About Ardensea

Jackie Watson

Owner + Lead Photographer

To be ardent means to be passionate and joyful. What better way to describe what I do as a wedding photographer? Capturing couples in an authentic, natural, and beautiful way is what I love above all else. Taking the time to know each and every couple, what makes them laugh, and the challenges they've overcome lets me give each one an unforgettable experience - and a lifelong friend in the process!

I'm an empath at heart - so during your wedding day, I feel the joy, excitement, love, and all the other emotions of the day with you. And that means I capture the big and small intentional intimate moments too. The soft touches, the belly laughs, the way his hand wraps around your back. All of the in-betweens that paint the big picture of your love story.

    Our dream photographer

    Ardensea photographers were an absolute delight to work with for our wedding day. From our very first interaction, their communication was informative, detailed and professional, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. On the day of, Jackie's creative eye and ability to capture the perfect angles and lighting resulted in stunning, high-quality images that we will cherish forever. Her warm personality and ability to make us feel comfortable in front of the camera truly helped make our wedding day that much more special. Ardensea provided incredible value, and we couldn't be happier with the beautiful memories they captured for us.

    Miller Wedding 02-24-24 - highly recommend!!!

    The most perfect experience. Jackie and Michael are extremely talented and very professional. They are super easy to work with and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. They are worth every penny!!!! They have a natural way of letting you enjoy your day all while capturing very special moments. Our wedding would not have been complete without them & I will forever love having these memories to share easily with family and friends. We were referred to them by our venue, and we are beyond happy we made the choice to use them for our engagement photos, wedding videography, and photography.

    Ardensea Perfection

    I always look forward to working with Jackie and Ardensea. I know I will always see top notch moments captured- and balanced lighting and expert level photo editing. I have worked along side with her, as a hairstylist to brides and models, as well as working on set assisting photo sessions. Not only am I guaranteed to see amazing photos- but everyone at Ardensea is so unbelievably cool, kind and a delight to be around. Jackie is chill, professional, and makes getting photographed feel easy and comfortable.

Real wedding inspiration featuring Ardensea

Show all photos

I love being both interactive and discreet throughout your wedding day. There will be parts of the day when I need to be in control in order to accomplish what needs to be done (family portraits, bridal party portraits, etc..) but I also always know how to be discreet and capture moments I know to look for after over a DECADE of shooting weddings. to capture emotional, candid, & natural images.
I average approximately 50-75 photos per hour! I deliver your images in a stunning gallery where you can view, share, download, and order prints quickly and easily. The final number of delivered photos will also depend on the length of the wedding, weather conditions, wedding timeline, etc.
I know how hard it is to wait patiently for wedding photos! That's why I've created a same-day slideshow to give you at the end of your wedding night. That way, you'll leave your wedding day with a few of my favorite images from the day. Full wedding galleries are delivered within 3 weeks!
Ardensea is fully licensed insured, and will happily provide proof of insurance to your venue whenever needed.
If you feel that my Wedding Experience is a perfect fit for your wedding journey, reach out to me at hello@ardensea.com. An online booking proposal will be sent to you to sign your contract and pay your retainer fee (plus travel if applicable) to reserve your day!
