Hey Beautiful, I'm Jean.

 

out of 1000 photographers why should you book me? Because I care.

 

And I care hard, I care enough to keep you in your most important moments, as the memories become slideshows from your phone and worn linen albums that prove gram and gramps Have been smokeshows.

I want you both to remember the rush of love, the romance, the covenant that started on your day, not the 10+ things that went wrong or that you were hurried from one "Mini photoshoot" to the next.

Are you looking for someone who cares more about your story being told for the next 100 years than you do?

Heck yes, let's do this.

Words from people who used to be exactly where you're at.

"I usually hate taking pictures, but Jean makes you feels so comfortable.

Everything turned out so natural and pretty. She captured all the moments at my wedding that I want to remember. Thank you Jean!"

  • Booking flights late at night is my guilty pleasure.
  • My favorite book in the Bible is Psalm 27

Lover of Brandon, Daughter of Jesus, Obsessor of Old English books, Observer of love.

It's INSANE how many people think their day HAS to be big, crazy, and stressful.

I used to think so too, until I actually got married!

I kept being reminded that unless it came between My Love and I's getting to be together forever, at the end of the day who has time to be stressed?

NOT ME! and not you either! 

I was so excited to be able to peacefully look around on my day and know that it had been planned around love.

The catalysts that keep me going

 

That one story where the author loved the people in the world he created so much that he died for them to really live.


 

Open Bible showing Psalm 27 and Psalm 29 with handwritten notes and underlined verses on worn pages.

The chosen love my husband daily gives me.

A joyful couple embraces outdoors near rocky cliffs, woman laughing and leaning on smiling bearded man.

All the old timey or period slow burn beautiful books that I’ve read.

 

Couple embracing tenderly at golden hour with misty mountain landscape in soft warm light.

"Jean Estelle photography did my wedding photos. She is the best. She showed up early and went above and beyond to make sure she got all the pictures I wanted as well as the ones I had no idea I wanted.

I love the way her photos are in black and white as well as colors. She knows how to capture the moment, the love, the laughter and then importance of that moment. Jean just keeps you laughing, you don’t know you are in front of a camera. I highly recommend Jean Estelle photography. She will be my forever photographer!!!!"
