About

Smile Darling Photography is a Massachusetts wedding and engagement photographer. My goal is to make you feel as comfortable as possible, because guess what, if you feel awkward, your pictures will look awkward. And no one wants that! The experience you have with me during your engagement session, or on your wedding day, shouldn't feel staged or forced, it should feel natural and playful. I will be there through some of the most intimate moments of your lives, and I don't want to be just another vendor. Because guess what? I can promise you I'll be the one helping bustle your dress and bringing you snacks!​

Absolutely amazing!!

We cannot say enough good things about Jess. She made our day beyond perfect. We were looking for someone who would match our laid back vibe, which she totally did. We wanted someone who would make taking pictures feel natural and not forced. You spend a lot of your wedding day with the photographer, and having someone who will laugh with you and make the day better was exactly what we wanted. My husband was worried it would feel like “paparazzi” but he even enjoyed working with Jess! We absolutely loved the pictures she took and have received so many compliments on them. If your looking for a hard worker, great communicator, and all around great person she is absolutely the person to go with. We look forward to using her in the future.

Amazing photos of our day!!

Jessica was truly the photographer of our dreams! We could not recommend her enough. She took our engagement photos as well and she was an absolute dream to work with. My husband and I would not normally consider ourselves to be photogenic and are generally awkward in front of a camera. While working with Jessica, all of that went away. I really see a representation of how incredibly happy we were at our wedding when I look at the photos that she took. Our wedding was delayed due to Covid and we were so lucky that she was able to adjust to our new wedding date. Overall, she is so kind, helpful, easy to work with, and so good at her job!

Gorgeous, captivating photos to immortalize your day

Jessica is my hero. She is so so so talented and made my day (days) come to life. I got married twice - small covid wedding followed by my larger vow renewal, and she was with me every step of the way. She is responsive, supportive, fun to be around, and better yet - she is amazing at what she does. She knows exactly where to position us for gorgeous photos, how to stand in the light, and how to pose so that we don't look too rehearsed. She diligently fluffed my dress and fixed my husband's boutonniere so that it looked just right in the photos. She is so talented and I could not imagine having anyone else take our pictures. Please hire her!!!

She made us feel comfortable right in front of the camera. Our engagement pictures and wedding photos came out amazing and we are in love with them. I would highly recommend Jessica for any event you are planning.

Best Decision Ever

Jessica is probably the only person I would trust with capturing the most important parts of my life. When I started wedding planning the first thing I looked for after booking my venue and date was a photographer, because I knew that finding a photographer that I trusted with such a big moment in my life was going to be so important. We chose to include engagement pictures in our package, just so we could get comfortable with Jess and how she works and it was honestly the best decision! We were super nervous before we met up with her and within two minutes we were laughing and my face hurt from smiling so much! Jess is so amazing and our pictures came out better than I ever could have imagined. When our wedding came around Jess took charge and helped with our timeline and made sure that all the pictures I wanted were captured. Booking Jess was the best decision I made when it came to wedding planning & I can't wait to book her for my maternity and newborn photos when we decide to grow our family.

Jessica is priceless

Jessica was the kindest soul I’ve met. She was flexible with the 3x I moved my wedding and understanding! She kept me calm during a very stressful day. My photos are breathtaking! Jessica and Tessa weathered the rain like champs and didn’t complain at all. I would of waited 2 more years if I had too, just to keep Jessica has my photographer! Don’t think twice about hiring Jessica. Worth every penny then some! Lastly Jessica made sure the timeline was exactly what I wanted and fought my venue to make sure I got exactly that!

We loved Jess!

We booked Jess for our wedding on VERY short notice. Our original photographer had an emergency and cancelled just 5 days before our wedding. We wanted a very specific style/editing to our photos and Jess showcased that on her Instagram and website. We immediately contacted her and she was available for us! She was extremely responsive and immediately scheduled a call to discuss our wedding photo needs. She also sent me the paperwork to fill out what kind of things we wanted her to focus on in our photos, as well as the invoice information. She was so pleasant to speak with on the phone and was super professional. She showed up the day of almost an hour early and got straight to work on my and my husband's getting ready photos. She captured all the right moments and she had such fun photo ideas! We were so happy to have Jess photograph our wedding and our photos came out perfect...I can't stop looking at them! It was like being photographed by a friend and she was so attentive the entire time. We can't thank her enough for capturing our amazing day and it wouldn't have been the same without her!

1000/1000 would recommend!

Picking Jess was hands down the best decision made for the wedding. Immediately fell in love with her style of photography and it fit exactly what we were looking for. Communication with vendors is key and Jess was always available. Not once did I ever have to worry about anything photo related because of how comforting and organized she is. Not only is she incredibly talented but she is also super down to earth. Searching for vendors can be a bit crazy but this will be an easy one!

Ideal photographer

Jessica was so helpful throughout the wedding process. She is so knowledgeable and can cater to any theme/vision. Her photos came out beyond our expectations. Both the quality and the moments captured were incredible. She was also sooo helpful in maintaining our schedule throughout the day, ensuring everyone we mentioned was captured and that we were ready for the aisle/entry ready. Couldn’t recommend her more.

Absolutely wonderful!!!

Our wedding day last August was an INCREDIBLE but stressful day (Thanks COVID). Jessica helped so much to make us feel at ease, and remind us of what the day was truly about, and her photos truly reflect how relaxed and comfortable she made us feel! She is a truly kind and creative photographer and was so patient and easy to work with. I would truly recommend her to anyone!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
