Jessica was the photographer for my wedding in February on the Queen Mary. Although it was pouring rain in Los Angeles, a city that never has rain, Jessica weathered the storm and made my wedding day a breeze. From the moment I engaged her to be my photographer Jessica was very professional, honest and affordable. She gave me a cyber Monday discount which I wasn't expecting and also sent my husband and I a cute little gift before the wedding. With all the anxiety and craziness going on for my big day Jessica was cool, calm, and basically invisible. Her energy was very patient and controlled which I needed.
As mentioned earlier, it was raining, but Jessica did a great job capturing the Queen Mary in my pictures. She also loves loves loves taking photos of animals, which always is a plus in my book.
If you are looking for a wedding photographer choose Jessica and you will not be disappointed! Sorry Jessica for the late review but better late than never!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Karina G.Carson, CA2108Apr 10, 2019
Jessica is an amazing photographer with and amazing personality. She took the pictures for my friend's bridal shower and she did such a beautiful job! She was so nice and friendly and made everyone feel at ease when taking the pictures. She took initiative to help arrange all the bridesmaids for a beautiful picture together. I would definitely use her services again!

1000000 stars for Jessica!!!
We have been lucky enough to have our engagement session and wedding photographed by this lovely lady right here! We aren't really photo people (minus selfies) but Jessica made us feel so comfortable and captured such amazing shots. I literally cry when I see our pictures cause I am so obsessed!
It's been a week since the wedding and we're already planning a "family" shoot with our dog for Christmas card photos!
She works hard on getting our shots to us quickly and I love that because I love being able to start bragging about them right away
I would recommend her for anything and everything you need photographed!
Love love love!!!!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Nikki N.San Antonio, TX277187144Jul 3, 2018
Jessica was the photographer for a wedding that I participated in recently as a makeup artist! Although I was only working with her for about an hour, Jessica was warm, friendly and directive without being bossy. A week or so later I got to see the photos of the bride and bridal party...wow! Jessica had made the bride look like the best version of herself. The photos were bright, striking and filled with emotion. I will definitely be hiring Jessica for my engagement shoot and wedding when it's my turn!!

Jessica is amazing! We have used her for two of our photo sessions! She first took our maternity pictures in April and now just did our fall mini session. We are so in love with her work. She is great with our young children (especially our camera shy 3 yr old). She was able to get the girls to smile and laugh and so on, which really made for some great pictures. She was also super quick about getting the photos back to us and we are in love with all her hard work and dedication. You can truly tell she loves being behind the camera and capturing these amazing moments.

Jessica was recommended to us by a family member for our engagement photos. The entire experience from booking to receiving our gallery was fantastic. During the session, Jessica made sure that we were comfortable and enjoying the experience. She immediately put us both at ease. Her artistic view and skill is seen in her work. We enjoyed our experience so much that we asked her to be apart of our wedding photography as well. Thank you so much Jessica!

I meet Jessica while working a wedding, when I saw the finished album I knew at one point I wanted her to photograph my family. She has great attention to detail she knows how to give direct in a way where she gets the shoot but makes everyone comfortable. We did a couples shoot but she was kind enough to take a couple shots with our 2 kids 6 and 10 and she knew how to connect with them and get them to pose and smile.( that's not an easy job) I'm completely in love with our whole family album. Highly recommend her.

Had 3 photo sessions with Jessica, scheduled for a 4th soon. She's awesome! Her professionalism yet down to earth vibe, and not to mention - her great work, is what keeps us coming back for family shots. Totally appreciate her speedy turnaround in terms of getting our photos back. So glad I randomly found her on Instagram. Check her out! You won't be disappointed.

Jessica is seriously THE BEST! She did my engagement photos as well as my wedding and I couldn't have asked for a better person to be there with us! She did everything we asked and more and out pictures are beautiful! Thank you so much Jessica for making our day the best day ever!
