(55)

We are drawn to love, laughter, energy and light. We strongly believe in honest photography and understand it is our responsibility to document your story, without becoming part of the story. My name is Jessica VanTassel. In 2005 I established Stout Photography and in just a few years, we quickly grew to be one of the busiest wedding photography studios, photographing nearly 1000 weddings. In 2014

, after graduating SCAD University with a major in photography, Kara joined the team as an associate photographer. In 2016 we added Chris and Holly as assistant photographers. In 2017, as our team had established as a multi-photographer studio so we decided to change our name to Stout Studios. Together with Chris, Holly, Kara and my husband Eric, we make up Stout Studios.

It’s been a while since you’ve seen my face around here so I thought I’d jump in and say hi! When I’m not editing galleries or photographing your big day you can find me looking for any opportunity to explore with my border collie, R***r! My perfect Sunday would be disconnecting from my devices, picking up an iced coffee (knowing me probably two!) and then finding a nice spot outside to enjoy nature with R***r.

Eric and I went to our 3rd Electric Forest last weekend and my dear friend Sarah snapped this pic of us! Electric Forest is my absolute favorite place and the trip I look forward to all year! It is loaded with art, installation, music, whimsy and wonder. The atmosphere is filled with kindness and encourages authenticity. It is absolute magic and if you’ve never been or heard of it, you should definitely check it out.
