MEMORABLE MOMENTS
"Jessica was everything we needed and more on our wedding day. She showed up to the rehearsal to find the best locations for photos at the venue. She gave us direction when we found ourselves indecisive and at a loss for process, and yet, everything came out so beautifully. She captured the essence, the magic, the real moments—she got all of it, and she added to it. She brought out and captured the best in our guests. We had magical photos to send out in thank you cards after. If you’re ever in need of professional photography or any photography at all, Jess is your gal. She went way beyond what we hired her for and we can’t thank her enough for it. Her relaxed and decisive demeanor with a side of fantastic sense of humor made this anxious bride feel like she had another bridesmaid by her side. Anyone is lucky to have Jess as their photographer. You’re the best, Jess!"

"I don't even know where to start on how wonderful my experience with Jessica was. From the very first interaction we had on Zola, she was clear, communicative, understanding, a wonderful listener, and so excited to work with us. My husband is pretty camera shy and just shy in general, and Jessica was unlike any other photographer we had ever met, she understood what it was like to be on the other side of the camera and how scary that can be. She instantly put us both at ease and our photos are absolutely beautiful.
To be honest, I was pretty nervous about selecting a photographer because I'm plus size, but wow, I was so impressed. I rarely feel beautiful in photos, and I feel so beautiful and TRUELY ME in the photographs. Receiving our wedding gallery back, I kept saying, "I can't believe that is really me!!" Jessica and Mac caught our inner beauty on camera, and that is true magic.
I had to make like 5 changes to our photography package between booking and the wedding, and she was extremely graceful and accommodating. We got sneak peeks from our wedding the very next day and in time, a huge and extremely thoughtfully crafted gallery.
Jessica took our engagement photos as well, and by the end of our wedding night, it felt like she was not just a vendor, but a friend.
If you've never had your photos taken or if you're as comfortable as can be behind the camera, whether you're young or old, whether it's graduation, a wedding, or celebrating a new addition to your family- Jessica is the photographer for you.
Good photography can connect you back to your self esteem, it can help you get out of your shell, and the most important thing it does is immortalize the most special moments in your life and we are so happy that we trusted Jessica with that responsibility. <3"

"I'm so incredibly grateful to have found Jessica to capture our wedding day! We were lucky enough to do an engagement shoot months before & we knew right away she would do an amazing job because of how comfortable she made us feel. Jessica does a great job with natural poses and provided us with SO many incredible photos that we will look back on forever. She even gave us sneak peaks (within days!) which were so special to look at on our honeymoon. I received so many compliments from family members about how wonderful Jessica did & she truly went out of the way to capture every single person at our wedding. I hope to be able to use Jessica again in the future!"
Jocelyn + Ryan
"Jessica is AMAZING to work with. The first photoshoot that my husband and I did with her was both of our first professional photoshoots and we were nervous for sure. Jessica is so friendly and calm and creates just the right environment to make her clients feel comfortable.
As a wedding photographer, she went way above and beyond what anyone would expect of a photographer. She sat down with me and helped create the schedule for our day, she showed up early and was ready to start taking pictures right away, she was communicative and fun throughout the whole wedding day, and has been extremely communicative since that day. She makes the whole process smooth, fun, and totally comfortable. I’m in love with the wedding photos that I will have to cherish for the rest of my life. I would absolutely recommend Jessica for any photography needs!!"

"We chose Jessica to do our Honeymoon photos and it was by far the most beautiful thing about our honeymoon! Jessica was so creative and kind! We got exactly what we wanted and so much more ❤️ I highly recommend choosing her for all your photography needs!"
Savannah + Daniel
"Jessica is not only an amazing photographer she’s an amazing person who’s passionate about her work. During the shoot I felt relaxed and comfortable. Her work speaks for herself.
She is extremely professional, Timely service and an amazing finish product!"
Timothy
"Jessica recently took our engagement photos. She was absolutely amazing to work with! She made the shoot fun even though we aren't the most comfortable in front of the camera. She is a great communicator both before and after your shoot. She really listened to what I was looking for and any other concerns or preferences I had for the photos. The photos turned out beautiful, and really managed to capture our relationship. She was also so kind and relaxed which put us at ease during a stressful time for us. I can't recommend her enough!"

HEY FRIENDS! I'M JESS! 🙂
Originally from Spokane, Washington, I’ve bounced around a bit, spent some time in Northern Idaho, moved to Salem, Oregon for college, and now my husband and I call Central Florida home. But my heart will always belong to the beautiful Pacific Northwest. If you’re in Boise, Coeur d’Alene, Post Falls, Spokane, Seattle, Salem, Portland, Sisters, Bend, Orlando, Tampa, Sarasota, Miami, Tallahassee, Jacksonville or anywhere in between, let’s connect! I’m always down to make the trip. Honestly, there are so many places across the U.S. I’d love to explore, so if you’ve got a dream location in mind, send me a message. I’m here for whatever photography adventure you’ve been dreaming up.
Want to hike miles to catch the perfect view? I’m in. Want to splash in the ocean like carefree kids? Absolutely. Want to sit and share burritos with your best friend in your gorgeous wedding attire? One hundred percent yes, and honestly, that might be the best idea yet.
Here’s how it works: we chat, we pick a date, and we meet up. Then, I’ll probably have you spin around, touch the ground, run, jump, and move in ways you never thought you would. You might give me a few confused looks, but I’ll smile and say, “Trust me, it will look great in the photos!” My whole goal is to bring out the real you, because that’s where the magic happens.
If you love being in front of the camera, amazing! And if you’re someone who feels awkward and has no idea what to do, I totally get it. I grew up feeling the same way. But don’t worry—I’ve got you. Together, we’ll turn your picturesque dreams into reality.
Personal FAQ
My first and Forever love is, Jesus Christ! After Him my wonderful husband and best friend, Mac. We've been married since 2020!
Thai tea, horchata, and hot chocolate (with mini marshmallows!)
Raisinets, Whoppers, and Junior Mints (yes, I fully embrace the grandma vibes!)
Thai, Japanese, Indian, Jamaican... I'm not picky haha. Asian food is number #1 though!
Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Star Wars, Transformers (1-3), The Bourne series, etc. Anything with a good plot really. I love movies!
Photography FAQ
I photograph weddings all across the United States. Everywhere from the lush forests of the Pacific Northwest to the sunny beaches of Florida and beyond. I’m based just south of Orlando, which makes Central Florida an easy home base, but I love traveling wherever your story takes me. Whether it’s a mountaintop elopement in Oregon or a chic city wedding in New York, I’m there.
Absolutely! Traveling for weddings and elopements is one of my favorite parts of this job. Whether you’re dreaming of a foggy Oregon forest, a golden Florida beach, or an adventurous mountain escape, I’ll help you plan photography that fits the vibe of your day. Travel is included in my wedding and elopement packages, so you don’t have to stress about hidden add-ons. It’s all covered.
My style is documentary and timeless, with a moody, romantic edge. I focus on authentic, candid moments while also creating beautiful portraits that feel natural, not forced. Think less stiff posing and more genuine laughter, real emotion, and photos that will still feel true 30 years from now.
For me, photography isn’t just a transaction, it’s personal. I treat every couple like friends, because being invited into your wedding day is an honor I don’t take lightly. I want you to feel comfortable, like you can be your full selves, and I’ll do whatever it takes to capture those real smiles and authentic connections.
On the technical side, I personally hand-edit every image with care. I don’t just apply a preset and walk away. I make sure the little details are perfect. Distracting objects (like a random bottle in the grass or a stranger in the background) get edited out, because I want your gallery to feel intentional and polished.
Another thing couples love is that I never plan to delete wedding galleries. Unless you specifically request otherwise, I keep long-term backups of every wedding and small session I shoot. That means if something ever happens years down the road and you lose your images, chances are I’ll still have them safe and sound.
If you’re looking for someone who can take charge of the photo side of things so you can relax and enjoy your day, I’m your girl. That said, I also love collaboration. If you’ve got a Pinterest board full of ideas, I’m happy to look through it and capture those moments in my own way.
The one thing I’m not the best fit for is couples who want a super rigid shot list with no flexibility. I believe the most magical photos happen in the in-between moments, so I need a little creative space to work. If you’re up for a mix of direction and authenticity, chances are we’ll get along great.
Yes! I share highlights in the Journal section of my website, but if you’d like to see full wedding galleries start-to-finish, just send me an email and I’ll happily share links. I think it’s so important to see how a photographer tells the whole story of a day, not just the Instagram-worthy shots.
Yes! I love engagement sessions! Most of my wedding packages already include them, but you can also book one separately. These sessions are some of my favorites because they give us time to connect, laugh, and get comfortable working together before the wedding. Plus, you’ll walk away with amazing photos that feel like you, whether we’re downtown, on the beach, or hiking a trail.
It’s simple! Here’s how it works:
-
Fill out my contact form or email me directly.
-
We’ll hop on a call or video chat to get to know each other and talk through your vision.
-
If you decide to move forward, I’ll send over a contract and invoice for the retainer to lock in your date.
-
Once that’s done, you’ll get a welcome email with all the next steps, resources, and planning support.
From there, I’m in your corner to help with timelines, inspiration, and anything photo-related leading up to the big day.
For weddings and elopements, most couples reach out around 12–18 months in advance. That said, I’ve had couples book me a few weeks before and others book me years out, so don’t stress if your timeline looks different. My best advice: reach out as soon as you know your date, especially if it’s during peak wedding season, because those weekends tend to go quickly.
Yes! I also design wedding invitations and stationery. You can choose from custom designs I’ve already created or we can collaborate to make something completely unique to your day. Before photography, I worked as a graphic designer, and I still love bringing that creative side into my business. Invitations let me combine my love for art and weddings in a totally different way, and my couples love having that option all in one place.
If you’re wondering about videography, I no longer offer that as I’m focusing fully on photography in this next chapter of my business. That said, I can always send you vendor recommendations.

If you have questions or are curious to know more, please send me a message. I look forward to talking!
