Welcome. Bienvenue.

Hi, my name is Jessica Peterson & I was born and raised in Kansas City and have studied, lived, and traveled all over this crazy world. I have been shooting weddings & portraits for over 5 years professionally in the Kansas City area. I accept 30 weddings per year and there is no travel fee for those living in either KC or AZ.

I studied Fashion Photography in NYC *some* years back at FIT and do my best to keep fresh with fashion trends which I hope reads as the golden threads of beauty throughout my imagery. I am a wife, a friend, an aunt, an animal lover, a vegetarian, an adreanaline junkie and a romantic. I love reading, shopping, eating, dancing, indie rock, trip hop, jeff de bruges chocolates, lip gloss, traveling & meeting new people from different spaces than my own.

I hope in this blog you can find information, inspiration, a laugh, a cry, a wedding photographer ;) & a friend. Please feel free to leave comments as often as you like, its comparable to free icecream on a late summer afternoon to receive comments from my readers!! yummmm, amarena gelato***yes, please!


Thank you for taking the time to learn a little more about me & my work, if you have any questions about my services please feel free to call me anytime; p913.232.3729.

Erica & Devin.

A quick preview of last weekend’s engagement session of Erica & Devin. We got to sit down after the session and get to know each other over some warm lattes…completely delightful. So looking forward to sharing in their happy day.

Vibrance.

Stumbling upon old pictures of Rio de Janeiro brought me exactly back to its excited bustle, sensual heat, beautiful faces, foreign sounds and vibrant, colorful life. When do I return..

Wedding Video.

We all know how important photography is on your wedding day. It takes the moments of one of your most lovely days that will sweep by you, and keeps them alive and living on for years and years and years. I hold wedding videography in the same highest regard as I do wedding photography. Hearing the voices, watching the movement of familiar mannerisms, and seeing all of your closest family and friends get down on the dance floor on video is as good as if you were stepping back into that very day- even fifty years from now. There is nothing like it. Please, hire a videographer. I promise you won’t regret the lifelong return of smiles and laughter on investment.

I found this wedding video by Cana Productions. It is so beautiful for so many reasons but especially because they are so comfortable in their high-rise love. I wish everyone a love like this..
