About
And I'm so excited to meet you. I love learning about new people, what makes you smile, what makes you light up, what you and your partner first bonded over, where you feel most at home, what you like to watch on TV. It's an honor to be given space in this important time of your life, and I feel so lucky to be here.
Hi,
I'm Jess!
I'm a collector: of playbills, ticket stubs, every wedding invitation I've ever been sent, every homework assignment I completed since first grade, all of the T-shirts I got for free during college, every old iPod I had that hasn't worked in 10 years. Collecting things always meant preserving memories. Being able to hold onto a physical piece of proof that says: I was here. I experienced this. Remember it.
As I got older, I found that I was documenting my life even when there weren't physical objects to hold onto. I write down every movie I watch, every book I read, every TV show that I turn on. For me, my life is the amalgam of all of these things.
While I cherish the physical objects, spreadsheets, old notes, books, and all, nothing can capture the feeling of those memories like a photo can. Every time I look at an old candid photo of myself, I'm instantly transported to that day and that memory and that feeling. That ability to preserve a moment of time, in all its colors and facets, feels miraculous. That's the gift that I want to share with others.
Documenting my life has always brought me joy, and now I get to document yours.

Hiring a wedding photographer is a big decision, and I know it's more than just showing up with a camera. With over 6 years of experience, I can anticipate anything that could happen on a wedding day. I have plan Bs for my plan Bs. I have PDF guides to help you with planning and prep for what to expect. I'm here for you every step of the way.
It's a privilege to be the one to preserve these memories for you.
