CALL IT A CLAN, CALL IT A NETWORK, CALL IT A TRIBE, CALL IT A FAMILY: WHATEVER YOU CALL IT, WHOEVER YOU ARE, YOU NEED ONE.” —Jane Howard

Jessica Lapp Photography

Jessica Lapp is a wedding and portrait photographer located in Charlottesville, Virginia. Through a mix of film and digital photography, wedding days are captured as a story. Her approach is simple, yet intentional: classically elegant, yet relaxed. Elevated in style, yet never stiff. Luxurious, emotional imagery starts with relationships, and that is the foundation of her business. Days off consist of lots of time outside on their farm in the gorgeous countryside of Central Virginia with her husband Steve and her 2 year old daughter Evelyn.

“I canʼt express my gratitude and thanks enough to Jess and her amazing photography! From the first meeting to the final gallery imagines, she was amazing to work with and SO personable to her clients. Her work speaks for itself: timeless, classic, light, and filled with so many emotions.”
