Jess was absolutely the BEST! I truly could not have asked for a better photographer (and human!) to be a part of our special day. She understood our vision and captured it perfectly without us doing any work or having to stress about anything. She has such a tasteful style and unique skillset that allows her to capture the emotions of the day perfectly. We are beyond lucky to have worked with Jess and couldn't recommend anyone better!!
