Unplanned moments are truly the best ones; they create the most memorable experiences that stay with us for a lifetime. These are the moments that fill our hearts with joy and warmth. It could be the sight of tears of happiness rolling down a bride's cheeks as she sees her groom for the first time. It could be the flower girls dumping the basket of petals over their heads, and seeing everyone's faces while they do. It could be the sight of the family dog stealing bites of cupcakes or even your grandma breaking it down on the dance floor. Even though unplanned, these moments make each wedding unique and special. It is these moments that I strive to capture and preserve so that you can relive them for years to come.
Let me start by saying that capturing life's most meaningful moments is an absolute passion of mine. I genuinely believe that these memories are what we hold onto when our loved ones are no longer with us, and that's why I take my job very seriously. I understand that hiring a photographer is a big decision, and I feel incredibly honored that you've chosen me to document this special time in your life. Whether it's a wedding, a family portrait session, or any other milestone event, my goal is to create lasting memories you'll treasure for years. To achieve this, I believe that building a strong connection and fostering trust is essential. That's why I take the time to get to know my clients personally and understand what makes your story unique.
If you've never had photos taken professionally, don't worry! I specialize in working with people who are new to this experience. I will guide you through the entire process and ensure you feel comfortable in front of the camera. We will also chat before the shoot to discuss your ideas for the session and any concerns you may have.

Some extra things that I can include when building your packages - let me know if you’d like me to include any of the following:
Couples sessions are for all the lovey-dovey stuff, including engagements, anniversaries, and just because! We'll hang out, capturing the big laughs and soft smiles, and have a great time in the process! It's my goal to capture moments that mean the most to you, no matter what that is! What would your dream session look like? An intimate session at home with your other half, cozied up on the couch? Running through the city and stopping for pizza at your favorite spot? Whatever you're thinking right now, THAT is what I want to photograph for you.
Every wedding client receives the full treatment! You'll receive my 60+ page Wedding Welcome Guide, which is packed with helpful tips and planning advice, as well as sample wedding day timelines and vendor recommendations. I'll deliver naturally edited images to you in a personalized digital gallery with a built-in print shop, along with a 10x10 wedding album and a few other surprise goodies along the way. Most importantly, you'll have someone who cares deeply about you and your wedding.
Negative. I may not know you yet, but I do know you are beautiful as is, and for that reason, I never do any major body manipulations. However, I will remove blemishes and any distractions that may find their way into an image, like a stop sign in the background.
I'm based in Buffalo, NY and serve the Western New York area! Most of my weddings are in Buffalo, Rochester, or the Adirondacks, with a select number of NYC weddings each year. If you're located elsewhere, don't hesitate to reach out!
I'm not trying to fit you into a predetermined "option A, B or C." Instead, I will create a custom package based on your exact needs. Packages can include an engagement session, full-day wedding coverage, a photobooth, a wedding album and more. I want to tailor this to YOU. Let's talk about what you want!
I deliver your images in a personalized online gallery sent to your email. Your gallery has a built-in print shop to make ordering any prints, canvas, or other products easy peasy.
I'm a one-woman biz! With nearly 40 weddings per year, I have mastered photographing weddings solo. More importantly, I am confident in my ability to do so without missing important moments.
Full wedding galleries are delivered within 8 weeks of your wedding day. Family and couples sessions are delivered within three weeks of our session date.
YASSSS, I'm so excited to hear that! Start by filling out my contact form, and we'll go from there. Can't wait to hear from you!
Absolutely. Once you book, let's schedule a call to go over any questions you have. You also receive my Welcome Guide full of tips and prep info. While I'm happy to help where I can, I am not a wedding coordinator, nor do I wish to be. If you're feeling overwhelmed, I would highly recommend a wedding planner or at least a day-of coordinator.
I pride myself on delivering all the usable images. You'll receive every image not out of focus, a test shot, duplicate, or one where I've caught someone blinking.
I highly highly highly highly highly recommend Jessy as your photographer for your wedding, family shoot, baby shoot, whatever shoot. You would absolutely be missing out on amazing shots, meeting such a beautiful person, inside and out, and the best photographer to work with. You will not be disappointed.
The best part about working with Jessy is that you can feel completely relaxed while knowing there’s a camera on you (something that’s usually pretty difficult for us). One of my favorite moments of the day was when we left the craziness of our reception for a little bit to take some couples photos. She really made us appreciate the moment, the day, and each other. Now we have these beautiful photos that capture those moments and memories!
Jessy is AMAZING! Our wedding photos were everything we wanted and then some! Her small touches and kindness are unbeatable. She made us feel super comfortable and took the time to make sure our entire day was full of laughs, giggles & happy tears. The stress of our big day melted away once Jessy got us going with pictures. Couldn’t ask for a better experience!
