Silke: Jessica! This was the post on TheKnot that led me to you! I still can remember calling you and asking you to shoot our wedding! You and Becker were amazing and we still feel so lucky to have had you there that day to capture our wedding! 2.26.10, 10:40AM
Rebecca Crumley: I remember this wedding! It was a good example (and still is!) of what we look for in destination weddings on the knot. The local flair, details, and of course lovely images. I also seem to recall the bride referring to her cake as "ugliest cake ever." LOL :) Nice memory!
2.17.10, 12:44PM Diana: Hi Jessica! Before your 5D, what did you use?
2.17.10, 10:52AM Jan: LOVE the last shot!
2.12.10, 2:38PM susan: what lens did you use? 2.11.10, 1:21PM
Alex Albojer: Great photos! I love the ones in the water!
2.11.10, 9:54AM Denise @ Raw Brides: Wow - absolutely gorgeous photos. I never thought about having a day after shoot. Mainly because I was bleary eyed, cranky and heading on a flight to Singapore with my hair still pinned...
Love the shot of you submerged in water up to your neck. That's commitment to a great shot!
2.11.10, 7:34AM marriage: I am a very big fan of watching the wedding photos.These are really nice and attractive wedding photos.The last photo is simply breathtaking.I love the place too!Thanks for sharing those photos..
2.10.10, 8:49PM cheryl: Thank you so much for posting these photos! I was a "knottie" back then and your photos inspired my destination wedding. In fact I would never have had the beautiful wedding I did if it wasn't for your photos. Thanks so much for sharing them again. 2.8.10, 7:23PM
Fallon: Hi Jess, I remember Preston and Teresa very very well! I just so happend to be on theknot when that post went up, it was mayhem! Thousands of brides fell in love with your work instantly! I was 19 at the time, studying jewelry manufacturing and design (I'd wanted to be a jeweler for as long as I could remember) but I was miserable... I saw the images of the two of them laying on the sand 'making out' in the crashing waves and that was it! I was sold! No more jewelry... I enrolled in photography at the beginning of 2005 and havent looked back! I love what I do! I will be forever greatful to Jessica Claire, Preston & Teresa, 3 total strangers who changed my life for the better! Thank you Thank you Thank you!

2.4.10, 6:19PM Simone Anne: Hey Jess, I'm one of your biggest fans. I love your awesome style and your amazing personality. I'm wondering if maybe I could get a copy of that photo of you taking the photo with your signature on it? I want to hang you on my wall for inspiration! (: Best, Simone

2.3.10, 4:00PM Jennifer: You give hope to aspiring photographers! If a photog as fabulous as you have improved so immensely over the past 6 years . . . maybe I will be able to be half as good in twice as much time. =)

2.3.10, 3:09PM julia: awesome shots:) i love her dress. I'm a short thin girl and it's nice to see how great someone with a body type like that can look in a wedding dress.. I cant wait to pick out my own dress. I was so worried that a dress would over take me...
2.3.10, 3:05PM Catharine: oh, I would be so nervous I would drop my camera in the water!
2.3.10, 3:02PM Molly: I'm wondering how you did that without drenching your camera! I would have probably forgot I had it in my hand!
