Jess Buckley

Hi! I’m Jess. I approach wedding photography with a photo journalistic eye, seeking out the authentic experiences of your day rather than fabricated moments. I shoot mostly film, medium format and 35mm, as well as a little bit of digital, to create timeless imagery that ages gracefully. Alongside weddings, I also run a tintype photography business. I offer the option to add on custom tintype portraits for weddings within a 6 hour driving radius of Portland. I am trained as a fine art photographer, studying at the School of Visual Arts in NYC, and SFAI. I now live in the small town of Washougal, WA on the edge of the Columbia River Gorge.

I make photos with an artful and honest approach, to remind you 10 weeks or 10 years later what it felt like to be there. I hope to turn those overlooked in-between moments of your day into art worthy of a professional framing and hung on your wall. I won’t ask you to pose for a million photos or always tell you to look at the camera and smile. I will let you be present and enjoy every minute of your wedding to the fullest, and be there to capture it exactly as it was, all the joy and love and emotion, with a few posed portraits thrown in too. I look forward to telling your wedding story.
