Welcome, I'm Jess, the artist behind Jeku. I started Jeku in 2017, with a brand new camera and love for the craft. My work is inspired by the visual storytelling of cinema, modern presence of fashion editorials, beauty of classical paintings, and the emotional capture of film photography. I photograph with both film and digital mediums because, to me, there is nothing better than albums filled with crisp luxurious and soft authentic photos to fully tell your story.
My photos are for couples who want more than documentation, they want to be seen through an artist’s perspective. I work closely with each couple, shoot personally, and carefully compose every final digital and film frame myself to preserve your story. Every frame is designed to last as art.
I take on up to 20 celebrations a year with bookings opening up 18 months in advance for each calendar year.
THE ARTIST BEHIND THE LENS
Your final images will be delivered via digital gallery. Within the gallery is an option to select local print shops or well-known brands to directly order custom albums, prints, framed prints, calendars, cards, etc.
How will we receive our photos? Can we make an album or prints?
01
I. Backup equipment: camera bodies, lenses, flashes, etc.
II. Digital images are shot with dual recording where each photo taken is saved onto two cards, and backed up on physical hard drives stored up to 6 months.
III. Film images are taken on different camera bodies, using separate rolls, and processed by a lab I have worked with for almost a decade. Negatives are scanned and corrected by me, and stored for up to 6 months.
How do you keep our images safe?
02
I take on up to 20 celebrations a year, and open my calendar for bookings 18 months in advance. Timing is personal to each couple, some book in advance, while others are looking closer to their date.
How far in advance should we book out?
03
For film, I use a mix of medium format and 35mm, chosen for their reliability and beautiful images. For digital, my Canon R5 Mark II is always on me, and if the local laws allow, I love to use my drone.
What cameras do you shoot on?
