YOUR OUTDOOR WEDDING & ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER
Meet Jessica
Hi there! I’m a wedding and elopement photographer who loves the outdoors as much as you! I’ve been photographing nature-loving people for 10+ years. I love exploring with couples, learning their stories, and capturing authentic images of them in gorgeous surroundings. I am based out of Belleville, Ontario and travel province-wide. It is with mixed-emotion that 2024 is my last season photographing weddings & elopements. It has been an amazing 12 seasons!

Experiences Matter
Planning a wedding is stressful enough – when the day arrives, you want to soak in and enjoy your celebration! Stiff, cookie-cutter photographs can make your day feel like a non-stop photo session. You deserve to have a relaxed wedding day so you can be your authentic selves. Your photographs should be an honest visual representation of the events, location and emotions of your day that will help you relive your memories for years to come.
If you are an outdoorsy, laid-back couple choosing to get married outside, make sure your photos should show off your love of the outdoors as well as your love for each other!
Experiences matter and jals photography works to enhance your experience and capture your Ontario outdoor wedding or elopement as it happened. My photography style is unobtrusive and authentic. Plan your dream outdoor wedding with a natural and stress-free photography experience.
Why choose jals photography?
Your wedding or elopement photographer spends most of the day with you, so it’s important that it’s a great fit! Here are a few things that set jals photography apart from other photographers:
Moment-driven
Outdoor focused
Personal & Relaxed
Experienced
My PHILOSOPHY
“When photographing couples, I encourage them to authentically celebrate all of the elements of their love story. To embrace their love of each other, their love for the outdoors and their connections with loved ones.”
The most important part of your wedding day is the lived experience. You don’t want your day to feel like an 8 hour photo shoot! Your photographer should compliment your day and capture moments, not take away from them.
The outdoors can be unpredictable, and that’s part of what adds to its beauty. You want a photographer who can roll with the environment and still provide you with stellar images in all outdoor conditions – rain, snow, bright sun at noon, hail, wind storms, sunset, night time, and more!
There is no “one size fits all” in photography. Your images should look like YOU with no “cookie cutter” posing. Your photo session should be personalized to fit who you are as a couple. With bright, true-to life colour editing, your photographs should look just the way you remember the moment.
