Hi! I’m Jess. I approach wedding photography with a photo journalistic eye, seeking out the authentic experiences of your day rather than fabricated moments. I shoot mostly film, medium format and 35mm, as well as a little bit of digital, to create timeless imagery that ages gracefully. I am trained as a fine art photographer, studying at the School of Visual Arts in NYC, and SFAI. I live in Portland, OR but am happy to travel.

Jess was incredible to work with. She was kind, professional and easy to work with. She flowed easily among the guests and wedding party and everyone enjoyed her presence. Jess captured incredibly beautiful and raw moments with her film photography that are not your traditional posed wedding photos. Jess will be at the top of my list for wedding photographer recommendations.

Hi I’m Emma, an AR based, traveling photographer! My style is a blend of film, editorial, and artfully nostalgic imagery. I’m an observant documenter at heart. I was heavily raised on indie & coming of age films, so being moved by visuals is my cup of tea!! When it comes to your day, my goal is to direct when needed without interfering with the moment. I want to capture your spouse shedding a tear, your Uncle Jim going for his second plate of food, and your bff busting it down on the dance floor. I prefer to be a fly on the wall for these moments, but put on fergalicious and you leave me no choice but to hit the dance floor.

Emma is AMAZING! She brought our vision to life above and beyond what I could have imagined. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and we genuinely had so much fun taking photos. The photos felt like us, which was the most important thing for us. 1000/10 would recommend her!!

Hey, how cool of you to end up here. I promise not to bore you with a bunch of flowery language or over-the-top promises. I love to document real moments. Weddings, elopements, couples' shenanigans - you name it, I am here for it. I do this with a healthy dose of humor, a dash of sarcasm and a whole lot of heart. So if you're looking for someone to capture your day in all its imperfect glory, say something, let's make it happen.

Loy at Sweet Lime takes some great photos. He was a joy to work with and helped set the room up by providing a suggestion that none of the restaurant staff, or us, had thought of which ended up working swimmingly. The day of the wedding, he was present but also not too if that makes sense. He was kind enough to send us a couple preview shots while we impatiently/patiently waited. The photos are well worth the wait. I would be happy to recommend Sweet Lime Photography. You will not be disappointed in his service.

Garrett & Tamara are a New York-based musical duo and songwriting team. The couple's journey began in 2015 after matching on the popular dating app, Tinder. The two quickly bonded over their love of music and began writing and performing together. On stage, they weave together a uniquely vibrant fusion of classic r&b/soul and contemporary singer/songwriter, rich with two part vocal harmonies and lush guitar arrangements.

Garrett and Tamara were perfect in every way for our ceremony and cocktail hour. They are so incredibly talented and our guests kept raving to us about how amazing they were. My husband and I spent the majority of our cocktail hour standing right next to them because they were so good! Not to mention that they are both warm, funny, kind, and just complete joys to hang out with. The pre-wedding communication with them was easy and professional. I can’t recommend them enough!

Photos of the intangible: from moments of stillness to bursts of joy. What does love look like? A client once told me that I captured things in their wedding photos that until then they had only ever felt. I saw this as the ultimate compliment. My goal in every session is to do just that: Turn an intangible feeling into a tangible image that will make your heart soar every time you see it. But what does love look like?

From the moment we connected with Brooke, we knew she would be the perfect photographer to capture our special day. Her communication style is fast, effective, and clear, putting us at ease every step of the way. The quality of Brooke's work is truly incredible - her natural, breathtaking photos effortlessly capture the emotions and beauty of our love. Brooke made us feel incredibly comfortable, especially as an LGBTQIA couple, and she was always prepared with creative pose ideas, constantly trying new things to get the perfect shot. Looking at our photos brings us right back to that moment in time and the wave of emotions we felt - Brooke's talent for naturally showcasing the beauty of our love is unparalleled. We are beyond thrilled with the photos from our wedding day and could not recommend Brooke Seminick Photography more highly.

Our wedding band is a group of 5 best friends with BIG personalities. The whole musical aspect of the industry was run by cookie-cutter wedding bands that looked so much more corporate than artistic. So many couple's feel trapped into choosing a band that would simply play songs, but not give the crowd a performance. The reception is meant to be high energy, interactive, and engaging. As artists that tour the country and live the music we play, we truly believe we are the best in the country at providing our weddings with something real. Something that they can remember and take home with them for years to come.

These guys have been a staple of Charleston for over 4 years. Everyone knows them, now they are servicing all of the Carolinas and just performed at my sisters wedding last month. They're just the best. Saxophone is killer, drummer is s legend. Look at their google reviews, there videos, all there info shows it, that they know what they're doing, and they do it well.

What obsesses me with photography the most is that I get to capture a moment in time that we all can recall back to. This can be a simple photo with a friend or an intimate moment with a loved one. All these moments hold a special place in all of us. This is what your wedding day is supposed to be about. A day filled with the memories of all your loved ones as you celebrate the start of a new journey together. A day filled with laughter, cheers, and tears and I want to be there to capture it all! If are planning a wedding, elopement, or engagement, please feel free to browse my work and if it resonates with you don't hesitate to reach out!

My father was a professional photographer for many years so when planning our wedding, my husband and I knew that finding a talented photographer was at the top of our priority list. We consider ourselves incredibly fortunate to have discovered Kevin because he exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we met Kevin, he had a way of making us feel completely at ease in front of the camera. He not only captured stunning posed photos but also effortlessly seized beautiful candid moments. Kevin's talent was apparent when he was able to work with our overcast weather and managed to frame and capture each shot like a true work of art. Every single photo we received perfectly conveyed the emotions and energy of our special day. What truly amazed us was the speed at which he delivered about 47 sneak-peek photos just one day after the wedding, and each of them was breathtakingly beautiful. My father would have undoubtedly been proud and delighted with the work Kevin accomplished on our wedding day. Kevin's talent has left us with cherished memories in the form of these stunning photographs.

I am lucky; I get to do what I love for a living, have a ton of fun doing it, and meet a lot of great people along the way. It's a bonus that I get to also travel a lot for it as well. I hope to always bring that enthusiasm and fun to every wedding as well. I tell myself before every wedding to treat it like it was my very first. I do only weddings, and I only do 30 per year. This lets me focus on my couples and their weddings, and to tell their stories completely. Over 400 weddings spanning 12+ years. And I have never missed a one. Not even late. I may not take myself too seriously, but I take my commitment to my couple seriously.

I’ve always loved photography. Yet, it wasn’t until 2008 when I began to travel internationally for work that decided to bring my Nikon D750. I was amazed when I returned home with the images to experience the magic I captured through my lens. My passion for photography was launched on the streets of Madrid, Rome, Amsterdam and Istanbul. While travel photography captivated me for several years, wedding and family photography snuck in and stole my heart. Swimming deeply in God’s grace, I believe my purpose with my talent is simple.

For me, the beautiful part about weddings is the celebration of life, love, unscripted moments (and all that comes with it). In all of the happy tears, big laughs and tight hugs. It is my wish to not only see these beautiful memories in photographs, but truly see the people in them.

Abby went above and beyond for our proposal, engagement and wedding photos! She captured each and every detail and every moment in between. Her pictures are stunning and we feel so lucky to have had her as our photographer!

Hi there! We’re Tracey-Ann and Martin, wife and husband photography team, and we’re ready to capture the fun and romance of your wedding day. We’ve been documenting love stories for 14+ years (and happily married even longer!) and, along with beautiful photos, our intention is to infuse your day with pure joy! Partners in life and business, we use our synchronicity to document your day and to capture those special candid moments that make your wedding unique.

I do not write recommendations for many vendors because it is so hard for me to "pick a favorite." But Tracey and Martin are a rare find: they are a couple in love with each other AND the work they do! They put love, light, and professionalism to every project before them. Their talent is obvious in their finished work, but it isn't easy to see all the effort that goes into that finished product. They are the closest to the couple throughout the entire day, and they stop at nothing to give their couples the best experience possible. Their equipment is state of the art, and they capture every precious, fleeting moment. Every couple I have shared with Tracey and Martin simply ADORE them and their talent. They are an exceptional team to capture any special event!

At Above and Beyond DJ we pride ourselves at taking that extra step to make sure your event is special. We work as a couple to share our passion for music, event organization and willingness to go the extra mile to make a difference in the lives of others. We will go above and beyond what is expected of us. Whether it is to help picking up because it started to rain, making sure your wedding dress train doesn’t get dirty and wet or just needing someone to bounce ideas off of, we are there to make sure that your event is stress free and memorable!

Our wedding day was easily the best day of our lives and we could not have done it without Patti-Ann and Will helping us through everything. From showing up to the rehearsal the day before to walk through the event order to making sure that everything stayed on track the day of the wedding, they were always there to help us through everything. With Above & Beyond, you get a wedding planner and a DJ all in one! We are very thankful to them for helping us have an amazing day and night and making sure that the party kept going all the way until the end of the night. They really care about all of the little details and want to make sure they do whatever they can to help you have the wedding of your dreams. They even took a trip out to our venue a couple of months in advance to help plan things out. They helped us stay on track throughout the day and were able to stay flexible when things didn't go according to plan. They helped hype up the crowd and keep people having a great time. And they also stayed late the night of the rehearsal to help us practice our entrance into the reception and our dance. We are extremely grateful to them both and cannot recommend them enough to anyone trying to make their wedding vision take shape. You can't go wrong with Above & Beyond.

Stacie is a delight as a person, in her craft, and in the way she conducts her business and services. She walked us through every step of the way with our engagement, bridals, wedding, and family photos and is always a joy to work with. Our photos come out beautifully every. single. time. we have used her services and the entire experience is always worth it 1000%. She is thoughtful, detailed, and fun. For those who think they’re not photogenic, let her prove you wrong. Not only was our experience with her every time flawless, but she makes things fun and really cares about her clients. She does more than photography, and has offered services for not only my entire engagement and wedding process, but also for my small business, thoughtful gifting, stationary, and much more. I would trust her with anything!

Jess is the best photographer ever! She made the planning and preparation process for our wedding so much easier. She took the time to create a timeline, check in with us, and was always available via email or phone to bounce questions off of. Jess and Marissa made our wedding day so calm and fun! They made sure we got all the photos we wanted and also had time for some silly ones for my husband and his friends and me and my girlfriends. I have to say bouncing around from different shot locations was so fun with Jess, Marissa and our videographer, they felt like close friends! We got to just laugh and joke around, it was a very comfortable and professional dynamic, nothing short of amazing! Jess has been there with us from engagement photos, church ceremony, rehearsal dinner and wedding day. If you are looking for a photographer that is easy to laugh with and will get the best photos for you look no further!! Her editing is unbelievable, and she has photos available for you to view within days, she is truly amazing! I would recommend Jess as a photographer to everyone, she is truly the best!

Jamal and his team exceeded my expectation for my wedding. Our original photographer canceled on us last minute and Jamal and his team were willing and able to work with us on short notice. Communication was seamless, he provided us with exactly what we needed, they were personable and professional. Overall, I couldn’t have asked for better experience and plan on hiring Frame in Focus for future photography needs. Recommend 10/10
