Can't wait to learn more about the two of you and see how I can serve you best.
I'm Jessica Sofranko. You can call me Jess.
Every detail, every decision that brought you two together shows up in little ways on your wedding day. It’s in the live music that sets the mood of your reception, in the way you gather all your friends and family and plan a weekend that includes them, in the private vows that maybe you two share between yourselves before the ceremony. It all fills your day and gives it intention and shape and color.
And that’s what I cannot wait to help you remember. Through a mix of natural poses, easy prompts, and vibrant candids, let’s preserve the details and emotions that made today yours.
Here’s your guide for making that happen.

Guiding When You Need It
Stepping back when you don't
I always guide you through your photography—you never have to guess what comes next or how best to pose. I’ll help you relax into your photography with prompts and easy instructions to create those editorial images you love so much. But I also make sure to never interrupt a moment. The most important thing on your wedding day is to be present. So I’ll step back when the moment calls for it and always create my photo timelines with natural moments in mind. We get super organized ahead of time so you can give yourself the freedom to be fully present in every moment and let me handle the rest.
"I'll cherish these photos all of my days"
"Jess, I cannot express how much it means to me that you are capturing the sweetest moments of my wedding!"
— Melanie & Brett
More Than Snapshots
Your wedding images turn your story into more than lifelong art
You’ve got your planner to help with a lot, but I also love sharing my recommendations and will give you tips on my favorite vendors, locations, even restaurants (the best part) and adventures to fill out your weekend experience.
All that planning and guidance means we’ll be able to create a visual story of your wedding that blends a sense of time and place to create art. Art that you’ll hang on your walls and pass down to future generations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Let's chat! After we’ve chatted, I'll prepare a personal proposal outlining a photography timeline for you and your planner as well as custom photography coverage options. Then, I'll send a digital contract for you to sign and pay a retainer fee. After that, I’m all yours. I’m excited to work with you and your vendor team to bring your vision to life.
Ooh, I definitely can help! I’ve got tons of favorites, from hikes & kayaking to breweries & wineries. And, of course, all my favorite local food.
In my decade+ of photography experience, I’ve been lucky to work with wonderful vendors across the Central Coast. Let’s chat about your needs, and I’ll share all my recommendations.
I’m part of a close network of professional photographers who all own their own businesses. It’s a fantastic community, so we rely on each other to second-shoot weddings when needed. However, I often photograph weddings alone, without sacrificing the quality of service and images I provide.
Engagement sessions are usually 3-4 weeks delivery and weddings are about 6-8 weeks usually depending on the time of season as film must be sent out for developing.
I edit images with true-to-life colors in mind so your images will be a timeless way to remember this day.
Absolutely! Holding your images physically in your hands, seeing them displayed on your walls...hits different. My hope is that your images live as daily cherished reminders of your love story in your home.
I do! While I adore the Central Coast, I’m always excited to photograph weddings up and down California, from NorCal’s forests and funky venues to the laidback, luxe vibes of Santa Barbara. If you’re getting married outside California, let’s chat! I truly love to travel, so I’m always excited to plan your wedding photography wherever you’ve decided to share your vows.
"Wow - I am just blown away"
... by how GORGEOUS the photos turned out! You did a phenomenal job and you captured so many sweet moments. My bridesmaids were gushing over the photos as well. You truly captured my vision and I'm so thankful!
