Obviously, I'm not the only one who things Jessamyn is amazing.
The first thing people said to me when I started looking for a wedding photographer was to make sure that we felt comfortable with that person since we were going to be with them a good portion of the wedding day. The last thing you need is someone making you uptight. Among all her other wonderful qualities as a photographer, I think this is her best. She managed to put everyone completely at ease. I actually had my guests comment on how much they liked my photographer.
She manages to make the shots relaxed and natural. I didn't want the photos to look posed and rigid or to have that shimmery, fantastical, "this is the wedding from Cinderella" look. She made everyone and everything look amazing, but kept the real feel of the wedding. From her photos, our wedding was a group of our family and friends out at an awesome party on a beautiful day in an incredible setting having a great time, which is what it was (of course I might be biased).
She seemed to be in all places at all times. I mean this in a good way. She was never obtrusive, but she captured everything. Aside from when we were doing the photos of my husband and I, I hardly knew she was there. But when the photos came back, I realized that she had taken great photos of all the people at the wedding (not just the wedding party) as well as the location and decor. She even manged to take great photos of people dancing. For anyone who has tried to take photos at a club, you know this is virtually impossible.
Finally, she is extremely responsive. I don't think I ever waited more than a day to have a response back to an email. For those of you planning a wedding, you know how important that can be. It just gives you peace of mind to know that your photographer is on top of things and available.
Thanks Jessamyn! We are so glad we found you. read more
