THE ARTIST

Jessie Mae

I’m Jessie Mae, a wedding photographer serving couples throughout Minneapolis, Minnesota and Western Wisconsin

As your Minneapolis 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.

Attention to Detail

Your wedding is the beginning of your marriage story and every detail that matters to you matters to me.

People-First

Never been in front of the camera before? I know what that's like, and I know it's not always the most comfortable thing. Which is why I guide you when needed to help you feel totally at ease.

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!!
