We worked with Jesseca Hattey for our Engagement and Wedding photos. She was absolutely the greatest investment we made during our wedding planning. Not only is her work absolutely stunning, but she is the sweetest person you will ever work with. She checked in with endearing emails throughout my entire year of planning and always made me feel comfortable and like I was a huge priority for her. I felt like I was a fairly high-maintenance bride and she always had a solution and a smile for me!

She is quick on the turn-around-time for her edited photos and is very flexible with meetings/emails/phone-calls. She knew the perfect locations/poses for our wedding day- when the all-day rain storm forced our outdoor event inside.

Honestly, I could write an entire book about her- you will ABSOLUTELY be glad you hired her (and not just when you get yours pictures back!). I cannot wait to use her for all of our photo-needs in the future!

I LOVE Jessica Roark from Epaga FOTO! She flew to Chicago to take our engagement photos and they turned out so amazing. She even noted cool location spots on her cab ride in and she doesn't even live in Chicago. Everyone we showed the pictures to were so impressed with her skills. The wedding pictures came out even better! She captured so many wonderful moments, which are so much more meaningful and better than the standard "standing at the Church with your family" photos. We will truly treasure these pictures forever. Jessica was so wonderful to work with and made both my husband and I so comfortable in front of the camera. She gave us great tips that we still use when we take pictures together! We had a pretty big wedding party and she was able to work everyone in without it looking odd. We received our sneak peek of our wedding pictures only 18 days after our wedding day. I highly recommend Epaga FOTO!

This is the perfect photographer vendor. I can't imagine a better group of ladies to work with. We worked with Jessica Hattey for our wedding photographer. She was great, very responsive and always asking if she could do or provide any help with the wedding planning. She was on par with all of our needs and look for our wedding and pictures. I also worked with Jessica Roark and Mary Beth when doing boudoir photos. They made me feel so beautiful, sexy and comfortable. I feel that these girls are no longer a vendor but friends.

Jessica at Epaga was my favorite wedding vendor. Her creativity, demeanor, and talent are untouchable! Thank you for helping us remember the best day of our lives in full detail.

We loved working with Jesseca Hattey at Epaga Foto. The packages were affordable and flexible. Jesseca and Mary Beth were patient, flexible and entertaining. They kept us smiling on our big day. As soon as the ceremony began, I totally forgot they were there, they covered everything so well.

Best photographer ever! Jessica goes out of her way to get amazing shots and is so fun to work with! Epaga Foto is awesome and would recommend to anyone and everyone!! You won't be disappointed!

Jessica and her team are the absolute BEST - from our engagement photo shoot to the actual wedding photos! They worked their tails off and I couldn't be more happy with the way everything was handled. Jessica is so talented and her enthusiasm only added to my excitment throughout the wedding. If anyone is shopping for a photographer for their wedding they are truly missing out if they don't get Jessica and her team. #1 in my book!!!

My husband and I had an amazing experience with epaga FOTO!!! Jessica photographed a friends wedding, which is how I came across her. From the moment I saw my friends wedding photos I knew I had to have Jessica photograph my wedding! We live in southern California so we flew Jessica (and a second shooter Allyson) out for our event. Jessica was extremely professional, organized, creative and most of all fun to work with! Jessica and Allyson did an incredible job of capturing each important moment throughout the day. My husband and I absolutely LOVE our wedding photos. The end result exceeded our expectations! We have received so many compliments from friends and family on what a beautiful job epaga FOTO did. I would highly recommend Jessica and her team to any destination brides out there (and of course local brides).

We love Jessica and her team. They make, what can be awkward, a fun and special time. The photos were beautiful and we always knew that Epaga would be right there to answer questions, and make suggestions for the better of our session. We couldn't have picked a better photographer and have already signed up for additional services now that our wedding is past! :-)

Jessica is an AMAZING photographer! Will repost when we see the wedding photos--but the engagement session reflected exactly the caliber of photojournalistic art that we had seen when we selected Jessica as our photographer. We went way over budget but she was amazing to work with, and we had a ball taking pictures. Jessica is brilliant and so fun to interact with--can't WAIT to see the rest--Thank you Jessica--we know they will be extraordinary and your capture of of our wedding will provide us exquisite memories of our special day!

I truly feel that of all decisions you make when planning your wedding, two things are most important: the groom & the photographer. Wedding photographs are going to be visible in your home, your family's home, and passed down from generation to generation after you're gone.

For this reason, my husband and I are so glad that we chose epaga FOTO. Even in our engagement photo session, Jessica made us feel so comfortable. She provided the right amount of guidance without forcing us into poses that aren't how we naturally interact with each other (after all... that's what it's all about!)

On the big day, she and her associate didn't miss one single special moment. We've received so many compliments on our wedding album!

From start to finish, we couldn't be happier with our decision to work with epaga FOTO. I will recommend them to every single one of my friends who gets engaged!

First off, I would like to start by saying choosing Jessica R from epagafoto was by the far the easiest decision I made in the whole planning process. I had the pleasure of having Jessica R and Jessica H come and shoot our destination wedding in Miami, FL. Our day was captured perfectly! I didn't even notice they were there, and I never worried about where and when I needed to be there. I knew Jessica would make sure we got where we needed to be when we needed to be there. Truly made for a stress free day! The talent is unmatched and the true emotions of the day were captured so beautifully. The pictures were absolutely beautiful and so creative. The pictures truly tell the story of the wedding, so much so that we cried all over again. I could spend all day saying how great epagafoto is :) If you are a bride planning a wedding or simply needing family pictures taken, please, please, PLEASE put epagafot at the top of your list!

Truly, THE BEST. I cannot even express in words it just won't do her work justice. This girl (Jessica Roark)and her all-star team is PHENOMENAL- PHEN OM EN AL. I did not even notice she was there on my wedding day and she took photos that COMPLETELY CAPTURED my husband and I. She is the kind of photographer that immerses everything she has into her camera and see's the couple in their actual form. She will be doing all of our future family photos. AMAZING. epagafotoblog.com SEE FOR YOURSELF!

Jessica is amazing! My husband and I just loved working with her. She has an amazing eye for color and detail. She was also extremely easy to get a hold of, which is important when you're dealing with multiple vendors and tasks that need to get done! We also loved that Jessica was so professional; she was great at communicating exactly what we needed to do to get great pictures out of our day, and what to expect. Ultimately, we wound up with tons of great pictures from our special day, plus some amazing engagement portraits.

a bit more expensive than other photographers, but well worth the money!!

It's every bride's dream that one wants to look beautiful on her wedding photos, jessica and her team made my dream come true. Apart from her professional skill for capturing best moments of us, she was really fun to work with. She asked a lot of our ideas on what kind of pictures do we want to take and let us looked through the samples of her previous works. We got to know each other in no time that we worked very smoothly. I'll never forget her since she was such a wonderful person. Great work, epaga FOTO.

Jessica Roark knows what she's doing. She did a fabulous job prior to the wedding and at the wedding itself. Fun to work with and a great person. Even though she lives in Kansas City, Mo. and I live in Lawrence, Kan., (hour drive) it was always worth the trip for our visits and photo shoots. Jessica is such a sweet person that I wouldn't have traded her for another photographer for anything in the world. Her photo packages are great as well. She's the best.

Jessica and her team really was really great to work with. They were nice, calm and trustworthy. They made the work fun and they have an artistic eye for beauty. I'm looking forward to working with them in the near future.

Epaga Foto was hands down the best vendor from the start of my wedding process through the end. Epaga Foto is in my mind the best wedding photographer for so many reasons, their talent, professionalism, adaptability to clients, creativity, and out of this world service. One thing I also found is that Epaga Foto can ROCK a Destination Wedding! Jessica did my sisters wedding in Kansas City a couple years back, as a single girl I dreamt to have the pictures my older sister had. The colors, the poses, the creativity, and the wedding album I couldn’t stop admiring. Well I got engaged a couple years later and knew that I had to have Epaga Foto do my wedding even though it wasn’t in Kansas City. I had my wedding in San Francisco and Jessica and her assistant came out for it and they had done their research. They were so prepared, they had checked out all of the venues, where our first meeting spot would be and had some fabulous ideas. Jessica was so good about setting up shots, and making good decisions on things that I hadn’t thought out. She was right there to help orchestrate the best way to do things, as well as the best shots, which made the whole process click. She was even so organized to let the café that we had our first meeting know we were coming and to save us a table. My favorite thing about Jessica and her team is that it was like hanging out with your friend on your wedding day. She keeps you calm, is so easy to talk to, goes with the flow, and all in all is like another bridesmaid hanging out with you, all the while focusing on you and capturing your wedding beautifully. My biggest tribute to Epaga photo is their ability to read the couple. They can figure out the style of the couple and think through what types of shots they would like. It is honestly amazing, their creativity is outstanding! All in all I want to let you know the process has been great, Epaga Foto went over and beyond for my wedding and proved that they are so solid with their talent and did a stellar performance on a destination wedding. They captured the most beautiful, breath taking shots of San Francisco while still focusing on the bride and groom. I am ecstatic about Epaga Foto’s overall performance and cannot wait to recommend them to some newly engaged couples in the near future!

Feedback says it all, I recently posted my wedding pictures and these are some of the comments; keep in mind some from guys who would never look at wedding pictures, and people who did not attend the wedding:

“Not even joking, these are the best wedding photographs I have ever seen. Completely blew me away. There was a story in there as opposed to just being random shots from your wedding. So Good!”

“This is a beautiful photograph! Something out of a San Francisco History Book”

“Seriously the most creative and beautiful wedding photos I have ever seen”

When searching for the BEST vendors for my Destination Wedding, I chose Epaga FOTO--- even though she would have to travel from Kansas City to my Florida beach wedding, it was worth it! It was one of the best decisions I made in my wedding planning. Choosing Epaga Foto gave me confidence and peace of mind throughout my wedding planning and wedding day, that my Wedding Photography was in the hands of one of the best in the industry. Having that trust in your vendors is priceless, especially when choosing your Wedding Photographer! -- the photos are one of the only pieces of the wedding that you have afterwards to relive that special day through ---- it's so worth choosing the best!!! Working from out-of-town was so smooth and easy with Epaga Foto, Jessica was always quick to respond, great to communicate with, and delivered our finished products in great time!

From start to finish the weekend of the wedding, Jessica and her assistant were prepared, organized, and a joy to be around. They captured the most beautiful photos of the us (bride and groom) on the beach at sunset! Their creativity is excellent! They captured every moment that I want to relive from my wedding day, with such creativity and beauty.

One of the things that really impressed me about Jessica was her ability to take a look at a place and pick out the story to tell through her camera lens. She had creative ideas for our photo's, that not only look beautiful, but also tell your unique wedding day story. That creativity mixed with excellence in skill to me is priceless. She has the eye for capturing people and details of your wedding with such beauty, while also posing you in places and postures that create a cinematic event (and keeping you looking gorgeous)! I feel like I'm the leading lady star in a romantic love story every time I look through my wedding photos. She'll capture your beauty, she'll capture the ambience, the story, the people, the details. The photos are so gorgeous, and I will treasure them always! Thank you Jessica for capturing one of the most important days of my life so excellently, and beautifully!

As another testimony to how awesome this Photographer vendor is, my parants were so impressed with Epaga Foto's quality that they booked her for my sister's wedding, another out of town wedding in the city of Pittsburgh, PA!

Everyone who has seen our wedding photos is blown away by them. They look like something from a magazine, truly beautiful and professional. Just visit her website and you'll see why we chose Epaga Foto!

I can't say enough good things about Jessica and her staff. From our very first meeting I knew that I couldn't imagine anyone else shooting our wedding. She was a dream to work with and you can see and feel the passion she has for her work. She produced nothing but creative, memorable, and perfect photographs for us. All of the pictures together really capture every wonderful moment of that day. We've had so many compliments on our pictures and lots of requests for photographer info. Not only was her work amazing, but she really made us feel like we were her only customers and her only priority. She did everything she could to customize our experience to exactly what we wanted and needed. She was easy to communicate with and very flexible. She really made us feel more like friends than clients. I was so happy with our photographer experience and would recommend Jessica to anyone!

Jessica, Janet and the rest of the epaga FOTO team were phenomenal! Not only were my new husband and I just over the moon about our photos, but we developed such a wonderful relationship with Jessica. She truly gets to know her clients, and as soon as you book Jessica Roark as your photographer the fabulous experience begins. We really feel like we formed a friendship with her, something that was very unexpected when you book a wedding photographer. She was not just a photographer in the background during our wedding, she truly was a part of our wedding day. She took the time to get to know not just the bride and groom, but everyone important in our lives. My hubby and I look through our engagement pictures, wedding album and the pictures from our wedding day all of the time, because they really do a great job capturing the entire day. Jessica is so exceptional at her craft. If you want to meet an extraordinary woman and photographer, please book Jessica Roark from epaga FOTO.

Jessica Roark is absolutely wonderful! She was extremely patient, kind, and supportive on our wedding day and became a fun part of the day. Her photos are breathtaking. She captures every single detail-the major and all the minor ones of the day. She made both of us look great and found some special places that really showcased her art. Everyone that saw my photos commented on the amazing colors she found and had us pose by and the way the photos are so incredibly unique. One of the best advantages we also found was that she provided us with the copyrights (without an additional fee) for every single photo. This was extremely important to us, because the photos are so amazing, we want to showcase them every where we can! We are so glad that Jessica was a part of our special day!

Jessica Roark of EpagaFoto is such a talented photographer and really fun to work with. You can tell she has a passion not only for photography, but for people and that she really cares to get to know who she is working with. We hired Jessica for my wedding summer of 09... I have gotten compliment after compliment on the photography. I also have had several brides-to-be contact me to see who I used because they loved the pictures. Jessica is organized and easy to work with. She makes sure to have a schedule of exactly what is going on through out the day and specific shots you want her to get, but is very flexible as well and can easily go with the flow. She was very upfront with me in letting me know the timeline of everything, including when the pictures would be ready, etc.
This is not the first time my family has used EpagaFoto and it won't be the last either!

After extensive online research, checking with past clients, and a reassuring interview with owner Jessica Roark, we easily decided to book epaga FOTO. Now that the wedding is over, and with the clarity of hindsight, all I can say is we were so smart! Jessica and her team captured the best moments of the day, with such clever and artistic angles. We were amazed at the brilliant images when we got to review the photos. Talent--check! Also, Jessica delivered on all scheduling details and timeline promises. I was surprised on how fast she wanted to move on the album (I had heard stories of friends having to bug their photographer for a year to get their album done). Integrity--check! Last, Jessica and her team are all beautiful, down-to-earth people. They helped my now-husband and I be completely comfortable and enjoy the day. They were unobtrusive, yet managed to capture everything. So, a pleasure to work with--check! All in all, we wouldn't change a thing about our photography selection. epaga FOTO captured our day in a wondrous way we couldn't have imagined. They were so good, I'm still positive they made the sun come out and storm clouds disappear on what was forecasted to have been a rainy day!

Jessica was very professional and organized. She helped outline our day around photos so it made scheduling everything much easier. Her photos are new and fresh!

Epaga foto was not only professional and great to work with, but they were so much fun! They really take the time to get to know you as a couple, and then take pictures that match your individual style. If you like photo journalism, this is the photographer for you- the pictures are a perfect representation of the entire event! Jessica and her staff are wonderful, and I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a photographer. I had numerous people at my wedding tell me how awesome the photographers were...and I have to say that I agree! Thanks Epaga foto for a wonderful experience!

Jessica did an amazing job. Not only was she incredibly professional, she also was a joy to work with. We had a blast while she was taking pictures of us in both our engagement session and on our wedding day - and it definitely shows in the beautiful pictures she took. She's got an amazing eye for small details and artistic photographs, while still doing an outstanding job taking the "traditonal" portraits. Having her present added to our wedding day - and we have beautiful images to remember that day forever.

I had a very good experience with Jessica. When we first met I felt like we were instant friends. She gave me recommendations for other wedding vendors which was a huge help. Most importantly, our pictures are amazing. Every image is beautiful and the collection tells the story of our wedding day perfectly. I wanted someone different for our wedding photos and knew that is what I would get with Jessica. Her and Jessica Hattey were such fun to work with on the day of the event as well. They were everywhere and caught everything perfectly. Jessica did a great job keeping us on schedule as well as getting all the shots we wanted. I could not be more happy with the images she produced and have had compliments from everyone who views them.

It was great working with Jessica on our wedding day and before. She and her team are amazing!

They were very sweet to talk with; extremely sincere. Pricey, but we were really happy with our pictures. We'd use them again.

Jessica and her staff were wonderful to work with. Her work is brilliant, i absolutely loved my pictures. She was so much fun to work with, made me feel at ease, I never had to worry for one second that something wasn't being captured or taken care of. Thanks Jessica for all your hard work and time!
To any future brides reading this, my advice would be to enjoy yourself and let the professionals do their jobs, you will have a much better time and the pictures will show it!

Jessica Roark and Jessica Hattey are wonderful photographers with an eye for perfection. What a pleasure to work with both of these ladies. They captured all of the beauty of my wedding and gave it to me on paper to treasure forever.

I couldn't have been happier with the results! Our pictures are amazing, but I am not suprised because epagaFOTO strives to give you exceptional service on your "big day". The entire epagaFOTO team was great to work with.

I was recommended to epaga FOTO by a college classmate. My husband and I were so impressed from the first moment we met Jessica. She far surpassed our expectations and every other competitor we spoke with. We have had so many complements from our friends and family about epaga's interaction during the wedding and their amazing ability to capture all the little and big moments of the day with such style and grace. Seriously, look no farther, epaga FOTO is the best choice.

I HIGHLY recommend Epaga Foto! Jessica O'Rourke's quality of service is exceptional. Jessica is very professional and at the same time, has the ability to place her clients immediately at ease upon the first meeting. Which is really amazing because planning a wedding can be stressful! Epaga Foto had a subtle way of guiding events of the wedding day to keep us on track with time, but also blending into the background and allowing the bride, groom and their family to take center attention. She has great attention to detail, breathtaking style and was a pleasure to work with. From our very first meeting, to picking up our BEAUTIFUL pictures after the wedding and honeymoon was over, we had a great experience!

Jessica is an incredibly talented photographer. Of all the vendors we need at our weddings, photographer was the most important to me. And she was great. She does a fabulous job of catching all the emotions of the day in an artsy, timeless way. I would 100% choose her again and I plan on using her for any future family photos as well.

Epagafoto is one of the best group of photographers and designers in Kansas City. Jessica Roark the owner is so great! She really pays attention to things you like and does a great job taking photographs that fit your personality. Her and her team of photographers worked their butt off on the day of our wedding and the photos turned out great!

My husband and I really enjoyed working with Epaga Foto for our wedding in December of 2007! We definitely splurged on our wedding photographer (exceeded our budget by a bit) but felt that a photographer was a very important element to our day - we were not disappointed. The coffee table album is a huge hit and everyone that I have shown it off to says how incredible it is. Jessica and Jesseca captured so many precious moments throughout the day and we are very thankful that we chose Epaga Foto to be our wedding photographer. We plan to use them throughout other milestones in our lives for years to come.

I loved working with Epaga photo! At least once a week I look at my wedding pictures which capture the evening perfectly! I also love the album it turned out better than I ever could of imagined. The whole team was so wonderful to work with, and made you feel so at ease on such a crazy day.

epaga FOTO was awesome. Jessica is so great to work with and our pictures turned out wonderful. Photographers are a little pricey, but epaga was so worth it.

Jessica and her team are AWESOME! I don't know what I would have done without her through the whole process. When I met with Jessica for the first time I knew that I would not only have a wonderful photographer at the wedding but that I also was going to develop a friendship with her and that is exactly what happened. I was able to have a photographer and a friend on this special day. Jessica not only wanted to be my photographer but she made herself available for advice and gave me great referrals to other great vendors. The pictures from my engagement session, boudir and wedding were breathtaking and still bring tears evreytime I look at them. I can't wait to work with Jessica in the future and would recommend her to anyone that not only wants a photographer but someone that will take care of every detail throughout the process.

Epaga Foto was by far the best vendor that we booked for our wedding. Not only were we 1000% satisfied and in love with our engagement and wedding photos; but our family and friends raved about them as well. If you are looking for a photojournalistic approach to wedding photography, they really tell the "story" of your wedding day beautifully. I look back at our wedding album and it just perfectly captures the mood of the whole day. I also have many framed shots that look more like works of art than photos! Our wedding photos really were breathtaking, and it's all thanks to the talent at Epaga. They are always professional and also take the time to get to know the couple. I think this close relationship helps them to better capture the emotion of the wedding day, because they take the time to get to know you. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Jessica and the staff at Epaga Foto. I would book them again in a heartbeat and am currently recommending them to all my friends who are planning a wedding.

Jessica and her staff are amazing to work with! I have nothing but good things to say about them. They made everything simple, from the intial consultation, engagement photos, wedding day, album process...everything was wonderful! I couldn't have imagined better people to be a part of my special day (not to mention, the photos are beautiful!)

By far, this was my favorite vendor. It was one of our only splurges, and it was worth every penny.

Jessica is not only an amazing photographer, she was so friendly and easy to get along with, it was like having another friend to hang out with on my wedding day.

The pictures are incredible. The coffee table book is amazing - everyone we show it to is floored. It was definitely worth the money.

We were so happy with Epaga foto!! We love our pictures and loved the time we spent leading up to our wedding day!

We were really pleased with our pictures. Jessica is friendly and accomodating. She has lots of great ideas and is extremely easy to work with. We highly recommend epagafoto!

epaga foto was the best vendor choice I made during our wedding. Best yet is that we have beautiful photos we can keep to show family, friends, and grand children. During the wedding Jessica blended in so well that I hardly noticed she was there. The result: spectacular candid photos that show how much fun we had! Jessica also took our engagement photos. The day they were scheduled for came around and was horrible - cold and windy. Jessica rescheduled our session understanding and valuing the importance or the session. Everytime I contacted her she called back promptly. She has solid business skills reflected in that she knew what I wanted/needed before I did. She is very organized and presents her business services well. We spent an hour at her location interviewing her during which time she presented a sample of all packages and wedding books she had. We will continue to use epaga foto for our family photos - we had family photos taken this summer - and for our childrens' photo sessions.

My pictures turned out great!

Husband: Epaga is really good at candid shots. The event photography was great. Capturing the moments at the reception was awesome. The ceremony shots were cool. The wedding party portraits were good, except all individual photos of me with my groomsmen were OUT OF FOCUS. The family portraits were good, but the lighting wasn't great (in an old church--most likely more the venue's fault than the photographer's). I agree with my wife about the wedding album.

Wife: I edit photos for a living and her work is by far above average and I was very satisfied with it. I thought the photos were gorgeous and we've had dozens of people ask us for a referral. My only complaint would be the album design. The quality of the materials is nice and the photos are beautiful, but we don't like the design. Overall, I would highly recommend Epaga Foto. They did a great job.

Epaga Foto does all of our family photography, and they do an awesome job. They are not your typical photographers. Very creative, and we have a very large shot of our family hanging over the fireplace. It looks like art hanging on the wall. Thanks guys!

I have worked with Jessica as a videographer at a couple of weddings and she was great to work with. I admire her work and look forward to working with her again.

Jessica captures not only the big moments, but all the little moments that make up your wedding day. You'll enjoy looking through the photographs of details and the moments you may have missed. She is a pleasure to work with and puts the wedding party at ease.
