Minneapolis Wedding Photographer | Jessica Smith Photography Blog bio picture
  • WELCOME!

    Hi! My name is Jessica. Thanks for stopping by.

    I am a full-time wedding photographer, based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. My style is rooted in a crisp, clean, timeless technique, glowing with natural light. It’s my belief that when that natural light is combined with a couple in love, all I need to do is be in the right place at the right time – which is where my experience comes in. (All you need to do is have fun.)

    Speaking of fun, that’s why I love what I do! Being a wedding photographer isn’t just my job, it’s my passion. Meeting a couple in love, being a part of their wedding day and helping them remember that day forever is more rewarding than I can begin to describe — so instead of describing it, I’ll let my photographs speak for themselves.

    Now that you know a little bit about me, I’d love to learn more about you, your wedding day plans, and how I can help you make that day last a lifetime.

    Give me call or, if email is easier, that’s fine too. I would love to hear from you!

Our Lady of Grace Wedding Photography ~ Caitlin & Derrick

Caitlin and Derrick are the sweetest couple and a little bit of rain was not going to stop them from having the perfect wedding day! They were married at Our Lady of Grace Church in Edina and although it rained for most of the day we found some really great locations for photos that kept us dry. After the ceremony the rain let up and we were able to go to a park for some outdoor photos with the whole group. It was such a fun day hanging out with this beautiful group of people! Congratulations Caitlin & Derrick!!!

Minneapolis Wedding Photographer ~ Andrea & Andy

Congratulations to Andrea & Andy! This adorable couple had a beautiful wedding and couldn’t have picked a more perfect April day for their celebration! It was so much fun to work with these two and their lovely families. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Andrea and her mom during the planning process and it was so much fun to see how excited they were about everything. They did a spectacular job planning all of the gorgeous details. We started the day with getting ready photos at Andrea’s Aunt and Uncle’s beautiful home.

A big thanks to my amazing assistant Jody for working with me! I am SO EXCITED to have you shooting with me all summer long!!!

Cokato, MN Farm Wedding ~ Laura & Tim

Laura and Tim got married in Laura’s hometown Cokato, MN – near the farm where she grew up. They are seriously one of the sweetest couples I think I have ever met. Their love is so genuine and it was such a pleasure being with them on their wedding day. Not only are they totally in love but it was obvious that they are very much loved by their friends and family. It was so great to see how truly happy everyone was to see them get married. Congratulations Laura & Tim, wishing you many many years of happiness!!
