aboutme
I’m Jesse—a visual storyteller that has a soft spot for moments that matter.
Born in Rhode Island, raised in Minnesota, now soaking up the sunshine in San Diego. I’m a quiet observer at heart—more moved by the glances between lovers than grand setups. Instead of crafting stiff poses, I capture interaction, intimacy, and texture through real moments.
Designer brands, polished dinner parties, and high fashion are my thing—but so are music festivals, late night ice cream fixes, and spontaneous hikes in the mountains.
If your favorite moments happen between the planned ones—and you believe that magic lives in the balance between unfiltered and refined—we might just get along.
Let’s create images that feel honest, timeless, and entirely yours.
Welcome to my art space: where story matters more than shutter speed.
This isn’t about gear—it’s about why each image exists. the emotion, the connection, and that split second magic we often miss. I chase moments that are in between the posed smiles and Pinterest ready shots. All those accidental glances, trembling hands, and moments we consider the outtakes? Those are the good stuff that tells your story best.
My love for weddings isn’t just visual—it’s visceral. I preserve the real, raw, beautifully imperfect moments with intention, not perfection—so you can look back and feel exactly what it felt like.
My philosophy: Movement over molding
Photos shouldn’t feel like instructions—they should feel like invitations. Some people are model pros (huge respect), but most of us express ourselves through rhythm, interaction, and subtle chemistry. I believe each couple has their own natural dance, and my job is to gently guide—not stage.
Think of it like this:
He brushes her cheek—how does she respond?
She tells a secret—how does his smile shift?
A stray eyelash on their cheek—what’s the instinctive reaction?
There’s a beat to every little moment, a silent rhythm. My job is to hear it, capture it, and let you relive it. Planned moments don’t always feel honest, which is why I see you as real humans, not just portraits.
So no Ikea instructions, no stiff direction. Just simple prompts, and natural movements. and if you’re unsure, just focus on how much you love each other—I’ll take care of the rest.
