I approach weddings with a documentary eye, seeking out the authentic experiences, emotions, and essence of your day rather than fabricated moments. Photographing honestly, artfully and a bit unconventionally, I focus on what it felt like to be there. So that you can have your memories preserved in a way that is just as unique and just as warm as your celebration was.
I shoot mostly film, and a little bit of digital, (about 60% film, 40% digital) as this allows me to observe keenly and shoot more intentionally, focusing on quality over quantity.
I live in Portland, OR and am very happy to travel to wherever your celebration is.
Currently booking 2025 + 2026.
Full scale wedding coverage begins at $5000. Elopement & intimate wedding rates are dependent upon size, date and location. Please inquire for a custom quote.

Jess captured our wedding day so beautifully. Not only is she an insanely talented photographer, she brings so much intention, kindness, and joy to her work. We wanted our photos to emulate the day’s emotions, the small in-between moments, and the beauty of being surrounded by love—and she did all of that and more. Highly recommend working with her for any event! She is a gem of a human and you’ll be glad you picked her.

We hired Jess to photograph our backyard wedding, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the experience and the results! From start to finish, Jess went above and beyond, communicating with us to plan every detail and helping us bring our vision to life on the day of. The photos Jess captured are simply stunning: intimate, vibrant, and real. She has an incredible eye for those authentic, in-between moments that tell the story; looking at our photos brings back all of the little memories and details that made the day so beautiful. We’re so grateful we found Jess. If you're looking for a photographer who will not only make you look your best but also make you feel completely comfortable and seen, she is the one.

Where to begin?! Jess was easily the best money we spent on our wedding. She was so friendly and easy to work with, making us feel comfortable instantly. We let her know early on in our first meeting that we wanted our wedding photos to be like we were looking through an old family photo album, showing the real moments and emotions, and Jess delivered. She managed to capture every single moment we wanted to remember, and there isn’t one single photo we dislike! We will cherish these captured memories for the rest of our lives and are so thankful we were able to work with Jess to make our day so special. We could not recommend her enough! 12/10

Every aspect of working with Jess as our wedding photographer was 10/10 perfect! We loved getting to meet her before hand to have our tin type portraits taken (such a cool experience!), she was so easy to communicate with, and was such a warm, fun addition to our wedding day. It felt like having a friend shooting our photos and she so perfectly captured the energy and spirit of our big day. I couldn't say more good things about her photos and about working with Jess - highly recommend!

My partner and I had the best experience working with Jess! She quickly helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera during our engagement photo session, and made sure to communicate and check-in with us throughout the process leading up to our wedding. It really doesn’t take long to feel at ease around Jess. She has a very grounding and calm presence, and helped create this same environment for our wedding day. Jess was professional, timely, creative, friendly, thoughtful, and easy to work with from start to finish. We originally fell in love with her work when we saw how she was able to capture such natural and genuine moments for others— and without a doubt, she delivered the same for us! We couldn’t be more in love with the photos she captured for us on our wedding day.
