THE PEOPLE THROWING THEM
THE BEST WEDDINGS FEEL LIKE
You’re in good hands. Go have a really good time.
I want you in the room, at the table, on the dance floor and with the people you brought together. I’ll step in when you need me, disappear into the background when you don’t and make sure the photography fits into the day instead of the day revolving around the photography.
Let’s make something your future self will miss.
From the moment you book, I’m in it with you.
I’ll help you build a timeline that gives the day room to breathe, talk through what matters most to you and make sure we’re on the same page long before I pick up my camera. You’ll also have more than a decade of experience in your corner and an eye that’s always considering how to make something great out of what’s in front of me. I know what deserves my attention, what needs a little direction and when to change direction.
When the day comes, you can hand that part over to me.
GETTING TO PHOTOGRAPH SOMETHING THIS IMPORTANT TO YOU MEANS SOMETHING TO ME, TOO. THERE’S A LOT OF TRUST IN THAT, AND I CARE DEEPLY ABOUT DOING IT WELL.
01 / FIRST CONVERSATION
You’re here and you want to book, hooray! It’s about to be a party. We will hop on a Facetime call to make sure we are a good fit. I want you to be just as excited about me as I am you.
02 / PACKAGE SELECTION
We decide on which package best fits your unique day. I will guide you on things to consider when choosing a package to make sure you have everything that you need.
03 / HOLD THE DATE
Once we’ve decided on a package it’s time to pay the retainer fee to hold your date, sign the contract and get a date on the books for your engagement shoot.
04 / PLANNING
We will plan together the vision for your engagement shoot. I will help with location scouting, outfit planning and any creative elements we want to throw in.
05 / WEDDING TIMELINE
Before the big day I will set up a custom wedding timeline so that we can get all the photos you want while spending the most time humanly possible with all the people you love.
06 / THE BIG DAY
I will show up on your wedding day— we will laugh, cry, drink and party. I will capture it all. You will get sneak peaks within 48 hours of your wedding day and your gallery will be delivered 6-8 weeks after your wedding.

All I have to say is hire Jessi and I promise you won’t regret it! Not only is she an absolute genius with a camera, but she is the sweetest, most loving and compassionate gem of a human. When my husband and I got engaged, she was the FIRST vendor I reached out to and knew we’d be picking our wedding date based off her ability because there was no other photographer option. Jessi was the one. She helped us feel so incredibly comfortable in front of the camera, and captured our day better than I could have ever dreamed. She was available for any questions I had and helping develop our day of timeline and overall just made sure everything ran so smoothly. Jessi will forever be our girl for all life events that need captured until the end of time!

the LOVE NOTES
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I’M DOING, CAN YOU HELP?
This is what I pride myself on. I can take the most camera shy person and have them looking like a Vogue cover story by the end of it. lol. That really is why you hire a professional that you trust which I hope is me! I will give you prompts for your photos so it’s not stiff and feels really natural. I’ve got you.
do you offer prints?
Yes! All my sessions give you printing rights to order from wherever you want, but if you don't want Walgreens and their weirdly green tinted photos (please don't print at Walgreens) you can order prints directly from my fav professional lab through your gallery!
how long does it take for you to deliver the final photos
You will get sneak peeks from your day within 48 hours of your wedding. No one wants to have to post an iphone pic for their grand announcement.
how many pictures do we get
I typically deliver 50-120 photos per hour you have me booked. Elopements tend to offer more photos per hour since they have a shorter time span. Just know I will give you all the moments and curate it for you to tell a story.
do you offer engagement photos ?
Yes! Most of my packages include and engagement shoot. It's so important that we are familiar with each other before your big day. That way I already know what works for you two come the big day.
how would you describe your photography style?
I definitely am a documentative photographer. My main focus is telling the entire story of your day so that you can relive it. I also love adding in creative elements to your day. I push myself to find an area of your venue that isn't always photographed and push the envelope.
do you travel for weddings? does it cost more?
I absolutely love traveling for weddings and will have a custom quote depending on location. I've photographed weddings all over and I think it can help to hire a photographer who isn't local. It's a fresh eye for the area you are in and I will do a LOT of research prior to coming.
*You want a wedding that feels unmistakably your own.
We might be a great fit if...
* You care deeply about the people who will be in the room with you.
* You believe a great wedding is equal parts atmosphere, intention, and connection.
* You've invested in an experience, not just an event.
* You trust creative collaboration and value photography as both an art form and a way of preserving the people and relationships that matter most.
Hiring Jessi was the easiest decision of our wedding planning process. From the moment we first chatted with Jessi, we knew we were in good hands. Her professionalism, creativity, and warm personality made us feel so comfortable and confident throughout the entire process. Working with Jessi made you feel like you've been friends forever. Always offering a helping hand and giving such great advice. Jessi always goes above and beyond. I can't wait to hire Jessi again to capture more big moments in the future!
