Jessica is an absolute gem of a wedding photographer and we couldn't be more thrilled with our decision to work with her. From our very first interaction, her warm and professional demeanor put us completely at ease – something that proved invaluable on our wedding day.

What sets Jessica apart is her remarkable ability to capture genuine moments while making everyone feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. Her natural, unobtrusive approach allowed us to truly be ourselves, resulting in photographs that perfectly capture the joy and emotion of our special day. Her artistic eye and technical expertise shine through in every shot, from intimate couple portraits to candid reception moments.

The quality of her work speaks for itself – we've received countless compliments on our wedding photos from friends and family. Her style is particularly well-suited for weddings, striking that perfect balance between timeless elegance and contemporary flair. Each photo tells a story, and together they create a beautiful narrative of our wedding day that we'll treasure forever.

Beyond her exceptional photography skills, Jessica's professionalism and organization kept everything running smoothly. She had a wonderful way of keeping us on schedule without ever making us feel rushed, and she seamlessly coordinated with our other vendors to ensure she captured every important moment.

If you're looking for a wedding photographer who combines incredible talent with a wonderfully personable approach, look no further than Jessica. She exceeded our expectations in every way possible, and we cannot recommend her highly enough.

We had a truly fantastic experience working with Jessica and the Copper Collective team! Jessica created absolute magic behind the camera and made us feel so at ease throughout the day. From couple and family portraits, to all the small details throughout the day, Jessica (and Ally) captured the day with such beauty and we are so grateful to cherish her images for the years to come. We cannot thank them enough!

We chose to work with Laura Bray as our photographer for our wedding because her portfolio is stunning, and we really liked her true-to-color style. She did our engagement shoot, which turned out incredible. We are not photographic people, nor have we ever done professional photos before. She made us feel super comfortable, and we ended up having a ton of fun.
For our wedding day, she helped recommend tweaks to our timeline to make everything go smoothly, and she was able to stick to the timeline perfectly throughout the day. I was amazed! Laura was such a joy to work with every step of the way, and we couldn't be happier with our photos.
The photos highlight every detail we wanted, and they truly capture the day. We told Laura that we wanted photos that capture the day, rather than the day to be about photos, and she totally respected that. We got to enjoy our cocktail hour and reception (and still got perfect photos). We also told Laura about how much we love candids, and she was able to get a ton of fun ones!
She went above and beyond on the wedding day as well. She was the person who taught my maid of honor how to fluff my dress (and she was even there to help rescue the day with a stuck zipper!). I had many guests come up to me during the reception to mention how wonderful Laura and her assistant were, helping with countless things behind the scenes I didn't even know about.

I had an incredible experience with Copper Collective for my photo shoot, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Ali Ray, the photographer, did an amazing job and made me feel completely at ease throughout the entire process.

From the moment I arrived, I felt like I was in good hands. Ali's positive energy and professionalism were evident from the start, and she made the photo shoot a fun and comfortable experience. She was on time, organized, and truly went above and beyond to capture the perfect shots.

Not only did I use Copper Collective for my individual photo shoot, but I also hired them for a family photo shoot, and the results were outstanding. All of the pictures turned out beautifully, and I am so grateful that I chose Copper Collective for both occasions.

I highly recommend Copper Collective and Ali Ray for any photography needs. Their talent, professionalism, and great energy made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. Thank you to Copper Collective for capturing such amazing memories, I am beyond happy with the results.

I knew wedding photography was going to be one of our more important decisions to make and Jessica and the Copper Collective team is an EASY YES and i'm so glad I found them! I had done my research based on familiarity to my venues and really loved the style/edit of the photos that Jessica had described as "true to life". From my first phone call with Jessica to our engagement photos and to our wedding day, she was so comfortable to work with from the get go. My husband absolutely hates taking pictures, but even after our engagement session he raved over how comfortable Jessica made him feel. We've received our first set of wedding previews and am soooo in love with how they came out and cannot wait to receive the rest! Jessica and Ally were a dream team on our wedding day and my family and friends loved them as well.

Jessica and the team at Copper Collective were amazing! I absolutely cannot say enough great things! Jessica is an extremely talented photographer with several years of experience and gets the best shots. She was very organized, sent us a detailed questionnaire to complete regarding the types of shots we wanted, what was important to us, etc. and scheduled a call with us in advance of the wedding to go over everything in greater detail. Jessica was very professional, arrived on time, knew exactly what types of shots to get, knew the best areas in the venue that made the best photos, and instructed us as to what types of poses to do. She delivered the final photos ahead of schedule and we could not be happier with how the photos turned out. Our family and friends keep raving as to how amazing the photos are. If you are looking for a high quality wedding photographer in San Diego, look no further!

We were incredibly happy to have Jessica as our wedding photographer! She made the entire process of taking photos really enjoyable and easy, from the engagement shoot to the wedding day. We received a large amount of sneak peek photos within a week of the wedding, and they were all perfect!!! We can't recommend her enough, and will definitely use her for any future photoshoot needs!

Jessica Van was our photographer and she was very pleasant to work with. She did both our engagement and wedding day photos and she did amazing! She will give you a good handful of photos right after the ceremony so you have something to reminisce on. She is really kind and calming which is helpful when you get nervous taking photos (like me). I would highly recommend Jessica for any big event!

Working with France Photography for our wedding was such an amazing experience and the photos we have are phenomenal!
We met with Jessica Van to discuss our wedding vision and what we hoped a photographer would capture of us as a couple. After that meeting we knew instantly Jessica was the perfect fit for us! Jessica has such a great personality and we could tell she absolutely loves what she does and has a passion for showing her couple's stories through her photos.
We filled out a pre-wedding questionnaire which was such a great idea. We were able to go into our day knowing that every moment and detail we wanted captured actually would be!
On the day of the wedding, Jessica made us so comfortable and let us be our lovey selves while setting up the most incredible moments and backdrops. And I am telling you- THE PHOTOS ARE OUTSTANDING! Not only did they capture our personality, but all our friends and family too!
We have nothing but great things to say about France Photography and Jessica Van and are so happy they were a part of our day!

As a wedding planner in San Diego for the past 12 years, I have always enjoyed the calmness and comfort that Sara France provided my clients when taking their photos on their wedding day. So when Rich Younger my husband popped the question, there was no other photographer that I could see us saying "I do" in front of then France Photographers. My now husband is not super excited about having his photo taken in general and Sara made him feel at ease from the start.

My husband and I were married at Estancia on January 27, 2018 and from the moment I booked Sara France and the France Photography "dream team" (we had three photographers b/c well I just had to make sure that every detail was captured) I was amazed that being on the client side of the coin was as amazing as being on the colleague side.

Each of the France girls are unique and exquisite. Their attention to detail and the calm sense in their demeanor is something that deserves high praise. They are there to guide you, inform you, treat you like a VIP and simply listen to the needs and wants and vision of their clients.

My wedding day at Estancia was everything that I have ever dreamed of and I see a lot of weddings there but they have the talent to make each wedding shot at every location look different and special from the last.

I am so proud to have had these women capture my day and I look forward to referring my brides to them in the future.
