My wife and I are very awkward photo subject, so we were looking for a photographer who would be able to take great candid shots, pose us naturally, and make us feel comfortable. Jess came highly regarded by my sister, so we were pleasantly surprised that she was available for an engagement shoot in San Diego. Jess was professional, thorough, and fun! She spent so much care on the little details, and was able to take a quick look around our locations and the perfect spots to shoot in. She managed our awkwardness so well, and made us feel like we were just casually taking photos with a close friend. Prior to the shoot, she even sent outfit recommendations, and got to know us over a video call so that she could get some ideas about what types of scenes we could capture! Our favorite part of the experience was seeing the previews for the first time. Jess truly went above and beyond for us, turning around a quick set of photos so that we could put them on the wedding invitations on a short timeline, but without sacrificing an ounce of quality. She made all of the pictures look effortlessly beautiful, elegant, and full of love. We loved our experience with Jess so much, that we asked her team to shoot our wedding photos as well. Unfortunately, she wasn't available personally, but her team did an amazing job, and Jess even personally edited the photos in her style afterwards for us. If you're looking for a photographer with enormous talent, a detailed eye, and who will treat you like a member of her family, Jess is the best in the business. We feel so tremendously grateful to have worked with her, and would recommend her to anyone for any occasion! Thank you so much Jess! read more

My god, we are so happy that Jess at Cheers Babe photographed our wedding. We absolutely couldn't be happier with the results. When we were looking for a photographer for our wedding & engagement, Jess' work immediately stood out. She had a fun, vibrant style that we immediately loved. But more than that, we noticed she captured special & candid moments between her couples. And that's exactly what were hoping for when we chose her. And boy, did she do an amazing job. We are two awkward, nerdy people. We were very nervous about taking photos, but Jess made us feel at complete ease. At both the engagement shoot and wedding, Jess captured moments that felt unique to US. And each photo was beautifully composed and gorgeous. The turnaround time was impressive -- she sent a generous selection of sneak peeks the day after each event, and we received the final sets of photos much earlier than expected. On top of that, Jess and her team were professional and lovely at the wedding itself. Many guests commented on how much they liked the photographers. Also, Jess photographed our wedding while almost 9 months pregnant! We were very impressed and so touched that she was able to squeeze us in. We are so so so happy with Jess & Cheers Babe's work and would recommend them to absolutely anyone. read more

Jess is the most thoughtful, insightful and talented photographer I've ever worked with! I was lucky to meet her at my best friend's wedding and was able to see her in her element. I wasn't even engaged at the time and I knew she would photograph my wedding some day About 6 months later I got engaged to my best friend and the first thing I did was reach out to Jess to check her availability for our big day! She was flexible, professional, and so so sweet. As we dealt with COVID and so many changes to our wedding day, Jess was always a calm presence and was so helpful with her expertise as we jumped thru hurdles and made changes. Our wedding was PERFECT and Jess made everything run seamlessly! She was calm and sweet but also forceful (in the best way!!!) to keep things running smoothly and on time. I was so comfortable with her! Thank you Jess! You're amazing and The Beams are so thankful for you!!!! Anyone looking for a photographer in the Bay Area will not be disappointed!!! read more

Cheers Babe - Event Photography Near Me

When I got engaged, the first thing I did for wedding planning was book Cheers Babe to capture our wedding day. Outside of marrying my husband, booking Cheers Babe was the best decision I made when it came to our wedding. When COVID hit, we went from having a destination wedding for 200 people to a 10-person wedding at my husband's childhood home. Through all the ups and downs of planning our original dream wedding, cancelling that wedding, and re-planning another wedding, Jess was with us every step of the way. When you hire Jess, you are hiring more than a photographer. You are hiring a caring, passionate and empathetic human being who truly loves her couples. It can be awkward posing for photos. Jess takes all of the awkwardness out of it and makes it feel natural and fun. We booked an engagement photoshoot with Jess before our wedding and I am so glad we did. She taught us tons of tips for taking photos that she referenced again on our wedding day. It made the whole thing so much more natural. Jess has a way of making her brides and grooms feel so beautiful and at ease, which shows in the end result. You can feel the joy and happiness when you look at her photos because that's how she makes her couples feel! read more

Jessica Lynne Studios is one of my favorite photographers. Her talent is matched only by her fantastic personality. She is exceptionally professional, timely in returning photos after an event, and a wonderful, calming presence on the day of the wedding. You'll feel like she's your new best friend after a day of working with her. I'm obsessed with the albums she creates as part of her package! read more

Choosing Cheers Babe / Jess as our wedding photographer was hands down the absolute best wedding decision we made! I honestly think Jess might be an angel because that's how big of an impact she had on our day. First off, Jess is just a kind, caring, funny and bubbly human being. She makes the awkward feelings of being in front of a camera melt away in 2.5 seconds without even trying. Jess also has impeccable taste and was such a good sounding board for ideas I had on our day of (ie. that probably won't look the way you way you think it will or yes, love that so much!!). Her responsiveness and support put me at ease so more times than I can count. Jess also took time to get to know my husband and I so it was that much easier to feel like ourselves around her which TOTALLY shows in our pictures. On top of all that, Jess was amazing at working with my other vendors, managing details, and of course was on time and on the money with everything she said she'd do. She even had a sneak peak of photos for us to look at before we even boarded a plan to our honeymoon. So on to the actual pictures themselves...this is probably a bit TMI for a wedding review but I was very insecure about getting my pictures taken for my engagement shoot and wedding. Jess was able to not only make me forget about my insecurities during our first session / engagement photos but then literally brought me to tears as I saw how stunning our photos turned out. Every ounce of insecurity I had was gone after that and it's entirely because of Jess. She was a blast at our wedding. All of our guests loved her and you can actually feel the vibe of our special day when you look at any of the photographs. We will never have enough words to express our gratitude to Cheers Babe but we can say BOOK HER AS SOON AS YOU CAN! Photographers with this kind of talent are one in a trillion!! read more

Cheers Babe - Event Photography Near Me

See all

It's about freakin' time I get good photographs of myself on the /other/ side of the lens. As a photographer it is so hard to find other photographers to fit my own brand for business portraits. Jess at Cheers Babe had that perfect LA commercial vibe that made me feel like a professional model (and LOOK like one, too!). I'm so thankful for the variety of images that she delivered - they are perfect for showcasing my personality through my business. Her style of shooting during the session was very casual and fun, and she was excellent in describing how she wanted me to pose. I felt as comfortable as I would have if I handed a camera to my best friend. read more

I can't say enough good things about our experience with Jess and her team at Cheers Babe! First off, Jess makes you feel so comfortable from the very first conversation. We knew having high quality wedding photos was one thing that was important for us to prioritize for our covid micro wedding and going with Jess was a no brainer. We had a super fun engagement photo shoot (highly recommend to get you familiar with Jess) and got some incredible save the date photos out of it. Jess has the most fun prompts to capture you looking natural and in your element. We thought we'd be super awkward doing our first photo shoot but she made us feel completely at ease. On the wedding day I was super nervous and Jess did a good job putting me at ease. I haven't even said anything about the photos yet! They are gorgeous!!! The color is so rich and the photos really capture what the day felt like. The photos are SO VIBRANT. She captures all those gorgeous posed photos (wedding party etc) but also my favorite is her candid photos. You won't regret going with Cheers Babe. They also prompt you with reminders and questions throughout the wedding planning process so you feel up to speed on what's coming next (which was super helpful for a newbie like me). Thank you so much for capturing these photos we will cherish always! read more

I haven't even had my wedding yet, but Jess deserves five stars already. In the midst of a hectic and emotional week of postponing my wedding from 2020 to 2021 because of the pandemic I don't feel like naming anymore, the true colors of our vendors have shown through. Cheers Babe has been one of the ones that has put me at ease immediately and assured me it will all be ok - reducing, not adding to the stress. Thank you to Jess for being such a light in dark few days. People like you bring the silver lining to these tough times. We cannot wait to have you document our day! read more

Jess did our wedding, and she was amazing! I highly recommend her to anyone. Some key highlights: - Execution - The photos themselves turned out beautifully. - Planning - Jess was very flexible with planning based on our preferences, and she also had a lot of helpful suggestions to make the day flow smoothly. - Direction - Part of photography is making sure the people are set up and framed in optimal lighting and position. Jess was able to do this with grace and speed. - Quick turnaround - Jess shared a handful of her favorite photos the day after the wedding, then a quick photo reel a few weeks later, then the full photo set available for download a few weeks after that. My sister got married a 2 months before me, and I got my photos before she did. - Presence - During some of the key moments like the ceremony and the speeches, Jess was able to take amazing photos but also stay in the background. - Value - We did a lot of research and the combination of Jess's price and quality were unmatched. read more

JESS IS THE BEST EVER! You will not be able to hire a better photographer. Prior to my wedding day, I was anxious and thought that my wedding day would be the culmination of all of my fears. I cringed at the thought of being the center of attention. But Jess changed EVERYTHING the moment she walked in. Her presence and preparedness instantly put everyone at ease, especially me. I look back at my wedding day and cannot help but feel an overwhelming sense of gratefulness for Jess. It was very apparent that Jess has a lot of experience. Coupled with her professionalism, it was easy to tell that she was genuinely excited to lead us through a fun, day-long photoshoot. Jess possesses a unique ability to make you feel comfortable and beautiful in front of the camera. She is also incredibly creative and will think of playful and original photo opportunities throughout the day! We are so thankful for the stunning images Jess captured and will continue to treasure and share them for years to come! Thank you so much, Jess! :) read more

Cheers Babe - OBSESSED with our engagement photos from Jessica Lynne Studios - Event Photography Near Me

Jess is AMAZING! If you are considering her for your photographer, HIRE HER. Jess was the photographer for our engagement and wedding photos, and she was fantastic. Jess is kind-hearted, fun, and has an incredible knack for making you feel at ease while she's taking photos. My fiancé and I can get a bit camera shy, but Jess had us moving around and laughing the entire time. Jess is also a total wedding expert, and saved the day with her advice when I had several last-minute wedding dress issues. Finally, her photos are gorgeous. Many of our family and friends have commented on how beautifully our wedding photos turned out, and we have Jess to thank for capturing the joy and love around us on our wedding day. We highly recommend working with Jess! read more

Jess was great! From the very beginning of the process she was super organized and laid out exactly what we needed to know about the differences in services she offered (pricing, aesthetic, etc). Her bubbly personality shines through all of her communication and matched her exactly when we finally got to meet in person. Planning a wedding from across the country isn't the easiest thing, but Jess made the photography part a breeze. She made my husband and I feel so comfortable during our wedding day as well as our guests who were also being photographed. It felt like we had been long time friends which made us all want to just continue taking pictures. Our photos came out great and make us want to do it all over again! Not only did she send us highlight pictures the day after the wedding (best surprise) but she then sent us a photo reel a few weeks later before handing us the entire collection. This made reminiscing on our big day so much fun. Highly recommend Jess if you want to ensure on having a great time! read more

Oh my gosh, I don't even know where to begin! Jess was PHENOMENAL. From initial contact to our wedding day, she was nothing but professional, sweet and thoughtful. I poked around on her website and Instagram to get a feel for her style, and after talking with her it was an easy decision to book CheersBabe for our wedding. In the months leading up to our big day, she was responsive whenever I had a question and always offered to help any way she could (even if it wasn't directly related to the wedding day photography). I truly felt like she was excited to capture our wedding. Come wedding day, I was so nervous (!)... but she was calm, cool and collected, and helped put me at ease - I think it's just in her nature. She took control, did what she had to do, and kept a smile on her face the entire time. My whole family loved her! She had an assistant with her, she was also a joy. Loved working with them both. Our wedding was on Aug. 3, and we have already received our photos. They are absolutely stunning. We didn't want a lot of cliche photos, and she totally captured the mood and our love perfectly. She has an awesome eye and style, and I couldn't be happier. We've sent the gallery to family and friends, and everyone keeps commenting on how incredible our photographer was. We didn't want your run-of-the-mill wedding photographer, and Jess was far from that. I love her quirky style and her love for love. My mother-in-law said it best to Jess - "you are a master of your trade!" Jess was just an absolute joy to work with. read more

Jess is fabulous! She was the photographer at my daughter's wedding last month in Palm Springs. She has a calming presence and made everyone feel comfortable and relaxed during the family photos, and that was truly appreciated because it can get a bit crazy with family at times!! She captured so many beautiful moments during the ceremony as well as the reception and we are forever grateful for this. Everyone who has seen the pictures comments on how perfect they are. She also somehow was able to capture a picture of everyone who attended the wedding, so we are lucky to have a photo of all the guests. I'm so happy that my daughter and son-in-law chose Jess for their special day. She's amazing! read more

I literally cannot say enough magnificent things about Jessica!!! She is so extremely talented, loyal and a true professional. Jessica has an extreme attention to detail and a true eye for her craft.

Being an industry professional myself, we set the bar very high and have extremely high standards when it comes to photography. I have been in the business for 10 years, and would high recommend Jessica not only to clients but to my own friends and family! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Jessica Lynne Studios is truly one of a kind! read more

Not only does she have a great eye and knack for curating beautiful, candid moments but she makes the entire experience feel relaxed and FUN!

My husband and I used Cheers Babe Photo for our Palm Springs Wedding last month. We are SO happy we chose Jess to capture moments from our special day and would give her a million stars if we could! We chose jess mainly for her style -- fun and creative which is exactly what we were looking for. But from the moment we booked, to the day we got our photos back, our experience with Jess was amazing! Jess has excellent communication -- she is super responsive to client needs and questions throughout the process. She also makes you feel very comfortable - I didn't feel an ounce of stress from any of the photos. Jess is also very efficient - I was nervous that we'd get off track with family photos and miss out on cocktail hour but that was not the case thanks to Jess! Jess sent us our wedding photos recently and they are so perfect. I HIGHLY recommend Cheers Babe for your wedding if you are looking to capture your wedding photos with a fun, non-cheesy vibe read more

When planning our wedding, my husband and I knew that the quality of photography was a top priority. After all, the food gets eaten, the flowers die, but the pictures will be shared and hung on walls for years to come. Having Jessica as our photographer was the BEST decision we could have made to capture our special day. The quality of photos is beyond description, and a blown up version of one of the photos she took at the ceremony that we now have hanging over our dining room table is constantly complimented by guests. Her eye for detail is astounding, and beyond her technical expertise, she is a joy to work with. She deftly navigated complicated family dynamics, moved swiftly through the photo session after the ceremony so we could get to our reception, and made each participant in the wedding party feel special. I will treasure these photos forever. read more
