Emotive and honestly captured intimate wedding photography based in South Carolina and Beyond

Are we the perfect fit? Let's find out!
Does this sound like who you wanna be on your wedding day?
"Today's the day that we get to finally stop living life as two, and totally become one and gaaaaahhh! I'm so excited! I can't wait to see my HUSBAND and hug the socks off of my closest friends! I just want to spend my wedding in my day! This isn't a photoshoot it's my wedding and I want to remember it as that! Beautiful pictures of course but I 10,000% want to enjoy the day and look back on the memories of my real story in photo form."
What I want to do is be the person in your corner who gets to enable you to march, no run on that day with the love of your life without having to look back.
I looking to document every moment of intimacy I can, so not just when you look back on your day, you see stunning photos of one of the most beautiful times in your life, and WHILE YOU'RE STILL THERE, the only thing you're doing is laughing, and loving with the people who make it all worthwhile, not worrying, and taking yourself out of the moments you've fought so hard to pour your soul into. Let's keep you there.
"Where's the photographer? Is she missing this shot? Should I be over there next? What do I do with my hands?"
I'm right here, and I've got you, you just stay in your wedding day, you've worked hard enough on it.
Love From past Clients
"I have no notion of loving people by halves; it is not my nature. "
- Jane Austin
HELLO, I'M JEAN ESTELLE,
And I don't do much by degrees, things you'll find me obsessed over will always be Jesus, my husband Brandon and that strange habit that leads otherwise sane people to eat ice pops when it's cold or drink mango smoothies when it's snowing out.
I've been professionally showing up for couples with my whole heart and my cameras since 2020 and I've documented couples from Hawaii to Colorado to my home state of South Carolina always shooting for your love, your story, and Jesus.
The Expirience

You're love story and what makes your story unique to you.
So we can get to know each other! I wanna hear your story, how you guys met alll the things!
Your dreams and goals for the day.
I cannot want to walk away from this call WITHOUT your Pinterest board girl! Tell me all the details and things you're working and dreaming of!
And you'll get to ask alll the questions you'd like!
Totally open book, I'd love to help you feel as comfortable as possible throughout this part of your journey together!

3. YOUR DAY
Omgoodness, the two are becoming one! and I'm so here for it!
The day of your wedding
You'll get to enjoy you guests, your day and your love, if I notice the day is for some reason starting to overwhelm you or get to hectic I'm here to pull you both away for breaks, or rearrange any photo times so that you both can use that extra time for just the two of you.
This is not an all day photo shoot, this is your wedding, the day the covenant begins and I want you both to enjoy it!
And let me be soso clear,
I'm not going to leave you feeling awkward either, I'm not a documentary photographer who will just watch you and take pictures then leave without a word you'll definitely have plenty of direction when and how you need it!
4. DELIVERY
Your Sneak peaks?
Next day.
And no, not 25 photos of the first few minutes of your elopement either, a fully comprehensive snap shot of your whole day, the cover of every scene from beginning to end in 85 to 120 images in your own private online gallery.
Your full custom online gallery?
You mean your full digital album of the beginning legacy of your families face cards?
I don't ever cap my photos so your 400 minimum photo album of artfully edited moments and memories will be delivered as soon as possible while being handled with the most care within six weeks.
Sit back grab the tissues as you relive all the moments that matter most from the beginning of your forever.
And definitely a few surprises along the way!
Here's whats always included
no matter which package you pick
Emotive, warm and storytelling true to you photography
Obviously you're gonna book a photographer within the next few days that can deliver the shots you have to have,
and I'm gonna do that, but what about the ones you cannot live without? The ones you didn't know you needed?
The one of your Man checking you out top to bottom while you laugh your heart out? The one of you HOLDING ON FOR DEAR LIFE while you two climb up to the edge of something stunning and he wraps his arms around you before your body even started to shiver? When the momentary look in each other's eyes melts into a kiss?
Yeah, that's the magic we're looking for, and those are the in-between moments that you don't ever wanna forget, and I won't let you.
What this looks like:
100% direction, 0% you being left without knowing what's next.
It's your day but you will not be sitting around unsure of what you should do in front of the camera, I won't be controlling your every move I'll be making certain you don't have to ask what to do to start with so your photos feel start to finish just like your unique love story.
(YES that means you'll always know what to do with your hands and where to look, I promise.)
Intentionally and artfully hand edited images
I don't use AI to instantly edit your gallery, and I don't have a huge team of people editing on mass either, each photo of yours is an individual documentation of your day, your moments, your memories edited by me by hand to reflect the art that is your life.
Sneak peeks within 48 hours in a private online gallery
Because I know how hard it is to wait to start reliving those moments!
Full delivery within 6 weeks
Or sooner if you add expedited delivery when selecting your package <3
Full online gallery for one year
Thoughtfully organized and easy to access for downloading right away or in a few months.
Travel always included
Because I know one more "additional fee" is not the vibe you're going for!
This is most likely your first time doing this right? Well it's not mine!
I'm happy to bring all of my experience working on timelines and with full days to help you not experience the thing that honestly? Most Brides have to go through on their days, many mini wild fires.
From our first consult call to your final dance I'm gonna be right there to help you not just avoid, but glide through your day without that totally unnecessary rush from moment to moment on your day.
Timeline assistance
More than just initial on our consult call, I've literally been in every part of a wedding day in different roles before becoming a wedding photographer, I'm more than happy to fully walk through your entire timeline as a vendor whose been working weddings for 10 years+ in every aspect.
Vendor recommendations
If I don't already know someone in the field you're needing who can help I'm happy to help you find them!
A built in bestie with a camera
Girl, we can be friends from Day One.
When I got married, I did a lot by myself, and that's because I didn't want anyone on my team who felt like a stranger on my wedding day and I know you don't either. Do these shoes look odd to you? Got a second to pray for me?
I GET IT, thank God people came around me and helped me out SO MUCH because they poured into me and my Love, and I am so happy that I get to be here for you now! Did you hear that?
I'm HERE FOR YOU. Text, call, let's talk! I always wanna see your photo and hear your story.
Let me just share what others have said here...
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you help keep my wedding day stress free?
So this might sound like a lot from a photographer, but photography is NOT the most important part of your day but it can set the tone for the day! So instead of me spending the day calling the shots I'd rather capture them, I'll intentionally capture a mixture of candids as I document what happened as well as encourage you to lean in to your love (sometimes literally haha) to capture what it felt like.
I'm not here to rush you around and tell you what to do! Are you having a BLAST dancing with your grandparents during what we "planned" to be your "step away for portraits time?" I've got you. If I can tell there will be more time later (Which is why I always help with timelines!) there's no rush.
Be IN your day, the rest will work itself out.
Do you travel?
Yes, Yes I do.
I've done sessions in Hawaii, Colorado, Tennessee, all over and have a huge "hit list" of places I'm dying to go so fear not cause wherever you, are my bags are packed and ready to go!
All travel is included in my pricing so no guess work or math for you!
How does hiring you work?
First, just click here and fill out my contact form as best you can, but don't over think it if you don't have many details!
Then the three of us hop on a FaceTime, Zoom or Google meets call and from there after a signed contract and paid retainer we will plan the very best start to your honeymoon there could ever be.
Your wedding ;)
How will we get our photos?
I send you a digital gallery just brimming with your amazing selves!
For a wedding my minimum is 400 images.
For any other kind of session it is 45 images.
But I never cap my photos so you will get every jaw dropper I edit of you!
What's an intimate wedding?
GREAT QUESTION!
An intimate weddings main focus is connection, centering relationships especially showcasing YOUR LOVE over the pomp and circumstance.
A smaller wedding normally with less then 75 people total enables you to spend time with your friends, family- can we talk about that a second?
These are not your "guests," and you're not the hostess of Applebee's (unless you are haha), they ARE your FRIENDS AND FAMILY - the ones who have supported, loved on, prayed for, and got you both here!
Intimate weddings keep that at the forefront, so you and your love get to prioritize QUALITY TIME over everything.
I've never done this before, but I like your stuff?
Guess what?
Most people who are getting married haven't done it before either!
The simplest way to take the next step is definitely to fill out the contact form.
You probably have had to fill out a bunch of these already so I kept it as short as possible for ya!
And let's get talking about your day! I want to get into allllll the details with you and see the Pinterest boards and the dress pictures and just generally get to love on you!
I WANT to help you and serve you both as much as I can to get you to the day you both dreamed of.
So why wait?
Do you do Family, Portraits anything else?
1000% YES!
Although my main focus is couples I love getting to do family and portrait sessions especially with past clients!
Investments for Portraits/Senior sessions start at $350.
Investments for Family/lifestyle start at $400.
My availability is somewhat limited so book ahead to get your dates!
Fill out the contact form with the type of session you want to do in mind!
How would you describe your style?
I would say Earthy, Warm, Film inspired.
I have a thing for movement and love capturing your raw emotions way more than just your amazing smile, I want your whole dang story in your photos <3
You were here, you were real, and what you did and who you loved made an impact.
I'm all about capturing how it felt!
