Destination photographer, serving Europe and across the United States. Curating love stories through both film and digital mediums.
My bridal work is best suited to
For lovers who want to be present in their memories, not flying through them.
Jess is the best partner for couples who aren’t mastered by a predictable shot list. Jess chooses to invest her time and craft into couples who care about images caught throughout an authentic day of love, and who trust her to find the beauty in both the flawed and flawless elements of every real human relationship and experience. If your memories feel epic in scale, but held with gentle hands, she is in that alongside you.
The experience
How a wedding with Jess unfolds.
Five elements, from the first conversation to the final album.
Organic prompting, poetic storytelling
Guided, and completely at ease.
Every wedding is approached uniquely, seeking natural light, toned colour and thoughtful composition. Jess's role is to document all of it with a seamless balance of candid storytelling and gentle direction, so you and your people always feel both guided and well at ease.
Investment
Three collections, one storyteller.
Jess photographs every collection herself (with a second shooter), on both digital and film. The skill of the artist is the same whichever collection you choose. The collections differ only in time and in the volume of content you receive back. A bespoke proposal with three options follows our call.

Notes from friends
"My family and I have been incredibly blessed to have had Jessie capture so many special life events and every time I walk away feeling like our time was captured in moments I will remember, not just photos taken. She stewards her gift of loving people well through the art of photography and it shows in every photo, as you see the joy and comfort that rests on the faces of your loved ones, even the ones who aren’t fans of getting photos taken. She doesn’t pose you, she helps to create a space to live in those precious, genuine moments with the people you love most, and the outcome is always outstanding."Cate
"Jess did an amazing job capturing our family photos! She has such a natural way with children, and our kids warmed up to her instantly. With so many little ones, family photo sessions can often feel like a stressful ordeal, but Jesse makes the entire experience feel playful, relaxed, and seamless. We absolutely treasure the beautiful photos she captures, especially the little in-between moments and thoughtful details that make our family unique. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!"Mallory
“Jessie came down the farm lane in her cute rain boots, barn cat at her heels, camera ready to go. The golden hour was just beginning, perfect for this master of shadows and light. Somehow time was suspended for just a moment. She doesn't just make pictures. She makes memories.”Grace
"I honestly can’t say enough about Jess and what she gave us through these pictures. My husband and I have never been comfortable in front of a camera, but somehow she made us forget the camera was even there and simply let us be us—best friends, adventure buddies, and two people who have loved each other for 42 years. She learned our story well enough to understand what mattered to us, and she captured things I didn’t even know a photograph could capture—the way we look at each other, the comfort between us, the laughter, the wrinkles and age spots, and all the years behind them. We walked away feeling like we had just had one of the best dates we’d had in a long time, and then she gave us photographs that somehow look exactly like our life and our love feel. We will always be grateful to Jessie for that."Lori
