Jessica did an amazing job turning our small town hall wedding into a truly magical experience. In addition to her beautiful photography, she served as the day of creative director for video as well. There should not be any hesitation to consider this company to highlight and bring to life your special event. Thank you 🥰

I really liked Jessica when I first met her! Very friendly personality and super chill when taking pictures. She makes taking pictures more fun and is good at making people feel more confident when taking pictures! Also I loved everyone of my engagement photos she did! They're truly beautiful and good quality!

My wife came across Jessica’s information online and we decided that she was the one for us. I knew we had a made the right choice when my wife said that she felt like she “just met a new friend” after the initial meeting with Jess. On the wedding day, Mother Nature graced us with a rain that was falling sideways, which required us to change some of our planned pictures. Jess was on top of things and incredibly flexible and quick to respond to thoughts/suggestions on what pictures we would like for our first look shots. Her respect for the moment was not lost on us either when the tears flowed during our first look while Jess patiently, quietly and expertly moved around capturing the moment perfectly. I continually smiled after hearing the click of the camera because it was usually followed by a squeal of excitement from Jess looking at the screen on her camera. When her 2nd shooter, Adam, mentioned an idea, the excitement and subsequent “oooo good call!” from Jess just filled the room with even more positive energy. Day turned to night, and as the reception began, the skies cleared. Jess, being the opportunist, rounded up as many people as she could for outdoor shots under the twinkle lights. I knew she was feeling the moment when she dragged my wife and I over to a fire pit and positioned us on one side, and then laid down on the ground on the opposite side. After hearing multiple “oh heck yea this is gonna be awesome”, our excitement for the final product grew even more! It has now been 2-weeks since our wedding, and we still mention how much fun Jess was to have at our wedding. Not just as a professional photographer, but as a guest. She is personable, social, and constantly smiling/laughing! We are incredibly excited to see what the images look like once we receive them. On behalf of the new Mr & Mrs Fallon, I want to humbly thank Jess and Adam for adding another positive story to a wedding that will be remembered forever.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
All my pricing is quite standard. I do offer discounts on certain sessions, but usually if you decide to book a second session. An example would be Maternity and then newborn lifestyle. A second example would be an engagement session, followed by the wedding. Travel fees may apply depending on how far the locations are. Also please expect to pay a 3% service fee & a 7% sales tax fee on all sessions!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Starts with a phone call, would love to zoom🖤 Than sharing of ideas. Shortly after a consiltation will follow. It’s good to meet up before a shoot, this way we get to know each other and work out all the kinks before the big day. Then you can expect your photos 2 to 3 weeks after your event. (Weddings 2-3months)
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Photoshop & Lightroom certificate from URI
