VOW Pro Spotlight: Jess Onesto of Cheers Babe Photo
May 31, 2022
This month’s VOW Pro feature is VOW Pro member, Jess Onesto of Cheers Babe Photo, wedding photographer based out of Los Angeles, California. Jess believes weddings are sacred, beautiful, once-in-a-lifetime events and she takes her work with a great deal of responsibility – including sharing VOW’s mission with her clients.

What is VOW Pro?

Before we share how Cheers Babe joined the VOW Pro community, let’s take a step back and explain what that really means. The VOW Pro Network is specifically designed for wedding professionals and wedding-aligned businesses. By joining VOW Pro, you will expand girls’ access to education, encourage girls to become leaders in their communities, and shift social norms and perceptions of girls around the world. Become a VOW Pro Member and join our global network to support and celebrate girls choosing love on their own terms.
There are a variety of ways to activate VOW into your business and added benefits in doing so including a badge to display on your website showing your support to end child marriage, social media assets, opportunities for you and your couples to be featured by VOW on social media, our email newsletter, or in media stories and more!

For a donation of less than one dollar a day, $30 per month or $360 annually, your membership will not only welcome you into this generous community of wedding professionals, but can cover all of the costs to send two girls to school for a full year - from school fees to supplies and transportation! 🎉

How did you hear about VOW for Girls?

“I heard about VOW through another wedding photographer.”

How do you support VOW through your business?

Jess created a dedicated donation page in support of VOW and has raised over $500! 100% of those funds will go directly to underfunded grassroots efforts advancing girl’s rights, and $500 can cover the enrollment fees for 10 girls to attend school for an entire year!

VOW tip: Creating a dedicated donation page is a great way to inform your clients why and how you support VOW, and it takes less than 5 minutes! Add a photo, a quote, and set a donation goal – that’s it!

Why did you choose to support VOW with your business?

“As a wedding photographer, I’m fundamentally passionate about marriage. Getting to capture a couple’s union is the biggest privilege of my life. Unfortunately, not every marriage looks as picture perfect as my clients’ beautiful weddings.
As soon as I heard about the work VOW does, I knew it was a perfectly aligned partnership for Cheers Babe. It broke my heart to hear how many girls become child brides each year.”
“I knew that ending child marriage was a mission that not only I’d be passionate about, but my couples would be thrilled to participate in as they plan their weddings.”
