Your wedding photos are the first heirloom you'll make together. You want remember the beginning of your marriage in a meaningful way. Thoughtfully documented in a lightly guided way.

THE ARTIST
Jessie Mae
I’m Jessie Mae, a Wisconsin wedding photographer serving couples throughout Wisconsin, Minnesota, and the Midwest.
As your Wisconsin wedding photographer, I’m here to do more than capture the day. I’m here to guide when needed, be a steady presence when things feel overwhelming, and help you be in the moment.
Most of my couples tell me they don't know what to do in their photos or that they just want to feel unrushed.
When you work with me, you don’t have to figure everything out on your own.

It’s not often that I see a photographer with the amount of passion that Jess has. She’s quick with her communication and is eager to bring your ideas to life. I still find myself coming to tears when I look at my wedding photos, she captured our day so beautifully and authentically. We are so grateful for Jess and the careful attention to detail that she put into our day.

Trina & Andrew
Jessie not only accepted us right away, but she helped guide us through the process and even on our wedding day gave great insight on ways to pose and had amazing ideas to share. She was very prompt on all of her communication, and edited all photos right away! She is amazing and I would highly recommend her to anyone!
“Jessie was a life saver when it came to our wedding!”
Katelyn & John
Jessie did our engagement and wedding photos for us. She did such a wonderful job with not only handling a big family photo at my wedding but with also being very attentive to my needs as the bride. My wedding day was only the second time we had met Jessie in person but it felt like a very good friend was taking the photos for us. She is all around an amazing photographer and person!!
