    Excellent service

    Me and my husband love Jessica. We would hire her again. He photos are amazing. She was able to stay a few hours longer than we originally had asked her. We love the atmosphere that she helped create at the wedding.

    The best photographer around!!!

    I am a makeup artist from Rhode Island and I’ve worked with Jessica several times! Fitness shoots, business headshots, etc. She is so easy to work with and we always have the best time! Anyone who has worked along side Jess knows how talented she is! Her pictures ALWAYS come out stunning and she makes all clients feel comfortable in front of the camera. Definitely look forward to work with her again! The latest boudoir shoot we’ve worked on together came out INCREDIBLE!!!! I literally downloaded every single picture from the album.

    100/10 must hire

    We hired Jess an entire year before our wedding that we held in 11/12/23. From our first interaction to the last she was her authentic self and I knew she was a perfect fit. She not only held continued communication leading up to the wedding, she kept us in the loop during & after as well as throughout her editing process. On our wedding day she went above & beyond to make sure everything was handled including my minor nervous breakdown when we couldn’t find extra clothes for our youngest daughter 🤦🏼‍♀️ She handled our chaos like the true boss she is & let me tell you, it shows in our pictures. She captured everything we had asked exactly how we envisioned it and then some. Everyone that attended our wedding complimented her presence & talent anticipating our photos. To say no one was disappointed is an understatement. Everyone is obsessed with our photos including us. I keep saying I’m ready to wallpaper our house with them. Im ready to find more reasons to hire her again. 100/10 recommend Jess to capture any special moment you have. We hired a photographer & gained a friend ❤️

    Boat Engagement Photoshoot

    We hired Jessica to shoot our engagement pictures. She did an amazing job. We had asked her to join us on our boat to capture our love. We both had never been in a photo shoot before but from the moment she arrived to the very end, Jessica made us feel comfortable which made it easier for us to take pictures. We waited a few weeks and when we got our pictures back, we were blown away on how beautiful they were. She was able to capture a moment in time that will never forget. Jessica’s friendly and open minded energy helped make our picture that much better. Her editing techniques captured our true love story that we can keep forever. Thank you Jessica for being amazing. We love you.

    BEST Wedding photographer!

    We hired Jessica as our wedding photographer and cannot recommend her highly enough!! In addition to taking beautiful photos that capture the moment she also is so much fun to be around! As someone who personally doesn't love taking a lot of photos, Jessica really made it feel comfortable and natural. We really couldn't have hoped for a better experience and we now have hundreds of beautiful pictures from our special day.

    What an amazing day! I was lucky to work with you guys🖤 Both me & my partner / second shooter Adam had such a wonderful time photographing your fabulous wedding!!! Thank you for this wonderful review!

    Jessica is amazing

    Jessica responded to my email right away, and minutes after looking at her work my husband and I booked her for our wedding. She offered an engagement shoot where we actually met in person! She was absolutely amazing and made the process so comfortable. The pictures came out beautiful, I couldn’t wait to see what she would do with the actual wedding photos! My wedding photos are magical and Jessica was amazing from the minutes she got there while we were getting ready all the way til the end of the night! Her personality shines through and all my guest loved her!! I would 1000% percent Recommend jessica-Tonya photography to everyone and anyone! I promise you’ll be pleased, and feel like u made a new friend!!

    A Dream Come True!

    Jess is the best of the best! When I first started researching wedding photographers, I knew that my Fiancé and I wanted to invest in keepsakes that we would cherish for a lifetime. When I saw Jess’s portfolio, I knew she was the one! She helped us create a custom Wedding package that included an engagement shoot and digital copies of our pictures. For our engagement photos, we wanted high-quality warm, fun, vibrant, and natural photos. All qualities that my partner and I share, and boy did Jess deliver! From the moment I hired her, she became our most trusted advisor, and best friend. From hour-long video chats to narrow down our vision, to calming my nerves when we had to change location last minute, she was there for me. At the engagement photo shoot, she set the tone as lighthearted, fun, and romantic, and boosted our confidence! We just had a blast! When we received our engagement photos back just one week later, she delivered them in an elegant, professional password-protected digital portfolio. The photos are beautiful! We are beyond pleased with how they came out, and the energy at the shoot came through in the infectious laughter and intimate moments Jess captured.

    UPDATE:

    For our Wedding, Jess had many video chats with us about what we wanted for our big day, and, together, we came up with a foolproof plan. Unfortunately, 3 days before the Wedding Disaster struck! Jess fell and broke her foot, and would not be able to shoot our wedding! Luckily for us, Jess is the ultimate wedding industry professional, and before she could even call me to tell me what happened, she already had a solution. She arranged for her long-time colleague Adam Franco to shoot the wedding, and even threw in an extra hour of photography to make up for the last-minute change. Jess had already been such a big support over the wedding planning journey, that I knew I could trust her judgement, and that Adam would be a great photographer. On the day of, he was on time, prepared with the shot-list I had compiled with Jess in hand, and he had a great manner with our bridal party and close family during formal portraits. The rest of the day, I barely noticed his presence as he flitted around and grabbed the most amazing shots of the wedding. This was absolutely the best day of our lives, and Adam felt like an old friend; we were totally comfortable with him. After the wedding, Jess took over by editing the photographs that Adam had captured. Fast forward to about 4 weeks later, and Jess mailed me a USB with a lovely note. In total, we received 791 crisp, clear, high resolution and beautifully edited Wedding Day photos. I cannot begin to express how happy we are with these photos. Some of my family members have suffered from life-threatening health issues in recent years, and to have high quality, formal and informal professional photos of them all, happy and healthy, is so meaningful. I plan on ordering prints of these photos from Jess as Christmas presents for my Family.

    Jess is simply the best there is. Her professionalism, her fun loving personality, her skills, and most importantly, her friendship set her head and shoulders above other photographers. I plan on working with her whenever I can. I look forward to our future maternity shoots and family Christmas cards for many years to come. Do yourself a favor and hire Jess as your Wedding Day Photographer. You won't regret it

    Amazing Photo Shoot

    I found Jessica on Thumbtack and she was incredibly professional. This was our first ever professional photo shoot and we were very nervous. She helped us find a really good place to take the photos at and during our shoot she made us feel very comfortable and the photos came out great! Overall we had a wonderful experience with Jessica and would recommend her to anyone. After our shoot she gave us more photos than we’re supposed to be in the package. She also provided sneak peaks of her editing of our photos and her excitement for how they were coming out really made it a good experience. The photos came out vibrant and beautiful. We had a dog in our photos and she was very sweet to the dog and made sure we were able to have her in our photos! We will definitely be hiring Jessica for our wedding! Thank you!!

    Perfect surprise engagement

    Jessica played an intricate part in my fiancé’s proposal. She was amazing to work with and the prepared the proposal area beautifully. The flower package was extraordinary and well worth it. Jessica was extremely professional, responsive and flexible. Her work left us speechless. We were even more amazed when she informed us that she managed to get the special moment recorded on film. We highly recommend and look forward to working with her again. Such a magical moment

    Absolutely amazing!!!

    My wife came across Jessica’s information online and we decided that she was the one for us. I knew we had a made the right choice when my wife said that she felt like she “just met a new friend” after the initial meeting with Jess. On the wedding day, Mother Nature graced us with a rain that was falling sideways, which required us to change some of our planned pictures. Jess was on top of things and incredibly flexible and quick to respond to thoughts/suggestions on what pictures we would like for our first look shots. Her respect for the moment was not lost on us either when the tears flowed during our first look while Jess patiently, quietly and expertly moved around capturing the moment perfectly.
    I continually smiled after hearing the click of the camera because it was usually followed by a squeal of excitement from Jess looking at the screen on her camera. When her 2nd shooter, Adam, mentioned an idea, the excitement and subsequent “oooo good call!” from Jess just filled the room with even more positive energy. Day turned to night, and as the reception began, the skies cleared. Jess, being the opportunist, rounded up as many people as she could for outdoor shots under the twinkle lights. I knew she was feeling the moment when she dragged my wife and I over to a fire pit and positioned us on one side, and then laid down on the ground on the opposite side. After hearing multiple “oh heck yea this is gunna be awesome”, our excitement for the final product grew even more! It has now been 2-weeks since our wedding, and we still mention how much fun Jess was to have at our wedding. Not just as a professional photographer, but as a guest. She is personable, social, and constantly smiling/laughing! We are incredibly excited to see what the images look like once we receive them. On behalf of the new Mr & Mrs Fallon, I want to humbly thank Jess and Adam for adding another positive story to a wedding that will be remembered forever.

    Hire her!

    We used Jessica for our engagement photos and I am so happy we did. We went with a location that wasn’t on her recommended list and she was totally fine with that. We saw a feature online at the place that we wanted a picture at, but we didn’t know where it was so Jessica went around to ask people with no hesitation! She was fun and her prices are very affordable so we feel like we got so much more than what we paid for!

    Flexibility

    We had our photographer pull out of our wedding due to COVID concerns with just a week until the wedding. We contacted Jessica at that moment and she agreed to photograph our wedding. Jessica worked with our day of schedule, of which we were running behind and photographed at a venue she had never been at before. She captured our day PERFECTLY and definitely told the story of our wedding day through her lens.

    Best Wedding and Event Photography

    I can’t thank Jessica enough for helping me relax when I was going crazy on my wedding day. It was honestly the most stressed I have ever been. My mood was so off that day but her hilarious bubbly happy cute self helped me get myself together. Beyond taking photos, Jessica helped me with so many tiny things that happened on my wedding day. I didn’t have a coordinator she was so valuable. Jessica was beyond a pleasure to be around and I am so happy she was there on my special day! Ps. You can tell she has a passion for photography and she gets suuuuper excited to show you how a photo came out when it looks amazing from her camera. She is so talented. 100/100 recommend!

    Jessica helped us create lasting memories with her picture perfect skills

    Jessica was absolutely amazing! It was our first time visiting Providence and she made us feel welcomed and helped me with the planning of the engagement. She helped with recommendations and was a great friend during our entire process.

    Besides being an amazing person, her quality of work is top notch. She made our engagement that much more special and created lasting memories for us. Jessica had great ideas for photos and has an ability to really capture the moment. She also had our entire album ready to view in a day.

    It was more than we could have asked for or expected. I would recommend Jessica every time for any occasion.

    Thank you Jessica,

    -Nick

    She became our best friend!

    Jessica came to our wedding and instantly became our friend! She is friendly, energetic and as soon as my family met her they fell in love and were openly asking her to take their picture and she was so creative! After all the changes my husband and I had to make to our wedding because of COVID it was such a relief knowing we had someone we could trust to take pictures and capture moments we didn't even know were happening. My husband and I are already talking about future events we could hire her for again and a month after the wedding we're still hearing from our guests about how much they loved our photographer. I cannot express enough how much we loved and enjoyed having Jessica, she truly became more of a friend than a vendor.

    Jessica played an intricate part in my fiancé’s proposal. She was amazing to work with and the prepared the proposal area beautifully. The flower package was extraordinary and well worth it. Jessica was extremely professional, responsive and flexible. Her work left us speechless. We were even more amazed when she informed us that she managed to get the special moment recorded on film. We highly recommend and look forward to working with her again. Such a magical moment.

    Just like family!

    Jessica is amazing! I booked a pre-wedding boudoir shoot and my wedding with her and I would recommend her to anyone! Most of our guests didn’t even realize she was the photographer that’s how well she blended in getting all of the best shots!! She is an absolute pleasure to work with! ❤️
