Jess is so talented and fun! As a Montana bride, she really made my vision come alive and helped us feel comfortable during our photoshoot, even though it was our first time in front of a camera.. From our very first phone call, we knew she was the right person to capture our entire wedding experience and tell our story.
She was super efficient and made every moment special and fun, including the quiet between moments where she captured each other so beautifully. Not only is she an amazing photographer, but she’s also an incredibly helpful for all things storytelling, elopement photographer logistics, and the wedding experience in Northwest Montana. She supported us throughout planning our whole day and helped us navigate in Glacier National Park with ease for our engagement session.
We were blown away by our sneak peeks and the beautiful photos she delivered, truly some of the best photos we’ve ever had of each other. Jess has a gift for capturing love stories. I wish I could give her 10 stars! If you are looking for a Bozeman wedding photographer, Jess is your girl!
