Every gallery includes thoughtful extras that make your memories feel alive and full of movement.
Creative Touches: digital Film, GIFs & Unique details
Your gallery is created with intention - highlighting the real, unposed, in-between moments that matter most.
Story-Driven, Emotional Imagery
You don’t need to be “good” at photos. With gentle guidance and natural prompts, I help you feel genuinely comfortable so the moments stay real.
Comfort-First Direction & Warm Energy
Whether the schedule shifts or the weather changes, I stay patient, calm, and steady. My goal is to make your day feel peaceful, not pressured.
Calm, Flexible, Go-With-the-Flow Presence
Every wedding day flows differently. I help you plan a photo-friendly timeline that keeps the day smooth, relaxed, and true to you.
Personalized Support & Timeline Guidance
From the moment you inquire, I guide you with easy communication, simple steps, and support you can actually feel. You’ll always know what’s next.
Stress-Free Planning & Clear Communication
What you can expect:
photographs that feel like reading a favorite book!
Emotional, warm and worth re-reading!
I’m a total book lover! Especially the kind where magic meets romance, characters are messy and real, and the story sticks with you long after the last page. That’s exactly how I approach photography. Every couple I work with gets to be the main character of their own love story with all the soft, silly, emotional, in-between moments that make it theirs.
You don’t need to be models. You don’t need a picture-perfect timeline.
You just need to be yourselves because that’s enough. Always.
Whether you’re eloping on beach at sunrise or dancing barefoot at sunset, I’m here to capture the kind of moments you’ll want to relive again and again just like rereading your favorite love story.
And just like in my favorite books, I believe the best parts of your story aren’t the perfect ones, they’re the real ones.

I highly recommend Jy for any occasion! We booked with her for our wedding, and we are so grateful we did. She had the whole process easy we were able to meet and make sure she knew our vision and what we wanted even leading up to the day there was open communication. On the wedding day her and maya felt like family and the pictures that they captured are so beautiful. We could not have asked for anyone better to have captured our perfect day!

We’re so lucky to have had Jynessa as our wedding photographer! I recommend getting your engagement photos done with her if you’re looking to book her for your wedding. It made the process a lot smoother on the wedding day since she already knew us. If you don’t feel comfortable in front of the camera like us, dont worry- she’ll direct you and has a great eye. Not only is she a great photographer but she’s very personable, easy going and someone you want to have around on a stressful day like your wedding. We were so happy with our engagement and wedding gallery and would 100% book her again in the future
"She’s very personable, easy going and someone you want to have around on a stressful day."

“Jynessa was INCREDIBLE!! We've had other photoshoots done before but she was by far the best not only in outcome but also in directing us on how to pose and act natural. She's also extremely personable and makes the whole experience positive and nerve reducing. The photos are both 'this is exactly what I was envisioning' and 'capturing looks and moments of our love and personalities'. 11/10!!.”

Jy was such a lovely person to work with! She is very flexible and goes with the flow of things. She has sunny and bright personality, so it was super easy to connect with her and feel comfortable when taking pictures. Her photos of my wedding are AMAZING to say the least, I could not have asked for better pictures!
“It was super easy to connect with her and feel comfortable when taking pictures.”
- Angel C.
Jy is absolutely amazing at what she does!! She is so kind and sweet and exceeded our expectations for our wedding. She was thorough and efficient but wasn’t pushy at all like I’ve known some photographers to be. She captured our day so perfectly and I cannot recommend her enough!"
“She captured our day perfectly.”
