My fianc booked Jessica to capture our surprise engagement at the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC, and the experience was absolutely unforgettable. He had the entire day planned, and Jessica was allegedly hiding in a bush to catch the moment, which makes me laugh every time I think about it We had about an hour and a half to explore the estate, taking photos throughout the gardens and grounds. Jessica guided us through each pose so naturally and made it feel so easy, even while I was still in total shock from the proposal. We havent received our full gallery yet, but from her Instagram, I am so excited and already know theyre going to be STUNNING. I cant wait to relive this moment through the photos. She was amazing! Thank you so much Jessica!

Jessica helped me with my proposal at Biltmore this past weekend and it was a great time! Jessica made us feel comfortable and at ease as we took pictures. Beforehand she helped me with picking a location on the estate with descriptions of what to expect as far as people being in the photos and how many people would be watching, which was incredibly helpful! She directs you in how to pose and makes everything easy! Definitely would recommend her for your photos!

WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND JESSICA!!!!My fianc booked Jessica for my surprise engagement and I am blown away with our experience with her! She made us feel very comfortable during our shoot and directed us around the area for the best shots! We got all our photos back in a little over a week! She recommended gorgeous areas around Asheville that would make for the best photos. Ultimately my fianc chose a hike she recommended and the photos could not be more stunning! We are obsessed with the photos. Jessica is not only an amazing photographer, but she is also very punctual in response time and a joy to work with! Overall, an amazing experience and I would recommend her to anyone who might be considering a photographer!

We booked Jessica for a family and friends photo session in Lake Lure during our first annual friends trip, and she was absolutely amazing! We all came in from different parts of the country, and Jessica made everyone feel so comfortable and relaxed right away. She brought such a fun, easygoing energy to the shoot and captured our group perfectly genuine smiles, laughter, and all the special moments in between. The photos turned out beautiful and really reflected the joy of our time together. Highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a talented, personable photographer who makes the whole experience enjoyable!

I proposed at the Biltmore, and Jessica made the process super easy and smooth. It was great meeting Jessica and she made us feel so comfortable with all the poses (which felt natural). We could not be happier. Really captured the moment in all the best locations.When it came time to propose, the walled garden was closed without warning from the Biltmore property, so I had to improvise on the location of the proposal. I made eye contact with Jessica, and she stayed just far enough back to not spoil the surprise, but captured the whole moment when I took the ring out.Thank you Jessica!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
All of my sessions and wedding packages include edited digital files with print release immediately. Customers don't have to wait months or years for their print release, or pay extra for the photos they love!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I take the time to get to know my customers and understand what they are looking for in photos. From there I cater my time with them to capture the photos they're really looking for.
