Highly Recommend!

I had the pleasure of working with Jess on a recent wedding, and I couldn’t be more impressed with her work. She captured every special moment beautifully, blending seamlessly into the day while ensuring that nothing was missed. As a wedding vendor, her professionalism and easygoing nature was such a joy to collaborate with. I highly recommend Jess Lance Photo for anyone looking for exceptional wedding photography.

Perfect way to capture memories

Jess is a dream to work with. She's kind and an excellent communicator. She's also a wonderful artist. I had the absolute pleasure of working with her for my engagement photos and wedding, and I genuinely cannot imagine working with anyone else. Jess put both my husband and I at ease-- which is no easy task-- and was able to capture some truly beautiful moments that we will cherish for years to come. Despite working outside with us on cold and windy days, she was constantly professional and an absolute delight to work with. We cannot recommend her enough!!

Top notch!

If I could give Jess more than 5 stars I would. Jess and her second shooter made our day run so much smoother. Jess was so kind, bubbly, officiant, and fun to work with. She has an amazing eye for shots and she has great communication skills! Jess went above and beyond and even helped out with wedding errands that are not in her job description in order to help us out. (My maitre d’ was no where to be found all day for my wedding). If you book with Jess you will not regret it!

A wonderful experience!

Jess was our photographer for our wedding in August 2023 at the Branford House. We had a wonderful experience from start to finish with her! She met with us ahead of time to discuss options, her process, and for her to get to know us a little bit more. She was very communicative leading up to our wedding day. On the day of, she and her second photographer Mike arrived on time and were wonderful the entire day. They were both light-hearted and yet organized in their approach and made us feel at ease - this was especially helpful and important to me because I am not a fan of having my picture taken at all :) Our officiant was quite rude and caused us some stress (including while we were taking photos with Jess) and she handled this with ease and was a huge help in handling this otherwise stressful situation. We received the photos approximately 8 weeks later and they were beautiful! Ordering prints has also been a breeze. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone planning a wedding in the area!

Creative, detail oriented and so easy to work with! Stunning photos.

We got married on 9/10/22 and working with Jess was easily one of the best parts of our special day. As we started planning, Jess was so helpful and provided us with generalized timeline to start with. As the time got closer to our actual wedding day, she gave us a digital form to use to highlight significant parts of our wedding day and portraits to photograph, and allow us to finalize our timeline. The day of, the excitement and energy coming from Jess was perfect. You can really tell she loves what she does, and really puts so much thought into all of her photos. She is super easy to work with and helped to guide us through all our photos and special moments of the day. We were actually running a little bit ahead of schedule, so she was able to add a few more “unplanned” shots which were phenomenal. We absolutely love her creativity and in the moment thinking, she is so detail oriented! We also worked with Courtney as an additional photographer for the day, and the teamwork and communication between them both was great. We can’t wait to see the rest of the gallery!

Perfect Experience and Perfect Photos

Jess was the perfect photographer for our wedding! She such a joy to work with and our photos turned out amazing! She really makes everyone feel comfortable both in front of the camera and with the day in general. She was so easygoing and calm both leading up to and during the wedding, so we didn't feel rushed, but we easily got all of the photos we wanted. Multiple family and bridal party members have told us how much they liked her as well! Our photos perfectly captured our wedding day, so looking at them we feel transported right back! Hiring Jess as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made in our overall perfect day!

A Dream to Work With

Jess photographed my small pandemic wedding ceremony last year and my larger rescheduled reception this year. She did an amazing job with both. Both sets of photos capture the day perfectly, She is professional, kind, responsive, and overall a dream vendor to work with. I cannot recommend her enough.

Easiest vendor to work with

There are MANY great qualities of JessLance but one that stands out is that she was always ten steps ahead of me and always on top of things. I never had to remind her of things or ask her any questions because she already had it done or figured out. This was super important to me because I am a very type A person! She was very accommodating and always super sweet anytime you need to speak with her. Absolute delight to work with her. Our pictures came out beautiful. So many beautiful moments captured. Also, DEFINITELY get the wedding albums! You pick the pictures and she organizes them into books for you. We bought one for our parents and can’t wait for our parents to see them! It honestly felt like she became a friend. She is a vendor I will honestly miss interacting with ;(

Perfect photographer for our wedding day!

I'm so glad we picked Jess as our wedding photographer! My husband and I aren't the most comfortable in front of the camera but Jess made the process so easy going for us. She made us feel so comfortable and was very flexible throughout the planning process. We couldn't be happier with how our pictures turned out! She captured our wedding day perfectly.

we love our photos from Jess!

Jess was simply amazing from start to finish. We liked her immediately from the first phone call - she was easy to talk to and patiently answered all of our questions. She was quick to reply to every email or phone call. She took both our engagement photos and wedding photos and we love them so much. We haven't taken any formal photos in the past, but Jess was able to make us feel as comfortable as possible throughout the process. I felt like she really captured the happiness and the energy of our wedding and that came across in the photos which is exactly what we wanted. There was a lot of stress leading up to our big day and our wedding didn't happen exactly as we planned (thanks, COVID), but our photos exceeded every expectation and turned out amazing. Thank you Jess!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
