Hi I'm Jessica!
YOUR THIRD WHEEL, CHAOS CONTROLLER, AND ALL-DAY HYPE MACHINE
I’m a documentary-style wedding and elopement photographer based in sunny Central Florida, originally from Spokane, Washington. I specialize in capturing real, candid moments that tell your love story exactly the way it felt; unfiltered, full of emotion, and wildly you. My goal is to make you feel so comfortable in front of the camera, you forget it’s even there.
Whether you’re planning a dreamy beach wedding in Florida, an intimate backyard ceremony in Idaho, or a moody elopement in the Oregon or Washington mountains, I’m all in. I’m here to hike for the view, dance in the rain, and grab tacos in your wedding attire if that’s your vibe.
Timeless. Authentic. Emotional.
WHAT IT'S LIKE WORKING WITH ME
Friend and Vendor
We’ll become friends first—promise. I’m not just a vendor who shows up, takes a few photos, and dips. I’ll be texting you, sending GIFs, hyping you up, and helping however I can. Need a veil fluffed? I got it. Groomsmen wrangled? Already on it. Want to sneak away from the chaos for a breather? Let’s go.
On shoot day, I’ll bring the cameras, the jokes, and a whole lot of energy. You’ll run, spin, laugh, dance, etc., and I’ll be there capturing every second. No forced poses or weird “stand there and smile” moments—just guided prompts that bring out who you really are.
More than just a job.
WHY I DO THIS
Finding my passion
Growing up, I never felt comfortable in front of the camera. The photos never felt like me. They felt stiff, awkward, and honestly, they made me feel insecure. That’s why creating a comfortable experience has become one of the most important parts of what I do. I want you to look through your gallery and think, “Yep… that’s us.” Whether you’re goofy and adventurous, quiet and romantic, or somewhere in between, your photos should feel honest and true to who you are.
I’ve always been drawn to storytelling, art, and the moments that often go unnoticed. The tear-filled first look. The flower girl running down the aisle. The hugs, the laughter, the quiet moments in between. Those are the memories that matter most because they’re the ones that bring you back.
After trying to follow what I thought was the “practical” path, God had different plans. He led me into the creative world, where I discovered a passion for documenting people’s stories. Since then, I’ve never looked back. Today, I have the privilege of serving couples all across the country, and every time I pick up my camera, I’m reminded that this is exactly where I’m supposed to be.

A LOOK INSIDE OUR SIMPLE LIFE
Mac and I have been together since January 7, 2019. We met in college over a ping pong table—naturally, I won (a lot). We became fast friends and spent time now and then playing games like Scum (a Corban University classic—ask me about it). For years, we stayed “just friends,” until one day he asked me out. Thai food and ice cream. I barely got a few words out on that first date, but somehow, he saw past the nerves—and the rest is history.
Almost a year later, he proposed, and we started planning our dream wedding for April 11, 2020. But then, COVID hit and turned everything upside down. As the world began shutting down and our wedding plans fell apart, we decided to sign the papers early and make it official on March 20, 2020. A year later, we celebrated with our closest family and friends at a beach house weekend that honestly felt even more us. God knew what we needed and gave us something that matched our personalities better than we could have ever planned.
I feel beyond lucky to be married to the greatest man and best partner I could ask for. He’s my absolute best friend!
We’re both goofballs and major workaholics, but we love what we do, so it rarely feels like work. We’ve figured out how to mix fun into everything, and on the rare occurrence when we do take time off, you’ll probably find us playing pickleball, swimming, catching a movie, or—you guessed it—eating. We’re major foodies. Discovering hole-in-the-wall restaurants is our thing, and yes, we’ve definitely become regulars at a few spots (they know our order, names, and personalities too well).
Saved by grace, guided by faith. Serving others with purpose and intention.
