Jess Nelson The Archive Studio

FIND THE ONE WHO LIGHTS UP YOUR SOUL

Trusting me to document your love, transitions, and both big and small moments is truly an honor. What excites me the most about a wedding day is connecting with couples and their families, capturing intimate moments that resonate deeply. My background in fine art and design significantly influences my style and meticulous attention to detail. I bring an editorial, intentional, and cinematic approach to my work, ensuring every shot tells a compelling story. We all deserve to see our love portrayed in its raw and artistic form.

  • We hired The Archive Studio recently for our anniversary reception and couldn’t have been happier with our choice. They stepped in after our photographer canceled at the last minute and were so helpful, patient and professional in helping us get our event organized despite all our last minute, chaotic planning from out of state!

    They were so helpful during the reception at keeping us calm/fed/hydrated and our schedule on time. My husband and I are so uncomfortable in front of the camera but they kept us laughing and relaxed throughout! They captured THE most stunning photos, and even had our sneak-peek shots ready by the next day! They’re an incredibly talented and special duo. Would highly recommend for any photo needs!

  • Roark and Jess are so great! They made us feel comfortable throughout our shoots. They were always so accommodating as well as easy to communicate with. The photographs are so lovely and having those memories captured on film is absolutely priceless.
