Heather was simply the best person I could have asked for to photograph our wedding day. She both held a safe presence of grounding and calm, and brought the energy and jazz when n...
eeded. Heather listened to all our wishes and needs surrounding all things photography, but also went above and beyond to support any wedding needs at a moments notice. Heather photographed my dear friend’s wedding in 2021 and I intentionally never forgot her in hopes that she would still be around whenever my time came. It did, and she was, and I’m so grateful for her. Thank you Heather.
Heather is AMAZING!! We loved working with her for our wedding celebration. She did our engagement session and the wedding day and all of our photos are STUNNING. We are beyond hap...
py and highly recommend her for any photography needs you have. She is fun, professional, works great with kids and doggies and overall an expert in her craft. Look no further - she is the best of the best.
Heather was truly incredible throughout the entire wedding process. From walking us through some of our plans as a salida local, to the final product, she made us feel heard, loved...
, and like models the whole time.
During the photos she made us feel like the most beautiful couple in all of Colorado, and had even the most buttoned up guests having a fun time. Not only did she generate joy, but she was able to capture all the emotions of the day both staged and candidly.
A true professional, but also made us feel like we were working with a long time friend.
Can’t recommend heather highly enough, she’s an absolute rock star.
If you are deciding between photographers, you NEED to go with Heather! She was such a perfect addition to have on our wedding day. Not only did our photos turn out breathtaking, b...
ut she made the process so simple. It's clear through her direction and confidence, that she plans out her projects ahead of time to make the whole shoot seamless. She puts pride and passion into her work and it shows. She also has some awesome jokes/dance moves to keep you laughing throughout the day. We loved having Heather there with us to capture our wedding day!

Heather is an awesome person and outstanding photographer. She is very personable and friendly. You will likely forget that you're having a photoshoot, and feel like you're just ha...
nging out. The result of her process results in photos that feel genuine, candid and capture you and your's relationship. One of the most important aspects of a photo is the soul of it and the emotion that it evokes, I feel like Heather's photography consistently captures both of these aspects well, and it's a testament to her as a photographer.

I am completely blown away by the photos!
Heather was hilarious, loving, genuine and such a joy to have on our wedding day to capture all the unforgettable moments!!!
Heather is a pro! I can’t say enough how amazing of a job she did, she can get anyone looking natural in front of a camera, and she’s so so much fun. She was reliable through every...
step of the wedding planning and on the day she freaking DELIVERED. She never missed a moment, she caught it all on her camera and holy hell this girl is so talented, the photos really are the best wedding photos a girl could ask for. I mean think about it, on your wedding day who do you spend the most time with? It’s the photographer. You want that day spent with someone who you are comfortable with and helps make that day special, Heather is your knight in shining armor and the best choice I ever made (besides choosing my husband of course). If I could give her a thousand star rating I would, thank you to Heather for everything, she is an amazing person and clearly gives 100% effort into her work.
Heather is absolutely amazing! She is fun, professional, and delivers an amazing end-product

r. She goes above and beyond to make your day extra special. I was extremely nervous on my wedding day, she knew exactly what to say and do to help me calm my nerves. She is not just someone you hire to take your photos, she is someone you become lifelong friends with. If I could, I would rate her way higher than five stars.
Heather is so good at making you feel comfortable in front of the camera. She is spunky, silly, and incredibly professional. Her ability to capture organic connections and beauty i...

Heather was amazing. She is extremely personable and professional. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to shoot our wedding and engagement photos!

eather Jackson is hands down the best photographer!!
Wow! Heather Jackson was the absolute best Photographer my now husband and I could have asked for! Heather and my husband secretly planned a destination engagement shoot for me. Ja...
mar said she was easy to work and communicate with and made the planning process enjoyable. Once we were at the shoot she used her creative eye and fun personality to take the most beautiful photos of us! Heather made what could have been an awkward photo shoot (as both Jamar and I don't love having our pictures taken) into one of the best days of my life! She made me feel beautiful and helped us have fun and laugh the entire time. By the end of the day I felt like she was my best friend and before even seeing the pictures, I knew we HAD to have her as our wedding photographer!
At the wedding she again made taking hours of pictures fun for everyone, Heather doesn't just take the "normal" stand and smile pictures, instead she gets everyone involved, laughing, and moving so she can capture candid moments. My wedding had 250 guests and 10 bridemaids and yet Heather managed to get pictures of everyone having a good time! Heather is the type of person who can wear many hats and loves to serve her bride and groom, making sure that they have the best day possible, no matter what it takes! After the wedding I had over 20 people comment on how amazing our photographer was and even 3 people form the wedding ended up hiring her!
Jamar and I love love loved our final results and have both our wedding and engagement photos hanging throughout our house. Although Heather is an extremely talented photographer, her big heart and love for people is what truly makes her special. Needless to say, Heather will be our forever photographer and now friend.
Anyone would be lucky to have her in their lives and apart of their special day!
Heather was absolutely amazing for both our engagement photos and wedding. We are excited to work with her again for the celebration next year. Her pictures are fun and real and sh...
e makes the whole experience wonderful. She has a true talent and the best manor to which she uses it. Her calm/fun love was the best presence to have on my big and nerve wracking day! My family all said “who’s the photographer, she’s great!” Without even having seen her photos. I have had a million complements on her photos and am so grateful she was able to do our wedding!
Heather was the rock of our wedding this past September. Just having her around added even more positivity to our already amazing experience at Blackstone Rivers Ranch. More than j...
ust a photographer, Heather was an incredible personality. She had this wonderful, almost indescribable effect on people, de-stressing, adding humor and engendering optimism everywhere she went.
As for her photography, Heather had a command over her craft. At times, she told you how she needed you to pose, at others giving you the freedom to act naturally and snap photos of you while being a wallflower. She also took the photos we wanted her to take and provided hundreds of options to look through in the end.
Heather's photos are visionary and artistic. They stand out compared to every other photographer we researched before the wedding. Definitely check her website out!

Heather somehow manages to capture the true feeling of the most precious moments in her photos - I don't know how she does it. She's simply incredible.
An awesome experience all around! Professional, personable, reasonably priced, and amazing photos!
Heather’s work speaks for itself but she’s also extremely easy to work with and a positive energy to have around on a stressful day.
Heather traveled to Mexico to be our wedding photographer. She truly made our wedding day, it would not have been the same without her. Obviously her style of photography is someth...
ing we fell in love with right off the bat, but we were so pleasantly surprised to see that Heathers passion goes so much further than just taking photos. She captures who you truly are. The authenticity of her images are something We will treasure forever. The prompts that she used to take the photos were so fun, light hearted and made for the best photos!
Heathers professionalism yet fun goofy demeanor makes her so much fun to be around, and makes her incredible at her job.
Before our wedding, Heather took the time to come over and actually get to know us. Upon arrival, she took it upon herself to scope out the exact spot on the beach that we would become husband and wife days before the ceremony, she contacted our wedding coordinator and made sure she was up to speed on everything and that everyone was on the same page and even made sure our guests were okay with tattoos. They definitely were, but for real... that is the sweetest gesture to make sure all feel comfortable.
The day of the wedding arrived and Heather was the true MVP. I truly think it could have been a mess if she wasn’t there to help coordinate, tell people where to be and stay on top of timing. She made it flow, 100%. For this (and so many other things) we are forever grateful to have had Heather on board.
The photos we received from Heather went above and beyond any expectation we could have ever had for our wedding photos. One of our favorite aspects of the photos was Heathers skill in getting a photo of every single person at our wedding. Both my husband and I were brought to tears with the images Heather captured of our special day. We will treasure them forever.
Our experience with Heather made us sure that we will use her for every single photo shoot we ever need in the future, and we have told everyone far and near about this wonderful woman’s passion and talent behind the lens. We couldn’t have asked for anything more.
Thank you, Heather for making our wedding Day the absolute best it could have ever been, for traveling out to Mexico and Being such a genuine person we now get to call our friend. So much love and happiness around this incredible human! We would recommend her 10000x over.
Heather was more than a joy to work with! She not only got our vibe and energy but she matched it perfectly! We absolutely loved our experience and she captured our fun and quirk...

eceived from our family and friends was overwhelming. Heather is not only talented in her craft, but also a really awesome person. She is funny, friendly, caring and made my husband and I as well as our whole wedding party feel at ease. Many of my friends are planning to book Heather for their engagement and wedding as well. You will NOT be disappointed with Heather Jackson! Thank you again, Heather!!! We couldn't have asked for anything more:)
HEATHER! Not only did she blow me and my partner away during our engagement session, but she was phenomenal on our wedding/elopement day. And we were even fortunate enough to work ...
with her again for an in-home anniversary session. All of our photo experiences with Heather have been over the moon incredible. She is so comforting, loving, fun, REAL, and really knows how to get us in the mood for photos. Her energy is truly the best when it comes to having your photo taken. And she gave us such a variety of images, and it had everything I could ever want. She is able to capture the intimate moments as well as the funny/more us style as well. From start to finish our experience with Heather has been incredibly positive. If you want artistic and genuine images-she is your photographer!
Heather is the absolute best! She was communicative, had awesome ideas, and was honestly just a great person to have with us on our wedding day - we only had two guests, so that wa...
s crucial! My husband and I are both a little camera shy but she made us comfortable and gave us just enough direction that we had a great time. And the photos are AMAZING - we've had family and friends reach out to ask about how we got such magazine-spread worthy photos of our wedding day. The answer is, of course, Heather! She also got our digital album back to us insanely quickly, which was icing on the cake!
When we decided on an elopement we knew that photos were going to be so important to share with our family back home and capture memories on our big day. I will be forever grateful that we were able to find the perfect person to trust with that role.
Heather was nothing short of amazing on our special day!
She was there early, ready to go, and so very patient with myself and all of our crazy family and friends. She played a m...
ajor role in how smooth our day went from beginning to end. She was able to capture the intimacy and pure joy that incased all of us throughout the day. We absolutely love the album that she created for us and being able to look back and re-live that day is absolutely magical. Thank you for taking such good care of us Heather, we are so grateful that we found you!
Heather took our engagement and wedding photos and after each session I was blown away with the results. She is so fun and easy to work with, she brought out our personalities so t...
he photos capture who we really are. We absolutely treasure the pictures, I can't stop looking at them and want to show them off to everybody! Plus all the details and care she puts into her wedding packages truly made it feel like our day meant as much to her as it did to us. We are so grateful we had such a talented photographer to capture our memories!
We absolutely loved working with Heather! She did a fantastic job at capturing our special day and went above and beyond our expectations. We highly recommend her!
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 ph...
otos with forced smiles, you should probably look elsewhere.
Let 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.
Best photographer ever! I loved working with heather every time! My husband was slightly camera shy and she helps to really make people relax and just have fun when she’s shooting....
I would 10/10 recommend her!
Heather was absolutely incredible!! Not only do the pictures turn out amazing she takes the time to remind you to breath!! She dances to get everyone to laugh while taking pictures...
and makes it so comfortable!!! We absolutely love her and might just ask her to take pictures of us for no special occasion!!! She’s amazing and you won’t regret choosing her!!!
Heather made our elopement so fun! We are so glad we chose her to capture our special day. Hands down, THE BEST photographer you’ll find. She is a kickass human, knows all the word...
s to say to get the perfect shot, and just fun to be around! We got so many compliments on our wedding photos, some even saying they should be in a magazine. 10/10 recommend!!!

Heather made our elopement so fun! We are so glad we chose her to capture our special day, she is the best and we are so pleased with how the photos turned out!
Heather creates meaningful, personal relationships with all of her clients and is SO fun to work with. My boyfriend is such a trooper when it comes to getting photos done, but it’s...
not typically how he’d like to spend an afternoon!! But every time Heather takes our photos he and I both leave feeling like we just had the BEST time ever!!! She brings out our personalities in the photos and delivers the prettiest galleries. I am very critical of my appearance but I feel so beautiful when I look at the photos she takes of me! I would recommend Heather’s services to anybody, whether it be for your wedding, your engagement, or for just for fun photos!
Absolute best photographer we have ever worked with!! Heather did our engagement pictures last year and our wedding pictures two weeks ago and we would hands down pick Heather to d...
o any pictures for us again! She is so funny, nice, responsive and has such a quick turnaround! We already have our pictures back from our wedding and we LOVE them! We have never worked with anyone who is so funny, everyone had such a blast taking pictures because Heather kept us all laughing. We were so grateful to have a photographer who was so easygoing and accommodating. With COVID-19, we had to make so many last minute changes (location, time of ceremony, amount of people etc) and Heather was so willing to continue helping us. I wish I could describe how grateful we are for Heather giving it her all... she was in knee deep snow, slipping and falling because of the crazy location we chose but she just laughed and kept taking our pictures.Thank you so much for the stunning pictures and we can’t wait to work with you again in the future! Highly recommend Heather to anyone!! :)
