    The best photographer, quality and fun!

    Jess is absolutely amazing! We met Jess when she was photographing the double wedding a few years back. We were able to work with her directly and just see how amazing she truly is first hand. A few weeks later, we got engaged and we knew instantly that we needed to hire Coral Compass Photo Co for our wedding. After we confirmed our wedding venue and date, Jess was the next vendor on our list. Jess is so responsive we were confirming contracts and payments on Thanksgiving that year. The next time we saw Jess was for our engagement photos and both of us were nervous about it because neither of us had done professional photos together before. Jess instantly broke the ice and we were able to relax and have a great time during the entire session. She captured so many amazing moments during our engagement photos including some of my favorite photos with our dog. After getting those photos back, I was even more excited for her to capture all the special moments at our wedding.

    Fast forward to our wedding day, Jess and Allie did a fantastic job! She made sure to let me know when she was on the way and when she arrived she made sure the boys had their act together first. It’s like she knew that thought was in my head as we were all getting ready. We had a previously planned timeline but she was so flexible in the order of getting ready photos and detail shots. Then it was time for my first look to my dad and she executed that flawlessly capturing such a special moment with my dad. The rest of the day was so relaxing and Jess made sure we captured everything we discussed and more. During our group photos our venue let the horses out for the night. Jess was absolutely on board with taking a detour so that we could capture even more photos with the herd of horses. The best part is Jess and Allie captured moments that I didn’t even think they saw and I was beyond happy to see them in our album. When she delivered our full album, I was speechless. I loved every photo and we have even joked that we need to just print all of them and make wallpaper of them. Each photo is unique and shows the best versions of us on such a memorable day. Now the tricky part is picking ones for our album that she is designing. Thank you so much for everything Jess! If you are thinking of hiring Coral Compass Photo Co, book her right away! She is worth it and I highly recommend her to all our friends and family. I know that this is only the beginning of our story with Coral Compass Photo Co.

    The best of the best!

    You cannot go wrong hiring Jess as your photographer! She is incredibly talented at what she does. She's responsible, professional, organized, and fun. Our pictures turned out amazing and we will forever cherish them. I just can't stop scrolling through our album. I am truly obsessed and I have never been one that's comfortable in front of a camera. She made us feel like royalty on wedding day and was incredible at managing our huge wedding party (9 on each side plus parents and 2 kids). She will keep you feeling calm and confident all day throughout the chaos! Not only that but she was a major help during the planning process, as my venue sent a timeline that just didn't make sense. She helped me to rework it so that we could get everything we wanted incorporated into our day. I truly felt like she was my friend, my confidant, and ultimate hype-man. I promise you you will not be disappointed in booking her! I would use her again and again!

    Amazing!

    I cannot say enough good things about Jess’s work! ☺️❤️ She is an absolutely amazing photographer! Coming from two people that don’t know what to do when it comes to photos, she makes it very easy and helps you through each position and pose. Every time that we got to have a meet up to do photos, it is as if you were meeting up with a long distant best friend and catching up. ☺️ She has an amazing personality and super professional. We truly love working with Jess! And she definitely has 2 more life long customers (friends). ☺️❤️

    Best Photographer Ever!

    Jess felt like family to us from the very first phone call! She went above and beyond to meet all of our needs and answer any questions at any time! Her work really speaks for itself but if for some reason that is not enough for you, you will be sold once you have the first conversation with her! My husband can be uncomfortable in these sorts of situations and she always had him as relaxed and calm as I’ve ever seen him! I will never use anyone other than Jess she is a diamond for sure!

    So amazing!

    Jess is nothing short of amazing! My husband and I were not sure what to expect for our engagement photos, but as soon as we started Jess made us feel so comfortable and had us laughing the whole time! We were so excited to see her again on our wedding day. Everyone kept talking about how great she was and how amazing our photos came out!

    Jess is amazing!

    I looked at a lot of photographers before committing because it’s a big investment. Immediately, I knew I wanted Jess - she was the only photographer to ask about me and my fiancé. She developed an excellent rapport with my now husband and I and made the whole engagement and wedding day shoots easy and comfortable. My husband and I had never done any sort of professional photos before and were a little nervous but Jess was great at settling us and directing us for amazing pictures. One of my favorite things is during her dinner “break,” Jess worked diligently to edit some sneak peaks so while I wait for my full gallery, I already have a beautiful handful of pictures to stare at and share! My husband and I have already decided Jess is our forever family photographer. BOOK HER!

    Just Magical

    Jess is just amazing. You can see that her photographs are just beautiful, she's a master of capturing and harness the perfect light for the shot, but she's also just plain fun to work with. She made this self conscious bride feel so comfortable in front of her camera- and that shows in the pictures. She's also very professional- stayed with us during our 465 days of rescheduling our wedding (thanks Covid), kept us in the loop, throughout the process and never dropped any balls. I was blown away by how quickly we got our proofs, and how beautiful every shot was, from posed first look shots to candids of old friends tearing up at the ceremony, Jess' pictures really captured our day (and made this old bride look and feel like a princess). I can not recommend her highly enough...I've already told her, she's getting a call when we do a vow renewal. =)

    Cannot speak highly enough about Jess!

    My husband and I decided to go with Jess after researching a bunch of photographers in VT/NH for a few reasons - the price, her communication, and her style. We're so happy we did! Jess was able to take my half-baked portrait ideas and turned them into magical moments we will treasure forever! Not only that, but she has been so fun and made us so comfortable throughout the process - and we're pretty awkward in front of a camera...
    The energy she brings, the skill with a camera and the unreal turn-around time for our photos (sneak peek the same day? She's a beast!) cannot be beat. I can not rave enough about Jess!

    Coral Compass Photoco's reply:

    Oh my gosh!!!! You both are too sweet!!! I am so thankful you both have felt comfortable and excited about your experience with me!! Truly, I appreciate your words so incredibly much ❤️ THANK YOU!!

    My first (and favorite) wedding vendor!

    The first thing we did after our engagement was reach out to Jess and book her for our wedding. We didn’t know where (or maybe even when) the wedding would be, but we knew we wanted Jess to document our special day. We met Jess many years ago at a family members wedding, we loved not only her photography style, but her personality and ability to work calmly and confidently with the bridal party and family. Jess was so organized and well prepared. She asked all the right questions and made sure we were prepared for our wedding weekend. Jess also came a night early to photograph our rehearsal dinner. She then stayed late to snag a few photos of our newborn nephew. Jess goes above and beyond in all aspects of her work and we are so happy with the final product, our beautiful wedding photos that we will cherish for life!

    The Best Photographer Ever

    Jess is absolutely phenomenal and captured our wedding day and our people so perfectly! Jess goes above and beyond for all of her couples and as soon as you email her for the first time you feel as though you've known her your whole life. She is incredibly organized and makes the planning process stress-free. Her thoughtful messages and sweet gifts throughout our engagement constantly validated how fortunate we felt to have a photographer who cares so deeply about her clients. Her photos are absolutely stunning and we have received so many compliments on them. We know we will cherish them for years to come. Jess made everyone feel so comfortable on the wedding day. If you, your partner, or any family or friends aren't super comfortable in front of the camera, Jess is your girl! She organized everyone so well on the day of the wedding and is so upbeat and friendly that everyone immediately felt at ease in her presence. This made the photos even more amazing! I'm pretty sure our bridal party is forming a fan club in her honor. I could go on for several more paragraphs about how incredible Jess is, but I will leave it at this: you will not find a kinder, more professional photographer who will capture you, your partner, and your special day more as perfectly as Jess will. She truly makes everyone feel like a million bucks.

    OUCH!!!! My heart!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart 🥺 Working with you and Josh (and your incredible friends and family!!!) has been such an honor and the best time!!! I cannot wait to see you again ❤️

    Best choice of them all!

    I don't think 3500 characters is enough for all of the amazing things I could say about Coral Compass Photo Co. I remember reaching out to Jess years ago inquiring for her to be our wedding photographer. When I saw her work, I knew she was the one and since then, she has amazed me time and time again. When hiring Coral Compass as your wedding photographer, you're not just hiring someone taking your photos. You're investing in a genuine soul who is going to be passionate about your dreams, your visions and your every detail. It is so much more than hiring a vendor, it is adding someone to your support group, having another team member on your side and knowing confidently that you're going to have the most amazing experience of your life; on the most important day of your life. That sounds like a win win to me! I truly can't thank you enough Jess for being my go to person throughout this all, learning to know me more than I know myself, and ensuring that every single detail was fully executed - all while making my self conscious self look and feel beautiful. Lots of love! Chrissy xoxo

    Jess is amazing!

    We are so thankful for Jess and the way she captured our wedding day. She is professional, artistic and so much fun!! She was so excited to help capture our day and made us feel so comfortable around the camera. Being a Covid wedding she made us feel so safe and was so flexible with changing our date and making us feel so special and loved!! Highly recommend Jess!!

    Love Jess and Coral Compass!

    We can’t recommend Jess enough! From the first phone call over 2 years ago (thanks COVID) to our wedding day, Jess was incredibly helpful in answering all my questions, helping to figure out details around timeline and was the best hype woman on the big day. She made all of us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and her work speaks for itself — absolutely incredible!!

    Amazing!!!

    I could not recommend Jess at Coral Compass any more highly! Not only are her photographs bright and beautiful, she's also fun and makes everyone feel so confident in front of the camera. She went above and beyond for our wedding in February of 2021. Due to COVID, we were forced to cancel with our venue just three weeks before and find a new ceremony site. Jess was so flexible, she helped us create our timeline for the day and directed our guests the day of! I honestly could not imagine our wedding day without her. 10/10 would recommend! I can't wait to hire her back for our full reception in 2022!! :)

    Five stars is not enough!!

    If you are looking for a fun, knowledgeable, supportive, AFFORDABLE, punctual (in every way) photographer then Jess is your girl! When I began searching for the right photographer for our wedding, I was told many times “you get what you pay for”. My FH and I were paying for most of this wedding on our own and had a very tight budget. Time after time I was let down by multiple photographers that despite having a nice portfolio were just way too over our budget. Then I found Coral Compass Photo Co during a random search. I took a peak at Jess’ portfolio and packages and thought she might be the one. I reached out and Jess was very prompt with responding and answering any questions/ concerns that I had. She was flexible with our needs and within a couple days we booked her. We originally said no to an engagement session but then after some thought we decided to add it on so we could get used to being photographed. During our engagement session we brought our dogs and Jess was great at capturing their personalities. She was honest about some of our ideas and if they would photograph well or not but was totally supportive about giving it a shot. She returned sneak peaks in record time and the photos were spectacular! Our wedding was scheduled for May 2020, but then Covid....Jess was one of the first people to reach out to us to check in. After much discussion we decided to postpone and Jess was super flexible with fitting our new date in her busy schedule. We decided to elope in front of our parents on our original date, and we requested that Jess be present to capture this moment as well. Once again, stunning photos in record speed. It honestly felt more like a girlfriend hanging out with us snapping some photos than someone we hired!

    Our postponed date was August 7th and once again Jess was with us to capture these moments. My husband who is normally extremely anxious, awkward and uncomfortable has become so comfortable with Jess that she was able to capture some pretty memorable moments of Ryan with his guard down. Once again I had some different ideas for photos and Jess was 100% up for it, but fully disclosed expectations vs reality. Well, she blew it out of the park once again. The photos are again amazing, she had sneak peaks up that night, a blog post with her faves up within a week and the finalized album already available this week!

    My husband and I were so sad to see Jess go at the end of our wedding, but we know exactly who to call next time we are looking for another photo shoot. I can say with certain that if you hire Coral Compass you will get way more than what you pay for.

    Coral Compass Photoco's reply:

    Oh my gosh, you two!!!! I am blown away by your sweet testimony and kind words about your experience with me!!! I am so thankful to have gained you two as friends for life, and can’t WAIT for the next time I see you both!!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️❤️❤️

    Amazing Photographer!!

    I discovered Jess by seeing her on several wedding Facebook groups and LOVED her style of photography. From the second I talked to Jess I knew she was meant to be our photographer, I booked her as soon as we could! Meeting her in person for our engagement photos only solidified this feeling. For two people who feel awkward in front of a camera, you cannot tell in our photos. Jess made us feel comfortable, she is hilarious and totally approachable. Throughout our engagement Jess would check in and helped me create our timeline for the day. During the wedding she was exactly my vision of the perfect photographer; she was early, extremely organized and gave a calming presence. We got several compliments on how quick she was to direct our very large (and complicated!) family portraits and how friendly and approachable she was throughout the day. From the previews, the blog (which is an amazing extra touch!!), the mobile apps and the goodies she sends at the end- it was truly one of the best investments of our day. I will treasure our photos forever and hope our paths cross again. I would recommend Jess 100 times over!!
