it’s nice to meet you

Hey, I’m Jess!

Owner of Jess Corbett Photography — perfectionist, animal lover, passionate storyteller, donut enthusiast and a devoted fan of all things Harry Potter and Disney.

My love for photography began at a young age, snapping endless photos on disposable film and early digital cameras. That passion only grew stronger over the years, eventually leading me to attend film school, where I immersed myself in everything from photography to filmmaking and television production. After graduating and spending a few years working in the film industry, I realized my heart belonged behind the camera—capturing real moments, real people, and real love.

In 2015, I founded Jess Corbett Photography, based in beautiful Thunder Bay, Ontario. I specialize in couples, engagements, and wedding photography. I believe in capturing the kind of photos that bring you back to the joy of simple, authentic moments. The ones you can’t wait to print, frame, and hang on your walls—photos that tell your story and stay with you for a lifetime.

 

Whenever I pick up my camera, my goal is to capture more than just beautiful images — I want to tell a story. One filled with emotion, connection, and the unique beauty of both the people in front of the lens and the world around them.

I pour my whole heart into every session, making sure each couple not only walks away with photos worthy of a magazine spread, but with an experience that makes them feel truly seen, celebrated, and deeply loved.

From the first message to the final gallery delivery, I’m right there with you — hyping you up, keeping things stress-free, and making sure your most meaningful moments are captured with care, intention, and a little bit of magic. Whether it’s the quiet in-between glances, the wild laughter, or the tearful vows — I’m here for it all.

This isn’t just about taking photos. It’s about building a connection, creating a safe space, and documenting your love in a way that feels effortless and genuine. I want you to look back on your photos and feel everything — the joy, the butterflies, the comfort, the adventure.

If you’re looking for more than just a photographer — if you’re looking for a friend to laugh with, cry with, and cheer you on through every step of your journey — you’ve found your girl.

sharing my heart

it started with a kiss

Meet Andrew.

This handsome guy is my husband and biggest cheerleader. We were both born and raised in Thunder Bay, and believe it or not — we met at the airport! From the moment I met him, I just knew we were meant to be.

Andrew works in aviation as a pilot (which is perfect, because we both love to travel!). You might catch glimpses of him in my behind-the-scenes Instagram stories, or see him in action at sessions and weddings — he often joins me as a second shooter or assistant.

He’s my whole heart, my best friend, and the most supportive partner I could ever ask for. I’m beyond grateful to share this life and this business with someone so special.

We’re also incredibly lucky to be parents to the sweetest baby boy, who has completely stolen our hearts. Our little family means everything to me — and they’re at the center of all I do.
