MEET JESS
To put it simply, Jess loves weddings.
She relishes in the opportunity to capture love stories and all the details that go along with them. To Jess, photography is such an important part of a wedding day—and nothing makes her happier than capturing all of those moments couples worked so hard to plan and create. She’s photographed hundreds of weddings, and finds such joy in capturing memories that are cherished for a lifetime.
Jess also values the friendships she builds with our clients, allowing her to fully incorporate who they are as a couple into their images. She’s there for them through it all—from booking vendors to picking out the perfect first look location.
Besides photography, Jess loves to travel the world and enjoys experiencing all the different cultures it has to offer. She also has an obsession with dogs—and her answer will always be YES when you ask to have your fur child in your photos!
MEET AMARA
Ever since she was a young girl, Amara has possessed a passion for creating gorgeous designs.
When she was in college, she picked up a camera for a fashion internship, and she hasn’t set it down since. She’s dedicated her life to studying fashion, interior design, and beautiful imagery, giving her the perfect eye for capturing those small, important details.
Amara is always seeking to capture stylish moments for passionate, elegant couples who also appreciate all things love, beauty, fashion, and design. Each image she takes is meticulously curated and planned, creating an effortlessly romantic portrait. Her work has been published internationally on BRIDES, Magnolia Rouge, Amber & Muse, and more.
When Amara isn’t photographing, you can find her visiting her mom in her hometown, browsing NYC vintage racks for classic Chanel, or enjoying a glass of Moscato.
MEET HOPE
For Hope, preserving memories, both near and far, is an honor.
As an adventurer at heart, she has been fortunate enough to visit some of the most extraordinary places in the world, all with her camera in hand. Because of this, her work is greatly influenced by her love of culture, travel, and fashion.
Hope’s love of photography began over a decade ago, when she first developed film in a high school dark room. Her passion for creating heirloom imagery also began at a young age, and she has since made it her mission to create honest imagery that always evokes a sentimental feeling. She channeled years of experience in editorial work to build her signature style, taking a journalistic approach to capturing a wedding day with a unique editorial flair.
Aside from photography, she’s also a lover of good food, red wine and golden retrievers.
