No two weddings are the same, and neither is my approach to capturing yours. I love nothing more than creating space for moments to naturally unfold. I aim to make your day feel effortless and free of feeling like every second needs to be perfect with guidance when needed and plenty of chances for you two to do your thing. I love preserving the day exactly how it felt and helping you relive it in every single frame.

From lots of humans and epic backdrops to big venues or backyards with your closest, the beauty about my wedding collections is that they’re structured so we have more than enough time on your day. You’ll never have to worry about running out of time when we work together.

I’m all about the untraditional, the unexpected, the “we do our wedding day our way” energy. Your love is yours, and if that means exchanging vows in an epic location at the Oregon Coast amongst the Douglas Firs, a short and sweet courthouse ceremony with your fam, or heading to your favorite spot with just the two of you, my elopement collection is totally custom to your day.
Elopements

Engagement? Anniversary? Just because? I’m there. I love capturing couples where they feel the most at ease, so whether that’s barefoot on the beach, in your home, or in a session filled with meaningful stops, the choice is yours and you can absolutely count me in.

We’ll get to all the details, like timelines and locations later, but for now, I’m always an email, text or call away if you need anything at all. As we get to know each other over the coming weeks and months, know that I’m here to make this easy and most importantly, fun.
Call it Official

After our call, I’ll pass along a customized proposal detailing how our time together (and your day) come to life. Once you’ve signed the contract and paid your deposit, your date has been secured and you can count me in!
Confirm the Details

Once you’ve had a chance to browse around, fill out my form here to begin the process. I’ll then send more details about my approach, photography collections and invite you to connect on a call. This call is very casual and a great opportunity to ask away and share your vision.

My Process
01
A 25% non-refundable retainer fee is due, along with a signed contract to ensure your date is saved in my calendar. After that, we can divide your remaining 75% between one, two, or three payments due one month before your wedding date.
How much does it cost to pay to reserve our date?
Absolutely! I love shooting in film and include it in all of my wedding packages. For my couple or elopement collections, you can choose to add it on and add as many film rolls as you’d like. One roll has 36 images, and you can choose from black and white, color, or a mix of both.
Do you shoot in film, too?
Yes! We can add additional hours to your wedding package, a second shooter, an engagement session, bridal portraits, film photography, and the list goes on. You’ll receive more details about my a la carte offerings when I send your proposal through!
Do you have a la carte offerings?
You can expect your full wedding gallery delivered within 8-10 weeks! The best part though, is you'll receive 50+ photos within a week after your wedding day. :)
When will we get our photos back?
You will have access to your photos for up to one year; however, I always recommend downloading them to multiple locations (Google Photos, hard drive, etc.).
How long will we have access to our photos?
Second shooters are never a bad idea! I leave that decision up to you, though, but depending on the venue, location where the bridal party will be getting ready, and how important photos are to you, I usually recommend a second shooter. I’m happy to talk through this further on our initial call!
Do we need a second shooter?
These are depending on your chosen destination and type of session. Any destination more than 30 miles outside of Seattle (98107 zip code) will include travel fees for gas and, if necessary, lodging, ferry or plane tickets. For weddings, all travel fees are included in my packages. Another (and more affordable) option is to meet me on any of my adventures for a discount on your travel fee. You can see my upcoming travel schedule and wish list here.
What are your travel fees?
I try not to give an exact number for the number of photos you will receive, but I do deliver every good photo I take! Typically, that ends up being around 75-100 images per hour.
How many photos will we receive?
Each of my cameras has two SD card slots and writes to each card simultaneously. When I get home, I also back up your cards on two separate hard drives, and I keep your cards safe until after I deliver your full gallery. So that is four different places your photos are saved!
How can you ensure my photos are safe?
I got you! Feel free to email me at jjwilkinsphoto@gmail.com, and I’ll get back to you shortly.

A TOAST TO REMEMBER
Kevin + Sarah
My husband and I cannot recommend JJ enough. As a wedding photographer, she has a unique eye and captures minute details and meaningful moments between people that others may not notice. She is organized, prepared, and not easily swayed by changes to timeline and other obstacles. She carries herself confidently, able to gather large groups of family members of photos, but also gracefully and sweetly. She is incredibly approachable and makes photo-taking a breeze. She has all the gear she needs and nothing more - never in your face with lights and frills - but quietly capturing your day exactly as it unfolds.
"We didn't realize how important it would be to have a photographer with whom we could be friends. Having this made our wedding day so easy."
Emily + Scott
I cannot say enough good things about JJ. She made our wedding day so special and the photos are INCREDIBLE. Her style is worlds better from what you’ll get from others - it is natural and stunning. You want a photographer who can keep things moving, capture the important moments, and be someone you’d want to hang out with for hours and that was JJ to a T!! She exceeded all our expectations and we feel so lucky to have gotten to work with her.

JJ was AMAZING. I would hire her again and again. I felt like she really understood my heart for our wedding and was a seamless and natural part of our day. She was even willing to come along for an early morning wakesurf sesh with me and my bridesmaids. I will cherish these pictures forever!!

Emma + Ryan
Could not recommend JJ highly enough!! Not only will you receive stunning, jaw dropping, immaculate photos but you will also have the best time working with her! JJ shot both our engagement and wedding photos and does an amazing job of making the experience feel like we’re just friends hanging out rather than a photo shoot. I remember both my husband and I wondering if we had even gotten any good shots afterwards because JJ makes it so fun and you forget the camera is even there! But of course when the gallery came we were blown away by how the photos transported us right back to how we felt on the day.
