    Accessible, flexible, and amazingly sweet!!

    Not only was Jessica the person we chose to do our engagement photoshoot, she happened to be the first person EVER to do a photoshoot for us. My fiancé & I scoped out plenty of photographers in the DMV area, but landed on Jessica initially for her style of photography (duh!). Immediately on her website, she features an array of diverse couples along with bright, vivid beautiful colors in addition to natural candid-looking photos. With this being our first professional photoshoot, we were nervous with how they would turn out but she immediately made us feel comfortable. She guided us literally from start to finish -- from help w/ choosing which outfit we should wear to where we should start our engagement session at considering flow of traffic and lighting of the evening. We never felt rushed nor awkward, and we truly appreciated that. I still look at our photos in awe til this day. If we were having a wedding in the DMV, I would have highly considered her for the day of!!

    Simply the BEST!

    Jessica made my dream engagement and wedding photos come true! I searched high and low for a wedding photographer and she stood out with her vibrant use of color which is hard to find in a world of over exposed wedding photography. Her attention to detail and editing skills are unmatched, and on top of that she is the most kind, genuine and professional person you could ever meet.

    My mom had recently passed away just before my wedding and she made sure to capture special details honoring my mom. She was also great with kids and maintained an amazing energy the entire night. I seriously couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely recommend her to any bride in the future. Thank you again Jessica!

    Amazing Photographer!

    Jessica was such a pleasure to work with, we are so lucky to have found her. She made us feel comfortable being ourselves, and helped us look good doing it! She also gave us lots of advice on all things wedding related, and was always responsive when we needed help!

    Gorgeous wedding photos!

    Jessica took incredible wedding photos and perfectly captured our event. Her specialty is capturing the essence of an event including the energy and emotion. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!

    Best Photographer I Could've Asked For

    Jessica has exceeded our already high expectations. When we signed her on for our wedding, she was happy to accommodate us with anything we asked, including day of requests. She was professional, kind, and thorough with everything. Some of our favorite photos are of the candids, which she specializes in and she really nailed the feeling of our special day in our photo gallery.

    She went above and beyond for everything, from planning in meetings with us to editing the photographs. She helped photoshop and perfect photos when we asked her.

    She also was big part of the day itself, and we connected with her as with any friend there. For example, she helped our aunt get professional lighting for her phone pictures and was happy to talk to us about our common interests.

    We will definitely want to hire her again in the future (anniversary photos?) because she was a joy to be with. We highly recommend taking advantage of her additional packages, including a second photographer and a separate photoshoot.

    Amazing photos and easy to work with

    I had the pleasure of working with Jessica for our special day, and I couldn't be happier with the results! From the beginning, her scheduling was impeccable, making the entire process stress-free. The quality of the pictures was nothing short of excellent—each shot beautifully captured the essence of our wedding.

    What sets Jessica apart is her easy-going and approachable nature. She was not only professional but also a joy to work with. Every request was met with enthusiasm, making us feel at ease throughout the entire experience. Additionally, her responsiveness to our needs and attention to detail truly stood out.

    To top it all off, her services were reasonably priced, offering incredible value for the exceptional work she delivered. I wholeheartedly recommend Jessica to anyone seeking a perfect blend of professionalism, talent, and affordability. Our wedding memories are forever enriched by her fantastic contribution!

    Warm and Colorful!

    Jessica is warm and wonderful, and incredibly authentic. I hired her for my July 2023 wedding, and she took engagement photos in May 2022. Although I ended up calling my wedding off, Jessica provided top-tier service from the time I hired her until the time I canceled. She took beautiful engagement photos and knew all of the best spots around the D.C. monuments to capture memorable pictures. She was also very comfortable with including my overexcited golden retriever and had great recommendations about how to include him on the wedding day. I highly recommend Jessica and know that she would've been a blast to work with on my wedding day - she is easy to talk to, confident, and very kind.

    The best of the best!

    As two people who had zero experience being photographed, Jessica made our photos look so natural! We couldn't have been more pleased with the final results. Our friends and family commented on how easy it was to have Jessica around day of. She's very personable and professional! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a wedding photographer in there DMV!

    We Love Jessica !

    We had the most incredible experience with Jessica! She did our engagement shoot last spring 2022 and just did our wedding April 2023. Not only do her photos turn out gorgeous with lots of color, she makes you feel comfortable throughout the whole process. We wanted bright, vibrant, colorful photos and that is 100% what we got. She has a brilliant eye for what will look beautiful and natural and impeccable attention to detail. We cannot recommend her highly enough!

    Excellent, professional, and warm

    Jessica did an amazing job taking our photos. She was flexible, a great listener, and produced really excellent work. If you are looking for someone who is both talented and easy to work with, I highly recommend Jessica.

    Incredible photos; incredible professional!

    Jessica is an absolute professional with impeccable instincts. Working with her was a total pleasure! Right from our initial inquiry call we knew she understood what we were looking for, the nuances in family relationships and what photos were most important to us. Neither my husband or I love to have our photos taken, but the day of the wedding Jessica made us so comfortable. She knew exactly how to pose us and what to say to us to keep the photos looking natural. And the photos she took!!! Amazing!! Her use of natural light and ability to capture the colors of our florals and décor was fantastic. Our photos turned out better than we could have imagined. If you are looking for someone to photograph your wedding you can’t go wrong with Jessica!

    Favorite vendor of the entire experience

    Jessica is beyond words. Not only was she our photographer, she also acted as our planner, our guest greeter, and our biggest cheerleader. I felt like Jessica was as excited for my wedding day as I was. My guests raved about her, which is the proof of her impact far beyond just being the photographer for the day. These are all extra perks that are just the cherry on top of her incredible photography skills. Go to her website, her portfolio speaks for itself. Hire her, because she is on her way to becoming the most sought out photographer of the DMV.

    Fantastic Choice

    Jessica was fantastic! Her organizational abilities, attention to detail, and warm personality made her a pleasure to work with. We felt super reassured from the moment we met her, which carried throughout the entire process. Could not recommend her more!

    The best of the best

    Jessica was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. From the moment we started talking to her, we could tell she treates every client with top priority and caters to their specific needs and requests. Not only did the photos turn out amazing but the fact that she was able to take so many was incredible. She also took the time to add that personal touch by interacting with guests, talking to them, and making sure to capture the best shot possible.

    Engagement photography session

    Jessica did an amazing job at our engagement photo shoot this past September! We took pictures on the National Mall at sunrise and in Old Town Alexandria. Within a matter of weeks, we received an online gallery that we shared with our family and friends. She is great to work with and her quality is outstanding.

    Excellent photography and the most professional

    She was such a great photographer. Jessica captured all the best moments, not only the big ones but the little ones in between as well. She worked well with all our other vendors and was so patient with my family and wedding guests. We loved her!!!

    Review for Nicole & David Bauer

    Jessica did a fantastic job capturing our wedding day! My wife and I have never looked better in photos, which is just what you want on the big day. We of course loved the photos of us, but I was especially touched by the wonderful photos of our guests, who greatly appreciated the photos we shared with them. Jessica was also an absolute pleasure to be around during both our engagement session and the wedding, which is a nice added bonus! We would highly recommend her to just about anyone!

    Stunning photos, amazing person!

    My husband and I can’t stress enough how incredible Jessica was during planning, every second of our packed wedding weekend, and of course getting our final photos! She is so talented at what she does and made us, our families, and our guests feel comfortable and confident. My family has never had professional photos taken and her guidance and patience resulted in lovely photos that we’ll treasure forever. We had a multicultural wedding and she captured all of our important moments and traditions (even those we didn’t know were going to happen) beautifully. Jessica has a lot of experience in weddings and the knowledge and tips she shared made all the difference in my own experience for the weekend. Our final photos are exquisite and colorful. I promise of all the vendors you work with, Jessica will be your best investment for your big day!

    Amazing person and photographer

    Jessica was amazing! Before the wedding we went through a detailed shot list and what we wanted for the big day. She rolled with the bunches because nothing goes as planned. The photos came back so fast, were exactly what I wanted and so gorgeous! Can’t recommend enough!

    Amazing photographer and fantastic experience!!

    Jessica's portfolio of stunning work speaks for itself, but what my husband and I really think sets Jessica apart is what happens behind the camera. What truly sets Jessica apart from other photographers is her creativity, her investment into making personal connections, and her commitment to capturing special moments. We could not have asked for a better photographer for our day.

    Jessica, thank you so much for the professionalism, fun, and absolutely stunning photos from our wedding. Not only did you capture the day beautifully, you fit right in with our crowd without missing a beat. You easily were the best decision we made that day (besides marrying each other of course)!

    Jessica was absolutely amazing to work with! She was fun and helped both me and my husband feel comfortable despite both being more camera shy. She did both our engagement photos and wedding and could not be more thrilled with the beautiful photographs we have!

    Amazing photos, lovely person

    Jessica has been a dream to work with. We booked her for the package with both engagement and wedding photos, with a second shooter for the wedding. We would recommend her in a heartbeat. On a personal level, she is friendly, fun, easy-going, and engaging with clients and guests. On a professional level, she has a wealth of experience that helps planning and day-of go smoothly. That was especially appreciated as we had had to scale down the wedding to a micro-wedding due to the health crisis, making all of our plans change up at the last minute. At the wedding, she and her second shooter were naturals with our wedding party. They handled our stubborn (but adorable) 4-year-old ring bearer with casual ease and managed to get a lot of good shots of him. She did a fantastic job of getting truly joyful shots of everyone there. Critically, she made our photos look like a celebration, rather than the photos feeling awkward with our 20-person guest list. My husband and I have spent all morning passing our phones back and forth, sharing our favorite shots (which is all of them). We're so thrilled to share the photos with our loved ones that weren't able to come due to health concerns. It is a special blessing to have such lovely memories of our special little night!
