Planning perspective
What to consider before reaching out
A strong first conversation is about fit, not just availability. Share your date, approximate guest count, location, and the feeling you want the day to have. Ask what is included, what typically changes the final quote, and what decisions need to be made earliest.
For a photo & video partner, confirm how communication works, who will be present on the day, and how the team handles changes. Pricing was not included in the supplied research, so request a current, itemized proposal directly from the business.

We could not have hoped for a better collaborator. Jesse was warm, enthusiastic, and just the perfect person to have on site for our small wedding. He has a great way of blending in, and did amazing guiding us through the day. His photos are beautiful and we’ve received so many compliments in the moments captured. We highly recommend Jesse and will be using him again when we find ourselves in the area!

If you are looking for the premier photographer in Stowe, look no further than Jesse. In just two short hours, he expertly guided us to five different stunning locations, all within minutes of each other. As it was our first time taking professional photos, my partner and I were initially nervous; however, Jesse’s enthusiasm and clear communication immediately put us at ease. He set clear expectations, provided excellent posing guidance, and delivered breathtaking images that we’ve already framed and shared with family (who couldn't wait to get their hands on copies!). We are already planning to make this an annual tradition and cannot recommend Jesse’s talent enough.

We had an absolutely amazing experience with Jesse! From our engagement session to the big day, he was energetic, professional, and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. He provided great direction and cues that helped us look our best without ever feeling too staged. Leading up to the wedding, he was incredibly responsive and organized, which made the planning process so much smoother. On the day of, he kept everything on track while still allowing us to enjoy every moment. He also brought a second shooter, Jake, who was equally fantastic — together they captured so many special memories from multiple angles. Doing our engagement photos with him beforehand was a huge bonus, ...

Where do I start!!! Jesse is absolutely the BEST!! My husband and I were celebrating our 10th Wedding Anniversary in Stowe and I wanted to do something special so, I planned at last minute a photo shoot. I reached out to 3 different photographers in the area and Jesse was the first to contact me and was very responsive. From our short initial phone meeting to all the little text messages to finalize details Jesse was prompt, flexible and very knowledgeable. We were first timers in Stowe so we took his lead and WE WERE NOT disappointed. We spent 2 hours taking photos in 4 of the most beautiful landscapes I've ever seen all the while having fun. Jesse was so down to earth and personable that...
