A photographer who lets you be completely yourself while highlighting your unique connection.
A photographer who you both truly laugh with and is able to get you in touch with your soft side.
A photographer who shares your lifestyle, morals, and values, and is encouraging.
A photographer who can share a real life friendship with you, and not be awkwardly quiet because you spend all day with them.
What you're after:
Hearing your story, closely listening to you about what is most important in your world, and finding a way to relate with you is actually the thing that brings me the most joy. I want to determine that we are the best fit first, book your date on my calendar, keep up communication leading to your wedding (bff style texting encouraged,) research your wedding venue to build a creative vision, send you my digital guide (that includes tips to help you feel your most comfy.) Then I diligently prepare, grab my gear, and show up on location (always early, I want to add.)
Having a sincere connection with you is primary.
technically, Yes, I'm providing a service but...
I'm here to be ole reliable.
Good news! You've come to the right person.
have as much love and trust in your photographer as you do your fiance.
What if you could…
oh howdy, nice to meet you!
You know that moment of excitement in your belly but the silence in your heart after you were proposed to? It's a moment you try to tell yourself to savor, and you know how absolutely huge this next phase is but than... you jump, two feet in, and joy overrides your whole soul.
That is the same feeling I get when I pick up my camera and open the doors to greet you the morning of your wedding day. A rush, a silence, a pinch me moment, a jump, and suddenly the joy takes over.
I am so passionate for my art, but I'm even more passionate about showcasing a story, making my clients feel beautiful through my photos, and seeing you make this promise in front of God.
Heya,
I’m Jacque!
I’ve got a personal, but simple experience you need.
Why I’m not like the rest
I believe strongly in a wedding day experience that you should enjoy, and although photos are important, being able to truly enjoy the things you paid for are equally as important so I only share real and honest feedback + timelines for my clients.
I have a background in pageants, and modeling. meaning I'm a true girls girl and know what looks good. Quick fix Makeup and hair touch-ups if needed? Sure thing. I've got your back! Don't fear any wedding day tears!
I am extremely reliable, deliver what I promise, and ensure your photos are always on time. Plus, I know how excited you are, so sneak peeks within 72 hours to help you wait for the rest of your images!
I will capture the way he looks at you when you aren't looking, prepare with some prompts to encourage real moments to unfold, and make you feel like you've done this your entire life.
I don't blast your email with more stuff to add to your never ending wedding checklist, and reach out during milestones in your journey instead.
I will take my time getting to know your story and study your relationship through other images you've taken so I can deliver magic.
Why should you invest in me?
YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING...
With my modeling background, I have been on both sides of the camera, I really place emphasis on knowing correct composition AND pretty images but also how to really make you feel and believe that you ARE the most beautiful human in the room. I strive for a connection and honest friendship with you, to know you and your story and tell it correctly. At the end of a hard day, I want to love and enjoy my job more than anything and I do it through connection and art. I always come prepared for life's most unpredictable things, backup cameras, backup gear, a pretty hanger in case you forgot one, deodorant, tampons, safety pins, advil, you name it. I also have a special skill in hair and makeup and have stepped in for brides in emergency situations, I'm here to save the day GOD FORBID... and I don't know about you but it's always nice to know you've got a little insurance for your biggest day. Not to mention I'll deliver a gallery of gorgeous magazine worthy images.
I seriously can't get enough of my clients!
The same is possible for your wedding day, too!
My pricing and packages are pretty straightforward and easy, and completely customizable. Here's how it works; pick the package that you feel is the right fit, choose any optional add-ons to make it custom to you and your partner, and that's it. Every package includes base or standard deliverables but if you are looking for something it doesn't have, just add it on! If you're looking for something I haven't listed, just reach out and I'd be more than happy to customize it further for you!
"It was so nice finding a photographer that offered custom pricing, that way I could make my day everything I wanetd."
— Jayme and Cody
I cannot recommend Jacque enough. Usually when you’re meeting a stranger for the first time and she’s taking pictures of you, it seems a bit awkward, but jacque made sure it wasn’t. When I couldn’t find lashes in my little rural town, Jacque went out of her way to go get some, bring them back & put them on for me! Not to mention helping me pick everything days prior. she truly revolves around making you comfortable and is the literal BEST hype woman. she even made my husband come out of his shell and be himself. She loved on our hyper active weenie dogs & gave us prompts to talk about that gave us the opportunity to be in our element & her take candid photos. over all, i just love this gal, not only for the magical photographer she is, but as the amazingly kind hearted human she’s proven to be.
" She truly revolves around making you feel comfortable. "
— Britta and Wyatt
Jacque has shot our wedding and honestly aside from the perfect photos we have gotten in return she was so helpful in keeping the day on track, while being an integral piece of keeping the day lighthearted and fun. On our wedding day she also had one of her associates, Jess with her who was also such a fun, and talented addition to the day and shots. Both Jacque and Jess helped keep us on track while also reading the energy and emotion and encouraging a pivot and break when needed (you’ll always underestimate the emotion and energy of a wedding day as we came to find out- which led to more breaks than planned, but always got us back on track and caught up!)
We are so excited to get the remainder of our photos back from our big day but already know they will be nothing short of perfection just like our sneak peak and previous sessions have been. We are so lucky to be able to say we have gained a friend along with a spectacular photographer through this journey and already look forward to her photographing more of our milestones in the future.
"We have gained a friend along with a spectacular photographer through this journey."

The Process
AN OVERVIEW OF
Frequently Asked Questions
I love nothing more than traveling and yes I do! I am currently based out of Redding, CA. I travel via car, plane, train, boat, or whatever I have to, to capture your most perfect day! Stay in touch on socials to find my travel schedule and snag a spot in epic locations while I'm already there with no travel fees!
Actually no, I can't. My job as your photographer if chosen is to capture the day as it happened and as authentically as possible, as this aligns with me. My personal style does not involve editing your beautiful natural curves or face, adding in people that weren't actually there, swapping peoples hands or faces digitally because they were holding their cell phone instead of being present, removing wrinkles from satin dresses or cutting out someone's boyfriend. These are things that need to be thought of in detail before your photographer comes to photograph your day. I will however edit small skin blemishes, veins, moles, scars, or very small tattoos that are "unsightly" to you upon request, make you feel more bronzed (per my natural edits,) and will remove obnoxious things in the background I.E. Trash cans or things like that. The goal ultimately is to make these images perfect without crazy retouching.
Rest assured that I have a vision to execute with everyone in front of my camera, and the more trust you place in me, the more incredible your images will be. I tend to lay pretty low, leaving space as naturally available to produce silence for connection. With a massive modeling and pageant background, I know the images you want to see, and pay special attention to your "good side," all while making you feel comfortable through genuine conversation with me and your partner. I occasionally have games or prompts to encourage laughter or conversation, but ultimately your time with me will always feel like you're starring in your favorite country music video and I direct it just the same. You'll leave feeling confident in the images we got, and I promise, you can have faith that if something doesn't look good, I will direct you differently. My clients are never required to stay in a pose that I put them in, if it's uncomfy, I always say to move to where you're comfy. Some brief encouragement: you being the natural you is what is most beautiful and I really try to magnify that in my images.
