HI FRIEND, I'M Jess
Utah based wedding photographer
MORE THAN JUST YOUR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
I'm your new found bestie... who so happens to be a photographer that you can trust with your life. Normal people have co-workers that they can call their friends. I become besties with my clients. So if you relate to any of the below obsessions of mine? Let's be best friends. K? K.
Prepare for a word vomit and run on sentences of random facts about Jess....
Without my morning ritual of a double shot of expresso with oat milk and 2 shots of sugar free vanilla, I would be a walking zombie. I recently became a mom to the sweetest little boy & can't forget the 2 dog babies as well. Been married to the love of my life for 4 years and counting. Grew up dancing my whole life. Born & raised in SLC, UT and wouldn't have it any other way than to live in this beautiful state!

Capturing your story in its most authentic form
I have been taking pictures for just over 7 years now! Photography is something I fall in love with over and over every single time I shoot. It's an honor to be able to capture peoples greatest moments in life and provide them with that lasting, tangible memory that they can hold onto forever.
my life outside of work
The greatest blessing we've been given in life is to love, and be loved.
The day that I became a mother was the best day of my life. I never knew a love like this could exist. My son & hubby are the absolute love and joy of my life (oh and can't forget the two dogs who are practically my children as well). I truly would not be the person I am today without them by my side rooting me on.
When I am not taking pictures or editing, I love shopping, taking long walks, watching the sunset, and have recently found great joy in cooking. I am a hopeless romantic at heart and am obsessed with romantic comedies in book and movie form. I'm always looking for recommendations, so send them my way!
my inspiration
I graduated from nursing school in 2019 and dreaded waking up to go to work. That's when I knew something had to change because I didn't want to live like that forever. 4 years ago I quit my nursing job and decided to jump both feet into my hobby of photography at the time. Since that day I haven't looked back and now have my dream job working with my dream clients all around the world.
From the time I can remember, my dad always had a camera. Pulling the car over every 10 minutes when we were on a family vacation to get a cool pic. I owe my passion & artistic brain all to my father. He bought me my first camera in 2016 and took me on my Senior trip to Europe. This is where my love for photography began.
I'm inspired by the way you can capture emotions so tangibly that not only can you document moments, but emotions as well. I'm inspired by the way that light glistens in a room through a window creating spotlights on subjects. Photography is my passion & calling in life and I will never take that for granted.
Disney Movies Still Make Me Cry
I'm a girl who loves ambiance. From candles, to background music, in my opinion, life was meant to be romanticized. I will never miss a chance to jam to loud music in the kitchen, holding a wooden spoon and singing at the top of my lungs.
I have a major sweet tooth for anything chocolate and am trying to break my unhealthy addiction to vanilla coke zero (that's not going very well though),
That’s a little sneak peek into my life and a few of my favorite things. No matter who and where we are, we’re all souls wandering this beautiful earth, with a different story to share. No tale is one and the same. And that’s why I LOVE documenting love stories (and hopefully yours too!)
Rain, Hail Or Shine, I Won’t Miss A Beat.
I will show up to your wedding after one too many coffees, buzzing with energy to capture one of the most important, memorable days of you life. I will help ensure that the day flows smoothly so that you can soak in the moment because it flies by in the blink of an eye. I'll be a fly on the wall capturing the candid moments while also getting down and dancing with you on the dance floor.
I know this day is a day you've dreamt of since you were a little girl. That pinterest board that has been building up since you were 12 is finally being put to use. Let me help you plan and organize all the details so that you can have the wedding of your dreams.
I can't wait to help you bring your vision to life and walk with you during all these big moments!

highly recommend!
Jessica is a miracle worker! On the day of the shoot it was so windy and I felt so flustered because I was worried that I wouldn’t like the shots. But they turned out INCREDIBLE! She even caught the beautiful sunset (which any photographer knows is hard to do). She is skilful, talented, and so friendly!
