"If we could give Jessica 10 stars on Google we would! Jessica is amazing to work with. More than once our vision for our day changed even our original date, but Jess was always supportive, offering contacts and helping plan our dream day. We know she captured our day beautifully with just the sneak peek we are over the moon."

Jessica, became like family for the brief moments we were all together! She blended in and captured all of us in an authentic way. She helped us curate a wonderful day in the most beautiful setting and will forever be a part of our story. What she captured was timeless memories that brought two families together in an intimate ceremony. She helped map out the site (and a plan B site) without any of us ever seeing it in person as well as the perfect timeline. She took the time to video conference several times to work through some of the details. She also developed a list of lodging, florists, make-up artists, catering, etc… that saved us hours of research and guess work! Thank you Jessica for helping us with our wedding/elopement day!

Working with Jessica was such a smooth process! She really took her time in making sure she understood exactly what shots and angles we wanted to capture. Day of we’re a little nervous because we’ve never had professional pictures taken and are usually pretty shy in front of a camera. It was a super fun session and she made us feel very comfortable. We now have beautiful pictures to remember our day

"We feel like we got the best and the most beautiful thanks to her suggestions."
