Hello, I'm Jess
Wedding Photographer
Hello! My name is Jess Slavkova, and I am a wedding, couple, and lifestyle photographer in the Minneapolis area. I have been doing photography for 10 years. I started my freshman year of high school and have never lost sight of my dream. When I got married, the entire process made me fall in love with weddings even more. I became inspired to create a space that not only allows me to connect with people, but also to be able to help capture their stories in a way that feels authentic.
My favorite thing about being a photographer is connecting with people and being able to capture their most precious moments. I feel so blessed to get to work with so many amazing couples and families. When I started photography, I wanted to be a part of something bigger. I wanted to create something that emulates love, authenticity, and the human experience.
Photography, for me, is so much more than taking beautiful pictures; it’s an experience. It is important to me to not only create a memory for you but also to preserve this version of you, and the fleeting moments that bring meaning to your life. I strive to create images that are deeply rooted in your story.
There is so much beauty to be lived in this life and I am so grateful to have the opportunity to share it with you!
 
I am a proud Christian
 
I live to serve God in all that I do, and it is an absolute honor to serve my clients in a way that feels meaningful. I hope to leave a lasting impression on each individual I come across and to be able to share the message of the gospel in the way I tell each love story through my work.
"The Gospel is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes."
Romans 1:16

Alongside me is my husband Stoyan and together we are passionate artists fixed on capturing life's most beautiful moments. Our love story started 8 years ago, in a photography class in high school. Our first time ever hanging out together was a photoshoot for our photography projects.
Both our love story and passion for photography have grown over the years and we always knew we wanted to work together. With a shared love for storytelling through the lens, we specialize in creating timeless images that resonate with authenticity and emotion. Our journey in photography has been a blend of creativity and connection, whether it's weddings, engagement sessions or portraits, we approach our couples with a commitment to deliver stunning visual narratives of their unique love story that they will cherish forever.
