Hey, I'm Jess

Your Down-to-Earth Wedding, Family & Lifestyle Photographer

Growing up as a Photographer's daughter, I am no stranger to being in front of the lens. I was 10 when I first realized that I wanted to be behind the lens too.

There’s only one thing more precious than our time & that’s who we spend it on.

Testimonials

Absolutely exceptional photographs!
Jess is so fun and easy to work with and made the wedding day so much fun and stress free! She captured the moments and tailored the photo shoots and experience to exactly who we are as a couple and family.
I searched through many many profiles and I’m so glad I had Jess at Heartgate photography to capture these moments for us!
