Meet Bidlack Photography

Hi! I’m Jess, a Baltimore-based photographer. I love to shoot portraits, weddings, food, and more!

I love creating beautiful images that will be cherished forever and providing a photography experience that is relaxed and enjoyable for everyone I work with.

I am as comfortable with cozy lifestyle sessions at home as I am with providing guidance with posing while shooting in the studio. Small, intimate weddings and elopements are my favorite, in which I often favor a documentary style of shooting so I can capture all of the emotion and authenticity of your day.

We’ll work as a team to make sure your vision for your photos comes to life. If you’re ready to start discussing your photo shoot, start by sending me a message here. We’ll discuss your vision, scheduling, and I’ll send you a questionnaire to make sure I learn all of the important details about you and everything you want to get out of your session with me!

Having John and Jessica shoot our wedding was like having two friends do the honors- it just so happened that these friends happened to be really good at taking pictures. When a medical emergency meant that we needed to revise the photo schedule 3 days ahead of the wedding, they were able to accommodate by arriving earlier than planned. They have a great way of encouraging people to be themselves in front of the camera- they gave this pair of introverts enough direction to set up some great pictures, but otherwise kept the portraits from feeling performative or scripted. And, they delivered photos like these a week in advance of the estimated delivery date. They were fabulous to work with in all respects and I'm so glad that we chose them to capture the memories of our day!

John and Jessica were perfect. They shot our wedding at Westminster Hall in Baltimore, MD on October 29, 2016. We honestly could not have asked for a better team to work with. Multiple people at the wedding complimented how nice and professional they were and also well they blended into the crowd. The funny part is I don't even remember actually seeing them take any of the fantastic candid shots they got, which is a testament to how good they really are. We got our pictures back in a very timely fashion and they are fantastic. From our first meeting until the handing over of our photos it was the perfect experience. As an added bonus they provided us with a beautiful wooden carved box with our prints along with the USB containing the files. This was on top of the online gallery. The pricing was extremely competitive, honestly a steal with their skill level. We are just so happy and pleased with their service I could go on for days. Hire them. That's really the best advice I could give any soon to be married couple!

BP captured the big and small awesome moments that we would have missed, with fun, beautiful, artful shots. They were flexible and unobtrusive; they understood what we wanted-unique, candid shots of guests and wedding party alike, and delivered more than we expected. We look through our shots often, and feel like we're right back there, having a blast! We felt well-cared-for and highly recommend Bidlack Photography.
