Sparrow & Gold Photography

Not to mention is a artist with photos. Our engagement photos were the first time we were ever in front of a professional lens and we felt comfortable and as if we were among a friend. Jess is sweet and takes genuine interest in your vision and I have no regrets. I recommend Sparrow and Gold over and over. We are so blessed to have found her.

. When we got the pictures, I about cried. They were so beautiful and you could see the love between me and my SO. They didn’t look staged at all and they really captured who we are. I think I could convince him to get pictures done again if it was with Jess because she made the whole time enjoyable.

ound her smiling. This combined with her incredible eye and love of light has made for some of my favorite photos. Though Jess has photographed me plenty of times, I was blown away by our session in mid-day sun at White Sands. Not every photographer can take on different lighting situations, but Jess handled it like a breeze. From start to finish, Jess is a dream to work with and I continue to recommend her until I’m blue in the face!

ound Jess here we knew she'd be the perfect fit. Jess was seamless in her work, making magic happen even though bad weather made the day a little more chaotic than anyone thought it'd be. Not to mention, her sweet disposition was refreshing to my husband and I throughout the day. Our photos are like something out of a dream and we still get giddy looking at them!

made it a fun experience for everyone. Not to mention, our photos came out absolutely perfect! Highly recommend her if you're looking for someone who is great to work with and beautifully captures the best day of your life.

I found her. Everybody compliments how amazing the pictures came out. She helps make sure you’re having fun and that you capture that special moment with everyone special there on your great day. I am so happy we chose Jessica because the pictures are the one thing you’ll have to go back and remember! Thankfully I got a great photographer that took some AWESOME ones! I would greatly recommend her to anybody. Can’t wait til one of my sisters gets married so we ask her to take their pictures too!

d you can totally tell she loves what she does!

made it easy for me to find her and see her work. She was also easy to find through Google, WeddingWire, and theKnot. She is one of the few photographers in the area who has a strong online presence which made me feel more confident and comfortable booking her. She was easy to communicate with through Facebook , email, and her website. Her site was also easy for me to navigate. I was drawn to TJ + Natalie’s and Rob + Lindsay’s portrait sessions on her website. My best friend and I were shocked when we saw Rob+Lindsay’s portraits were taken in memorial park because we’ve been there so many times and it never looked as magical in person as their portraits appeared. If you haven’t seen them, you need to. Go. Go enjoy the colors and the magic, then come back to my review. What made me book her was how dynamic her angles and editing are. It doesn’t look Pinterest perfect, it sets the standard. All of her clients look like they have real and perfect skin. They aren’t overly edited. They just look like they’re having the best aesthetic day of their life. Her editing truly matches her client personalities and is cohesive. Her clients also have varying skin tones and she edits them well. She also gives a 24 hour sneak peek so you can get instant gratification or get to work on your wedding website. My friends had never had a professional portraits taken and were looking for photos they could use for their save the dates and wedding slideshow. She was very accomodating and patient with our requests such as having pictures sitting in trees and including their dog in some of the photos. She was also very patient and encouraging while coaching them and coaxing them out of their very nervous shells. She always made suggestions that were natural to them. She’s the best! TL;DR She has a strong online presence and is easy to communicate with via her email, social media, and easily navigable website. She has clients of varying skin tones and understands how to maintain the integrity of skin color and texture. She has an eye for angles and can make any location look magical and like it was made for you. She is great at executing the goal. She has a patient, accommodating, decisive, and creative personality. If you are uncomfortable in front of a camera, she is a great coach and hype woman. She gives you a 24 hour sneak peak to tide you over until you get your gallery. You NEED to hire her.

hings ran smoothly. And you bet she stayed on top of everything and everyone making sure we did not deviate from the plan! She is so fun to work with and makes the experience so enjoyable, you forget you are being photographed at times. Always super punctual and courteous. Her attention to detail is exceptional, which is a reflection of her work, for us that's what set her aside from other photographers. And her bubbly and cheerful personality is just the cherry on top! We were so blessed to have been able to have her captured the most important day of our lives. Luv ya Jess!!!!!

venue when she said she would. There were traffic delays that messed up a lot of guest arrivals but Jess and her helper handled it AMAZINGLY. I hired Jess plus an extra photographer, that way someone would be able to get pictures with me and bridal party in the bridal suite and someone would be able to tackle guests arriving and grooms party. It felt like I had hired a friend, everyone was on the same page, and I’m sure we all had sore tummies from laughing so much. It was such a wonderful experience. Like when we were confused on how to handle the cake cutting, they both stepped up and helped us, haha! I was so glad we had extra food plates to serve because I was not and am still not able to express how grateful I feel for her and her team being able to capture the most beautiful moments on our special day. Thank you so so much, Jess, from the bottom of my heart!

fessionalism is out of this world! I highly recommend Jessica!!! You will not be disappointed!!

t shows in her work. You can’t go wrong using her for your photos!

ith a lost and Jess was great enough to offer her services as a way to distract us and it absolutely worked! She had a way of making the whole experience so much fun and capturing my husband and I in a way that I hadn’t seen before. We are now pregnant and can’t wait to ask her to take our little girl’s first pictures! You will not regret going with Jess. Her services aren’t so great just because she knows how to capture your sweetest moments and editing them, but because her easy going personality adds to the experience and makes it unforgettable💖

pictures turned out better than I could have ever asked or hoped for. I can't wait to see how our wedding photos turn out this coming November!

ruly shows within her work. I HIGHLY recommend Jessica!

s was a gem to work with. She made us feel so comfortable and was even able to get our two dogs to pose like professional models. Looking forward to another session with her next year!

is purely her character & personality. Gathering up two sides of family in a large yard can be crazy and would easily be considered stressful - but Jess was so calm and collected it was easy to find myself calmer because of her presence. She is definately the most patient & easy-going photographer I have ever encountered. She was thorough to be sure that every detail we wanted was captured exactly how we wanted. She was sure to throw her own artistic and whimsical twist in there as well, making our collection of photos one we will cherish a lifetime. For our engagement session I told her how awkward of a couple we were and she made it so fun & enjoyable. We both we stunned to see that so much time had passed because it seemed like we had only just got there. She makes the photos memorable when you are taking them so it does not just seem like a task to get done. She braves it all - we made her trek up a huge hill, into the woods, through some poision ivy in adorable heeled booties and all she could say is "I just love my job." If this doesn't convince you that using Jess is a nobrainer& great investment, look at her photos. How many people can use such a wide variety of people & places and naturally edit them so that they still look like themselves, just at their most beautiful. Those people are geniunely laughing and smiling. Imagine looking at your photos and remembering what you were lauging at and smiling about! That is what I will truly cherish! I am in awe of my photos and still smile ear to ear looking at my engagement photos from 8 months ago remembering how happy it makes me! I will gawk over our wedding photos the rest of our lives thanks to Jess.

er had the pleasure of hiring! Our photos were STUNNING. Not only that, but she was so patient and willing to work with us as we had many ideas and special requests for our photoshoot. She was completely open and happy to accommodate anything we wanted, helped us feel very comfortable in front of the camera. She was also very prompt in editing and returning our beautiful photos, which we will treasure for a lifetime! Hiring her to capture your special moments will be a decision you won't regret. We can't thank her enough!

agement photos and wedding photos. Not only is she incredibly talent behind the lense, she is also one of the best people you will ever meet. She made our day so special to look back on. I wouldn’t have gone with anyone else! Look no further, seriously!
