I hear it all the time after the wedding day: "It was such a blur, we don't even remember what happened." The photos from your wedding aren't just the only thing you'll take with you when it's over, but they're your window into reliving the day. Years from now, you'll be able to remember how everything felt by looking back at your photographs.

"I truly can not recommend and thank Jess enough."
It was our goal to find a photographer that would be able to capture the moments of the day in an authentic way and also guide us and instruct us on what to do to make sure we would love our photos afterward. Jess did all of this and more. She has a way of immediately putting you at ease and helping to organize photos for the day without pushing you in any direction you might not be comfortable with. We laughed and had so much fun the entire day which made the actual photo process so much easier and relaxed. She sent us a sneak peek just a few days after the wedding and every single shot is GORGEOUS. If you are looking for a photographer that not only will produce the most beautiful wedding photos you could imagine but also feels like a true friend—hire Jess Spoll and enjoy the inevitable magic element she will bring to the most important day of your life.

"5 stars does not do Jess justice."
As a human, she is warm, easy to talk to, and compassionate. Someone I genuinely looked forward to getting to spend my wedding day alongside. As a professional, she is the best in the game. She truly captures the emotions behind each moment. The amazing range of sneak peeks she so speedily sent over were absolutely incredible and truly told the story of our day even better than we could’ve ever dreamed. She expertly captured our shot list but, arguably even more importantly, she was able to capture the beautiful unspoken moments of candid joy and love in between. The quality of the pictures is incredible and her editing/positioning is so perfect. She truly has such a gift and is the consummate professional.
- TORI + SPENSER
Capturing real, unplanned, candid moments of your wedding day - and being able to anticipate them.
Making you feel comfortable in front of the camera while achieving natural images that don't look posed.
Treating each day like a unique opportunity to tell your story; not following a prescribed cookie-cutter shot list.
Balancing a relaxed approach with the right amount of direction to make sure you get the photos that you want.
Advocating for you and whatever you want to do. There's no right or wrong way to have a wedding day, and I'm here for you whether you want to follow all the traditions or none of them.
It's important to pick a photographer whose approach to the day matches what you're looking for. My ultimate goals are for you to feel comfortable and to be able to be fully present during your wedding day.
Capturing all of your big and small moments
My approach is centered around:
For engagement sessions, you'll receive your final gallery within 4 weeks. For weddings, within 8 weeks. You'll receive a selection of "sneak peek" photos within 48 hours after your wedding day.
What is your turnaround time?
You can expect to receive 50-100 images per hour of coverage. I don't withhold any images that I think you'd want; I edit and deliver all of the images from your day that aren't of people blinking, unintentionally blurry, or otherwise not quality.
How many images do you deliver?
Yes! I'm based in NYC, but I travel all over. If you're inquiring about a location outside of the NYC area, your proposal will include a flat fee for my travel costs based on the location.
Do you travel?
You will receive your final edited, high-res images on an online gallery. There, you will be able to view and download your images. You can also order prints and more directly through the online gallery.
how will i receive my images?
You can add on a second photographer to any of the wedding collections. A second photographer is not necessary, but gives you more photos of the day with different angles and allows me to be in two places at once.
What if I want a second photographer?
Full wedding pricing is available upon inquiry, and collections are customizable to make sure that you're getting exactly what you're looking for. All collections include a wedding planning guide, timeline planning assistance, an online gallery of high-res edited images, and sneak peeks within 48 hours after your wedding day.
Wedding collections start at $6k, and the average client spends between $7-9k.
