I hired Jessie for engagement photography and she was such a joy. She was totally willing to work with me to make sure it was the experience I wanted. She was knowledgable and happy to speak up when she thought the lighting or composition was better in a different area, but also very willing to make something work when I had specific ideas. She made my fiancé feel comfortable during the photographs - no easy feat! He hates having his photo taken, but Jessie had good advice and a joyous attitude. The final photographs are lovely. Everyone who has seen them has gushed over how beautiful they are. I cannot recommend her enough!

My husband and I hired Jessie for both our engagement and wedding photos. We both realized early on during the wedding planning process that the photography component was the most important to us, and therefore were going to hire someone who not only took great photos but someone we felt was the right fit. Hiring Jessie for our photographs was the best decision we made! From the very first moment we saw her website we were blown away by her photographs, her talent and passion for photography are evident in every photograph she takes. She took the time to get to know us and made contact with us via email/phone calls. We were a bit nervous for our engagement shoot but Jessie was very welcoming and made us feel extremely comfortable in front of a camera. She was an absolute dream to work with and made that day a memorable experience. On our wedding day she once again went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable in front of the camera. She was also extremely organized and even created a shot list of all individuals we wanted to take pictures with after our ceremony in order to make a timely and smooth transition into our reception. When we received our wedding photos, we were blown away by what she was able to capture and were immediately transported back to that special day. Jessie was able to capture the essence of that day and we will forever look back at these photos with the fondest of memories.

My husband and I can’t stop praising Jessie with compliments as we show our friends and family our wedding pictures. She superseded our expectations. I met Jessie through a mutual friend, who’s also a photographer. She advised me not skimp on the wedding pictures. As she said at the end of the day the moment goes by so fast the only thing you are left with are your wedding pictures as memories. In our initial conversation, Jessie patiently listened to our story, details of our wedding ambiance and the components that were important to have photographed. She’s such an uplifting and positive person who makes you feel super comfortable from the start. After our first call I was so excited and instantly knew we were hiring her. Jessie immediately sent me sample galleries of weddings she had photographed. Her originality and professionalism stand out in her work. She does an amazing job of telling a story of the special event.
A month or so before the wedding, it got real. I was asking Jessie questions left and right and very graciously she responded promptly to all my emails. On the day of our wedding, Jessie arrived an hour earlier than scheduled. We had a couple of hiccups before our first look and the ceremony. Jessie responded with such ease and coolness, “These things happen at weddings”. Oh my gosh, my panic level dropped to zero. Jessie’s efficiency and organization was impeccable. She was working from beginning to end. She gave us great instructions, which look so natural in the photos, and took priceless candid shots of us and our guests. Jessie really loves what she does and goes the extra mile. We had her all over the place, from walking to the beach for our couple’s pictures, back to the venue then back out to the beach for sunset photos, back to the venue and back outside for our staged grand exit. Even as she was packing up to leave, she took out her camera to capture a shot of my 92-year-old step-father and I dancing. Love her for that!!
As you may imagine, we were anxious to see our pictures after the wedding. A week after our wedding, she shared a sneak peek. We felt like were looking at a magazine photo shoot. We looked incredible. Jessie is truly an expert of her trade. On our one-month anniversary, she shared our full wedding gallery. OMG, watching the slideshow with my husband sparked an emotional explosion! We still look at the slideshow and pictures and tear up. I wish we had other big events to hire Jessie again. Please don’t hesitate to hire Jessie. She flexible, creative, easy-going, attentive, and one badass female photographer! You are the best Jessie! Thank you!!! Much love, Ruth and Brian
