Very Talented and Professional!

Jessilynn was our wedding photographer and she delivered!! Her photos are stunning yet candid, and she has a way of putting everyone at ease. She gives clear directions, and has an eye for capturing the perfect moment. When we first saw her portfolio, we knew her photography style was exactly what we wanted. When we met with her, we saw how knowledgeable and personable she was, and we appreciated all the practical advice she gave us on how to plan out our wedding day. Would 100% recommend!

Jessilynn is amazing!!

I don’t believe there could have been anyone better than Jessilynn to be our photographer for both our engagement and wedding. When my husband and I first found Jessilynn’s website and saw her work we were instantly captivated by her style. Jessilynn is an immensely talented photographer who has a good eye for composition, colour, and lighting. All the elements flows so well together, and creates such beautiful and timeless photos. She is also very responsive to emails, friendly, and knows the vision she wants to capture. During our first look photoshoot she told us how to pose and all the photos came out so stunning! We are so thankful for all the intimate moments Jessilynn captured for us. She is truly a phenomenal photographer. We will be planning to book Jessilynn again for future events!

The Total Package!

It's hard to find the right words to express my gratitude to Jessilynn for our magical photos, and describe her incredible passion and phenomenal creativity.
To say we absolutely love our pictures is an understatement.

Jessilynn is one of my sisters best friends, so I’ve know her for years - and when my sister and fiancé planned a surprise proposal, followed by a surprise engagement party, it made it all the more special that she was our photographer.

Her talent is obvious – just take a look at her website or social media – but my experience exceeded all expectations!

After capturing the proposal, and moments following, which involved my entire family and closest friends surprising us, Jessilynn whisked my fiancé and I away for a private photoshoot.
She was focused, with a great eye for detail and was able to take so many exceptional shots in such a quick time, respecting the fact that 20 something people were waiting on us to get back to them and start our engagement party.

Working with her was so enjoyable. She coached us the whole time, and made us feel genuinely comfortable in front of her lens, which really shows in the photos.

My fiancé and I were visiting from out of country, and she managed to put a selection of our shots to music in a beautiful slide show, in just days, so I could share this with my family before leaving.

She was the perfect choice for our proposal and engagement party, giving us the most beautiful photos from one of the best days of my life.

Jessilynn, I could not thank you enough – I’m so appreciative that you were there with us on that special day, and captured those once in a lifetime moments that we now have to look back on and treasure forever.

I would definitely, highly recommend Jessilynn to anyone looking for a photographer who is not only extremely gifted and professional, but also so kind and caring, and amazing to work with, whatever your special event may be.

Beautifully captures those unexpected, special moments

Jessilynn took our engagement photos this spring at a local park, and they turned out beautifully. She was super easy to work with; we even had to reschedule a couple of times and she was incredibly understanding and accommodating. She coached us through the whole shoot, and some of the seemingly out-of-the-box ideas actually ended up being our favourite photos. We would recommend Jessilynn to anyone looking to work with a photographer who can capture those little, unexpected moments.

Best of the Best!

I found Jessilynn on Instagram...so I call it fate! Her bright photos with tons of emotion is really what drew me to her. When we met she made me feel super comfortable, and photography being so important I had no doubt that she would execute exactly how I'd imagine.
One challenging decision I faced was to get a photographer and videographer (I ended up getting both strictly to avoid regret) and to be honest it was totally not necessary. Jessilynn captured my photos as if it were in live picture! Unbelievable!
Also, if you want to capture far and close images, having her and an assistant is crucial! I loved the variety I got and truly did not feel like she missed anything! (and I had a 200 pp wedding!)
Someone taking photos of you is never easy but she really allowed us to be ourselves and quickly made us feel comfortable in front of the camera.
I have already recommended Jessilynn to my future bride friends and will continue to do so....she is professional, sweet and focused....you won't be disappointed!
(I attached my favourite photo! Thanks to her and her assistant for this amazing idea which I felt was a reflection of our excitement after just getting married!)

Jessilynn is able to capture the raw effortless love between her clients. Jessilynn is passionate, bright and thoughtful.

What first attracted us to Jessilynn’s work was the honesty of her pictures. Jessilynn is able to capture the raw effortless love between her clients.

Looking back at our engagement sessions, I think the thing we were most nervous about was being professionally photographed for the first time. Will it be awkward? Where do our arms go? What if we just can’t stop giggling the whole time? Jessilynn made it easy. She is so down to earth and you can just tell from the first few shutters of her camera, that she loves what she does. You instantly feel that she is here for you and here to capture the love, laughter, and fun of your relationship.

She is organized and experienced. She was amazing in helping us plan out our special day. Jessilynn emphasized the importance of us also enjoying our wedding day. She suggested that she would be taking us out for special moments like the sunset so we could either take a few pictures or just have moments to ourselves and breathe. To be honest this gave us an instant sigh of relief and they were moments we looked forward to on our wedding day.

Anticipating our wedding day, I thought about our family, friends and guests who were special to us. Our guests are people who have impacted our lives and it was important that they share in the celebration of our next greatest adventure. We wanted our guests to enjoy themselves and have a good time filled with laughter and smiles. Jessilynn was already on top of it as she had asked us to prepare a list of guests we wanted to be sure not to miss. This was one less stress off of our shoulders.

Our favourite part of the whole experience was feeling our nerves just melt away because we knew Jessilynn was looking out for our best interests. Our wedding day started off with thunderstorms! We ended up having to adjust our schedule on the fly in order to take full advantage of the pockets of sunshine we were gratefully given. As you can imagine, we were stressed and unsurprisingly behind schedule… As I fell into stress mode, Jessilynn was realistic and firm in her encouragement that we shouldn’t rush these parts of our wedding day. The moments I spent walking bare foot on the grass (because my heels were sinking into the freshly rained on grass), the moments spent laughing with our parents, groomsmens and bridesmaids, the moments embracing my soon to be husband perfectly captured by Jessilynn’s distant camera shutters.

Jessilynn is passionate, bright and thoughtful. We can confidently say that the best decision we made was having Jessilynn capture the first day of our greatest adventure.

Fun experience to have Jessilyn take our proposal photos for us!

My wife and I live in South Korea, we were used to photos being taken with still poses. So, Jessilyn's style of capturing spontaneity was really refreshing!
I was going back and forth on using Jessilyn's services at first because it seemed pricey. But I have to say, the entire experience of getting the photos taken, and seeing them afterwards was definitely worth paying for. The proposal was one of the best moments in our lives and we got the best photographer for it!
Jessilyn was very chill and easy going during our sesion, yet professional with her work. She had the sneak peek photos ready in a week's time and the final products ready sooner than we expected it.
My wife and I always share the same warm sentiments when looking at the photos from that day. Thanks Jessilyn! :)

A Pleasure to Work With!

I first met Jessilynn at a Bridal Show in 2017 shortly after I got engaged and the first thing I really liked about her was there was never any pressure. She added me to her mailing list and sent an array of helpful emails with wedding ideas and tips without the expectation that we would hire her: she genuinely just wanted to help in any way possible to make the wedding planning process easier. When my husband Jeff and I finally got our acts together and booked a date and venue, we met with Jessilynn to discuss. She was able to accommodate our busy schedules and showed up prepared with various examples of her work and pricing. When it came time to do our engagement photos, both Jeff and I thought about cancelling a million times. Neither of us are very comfortable in front of the camera, and were not looking forward to it. Jessilynn made us feel as comfortable as we could (even though we were still super awkward) and we were happy to have that experience because when it came time for photos on the actual day of our wedding, we felt way more relaxed and prepared. We honestly could not be more thrilled with Jessilynn and our final wedding photos. Her work speaks for itself and I can't recommend her enough. Thank you!

Whispery Romance

We found Jessilyn through an online facebook group I belong to for Wedding inspiration and support - BUNZ WEDDING. She had posted a sweet and lovely offering for an engagement session to a couple that spoke to her as a way to give back to the wedding industry. Wow! Who does that? The answer - SHE DOES.

She was so lovely to work with from the moment she picked us. She was super flexible with her availability and provided some great perspective on wedding planning, which was refreshing and genuine.

What drew me to her work was the way she captured light. She really does approach her photos with a fine art perspective. The images she captured for our engagement session was whimsical at times, catching moments of whispery romance between my fiancé and I. He and I were definitely a little camera shy. But that said, she was somewhat able to make us feel comfortable with a camera pointed at us. All of her images are natural and easy going. I really loved the idea of doing an in home session where we could just be us, doing us.

I would recommend Jessilynn to anyone looking to do an engagement shoot that is looking for beautiful clean images, bright and airy, with romance breathed into every frame.

Thank you again Jessilynn!

I have to recommend this incredible photographer I worked with for engagement photo's. She is and absolute gem! When I first stumbled across Jessilynn, my fiancé and I were instantly IN LOVE to her work. She just has such an incredible eye for capturing the love and passion between people. Her work spoke for itself!

On chatting with Jessilynn, it was like we had known her forever. She was so supportive prior to our shoot with not only general wedding advice (venues, makeup artists, videographers, etc), as well as unique location suggestions to do our engagement photo's. I haven't had anyone show such a genuine interest in my wedding planning thus far and with almost 100 emails back and forth leading up to our engagement shoot.

Both my fiancé and I were so nervous leading up to the shoot, concerned about if we'd look awkward, what we should wear, how to hold ourselves, etc. The standard "never before been a part of a profession shoot" jitters. It took maybe 2 minutes (and yes, a sip of wine) to get comfortable – Jessilynn made it so much fun, giving guidance when needed, yet hands off enough for us to make natural pictures. My absolute favourite part of the day, was when my fiancé and I were cuddling for couple photo's with me on his lap and Jessilynn told him to whisper something funny ..or dirty in my ear. I am not sharing what he said, but the genuine laugh she was able to capture from that moment was so special.

Within 6 days we got a first look at our photo's and I have to say, we are absolutely thrilled. I may have squealed on first look! It is really so special to have our love captured so creatively! The passion Jessilynn exerts to provide the highest quality results speaks volumes. We both highly recommend her for any wedding or special event you may have.
