    The BEST experience!

    We could not have asked for a kinder, more genuine photographer to capture our precious moments. Jessie shot our engagement photos and wedding, and we could not have been happier. She made us completely comfortable behind the camera from the very beginning. Every one of her photos seriously look like a work of art. She is so talented and her artistry really shines through in all of her work. Jessie captured both candids and formals at the wedding that conveyed all of the many emotions of the day. THE BEST!!!

    Jessie is absolutely amazing to work with. She is so sweet & makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Her work is incredible- it’s light, airy and speaks for itself.

    She is great at what she does and goes above and beyond to make your day magical! Thank you, Jessie!

    Sweetest Photographer & AMAZING work!!!

    I stumbled upon Jessie's work on a friend's instagram and fell in love with all the photos. I quickly reached out to Jessie and asked her to work with me on my wedding day. Jessie was extremely sweet and professional from the first conversation. I encourage Jessie to take full reign of our wedding day, as my husband and I had no clue what we wanted. Jessie stepped up to the challenge and we are beyond thrilled with our sneak previews!!! Our families are excited to see the entire album and mentioned how lovely Jessie was throughout our wedding day. I am super thankful to have Jessie by my side and recommending her to anyone looking for a fine art photographer. Hopefully I have another chance to work with her again for any future family photo sessions ;)

    You simply must hire Jessie!

    Jessie was extremely professional, easy to work with and has such a beautiful personality. From planning to the day of the ceremony, Jessie was amazing! She has an eye for detail and was able to perfectly capture all aspects of our wedding day. I would jump at the opportunity to work with her again!

    The perfect choice!

    One of the best decisions that we made when planning our daughter's wedding was getting Jessie to be our photographer. I knew she was the one after our first phone conversation. She just became part of our family that day! She made everything so special and easy! She captured moments that are treasures! The pictures are absolutely amazing and perfect! I cannot even imagine the day without her now. Best decision ever.

    Jessie is simply the best!

    Jessie was a joy to work with! It was like talking to a dear friend from our initial conversations through our album ordering. She made great suggestions for the wedding, offered vendor contacts and really soothed any fears we had regarding how to work the flow of our day. She was flexible with our major changes required for the pandemic and worked safely and diligently to make sure we still had beautiful wedding images. She put us at ease during photos and the result was lovely and natural photographs. It was such a wonderful experience. Make sure you order an album as well, it is more beautiful than we could have imagined! I would not hesitate to book Jessie and her team, I recommend them highly!

    Best photographer ever!

    If you are looking for a great experience, a wonderful photographer and breathtakingly beautiful photos of the best day of your life, then Jessie is your girl! I’ve gotten so many compliments on our wedding day photos! The quality of Jessie’s photos are superior to any other. You won’t regret choosing her for your big day or any occasion!

    Would hire again and again

    I cannot say enough positive things about Jessie and the fantastic engagement photo experience she provided my fiancé and me. Her wardrobe and location recommendations were insightful and incredibly helpful. She was professional but also so kind and approachable in a way that made us feel truly comfortable and "ourselves" in front of the camera. If I had a dollar for every friend of mine that has asked who did our engagement photos, it would pay for the entire wedding! The finished product exceeded every expectation I had, and I am so thankful to Jessie for capturing so many beautiful moments for us! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a stress-free experience because Jessie absolutely delivers! To quote my photo-reluctant fiancé, "That was actually pretty fun."

    Talented, Beautiful, Genuine, Relaxed

    We used Jessie for our engagement and wedding photos and are absolutely thrilled with her work. We love her photography style and personality, so she was a true pleasure to work with. Our engagement photos were absolutely beautiful. She is genuinely kind and calm which makes it very easy to relax around her. She was very organized on the day of our wedding. It is impressive how she alternates between 3 different cameras for a digital and film experience. She is prompt to respond to text and email. She had wonderful ideas for our engagement photos, such as outfits/time of day etc and our wedding such as suggesting an exit with ribbon wands - yet, she was always respectful of our likes/dislikes. We loved working with her and love how she captures so many beautiful moments. Her style is candid, dreamy, and elegant. HIGHLY recommend!

    Amazing wedding photos

    Jessie went above and beyond with the photos for our wedding. She was organized, pleasant, creative, genuine, and easy to work with. She put up with our many requests for photos and made every effort to make sure we got exactly what we were looking for our wedding. She takes pictures in both digital and film, and gave us full access to all of the photos she took. If you're looking for someone you can count on to take amazing photos for your big day, I would highly recommend Jessie for any occasion and especially for a wedding!

    Amazing Photographer

    Jessie is an extremely talented photographer who captured my son's proposal, the engagement photos, his fiancée's bridal photos and the wedding. She is so easy to work with and makes sure that everything is set up just right to capture all the beauty of the couple and their surroundings. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a great photographer!

    Wonderful photographer

    Jessie is an amazing photographer and an amazing person! I cannot imagine having gone through my daughter's engagement and wedding experience without Jessie's expertise and sweet spirit. Jessie always put so much thought and creativity into each of my daughter and her fiancée's photo sessions, making certain that the photos revealed their personalities and their love story. Jessie goes beyond her call of duty as a photographer and assists in any way necessary to ensure a perfect wedding day! Words really cannot express how wonderful Jessie Barksdale is! Anyone can see from her photos that she is beyond talented and creative....but, if you want a photographer that is going to be there to make certain that the bride and groom are going to have their perfect wedding day, I highly recommend Jessie!!

    Jessie is so talented! Our experience was absolutely wonderful!

    I cannot say enough positive things about Jessie! Her talent and passion shines through in every single picture she captures! She photographed our proposal, engagement pictures, my bridal pictures, and our wedding. Our pictures are more than what we ever imagined them to be. She ensures that she captures every single detail and does it so flawlessly. She is so easy and comfortable to work with. She is so creative and puts so much thought and effort in every picture. Our whole engagement and wedding day would not have been the same without Jessie! I have pictures I will cherish forever thanks to Jessie!! I highly recommend Jessie Barksdale Photography!!

    Everything and more!!!

    Jessie was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding! From the beginning, Jessie was always responsive, kind, and courteous. I didn't want many traditional wedding pictures, and Jessie made my dreams come true! I have a massive family, so I was slightly nervous about getting all the group pictures with done. She was able to stick to our timelines and took all of the pictures we requested. She and her assistant were so organized taking the pictures and helped everyone pose appropriately. We have 4 sons, and she was able to pose them quickly and keep them smiling. That's a feat in itself. Two days before our wedding, one of our sons broke his thumb. Jessie was able to hide the bright, red cast on his arm in all of our traditional pictures. I haven't seen a picture yet that I don't love! We have received so many compliments on our pictures. We couldn't have picked a better photographer for our wedding!

    Amazing photography

    My daughter researched many photographers in our area. She met with Jessie originally for coffee to discuss her wedding plans. We were so grateful to find her. Jessie also met with with us at our venue and she was very, very helpful in deciding on details for photos and lighting. We have many awesome things to say about our photographer. She was organized, patient, detail oriented and very kind during our entire wedding process. The photos are so amazing and more like artwork. They are wedding photos we will treasure forever.

    Jessie Barksdale photographed my daughter's wedding recently, and we were so very pleased!! Jessie is professional, kind, and puts everyone at ease.

    Jessie is absolutely amazing and her work is just stunning! She is passionate and enthusiastic about her photography, and was so helpful to me before and on the wedding day all the way down to making sure I looked great in every picture. I now have the most amazing pictures to look back at my wedding and I could not have asked for a more perfect experience! Jessie is the BEST.

    If I could give more than 5 Stars, I certainly would! My daughter's wedding day is recorded with the most beautiful photographs possible. Jessie has a Gift! She has the ability to tell your story through said gift! Prior to the wedding, she was always available to discuss ideas and "wants". The day of the wedding she kept a calm to all that were photographed. On said Wedding Day it was a RAINY day. All were worried that we would have to move the wedding inside. Jessie started taking her "inside" photos.. Bride getting ready; wedding shoes; wedding dress; rings.. And we all prayed for the storms to pass. The storm did pass and Jessie got the Bride and her Bridesmaids outside and beautifully photographed before I even knew the rain had stopped. Then the Groomsmen. She took great photos of them inside and out. Looking back, was she in two places at one time?? Jessie has a gift for bringing people together, and an eye for where and when to take a photo. We have "posed for" photos, that are LOVELY, and we have photos that we did not even know were taken, that are LOVELY!

    I recommend that you do yourself a favor and just start with a phone call to her. You will not be sorry. She captured a day. She captured love. She captured a Story...a Love Story!

    Thank You, Jessie!

    Jessie captures absolutely breathtaking images! As soon as we got engaged I knew I wanted her to capture our special day because of her amazing talent. She puts such a personal touch into her work and her photographs show it. I have been absolutely blown away by the photographs our wedding and engagement session! We have received so many compliments about our pictures! In addition to her amazing talent, Jessie is so easy to work with! I can't think of enough great things to say about Jessie and her incredible talent! I might be biased, but I think she is the best!!

    Jessie was so wonderful to work with! My dress came in at the very last minute and she still made time to do my bridal photos and had one printed in time to frame for the reception. My photos were beautiful and captured the day perfectly!

    I give Jessie 5 stars without hesitation!!! The first time my daughter and I met with Jessie to discuss the possibility of her being the wedding photographer, we both left the meeting knowing that we need not look any further. Jessie and my daughter hit it off immediately due to Jessie's friendly personality, patience in answering questions, and salesmanship. We were very impressed with her work and felt her prices were right in line with other photographers we had researched. And I am here to report that Jessie did not disappoint. My daughter and her fiancé chose an outside wedding which turned out to be a beautiful fall day. Jessie took advantage of the colors in the trees and the gorgeous running river that ran behind the altar. She captured so many special moments from the time the wedding party started getting ready until the happy couple drove off to start their life. Jessie took shots that we didn't even know she had taken until we got the pictures back. So many family and friend and group pictures that will be forever treasured. Jessie even handled our family situation (divorced parents) so that no one felt uncomfortable. If you are a bride that is looking for a photographer you will be so pleased if you book Jessie. Your wedding shots are not something a bride needs to take a chance with a friend or a family member, but use someone that is professional. Jessie Barksdale will produce pictures that you will be able to look back on your wedding day for years to come and relive every moment of your special day!

    Jessie is a true professional photographer. She has that special touch to capture the most intimate details and she did exactly that for my daughter's wedding. She is the kind of photographer that listens to what you want but also brings fresh ideas as well. We cannot wait to work with her in the future.

    Jessie was an absolute dream to work with, and I could not be happier with the pictures she took for my wedding! She bent over backwards to capture every aspect of my wedding, especially emotions and those priceless candid moments. She was so genuine and easy to work with. We met together 2-3 times before my wedding to discuss the types of images I wanted, one of the times being at the venue so she could get a feel of it before the day- she even stayed after I left to scope out the best places to shoot on the grounds. She gave honest, up-front advice, which I think any bride could appreciate, and posted sneak peek pics the day and week following my wedding so I could have pics to post from the day for family to see...which I was very grateful for! She made me feel gorgeous and calm on my big day, and that's all any bride can ask for in my humble opinion.

    I would recommend Jessie and her beautiful, natural light photography to anyone! There's nothing I would change about my wedding, especially my photographer!

    My wife loves all of the pictures Jessie captured on our wedding day - which all guys should agree is the only thing that really matters! (I thought they were great too though). We will definitely work with Jessie again. She doesn't disappoint!
