Wellfleet Wedding Photographer

creating authentic images takes Experience.

Enough experience to know the importance of getting to know you and your vision
before the camera comes out.
Enough experience to keep your images safe through the entire process.
Enough of an edge to rearrange schedules, furniture, and people until your goals are met.




We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Jessica. From our engagement shoot in the fall to our wedding day, she was such a joy to work with. She was warm, professional, and full of helpful tips that made the day feel effortless.

Our wedding photos are absolutely stunning. Some of our favorites include my dad being lifted on the dance floor. Every single photo is filled with so much life and emotion. It truly feels like Jessica captured the magic of the day.

We’re blown away by the care and attention she put into every shot, as well as the thoughtfulness in curating and even including a few extra shots. These photos are something we’ll treasure forever, and we’re so grateful Jessica was such an important part of our wedding day. We highly recommend her!

We love Jessica! She's a brilliant photographer, such an ease to work with, which is why we keep going back anytime we want to capture something special. She always makes us comfortable and gives clear instruction on the best ways to present ourselves, both formally and candidly. the quality of her work truly shines through!

-Erina Palmisano


I have spent a lifetime on the art of photography - the technique, the equipment, the process, and the product.

All of that experience comes with me to every shoot.

Ready to chat? I'd love to hear from you!

Getting Ready Moments






Photographing throughout New England

Based in Newport, RI | Roots in Medfield, MA

NEWPORT, RI
Based on Aquidneck Island as of 2022, I enjoy being only a few miles from some of the most incredible wedding venues and portrait locations in New England. I've always enjoyed events and assignments in this area and am so happy it's now my backyard (especially grateful for daily walks along the ocean!). The small business culture here on the island is filled with incredible talent and artistry (and food! Oh my gosh the food!). I'm so happy to be here!
MEDFIELD, MA
In southeastern Mass, Medfield is the quintessential New England town. I grew up here, and for years had my studio in the center of town. I got to know the local business owners through being a part of, and then on the board of MEMO (Medfield Employers and Merchants Association), and enjoyed being a part of town activities including Medfield Day. I adore my client base here and look forward to working with them for many many years.
