Jessica Hickerson Photography

Let me start by saying that if you are considering Jessica as your wedding photographer, stop thinking and just do it. It will be one of the best decisions you make for your wedding day. You will be swooning over your photos for months!
I was on a mission searching for a photographer a few short months prior to our elopement (which turned into an intimate wedding). I finally narrowed it down to a handful when I posted a photo on Instagram of our save the dates with a few hashtags. Jessica, found my hashtag and contacted me asking if I had found a photographer. I absolutely LOVED her work but more importantly, I feel in love with the passion Jessica displayed for her craft and she genuinely wanted to know our love story. After messaging each other after a few hours we booked her and made our payment the next day. There was no doubt in my mind that we were making the right decision in booking her.
My husband and I would definitely say we’re awkward in front of the camera. We felt so comfortable with Jessica directing us. We laughed a lot and often times we forgot that she was there photographing us. The photos that she captured of our wedding overlooking the ocean in Big Sur are absolutely spectacular. She was really able to capture the day to help us share with our family and friends that weren’t able to make it. We told her that we wanted to tell the story of our wedding and she blew us away. It has been a month and I still laugh/​cry/​get goosebumps when I look at our photos.
Jessica also delivered our photos VERY quickly. We got a sneak peek within 24 hours with about 2 dozen photos (maybe more) and our final edited photos came in about 10 days after our wedding.
Jessica was a pleasure to work with and although we live in Arizona, we will be making trips to California for our family photos because she’s just that good!

Hello, my name is Sam and Jessica photographed my wedding last August 2014. Not only is she extremely talented but she is also very kind hearted, a great worker and does everything in her power to give you the greatest experience possible. My wife found her site while searching around for many different photographers and when she found jessicas site she immediately called me and told me she finally found one she liked. Her style of photography is absolutely wonderful and looks extremely natural, not one of our photos looked awkward or out of place, she has a wonderful eye. She came to our house (thats where we had the wedding) before the wedding and walked with us and talked about how we envisioned it and how she was going to give us that. Both my wife and I fell in love with her and HIGHLY recommend her to anyone and everyone. Also once again she may be the sweetest person ever and she keeps her cool throughout anything that may arise.

I shot my senior pictures at the beach with Jessica and it was an awesome experience! Jessica is an amazing photographer and really makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. The pictures turned out so so great and I would highly recommend hiring her for your photos!

What can I say about Jessica? Only that she’s truly one of the most talented people I know. She photographed our wedding at the end of July and being from a design background, the aesthetic and style of my photos were extremely important to me. I saw her ad on Facebook randomly and went to her website to check out her portfolio and her pricing. Both were exactly what I was looking for. I got my pictures last weekend (really fast!) and I am blown away. Several people have communicated that they have become emotional looking at the photos! The way she can capture light gives me chills. It’s truly amazing.
Not only is she crazy talented, but she is a blast to work with. My husband was extremely nervous that our engagement photos would looked staged and cheesy, but as soon as we met her she put our mind at ease. She was so friendly and when she needed to, she would lock into professional mode and direct us (we had no idea what to do). I appreciated that we could connect with her and we could also give her the reigns. She knows what she is doing; Jessica is such a young talent who will one day have a waiting list years long!
Getting to know her throughout this wedding has been a pure joy. I am only sad that it’s over and I can no longer share the details of my upcoming nuptials with her. Hire this girl. She will leave you with amazing photos of your special day and the beginning of a friendship that I am hoping to continue as we have children and family photos.

We found Jessica online by sheer chance. My husband and I were initially a little hesitant booking at first because we wouldn’t be able to meet her in person (she was out of town). But after a Skype chat and many emails back and forth, we felt comfortable moving forward with her and I’m SO glad we did!
On the wedding day, Jessica was sweet, courteous, professional, efficient and an excellent director. She really took command in a hectic situation. To add to the chaos, we had a lot of family members who spoke little to no English, but she and second shooter Jaqueline handled themselves so well under pressure and delivered some great photos!
My husband and I think that hiring Jessica for our wedding day was one of THE best decisions we made! We are so blessed by her work. She is a young and talented photographer, and I would recommend booking her while you still can!

I’m the dude from the LA wedding picture she has up there, and I have to say, hire these gals immediately.
Jessica, and her assistant Andrea, were absolutely perfect. They’re nice, fun, they think artistically, and they know how to compose a shot worth a damn.
If you want the memories of your special event to look like they belong in a magazine spread instead of a crappy prom album, HIRE JESSICA.
