RICHMOND, VIRGINIA/OBX
FAMILY & WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
INSPIRED BY NOSTALGIA & PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE PAST
Jesslyn photographs from a place of love so your memories look like they were documented by a friend. With a focus on emotional storytelling and finding beauty in imperfections, Jesslyn works with 35mm film, medium format film, polaroids, and digital photography to document weddings, family milestones, and every day life.
Jesslyn's photography style is focused around basking in the moment & documenting what's naturally happening, never forcing anything. She meets people where they are and finds inspiration in her subjects' uniqueness. Jesslyn specializes in photographing weddings, couples, & families out of Richmond, Virginia and frequently works in OBX.
It's so common to see the same wedding photos taken over and over. With film, each roll has a mind of its own. The way color and light is translated through film photography isn’t as literal as it is on modern digital cameras. Film photography is subject to surprises and, in my opinion, this is what makes it so fun and magical. Each camera sees the world through its own universe. My hybrid approach of shooting gives my galleries a mix of feelings and mediums. You will usually spot me with at least three cameras strung across me at all times on wedding days to get all the feels.
MY DREAM IS TO PHOTOGRAPH YOUR WEDDING
THEN BE INVITED BACK TO PHOTOGRAPH YOUR
FAMILY THROUGHOUT THE YEARS
