Jesse did an amazing job on my son's rehearsal dinner! He went above and beyond, making sure each family was beautifully photographed so that they each had a keepsake of the event. As well, he took beautiful photos of the entire event! We received the digital photos in multiple sizes for social media and printing which was very helpful! I would highly recommend Jesse!

Jesse is exceptionally talented and thorough in his approach to photographing fine art. He was able to photograph 50 of my canvases in an afternoon session and then he processed the images both in hi-res and lo-res exactly as we discussed. I am now able to load these images onto my online gallery platform ahead of schedule. I very much recommend Jesse James Photography!

I had been given the run around by several other photographers and then found Jesse James Photography. He is an amazingly talented photographer, and was very pleased with the results. I mean, you don't get to be a professor of photography without having some serious skills and experience. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
