicative about expectations and she was always responsive to communication, so we never had to follow up or wonder. we got our first sneak peak photos in a week from the wedding in the busiest wedding season in years. a true icon!

Jessica is an amazing photographer who always serves her clients well. She's fun to be around and is easy to work with on wedding days! Her photos are always beautiful!
I am so lucky to work with someone like Jess! She is an awesome photographer and never fails to come up with creative, inspiring work whether it is a personal project or commercial job. I know that I can always rely on her to be focused and driven during a wedding or shoot and it's awesome to be able to do my own thing while she does hers. It's always great working with an associate photographer who knows how to keep things under control and manage herself and her own time so I don't have to keep checking in. She has a great eye for color and lines, and her portraits are emotive and beautiful. I love working with her and absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to work with another photographer!
