Wedding Photographer in New Jersey
My priority is you.My #1 goal is for you to feel safe and comfy
being yourselves.Hi, I’m Jess! (she/her) — a documentary artist from NJ. I have a talent for making people feel comfy enough to be themselves and the ability to turn that into art.
My guess is that you normally don’t feel comfortable in front of a camera, but that won’t be the case here. I take my time to learn about you and make sure you feel good throughout the whole experience with me. You’ll be guided based on your needs, comfort levels, and personal preferences.
I’ll help bring out the natural dynamic between you two. I want to photograph you being yourselves — you won't look or feel awkward, I promise.

This business is proudly LGBTQIA+ celebrated. And anyone who is in this industry and doesn’t support all love, needs to GTFO immediately.
My reason for all this...Why this matters to me:
I’ve always created and loved art. So when I picked up a camera at 13, I never looked back. It’s been a part of my identity ever since. In 2021, I was diagnosed with an eye disease, and I wasn’t sure what my future looked like. But I’m grateful to say that I’m able to still live out my dream. Not a day goes by where I take that for granted - it inspires the art that I create, and the safe space that I provide for people.
Since I’m no stranger to loss or health problems, I live in the moment the best I can. I love spending most of my free time being silly AF with the people I love. And I get pure joy when I’m able to document / romanticize your life or help you to feel good in your skin.
“We never felt awkward and were given the space to be ourselves.”
