We can’t say enough wonderful things about JJ with Be Lovely Photos! From the very first phone call, she was so personable and took the time to really get to know us and our vision...
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!
JJ is so amazing to work with! She will personalize a package just for you and whatever you needs are. She is so accommodating and truly goes above and beyond. She shot both my and...
my sisters wedding, and did such an amazing job! I can’t recommend her more! She is so personable, and helpful with anything you might need, not only on wedding day, but also throughout the wedding planning process!!
JJ is amazing to work with! Our family members and friends kept telling us how great she was at organizing everyone for the group shots, and we couldn't agree more. JJ turned our p...
hotos around extremely quickly, and was very helpful throughout the entire process, from suggesting first look locations to setting up a special nighttime shot for us at the end of the night. I'd highly recommend JJ and Be Lovely Photography.
JJ is honestly the best. Her and Katie do phenomenal jobs and have the most amazing eyes for pictures. They can capture the extraordinary in the ordinary and it is so cool to see w...
hat they come up with!
We had an engagement shoot with her and it was so nice to be able to get comfortable in front of the camera and with her before the wedding! She gets the job done and done to perfection.
Cannot recommend strongly enough.
If you want to have a super fun wedding day, along with top notch pictures, hire JJ Lane / BeLovely Photography for the best experience ever!! We bought a package that included an ...
engagement shoot, and our engagement pictures went above and beyond our expectations! She took a timeless photo of us kissing on a bridge in Forest Park, that we bought and framed as a 20" by 30" photo in our living room! We loved our engagement shoot, so we were very excited about our Wedding Day experience! JJ was so responsive to me and Paul, and carried out each and every request we had. It was important to us to have an experienced photographer in the St. Louis area, and she found the most picturesque photo areas on the new St. Louis Arch grounds. This included pictures in front of the Arch (of course), by the lakes, on the side of the Old Cathedral, and then the park and gorgeous trees on the Laclede's Landing side of the Arch. We were able to get an entire wedding shoot with different scenery, all in one area! The entire Bridal Party loved her! JJ was thorough about all of our details, and sent us a wonderful preview of wedding photos just one week after our wedding! I cannot stop looking at the photos! They are beautiful. We highly recommend JJ for your engagement session and wedding day. She's got an artistic eye, and captures the most precious memories you will always cherish.
JJ was the best decision we made in planning our wedding. Our photos are energetic, colorful, and reflect the emotion of our wedding day. I couldn't imagine having more perfect w...
edding photos.
JJ was amazing! We loved her the first time we met her and knew she would be great to work with and hang out with for a full day! She had great advice about the flow of the day, ...
and she was organized and efficient. Even doing our first look and wedding party pictures outside in 90-plus degree heat, she kept her cool and made sure we were comfortable, too. Her assistant was also great. JJ had a bunch of our pics up on Facebook within a week so we could get a glimpse of them and start sharing them with friends and family. Even our guests and wedding party commented on how awesome she was, unobtrusive and fun to work with. We couldn't have been happier with her, and she helped make the day more fun!
Outstanding photos, wonderful photographer!
JJ was with our wedding party a full day and had boundless energy and enthusiasm. She helped with the flow of the day, was organized & ...
efficient, professional, friendly, supportive, and very creative. There are so many fun and artistic, romantic and charming shots. We are so happy with the photos and with the experience we had with JJ on this very special day.
What can I say about JJ? She was absolutely the best choice we could have made for our wedding photographer. She was professional but fun, and she has such an eye for cool architec...
ture and unique shots. She really captured the excitement of the day and the uniqueness of our venue The Sheldon Concert Hall. I spoke to other photographers before deciding to go with Be Lovely Photography, and some who had shot at our venue before were hesitant to return because they said the lighting is very difficult. After looking at the 100+ photos in the preview JJ posted to Facebook of our wedding day, you would never know that there is tough lighting at the Sheldon because JJ and her second shooter Sara Wilson took such incredible shots. JJ’s assistant Christina was also very helpful and friendly and a wonderful addition to our day. We’re extremely grateful that we went with a pro like JJ to capture all the special moments of our big day. I could rave on forever about JJ, but just know that if you decide to go with Be Lovely Photography, you won’t be disappointed.
I feel so lucky that we had JJ as our wedding photographer. She couldn't have fit our style any better, and not just in terms of looks, but attitude, too! She just got us! Our phot...
os have received many compliments, even my sister who was married the year before us was a little envious when she saw how well JJ captured the light, the mood, and the day.
She was prompt in addressing any and all questions and concerns I had before the wedding, she anticipated any issues, asked great questions of me, and turned things around super fast - not to mention doing so while 8+ months pregnant, and then with a little bebe at home for the editing stage. The icing on the cake was that she fit our budget perfectly.
We will treasure these photos forever and are so glad JJ was there to capture our big day!
JJ Lane of Be Lovely Photography is amazing. Our pictures were beautiful and she was wonderful to work with. She has vision!
JJ Lane with Be Lovely Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with. We hired her for our wedding day. She met with us twice before the wedding--once to make sure we connected...
and got along, and another time to discuss the venue and the day-of schedule, who was getting photographed, etc. We did our pictures before the wedding and so did the "first look." I was so nervous about the plan, but she and her assistant were 100% on time and everything went so smoothly. We had 1.5 hours from the first look until the wedding and we had to do our couple pictures, family pictures, and bridal party photos. JJ made sure we were right on schedule but was not willing to sacrifice beauty just to get a shot. During the wedding and the reception, she was pretty invisible, but you wouldn't know that based on the pictures. They were incredible. Finally, she was a blast to spend time with, which really helped make the whole day wonderful.
We had JJ do our engagement shoot and our full wedding day. She was amazing and wonderful to work with.
