My love for photography began when I realized that if I held an oddly shaped little box and pushed a button, a photo would pop out — like actual magic. Since then, that sense of wonder has never left me. Photography has become part of who I am and how I see the world. When I’m not behind the camera, you can usually find me out in nature. Serendipitous moments with wildlife and soaking up quiet moments outdoors is my version of peace.

I thru hiked the Appalachian Trail in 2019, and the Pacific Crest Trail in 2023. It was during that second trek that the seed for this wedding photography business was planted. A couple asked me to snap their photograph atop the breathtakingly beautiful Kearsarge Pass. After viewing the shot, they were over the moon! We continued our descent down the mountain together, discussing our shared love for the art of photography. Turns out, they were wedding photographers! They generously shared their wisdom and encouragement, ultimately giving me the confidence to start this journey.

We’re probably a great fit if...

  • You’re game to keep our shared journey lighthearted! Don’t worry if you feel uncomfortable in front of a camera, many people do at first! I will help guide you and your honey through various poses and I promise it will be F-U-N!

  • You prefer candid, authentic shots over posed, less natural photographs. But don’t worry - I’ll sprinkle in a few posed shots in the mix as well.

  • You enjoy frolicking in the awe-inspiring outdoors! That being said, I certainly won’t dismiss special indoor spots!

  • You’re kind. A sign used to hang in my classroom that said, “Be nice or leave.” My grandma also used to say, “Be always kind and true.” Both are mottos I live by—and the energy I bring to every shoot.

Hi:) I’m Jessi - the soul behind the memory catcher

  • I shoot using a Canon EOS R6 Mark II.

  • Absolutely! I love any excuse to travel!

  • All of your photos are captured in RAW format to preserve the highest quality. From there, I carefully process and edit each image before delivering the final collection to you in high-resolution JPEG format.

  • You will have access to all of your images via an album through a platform called Pic-Time. It is extremely user friendly, and you will be able to easily download all of your images from there! You will also be able to share this album with family and friends!

  • 15% of the payment is due to secure your wedding date. The full payment is due 2 weeks before your official wedding. If you find yourself in a situation that requires flexibility in this matter, talk to me! I am extremely understanding, and am happy to accommodate your needs within reason.

  • Absolutely! If this is something you are interested in and would like to learn more about, simply mention it in your “Contact Me” form:)

  • I get it — wedding photography can feel like a big investment. But there’s a lot more involved than just showing up with a camera on your big day! What you’re really paying for is the full experience: someone who’s there to capture the moments that matter and put in the countless hours afterward to make those images shine. Most of the work actually happens after the wedding — sorting through hundreds (sometimes thousands!) of photos and carefully editing each one to reflect the beauty and emotion of your day.

    There are also ongoing costs that support the process — professional editing software like Adobe Lightroom, high-end camera equipment and maintenance, and hosting platforms to deliver and showcase your images seamlessly online.

    All of this adds up to a final product that’s thoughtful, intentional, and truly lasting. You’re not just hiring someone to take pictures — you’re hiring someone to help tell your story in the most meaningful way possible.

  • Yes! I am open to capturing anything that you wish! This includes, but is not limited to, events, graduations, bachelorette/bachelor parties, boudoir, newborn, maternity, and branding! Have an idea brewing outside of this? Ask me!

From the moment we started, her warmth and natural ability to make us feel comfortable created a really enjoyable experience! Jessi tactfully guided us through beautiful and more traditional poses while also suggesting some playful and unique ideas. Overall, she created an upbeat, light-hearted, and really fun atmosphere!
