WASHINGTON WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER; NOSTALGIC, DETAIL- LOVER, AND YOUR MEMORY-PRESERVER
For a Lifetime.
You want photos that feel like home. Ones that bring you right back to the way your partner looked at you during your vows, or the way your best friend cried-laughed during your toast. Photos that feel just as alive, energetic, and colorful as your actual memories. You want to be seen, not just styled. Documented, not just posed. And most of all, you want to remember how it felt, not just how it looked.
I’ve been behind the camera since high school, starting with fashion photography, and eventually falling head-over-heels for weddings.
I’ve photographed everything from newborns to boudoir, but the moment I shot my first wedding and elopement, I knew I’d found the sweet spot where my eye for creative direction could meet something much deeper: connection, emotion, and love in its realest form.
For me, this work isn’t just about pretty pictures, it’s about legacy. I think about how the photos I take will live on. How one day, decades from now, your grandkids, or your nieces/nephews will flip through your wedding album, point to a photo I took, and say, “Wow, look how in love they were.”
That’s why I approach every wedding with equal parts artistry and heart. I’m not here to insert myself into your story — I’m here to document you in it.
Hi, I’m Jessika
I’M A Libra, WHICH MEANS I LIVE FOR BALANCE, BEAUTY, AND A WELL-STRUCTURED ITINERARY..
I’m also a romantic with a strong side of honesty (don’t worry, I’ll make you laugh while I fix your veil and discreetly hand you a drink). I’m an introverted extrovert, so while I bring high energy and warmth on a wedding day, I’ll also be the one quietly making sure you’ve eaten, adjusting your dress, and calming the nerves.
Off-duty, you can usually find me reading a good novel, experimenting with a new craft project, or lying in the grass with my dogs and a cup of coffee. I love to watercolor, pet animals, collect flowers, and travel anytime I can. Basically, I’m a lover of life’s little details — just like you.
What we stand for here
At the heart of my work are the values that guide every decision I make and every story I tell. At the end of the day, what matters most to me is how people feel. I want everyone who steps in front of my camera to know they are welcome here, exactly as they are.
Inclusivity is at the core of my work—I believe every story deserves to be honored and celebrated. No matter who you are, who you love, or what your journey looks like, I want you to feel seen.
I also care deeply about diversity, because our differences are what make life so rich and beautiful. I find so much joy in capturing the traditions, and connections that make your story uniquely yours.
And because I’m constantly in awe of this earth we get to live on, I try to be mindful about my impact. Caring for the environment is part of what I stand for, so I follow the Leave No Trace Principles.
These values aren’t just something I say—they shape the way I move through the world and the way I’ll show up for you.
