This review is so, so far overdue that I'm embarrassed, but I'm hoping better late than never! Let…read moreme tell you this: if you are looking at reviews for Jessica, look no further and BOOK. HER. TL;DR (kinda) is this - I had the following worries/asks and Jessica Kae Photography delivered: -Partner being nervous for photos -Need for tact with delicate family relationships -I love the detail/getting ready photos -Candid moments throughout the ceremony/reception Honestly, I was incredibly nervous with the thought of finding a photographer because my husband HATES pictures. For every prom/homecoming, picture-taking was alwayssss the biggest dread for him. He hates smiling on command, doesn't like feeling posed, and he doesn't like the feeling of being "forced" to capture a moment (and you didn't hear this from me, but sometimes he really doesn't have the best posed smile lololol). I'm also not much of a "selfie" person with him, so I was becoming nervous too. When reading Jessica's reviews, I saw a few women mention my exact same worry. Those customers said that Jessica has a magic touch, and their husbands didn't feel awkward or forced whatsoever - the pictures turned out beautifully! Based on this, plus a few other factors, I decided to move forward with Jess and Donny. Further details: I currently live in California, but I grew up in Hartville, OH which is about an hourish away from the Youngstown/Canfield area. My high school sweetheart proposed to me in 2019 and we were over the moon. We've always known that no matter where we ended up living, we would get married back home so our families would be able to attend. I started my search and am beyond thankful to have come across Jessica. She and her husband Donny are a dynamic duo! Their energies are so positive and fun, and they genuinely seemed excited for us even though we were meeting for the first time. They were a huge part in making our day flow incredibly smoothly. Each meeting we had left me feeling secure and confident in the plan. The pair are incredibly detailed, great with logistics, and genuinely interested in your love story so they ensure they capture it through the photos. Another important note: both of our parents are divorced, which came with some sensitive relationships to consider. Jess and Donny yet again made us feel relaxed about handling those interactions. They were attentive to our desires, captured all the getting ready details, helped keep everyone on schedule, and seriously were a huge part of the wonderful success of our special, beautiful day. I'm forever grateful to these wonderful people!!

I definitely did my research on which photographer to use. In the end I chose Socko due to his years of experience what he was offering and the quality of his work. Since my sons shoot I have asked Socko for advice in a couple different areas and he was always quick to respond with helpful advice. And in the first week that we started using the pictures we have received several requests to audition! Definitely recommend!

Our proposal photos were beautiful, but our wedding experience and thereafter was extremely…read moredisappointing. Our contract specified three shooters, yet we were only provided two for most of the time, with no adequate warning or explanation. I was told the night before our wedding the Lockes wouldn't even be present at my wedding which was shocking because we hired them, not their team. A "third shooter" was briefly present earlier in the day, then replaced, leaving us understaffed for the remainder of the event. As a result, important moments were missed. This third shooter also had never shot a wedding. She will say this is okay because she worked with us on our payments because I was out of a job and my husband was undergoing insane health concerns (getting diagnosed with an autoimmune disease and epilepsy nbd). While the initial work was strong, the failure to meet contractual obligations and the lack of communication make this a vendor we cannot recommend for a wedding. We also never did an engagement shoot and were told we could get a book with our photos as a replacement this has not been the case. They also already have our address. I also requested RAW video of my father / daughter dance with my disabled father and our vow exchange because that apparently doesn't come with the package we got. I offered to pay and was told it was okay and I didn't need to. I have followed up 5 times since February with no reply.
