Hey, I’m Jacque! I’m a big fan of raw, messy, beautiful moments—the kind that make your heart skip and your eyes light up. With a background in modeling and a knack for helping people feel like their best, most authentic selves, I capture the real stuff: the belly laughs, the quiet glances, and everything in between. If you’re looking for photos that feel like home—natural, honest, and a little wild—I’m your girl. Let’s make some magic together!

About Me
Jacque Shipman: Northern California Photographer
My photography approach.
My approach to wedding photography is a balance of gentle guidance and unobtrusive observation, allowing moments to unfold naturally. Your day won’t feel like a staged photoshoot, but you’ll still walk away with a perfect mix of beautifully posed portraits and genuine candid moments. With 7 years of experience, I’ve developed a keen intuition for anticipating those meaningful, fleeting moments, capturing them in a way that lets you stay fully present in your celebration.
For me, documentary photography isn’t about staying on the sidelines, quietly observing from a distance. Instead, I believe in diving right into the heart of your wedding day, connecting with the people who matter most to you. I thrive on building relationships with your bridal party, family, and friends, making sure I capture the true essence of each moment. There's something truly magical about witnessing all these different stories intertwining, creating one unforgettable celebration.
"The beauty of life is not in hiding behind the lens but in sharing the moments that make it extraordinary."
It's so much more than just how your photographer edits and takes photos.

It's more than just pictures for me. It's about creating a lifestyle and vision that reflects not just my clients, but my own unique perspective.
I'm the right fit for people who share my love for rugged landscapes, the western lifestyle, and authentic, down-to-earth experiences.
My journey into photography started with a mustard seed of inspiration—a camera gifted by a friend, who believed in my creative side. From those early days of snapping shots of models, I found a passion for storytelling that grew into the business I love today. Now, capturing such beautiful raw, authentic moments in the place I call home, fills my soul like nothing else.
Beyond the camera, my heart belongs to my horses, dogs, and chickens (thanks, Mom, for the obsession!)—my little slice of life that keeps me grounded. I’m a proud “crazy animal lady” who finds joy in the simple things: a Sunday drive with a country song blasting, discovering new places with my boyfriend Marc, or indulging in sushi!
Photography isn’t just my job—it’s a part of who I am. Whether it’s the quiet emotion of a wedding day or the quiet thrill of an elopement outdoors, I’m here to tell stories that feel as genuine as the people living them.
