Hey I am Jess!

There’s something about everyone you love in one place.
Dressed up, slightly windswept, and a little overwhelmed in the best way.

That’s what I’m drawn to.

I photograph weddings in the Bay of Islands with a style that’s warm, editorial and deeply authentic. I’m drawn to beautiful light, strong composition and the kind of moments that don’t need staging — they’re already there if you know how to see them. No heavy filters. No stiff posing.
Just two people surrounded by the people they love, looking and feeling their absolute best — fully in it.

I’ll guide you when it matters, keep things moving quietly behind the scenes, and let the story unfold naturally.

My images are warm-toned and full of depth. Romantic without being overdone. Honest without feeling raw. Strong now, and still right years from today.

After more than 20 years of photographing weddings, I know how to hold the day steady while you’re living it.

You get to celebrate.

I’ll make sure it’s remembered beautifully.
