Jessica captured our March 2025 wedding and we were SO impressed by her professionalism, personality, & of course, photography! She made us feel so comfortable during the engagement shoot and having her document our wedding was like catching up with a friend as she is so personable. Within 24 hours we received several dozen sneak peeks and we are blown away; they are AMAZING!
