“Wedding planning in general was incredibly daunting to me (as I'm sure it is for many). Scrutinizing over timelines, trying to think of every detail of the day, booking everyone that needs to be booked-- it is nearly impossible to do alone! I was so incredibly thankful that we booked Jess as a photographer, because she did SO much more than just take our (BEAUTIFUL) photos. Jess takes the time to truly get to know the couple through the months leading up to their big day. She is always available for questions regarding any part of planning because she wants to make sure the couple is taking time to savor the entire wedding experience. She ensures that the both partners are calm and free of stress on their wedding day so that they focus on what truly matters- celebrating their love- which absolutely comes through in each photo. I highly recommend doing an engagement session with Jess. My husband and I are not picture people, so taking the time to learn to be comfortable in front of the camera before our wedding was super helpful. Not to mention Jess works incredible magic, where you don't even feel that she is there. Her presence is so calming and encourages you to be authentically yourself, that being in front of camera doesn't feel awkward at all. Looking at other wedding photos I had always thought "Gosh, Ben and I will never be able to do that-- we both overthink EVERYTHING way too much!" But Jess didn't over-pose us or ask us to do anything that didn't feel genuinely us. I am so in love with our engagement and wedding photos- I legitimately look at them every day. Jess captured the gorgeous colors of our day so beautifully. I truly cannot recommend her enough!!!”
