About me
I started behind a computer, retouching photos for brands like Zales, Kay Jewelers, Vera Wang, and Cabela’s. For years, I helped other photographers bring their vision to life—until I realized I wanted to tell the stories myself.
That’s what pulled me into weddings. They’re beautifully complex. In just one frame, I get to capture love, joy, and the start of a new adventure. It’s real, it’s unscripted, and it’s what I love most.
By the end of the night, I’m not just the photographer—I’m part of the celebration, high-fiving, hugging, and celebrating right alongside you.
Funny enough, I didn’t start with a camera—
I'm Jesse.
My style is cinematic and documentary. I chase those in-between moments—organic, unscripted, and full of life. I’ll gently step in when we need to crank up the energy, but most of the time, I’m just there to catch the magic as it naturally unfolds.
Thanks to my years in both photography and video production, I see your wedding day like a movie. I’m always thinking: wide shots to set the scene, little details you don’t want to forget, and close-ups that catch the real, raw emotions. The goal? A story that feels effortless, honest, and uniquely yours.
I like to think of myself as part photographer, part storyteller, part professional hype man.
Barcelona, Spain – Catalog shoot for Zales. Golden hour over the Gothic Quarter? Unreal.
Santiago, Chile – Another Zales project. Art, architecture, and Andes light.
New York City – Shooting alongside Vera Wang? Still surreal.
Sun Valley, Idaho – Cabela’s campaign magic in the snow and pines.
Mount Hood, Oregon – Sunset. A working dog. A truck. Pure storytelling.
Destin, Florida – My go-to beach escape. Sun, salt, reset.
Palm Springs + San Diego – California’s in my blood. Born there, inspired there.

Each one has a story… and a camera roll full of memories.
