    Amazing wedding photos

    Jess photographed our wedding in December 2021. We are SO happy and thrilled with her services and work. Leading up to the day, she was responsive and gave great feedback and suggestions. The day of our wedding, she was so efficient and knew what she was doing. She was so fun and easy to work with and helped and guided us with our photos. When we received our wedding photos (within 3 weeks, super fast!!), we were literally BLOWN away. She captured the day beautifully and the photos are just beautiful and we love her perspective and eye!! She took some amazing shots and we can't say enough amazing things about Jess. We highly would recommend her and use her again. Thanks Jess for being a part of our special day and capturing photos/memories that we will have forever!!!

    A Gorgeous Butterfly on the Wall Experience

    How do I even begin to express our gratitude for Jess' jaw-dropping depiction of our day? We came home from our honeymoon unbelievably excited to open up our gallery, and what I was met with, were the shots of my dreams. From day one, we knew that Jess had that intangible quality and an innate ability to capture people at their most natural and relaxed selves. We were flooded with emotions as picture after picture went by that absolutely encapsulated how joyous the day was and how ecstatic everyone was to be there. Jess captured moments we weren’t even aware of and are now so grateful to have. Jess, thank you for sharing our day with us, through your unbelievable eye. Being in film myself, I am always hyper aware of framing, colour and light— I knew that Jess shared such an immense respect for these elements— and her mastery of the craft shows up in EVERY photo. We will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives. She was that calming presence in a flurry of activity, that day. It was like she was never there, but somehow we knew she always was. It’s exactly the kind of intimate experience we had hoped for, where we could just keep the focus on one another.

    We are so happy we hired Jess to photograph our wedding!

    We received a little sneak peak of our photos just a week after our wedding. The photos are so beautiful you can’t tell how awkward my husband and I truly are. We’re pretty reserved people and Jess was so professional and easy to work with. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and did an amazing job at coaching us and finding the right places to take photos. I feel like she really understood our vibe and personalities based on our wedding design and captured it perfectly. Thank you Jess for creating these beautiful memories for us! We can’t wait to see the rest of the photos!

    Jess from Daring Wanderer photographed our cottage wedding in Owen Sound and an engagement shoot at one of her own secret (stunning) locations. Jess’ work speaks for itself. Her photos have movement, texture and emotion. Her use of light and shadow make for dramatic and vivid photos. She works as a single shooter with few gadgets. She doesn’t disrupt the day, just fits around it and captures it. She excels at candids and has an amazing eye which makes her work insanely fast. She also has a magical talent for making you look photogenic when you are not and making you look much better than you do in real life (or at least that was the case for me)! We could not have chosen a better photographer.

    Jess is a dream to work with. From the first few email exchanges to meeting her for the first time on our wedding day, to receiving our photos – just an incredible experience. Hiring the right photographer was important to us and Jess was everything we wanted and more. We LOVE the liberties she took in documenting the moments and details of our day. The photos really read like a story and she really captured the magic we felt that day. We couldn’t believe how quickly she processed our photos and how many photos she took!! From looking at the photos you might think we had a team of photographers, but she was there all on her own. She is a ninja! We are in love with our photos. They are so gorgeous and we feel SO lucky to have had the opportunity to work with Jess. She is super easy going, talented, and professional. Highly recommended!!

    Tomo & Chris!

    Your wedding was one of the most magical of days that I was so fortunate to be a part of. To also be able to watch as you got fitted into your kimono was really special and I want to thank you for opening your arms and making me feel like part of your family throughout the day. I cannot wait to blog your wedding and share it with the world because it was incredible!

    All the love from me and baby :)

    Beautiful Memories!

    Jess was the second thing we booked in regards to the wedding after we had a venue and location confirmed and I am so glad we were able to have her shoot our wedding! I had been enamoured with her gorgeous photos after looking for engagement photographers a few months earlier and was so thrilled that she was able to take us on and drive to Kingston, Ontario to shoot our engagement session at home and fly to Vancouver, BC for our wedding. Our engagement photo shoot was relaxed and fun and I know both me and my husband will always cherish having photos taken in our first home together in our backyard and by the Kingston waterfront. We got to know her and she was fun, approachable and made the awkward situation of posing for photos feel like we were just hanging out. Our wedding was large and full of family and friends from all over the world but Jess was still able to capture some intimate moments during our ceremony and and made a crowded national park on a long weekend look like a serene forest. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone. She is thoughtful, artistic and will capture beautiful and intimate images that you will be able to cherish forever.

    Jess was wonderful to work with! My husband and I had a small intimate wedding of 25 and Jess quickly fit right in amongst our family. She was fast and captured every moment exquisitely. We are so thankful we chose Jess to capture our special day! She is the best and we admire our photos everyday!!

    Daring Wanderer Photography's reply:

    Marjory, your words mean so much! Thank you for letting me be a part of your intimate wedding and for trusting me to capture all the small moments for you. I hope you are adjusting well to the move and hope to stay in touch! xo

    I cannot recommend Jess enough! After our initial meeting to discuss the possibility of her documenting our wedding, I was convinced. Compared to other photographers we had been speaking to she genuinely seemed excited and expressed an interest in being part of our plans. She does an amazing job of making you feel like you're her top priority although she has tons of other clients. What I loved most was her ability to document very intimate moments without intruding or making them feel contrived. The photos she delivered were incredibly thoughtful and far exceeded our expectations.

    We reached out to Jess as our dream photographer, but I didn't have too high hopes that she'd be able to accommodate our budget and timing. We were able to work it out - and the extra cash we ended up spending was beyond worth it! She was kind and confident on the day of, directing where it was needed, standing back when it was intimate, and even helped our wedding party put their boutonnieres on! The photos she delivered are beyond what we could have hoped for, and she got them to us so quickly! Grateful we were able to have Daring Wanderer capture our wedding :)
