not recommend her enough! We initially met Janet for our engagement photoshoot, and we hit it off right away! Throughout the wedding planning process, she was organized, quick to respond, and had so many helpful tips/insights which helped with both easing my mind but also organizing all of the day-of details. On wedding day, Janet and her team were amazing!!! Even with the 90 degree heat, they showed up so energetic and excited to be there with us— which only made us even more excited! Janet captured us, our bridal party, and our families and friends so candidly and perfectly. Everything ran smoothly from start to finish because of her! Our pictures turned out unbelievable. Truly… we are still stunned with how beautiful Janet’s photos are. We also added the content creation package, where we got THE BEST highlight video of our wedding day, along with access to the raw footage. Even weeks after receiving our full gallery, we keep going back to our photos and video to reminisce on our wedding day :) Janet, thank you so, so much! We loved working with you and can’t thank you enough for your amazing work!

We could not be happier with Janet D Photography as our wedding photographer. She shot multiple sessions for us and delivered on every promise. Janet has the best eye for capturing...
moments, every image feels intentional, beautiful, and timeless.
From the start, we knew we were in great hands, and seeing our galleries confirmed that a hundred times over. We feel so lucky she was the one to document our wedding. Her calm, kind presence made the day feel effortless, and her posing, direction, and eye for framing made everyone look their best. Multiple members of our bridal party commented on how cool of a person she was too!
She turned our galleries around quickly, and the results were stunning. We will cherish these photos forever. If you want a photographer who combines incredible talent with professionalism and warmth, Janet is the absolute best in the business. Thank you Janet!
We chose Janet as our wedding photographer and it was the best decision! Janet has an extraordinary talent for getting the perfect shot, and her creativity and attention to detail ...
are amazing. In addition to her beautiful work and talent, Janet is so lovely to work with! She is incredibly kind and patient, and she made my husband and I feel so calm and comfortable in front of the camera. She was great at directing us during our engagement session and on our wedding day to achieve our stunning galleries. My husband and I were so excited to receive our sneak peek photos so quickly as well. Janet is skilled at being thorough yet efficient in her work. She answered all of our questions throughout our time together, and she truly cares about her clients. I am so grateful that we had Janet to capture our wedding day!

Married 10/05/2024 at The Starling <3
I knew pictures were going to be one of the most important things on our wedding day, so I did a lot of research prior to booking Janet. I per...
sonally love how her editing style isn't too bright, so you can still see the attention to detail in photos. After speaking with a handful of photographers with similar editing styles to what we were looking for, we decided to go with Janet due to her friendliness, price point with 2 photographers including an engagement session, and willingness to be flexible with us for where we wanted our engagement session. She traveled from Chicago to Lake Geneva for us which is where we live and took phenomenal photos with my dad’s 57 Chevy Bel Air. I sent her a Pinterest board of inspo photos for both engagement shoot and our wedding, and she posed us perfectly even referencing the photos with us. She was on time on wedding day and such a sweetheart to work with along with her husband. Our wedding day was extremely windy, but we wanted to do our first look at the Milwaukee Art Museum along Lake Michigan. My veil flew off about 3 times. I still don’t know how she did it, but she managed to capture MANY photos without hair in my face and with the veil on my head lol. She was extremely calm and professional asking if I was okay and warning me that it was pretty windy which made me not stress about it either. We had over 40 sneak peeks two days after our wedding, and I’m not kidding we got our whole album a month after the wedding. We were both shocked at how quick she was. Still having such a hard time creating a photo album and picking our favorites to put in our home because we love all the photos. Highly recommend booking Janet if she’s available on your day!!
Janet was extremely professional, caring, and personable throughout our whole wedding process! From the first initial meeting, my husband and I felt at ease with Janet. She is able...
to provide clients with guidance on engagement photos and gives all the tricks for the day of the wedding! When it came time for our engagement photos, Janet was able to make my camera shy fiancé feel comfortable, and made the overall experience so enjoyable! Our Save The Dates were gorgeous thanks to Janet’s creativity and eye behind the camera.
On our wedding day, Janet excused the day effortlessly. She was prompt, caring, and attended to all details. She was able to capture so many important moments that I am forever grateful for. Our family portraits went quickly with her guiding all poses. I am beyond thankful of the efforts of Janet and her team. They made my wedding day so smooth, and the photos that she captured are truly remarkable. I will forever cherish her work and the photos of our big day.
Janet is personable, caring, and SO organized. She made me feel as though our wedding wasn’t just a job for her, but that she was truly invested the work at hand. If I had to plan my wedding all over again, I would hire Janet over, and over and over again-she was a delight to work with. I highly recommend Janet for any and all events- she is incredible!
Janet is so organized and has a great vision to capture the right shots throughout wedding day to really capture the day and the energy perfectly. Also she turned around the galler...
y so quickly, we were impressed with her professionalism, quality of her work and how easy she was to communicate with! We enjoyed working with Janet and her team and would recommend!!

dding photos turned out absolutely gorgeous and we love them so much! Her rate was also very reasonable comparing with few other vendors. We highly recommend Janet and her team!
We LOVED working with Janet for our engagement photoshoot and wedding! To start, Janet is incredibly responsive and always there when you have questions or scheduling needs. She do...
es an amazing job at making you feel at ease behind the camera, and she finds just the right balance between helping you pose for photos, but also leaving room for natural interactions and candid shots. She's so great to work with her, and her photos are just as good! We were literally BLOWN AWAY with our wedding gallery. It feels worthwhile to note that it was snowing, windy, and below 30 degrees during the outdoor portion of wedding day photoshoot, and we don't even look cold in the pictures - again, she's incredible! Not only did we love working with Janet, but my family, friends, and other vendors loved her as well! Janet played a huge role in our wedding day running smoothly, and she captured it perfectly. I'd 100% recommend Janet to anyone who is looking for STUNNING photos and a photographer who will truly go above and beyond!
Having Janet as our photographer for our engagement and wedding photos has been an absolute privilege. Her photos are not only beautiful, but they capture the joy and love we feel ...
for each other and this special time in our lives so perfectly. Janet makes us enjoy every minute of taking photos with her positivity, kind communication, and bubbly personality! She worked with us ahead of time to get to know us, walk through the plan for the day, and answer all of our questions.
Our wedding day was perfect- we were lucky enough to have Janet and Erin, who made sure to capture every single shot we could have hoped for and more!! They went above and beyond, and coached us through the day to get the right poses so seamlessly. The turnaround time for our album was so fast, which is incredibly impressive with how busy this team is! Cannot wait to book Janet again for future photo shoots as we know this is a lifelong relationship and friendship!!
I truly cannot say enough about Janet and her photography. Not only did she photograph my engagement photos and my wedding, she also photographed both of my sister's weddings and e...
ngagements. She is the absolute sweetest person you will ever met and she truly cares about making whatever event she is shooting the most fun - and it comes with amazing results. She makes sure to get all of the shots that are important to you and keeps everything running smoothly the day of the wedding which is so much appreciated. She doesn't just feel like a photographer at this point, she feels like family. She remembers little details about the couple she's shooting and their families - this is truly an amazing aspect that is missing with a lot of other businesses. Janet will be someone I go to for all of my photography needs as long as she'll have me! If you want stunning pictures with someone as good as gold on the other side of the lens - It's Janet! (Also, shout out to Jeff as the second shooter!)
I could go on and on for days about how much we love Janet, but I will try to keep this as short as possible. Janet is SO special to our family as she has captured every single bi...
g milestone our lives. She photographed our maternity photos, newborn photos of our daughter and our engagement. When it came time for us to book a photographer for our wedding there was no question who we wanted. Of course it was going to be Janet!! Actually, we literally booked our wedding date based on Janets availability to shoot our wedding- BECAUSE SHE IS THAT AMAZING.
She gets to know her clients personally and her work reflects that because she captures your personalities perfectly. If you are reading this please do yourself a favor and book Janet- you will be so happy you did!
Janet exceeded my expectations. I am a photographer myself, so I knew choosing my very own wedding photographer was going to be one of the most important vendors of the night. From...
first contact Janet was quick to respond and we clicked instantly. She is so nice and really knows what she is doing. She is professional and responds quickly despite how busy she is! I have reached out to her and she never made me feel like I was a bother. Her turnaround time on galleries from our engagement session, to our previews and our full wedding gallery was just AMAZING. I highly recommend Janet and we cannot wait to work with her in the future.
I cannot express enough how happy we are that we had the privilege to have Janet photograph our wedding. Not only is she so kind, patient, easy to work with - but she is SO talent...
ed. From our engagement session with her, she was there to help with any questions, made us feel so comfortable as it was our first shoot ever. If I ever had a question up until our wedding day, she was there to answer right away, even with just needing advice.
We received so many compliments from our guests at the wedding with how impressed they were with Janet -- this was even before seeing any photos! Her & her team were fantastic to work with on our wedding day. And they were just overall fun to be around. I’m telling you… you would be lucky to have Janet photograph your wedding. Highly recommended!!!
So grateful that we found and booked Janet! Her and her assistant, Sam, captured our day with the most timeless and beautiful pictures. Janet made both me and my husband so comfort...

We could not be happier with our choice to have Janet as our wedding photographer. After doing our engagement shoot together, we felt like we really got to know Janet and could not...
wait for her to capture our big day. On our wedding day, Janet and her assistant were timely, efficient, and communicative. We had full faith that they were getting all the best shots. Janet had two photos to us the next morning, a sneak peak of the full sneak peak which arrived a day and a half after the wedding. The full gallery was right on time, a little less that a month after the wedding. We absolutely love the photos and will cherish them forever. We will absolutely be using Janet again the next time we are in need of a true professional.
You know you found an amazing vendor when you ask to be real life friends at the end of your event. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Janet and her associate. From our ini...
tial contact and how personable she is over the phone, to meeting in person and making me feel like a real life super model at our engagement shoot. Then fast forward to our wedding day and the sense of calm she gave me all day. I am so thankful to have found Janet and her team and absolutely LOVE the final product of our wedding photos (received one month after our wedding day which was the most incredible surprise). Thank you Janet for making our day so incredibly special. We can’t wait to take family photos in the future!!

She is also very organized and made sure we captured everything that we wanted! Our engagement and wedding photos turned out perfectly and we could not be any happier. Jeff is also an excellent photographer and was so incredibly helpful during our wedding to capture all of the special moments. I cannot recommend Janet enough. She went above and beyond throughout the entire process!
I highly recommend using Janet / her team. I had engagement photos taken previously with another photographer that missed the mark. Lucky for us, we decided to do a destination wed...
ding and that gave us an opportunity to take engagement photos with Janet's team (Erin). They turned out wonderfully. I was pleasantly surprised to receive sneak peaks the next day and the whole gallery within 1 week. Quality work and a fast turn around - Wow! They captured our love perfectly and I can't wait to share with family and friends on our save the dates.
We don't have enough good words to say about Janet! She was one of the first photographers we reached out to, and we just knew she was going to be perfect right off the bat. Janet ...
not only made our day look so incredibly beautiful in photos, but she also helped run our timeline, organize our bridal party, and guide the day seamlessly. She went above and beyond photography and became a much larger support when it came to planning and running the wedding day. Janet knew exactly what we wanted and captured it perfectly. We chatted about editing style and desired photos early on, and we were absolutely blown away by how perfect everything turned out. Janet was always available for a phone call or email to provide feedback, advice, and instruction. We could not recommend her enough! We love you Janet!!
