Jessica Crandlemire Photography
collingwood, Ontario
My approach is personal, I shoot in the same way I live my life, heart on sleeve and all opened up. I love my clients and I love what I do, it's a vulnerable position to work from but it's the only way I know how and I think it shows in the images. I want people to feel something when they look at my work.

Photography is something that could be said to have found Jess more than she it. What began as a personal outlet for expression has grown into a passion driven vocation. The privilege of being allowed into someone’s most intimate and significant moments is not lost on her, nor is the ability to be a memory keeper for those moments. She fell in love with weddings because of the collision of emotion all in the space of a day. The extremes of joy and tears, the stories within stories happening all day long are exciting and inspiring. While understanding the beauty of a good portrait the thing she loves most is capturing the day as it unfolds, the moments that will hold precious memories long after the day itself is over. Every wedding is unique, just as every couple is unique. The images from the day should reflect that. Having been raised by artists Jess has learned to trust her intuition. This is apparent in her work. Her approach may be a little different, she would rather climb, scale or crawl to find the angle rather than set up equipment so don’t be surprised if you find her up a tree or laying in the grass. Her desire always, in event work, portraits, and in her personal art, is that you feel something. This is the strength she brings to her work and what she brings to your wedding day.’
