The BEST experience!

We could not have asked for a kinder, more genuine photographer to capture our precious moments. Jessie shot our engagement photos and wedding, and we could not have been happier. She made us completely comfortable behind the camera from the very beginning. Every one of her photos seriously look like a work of art. She is so talented and her artistry really shines through in all of her work. Jessie captured both candids and formals at the wedding that conveyed all of the many emotions of the day. THE BEST!!!

Jessie is simply the best!

Jessie was a joy to work with! It was like talking to a dear friend from our initial conversations through our album ordering. She made great suggestions for the wedding, offered vendor contacts and really soothed any fears we had regarding how to work the flow of our day. She was flexible with our major changes required for the pandemic and worked safely and diligently to make sure we still had beautiful wedding images. She put us at ease during photos and the result was lovely and natural photographs. It was such a wonderful experience. Make sure you order an album as well, it is more beautiful than we could have imagined! I would not hesitate to book Jessie and her team, I recommend them highly!

Sweetest Photographer & AMAZING work!!!

I stumbled upon Jessie's work on a friend's instagram and fell in love with all the photos. I quickly reached out to Jessie and asked her to work with me on my wedding day. Jessie was extremely sweet and professional from the first conversation. I encourage Jessie to take full reign of our wedding day, as my husband and I had no clue what we wanted. Jessie stepped up to the challenge and we are beyond thrilled with our sneak previews!!! Our families are excited to see the entire album and mentioned how lovely Jessie was throughout our wedding day. I am super thankful to have Jessie by my side and recommending her to anyone looking for a fine art photographer. Hopefully I have another chance to work with her again for any future family photo sessions ;)

The perfect choice!

One of the best decisions that we made when planning our daughter's wedding was getting Jessie to be our photographer. I knew she was the one after our first phone conversation. She just became part of our family that day! She made everything so special and easy! She captured moments that are treasures! The pictures are absolutely amazing and perfect! I cannot even imagine the day without her now. Best decision ever.

An amazing experience and beautiful pictures

I cannot say enough good things about Jessie!! She was so intentional from the beginning to make sure everything was exactly how I wanted. She took the time to talk to me earlier on about details and timelines. My wedding day was a dream and she was able to capture all the beautiful details of it. I have never felt so comfortable around someone I had only consulted with over the phone! I specifically remember her asking me “if this was the dream I envisioned” and that it was. Jessie truly gave me the best pictures and memories and I am forever grateful. I highly recommend her and definitely will use her again in the future!!

Talented, Beautiful, Genuine, Relaxed

We used Jessie for our engagement and wedding photos and are absolutely thrilled with her work. We love her photography style and personality, so she was a true pleasure to work with. Our engagement photos were absolutely beautiful. She is genuinely kind and calm which makes it very easy to relax around her. She was very organized on the day of our wedding. It is impressive how she alternates between 3 different cameras for a digital and film experience. She is prompt to respond to text and email. She had wonderful ideas for our engagement photos, such as outfits/time of day etc and our wedding such as suggesting an exit with ribbon wands - yet, she was always respectful of our likes/dislikes. We loved working with her and love how she captures so many beautiful moments. Her style is candid, dreamy, and elegant. HIGHLY recommend!

She put up with our many requests for photos and made every effort to make sure we got exactly what we were looking for our wedding. She takes pictures in both digital and film, and gave us full access to all of the photos she took. If you're looking for someone you can count on to take amazing photos for your big day, I would highly recommend Jessie for any occasion and especially for a wedding!
