Working with Jessica was hands-down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! She shot both our engagement session and our wedding day, and we could not be happier with the results.

From the very beginning, Jessica was an excellent communicator—extremely organized, punctual, and effortless to work with. She made the entire planning process seamless and stress-free. She has a wonderful gift for making you feel completely relaxed in front of the camera while still providing excellent direction. She kept us laughing the entire time, which made everything feel natural and joyful.

The final photos are absolutely stunning. She captured a perfect mix of gorgeous posed portraits and breathtaking, emotional candid moments that will be treasured memories for the rest of our lives. If you want a photographer who is both talented and a consummate professional, hire Jessica immediately! Thank you, Jessica, for capturing our memories so perfectly. ❤️

Jessica was a joy to work with! She was very clear with her process and options! She was flexible with us not knowing exactly what we wanted right away. Jessica was responsive and answered all our questions in a timely fashion. On our wedding day, she brought an efficient and positive, chill energy- which was exactly what we were looking for. She helped us stick to our timeline and rolled with the punches when things got off a bit. She never added a stressful energy to the day. Our pictures are vibrant and beautiful. I was shocked with how fast we got them back! She captured candid and staged pictures with ease. Highly recommend Jessica!!!

Jessica captured so many beautiful and memorable photos on our special day! She is a joy to work with and her work speaks for itself!

Working with Jessica was great. We were doing a small ceremony, and just needed a half day. She was completely professional and the interview process was a real contribution to our whole event - she had us think of some things we hadn't considered that we then considered and took care of. The questions she asked really helped us get the day organized so it would be really smooth and we could just get married and enjoy being with our friends and families. We were totally ready for pictures when they happened. We got them done quickly. We were thrilled with how they came out. 10/10 recommend Jessica.

We are beyond grateful for the incredible work you did capturing our wedding day! From start to finish, you perfectly documented every emotion, detail, and special moment in such a beautiful way. Your talent and creativity went above and beyond our expectations. Not only were you professional and easy to work with, but your energy and passion truly added something magical to the day. You made us feel so comfortable, and it’s evident in the natural, candid moments you captured. We can’t stop looking at the photos — each one takes us right back to the joy and love we felt that day. It’s clear that photography is your gift, and we’re so thankful to have these stunning memories to cherish forever. Thank you for being such an essential part of our celebration

Jessica was the perfect choice for my husband and my wedding photos. We met with her a few times prior to our wedding day and I could immediately tell she was listening to our wishes and creating a timeline that fit our needs.
On our wedding day, Jessica was a calming presence and helped us to feel at ease. She helped us with natural posing as well as getting numerous candid photos. She was excellent with our family photos as well that included numerous young children. Her patience was much appreciated!
When we received our wedding photos a few weeks later, Jessica had captured the moments of our wedding perfectly. She helped us to rally every single one of our wedding guests for a large group photo, which is one of my favorites that she captured! Jessica made my husband and I look like our true selves, and I can't thank her enough for allowing us to relive one of the best days of our lives over and over again through her photography.

Jess is an incredible professional and managed the whole process! She dealt with divorced parents with ease and helped us get all the pictures we wanted of our wedding. Never stress us out and gave us an incredible set of pictures.

If you are looking for a photographer in the Asheville area, I highly recommend Jessica Merithew photography! She did an amazing job capturing my wedding and was so easy to work with! My husband and I definitely are not big fans of the camera but she made us feel super comfortable and we ended up loving all the photos she took of us! We also appreciate Jessica’s flexibility and are so glad she was still able to capture our day even though our wedding had to be moved to Charlotte due to Hurricane Helene. She also had our photos ready in no time! If you book her, you won’t regret it!

Jessica was recommended to us by a friend who is a local photographer where we live. Since we were getting married out of town (where we grew up), we needed someone who serviced that area. From the minute we first met Jessica, we were blown away by her professionalism, kindness, and flexibility.
Our wedding wasn't traditional. We both had parents unexpectedly pass away this year, so we decided to have a small, private ceremony at our parents home with more dogs as guests than humans. Not only that, but two weeks before the ceremony took place, Hurricane Helene devastated the small town where it was taking place, and even more devastation occurred where Jessica resided. Throughout it all, Jessica was very transparent and communicative and ultimately decided that she would still be able to capture our special day, even through these challenging circumstances.
We were blown away by the results! Jessica navigated through fallen trees and hurricane chaos, and captured the most beautiful day. Thanks to her, our year was blessed with a bit a hope and joy that we all needed.
Thank you, Jessica - we absolutely loved working with you!

Jessica did such a wonderful job photographing our wedding! She was attentive, organized, and easy to work with! My husband and I had never been photographed professionally before so weren't quite sure what to expect, but she made us feel very comfortable. She gave us helpful suggestions, but also let us fall into natural poses. She knew the property at our venue, Hawkesdene, very well and took us to the best locations for certain lighting. The photographs look amazing and Jessica really does go above and beyond throughout the entire process! We are so thankful she captured our wedding day and would definitely recommend her!
