About

Weddings by JMF is a wedding photography company based in Gainesville, Florida - dedicated to capturing the moments that tell your love story.

Experience

Our company is made up of husband and wife team: Jessica Marie Francis and Danny, and it was our wedding that helped me realize that wedding photography is my true calling.

I'm Jessica, the principal photographer and designer. While I'm proud of my 10+ years of experience in darkroom and digital photography, I recognize that I was on the path to this career waaaaay before I discovered my passion for photography. My career in the wedding industry actually started in middle school when I was first hired as a wedding singer. Over the next decade, I worked through high school and college at a local yacht club, eventually earning the title, "Assistant Banquet Director." It was in this role that I became immersed in the wedding and event world. Looking back, I've been blessed to experience weddings from almost every angle: entertainer, planner, bride, and photographer and I pull from that experience to design our services and techniques thoughtfully and with purpose.

Beside my technical training and esperience in the field, the real secret sauce that makes my success so sweet is my second shooter, assistant, and husband extraordinaire, Danny. A few years into our relationship, he expressed interest in learning more about photography and allowed me to train him for 4 years before he started shooting with me. For 5 years now he has been with me, photographing over 100 events ranging from mini sessions to weddings in tandem. I think his most amazing quality when we are working with our couples and families is his infectious laugh and ability to put people at ease. We always strive to blend into our surroundings to allow people to be themselves, and Danny's jovial demeanor is just what the doctor ordered.

Very professional and made the experience very enjoyable

We had our first wedding anniversary shoot with Jessica and assisted by her husband Danny. They are both very professional and make the experience very enjoyable. I was a little nervous at first before the shoot but once we started Jessica made it so much fun, I would totally recommend them to anyone that asked. The price was very reasonable and the quantity of the pictures was phenomenal. I wish I would have hired them to shoot our wedding because every picture was amazing!

I had used Jessica for our family pictures and after The session I absolutely fell in love and knew she had to do our wedding, she is professional and passionate and has such a eye for "the moments that matter". I had originally planned a traditional wedding however decided last minute to elope, Jessica was amazing! She made the transition stress free and basically held my hand the entire time. At the wedding she was amazing again, she helped with the surprise. I'm not sure how she does it but she captures the most important moments, and to me the most important are the moments that you don't realize are so important at the time. I look back at our wedding day and thanks to Jessica all the emotions and moments that were so great are now hanging in my house. Jessica even walked me through saving the pictures on to my computer. I can't say enough about her. She is the most positive professional and creative photographer and I would strongly recommend her and her team.

A truly enjoyable experience

Jessica is amazing. She accounts for every detail and does a great job making the entire photography experience easy and fun. We got the whole team (her co-photographer is her husband Danny) and they did an incredible job. Super nice people, a fun experience, and great pictures to remember my engagement. Definitely recommend!!!
