Woodsy Couples Photography Fall

It's me, 

Jessica

Mother | Wife | Business Owner | Creative

Hi again! I absolutely love photography. It makes my heart sing and I fall in love all over again every time I pick up the camera. But photography isn't my whole life. I'm also a wife, a mother, an entrepreneur, and a coffee addicted libra, who wears her heart on her sleeves, listens to the Encanto soundtrack on repeat, and will ask to pet your dog.

I love being surrounded by trees, and nature. For most of my childhood, I grew up on a small, non-traditional farm, on the edge of a forest. We owned a lot of land, and my dad created trails throughout 'the woods' behind our home and that's where I spent most of my days. Being an only child for so long, I developed a very imaginative and creative soul. That creativity and expressiveness from my father and the compassionate vulnerability from my mother has shaped who I am today. I am a lover. And all love is welcome here.

I feel everything so very deeply and I will cry at your wedding. Because I am genuinely happy for you. And I want you to see yourself in the light that I am seeing you. Your moments deserve to documented and preserved in the most beautiful way possible. Your story is too good to go untold. You're hiring me to see yourself through my lens. Trust me with your authenticity. Come as you are, I'll do the rest.

But seriously, can I pet your dog?

My Love Story

My husband, Scott, is my second shooter. He's also my rock, my motivator, and the absolute love of my life. He pushes me to be the very best version of myself and supports me in everything I do. He also spoils me and surprises me regularly! Fellas, take notes.

Scott started out by just accompanying me to weddings as my assistant, and so I didn't have to face driving long distances alone. But as I began upgrading my equipment and bringing multiple cameras, Scott just decided to pick one up at a wedding one day, and thus, Scott the photographer was born. We've been documenting weddings together for over 5 years now.

 

And our couples love working with a husband and wife team! So many of my brides tell me that some of their most cherished memories are the unseen moments that Scott purposefully and artfully captures.

"Having Scott as second shooter was literally the best thing ever. Some of his sneaky shots are just like, 'WOW OK SCOTT!!'"

FAQ

  • Do you travel?
    Yes! keep travel simple. For travel fees, I create a custom quote just for your desired location. Any cost of travel for driving, food, hotel, etc. will be put together for you in your booking proposal. For locations farther than 100 miles from location, I charge the government mileage rate. For locations over 3 hours away, I add an overnight fee to ensure safe travel.
  • How far in advance should I book with you?
    I book most of my weddings well over a year in advance. I only take on a certain number of weddings each year, as I do all the editing and behind the scenes work myself. I include a complimentary engagement session with all my wedding packages, meaning the majority of my couples will be scheduling engagement sessions as well. If you love my work and want to book me for your wedding day, please reach out to me ASAP!
  • What is your turnaround time?
    For portraits and engagement sessions, 2 weeks. For weddings, 4 weeks, with an additional 2 weeks for albums + prints. I try to get sneak peeks out within 24 hours, and a full preview out within 48 hours.
  • Do you offer discounts?
    I do not offer discounts at this time, but I occasionally have some sales going on! Subscribe to my mailing list to be the first to see upcoming offers and sales.
  • Can we remove the engagement session?
    No. The engagement session is complimentary and anchored to the price of my weddings. I understand not everyone needs/wants an engagement session, but this is my gift to you for inviting me into your lives and taking me along with you on your next big adventure. The engagement session is a fantastic opportunity for us to work together before wedding day. It allows us to interact with each other, further develop our relationship, and gives you a tiny preview of what's to come.
  • Can I see a full wedding gallery?
    Of course! Be sure to ask about seeing a full gallery when you fill out the contact form, and I'll send you some links!
