01. Background

I’m a wedding photographer who brings calm, care, and experience to your day —so you can relax, be fully present, and end up with photos that feel like you.
With over 15 years of experience and a background in graphic design and formal photography training, I bring both creative and technical skill to every session. I still light up every time I get to help a couple feel relaxed, seen, and celebrated.
My style is bold, true-to-life, and focused on emotion. My approach is simple: I build trust, I stay present, and I photograph honestly.

03. Let's Connect

Jessica’s love for photography began while studying Graphic Design at the University of Northwestern, St. Paul, where she spent as much time behind a camera as she did designing. After college, she honed her skills working in a portrait studio in Maple Grove, then moved to Southern Minnesota in 2009 and photographed for Womeninc Magazine for several years.

For over a decade, Jessica has been documenting connection—first with families, and now with couples on their wedding days. Her background in design and years of experience behind the camera shape the way she sees light, composition, and emotion, allowing her to create images that feel intentional, honest, and timeless.

In case you were curious...

My own wedding was planned in four months, and we had no budget for a photographer. And I wish I had valued photography more than any part of my wedding day (other than my husband!).
I have two boys and a girl
I homeschool and sometimes think I must be crazy.
Golden Retrievers have a soft spot in my heart. We've had 5 of them!
I met my would-be-husband when we were about 16, even though we lived over 3 hours apart.
My brain swaps the words "Green" and "Orange" and I will often unknowingly say the wrong one (Yes, I know the difference between them).
I love music but am not musical and have no rhythm. It doesn't stop me from dancing though.
