About

I’m Jessica.

Originally from Pittsburgh in the USA, I’ve lived in New York, St. Louis, Portland, and with my photographer (and business partner) husband Julian, in London, San Francisco, and Boston. All in that order. We now reside a few blocks from the sunny seaside in Brighton, in the United Kingdom. I have a BA in Art History, and a BFA in Photography from Washington University in St. Louis, and an MFA in Fine Art Media from The Slade School of Art (UCL) in London. As well as helping run the business in the background, Julian, who is a photographer in his own right, is my dedicated second shooter. We work as a team, and have been photographing weddings together since 2006. He’s my best friend, and weirdly we love working with each other.

I abso-fucking-lutely love meeting and photographing interesting people, and my own family and surroundings. I like to take natural, relaxed, documentary (or reportage) style photos, full of genuine emotion, rather than the cheesy, awkward posed ones. I was recently honoured to be chosen as Olympus UK’s Wedding Photography Ambassador, so you might find me teaching seminars on wedding photography, or talking at shows like The Photography Show at the NEC on behalf of them.

When I’m not taking photos, I love to bake, craft, read, travel, drink coffee, listen to music, surf (though not so much anymore), and curl up on the sofa watching movies and netflix shows with Julian, our 8 year old daughter Nora, and our cat Shirley II. I REALLY enjoy meeting new people and making friends so hit me up via the contact form, and tell me a little about yourself.
