Jasmine Star (14)

Jasmine Star is an international photographer who is best known for her fashion-forward perspective on wedding photography and modern spin on an otherwise traditional day.

After leaving law school in 2006, Jasmine started her photography business armed with nothing but a single camera and lens, booked her first 12 weddings without a website—instead opting to market her services via a blog—and has since developed a thriving business.

She booked 36 weddings her first year without formal advertising and has become an industry starlet, earning the title of Photographer of the Year by Blu Domain and other awards for her work.
