"Five stars aren't enough. From the first minutes of our intro call to our wedding day send-off, Jes and Chris somehow exceeded our high hopes and then some. They are gifted, meticulous, kind, calm, and contagiously positive. You can't help but feel at ease around them, and you can feel confident in their steady support. Jes and Chris are experts not only in photography but in wedding day planning and execution. Know nothing about planning a wedding and need an entire day-of timeline? You got it. Need your veil pinned into your hair? Give Jes 30 seconds. Feeling nervous and need a pep talk? They got you. As for the photos themselves...our wedding sneak peek gallery left us with our jaws on the ground.”

"Best photography experience, we plan to use them for years to come."
