Telling
stories since 2007
Feel nervous in front of the camera? I’ve got you. You don’t need to know how to pose or be "good" at photos—just show up as yourselves, and I’ll handle the rest. From our very first planning call to your final gallery delivery, my goal is to keep things seamless and stress-free. Whether I’m fluffing your train or keeping the wedding party on schedule, I take care of the details so you can be completely present.
I didn't want to be a photographer...
I was 12 years old , when I saw a portrait of a woman in a book while sitting in class. She was standing by a large window, in soft natural light, wearing only a sheet, her silhouette defined by the light. I wasn't entirely sure why I liked it at the time, but it completely captured my attention and I found myself in deep thought- it was beautiful. That single image didn't just spark my artistic vision, it made me realize I had one in the first place.
Truthfully, I was never in love with photography in itself. I have always just loved art and creative vision, and the camera simply became the tool that allowed me to express it. Today, as a wedding photographer, I bring that artist's eye to your wedding day. I'm not just documenting a schedule; I'm looking for those quiet, breathtaking frames- the soft light capturing a veil, a striking sillouhette, an unscripted embrace- turning the raw, real-life romance of your celebration into a timeless piece of art.
My Philosophy
CANDID. UNFORCED. AUTHENTIC.
Hi! I'm Jessica (or Jess)- the person behind 'Photo by Jess'- and I'm a full time lifestyle and wedding photographer in El Paso County. Photographing love in all its forms is a career that I am so grateful for.
I create dreamy, emotion-filled imagery with intention, consistency, and serious attention to detail- while having some fun! From the quiet in-between moments, to the biggest celebrations, every part of your day is captured so that you can reminisce about it all.
With two decades of professional wedding photography experience- I'm here to make your wedding feel effortless. I'll guide you when you need it and blend in when you don't- this is key to my storytelling brand. I handle the wedding-day flow, and the unexpected- so you can stay present and enjoy every second.
I'm with you for months, not just one day. From the engagement session, planning, to final gallery delivery; I'm making sure nothing falls through the cracks. No copy-paste weddings. No cookie-cutter galleries, no editing trends; Just your unique story, told honestly and artfully, just as it was.
...and I'm a detailholic.
Brides... you shouldn't sleep on a detail-obsessed photographer to capture what you've spent months planning. Editorial portraits are one thing, truly noticing and documenting every detail is another. Your wedding isn't a day for you to perform. It's a day for you to experience, and a photographer who gets that will notice everything.
"Couldn't have been happier with having Jessica as our photographer! She was timely in email responses and was able to answer all our questions and also provided great suggestions. She really helped to make the day about us and what we wanted. She's super friendly and helpful, and the quality of her photos is amazing! Highly recommended for any photography needs."
