Book Heather Jackson NOW for your wedding if you want the most fun, energetic, talented, non traditional photographer ever. If you’re looking for canned, awkwardly posed wedding photos with forced smiles, you should probably look elsewhere.
Le...t me start by saying that so many guests and wedding party members came up to me to tell me how awesome my photographer was. She was SO much fun, and instead of picture taking being a painful burden in which you are counting down the smiles until you can get to the bar, it was actually a blast for everyone. Heather is full of life, and because of her, we have so many photos of people genuinely laughing and smiling even after the 50th obligatory family photo. And we have absolutely gorgeous photos to show for it.
I was lucky enough to fund her on instagram, and even though at that point she’d done mostly engagement shoots and elopements, I immediately wanted her at our wedding for her unique style. I won’t try to describe her style much, because a picture is worth a thousand words (check out @jackson.takes.photos), but it was artistic without being over the top, and all of her pictures looked so natural and not contrived like other photos. When we met with her, we clicked, and were happy to have her as part of our day.
Heather is easy to communicate with, professional, and have I mentioned how fun she is? We got to know her through coffee and engagement photos, and felt super comfortable with her on our wedding day. She even sent us along little gifts before the wedding, which we will cherish always. Pricing was perfect, as well.
We may have been the most vanilla people Heather has ever photographed (unlike many of her clients, we have no cool tattoos and are always fully clothed), and even though our 135 person New England-crowd wedding was not her typical gig, she crushed it. Her second shooter Amelia was great, too! Also, it still amazes me how many of our guests remember her as being such a fun and naturally integrated part of the celebration, seamlessly working her way through the dancefloor and capturing memories until the very last song of the night. I had multiple people say to me that they wished Heather could have been their wedding photographer.
Bottom line is Heather is an incredibly talented and fun photographer and you can’t go wrong with her.
