the Jessica Schmitt photography
Experience
Reviews from clients, the wedding process, FAQs and my promise to you.
"Jess was such a pleasure to work with and captured every special moment perfectly."
She is so kind and talented. She gives the perfect amount of direction and also captures moments as they happen organically. The style of her pictures are classic and timeless, not overly posed or edited. We'd highly recommend her!
Allison & Parker
"Jess and Eric made us feel comfortable, calm, and confident."
We were blown away! If you are looking for a photographer in Colorado, or beyond, hire Jessica Schmitt Photography. It will be one of the best wedding decisions you make, and you will have gorgeous photos and memories of your big day.

"Perfection"
She had everything covered. All the important moments of the ceremony and reception she captured - and she did so without taking anything away from the moment. Our guests thought she was wonderful. Most importantly- the quality of the pictures was perfection.
Laura & GREG
"She goes above and beyond."
Jess is so kind and genuine and she truly listens, wanting to provide the best experience possible. She is organized, professional, honest, and goes above and beyond to ensure her couples feel at ease and happy with the finished product. We had a small ceremony on a mountain and at one point Jess was laying in the dirt in order to get the best shot of us - that’s commitment right there.
Our pictures came out STUNNING and it was all because of her direction and ability to make us feel comfortable and not rushed. She even suggested some fun things that ended up being some of our favorite poses of the day. She works with you to establish a timeline so you get to fully experience your day without feeling like you’re rushing through pictures and missing out on the party. I wish I could give more than 5 stars!

do you travel?
Yes! I am based in Denver, but often travel to NYC and California. I have also photographed events in London, Washington D.C., North Carolina, Atlanta and Florida.
I am always excited to see where a wedding could take me.
how do i know how many hours of coverage i need?
I will help you plan your timeline, but generally if your entire day is at one location, you will need 8 hours. If you have multiple locations, you will likely need 9-10+.
Do you take family or maternity portraits?
Yes, I love taking both, especially if it means reconnecting with a past couple. Please see more information at jessicaschmitt.com/family
what happens if you get sick?
I take my job very seriously and will do everything in my power to be there on your wedding day. If for some extreme reason I am not able to attend, I have many resources and groups I can work with to find someone with a similar style to make sure you are covered.
DO you have insurance?
Yes. It is common for venues to require a certificate of insurance from vendors and I am happy to provide one, when requested.
who is your second shooteR?
My second shooter is almost always my very talented husband, Eric. We have been working together for 15 years and love shooting together.
DO you offer videography?
I solely focus on photography, ensuring that I offer the best service possible. I have connections with wonderful cinematographers with various budget ranges. I'd love to offer my recommendations.
Does our location require a permit?
Many Colorado state and national parks require permits, as well as public spaces like Union Station. Let's talk through any areas you would like to consider.
How many photos will we receIve?
The complexities of your day will greatly affect the number of photos I deliver. You can count on 75-100 photos per hour.
