"I knew I could finally take a breath, and Jess would make my dreams a reality."

Jess made my day feel so special, and I have the pictures to prove it! The entire process of selecting a Washington elopement photographer and planning my day was overwhelming. There are so many beautiful places in Washington state and I quickly felt anxious and stressed - until I found Bloom & Wander Co. Jess is so knowledgeable when it comes to scouting the 'perfect' place that met my wildest wishes. She does a phenomenal job with paying attention to the details I envisioned and planned the perfect timeline for the allotted schedule. We initially had a consultation, and I immediately felt a connection and sense of trust. As soon as I made my deposit, I knew I could take a breath, and have the internal confidence that she would make my dreams reality, plan the day hour-by-hour, and deliver high quality photos for the best day of my life that I will always remember. In order to make this happen, she requests information on a few occasions to get to know what you'd want, who you want pictures with, names of attendees, any special demands, what is important for you, and much more. She truly cares about producing the best work she can with your vision in mind- she risked her super cute purple sweater by laying on the dirt covered ground to capture a champagne toast from below, gave me her sweater to sit on so we could take pictures in my wedding dress in the wildflowers, and used different methods/lenses for enhanced creativity. The night before, she even texted me to change the start time of the ceremony because of conditions. This time change made a huge positive difference in the lighting and I am so glad she pays attention to those details! Her personality is so bubbly, fun, and warm. Everyone in attendance at my ceremony had kind words to say about her post-ceremony. I was in complete awe of my photos when they were returned to me. I relived the day over again. I can see the love and happiness radiate in each photo. Her directions to have us laughing, hugging, kissing, and posing were easy to follow and we did not feel awkward. If you are looking for a skilled photographer who doesn't view you as a source of their income, but genuinely is passionate and excited about your special day, producing beautiful photos, and exploding with creativity - schedule Bloom & Wander Co! You will NOT regret it.

"Jess puts her whole heart in her work. It is both seen and felt."

Our Elopement day couldn’t have been more perfect and it started with Jess long before our actual day. During planning, Jess came along for a hike to help us pick the perfect spot. The day of our elopement, she felt like part of our family as she went room to room capturing moments as we got ready. She has such an easy, authentic, and natural way about her. Jess went above and beyond her role as a photographer by helping make sure our wedding party (our teenage kids) made it up the hill and were ready for us to arrive (on our bikes). Jess even made sure our music was playing just before we arrived. She sent us a few pictures right away because she knew how excited we were to see them and when it came time to view all of the pictures, we were blown away!  We felt like we were reliving our wedding day.  Jess is no longer only our Elopement photographer.  She has become our friend.  Jess made us feel that our wedding day was just as important and special to her as it was to us. She puts her heart into her work and not only did we see it, we felt it.

"Search no further - Jess is your person"

Jess is absolutely AMAZING! She is literally everything you would want in a photographer (punctual, attentive, funny, talented, organized, fun, inviting, patient, kind, and so freaking cool!).

My husband and I were connected with Jess after we got engaged, and I am so incredibly happy that we did. We live in Berkeley, and Jess was very accommodating in scheduling a date that she could travel up and that we could take off work. To top it off, Jess suggested that we get drinks beforehand to get to know each other, and this was truly special and really helped my fiancé and I relax. We then ventured to Muir Woods for our photoshoot. My husband and I both insisted that we were not photogenic and would be "awkward" the entire time, but Jess gave us the best prompts to get us smiling and laughing- it was almost like there wasn't a camera pointed at us! We got the photos back so quick, and immediately fell in love with the photos, it was so hard choosing just one for our invitations!

For the wedding, Jess was such a pivotal member of our team. She helped with the timeline, gave us advice in terms of florals and placements, she worked so well with the venue, and kept the day flowing smoothly. Jess validated my feelings when I was panicking, helped make sure details were in order, and kept the day light as we prepared for the first look (which was such a great suggestion). Jess captured so many wonderful moments, and took great shots of the details for us to remember.

We cannot recommend Jess more highly as a photographer and a genuinely kind, thoughtful human. We are very thankful for Jess and the radiant spirit she brings to her work. If you're searching for a photographer, search no further- Jess is your person.

"Like a date designed to remind us of all the things we love."

Jess was amazing to work with, easygoing, and prepared. She made our photo session seem more like a date designed to remind us of all the things we love about each other. The photos were beautiful and looked like images from a fairytale. I would recommend her to anyone who not only wants gorgeous photos, but a fun experience as well!

Scott & Rachel
"Amazing Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience"

My husband and I had an AMAZING once-in-a-lifetime engagement experience in Paris with Jess. We absolutely loved working with Jess. She was so friendly to work with – she made us laugh and feel natural. She has such a unique eye and a wonderful amount of patience which was great, as we had no idea what we were doing! She found tons of great spots, and took such time and detail to get us engagement photos we will treasure forever! Jess even took the time to talk through which photos would be best to order for Save the Dates and for our home, which was incredibly helpful and appreciated. We would HIGHLY recommend Jess to all!

Brendan & Karla
"Our experience with Jess was nothing short of fantastic."

Our experience with Jess was nothing short of fantastic. We were so impressed with her attention to detail and how well she got to know us as a couple during this process. She is incredibly patient, creative, and accommodating. She tailored the shoots so uniquely to us and made us feel right at home in the spotlight. She provided creative and artistic suggestions while being sure to address any needs we had. She's extremely good with communicating everything from ideas to shoot directing. Jess has an innate talent for photography, and that was clear in our images. We would happily book her again and recommend Jess to anyone!

Julie & Noah
"Sweet, Creative, Adventurous"

Jess is easily one of the best photographers I’ve ever worked with. She is so sweet, creative, adventurous, relaxing to be around, and she really knows what she’s doing!! Some of the photos she took are easily my favorite photos of myself, I love them so much!
