With more than a decade of experience as a photographer and a background in fine art and film photography, Jess approaches each wedding with intention and a sense of novelty. She specializes in documenting moments with honesty and optimism to showcase her couples’ love for each other, love for their people and their love for a damn good time.

Wedding Photography and More

2026 dates starting at $1600
2027 dates starting at $2000

An engagement session is a unique opportunity to make a visual record of this season of your life as a couple. Rather than simply take pretty photos in a pretty location, we'll work together to choose a location and vibe that showcases elements of your love story so you can look back on this special time for years to come.

Engagement Photography

Rates Vary

My events have taken me across the globe from Sayulita to Sydney, and I'm always open to travel domestically or internationally. 

Destination Work

À La Carte Services

Starting at $2,200

Photo memories from your bachelorette, wedding shower, engagement party, rehearsal dinner, welcome party, weekend activities, or day-after brunch or pool party. 

Ancillary Event Coverage

Don't let your images live only on the screen. I'll help you design a custom, hand-bound art book that showcases the highlights of your celebration. It's the perfect addition to your coffee table and the perfect conversation starter at your dinner party. 

Wedding Albums

In the weeks before your wedding, we’ll meet for a final call. We'll cover the family shot list, timeline, and all the details my team and I will need to know to capture your dream images. 

Five

If you've booked one, we’ll schedule your engagement session. We'll also work together to lock in on a mood and vision for the session so that your images have longevity beyond just your Save-the-Dates. 

Four

I’ll pencil in your dates until they’re confirmed with your autograph and a completed deposit. After that, we’ll start my simple onboarding process.

Share your love story and your vision for your celebration. You’ll learn more about my experience. A proposal will follow soon after.

Don’t be shy, send an inquiry (I know you want to). You’ll receive my investment guide and a link to schedule a call.

BESPOKE PHOTO
Experience

Marina + Daane

From the very first conversation, she made us feel seen, understood, and completely at ease. She captured the big emotions, the quiet in-between glances, the laughter, and the pure joy on the dance floor so beautifully and naturally. 

You’re not just hiring a photographer — you’re gaining someone who pours her heart into your day and gives you memories you’ll treasure for a lifetime. 

Connor + Natalie

Once we met with Jess, we knew she would absolutely be able to help facilitate the kind of experience we were looking for, and she was completely on the same page as us regarding capturing a candid and genuine day. When looking through the whole album, we were shocked by just how many beautiful moments they were able to capture without either of us even noticing.

We were looking for someone to capture our big day through an authentic lens, leaving plenty of room for us to have fun with our guests and families.

Sydney + Chris

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!

I truly could not have asked for a better photographer (and human!) to be a part of our special day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you shoot film?

I work with both digital photos and analog film, incorporating both mediums into all of my wedding collections. About 85-90% of my final galleries are digital images, and about 10-15% are film scans.

Do you offer coverage of multi-day events?

Multi-day celebrations are actually my specialty! Getting to capture a full weekend or more with my couples allows for next-level trust to build between my subjects (you & your guests) and me, which always results in images that feel like a close friend captured them. 

How do we book?

First things first: get in touch. I’ll gleefully double check my calendar and then reach out to set up a call. After we’re done discussing your event, I will carefully prepare a proposal based on your photography needs (and dreams). That is where you’ll confirm your Jess Onesto booking with a signed contract and paid retainer. 

Weddings,
Honestly.
