About

Hi! My name is Jessica.

I am a full-time wedding and lifestyle photographer, based in Minneapolis, St. Paul, Minnesota. My style is rooted in a crisp, clean, timeless technique, glowing with natural light. It’s my belief that when that natural light is combined with a couple in love, all I need to do is be in the right place at the right time – which is where my experience comes in. (All you need to do is have fun.)

Speaking of fun, that’s why I love what I do! Being a wedding photographer isn’t just my job, it’s my passion. Meeting a couple in love, being a part of their wedding day and helping them remember that day forever is more rewarding than I can begin to describe — so instead of describing it, I’ll let my photographs speak for themselves.

When you visit my website. You’ll find some of my favorite shots on the blog. And be sure to check the Featured Weddings for a start-to-finish look at a few couples’ special day.

Now that you know a little bit about me, I’d love to learn more about you, your wedding day plans, and how I can help you make that day last a lifetime.

Give me call or, if email is easier, that’s fine too. I would love to hear from you!

Reviews of Jessica Smith Photography

We did our fair share of online research before selecting our wedding photographer and can honestly say that choosing Jessica was one of the best decisions we made throughout the entire planning process. From the start Jessica was a joy to work with; there was an instant connection and comfortable feeling during our first meeting. She made a point to get to know who we were as a couple and how we wanted our engagement and wedding to be captured. She made sure that the day of the wedding was on schedule and flowed smoothly, that we got all of the shots we requested, and let me tell you, we LOVE them! Her photos are amazing and we would recommend her to anyone.

All we can say is WOW! From the moment my husband and I first met Jessica, we felt like old friends. We talked for almost 2 hours that first meeting, and it only felt like 15 minutes. She makes you feel very relaxed and comfortable which is so important when you spend the whole day with your photographer. From the engagement session at the park with our dog, all the way to the wedding day, she was very quick to keep in touch if you had a question, she is great at keeping our account updated, and she is incredibly open to any of your ideas. Even though she traveled to St. Cloud for our day, she was willing to make multiple stops to take pictures as well. Her attention to detail is why I looked into her in the first place, and the pictures we have attest to her passion for the couples she works with and the photography she loves! I recommend Jessica Smith Photography without reservation, and I truly look forward to using her again in the future as we grow our family. What a beautiful beginning she has given us!

Jessica Smith is the best! We were very excited to work with Jessica on our engagement and wedding pictures. When we viewed her gallery of images we loved her style of photography. She does an amazing job capturing the moments. Choosing to work with her was one of our easiest decisions of the wedding planning process. She’s incredibly nice and so sweet to work with. She’s also very organized. We met before the wedding to talk over the day of details, plan a shot list and made sure we got all the shots on our list before leaving. We loved our wedding pictures! It was so fun to see all the candid moments and small details captured so well. We’ve received numerous compliments not only on the photos but also from our family and bridal party on how great she was to work with. The morning of our wedding day there were terrible storm clouds and we were all worried about the weather, Jessica was such a calming presence being a wedding pro.

We’d recommend Jessica Smith to anyone looking for a photographer! :)
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
