Telling the stories of your love through artful, documentary, and cinematic wedding photography.
Jess Hunter is a Minneapolis and Seattle based luxury film and digital wedding photographer with over a decade of experience, serving clients worldwide.
Jess's unique perspective, shaped by her observational nature and upbringing steeped in horsemanship and art, has a profound impact on her photography. Her approach to capturing images is distinctly influenced by her background and experiences, allowing her to convey a depth of emotion and storytelling in her work that sets her apart. As an observer of environments, she brings a sensitive and introspective eye to her photography, uncovering the often overlooked narratives and subtle details within gatherings and locations. This results in images that are not only visually striking but also resonate with a soulful authenticity that comes from her personal connection to her subjects.

Hannah & Ashten
She is an expert in the field of photography and whatever stress I had at the start of the day went away completely. This was my husband and my first shoot together and we didn't know quite know what to expect, but instead of feeling awkward, we felt so incredibly comfortable being ourselves around Jess and letting her do her job. She guided us without being commanding and taking away our authenticity, which were captured beautifully in the pictures. When I got our pictures back I instantly started crying; they were beyond what I ever could have imagined. Who knew you could have so much variety with just pictures of you and your significant other. There were moments of tears, laughter, silence, and so much joyful energy and you can see each emotion in the pictures; and each one tells a different story. They took me right back to that day and I knew I had made the best decision choosing Jess as our photographer.
Karla & Philip
... the memories she captured instantly became one of the most treasured things in my life. I finally had the chance to look through EVERY single perfect and imperfect photo and feel comfortable saying that if our home caught fire, it would be one of the only things I would need to save. Yes, our portraits against a mountainous backdrop are epic and artistically stunning.. but the raw, emotional moments she captured.. the tears rolling down my mother's face, my grandmother's delicate and aged hands, my MIL's emotions during her last moment of solitude with her son, my hands locked with my best friend's during prayer, and our family praying, worshipping, laughing and crying are my most beloved memories of all. I know that we will look back on these photos 50 years down the road and that there will be tears in our eyes looking back at the beautiful faces of our loved ones that might not be on earth with us any longer and remembering the day that started the rest of our lives together.
My mission is to capture artful and elevated imagery for soulful couples — images rooted in empathy and distinction to be passed on for generations to come.
Imagery on film & digital; rooted in art & nostalgia, made for you and yours.
Your images, both film and digital will be available to you via a custom online portal complete with a beautiful slideshow. I work alongside you to carefully select heirloom keepsakes to last generations to come. From albums to prints, my goal is for your images to be passed down, and last a lifetime.
Working with a limited number of clients a year allows for a personal experience. I believe in kind-hearted communication, openness with expression, and approachability with your vision and values. This means getting to know my clients on a personal level and why it's so important to me that we are a good fit. You deserve nothing less.
Your wedding weekend is custom tailored — and your photography experience should be, too. I get to know you and your needs first. Then, based on what you share with me, I craft a unique and custom proposal for you to ensure nothing is missed.
