Jess is a destination wedding and lifestyle photographer based in the midwest of the United States. Mainly using analog film formats, she documents with a focus on color and ‘feeling’.

So much happens at a wedding — laughter, tears, hugs, quiet moments, loud dance floors — and she aims to approach preserving those memories in a documentary way, showcasing the wedding story as it happened, with a flair of creative editorial perspective.

Jess believes that weddings shouldn’t be about the photography, but the photography to be about the weddings.
