"Working with James & Jess, you instantly feel like best friends from the very first meeting."
Working with James and Jess, you instantly feel like best friends from the very first meeting. Not only does their constant smiles and happiness spread to you like wildfire but you immediately see that you are in perfect hands with photographers for such a big event in your life. I trusted them to get every picture I would want without giving a specific list and they captured everything and more. Every single person who has seen the photographs has given the absolute highest praises of their work, and all of my siblings has now used them as well! We love James and Jess!!

My husband and I were SO happy we chose James and Jess to be our wedding photographers! We did our engagement photos, wedding photos, and the witty photo booth with them and every part from start to finish was perfect. Jess and James are some of the sweetest people we've ever known, and can honestly not imagine our wedding day without them. Our photos turned out beautifully, and would recommend them to everyone!

"You guys were absolutely amazing - truly visionary, so organized, adaptable, always willing to lend a hand & just a ton of fun!"
A big thanks to you James and Jess. You guys were absolutely amazing - truly visionary, so organized, adaptable, always willing to lend a hand and just a ton of fun to be around. We truly cannot thank you enough. You made our day so incredibly special - from helping us set the stage with a private first look, to taking the most amazing and special captures of us and our family members and friends before, during and after the ceremony, to whisking us away at sunset for some special moments that I know we will always treasure, to sticking around much later than planned for the hava nagila. Thank you from the very bottom of our hearts for sharing your beautiful light with us. You two are the most beautiful, genuine couple.

"They are amazing - I didn't even notice them at all during the event & then we received these amazing detailed shots of our wedding!"
Where to begin? Jessica and her husband James are amazing. I met Jessica in Washington D.C. many years ago and saw her beautiful work. I knew then that if I ever was fortunate enough to get married, James and Jess would be my photographers. They are based out of Santa Barbara and made the trip to photograph our wedding. They are amazing - I didn't even notice them at all during the event and then we received these amazing detailed shots of our wedding!

"On a day where so much is going on, they quickly make you feel at ease and beautiful."
James and Jess are two of the warmest people I have ever met (on top of being amazing photographers!). I say this first, because, on a day where so much is going on, they quickly make you feel at ease and beautiful. James and Jess listened to all of our requests and created the perfect mixture of posed shots with candid's while always providing us the proper distance to be immersed in the moments. Best of all, the ease, the beauty, and the moments are all perfectly captured in stunning photographs for my husband and I to cherish, always.
