About

As a viewer-reveler-dreamer myself it is my ultimate goal that I could tell through imagery the story of your wedding day. Catching the dreams, hopes, emotions, and JOY of your day in a timeless yet artistic way is my favorite part of this job. My hope is that you will have gorgeous wedding photos that capture intimate details, that you feel so confidently beautiful on your wedding day, and that because of that confidence I would get to capture the TRUE emotion of the day.

You can expect me to not over pose you. I enjoy shooting lifestyle or photojournalistic photography, which is a fancy way of saying reality. Of course, I always make it a point to capture the more traditional family portraits for posterity. I am skilled at teaching my couples how to capture the most becoming version of themselves, and make sure to put my clients at ease in front of the camera because confidence is beautiful.

How exactly do I put my clients at ease? They know me. Trust begins with a relationship starting with the first ‘Hello.’ My thought is that engagement sessions help build a strong foundation. The time I spend in an engagement session not only documents the fresh commitment made by the couple but is also an invaluable tool for my photography of the wedding day. This photo shoot allows me to learn how the couple relates to one another, what a true happy smile looks like, and how the couple comes across on camera. We will even get to have a quick modeling lesson session together. (Added bonus? It’s FUN!). On the flip side my couples get to know me during this time and we just get to have fun together. I have met so many sweet people through my business and feel privledged to call many of them friend. This is why all of our wedding packages include an engagement session.

You can expect to meet with me in person at least three times before your wedding date unless we are traveling to shoot your wedding. (In that case we will be seeing alot of each other via facetime!)

I love LOVE! I find it a privilege to capture the intimate exchanges, the sweet moments, and the beautiful details of your wedding day for you to have as memory for years to come. Seedling Photography seeks to create beautiful images. You have a beautiful love. Match made in heaven.

Exceptional

Jess is so talented and so professional but is also so willing to work with different visions and styles. She is so personable but was such a godsend on our wedding day- she kept things moving along and helped corral whoever we needed behind the scenes but never allowed us to worry about a timeline on the wedding day because she had everything covered. She is so upbeat and present for more than just the wedding day. She went above and beyond before and after our wedding day and I can’t imagine hiring a better person to be present and capture our most special moments.

Made our day perfect!

Jess is absolutely amazing! Not only is she an amazing photographer but she has an awesome personality. She made our day so smooth and perfect. We received our pictures fast and the quality was amazing. We also received a large amount of pictures capturing every second of our day. We seriously are so happy we chose her as our photographer. Highly recommend!!!!

Amazing!!!

One of the best decisions I made in my wedding vendors was choosing Jess as our photographer. From the first meeting with her we instantly felt comfortable and were very impressed by her work. The timeline she made us for our photographs was the one we used to plan out the rest of our day of events! Jess was always reachable and constantly checked in to make sure things were going well. We got our gallery back so quickly and couldn't believe how magical the pictures were. We have gotten so many compliments on her talent from guests and friends we have shared the pictures with. Her husband Dave was the best assistant on the day of and also helped to capture some amazing shots. I loved her so much I even booked a separate shoot with her on my own! :) Jess, our day wouldn't have been the same without you capturing it. Thank you so much--we love you!

We had interviewed a few photographers before we met with Jess. As soon as we met her and saw her work, we knew she'd be perfect for our wedding. She has a fantastic personality and is very professional. She found ways to make my 2 year old nephew smile for the camera after a long day... and everyone in the family told me how great she was when taking the different family pictures. We'd had some issues with the venue during the reception, and Jess jumped right in and helped out so I had nothing to stress about. We really can't thank her enough. The pictures turned out absolutely amazing and we highly recommend her!

When my husband and I got engaged we both agreed that our photographer was the one vendor that we would be most picky about. However, after meeting Jess one time and only meeting with one other photographer before her, she made our search so easy and was exactly what we wanted! From the very first time I met her, there was an immediate connection and I knew she was going to be our perfect photographer! My husband wasn't able to come to the original meeting but after I called him to tell him about it he said he could tell by the tone of my voice that she was the one and how excited I was! Jess worked with us and made every step of the process so easy and fun. We took our engagement pictures in February and she was kind enough to wake up early to get the beautiful early light and split the time between two locations we had chosen! Our pictures were amazing and we couldn't wait to see what she could do for our wedding. Well, we were not disappointed! On our wedding day, her husband Dave was also there. The two of them work together so well and make every person they are photographing feel comfortable! Our families and wedding party absolutely loved them and they were so fun to be with the entire day! The two of them caught every moment of the day while also being practically hidden! I vividly remember during our ceremony thinking to myself "wow I don't even know where Jess and Dave are" but knew they were getting some awesome shots. They made sure to photograph every part of our day and got all the photos we wanted plus some we didn't even know we wanted! By the morning after our wedding, we had AMAZING previews! The rest of our photos were ready in a timely manner and both the photos and video turned out perfectly! It was hard to believe such beautiful photos were of our wedding day! Jess also made a gorgeous album for us and was so easy to work with to get it perfect before sending it to be printed. Yes, long review, but Jess and Dave deserve all the praise! HIGHLY R

We are so happy we hired Jess to be our photographer! She was so easy to work with and very enthusiastic on our special day! The photos are stunning and she caught every special moment we wanted. She provided us with a thumb drive and internet access to our photos. We have already discussed setting up a trash-the-dress session with her in the spring. Can't wait to work with her again!

Jess was absolutely wonderful! She worked with me and my husband's very busy schedules to fit in an engagement shoot in the freshly fallen snow. She was amazing the day of our wedding - making sure all the details were captured beautifully! I loved all of the hundreds of perfectly edited pictures we got back after the wedding and she was so great in helping us design our gorgeous wedding album. She was so sweet and really listened to us and helped us figure out what we wanted (even though we didn't know how to explain it ourselves!) Thank you Jess! We will treasure our pictures forever!

I wish I could give Jess MANY more than 5 stars. First of all, she is an absolute pleasure to work with. From the engagement shoot, to planning the day-of timeline, to the wedding day itself, Jess went above and beyond all expectations. She is a wonderful, inviting, bubbly person to have with you through every step of the way. My husband and I definitely needed this encouragement, as neither one of us thought we were photogenic. Jess has delivered nothing but beautiful, treasured pictures so far and I cannot wait for the final package because I just know it will blow me away. Prepare to be blown away with Jess!

Jess Seed and the Seedling Photography team did an AMAZING job shooting my church wedding and backyard reception! My husband and I are both introverts, and I was nervous that being in front of a camera all day was going to be overwhelming - but Jess and the team did a fantastic job capturing all the portraits that we wanted in an efficient and professional manner, and put us at ease in the process. Rather than having a photographer hovering constantly and 'chasing me down the aisle' - something I was actually nervous of prior to finding Seedling - we had a team who literally helped us time-manage our reception when we needed it, but otherwise let us do 'our thing' and captured SO MANY treasured candids along the way! The turn-around time was even faster than expected, and the way Jess delivers the pictures is second-to-none in the industry. She is so sweet to work with, and I was really impressed with her professional eye: the lighting was less-than-ideal all day (dark church, bright day, and constantly changing lighting of an evening outdoor reception), and the pictures all turned out perfectly. I could not be happier with the finished product, and I will continue to recommend her to anyone I know in the area! Thanks Jess and Seedling Photography!!
