Hi! I’m Jess. I honestly can’t remember a time in my life without cameras. My grandparents kept me stocked with disposable cameras and upgraded my point-and-shoots every Christmas (shh, it was a secret from my cousins). They even got me my first DSLR—though that one was a surprise to my grandma too. Thanks, grandpa!

I’m originally from Minnesota, though apparently you won’t notice my accent until I actually say “Minnesota”! Bryant and I connected on Instagram through our mutual love of exploring and documenting abandoned buildings. When he asked me to move here and start filming weddings with him, I couldn’t resist. Our dream is to eventually settle down in an 1800s homestead, where the first order of business will definitely be honey bees!

I’ll admit, when Bryant first suggested filming a wedding on Super 8, I thought he was a little crazy. I never expected to completely fall in love with it. I may have taken over Super 8 from him, but let’s be honest—it’s for the best, because we both agree I do it best! What began as Bryant filming cinematic weddings has evolved into us creating home movie vibes that feel instantly nostalgic, no matter the medium.

Bucket List: I’d love to film a proposal on Super 8, especially if it’s in the mountains or surrounded by wildflowers.
