If you want magazine quality pictures....hire this photographer immediately!!!!

There aren't enough words to accurate describe how amazing Jessie is. She was extremely professional, but still so nice and fun. We had found her on a referral from family. We did an initial interview with her via video and we just clicked right away. She was exactly the type of person we were looking for. Her pricing is very competitive and she has several package offerings. We did an engagement session with her, which was wonderful because we got to meet her and see how she worked prior to the wedding. When we got the photos back from that session, I was blown away! They should be on a magazine cover. She captured us so well and we've never felt better looking. Like model good! She was great with my daughter (age 12) and got her to really lean into having her picutres taken. We meet in person prior to the wedding to make sure we had a timeline (which she put together based on what we wanted to have done that day), and asked us to put a shot list together for the day. The day of, she showed up early, got a lot of the non-people pictures done so quick, I didn't' know she had done them. We did a first look at another location and that was so fun and the pictures were even better than the engagement photos. I can't express how happy we are. The day wouldn't have been complete without her and I would 100% recommend her to ANYONE looking for pictures to be done, she does a lot more than just weddings and all the photos are stunning.

Jess made it a very fun experience, she is laid back, respectful and has a good sense of humor which always had us laughing.

Great experience for our day and engagement photos. Pictures came back in a very reasonable timeframe. Quality of photos were excellent. She made it feel like a friend was taking our photos and not a stranger. I couldn’t recommend enough!

Absolutely incredible

Honestly I wish I could give more stars. We used Jessica for our son’s birthday photos and our wedding photos; Jessica was an absolute dream to work with from start to finish.

She always turned up with a smile, had wonderful ideas about different shots, including my veil which turned out to be my favorite wedding picture. She worked with her second photographer Alex, and my oh my, the shots were simply amazing. There was SO many to choose from, all edited beautifully, and so elegantly captured the joy of everyone who attended our day. She even managed to get pictures of all of the kids, including our own son who is far too busy to stand still for those important pictures. We have so many to treasure and we will forever appreciate her being there on our big day. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer or for any event, look no further, you’ve found exactly who you need.

Jessie is the best!

I highly recommend hiring Jessie if you want to work with someone who is fun, kind, and very talented and if you want amazing wedding photos that everyone will rave about. I'm so happy that we hired her to photograph our wedding!

I would hire Jess for every picture I need taken ever

I ADORE Jess. Working with her was a dream. Not only is her work AMAZING but she is just a peach! My husband is a horrible picture taker {never smiles, does something odd with his eyes, I'm not really sure what is going on} yet EVERY picture Jess has taken of him he looks amazing. We got our engagement as well as wedding pictures done with Jess and I'm a customer for life. I will have her photograph every major life moment from now on. She is professional, understanding, has creative ideas, never makes you feel awkward when posing and the work is gosh darn fantastic. She is also really wonderful about getting previews out quickly and keeping you in the know with when to expect your pictures back. I loved working with Jess and will cherish our wedding pictures for our entire lives.

Absolutely amazing!

Jessie was amazing to work with. She was able to capture so much on our special day. She was even willing to help me play a prank on my spouse for the first look. Also the turn around for getting my photos was great too. I recommend Wildcrest Studios to everyone!

Thumme wedding 8/08/2020

Jessica was a friend of both my husband and I from college. When it came time for our engagement pictures I knew I wanted to go with someone I knew for my pictures. She was such a joy to work with! She made us relax and have fun with the photo shoot! She was willing to go along with our crazy idea of doing one of our engagement shoots at a hockey rink and was willing to get cold laying on the ice to get the best shot!
I am in love with how she captured our wedding as well! We knew that we could count on her to help capture our special day even in the midst of having to replan everything because of covid. In the end I’m thankful to have such beautiful memories of our special day. I highly recommend wildcrest studios to help capture your special day!

Wedding photography was awesome

Working with Jessica was a joy. She was very responsive to questions and requests, which was nice.
I liked her planning, particularly asking for all the essential shots we wanted so she could make sure to get them for us. Also, I requested she find spots around the reception site for pictures, since I did not want to find any and she came up with at least 5 different locations all in a block or twos walk, which was really convenient.
We got the the pictures back in six weeks I think, whatever it was she was earlier than her estimates of the turn around time.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
