let’s ditch the empty traditions and stiff poses.

we’re photographers for the couples who want their day to reflect them honestly, and can’t wait to be surrounded by their people.

who know there’s no such thing as perfect, but there is such thing as real, deep, messy love.

we’re for the celebrators who believe in not taking life too seriously.

this is for you.

hey, i’m jess.

west-coast based wedding and family photographer.

my husband, Jon, and I shoot weddings together, which is a dream come true.

we are travel-lovers, sun-seekers, story-tellers, can always get down on a good dance party, and live to make each other laugh.

love is where this all started. and love is what guides us as photographers.

it’s valentines day minis day!!!! keep an eye out for lots of bts coming 🥰 happy weekend everyone!

after being stuck inside for about 45 years, finally being out and having the energy to put pants on, buy groceries, get my nails done, and work at a coffee shop feels heavenly. also I never wanna see a carrot again in my life (last thing I ate right before I was struck by the stomach flu)

This cutie flower girl photographed for the lovely @tiarrasorte

one of my favorites of us because it captures the feeling of being your partner. you are my safe place, my home + forever valentine. xoxo

things have been a hot messss around here. i’ve been fighting off a stomach bug (a week after jon was sick with it & we thought it was out of our house for good) . But basically this on the tail end of #snowpacalypse means I have been stuck at home for FAR too long and this extrovert is starting to lose it... on the bright and more exciting side, with all this downtime I’ve been prepping for a big website makeover and can’t wait to share!! 🤗

my brilliant, beautiful friend + floral wizard , @honnahweber 🌻🌻🌻 ps.. if you’re my girlfriend and we haven’t taken some gorg portraits of you what are we even doinggg

one of my fav parts of photographing a wedding is talking the bride up and making her feel like she’s on top of the mother-loving world. a delight. if it’s your day and I have a camera in hand, you bet there will be squeals. still obsessed with these from Sarah + Alex’s day ❤️

hopped on my stories last night to chat about being in a slump. and sooo many of you let me know you’re feelin it too - january is like the armpit of the year, imho. go listen to hear the TWO highly practical things that helped me get by when all I really wanted to do was shovel cookies in my mouth while watching new girl for the 50th time (which I still did some days 💁🏻‍♀️) - posted it to my highlights too if ya missed it. happy snopocalypse everyone + stay safe out there ❤️

for some dumb reason I am always tempted to talk about the weather on my captions, probably because 80% of my shoots are in that delicious warm summer light and outside right now it is not that. either way, I think talking about the weather is lame. so let’s talk about this. wine down wednesday. tonight. it is onnnnn. (i’m also exhausted from staring at my ceiling for no apparent reason for 1/2 the night last night, so things might get real interesting real quick). chatting about what to do when you’re in a slump. grab your glass and meet me in my stories! 🥂🥂🥂

this past month has put me in a weird funk. I have been on here little more than to announce my upcoming projects & post a bit of recent work (and make jokes about how little energy or motivation I have this time of year)... I know I’m not the only one, I know these phases ebb and flow. but still, it’s tough. anyone else feel me?! what do you do when you’re in a funk, and what do you reach for when you’re needing fresh motivation?

my kind of newborn sessions . candid, heartfelt, beautifully imperfect. I loved capturing some of the many emotions of Rowan becoming a big sister, I teared up hard going thru these remembering this stage of meeting my baby sis @ryroho . excitement, wonder, delight, and a touch of jealousy that you no longer have mom all to yourself 😆 thank you for having me capture your beautiful family, @littlemisswestwater !!
