How I cater to offbeat weddings

Hi, I’m Jess! (She/her)

I’m a semi-awkward, nature-loving, former cosplaying, live music obsessed, emo kid at heart. My second home growing up was Hot Topic and I still live in boots and classic vans. I’ve photographed pirate/ninja themed weddings, cosplay weddings, WWE weddings, space themed weddings. List goes on!

People hire me for my artistic and documentary style (I take mostly candids). And because I make them feel comfy in front of a camera! It’s my super power.

Body positivity, inclusivity and diversity are all things that light me up. Let’s celebrate the heck out of who you are!

“BOOK JESS IMMEDIATELY!!! I cannot recommend her enough. Her work is incredible. I have to pinch myself because these photos are an actual dream come true. I (and everyone who has seen them) cannot stop gushing. Jess immediately makes you feel comfortable and safe which is all you can ask for. We are so over the moon with our pictures and feel extremely lucky that she was able to capture our special day so perfectly. I had a friend tell me they want to get married just so they could have Jess photograph it. Jess will always be my first choice for any future events and she should be yours as well.” - Liana

Cover Image

REQUIRED. Select one image to be used as your cover image, which will appear on the category and location pages. Square images work best. Important: Until you add a cover image, your listing will not appear on category or location pages.

Highlighted Images

Please select up to three images to be highlighted in the header of your portfolio. Note that our templates are designed to be responsive, which means that these images will crop differently depending on the viewer's browser size and orientation -- on mobile, images map crop horizontally. On huge desktops, they may crop vertically. That's as intended, although it may result in some headless couples depending on your photo composition.

Highlight Image 1 First highlighted image in portfolio header. To change image, hover and click the X.	Highlight Image 2 Second highlighted image in portfolio header. To remove or change image, hover and click the X.	Highlight Image 3 Third highlighted image in portfolio header. To remove or change image, hover and click the X.

How I cater to offbeat weddings

This is one of the most important fields on your vendor listing! Our readers love to feel special and like you understand the issues that are important to them -- stuff like LGBTQ support, gender-neutral contracts, and inclusive sizing. They also love hearing about how offbeat YOU are, so be sure to mention any of your own quirks as a way to relate to folks.

Client Testimonial

This is the spot to share a short client quote. The formatting of this section looks best with only a few sentences, but feel free to include a link to full reviews.

Promotions or Discounts

Everyone likes a coupon, but our readers LOVE feeling special, and like their specialness matters and gets them a deal. They especially love discounts or coupons specifically for marginalized communities or identities. If you've ever had a particular client you've wanted to work with (say, a transgender bride or a goth couple or a polyamorous triad) this is the spot to offer a discount specifically to those communities!
