VIBRANT FILM WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

Jesslyn photographs from a place of love so your memories look like they were documented by a friend. With a focus on emotional storytelling and iconic portraiture, Jesslyn works with 35mm film, medium format film, and digital photography to document weddings along the East Coast in states such as Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, and more.

It's so common to see the same wedding photos taken over and over. With film, each roll has a mind of its own. The way color and light is translated through film photography isn’t as literal as it is on modern digital cameras. Film photography is subject to surprises and, in my opinion, this is what makes it so fun and magical. Each camera sees the world through its own universe. My hybrid approach of shooting film + digital gives my galleries a mix of feelings and mediums. You will usually spot me with at least three cameras strung across me on wedding days to get all the feels.
