Hi, I'm Jessie.
or Jess.
Meet Jess
passionate, fun filled, and straight to the point. wears a lot of turquoise.
I'm the girl who is always laughing and saying things I probably shouldn’t. Think maaaaybe a little unprofessional. I'm very easygoing, incredibly extroverted (like HAS to talk to strangers in every line I'm in and on every flight, sorry not sorry). I believe people are the most interesting thing in the world, and I think that is why I enjoy photography so much. Photography is more than just a career for me, it is a creative passion. I see the world as a beautiful and magical place, and being able to photograph people in this world is a gift.
My Process
As a photographer who has been photographed, I understand the reservations and nervousness that comes with the thought of being in front of the camera.
Trust me, it is not as scary as you might think.
I don't stand in front of you and tell you to 'cheese', I take control, and help guide to make you two laugh, or connect, have a private moment together or swing you around like a rag doll.
On your wedding day, my method is more fly on the wall. I don't want you to spend your entire wedding day in front of the camera while the day passes you by. I want to photograph weddings where people are in it. Enjoying the day, talking to your guests, and being together is what your wedding day is about, the photos are just a bonus.
The true candids you love? Those aren't planned, its just me observing you living. Those are the weddings I want to photograph. Let's spend a few minutes together here and there through your wedding for those epic portraits, and I'll help make you a timeline just for that.
After booking, and a little closer to your wedding day, I send a large questionnaire to help me gauge just how much time we'll need for every aspect of the day. Don't care about bridal party pictures? We'll spend less time. You want really unique posed family photos? We'll spend more time there.
I want you to feel like you aren't being photographed, but feel confident that I am right there getting it all.
Let me be your fly on the wall.
