Be Lovely Photography

for the day. She wasn’t just our photographer; she felt like a part of the family by the time the end of the day--which was a LONG day, and she even stayed later than she needed to! One of the reasons we were initially drawn to JJ was her focus on inclusivity and her support of queer couples in her work. As a mixed-race couple with many friends and their partners who are part of the queer community, it was so important to us to have a photographer who shared our values. JJ exceeded all our expectations—not only in capturing beautiful photos but also in the way she celebrated and respected everyone there. Seeing her capture special moments with so many of our cherished guests meant the world to us. The photos are absolutely perfect—better than we could have imagined. But honestly, JJ did so much more than take pictures. She helped keep the entire day running smoothly and on time, all while being a calming and friendly presence. She connected effortlessly with everyone—family, friends, even our other vendors—and it felt like she had been part of our lives forever. One of the things we appreciated most was how non-intrusive she was. We’ve been to weddings where the photographer seemed to take over, blocking views and pulling attention away from the couple. JJ was nothing like that. She knew how to take charge when it was time for portraits but then quietly captured all the candid, heartfelt moments without being in the way. She was also so flexible and worked with us to customize her packages to fit exactly what we needed. She collaborates with a professional designer who created the most stunning keepsake photo album for us. It’s such a beautiful way to relive the day, and we’ll treasure it forever. Every step of the process—whether it was responding to emails, talking through ideas, or finalizing details—was smooth and stress-free because of JJ’s professionalism and kindness. Thanks to JJ, not only do we have incredible photos, but we also had an amazing experience on our wedding day. If you’re looking for someone who will feel like part of your family, help your day go off without a hitch, and leave you with memories you’ll treasure forever, hire JJ with Be Lovely Photos. We couldn’t be happier!
