About Jessica Max

Jessica Max

Artist

I am a documentary wedding & elopement photographer based in West Michigan. Forever obsessed with nature, travel, rocks, and documenting everyday life. I spend most of my time between Michigan and the southwest, eating pizza, finding the best vintage stores, checking out national parks and bike parks, and watching as many sunsets as I can.

Documentary, playful, a little romantic. True to color, connection based, with a nod to those film photos that make you feel at home. Fun candids, unscripted moments and some beautiful no-stress portraits. I service the West Michigan, the South West, as well as Puerto Rico. Most often with minimal travel as I'm in those places often, but I'd happily go anywhere. I love my wedding galleries to feel truthful- honest documentation of the day that unfolded. My priority is for my couples to look at their photos and be able to relive every party of their day, creating an artful story to carry on for generations.

    •Jessica G.•Feb 14, 2024

    Picking a photographer for our wedding was daunting. It felt incredibly personal as they would be with us all day. I cannot say enough about how wonderful Jessica is. She is truly like family and knows exactly how to make you at ease no matter the occasion. Beyond her being a fabulous person her work is absolutely outstanding and you won’t be disappointed. Since our wedding we have done maternity and family photos, and will never go anywhere else!

    Jess has done pictures for/of me for all of my big milestones. Graduation, engagement, wedding, maternity and family pictures and every single time they come out absolutely perfect and even better than I could imagine! And not only are the pictures perfect, her professionalism and communication is above and beyond. She is truly the best and I will always go to her for our pictures!
