    Hire jessi

    Jessi was a joy to work with - from engagement photos to managing stresses the day of. She worked with us to ensure our complicated timeline was perfect, that we had plenty of time for family photos, and more. She even got some amazing reception party photos, which can be hard to look good in. We loved every second of working with her and got tons of compliments from guests not only about her skills but also her demeanor during the whole day. We love Jessi!

    Hands down, hiring Jessi was one of the best things we did in planning our wedding.

    The gorgeous quality of her work is equally matched to her wonderfully kind, goofy, respectful and thoughtful demeanor. Several friends in our wedding party who have been part of other folks' nuptials have individually taken us aside and mentioned how impressed they were with how Jessi ran the portrait sessions. She created a fun, engaging, calm and yet productive atmosphere that didn't drag, all while constantly helping to facilitate transitions. And in speaking of, though she herself isn't Jewish, she knew all of the various Jewish wedding customs (talk about transitions!) and didn't miss a beat!

    Throughout the planning process and on the big day itself, Jessi was tremendously supportive of not just my husband and I, but of my family as well. My late father and I were extremely close, and not having him there was something none of us could have ever predicted. We knew that as amazing a day the wedding would be, it'd also be a difficult one. Without our asking, Jessi knew when to put down her camera, and instead give us warm hugs, or the space we needed to be sad. She didn't ignore or disregard our feelings, and when we were ready, she gently led the charge to continue. Ultimately, working with her was like working with a friend, opposed to engaging in a distanced business transaction and we couldn't be more thrilled with how our photos came out!

    Jessi is amazing

    Don't waste another second and hire Jessi! Jessi is not only a talented photographer, but also such an amazing person to her core. I think her work is so amazing because she truly loves what she does. Every moment we had with Jessi- from engagement shoot, pre-wedding coordination, to the big day- was flawless. When we woke up at the crack of dawn for our engagement shoot, Jessi was so positive, fun and determined to find the perfect shot even despite the freezing cold temperatures. Fast forward to our wedding day and WOW I was so happy we hired Jessi. The photos she took were absolutely incredible, beautiful, and timeless. She also is so experienced and had the entire schedule memorized. She stepped outside of her role as photographer helping guide the schedule and answer questions throughout the day. I truly can't say enough about Jessi and she will forever have a special place in our hearts.

    Best photographer ever

    Jessi is an amazing photographer and person. Working with her was one of the highlights of our wedding era! She is personable and really gets to know you two and your families.

    She has such a special way of capturing emotions from your day that you never want to forget.
    Every person who we have shown our wedding pictures to have said “wow that photographer was worth every penny”.


    Incredible!

    There are not enough good things to say!!! Jessi is the absolute BEST!

    Where do I even begin with Jessi? Hiring Jessi was possibly the best decision we made in regards to our wedding. Jessi truly went above and beyond to make our day special and we couldn't be happier with our photos. She is not only so talented, but she is a funny, kind, down to earth person who is easy to work with. She knows exactly what she is doing and knows how to control the group to keep things moving while still keeping the atmosphere fun and light. She listened to our preferences, and we were actually able to get all our photos done before cocktail hour, which was something we were hoping for!! I was very nervous for photos (I am not usually a fan of having my picture taken) but Jessi made it feel so fun and enjoyable!! A tropical storm hit right on our wedding day, and Jessi made what was supposed to be an outdoor ceremony/cocktail hour look absolutely stunning in the tent. She did not miss a beat making the indoor photos GORGEOUS, and worked with us when we pivoted plans multiple times due to the rain in the week or so leading up to the wedding. She made sure we knew she was always just a phone call away whenever we needed her, and she was always very responsive to text, email or call when questions came up. Jessi was so good at calming us down, listening to our needs, and making us feel reassured. Not to mention her 2nd photographer, Kaite, was also incredible to work with! Jessi and Katie both were helping with things beyond their duties as photographers, like working with the venue coordinators to make sure we stayed on schedule, and even bustling my dress! I'm so beyond grateful to Jessi for making what could have felt like a stressful day due to the rain so fun and full of love. And the pictures mean so much to my husband and I and our families. All we can really say is, THANK YOU!!

    Jessi was so great to work with

    Jessi was so wonderful start to finish. She was always responsive, helpful, and professional. She even tried to help us find a dog sitter for our big day- way outside of the job description! Jessi made us feel so comfortable day of and really listened to our vision. It was important to us that our special day was captured with us experiencing it and not so much being pulled away for photos, and she did exactly that. We had our sneak peak the very next day which was just enough to hold us over for the real deal. Her style is true to color and timeless, which was exactly what we wanted. If you're searching for a photographer, you can stop here :) Jessi was the best.

    Amazing!!!

    The absolute best!! My husband and I had our engagement and wedding pictures with Jessi and we’re super uncomfortable in front of the camera but you would never know by the photos Jessi took. She makes you feel comfortable and captures every special moment. Extremely well organized with timelines as well! Do yourself a favor and book your photo sessions with Jessi, her photos keep these beautiful moments from running away!

    Only great things to say about Jessi and her photography skills!!!

    Jessi was the absolute best to work with!!! From the get-go, she was easy to communicate with and very responsive. Her warmth, friendliness, and easy-going personality is contagious and makes you want to be her best friend. Jessi made us feel comfortable during our photo sessions by guiding our stances and saying silly things to make us laugh. She had a way of making us look so natural in the photos and captured our love and connection so beautifully. Our engagement and wedding photos were one of the most important aspects of our wedding, and they turned out far better than we could have ever imagined, thanks to Jessi!!
    I have been recommending Jessi to everyone I know for wedding photos, family portraits, etc! She is incredibly skilled, efficient, and creative and I am so happy that we had the pleasure of having her photograph our special day!

    Jessi will make your wedding photo dreams come true!

    From start to finish, Jessi was an absolute dream to work with! She is extremely responsive and took the time to answer all my questions throughout the wedding planning process. She helped put together a custom package that would best fit our wedding day plans, and she helped me organize my wedding day timeline. She is so sweet and down to earth and made us feel completely at ease. Obviously, Jessi's photos truly speak for themselves! She did an amazing job capturing all of the typical wedding day photos, but when we received our gallery, we were in awe of how many sweet and funny moments throughout our ceremony and reception she also captured that we didn't even remember happening! Her editing and photography skills are top notch, and she even took time during our reception to take some fun, artsy shots to add a little something special to our gallery. We love, love, love our wedding photos, and we're so happy that we chose to work with Jessi! Brides (and grooms), look no further; book with Jessi, and you absolutely won't regret it!!

    The dreamiest day, the dreamiest photos

    Jessi was a dream to work with from start to finish. She was communicative, friendly, and reassuring from the start and helped us feel totally at ease throughout the planning process. When we realized we would be faced with a rainy wedding day, Jessi was so helpful in calming our concerns and showed up prepared to capture our day. We got some BEAUTIFUL shots in the rain and Jessi was quick to make sure we could time portraits during the breaks in the showers that we did get that day.

    Something I learned on our wedding day was how important it is to pick a photographer you're comfortable with and want to be friends with because you spend SO MUCH TIME with them on that important day. I'm so glad Jessi was with me on our wedding day, she went above and beyond (literally recurled my hair for me after it got a little messed up from the rain) to make sure I felt confident and relaxed.

    Jessi is one of those photographers who genuinely cares about you and making sure you love your photos no matter what inevitable obstacles you may face, and I'm so grateful to have gotten to work with her!

    The BEST photographer (and person) out there!!!

    We cannot say ENOUGH good things about Jessi. She was the first vendor we booked for our wedding and she is not only extremely talented, but such a fun and unique individual. We are so thankful for her and her incredible work. Our wedding guests keep texting us about our amazing photographer team. Booking her is a great decision that will make memories for your wedding for years to come!

    Trying to come up with other events that we can hire Jessi for...

    The bottom line is this: Jessi is amazing to work with, 10/10 professionalism :-), takes beautiful photos, and has an eye for capturing some incredible scenes. We are so glad that she was recommended to us, and we can easily and confidently recommend her. For both our engagement photo session and our wedding day, we dealt with less-than-ideal weather conditions. She was totally unphased. She made it fun, she sought out beautiful backgrounds, and ended up helping us get some gorgeous and unique photographs because of (not in spite of) the poor weather.
    She even joined us for a dance (at our urging!). Our bridal party and guests also remarked on how awesome she was to work with. We can’t wait to see the rest of the photos.

    Best Photographer in the DMV!!!

    Jessi is hands down the best photographer in the DMV! She was our wedding photographer in Oct 2021. The quality of her pictures is top notch and her style of shooting still allows you to look and feel like yourself. She is professional, quick to respond, trustworthy, and always willing to go out of her way to meet your needs. In addition, not only did she meet the delivery deadlines for us to receive the pictures, but she delivered them a few weeks early! She was an absolute pleasure to work with and would 100% recommend her for all photography needs.

    You need jessi!

    Wow! Jessi was one of the BEST parts of wedding vendor team. She was with us through postponing due to COVID and I cannot recommend her more, I would give 500 stars if I could! Jessi's passion for taking amazing photos is so obvious, she is incredibly creative and it shows! Our engagement photos were perfect and the wedding photos even better. She fully captured the day and was so personable while doing it! So many people came up to me asking where I found her during and after the wedding. Outside the photos Jessi was also extremely organized and I went to her for so much! She even helped me find a replacement make up artist. Hire her now- Jessi is unbelievable, Hire her now!!

    Incredible photographer

    Jessi is awesome. As a couple who hates getting their picture taken professionally - Jessi was really good at helping my now husband and I feel comfortable and natural in front of a camera. Her photos are stunning. What I really loved about Jessi is that she doesn't go overboard with a specific style/lighting. She just goes off the natural colors of what are in the photo and the result is gorgeous. She takes the time to get beautiful photos of the bride and groom of course, but also close family members and friends. She is reasonably priced and won't try to up-sell you on something you truly don't need. My husband, family, and wedding guests all raved about her. She's just the best!

    Amazing Experience, Beautiful Photos!!

    You will be missing out if you do not pick Jessi to be your wedding photographer! She was absolutely amazing and our pictures are better than we could have ever expected. She got to know us and what we wanted and liked and helped build the right wedding day experience around that. We had weather challenges for both the engagement shoot and wedding day and she was super flexible and still got the most amazing shots. She absolutely knows all the right angels, know how to work with the sun and you will not be disappointed. Book her now!!

    Just stop looking now and hire Jessi

    I’m not kidding. She’s amazing. She takes beautiful pictures. AND she’s super fun to be around. She made us feel so comfortable. From the first time I met Jessi in person I basically just wanted to be her best friend.
    Our engagement pics were amazing and I just got our wedding pics back and honestly don’t know how I’m going to even pick just a few to go along with this post! It’s going to take me five years to make my wedding album because I really will not be able to narrow them down...

    It doesn't get better then with Jessi!

    If I could give Jessi more stars I would. I was the MOH, and was so impressed with Jessi. Day of she was so excited, joyful, and in all the right places at all the right times. Looking back at all the pictures today I know the bride made the best choice. While the photographs were beautiful and looked amazing, she did more then capture pictures. You could really feel all the joy, excitement, and happy tears in these photographs. If you want to capture the energy of your day to remember forever, hire Jessi.

    Jessi is the best!

    Jessi exceeded my expectations in a wedding photographer. She always responded quickly and working with her for the 2 years leading up to my wedding was stress free.
    We received our photos less than month after our wedding, and they are more than I could have dreamed. They are all so perfect and beautiful shots. Not only are the photos great, Jessi was so much fun on our wedding day. I cannot recommend Jessi enough.

    Amazing Engagement and Wedding Photography!

    Jessi is such a talented photographer and we recommend her to everyone! My husband and I hired her for both our engagement photoshoot and our wedding. We could not have been happier with how all of our photos turned out, we love her style and depth of natural colors to capture all of the special moments! Jessi made us feel very comfortable and natural in front of the camera. Additionally, we had reschedule our original spring wedding date to later in the fall due to COVID, and Jessi was amazingly flexible and understanding through all of our challenges, and had great communication during the entire process! 10/10 Highly Recommend!
