HI FRIENDS
you can call me Jess
SO YOU'RE DYING TO KNOW WHO YOU ARE HIRING...
Let me guess, you've researched a million venues, did your cake testing (um jealous, wish I would have been there too) and now you're scoping the world wide web for that "YASSS" feeling when finding the best photographer - which you should be! Because truly, you shouldn't hire just anyone to capture such special memories..

If you're looking for a new friend, confidant, biggest fan, you'll find it here paired with timeless photos of you and your loved ones. I am so incredibly fortunate to be in a world surrounded by so much beauty, love, happiness and yummy wedding food. THIS is what makes my heart beat the hardest! I want to be more than just a random vendor that shows up at your wedding - I value deep connections with my clients. Life can be messy, and that is what I'm all about. I want to capture the big and the small moments. The raw, messy and the goofy moments. I don't show up to your wedding to take surface level photos - you know, the ones of decor that blow up on social media? I want to preserve the memories that spark emotion and make you re-live your day every time you look at them.
