Darlene Sent on 10/07/2024Highly Recommend!
I had the pleasure of working with Jess on a recent wedding, and I couldn’t be more impressed with her work. She captured every special moment beautifully, blending seamlessly into the day while ensuring that nothing was missed. As a wedding vendor, her professionalism and easygoing nature was such a joy to collaborate with. I highly recommend Jess Lance Photo for anyone looking for exceptional wedding photography. -

Jenna Sent on 09/17/2022Creative, detail oriented and so easy to work with! Stunning photos.
We got married on 9/10/22 and working with Jess was easily one of the best parts of our special day. As we started planning, Jess was so helpful and provided us with generalized timeline to start with. As the time got closer to our actual wedding day, she gave us a digital form to use to highlight significant parts of our wedding day and portraits to photograph, and allow us to finalize our timeline. The day of, the excitement and energy coming from Jess was perfect. You can really tell she loves what she does, and really puts so much thought into all of her photos. She is super easy to work with and helped to guide us through all our photos and special moments of the day. We were actually running a little bit ahead of schedule, so she was able to add a few more “unplanned” shots which were phenomenal. We absolutely love her creativity and in the moment thinking, she is so detail oriented! We also worked with Courtney as an additional photographer for the day, and the teamwork and communication between them both was great. We can’t wait to see the rest of the gallery! -

Jess photographed my small pandemic wedding ceremony last year and my larger rescheduled reception this year. She did an amazing job with both. Both sets of photos capture the day perfectly, She is professional, kind, responsive, and overall a dream vendor to work with. I cannot recommend her enough. -

Easiest vendor to work with
There are MANY great qualities of JessLance but one that stands out is that she was always ten steps ahead of me and always on top of things. I never had to remind her of things or ask her any questions because she already had it done or figured out. This was super important to me because I am a very type A person! She was very accommodating and always super sweet anytime you need to speak with her. Absolute delight to work with her. Our pictures came out beautiful. So many beautiful moments captured. Also, DEFINITELY get the wedding albums! You pick the pictures and she organizes them into books for you. We bought one for our parents and can’t wait for our parents to see them! It honestly felt like she became a friend. She is a vendor I will honestly miss interacting with ;( -

Katlyn Sent on 10/13/2020Thank you Jess!
Planning a wedding in 2020 was anything but easy, with the exception of working with Jess. When COVID-19 hit and it looked like we would need to change our original wedding date, Jess was the first (and only) vendor that reached out to me pre-emptively. She worked with us to reschedule and was gracious and kind throughout the whole process. She even met with us on our original wedding date to take engagement photos, which really helped brighten a day that was bittersweet! Although our plans changed yet again for our 2nd date and we had a backyard wedding with 16 guests instead of 120, we decided it was important for us to still have photos of that day and I'm SO glad we did. My husband and I don't take a ton of photos of ourselves, and I am not generally comfortable in front of a camera, but I am so in love with the photos Jess took of our wedding day. It's been wonderful to be able to share them with our family and friends who could not be with us, so they mean even more to me than I would have anticipated. I would recommend Jess to anyone in a heartbeat! -

Thais Sent on 03/31/2020We love jess!
We feel so fortunate to have been able to have Jess as our wedding photographer. From start to finish she was professional and helpful. We absolutely loved her candid style and found that the perfect fit for us. We also highly recommend doing an engagement shoot with her, as it gave us not only beautiful pictures but a chance to “practice poses”. The second photographer she brought along was equally talented and super helpful, he saved the day when the grooms tie was broken and was able to repair it quickly with a safety pin. Our finished pictures were so beautiful and given to us in a timely manner, we received so many compliments on them. Jess’ calm presence may the day run very smoothly and stress-free. Thank you, Jess!

Absolutely amazing
We truly lucked out having Jess as our photographer. She’s talented, responsive, and professional, yet also someone you may want to consider a friend by the end of the experience. Jess takes the time to get to know you as a couple, and learn what matters to you in order to capture the memories of a day that truthfully goes by too quickly. You won’t even notice her doing it because she’s swift, highly organized, and keeps things fun.
We were fortunate enough to do a walkthrough at the venue beforehand which allowed us to plan photo ops and save us time the day of. I appreciate her interest in watching our choreographed dance ahead of time, so she could anticipate photos (and keep it a secret from the wedding party). Jess is knowledgeable and handles hiccups with ease. We couldn’t be happier with her, the photographs, or the DVD she put together that retells our beautiful day. She is fantastic to work with, and we are excited to recommend her! -

Fantastic photographer
We loved working with Jess! She was so personable, and easy to communicate with, and flexible with our schedule (working full time and getting married about an hour from our home). We loved that she had lots of full galleries on her website, which made us confident in her photography throughout the whole day, unlike some photographers that only show you their "best of" shots on their websites. I also went back to the galleries a few times, before our engagement shoot and wedding, for some ideas of what kind of poses and types of photos I liked. She delivered sneak peeks very quickly, which was exactly what a bride wants, and our photos were all ready in a reasonable amount of time--especially since she was probably trying to get out tons of work before her maternity leave. She did our wedding about 6 months pregnant and didn't miss a single beat the whole day! -

Shannon Sent on 05/20/2018My husband has known Jess since high school which made her a very easy choice for us. Jess photographed our actual engagement as well so we were familiar with her already. She has been amazing. We had an initial meeting with Jess to discuss different packages and items that she offered. We were able to make adjustments to our package prior to the wedding. Jess and her 2nd photographer worked very well together and made the day extremely comfortable and stress free for us. Jess was extremely responsive to any questions or concerns that we had and would answer emails very fast. Jess has a questionnaire that she sends you which really helps you organize your thoughts. It deals with the pre-ceremony timeline such as where and when the bride and groom will be getting ready and specific timing. The questionnaire also has a list of specific photos that the bride and groom want and Jess stuck to that list and made sure we got a photo with every person that we checked off and wrote down. If you have specific visions of how you want something, just speak with her about it and she will make it happen. Additionally we recommend going to her studio in person to see options of photo books and canvas prints. Jess went out of her way to meet us prior to the wedding at the venue (over an hour drive for her). She had wanted to come up with a contingency plan if it were to rain. The walk through was helpful for us and ironed out some last minute details. In addition to being helpful, calm, and kind, Jess is a lot of fun to work with. After the ceremony, she was so clear in her instructions and made it easy to take photos as a group. She directed us efficiently and made the portrait part of the wedding faster than expected. The next day, she sent us a few sneak peak photos. The photos looked incredible and we can’t wait to see the rest! We highly recommend Jess to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. She was a pleasure to work with and is such a sweet person at heart.

Marykathryn Sent on 12/16/2017From doing our engagement photos in the snow to capturing every moment at our wedding Jess was always on top of everything! She was always willing to take our ideas and run with them. She got us our photo proofs so quickly we were still on our honeymoon! If your looking for a photographer who is crative, fun and excited about helping you capture your day, this is the photographer for you.

Kerri Sent on 12/16/2017Jess has been a good friend of mine for years, and it was a huge honor for her to do our engagement and wedding pictures. She does beautiful work, and captured so many pictures from our wedding that we absolutely love. Jess and her assistant, Margit, were completely wonderful and professional throughout the day and after. They worked very hard to get us our pictures as soon as they could, and they did a wonderful job! I also really liked that they blended in with our guests, and I didn't notice they were taking pictures, which was great because they captured a lot of great candid moments. I highly recommend Jess to anyone who is thinking of hiring her.

Amber Sent on 12/03/2017Jess did an amazing job capturing our wedding day just as we envisioned! She was extremely professional making us feel very comfortable through the entire process. Her attentiveness to detail and amazing eye for photography truly captured our day perfectly. We couldn't have asked for anyone better! I would highly recommend her to anyone- you will not be disappointed.

Suzanne Sent on 12/03/2017We were very impressed with Jess of Jesslance Photography. Jess Is professional with a great personality. She has a way of making her subjects feel relaxed. My new husband and I do not like being in front of a camera, but Jess made everyone feel comfortable. She was well organized and carried a checklist of all the photos we requested and made sure those pictures were taken. The only thing we didn't do that I wish we had, was have two photographers for the ceremony. Jess did a fine job on her own, but two photographers would have caught two angles at the same time. I would highly recommend Jesslance Photography

Amy Sent on 12/03/2017We both grew up in the same town as Jess and never would have thought she’d do our engagement and wedding photos! She is literally amazing, so professional and fun and so talented. She exceeded our expectations for our wedding photos and everyone I have shared the link with has said they have never seen so many photos from a wedding, and so many beautiful ones at that! I would recommend her a thousand times over to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

Sarah Sent on 11/06/2017You want a photographer like Jess for your wedding, in fact... you want Jess to be your photographer- trust me. Jess was one of the first vendors that we booked for our wedding (booked in Winter/Spring 2015-16 for October 2017 wedding) and besides the fact that our engagement and wedding photos are beautiful, she is genuinely interested in helping to make your vision and your day come to life. There were so many aspects of our day that I didn't even think of (running out of daylight hours for photos, places onsite to take specific photos, etc)... but Jess always had a solution. She is knowledgable in the industry and was able to direct me to two other vendors the we used for styling and videography. Jess will capture the candid, natural moments of your day-- and listen to all of your Pinterest ideas and peek at your board to see what inspires you so that she can capture the essence of you and your guests. She will bring with her a second shooter, if you choose that option, who is equally as talented and able to capture moments that would otherwise go undocumented with only one photog on site! Jess is a magnificent and talented photographer, professional, and fun-- everything you want in a wedding vendor. Also, props to anyone who can organize a bridal party of almost 20 in .5 seconds-- that alone deserves 10 stars.

Kelley Sent on 09/07/2017We cannot say enough great things about Jess! She is a pleasure to work with and is so refreshingly down to earth! We had so much fun at our meetings talking for hours as she made sure all of our concerns were addressed. She and her second photographer (Mike) did a fabulous job capturing all of the moments of our day. Our photos were edited SUPER quick as well as the unedited versions being uploaded the same weekend!! The shots are wonderful and we are so happy we trusted Jess and her creativity to capture every moment :)
We would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs a photographer! -
