About Jessica
I'm just a Filipina that didn't become another nurse and ended up paving my own artistic path! When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me at the gym five days a week, savoring Korean BBQ, or experimenting with new recipes — my air fryer is my kitchen MVP! I’m a big foodie with a love for Asian cuisine and discovering fresh flavors.
I also love spending time outdoors, staying cozy at home with my two mini poodles, or traveling to new places. Whether exploring nature or soaking in a new city’s vibe, these adventures fuel my creativity and inspire the stories I capture through photography.
I'm honored that you're even considering having me document your special moments. Please stay a while, have a look around and get in touch if you have any questions! I can't wait to meet you.
Aloha! I'm Jessica, but you can call me Jess.
Growing up on the lush island of Kaua'i, surrounded by golden sunsets and vibrant landscapes, shaped my eye for natural beauty and authentic moments. Now based in Portland, I carry the island’s sense of wonder into my photography, capturing not just how a moment looks but how it feels. From the breathtaking to the intimate, my journey reflects a blend of Kaua'i’s magic and Portland’s creative energy. With home bases in Kaua‘i, O'ahu, and Maui, I return often, keeping my connection to the islands alive.
Photography isn't just a job for me; it's my passion. I pour my heart and soul into every shot. With a keen eye for picturesque locations in Oregon, Washington, and Hawai'i, I guide my clients to the most stunning backdrops, ensuring their photos are as unique and memorable as their love stories - each one teaching me something new about the art of photography and the beauty of love.
As your wedding and elopement photographer, I’m here to capture your love in a cinematic style that feels as magical as the moments themselves. Whether it's an intimate PNW elopement, a Hawai'i beach wedding, or a destination celebration, I'm here to create timeless, heartfelt imagery that reflects your unique connection — wherever your love takes you.
With over 5 years of photography experience, I’ve honed my craft to beautifully capture everyone in a way that feels authentic, romantic, and deeply personal — transforming fleeting moments into art you’ll cherish forever. Let’s create a collection of photographs that tell your story beautifully and remain a lasting reflection of your unforgettable journey together.
And honestly? I absolutely love my job.
