DETAILS
MATTER.

Your story. My pov.

documented by someone who genuinely wants to know them — a photographer with more than a decade of experience, a cinematic eye for detail, and a warmth that makes even the most camera-shy people forget the camera is there. She is not the cheapest option and doesn’t try to be. She is the option for couples who will still be showing these images to their grandchildren.

DESTINATION AND DOMESTIC

WEDDINGS + ELOPEMENTS

Whether you're planning something grand or keeping it lowkey, I'll be there for all of it! Full coverage, a second photographer, and the kind of attention to detail that means nothing slips through.

Full-day coverage with a second photographer, polaroid sneak peeks, behind-the-scenes video, and a gallery of edited high-res images delivered to your inbox with full printing rights.
35mm Film available as an add-on. Collections can be customized —
Coverage options: 8, or 10 hours

Starting at $5,700 - averaging $6,000

ELOPEMENTS & MICRO-WEDDINGS
Smaller groups. Just the essentials. All the intention. If you're skipping the spectacle and building something more intimate, I'm completely on board. Elopements are some of my favorite days to shoot because there's a simplicity to them that full weddings don't always have, and that sense of tranquility makes for incredible images.
Travel available depending on location. Reach out and let's figure out the details together.

Starting at $3,000

NOT SURE WHICH ONE FITS?
If you're somewhere between a full wedding and an elopement — a small backyard ceremony, an intimate dinner, a courthouse followed by a celebration — let's talk. I've photographed all of it, and I'm good at figuring out what kind of coverage actually makes sense for your day.


Jessie was one of the best choices we made regarding our wedding!

JUST THE TWO OF YOU

The full circle

Maternity + Family

Every season of life deserves to be documented. Whether you’re expecting, growing or just want to capture where you are right now — I’d love to be there for it. Continuity means a lot to me, which is why many of my maternity and family clients are couples I’ve photographed for years.

What’s included:
- 60-minute session
- Location of your choice
- Two outfit changes if needed
- 75-100 edited hi-res images
- Behind-the-scenes video

Pricing: $500

If we've worked together before — for your engagement, your wedding, or anything else — I'd love to continue your journey by being your photographer! 

This was our first time getting professional photos taken & Jessie helped us relax & directed us to get the best, most natural feeling photos!

Featured 2025 Weddings

Spring Wedding - Lesner Inn

Pat and Emily · The Lesner Inn, Virginia Beach, VA · 2025 "This wedding stood out to me because of the immense joy and excitement everyone had that day! They brought the tears and brought the party! Their couples portraits were some of my very favorites that year - goes to show the more time we build into the timeline the more magic you can create!

Summer Wedding - The Clifton Inn

David and Maddie · The Clifton Inn, "This wedding was one of my favorites that year because they really focused on having tons of time to capture couples portraits and it showed! I was able to get creative and have some fun with different angles and locations at the venue!

Fall Wedding - Upper Shirley Vineyards

Forest and Shannon · Upper Shirley Vineyards, Charles City, VA · 2025 "From the moment I walked into the venue and saw the overall vision come to life, I knew this wedding was going to be special. Their details were so unique and really elevated the look. Homemade lampshades as details. Mixture of fruit + floral centerpieces. Moody/jewel toned color palette. The chance of rain didn’t stop them from having the outdoor ceremony they had hoped for!

FROM THE EXPERIENCE

I've been doing this for more than a decade and I'm still obsessed with the joy I witness on my clients’ biggest days. 

My clients don't leave with a stack of posed portraits. They leave with little slices of real life — the looks, the laughs, the moments nobody else noticed because they were too busy celebrating or fully taking it all in. I would describe my photography as a blend of cinematic and timeless. In my approach to wedding photography, I am always ready to offer direction when needed, ensuring that every important moment is captured. 

That’s the mission, and it starts well before your session or wedding day. I’m not here to be a stranger behind a lens, I’m here to help capture the story you’ll be telling for years to come!

READY TO MAKE IT OFFICIAL?

WHAT TO EXPECT

LEt'S DO THIS!

01. First things first, let's set up a quick phone call or FaceTime to chat more in depth on details and get to know each other a little bit more!

02. After our chat, I'll send over a proposal, drafted contract AND a few past wedding galleries for you both to look over and review at your leisure.

03. Then when I get the "LET'S DO THIS!" email from you, I'll send over the official contract and invoice. Once signed and retainer is paid, BOOM you're officially on the calendar! Welcome to the JWP family! Bonus: I love to send my new couples a fun little "welcome and thank you" gift soon after booking! :-)

that sound like a plan?
