Hello, I'm Jess

WEDDING & FAMILY Photographer

I'm a New York based photographer with nearly a decade of experience capturing unforgettable moments.


I've photographed a range of events, from sold-out concerts for artists like Third Eye Blind and Weezer to middle school photo days and of course, weddings, engagements, and precious family moments.


No matter the event, my work is centered around people and their stories.


From the exciting days of being engaged, to your I-do moment and all the beautiful days that follow, there's nothing I love more than capturing love in a way that feels authentic, true, and timeless.

My approach

 

In front of the camera or behind it, I’ve never been a fan of stiff posing or forcing everything to be “just right.”  


I always want your photos to feel honest and bring you right back to the moment, and I find the best way to do this is to focus less on creating something flawless and more on capturing something real.


Whether it’s just you and your honey, a little one on the way, or the whole big happy family, I'll capture your love so you never forget how you feel on your special day through a mix of of candid and gently posed photos at your venue of choice.


High-resolution, edited photos will be delivered via online gallery and readily available for you to download, share, or purchase prints.
