August 30, 2026We loved him so much we used him twice!
Jesse did a great job on a photo shoot for our in laws, so we rebooked for my side of the family. He came early, was pleasant, and dealt with the chaos of a lot of people and 5 toddlers very well. Highly recommend and will use again!

January 21, 2026Amazing photographer to capture your memories
We hired Jesse to photograph our small clerk's office wedding. He spent about three hours walking all over the city before and after our ceremony capturing this special moment. I highly reccomend booking him for your event!

September 19, 2025Great experience with photography/videography
Jesse and his partner were amazing to work with. Jesse was extremely responsive and easy to work with throughout the entire process. Communication was great. Jesse showed up early for our event so he was ready to go and did amazing videography (his partner did amazing photography). They were able to give us the final product very quickly after our event. Highly recommend!

October 20, 2026Excellent work at a milestone birthday
Jesse was fantastic to work with and did a beautiful job capturing candids and group shots at a 50th birthday celebration. He was punctual, professional and a pleasure to have at the party. He did great work, while not making it feel like a big photo shoot. Plus, he sent a digital album so quickly after the event. Would highly recommend!
