I do not even know where to start with the subject of :  JESSICA CLAIRE

She has always been a photographer that I have admired tremendously and only dreamed of possibly being able to meet her one day!

My trip to California was planned entirely around my seat at her first ever photography workshop!

It exceeded all my expectations… and more!

Even though I totally felt like I was walking into a celebrity’s home, I was greeted at the top of the stairs by one of the kindest and warmest person I have ever met!  It was such a pleasure to be in her presence and learn from one of the very best!

Nothing was held back on this gorgeous day.  Not only did we have valuable classroom time, Jessica had completely arranged a mock wedding to give us the opportunity to photograph by her side complete with details that would make your head spin!!

Our models for the day were Gena and Jeff Patten and they were adorable and so in love!  When they looked at each other it simply would make your heart smile!  They were so at ease and went out of their way to let each of the photographers that attended the workshop,  capture their beautiful images.  At their own wedding they did not have professional photography and this day had to make up for that and even more!
