I Family - Minnesota Portrait & Wedding Photographer

This is the third time I've made the trip to MPLS to photograph this family. I've really enjoyed documenting their children and their life together! The weather made this session a little tricky. Minutes after we finished shooting the family shots (with the intention of hitting one more location), it downpoured, and hailed, and then a tornado went through their area. Hopefully, we have nicer weather conditions when we meet up this fall!

Steve & Christine - Thanks so much for having us up ... and for the delicious birthday cake! :) Can't wait to see you all again!

xx, jessica

Family | Wisconsin Portrait & Wedding Photographer

Editing this family session made me miss the beautiful sunlight we had the night of this session. Because of our crazy spring weather, we had to reschedule this session a couple of times. Thankfully, it worked out when it did ... on a perfect night.

E/B family: it was a pleasure to hang out with you and get to know you better. Your kind words at the end of the night were so so so appreciated and taken to heart (and also passed on to the person who needed to hear them most). {{hugs}}







Make sure to drop by the new Jessica Sands Photography website, and become a fan of JSP on Facebook!

Remember: hug those you LOVE today!

Koty & Gretchen - Wedding | Wisconsin Wedding & Portrait Photographer

I was thrilled when Gretchen & Koty told me their wedding would have a country-western theme! {Check out their e-session here.} I love it when a couple puts their own touch on their wedding day; it's fun to anticipate special surprises. From cowboy boots to a barbed wire cake (coming in a later post), the country theme was covered!

Thanks to Amanda Crowe for assisting me! Check out her website here.

This is the first installment of Gretchen & Koty's wedding. More to come, lots more to come!



Gretchen's boots. Adorable, right? I need a pair!

I found Koty outside just before the ceremony was to start. I loved the way he was holding the program and the way it had been folded. You know me, I adore hand shots. :)

Sean & Emily - Wedding | Wisconsin Wedding & Portrait Photographer

Saturday, May 7, 2011
La Crosse, Wis.
Mary Mother of the Church 
Myron Hixon EcoPark
Flowers: Family Tree Floral, West Salem
Caterers: Premier Catering

The weather couldn't have been more perfect for Sean & Emily's La Crosse wedding! Emily and I used to work in the newspaper industry together and have stayed in touch despite our career paths going in opposite directions. I was honored when she asked me to photograph their wedding; I had a blast and loved getting to know all the people who mean so much to them! 

xxoo - Jessica


Emily changed into these shoes for the reception. Love little details like this ... keep watching the blog for the bride who busted out a sweet pair of cowboy boots for her wedding!
