Jess has captured 3 major events for us now, our wedding, my maternity photos and our son at a few days old. The photos are beyond beautiful and we feel so lucky to have those memories to look back on. Jess not only has a eye for detail, she is so friendly and positive, it made us relaxed and natural for the photos. Xx

We looked at countless photographers online, but no others came close. We loved Jess’s effortless, creative style and her ability to capture all the small details. Choosing Jess as our wedding photographer was the easiest decision we made. On our special day, we instantly felt at ease when Jess arrived. We appreciated her relaxed, non-intrusive style of shooting. We were impressed with her professionalism as she gave direction where needed (e.g. with crowds of people!) but comfortably stood back to document other parts of the day. We saw Jess’s passion come alive during the creative shoots, finding the perfect lighting in the grass and trees as she moved around us. Our favourite photos are the ones of just the two of us; Jess captured these private moments beautifully on her camera. Thank you Jess for taking the perfect collection of photos for us to forever remember our special day.

We wanted a photographer who could not just capture a wedding, but also the feel of the Northland region. When we saw Jess’ work, we were blown away by the quality. When we talked to her she was professional, warm, timely, and gave us the confidence we were making the right decision. Organising a wedding from a different country can be a hassle, but Jess made things easy. On the day Jess was an asset, knowing exactly where to go, handling herself (and others) confidently and giving us the gift of not having to worry. We are overjoyed with the quality of our photos, she captured everything important to us, along with a variety of wonderful little moments that made the day, it was just perfect.

We were all a bit apprehensive as none of us felt that at home in front of the camera……Until we met Jess Burges! What a talented lady she is, Jess made us not only feel comfortable in front of the camera but she made us enjoy it. Jess captured every moment and every emotion with style and grace, she was professional and friendly and we felt like we had known her for years. Jess definitely exceeded our expectations on the day and a thousand times over once we saw the prints.”
