He's super fun to work with! Jesse is creative and easy going. He has a great heart and even better rates! <3 He's very responsive when communicating... text, privet message, etc. He's an awesome person for adults and families. Kids love him too! He's someone I highly recommend to family an friends for various picture needs. He's a man of his word... down to the T.

I hired Jesse based on a good deal, good reviews on his Facebook page, and some nice photos in his online portfolio.
While I admit there were a handful I enjoyed, overall I was quite displeased with the photos we received. We received over 800 photos but I ended up only keeping 1/3. There were several photos that were ruined by the way they were cropped and edited. For example, the only photos of me alone with my mom and alone with my dad, our bodies were cropped partially out of the photos, making them unusable for anything really. Many of the posed family photos in the church were taken at a significant angle, which required me to go through and straighten them all. A huge majority of the photos were "edited" in the same manner, with the black vignette around the edges, which looked like an attempt at a quick edit, rather than taking time for quality. Against my better judgement, I trusted that he “knew which photos to get” and didn’t provide a must-have shot list, which resulted in several photos that I wanted not being captured. I also had an extremely detailed timeline for photos provided at the beginning of the day, which Jesse previously stated “Timeline looks awesome!” and then promptly tossed it aside at the church disregarding what I had set for time. He did whatever he wanted whenever, which led to our schedule being off and making it so other planned activities couldn't happen. Following the ceremony, I had to guide the family photo shots until a groomsman found the list I had made for Jesse discarded on the floor elsewhere in the church. Given this amongst other things, I found his behavior to be less-than professional. In addition, his contract states that photos would be received within 4-6 weeks, but I did not receive them until just over 8 weeks out. Though it was a great price for the length of time Jesse stayed, it was my one regret on my wedding day.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
