RICHMOND, VIRGINIA FILM WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

TESTIMONIALS
KAT & HANNAH

"Holy shit. We are reeling. Every single frame is unbelievably stunning. God, we have so many feelings!!! We had the best night of looking through these gorgeous photos, listening to one of our wedding playlists and just relishing in the romantic vibes and shedding a few tears.
We feel like we time traveled back to our favorite day and got to relive the beauty and the warmth of expressing our love for each other, as well as the silliness and the fun we had with our family and friends. I am so in love with all the candids, the blurry shots, the details of the gorgeous nature around us that day. We are especially obsessed with all of the film photos, thank you so so much for keeping that in mind for us! As you eloquently put it, there is just a way that film can capture the emotions of a moment, and your film photos do just that. You recreated the vibe of the day so poignantly, and put all of these puzzle pieces together, each one contributing to such a unique and organic feel. The gallery is a captivating work of art in itself.
​The portraits of guests and other couples !!!!! Getting to go deeper into the guests’ experiences that were happening while we were in the middle of the whirlwind of the day is so so special. Your lens captured certain moments between us and family and friends that went by so fast for us in the moment, looking through them truly feels like slowing down time. We are so grateful for this magic. I love that you were a part of all of those special moments :) and getting to see everyone’s faces witnessing our vows. Words just fail us. The ceremony looks so cinematic and like a fairy world, you got all the little details in decor and the flowers and the programs, they’re so perfect. Your eye is unmatched, for capturing such special moments, everything looks so powerful and so sweet. There’s so much heart and meaning in every photo. wow. We are totally and entirely blown away. This gift you have given us truly touches both of our hearts and makes us wonder how the hell we got so lucky to get our absolute dream photographer to document the best day of our lives. We’ll never be able to thank you enough jesslyn. We love you, thank you for making us feel so seen. 💗🥹"

"I truly do not know where to begin or the words that will encapsulate how wonderful Jesslyn was at our September 2022 wedding. She was kind, patient, understanding and always followed our lead. The pictures I have from our wedding are genuinely the best photos I have ever seen of not only my now husband and I, but of all our loved ones. I especially appreciated that she took the time to take beautiful candid photos of our friends and family at the ceremony and reception. Not one guest was missed. Her skills are above top-tier, her personality is so warm and her photos...there are no words. Book Jesslyn, there is no one else like her."

We love, love, loved our experience and look forward to working with Jesslyn again in the future!!"
BRIANA & MARK
"Jesslyn was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We had a small, intimate wedding with just immediate family and she captured the beautiful day and it’s essence better than we could have imagined. Due to some unfortunate events, our wedding was a little stressful, but Jesslyn was patient, kind and didn’t miss a beat. She was so professional and sweet —my whole family adored her. We are so glad we hired her and are so excited to see how much she has grown since our wedding in 2017! I hope we work with her again soon. I couldn’t recommend her enough!"


CHRIS & AMANDA
"Hiring Jesslyn was one of the best decisions that we made throughout the whole wedding process!! (And I can't stress that enough)! She was incredibly caring, creative, and professional. Our photos were truly incredible, and she really captured the vibe that we were going for. We've gotten so many compliments on our photos and a ton of inquiries about Jesslyn's work. We got all of our photos back really quickly, and she made us feel like a priority. We plan to work with her a ton more in the future!"

SHAELIN & ETHAN
"Jesslyn went absolutely above and beyond for me and my husband for both our engagement photos and our wedding photos. She is truly so kind, engaging, enthusiastic, AND the best hype person!! Our photos were exactly what we wanted and more, with an artistic touch that only she could come up with. Throughout our entire wedding and after we got so many compliments of Jesslyn because of how inclusive she was of everyone and how she captured all of our moments so beautifully! Not to mention, she made me feel like an absolute princess and ethereal on our day and during our engagement shoot. I seriously cannot recommend her enough!!!!"
MACKENZIE & ISAAC
"Jesslyn set aside time to get to know myself and husband better and made us effortlessly comfortable. I absolutely love the way Jesslyn supported us on our wedding day. On a high anxiety day she was there to advocate for me. We are so happy with how our pictures turned out. Jesslyn was so friendly, creative, and professional. We are so lucky to have such beautiful reminders of our special day and our family. Jesslyn was extremely time efficient in getting our photos back to us and the quality was AMAZING! She even followed up with us a few weeks after our wedding. You can tell she genuinely loves photography and capturing these important moments. We have already booked with her again!! We would highly recommend Jesslyn to everyone for all occasions!!"

ALDEN & MATTHEW
"I cannot say enough about how happy we are with our wedding photos! Jesslyn went beyond photographing our family and friends on our wedding day. She captured the joy, movement, and love we felt in each moment! Our wedding photos feel like art and we absolutely love the film and Polaroids as well. Jesslyn was helpful throughout our wedding planning process and brought a calming, but magical presence to our wedding day. We hope to use her again and again for milestones throughout our life!"

REGINA & NATHAN

"Jesslyn is seriously the best! I found her after searching for what felt like countless hours, because I’m admittedly picky with photographers. We immediately clicked and it really shows in the maternity pictures of my husband and I! My husband said it was the best experience he’s ever had taking photos, and the photos came out gorgeous! Gorgeous is a huge understatement, I truly am obsessed with how they came out, and I’ll cherish the photos she took of my pregnancy forever. We have a few more sessions set up because you can never capture too many memories. Oh also, this goes without saying but Jesslyn is sooo easy to work with! Over the months of planning we’ve been back and forth with inspo pics, outfits and locations. You can tell she absolutely loves what she does and cares about how much you love them equally! I am so happy we found Jesslyn and can’t wait for her to capture our precious family even more in the future. <3"
MALLORY & TAYLOR
"We booked Jesslyn for our outdoor wedding in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. She was worth every dollar we paid. We booked for her style of photography and how organically she captures every moment. Her work is simply beautiful and priceless as she captures every moment. We loved how we could have film, polaroids, and digital photos. I have yet to see a photographer offer what she does; she really enhanced our day and experience. Beautiful images that we get to keep forever. We are already planning to use her in the future for family pictures."
