The in-between moments are the moments. Every bit of your wedding day carries meaning. That little hand squeeze from Grammy, your maid of honor touching up that lip gloss, Mom catching a glance and grasping your hand while walking down the aisle, the flower girl and ring bear playing tag at cocktail hour, the tears streaming down during Dad's speech." Here for it all. For you.

Jessica Miriam here. I'm a wedding and lifestyle photographer that loves all things candid, compositional, and full of real sweet human connection.

Here's my thing. Come as you are. Pleeeease. Whether it be on the couch in your PJs with a glass of vino, galavanting to your local coffee shop, basking in the sun at your favorite beach, or chasing your kids through the house tripping over laundry. If it is you, I'm here for it. 

I'm all about bringing our authentic selves to the table because when we really meet each other where we are, things get real, raw and beautiful. And those are the moments I want to capture. Those are the images that tell a deep story. The images that speak volumes. That make you feel. And remember.

Using my camera as a tool, but human connection as the true guide. I adore capturing love stories in all their glory. Because each one is beautiful and unique in the best of ways. Just like people.

When I photograph a wedding, it's not just pointing and shooting. It's supporting, observing, connecting and creating. I want every couple to know their story means something to me. I'm in your corner. I've got your back, your hype girl, your sounding board. 

So I will show up, smile with intention, ready to document all the goodness of your love. Let's goooo.

I will forever be so grateful for her for these memories. I HIGHLY recommend Jess for your photography needs!"

"She captured every feeling, moment, and detail"

victoria & christian

"Hiring Jess as our wedding photographer was, hands down, the BEST decision we made during the entire wedding process. It felt like she understood us on such a deep level that she knew exactly how to bring out our best selves. The photos are breathtaking, and filled with emotion. She managed to capture every treasured moment. Jess didn't just take pictures; she preserved memories that we'll hold onto forever. We are beyond grateful for her."

"the BEST decision we made for our wedding"

maddison & evan

"Picking Jess as my wedding day photographer was the best decision I made. You can tell when someone genuinely loves what they do, and that feeling radiates off of her. She feels like a friend you've known for years. She 100% without a doubt created the best environment for not only myself and my husband, but for all attending our wedding. She allowed us to enjoy the day, but took hundreds of photos so that we can remember it as well."

"ABSOLUTELY choose Jess as your wedding photographer!"
