Bold As Love Studios

that hiring Jo / Bold as Love Studios as our photographer was the best decision we made. She is truly the whole package: phenomenal human being, amazing and consistent attention to detail, and her photos are STUNNING. Going into the process of finding a photographer, I knew how important it was, and I also had no idea what to expect. I was overwhelmed. Should you really feel a personal connection? Can they really help as a wedding planning guide? Is this really one of the most important decisions? Let me tell you bluntly, YES, YES, and YES. But also, if you’re here, look no further. You have truly found the best in the business, full stop. I vividly remember the first call my husband and I had with Jo as being so natural, relaxing, and fun. She made us excited about the process that was to come. Jo’s warmth, kindness, bubbly, fun-loving personality came through immediately and put us both at ease. She is so easy to talk to, and you know what else? She LOVES what she does. She LOVES her couples! We felt it immediately, her pure joy and passion for her wedding photography simply put her in a different league. But wait, there’s more, I’m not done. Jo’s attention to detail is, simply put, out of this world. She is a master at what she does! From the moment you send an inquiry form to her, she is with you every step of the way. Wedding planning can be overwhelming, the day itself can be overwhelming - if you hire Jo as your photographer, you can rest assured you will be taken care of to the utmost extent possible. She works with so many couples, but we never would have known! We always, always felt like her number one priority, she always kept us on track, and she always helped us manage whatever details we had questions on. Finally, the final product. Your wedding photos. Jo’s work is stunning. She captured the love and joy felt on my wedding day in such an intimate, beautiful way. My wedding photos feel alive, I see both my truest self and my husband’s truest self in them, as well as all of our friends and family. I see love in a way I didn’t realize was possible to see shine through in a photograph. I reiterate that I truly believe hiring Jo was the best decision we made. If you are lucky enough that she is free on your date, I cannot recommend her highly enough. You will have the most beautiful wedding photos and a vendor partnership in which you can trust, relax, and have fun. I’m so excited for you!!!!!

gagement session, which I'm really glad we did because she helped us feel comfortable in front of a camera before our wedding. She had us laughing the entire time, and though we felt so awkward, she captured tons of really beautiful moments. Oh, and she also made a stellar recommendation for the location! And then there was the wedding day. I couldn't have asked for a better person to spend the day with, and Jo's second photographer Amanda was also fun and professional like Jo. She kept us all on schedule for pictures that day, and again, just blew it out of the water with the photos. Not only did they come out perfect (the attention to detail, ability to capture moments beautifully), but she delivered them to us in record speed. SO IMPRESSED! If we have another opportuntity to work with Jo, we definitely will. And we cannot recommend her enough for others who are looking for a very talented, super fun and energetic photographer to work with.

hotographs that perfectly capture our love and joy. Jo offers different wedding photo packages. We opted for the middle package, which included an engagement session. The package also included 8 hours of her time on our wedding day with her. We could have added on a second photographer, but we didn't see the need for that and we are still happy with that decision – Jo captured every moment on her own perfectly. She blended into the wedding day seamlessly. And several friends and family members were impressed with her and her work. We would hire Jo again in an instant and have already referred her to guests who have inquired about her services.

nline and speaking to Jo on the phone I knew it would be a perfect fit. Jo was responsive, friendly, and collaborative every step of the way and delivered beautiful work. Taking family portraits the day of our wedding was definitely a challenge because our wedding party and family was larger than most and people kept disappearing or chatting amongst themselves. Despite these challenges Jo and her associate were patient and composed and still managed to capture all the shots on our (very long) shot list. I really appreciated when Jo was able to get a tricky first kiss shot we requested despite warning us that it may be impossible - we really loved her dedication to giving us exactly what we asked for! Aside from professionalism and expertise, Jo was comfortable, funny, and had great shot ideas on the fly that ended up being some of our favorite photographs. DEFINITELY recommend!

the perfect photographer, and wanted someone with not only the technical skills, but the artistic vision and creativity to perfectly capture our special day. Jo and Bold As Love Studios not only met our expectations, they blew them out of the water! We first used Jo for our engagement photographs and were impressed by not only the finished project, but how easy she is to work with. She gave us clear and simple directions for posing, backdrops, etc. - and this resulted in amazing photographs. It was the same when Jo shot our rehearsal dinner/mehendi ceremony and our wedding (for which she brought a second shooter). When the big day came, the Bold As Love Studios team arrived promptly, and conducted themselves with the utmost professionalism. Jo put everyone in the wedding party at ease and everyone had fun shooting photos with her and the second shooter. They encouraged us, made us laugh and made my husband and I feel special and supported on our big day. You can really see this reflected in our photographs where everyone looks naturally happy and at ease. The wedding photographs themselves turned out amazing. We had a variety of different shots (with Jo advising us on several shooting locations). The colors, poses and quality of the images was incredible. Jo has a very vibrant and dynamic photography style which matched perfectly with the theme of our wedding. We could not be happier with the end results. Thank you, to Jo and Bold As Love Studios for your hard work, incredible talent and emphasis on customer service! We highly recommend Jo and choosing Bold As Love Studios remains one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

at time came. My husband and I had no experience in front of a professional camera together and were quite nervous about it going into our engagement session. However, Jo popped on some music in the middle of the forrest, had us laughing the whole time and made us feel as comfortable as we could be. On our wedding day, Jo and her amazing assistant Amanda kept everyone on (actually ahead of) schedule and made sure we had every shot we wanted + some. We had the sneak peeks as soon as we were back from our honeymoon and we are obsessed! We can't wait to see the rest of them...and I can't wait to hopefully get to work with Jo again in the future!

e having so much fun in the process. They did an amazing job capturing every detail of our wedding. Cannot recommend Jo and her team enough!

re gorgeous, and we just got our wedding sneak peek back and we are BLOWN AWAY! Jo managed to make everything fun and stress free- could not recommend her enough!

dly to capture special moments from our wedding day. We are obsessed -- her pictures from our day are jaw-dropping! Her style of bold colors and candids help breathe so much life into her photos that you look at them and feel like you're still there. She is amazing.

zing - she made us feel comfortable and we had a blast shooting with her! (This was especially great since my fiance was dreading getting his photo taken...) I can't wait for the wedding day!

, and it wasn't long before we felt like we were taking pictures with a friend. For our wedding, Jo brought in Amanda and we could not have been happier. The two of them went above and beyond all of our expectations and the sneak peek was beautiful. THANK YOU for creating such a beautiful day and capturing these moments. We will definitely be using Jo for all of our future events :)

th planning and making sure our day ran smoothly. She captured the most special moments perfectly and the final pictures were beyond our expectations. She is so professional and warm, you can’t go wrong booking Jo for your special day!

s so easy to work with especially with COVID-19 restrictions. She immediately scheduled a call with us to get a feel for our style, personalities, and where we wanted our photo session to be. She’s super easy going and tries (and succeeds) at making you feel comfortable in front of the camera. We received our photo preview a few days after the session and we LOVED them. We anxiously awaited the rest of our photos and we were not disappointed. Jo has a way with color and capturing relaxed looks. She even created 2 gifs! We LOVE our photos! Highly recommend having Jo cover your special events!

y style, and I wanted to make sure whoever we worked with had a personality that meshed with ours. What set Jo apart from another photographer with great style at a price I could afford was her warmth and enthusiasm. It felt like talking to a friend, and I knew she was someone who could help put us at ease since my husband and I are a little awkward. Our engagement shoot was a great test run. Jo really listened to my ideas and had great ones of her own. My then fiance, who hadn't really seen the point of doing engagement pics, said afterwards, "That was actually fun!" And when we got our photos, we were thrilled with how great they looked and just how many Jo actually managed to take in just an hour! Our wedding was rescheduled due to COVID-19, and we ended up having a microwedding in my parents' yard in September, with the reception rescheduled for next year. Jo was super flexible and helpful with this stressful process. Even though the day was a little hectic because we didn't have an event manager to run the show, she was calm, patient, and enthusiastic. We just got the rest of our photos back and are so delighted with how many great shots she took and how beautifully she edited them. After looking through the album, my husband said that the photos made him really happy, and I agree. So, bottom line: Do you want a photographer who will make you look great, bring lots of energy, and provide great bang for your buck? Then Jo is your gal. We hope our reception will be able to happen next year, and can't wait to work with her again!

y married with our immediate families in attendance on the roof of the Crane Estate in Ipswich. Jo was a pleasure to work with, and went above and beyond her photographer duties, especially on such a quick timeline. Jo drove over an hour to do a venue walk-through with me a few weeks before our event, and suggested locations for solo photos, group photos, and even positioning for our rooftop ceremony- all of which were amazing suggestions, factoring in timing, ease of access, everything. The day of the event, Jo was a dream. Jo kept us on time, was calming (necessary for an anxious bride!!), and even worked with our officiant to position himself in the best spot for photos. Even before seeing the results of her hard work, I would recommend her. But after receiving her photos, OH MY GOD. Perfection. It’s like her camera is a magnet for happiness. I cannot recommend Jo enough to you!

s initially what drew us in but her creativity and wonderful personality hooked us from the first phone call. Jo is bubbly, fun, creative, genuine, caring, hilarious, versatile, and will genuinely do anything it takes to make her couples/clients feel comfortable and capture exactly what they are looking for. Plans for our special day changed a million times (COVID brides can feel us on this one) even on the day of (traffic and such made us 2 hours late) - Jo just went with the flow, offered her help in any way she could, was super patient and helped ease the stresses of the day. She has become more like a friend than just a photographer since we began working with her. I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone and everyone for all your photography needs!

g it with fun, creative, out of the box shots. The end product was beautiful. Couldn't recommend her more!

e at our "big" celebration next year! She helps everyone feel comfortable which was so important for me when looking for a photographer. My husband is not the biggest fan of getting his pictures taken but after our engagement shoot, he told me he had actually enjoyed the shoot, which is huge and made me really happy! Throughout our wedding she was supportive and encouraging even as plans changed again and again. The day of she was prepared and it was like having another friend in the room! She brings life to the photo and you can see and feel the emotion behind each one. I love her humor and the way she understands you as an individual and couple. Highly recommend her and can't wait to work with her again next year!

oice - really cares about her clients!

They gave direction when needed, but otherwise just captured us doing our thing. Their packages are so fair, I feel like we’re getting a lot for what we paid for. That’s saying a lot considering a lot of Boston-area photographers cost an arm and a leg. Jo even recommended our videographer who was also awesome.

our photographers to make sure you have what you want.
