We're Jessy & Brandon

So hang tight, but until then, here are some film snaps from our last trip in Costa Rica.

Pura Vida.

Off to Newfoundland today to photograph a special day tomorrow for two beauties I can't wait to finally meet and kiss, good ol' Italian style. I miss doing that haha.

Ps. And honestly, I'm stoked for Newfoundland, obviously. But I'm even more stoked to be with the whole crew that's going. @blushandbowties @mandsmorris @huntandgatherfloral

Checking into the universe, thanks for bringing all of these people into my life. Cheerio.

Somewhere in the city, on a sunday with these two.

Words don't do it justice, I'm grateful for these moments, these people and these celebrations.

One tip I'll share for future couples, Andreia and Fil had to adapt, and quickly. They did it with such grace (and of course a whole lot of stress building up to) but they ENJOYED their day. They partied their brains out. We made bits of time for photos in between but the best part was seeing them enjoy it all.

Plan for moments, don't plan for photos. What do I mean by that, well you'll have to message us and let's get planning your perfect day.

Always a good time, especially when you throw a drumstick in the mix.

We will never take for granted the intimacy, the joy, the pain, the tears, the nerves, the trust, the smiles, the speeches, the condolences, the sneaky bum squeezes, the winks, the 'chat about cameras,' the anxiety, the sounds, the smells, the energy of what makes a wedding perfect. Because perfection is not the day itself, it's the ability to be present in those moments that give you life.

Having a moment over here. To our couples, each and every one of you. Thank YOU. We love you, we work hard for you, we care for you and above all, we're stoked for you, because you found your partner in life. If I could have a super power it would be to give the feeling of love, security and happiness that I feel in my relationship with Brandon. Okay, that's enough caption to last a week haha. Happy Tuesday.

The most perfect day celebrating Weston's parents.

The most perfect day celebrating Weston's parents.

This little moment took my breath away, when he ran up to his parents during their first kiss as husband and wife. I mean, come on, this is what it's all about.

Thank you Lisa and Darren for inviting me to photograph your special day. Cannot wait to share so many damn beautiful moments. Ps. My dad officiated their ceremony 😭

Ahhhhh, holy shit Iceland is booked. Not only wa

Ahhhhh, holy shit Iceland is booked.

Not only was it a huge goal to photograph a wedding there (or just travel there in general!) But we get to travel with the two sweetest souls planning the most incredible celebration. We are so excited to capture your love Shay & Mike, and capture you among the most magical landscape in the world.

Hello 2022, you're already off to an incredible start and for that, we are grateful to the universe. Ebbs and flows baby. Right now, we are flowing and embracing every ounce of it 🖤

Irina & Brett did it so right. They stole quiet moments away in the middle of the best damn day. They laughed their asses off and were spoiled by their friends and family. Their beautiful pups bear & river carried in their rings and well the rest is history.

Brandon and I are left speechless that this is what we do 'for a Living'. Yes we work on weekends and miss out on some stuff, but for one day, we're apart of other families and memories that seriously rejuvenate our souls. So much love for you guys. Thank you for including us in your special day. It was memorable as f*cK.

A snapshot captured on analog. Nothing more timele

A snapshot captured on analog. Nothing more timeless or perfect. What I love about Brandon's shots.... He shoots so in the moment. And by moment, I mean...

"Okay look at me"... "Now stand still"... then he measures the light... And then measures the light again... Composes the shot.. removes the slider... Gets the focus.. looks up and smiles... Then he shoots. And says "thanks that was great"

As a digital shooter. I overshoot the crap out of everything while trying to maintain a very cool and natural atmosphere. I don't want people to feel like their posing and I want things to happen organically. But when you're shooting on film and you only have 12 shots in the roll.. well there's no fucking around.

Emma & Matt, in all their bridal glory.

And just like that, they're married.

It wasn't what they envisioned for their wedding, and everything didn't go exactly as planned. But I gotta say they rallied and made it one hell of a day. To all of you out there constantly having to pivot, keep it up. You are incredible. And yes, you deserve that extra glass of wine.

Congrats j & j, we had a blast capturing your backyard wedding.

Love drenched in romance and grain. Wandering off

Love drenched in romance and grain. Wandering off into an alleyway in between dinner was such a highlight. I've never seen two more smitten or in awe of one another.
