    The Most Beautiful Photos You Will Ever Have!

    Jessica Smith is INCREDIBLY talented at what she does! I can not emphasize her skills enough. I was looking for someone who could capture all the little details, a few family and bridal party portraits, and capture the day truly as it happened. Oh my gosh, I couldn't have asked for more beautiful pictures!! I am in love with my photos--we got about 900 photos from our wedding day and out of those, I had NONE I disliked. They're all beautiful! My vendors have told me that they are the most beautiful photos they had seen from their weddings, and some are even using some of them to market themselves!
    Jessie really captured the pure happiness from our day. She captured the magic and love that surrounded us, all the big and little moments. We had so much fun taking both our engagement and wedding photos! She turns it into time to just have fun with each other. :)
    Aside from our gorgeous photos, Jessie is exactly the kind of person you want to spend time with on your wedding day. I had issues trying to bustle my dress and there comes wonder woman to the rescue! :) She has lots of positive energy and really helped me make decisions throughout the day in the easiest way possible. You really want a photographer who is comfortable and a PRO at weddings to help move your day along, and that's exactly who she is!
    I cannot recommend Jessie enough! She's the best, and we will definitely continue to use her photography services throughout our years together!

    Photos are to die for!!!

    For me, the most important part of the day was that I have beautiful photos at then end of it to look back on for the rest of my life. Jessica did not disappoint. She is a stunningly talented photographer who captured every aspect of my special day and then some! She did a wonderful job of getting all of the photos that were important to me and I never felt rushed or stressed about fitting everyone in. I included dogs and a horse in my wedding, so this was no small feat! I really can't say enough wonderful things about how easy she is to work with, and how amazing the photos turn out. I will be using her again in the future for sure!

    Jessie is AMAZING!!! I do minimal photography on the side so I had a huge expectation for a photographer for my wedding since it was the #2 item on my priority-wedding list (#1 is the venue). I searched and searched till I found Jessie and instantly fell in love with her work. I check her blog daily and continuously amazed. As a photographer to another, "She has the eye".

    She did an incredible job during our "Apple Orchid" Engagement Session:

    And she blew that out of the water with our wedding photos: http://www.jessicasmithphotography.com/blog/2011/05/27/brandon-and-megan-whitehall-manor-wedding/

    Thank you for capturing the true essence and beauty of the love that surrounded our wedding day. You are the best and it shows in your work.

    Highly, HIGHLY recommend!

    Every part of working with Jessie was amazing. She's a fantastic photographer and she even had some teaser pics up less than a week after the wedding that I was able to view while I was on my honeymoon. She did everything I asked for and a whole lot more. She was always on time and very professional and she was also a blast to shoot with. She's reasonably priced and her quality is just fabulous. I'd use her again in a heartbeat.

    Perfect Photographer!

    Jessie was an absolutely perfect photographer and we couldn't be more happy with the results. We live in a different state than in Virginia where we got married and were not sure we could make our engagement shoot work out because of that. But, Jessie made herself available for when we were going to be in town and made it happen! She was so flexible and understanding. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. On the wedding day, Jessie and her assistant were fantastic. Jessie helped frame the timeline of the day so that we got all of the photos we wanted and needed. They also took amazing portraits of guests at cocktail hour which will be lovely to share with them. Jessie and her assistant also went above and beyond helping with bustling my dress and fixing hair pins in my hair so everything looked perfect! We are so happy with Jessie as our photographer and would recommend her to anyone. Thank you Jessie for capturing all of the wonderful moments of our special day!

    Jessie is amazing!

    Jessie Smith is the best! We hired her for our engagement photos as well as our wedding day and we already plan on hiring her for maternity/newborn photos. She is so kind and easy to work with. She makes you feel so comfortable throughout it all and gives you step by step directions on how to pose in case you are camera shy. Our engagement photos were better than we ever could've imagined and we are counting down the seconds until we get our wedding photos. 10/10 would recommend!

    THE BEST Photographer Around

    Jessie is THE BEST wedding photographer out there. My wife and I are blown away by the photos from our wedding, and all of our guests are astonished at how great they are. The owner of our venue even said that Jessie is "the best photographer that's ever been here". Her photos are beyond beautiful, and her turnaround time is incredible. We HIGHLY recommend Jessie for any photos needed, as her work is simply the best that we have ever seen.

    10 out of 5 stars, really

    Jessie is incredible. Seriously. From taking our anniversary photos to celebrating our reception this summer (thanks COVID for having us do things in the completely wrong order!), Jessie's photos speak for themselves. What the photos don't share is who Jessie is. On our reception day, she was calm, collected and so helpful. She made sure that myself and my wedding party caught back up with our timeline after falling behind and worked seamlessly with my caterer and our venue throughout the event. She maneuvered family photo demands, friend requests, and my own wants with grace and poise. She managed to capture all of my favorite moments from our evening and I cannot thank her enough for everything that she has done for us thus far. I know that when we want photos in the future, we know just who to ask!

    Jessie is amazing

    We are so happy that Jessie was our photographer for our wedding! She was so easy to work with, very organized, made us feel comfortable/relaxed when we were taking photos, and truly went above and beyond! Our photos and album turned out great! We would hire Jessie again in a heart beat.

    The best wedding investment we made

    My husband and I are absolutely thrilled with the photos that Jessie and her second shooter captured on our wedding day. Hiring her was probably the best decision we made. Her pictures are stunning and really captured the genuine joy we felt. We have a great mix of portraits and candid shots, not only of us but of all of our guests!

    Moreover, we will always be grateful for how kind she was to our family and friends. She also put us at ease when we needed to shuffle our schedule due to the rain. She even had wipes and a tide-to-go pen in her bag when my bouquet slightly stained my dress! Jessie is a total pro. Hire her - you won’t regret it.

    You NEED Jessie for your wedding

    Finding a photographer was the hardest part of all my wedding planning. As someone who is very shy and doesn't love being in front of a camera, and a fiancé who felt the same way, I didn't know how it would go. WELL, in comes Jessie! Not only did we feel so comfortable but my now husband and I had a BLAST during our engagement session, even adding our beloved GSD in a few shots. Jessie is more than just talented, she captures and sees beauty in different ways in places you would never think. Our wedding day had freak 65mph wind gusts, dropping temps, scattered rain, and was outdoors. But the pictures I received back only showed the love, laughter, and joy I had with my close friends and family. I'm still amazed how she captured such moments in a day of chaos! Jessie is the kindest, so easy to work with, and goes above and beyond what her job entails. When a gust of wind hit and knocked over a table, breaking dishes, I walked into our tent to see Jessie picking up plates. She's the best of the best. You need to hire her for your day! These pictures will last a life time and what she delivers is truly a work of art!

    Book Jessie for your wedding!

    Jessie's work stood out to us from the very start. We were so happy that she was available for our wedding and thrilled when we met her for our engagement photo session! She knew exactly what photos to get and had tons of ideas for poses & shots. Jessie is warm, friendly, responsive, and professional in both email and in person. We felt so comfortable with her and it was such a relief to have one less thing to worry about on our wedding day. Jessie also secured a second photographer, Ally, and she was phenomenal as well. Jessie sent us our wedding photos in record time, and we are so happy with each and every photo! When we started our wedding planning, we wanted the best photographer and could not have chosen a better photographer than Jessie. We cannot recommend her enough!!

    Jessie is the best!

    We found Jessie because she had done incredible photographs of our venue in the past. She is able to capture the colors, the energy and happiness of whatever she photographs. Once we saw our engagement photos, we were in love. Then our wedding photos exceeded every single expectation!!! Our day was overcast but our photos don't show it! She captured our happy energy, the beautiful August florals and was so incredibly fun to work with. We love her so much my sister already booked her for her own newborn photos! Jessie is beyond amazing and our wedding memories wouldn't be the same without her amazing talent.

    From the minute I got the first email from Jessie, I could tell she was different. She wrote a full page email that was completely personalized to us. We met her at her house and she made cookies. We talked for 2 hours. When we left, my now husband said to me, "So she's it right?" "Yep", I said. Her package offered exactly what we were looking for and for a reasonable price. Our engagement photos are beautiful and our wedding photos even more gorgeous. Jessie is so relaxed and just has a natural way of making you feel comfortable and beautiful without overly posing anything. So glad we had the privilege of working with her!

    Jessica was the photographer at my wedding and was beyond amazing to work with!! She was flexible with our timeline and gave great ideas for timing of all wedding aspects (she's definitely done these hundreds of times!). She has an amazing personality and is genuinely interested in what you want and how she can provide you with the best pictures and shots of your wedding. She is super responsive and was very patient with us as we were juggling many things at one time and weren't the most responsive. Overall I couldn't have imagined anyone else photograph my wedding and I was beyond happy with the pictures and quality of the photos! My wedding day was very very foggy and she still came out with amazing pictures.

    We are so happy that we found Jessie! We were planning a small wedding at our home and she was able to design a package that fit our budget. She's well worth the price! We connected with her instantly. She puts you right at ease which allows her to capture your true self and your love for one another. Jessie has the most calming influence. She is so organized and you know immediately that "she's got this". She prepares a timeline for you and will help you with the little details you might not remember when your nerves become a bit frayed from planning. Jessie loves her work and it shows in her amazing photos. She turned everything around so quickly and we couldn't have been happier! I could go on and on! We just loved having her be a part of our day and now our lives. Thanks Jessie!

    I can't say enough about Jessie. From helping me figure out an engagement outfit to re-bustling my gown, Jessie truly went above and beyond. She made us feel super comfortable in front of the camera and treated us and our families like she'd known us for years. She's incredibly professional- we actually got compliments on her dance floor set up! Not only did she give us support through the planning process and wedding day, she gave us beautiful pictures of family (and ourselves) that we will always treasure.

    Jessie is such an incredible photographer to work with. Her shots are beautiful but her real gift is making the act of taking photos feel natural and fun when they could feel stiff and awkward with the wrong photographer present. She is thoughtful and communicative throughout the process sending helpful tips and reminders before both of our shoots (engagement and the actual wedding). Jessie is completely capable of taking charge during the shoot; she is also flexible and takes her clients opinions and requests seriously. She was efficient and easily able to wrangle family members for photos without anyone feeling pushed around. We are so thrilled with the photos and I highly recommend working with Jessie!

    I can't even begin to express how awesome Jessie is. From the very beginning of our planning stages, Jessie was so responsive and helpful. I'm so happy we had the opportunity do an engagement shoot with her before our wedding - it helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera on the big. During the wedding, Jessie and Sarah felt like guests, not vendors! They were so calm and fun to be around. The photos are absolutely stunning - everything was captured beautifully. We couldn't ask for a better photographer, Jessie was amazing!

    I don't even know how to put to words how amazing Jessie is! She is an amazingly talented photographer but she is also an equally amazing person. She is so wonderful and easy to work with. She surpassed all of our expectations and ensured that the day was memorable! She also ensured that the entire day ran smoothly. She was so calm and easy going that it made my husband and I both feel at ease throughout our wedding day. She also took gorgeous engagement pictures of us. We were feeling a little bit uneasy about this idea but she immediately made us feel comfortable and it was fun! She is easy to communicate with, very responsive in answering any and all questions during the planning process. We are SO glad we went with Jessie to capture our big day; photography was a priority item for us since we knew the photos will help us relive the day for many many years to come. I could not recommend Jessie enough! She's the absolute best and we felt SO lucky and thankful she was our photographer!

    We could not say enough good things about Jessie! Not only is her work amazing, she is a joy to work with. She goes above and beyond to help ensure that the day is a success and everything runs smoothly and on time. Jessie immediately puts you at ease in front of the camera and makes the experience fun and comfortable. And the results are fantastic. She is very responsive in answering any and all questions during the planning process. We are SO glad we went with Jessie to capture our big day; photography was a priority item for us since photos best capture the memories of the day. Both our engagement and wedding pictures we will cherish forever!

    Jessie is SUCH a wonderful person to have take your wedding photos!!! She is personable and encouraging. I didn't get to meet Jessie in person before the actual day of my wedding since I was outside of her home base region, but I knew I wanted her to shoot my wedding. She spent a long time getting to know me over the phone and was very straightforward with the business side of things and after dealing with so many vendors, it was a relief to have someone who was so easy to work with.

    Her style is beautiful and I love all my pictures so much! Her assistant was fantastic too! She even thought to grab my sweater for me to have immediately after the reception (despite the chilly day we still decided to do the ceremony outside). Jessie and her assistants truly care about helping you enjoy your day and capturing it for you to enjoy forever. She displayed several shots immediately during the reception, which I didn't expect, but TOTALLY loved. It was exciting to see a couple awesome shots of my husband and I before we left, and my guests got a sneak peak to tide them over until the rest were available. I really loved working with her and enjoy keeping up with her work now! I would recommend her to everyone, she is really a sweet person who is extraordinarily talented!

    I love Jessica Smith Photography! I was lucky to hear about Jessica right before we needed to take our engagement photos and good thing, she did an AMAZING job on our engagement photos! She was easy to work with and the whole process was fun and exciting, sometimes I even forgot she had a camera on us! All her shots are perfectly candid, with some of us posing too, but the ratio was awesome! I can't wait to see all the amazing photos she is going to take for our wedding!

    We wish we could give Jessie more than 5 stars! If you are looking for a lifelong photographer, look no further. From the moment that we met with Jessie, we knew that she was a perfect fit for our wedding. She is so knowledgeable, flexible, and is really able to capture your personalities with every image. Neither my husband nor I are used to being professionally photographed (as most people aren't), but she was able to make us feel comfortable. We did an engagement session with Jessie and then she photographed our September 27th wedding, along with her assistant Andrew. Every image is more beautiful than the next. At the event, you honestly wouldn't even know that she was there as she stays behind the scenes, but captures every single moment. Jessie responds quickly to emails, knows pretty much everything that there is to know about weddings (right down to fixing a bridal gown bustle :)), she is flexible, kind, and incredibly thoughtful. We look forward to working with Jessie for many years to come as we take this journey as husband and wife and build our family. If you are looking for a lifelong photographer, I recommend Jessie a million times over; you will certainly not regret the decision!!

    Jessie and Joseph helped make our wedding truly unforgettable! First of all, Jessie was so quick to respond to all calls/emails, and so sweet to work with. We had an engagement shoot with her and she really did a great job of capturing our personalities in the photos. On the wedding day, Jessie and her second shooter, Joseph, made sure we got all of the shots we wanted while still staying on schedule. They coordinated with our DJ when we were running a little behind schedule to make sure we got to sneak out of the reception for some golden hour photos, and all of our pictures were beyond gorgeous. Our friends and family have frequently commented that our pictures perfectly captured the day and us. Admittedly, when we booked Jessie my husband thought we were spending too much for photography (even though her rates were competitive for the area), but when we got the pictures back he agreed that she was worth every penny! I can't wait to work with Jessie again!
