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.
“Every photo was a work of art, showcasing not only the big moments but also the small, intimate details that made our day unique. Jessica’s professionalism and warmth made us feel completely at ease throughout the entire process.”

Booking Jessica for our wedding was one of the absolute BEST decisions we made!
I knew from our initial phone call that she was the perfect photographer for us! She was so kind, down to earth, clearly talented, and already felt like a close friend. I had poured through her pictures and loved the way she captured the love and joy in her couples so authentically! All of her images are stunning and you can tell the time and effort she puts into her art.
Fast forward to our wedding day and she was INCREDIBLE! Working with her was an utter joy and she made everyone feel comfortable and beautiful in front of the camera. She was so organized and worked seamlessly alongside my planner to capture all of the moments that were important to us and so much more. We absolutely love and are smitten with every picture! Our friends and family are constantly sharing how in awe they are of how she captured our special day so beautifully.

The best decision that you can make on your wedding day is to have Jess as your photographer. She is extremely talented at what she does, and really listens to what you want. She will go the extra mile to ensure that she captures your photos exactly as you want them. She also is an amazing resource, and gave me so many great ideas during the wedding planning process. She radiates enthusiasm because you can tell she is passionate and takes great care in what she does. My husband and I were blown away at how comfortable she made us feel, especially since we are both very camera shy. There is a lot to worry about on your wedding day, but if you have Jess as your photographer you can rest assured that your pictures will come out to be better than expected!
