ITHACA WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

Well, hey! I’m Jess.

I’m a film & digital wedding photographer for couples who love out loud. Whose personalities are reflected not only in their lifestyle, but on their bodies, in their homes, and through their stories.

“Jess was hands down the best thing that ever happened to my wedding. She literally took us through a step by step process of how she worked, but the layout of the day was totally up to us. Jess didn't push us to stick to a "well this is how I shoot" kind of timeline - she prioritized and worked around ANYTHING that was important to us. She calmed all of my nerves and answered all 3,000 of my questions. She made me feel more comfortable than any of my other vendors. I can't express enough how lucky we were to have her on the biggest day of our lives.”

– Alli + Jim

“Make friends first, make sales second, make love third. In no particular order.”

– MICHAEL SCOTT

What I’m all about:

I’m passionate about keeping film alive, celebrating diverse & colorful lives, relationships, and cultures, injecting humor into all things, and making people feel warm and comfortable in the face of something truly terrifying – a camera pointed at them. I’m very outgoing and talkative, so there’s never any weird awkward pauses with me.

ABOUT the experience

I can jump in and direct seamlessly for formal portraits and get natural laughs, but I also know when to blend into the background and let the candids happen on their own. So if you’re looking for an animal-loving foodie who can quote The Office all day long...

“Time is money, money is power, power is pizza and pizza is knowledge.”

Rest assured that your investment into your photography coverage is going to a good place... my pizza reserves. And it includes:

– APRIL LUDGATE

Obviously.

– Very quick email responses
– Clear communication
– Attention to detail
– Relaxed conversation (I’m no robot in a business suit, that’s for sure)
– Organization so you feel like everything is taken care of for you
– Gorgeous, artful, colorful wedding photos that reflect who you are

“Jess is not only an exceptionally talented photographer but she is also a kind, silly, genuinely awesome person who will make sure that you feel listened to every step of the way and confident on your wedding day. She was so open and communicative from the first time we spoke about our vision, shots and ideas, and I truly felt like our opinions and participation in the process were of the utmost importance to her. She really worked to get a full understanding of the aesthetic and vibe that we wanted to achieve and she strived to make sure the photos matched our personalities, and that we got every important shot we wanted. I was also super impressed with her versatility and the wide variety of different types of shots she knew to capture; from candid, special moments to tiny details to stunning portraits. Every concern or question we ever had was addressed with such thoughtful advice and explanations that when our wedding finally came I felt so at ease.”
