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!

Working with Francine was an absolute pleasure. She photographed a special family celebration for my mother and did a phenomenal job capturing the heart and spirit of the evening. Not only is her photography top-tier, but her presence put everyone at ease. The resulting photos are stunning memories our family will cherish for years to come. If you are looking for an event photographer who combines talent, professionalism, and genuine care, Francine is the one to call.

We got David to photograph our mother’s 100th birthday party. He was able to transition candids and posed shots seamlessly. Many of our guests asked us to thank him for taking pictures that they specifically asked for.
