About Jessica Max
Jessica Max
Big fan of dive bars, staring at the stars, forever searching for the best french fries, a blissfully cold Diet Coke, and a true midwestern why fly it's only 15 hours. You'll find me often traveling, spending time in nature, collecting rocks and shopping for vintage t-shirts. I love carefree messy in between moments, photographing my daily life on polaroids and film. I've lived a lot of places (Arizona, Arkansas, and Puerto Rico to name a few!) and have so many places that I treasure and feel at home.
As a documentary & editorial photographer, my approach is playful, relaxed, romantic and fun. I'm here for the couples who would like their wedding day honestly documented in artful images, full of heartfelt emotions, connection, and in-between moments. True to color, connection based, with a nod to those film photos that make you feel at home. I primarily reside in West Michigan during the summertime, but service the South West, Arkansas as well as Puerto Rico and anywhere that speaks to you.

This is the photographer you want
We can’t say enough wonderful things about Jessica Max Photography! Jessica is truly a woman of her craft — her creativity, professionalism, and calming presence made both our engagement session and wedding day unforgettable. From the very beginning, Jessica went above and beyond to connect with us. She even invited us out to lunch for an initial meet and greet so she could get to know us as a couple and understand the vibe and vision of our wedding. She guided us through outfit choices, encouraged us to create a fun playlist for our engagement photos, and made sure we felt comfortable and confident every step of the way. On our wedding day, Jessica was completely on top of everything — capturing each moment beautifully and naturally. She has such an intuitive sense of timing and emotion, and she truly made the entire experience feel effortless. Beyond being an incredible photographer, Jessica genuinely feels like a friend. Her artistry and attention to detail are unmatched, and we are beyond grateful to have had her capture such special memories. We wholeheartedly recommend Jessica Max Photography to anyone looking for a talented, personable, and deeply dedicated photographer!
Amazing wedding photographer

You will not be disappointed!
Response from vendor•Oct 22, 2025Hi Tammy! Thank you so so much for the wonderful review- I'm truly honored to have gotten to get know you all and spend the day celebrating along with you!So happy we chose Jessica Max!
We booked Jessica Max for our garden wedding in May, and are OBSESSED with the photos! She is so talented at capturing the most intimate and candid moments without us even knowing that she is there. We added film photos onto our package and absolutely loved how they turned out. Jessica also captured polaroid pictures throughout the wedding that we got to look at the next day, which was so much fun. It's so hard for us to pick our favorite pictures to get framed, we love them all! Jessica is a true pro and an absolute pleasure to work with. We got a sneak peak of our wedding photos a few days after the event and received the full gallery within the expected timeframe. We absolutely loved working with Jessica Max and would highly recommend her to any couple planning their wedding!
