• We all have our own story. I feel like lately I’ve been telling my story more often — through life stories in our community group & preparing to speak to a high school photography class. I’m not just telling my photography journey, but MY journey. Growing up with a single parent (who is the real mvp), transferring colleges due to loneliness, putting my first camera on layaway, disordered eating, dealing with the struggle of seasonal depression, living life in community, celebrating big life leaps, and honestly just figuring out who I am in the Lord. I’m starting a series that will lead up to my 28th birthday in May and I’m honestly excited and nervous to let you all in. But here we go, taking a step in faith and sharing every little detail of my life story. “Exposed” series starting next week on the blog 💕

  • Phase 1: get outside and go hiking with your main squeezes for the morning. Phase 2: eat a huge late lunch. Phase 3: turn on golf and take a mid-day nap. Quality day around here 👌🏻

  • “Your wedding can be as simple, or extravagant, or refined, or traditional as you want it to be — because no matter how you celebrate, you'll still be married afterwards. If you can remember that, then everything else is cake.” Celebrating with Melanie and Toby in the heart of Charleston was just what these two dreamed for their wedding day. Simple, honest, and genuine to who they are. 💕#jessinicholsweddings #jessinicholsphotography

  • Spent this morning walking the streets of one of my favorite cities, celebrating the marriage of two new friends! Today had a few missteps along the way, for instance, totally stepped in freshly poured sidewalk concrete by accident. I left two deep footprints, and like my bride Melanie said, looks like I’m literally leaving my mark in Charleston forever 🥴 another day another struggle, bless it 😂

  • Let me tell you something about this past week — it was brutal. I had a stomach virus that lasted 5 solid days & it was as awful as you think. I spent a whole lot of time in bed, watched too many movies, and took more naps than I probably have in a year. I could literally only eat saltines, Gatorade, and Chickfila chicken nuggets (and def. had a meltdown over chicken nuggets at one point, definitely hit the lowest of lows haha). This guy never wavered, even during my nugget meltdown, and brought true meaning to “in sickness and in health.” Really thankful for @bradennichols7 and really, really thankful that virus is outta here. PTL for new weeks & feeling like a new human! . . . Photo by the wonderful @alexisralstonphoto 💕
