Alicia + Shamus // Russell

We have nothing but great things to say about Jess and the everlasting memories she captured for us. Thank you for making our special day that extra bit more special! Jess did such an fantastic job and coming from two people who were slightly nervous about being in front of the camera, she made the whole process relaxing and enjoyable. She provided excellent service from start to finish and on the day she really took note of what we were wanting – a relaxing, simple yet beautiful day! Looking through all the photos, it’s clear she captured just this. We’ve now ended up with a gorgeous set of photographs that look like something out of a magazine. It’s hard to pick my favourites because I just love them all! Family and friends are also so important to the both of us so it’s made even more meaningful to have so many gorgeous photos of the ones who shared our special day too! It was a pleasure having her as our wedding photographer and i’ll be sure to recommend her onto everyone!

Being UK residents coming over and getting married in NZ, we were a little worried about finding the right photographer for our special day. Jess quelled any of those fears as soon as we met her! From our first meeting over Skype to the big day we felt so very welcomed and calmed by her presence and expertise – not just about photography; her knowledge of the local area (we married in Russell) and the best spots to pick was really helpful and reduced any stress for us on the wedding day. We were genuinely sad to say goodbye at the end but when we received our photos a few weeks later (she shipped everything to the UK for us!) we couldn’t have been happier with the results. To this day, all our family and friends still remark on the amazing quality of the photos. Thanks Jess! These memories are for life and we’re so glad you captured them perfectly.

Getting married in such a small rural community, I was a bit sceptical as to whether or not we would be able to find the perfect photographer to capture our special day, but we didn’t have to look very far to find Jess. As soon as we saw Jess’s portfolio we knew we wanted her and locked her in as quickly as we could! Jess is an absolute legend…She was always quick to respond to any questions we had leading up to the day and gave us so much great advice. She made us feel comfortable on the day and was such a joy to work it. We really loved the packaging of the final product too! It was an absolute pleasure having you there Jess.

From our first meeting with Jess we knew we had found a great photographer, but then you can see that from her online gallery. What you can’t see on the gallery is Jess’s amazing personality and incredible knowledge. We both hate our photo’s being taken but Jess put us both at ease and isn’t intrusive, in fact a lot of the time you don’t even realize she is there taking photos. Jess shot our engagement and wedding photos and we would be happy to recommend her. We have only had fantastic comments from family and friends who were at the wedding and from those who couldn’t fly around the world to be with us in Russell have said it felt like they were there. Jess you are awesome! Thank you!
