Hi, I'm Jess!


A wedding photographer based in Niagara Falls, New York, documenting weddings throughout Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Rochester, Canandaigua, and Western New York. I also travel wherever your story takes you.

My approach is simple—true-to-color, natural wedding photography that feels like your day, not a production of it.

I’ll step in when needed and step back when the real moments start to unfold.


Wedding Photography That Feels Like You

Your wedding day should feel natural, relaxed, and true to you.

There is room for both candid moments and beautifully guided portraits—so you can enjoy the day as it unfolds while also setting aside time for images that feel polished and intentional.

From getting ready, to your ceremony, to the last song of the night, I focus on real moments, natural emotion, and timeless imagery that reflects your day exactly as it felt.


Serving Buffalo, Niagara Falls & Western New York

I photograph weddings throughout:

Buffalo, New York

Niagara Falls, New York

Rochester, New York

Canandaigua, New York

The Finger Lakes

Western New York

Whether you’re planning a local celebration or bringing everyone together from out of town, I’m here to document your day wherever it takes place.


The Experience

Choosing your wedding photographer is about more than photos, it’s about trust.

On your wedding day, I’m there to help things feel easy and natural.

You can expect me to:

  • Keep things calm and unhurried
  • Offer direction when needed
  • Step back when moments naturally unfold
  • Help you feel comfortable in front of the camera
  • Capture both the big and candid moments

My goal is for you to stay fully present, without ever feeling distracted by the camera.

Studio Photography in North Tonawanda, NY

In addition to weddings, I photograph portrait sessions from my studio located in The Wurlitzer Building in North Tonawanda, New York.

This space is designed for clean, natural light imagery focused on simplicity and connection.

Studio sessions include:

  • Branding sessions
  • Senior portraits
  • Family photography
  • Headshots

A quiet, bright space for timeless portraits.

Newborn Sessions

I offer newborn sessions in my North Tonawanda studio.

These sessions are gentle and relaxed, with a focus on capturing your baby in a natural, comfortable way. I love incorporating color, simple props, and meaningful personal items like homemade blankets or family keepsakes to create images that feel warm, personal, and true to your family.

Now Booking Weddings & Studio Sessions

I am currently booking weddings throughout Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Rochester, Canandaigua, and Western New York, along with select studio sessions in North Tonawanda.

If you’re looking for photography that feels natural, timeless, and true to your day, I’d love to hear from you.
