I had the most amazing experience with Marlene from JD Photography during our Mother’s Day session! She was absolutely incredible with my kids — patient, kind, and knew exactly how to capture their personalities so beautifully. I truly enjoyed every moment of the session and felt so comfortable the entire time.
To top it all off, I received my images within just a few days, and they are stunning! I’ll treasure these memories forever. Thank you, Marlene, for such a wonderful experience. Highly recommend!

I’m giving 5 stars because there’s no option for unlimited stars !! Marlene and the entire JD Photography crew are the best to ever work with. They did our engagement shoot, wedding shoot and a personal shoot in between. The outcome of every session exceeds any and all expectations we could’ve ever had for our photos. Not only does Marlene and crew have a vision for photography but they make you feel so comfortable throughout the whole process. Rich and I have never laughed so hard or felt more natural while taking photos. Marlene keeps you up to date on all things and even creates a timeline so that the day of runs as smooth as possible. I left everything in the hands of her and her team because I trust their ideas and knew that they would create the perfect pictures. I have no doubt that when I see our wedding day photos we will be blown away. Not only do we have a photographer for life but also a friend. Thank you so much JD Photography for your service, assistance and guidance !! The best of the best.
Marlene is the best! She’s so professional and super friendly. Our family had a great time with Marlene. She was knowledgeable and helpful when it came to posing my little ones. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!
I don't even know where to begin to thank Marlene! Marlene is an amazing person to work with and she makes everything fun and easy. On top of this.... her photos are OUTSTANDING! She sent us a few "sneak peeks" about 2-3 days after the wedding... our jaws dropped. She got this beautiful black and white photo of me looking through a window. Lighting is Marlene's specialty. She uses the lighting to create romantic, exquisite photos. She was also essential in keeping me on time for us to take advantage of the sunset. She was my right hand woman in creating an itinerary for my bridesmaids, hair dressers, and makeup artists to stay on schedule... and we did.... for the most part ;)
She's so good at direction and did not interfere at all with us enjoying the wedding or getting to see all of our guests. She created a delicate balance of capturing these intimate, special moments and allowing us to enjoy the wedding without having photos be a "job". I can tell that Marlene really cares about her clients being happy and she also is super funny... which is something you will be in need of on the day of your wedding.
I cannot thank Marlene and her team enough for her help, guidance, creativity, positivity, and amazing photography skills.
If you want your wedding day to be relaxing, fun, enjoyable, and get great photos... JD Photography is who you are looking for.
My husband & I were looking for a photographer for our wedding in July 2018. We found JD Photography through a friend that had used her for his wedding & INSTANTLY fell in love with her work. Marlene responded to me right and we set a day to met up to continue to discuss our desires from a photographer for our wedding. She made us feel very comfortable & we got to know each other personally (which is important while looking for a photographer). Marlene was extremely flexible when it came to making sure we were receiving everything that we were looking for in a wedding package. The price and quality was incomparable. Marlene and her crew were absolutely AMAZING from start to finish. We were worried about making sure our photographer was able to capture all of the special moments betwen my husband & I as well as our guests due to the fact that we had 185 guests. However, JD Photography was right on the dance floor capturing EVERYTHING. Our pictures are simply breathtaking & we cannot thank JD Photography enough for capturing the best day of our lives. We look forward to using JD Photography again!
if I could I would give Marlene and her whole crew 100 stars! They are amazing! I couldn’t have chosen any one else to capture my day! Marlene from the very beginning was there for me through all the stress, and craziness of wedding planning! She was there when we needed it! Her crew and her were on time and professional, and amazing( I will say amazing a lot) their pictures are breath taking! The day of my wedding, Marlene, Stephanie, and Vanessa went above and beyond and I couldn’t have been any happier!!! They are honestly the best! Best decision I made other than marrying my best friend!! You will not be disappointed picking JD PHOTOGRAPHY❤️
Thank you guys for everything !
The BEST and easiest decision I ever made was to hire JD Photography to capture my daughter's baptism! Marlene and her team did such an amazing job capturing all the special moments throughout the day. They were super professional and just had a way of making you feel comfortable while they snapped away. I just LOVE all my pictures and I can't wait to use her for future events!
Marlene and her team captured our engagement pictures in November 2017 and this past weekend our wedding October 6,2018 . Marlene and her team were very professional and attentive to us and our bridal party . They have a way to keep you smiling through out the whole session of photos and your wedding day ! We couldn’t be happier with Marlene and her team !!
Marlene and her team were an absolute delight. During our photo shoot, they provided excellent guidance and examples of poses that we could use. They were professional and fun the whole time. In my opinion, they went above and beyond to get us those most memorable shots and ensure that we were having a great experience. She welcomed our ideas and provided her expertise to make sure that our vision was represented in the final product. It felt like we were hanging out with old friends the whole time!We recommend Marlene and her team to anyone looking for an amazing photographer.
Marlene and her crew are amazing!
I hired her to take my Pre-engagement pictures and O M G, she made us feel super comfortable, she made us laugh and she is SIMPLY AMAZING. She truly loves what she does and it shows on her work.
Our pictures came out amazing, that we cannot wait for her to take our engagement pictures, bridal shower pictures, engagement party pictures and of course our wedding pictures.
Marlene, thank you so much for being fun and wonderful! !
Best photographer!
If I could give this 100.0 I would !! My fiancé and I worked with Marlene and crew recently shooting our engagement session and it was absolutely fantastic ! Rich and I sometimes feel awkward taking pictures and were worried it would be weird. It was the complete opposite. Marlene makes you feel the most comfortable laughing and talking while taking the pictures. The atmosphere is comfortable which makes the pictures come out so natural. I can’t thank her and her crew enough for the attention to detail. Making sure our hair, clothes, shoes even faces look right. She has a vision and her ideas are wonderful. She turns something ordinary and makes it extraordinary. I am in awe over our photos and haven’t stopped staring at them since I got them. That’s another thing, Marlene sent us a sneak peek the same day and we received the album in 24 hours. Amazing service, amazing talent. I can’t thank this crew enough and wishing time would fast forward so we can celebrate mine and Rich’s wedding day and have the opportunity to work with the team again. Can’t wait to see what those will look like ! Hiring JD Photography was the best decision !
Marlene and her team shot my wedding this summer. I cannot find the adequate words to describe what a pleasure it was for me to have them be a part of the day. They were so easy to work with leading up to the wedding. The day of the wedding they were both the most professional and the most fun! The entire day felt super personal and intimate which put us at ease. And the pictures are gorgeous! I wish I could give JD Photography 10 stars!
I hired JD photography for my wedding and could not be happier about my choice. She is a talented photographer which is evident with her work. Her personality is also wonderful which brings great energy and passion to her craft. She was so patience with me & my bridal party. Marlene photos are vibrant and full of life. I highly recommend hiring JD photographer for any event that requires a photographer, you will not be disappointed! I can’t thank you enough for everything ❤️
