We had the pleasure of working with Jill Markley for our August 2023 wedding! From our initial phone call, we could tell she was a seasoned professional. She helped us develop a timeline for our wedding day, ensuring we had adequate time to capture all the different combinations of family members for our family formal shots. She was easy to work with, provided great ideas, was very attuned to the small details, and the photos she captured were stunning. We're so grateful to have been able to work with Jill and highly recommend her!

I found Jill’s website and name while searching the area on google maps, and my husband and I are SO glad that we did!!
From the beginning Jill had clear communication, was easy to talk to, and shared great advice to ensure that we got what we were looking for! Jill was awesome day of the wedding, balancing a quicker first-look than expected (groom was late!) and so many guests, and a wedding party of 20 (!), she managed to capture ourselves and our guests perfectly and genuinely! We are so grateful for the keepsake her photography provides. I was so impressed with what she saw from her angle, she made a horse arena/side of it look warm and intimate. We asked for many candids, and details of the day, both were provided with the utmost thought and care! If you choose Jill, we are so happy for you because you will be in great hands (and eyes!)!

This was the most disappointing aspect of our wedding. Our engagement photo session had gone well and we had such high hopes. After receiving our wedding photos we were extremely disappointed. We asked for a sneak peak of just a couple photos but she said we had to wait for the entire gallery which took many many weeks. Unfortunately for our photographs she had us stand in front on a glass window at night and she and all her equipment are in the reflection of every single photo. I think an experienced photographer would have realized this or edited the photo's to remove the reflection. There is also no variety in her photo poses. We have the same pose in about 40 of our pre ceremony photos. I could get over all those things but we had put together a list of all the groupings of people we wanted like we were instructed to do and there was still a missing group photo from the final gallery. I have a photo from a groomsmen on his phone so I know the grouping was done. I had followed up multiple times and asked if she could find the missing group because it is my family picture. To this day she still has never responded on what the status of the missing photo was. I know when I was searching for vendors I read many many reviews so I wanted to put my experience out there. Jill is a very nice person but looking back at our photos I wish we considered hiring someone else.
response 01/28/2023
Kelly, thank you very much for bringing your feedback to my attention. I always strive to ...
provide an incredible photography experience and I am so sorry to hear that you feel it did not happen with your wedding.
To address the issues raised in this review: I will absolutely edit the few photos with a reflection. My sincere apologies for the oversight.
Regarding any repetition of poses – It is my goal to always provide every ‘worthy’ photo to my clients– even if it may seem to be a duplicate. I have found that even a microscopic change in expression or positioning can make a difference, so I do like to provide all of the options when delivering my client’s final collection. This way *you* get to choose your favorites from the ‘best of the best’ – instead of me! Essentially, I prefer to overdeliver. Your complete gallery was delivered within 5 weeks of your wedding date and your feedback at the time was that the photos were “great” with the exception of one missing group photo.
I looked high and low for your missing family photo, as communicated in my email (March 2022). I could not locate it. I would be more than happy to edit together a photo of the missing group shot using a series of other photos to create the one you are missing. I would love the opportunity to do whatever I can to help make this right and improve the overall experience for you and Nick.
Again, I am very sorry to hear that you feel this way about the situation and I am eager to resolve it for you. I have already reached out to you via email and phone, but please do not hesitate to contact me at 617-304-9438 or jmarkleyphotos@gmail.com.

We hired Jill as our photographer this summer for our wedding at the blue ocean event center and she was amazing!!!! Jill is very sincere, down to earth, has a sense of humor, and listens to exactly what you want in order to make your dream day come true. Jill showed up early for our wedding and coordinated all the appropriate photos and poses! She made everything easy and stress free. Jill truly captured all the special moments of the nights, and captured photos we had even forgot about taking! We strongly recommend Jill and hope we can do another session with her in the future! Thank you for everything Jill!!!

Jill took amazing photos for our engagement and wedding. She was incredible—nice, professional, organized, and kept to our schedule. She has an amazing eye for lighting, framing, and capturing genuine moments. Her experience doing weddings was obvious. I cannot emphasize enough how happy we are that we hired Jill and we would recommend her to anyone!

Jill is photographing our wedding in June 2022 and we did an engagement session with her which was part of our package. We had a lot of fun during the session and appreciated Jill’s sense of humor throughout which led to many laughs. She made us feel comfortable. Jill had vision in the style of photos and was good at making little tweaks to position us for the perfect capture. She was very patient and gave good direction. We were thrilled with how the photos came out! We received so many compliments on the photos and used one for our Save the Dates. We are excited and look forward to having Jill photograph our wedding in June!

If you’re feeling overwhelmed with all the details, you can count on Jill to ease your mind. We hired Jill as our wedding photographer from across the country. She scheduled phone meetings to walk us through all the details and agenda leading up to our big day. She’s responsive and truly cares about the experience and photos you are looking to achieve. She prepares you with a checklist and questionnaire, so you know what to expect and who should (and shouldn’t) be in pictures.
With our “Covid” wedding, I want to thank Jill for being so flexible with our date changes and accommodating to our locations in Portsmouth NH. Even though it rained, she captured great images inside and outside. She really highlights the little details and candid shots.

Jill was amazing! She was so flexible when it came to rescheduling our engagement sessions due to the weather a few times; and when we needed to reschedule our wedding due to covid. Jill is so friendly and really makes you feel comfortable when you aren't sure what to do! Our pictures came out beautifully and we couldn't be happier with them. Thank you Jill for capturing all of the best moments!

My fiancé and I had never done a professional photo session before and Jill made us feel comfortable, walked us through the entire process, and made it fun! The photos were beautiful and we can't wait to work with her again next year!

We worked with Jill for our engagement and wedding pictures! She was great and easy to work with. Prior to our wedding day, Jill helped us organize the day and truly think about the wedding pictures we would want forever. During our ceremony and reception, Jill was discreet in the background but captured the most amazing pictures. Her turnaround in delivering our pictures was also super quick!

We absolutely cannot say enough wonderful things about Jill. From the minute we had our first conversation, I knew she would be our favorite vendor. Not only is she incredibly talented and produces GORGEOUS photography, but she has the perfect combination of calm, patient, and organized that will put any covid planning bride at ease. My fiancé hates getting his photo taken and was uncomfortable with the idea of the entire process… Not only did Jill make this as painless as possible for him starting right from the engagement shoot, she caught the perfect moments of us from start to finish and knew exactly how to pose us and produce the laughs needed to make the final product look like we were professionals. Her work is outstanding, her service is unmatched, and her personality is exactly what you want behind the camera for all of the fun, intimate, and unforgettable moments throughout your day. We LOVE the sneak peeks she sent us back from our wedding last weekend and cannot wait to see the rest!! WORK WITH JILL!! I promise you won’t regret it.

Jill is an ABSOLUTE DREAM to work with!! From our first phone call I knew she was the one to photograph our wedding. She’s is extremely knowledge and that combined with her personality and sense of humor make her phenomenal to work with. My fiancé and I have never done professional photos and therefore had no clue how to (properly) pose - but somehow Jill made us look fantastic.
She even got the most amazing pictures of us and our pup, which we will cherish forever!
We’ve only done our engagement photos so far, but I cannot imagine how wonderful our wedding photos are going to come out after this.
Top notch photographer and top-quality photography.
You will not regret booking Jill!!

My husband and I used Jill for our October 17th wedding, and will be using her for our reception planned in. June 2021. Although things looked a little bit different, Jill did a phenomonal job! She was so considerate of all protocols and was careful around everyone.
Jill was awesome to work with, and you can tell she has a real passion and love for photography. She really takes the time to know her clients, and who she's photographing. Jill's work is AMAZINGLY beautiful! She is so creative, and went above and beyond to get great detail photos. We CAN'T WAIT to work with Jill again in June, and take more gorgeous and memorable photos. Jill is very talented and
Even with many bizarre things happening in 2020, Jill remained professional and on top of her game. My husband and I cannot wait to see our final album. The sneak peak she sent made us both cry! If you are looking for a wedding photographer, stop...hire Jill!!

If you are looking to have your memorable life moments captured in the best way possible, then look NO FURTHER! Jill is the absolute best!! She has my 100% recommendation!!
My fiancé and I got engaged in June 2020 and I mediately started planning our wedding. I am a person that takes a lot of time in researching vendors and reading reviews, and I found that Jill had rave reviews! And trust me they do not disappoint! She is the real deal.
We had our engagement photo shoot with Jill and it was amazing! We had to reschedule several times due to extreme weather, such as 100° heat and thunderstorm/rain. She was always upbeat and positive about our ability to make a future date work. It was never an issue to reschedule with her.
During our engagement photo shoot, Jill made my fiancé and I feel very comfortable and relaxed. We can both feel a bit awkward in front of the camera, especially my fiancé. I was also a little worried about how our photos would turn out because, honestly, he is not the most photogenic (have to keep it real!) When Jill sent us our final engagement photos I was blown away. There were so many amazing photos to choose from! (which never happens!) I have since posted them on social media and I have gotten SO many compliments. Countless family and friends have commented on how genuine and joyful the photos look.
We have Jill booked as our wedding photographer and I am so excited to see how our wedding day is captured on film. I know it will be nothing less than absolutely fantastic! She does such a good job at making you feel comfortable and confident, and capturing the wonderful essence of the moment!
Thank you Jill for a wonderful experience and I can’t wait to work with you at my wedding!

Jill's work is STUNNING! We hired her a year and a half in advance before our wedding due to all the glowing reviews on The Knot and viewing her work online. After speaking with her over the phone, I knew right away she was exactly what I needed for our wedding day. I'm a type A person and don't really love getting dress up so the entire experience of hair, make-up, and professional pictures scares me a bit.
Jill was kind and understood my concerns - she was able to capture our personalities in our engagement photos and I am obsessed with them! I'm SO excited to see what she will do for our wedding! She made us feel comfortable the entire time and most importantly, she really took the time to understand who we are so that she could capture that in her images. She made us laugh and we had a blast.
This is an important note that I hope anyone who is interested in booking Jill reads because it matters:
She went out of her way during the covid-19 pandemic to (SAFELY and socially distant) take our engagement photos in June/July 2020 (once MA was able to re-open a bit) because my fiancé is early on his career as a surgeon & he never has time off. To make things more difficult, we both currently live in DC so getting back to MA together for more than a day was extremely hard during these times.
We had to reschedule our shoot from early April to late June/early July 2020 and she went above and beyond to make this happen. She was honest in her communication and was so creative and flexible in finding ways to make our tiny window of opportunity work out.
She drove over an hour to get to us and spent almost and hour and a half taking pictures of us. She then sent us over 300 amazing pictures to pick from, including some shots that weren't our "picture perfect instagram moments" but honestly, were so us and we LOVE those just as much!
If you're considering using Jill for your wedding but unsure at the moment, I hope this helps you:
Yes, she takes BEAUTIFUL photos and she is kind and so easy to be around but more than that, she goes out of her way to get to know you and your partner - to make sure she captures who you really are on your day not just pictures of you.
Thank you, Jill!! We are SO excited to see what you do for our wedding day!

Jill did a wonderful job with our day of changes to our wedding plans. She was very accommodating and I love her style and the way my photos came out. My only complaint is that the pictures were all very out of order - one minute they were some ceremony pictures and the next they were our first look photos. It makes it a little difficult to try and put them in order. Other than that, she did an amazing job and I would definitely recommend her to anyone getting married!!

Our prep call was exactly what we needed and she was so detailed and gave us answers to questions we didn’t know we should have. During our first look she gave guidance while letting us soak up the emotions together. The teasers we got back were stunning and I can’t wait to see the rest. Working with Jill was an absolute pleasure and her work is exceptional.

From getting ready ... all the way until we got off the Spirit of Boston, Jill from Jill Markley Studio took gorgeous photographs of my husband and I and all of our guests. She captured every second from when we said I do, to the toasts, to the gorgeous sunset, all the way to us celebrating on the dance floor. We get to relive our wedding every time we look at our gorgeous photographs. Jill is a true professional who attains to every detail. I am so happy she helped me fix my necklace or hair when it wasn't in the right placement. She also had wonderful ideas of how to pose and where to take photos in Boston's Seaport. That was so helpful because we have such a variety of photos and backgrounds including, water views, parks, industrial, city street and we even took photos at the Barking Crab with their lobster boughs. The minute I met Jill she felt like a close friend and I know when we get any future family photos we will use Jill again!
If you are looking for a great photographer who will help make your day perfect, choose Jill. You won't be upset!

My now wife and I chose Jill over a year before our wedding. We were recommended by a family member (who is also a wedding planner ) and quickly became comfortable with Jill after our first phone conversation. Her work speaks for itself, amazing! She does an outstanding job of capturing all of your big (and many small) moments. We LOVE our photos! Jill was easy to work with and was very organized. She helped us come up with a plan to get all of our important pictures done before the ceremony since we did a first look. We even got our pictures back well before the estimate! We used Jill for both engagement and wedding and we would not change a thing!! Thank you times a million, Jill!!

Jill has been so great to work with! We just got our engagement photos back, and we can't decide which ones we like the best because so many of them are so great. What a great problem to have! On top of that, she has been so accommodating to what we want and our location (she traveled to the Cape during rush hour at the end of the summer for our engagement photos, so that's amazing), and she's very kind and relatable. She made us both feel very comfortable, even though neither one of us really loves having our picture taken. She has such great ideas and presence, and I feel like our photos are really unique and special, not like typical engagement photos I've seen so many times. We can't wait until she shoots our wedding- the photos are going to be amazing!

Jill was our wedding photographer and we could not have been happier with the entire experience! She was the photographer for two of my brothers weddings so I knew she was going to be great, I just didn't know how great!
Jill was responsive prior to the day of the wedding and always made us feel extremely comfortable. Throughout the whole experience Jill was a positive light with her fun, laid back personality that calmed my nerves and allowed me to just be myself which she captured in her photos.
Two weeks after our wedding, I was pleasantly shocked to receive every single one of our photos, of which there are over 800! Jill did an absolutely amazing job capturing our love and genuine happiness in each photo. I still can't believe how fast we received our photos but I'm completely obsessed with all of them! Can't thank jill enough for being such a positive light in what was the most amazing day for my husband and me!

We are getting married in June 2020 and so excited for Jill to capture the day! We just got our engagement photos back and so happy with how they came out. Jill is professional and knows how to get the most out of our time. I was a little nervous about how to pose with my fiancé but she made us feel comfortable and natural with the process. Thinking about all the logistics and timing for the wedding day has been overwhelming to say the least, but with Jill’s experience I feel at ease with how to schedule the day so that we get the best photos and do not feel rushed. Can’t wait for the big day!

I can't say enough good things about Jill! Her talent, organization and ability to roll with the punches made our wedding day an absolute success!
It was clear from our first meeting that Jill is a true professional and knows exactly what she's doing behind the camera. Her expertise came in handy when planning our day-of photography! Jill will tell you that there's real time and then there's wedding time--believe her! Things go by so quickly and having a realistic plan for how you're going to get all the photos you want done -- from getting ready shots to the first-look to family photos -- makes all the difference! She was an expert in this area!
For a couple who doesn't like being in front of the camera, Jill made us feel totally at ease. She was fun and laidback but didn't hesitate to give us direction to get the best shots. Who wants a photographer who lets your slouch or take photos with lipstick on your teeth? Not me! She was happy to jump in the car and be driven around to different photo locations and didn't stop shooting the entire time we were together.
From the photos I saw while she was shooting, I have no doubt that our wedding was captured beautifully and we can't wait to see the final result! I can't recommend Jill highly enough!

I have used Jill now for my Engagement, Wedding, Maternity AND Boudoir photos. Before my engagement shoot, I had never been professionally photographed, and she made it SO easy. I have already written a review for the amazing job she did for my wedding, so this one will focus more on the boudoir.
I was hesitant at first to do a boudoir shoot since I had just had a baby less than 2 years before the shoot and was not feeling the most confident in my body. However,
Jill made me feel (and look) fantastic.
It is truly amazing what Jill can do with a camera. Her style is what drew me to her from the start, and that definitely transfers to her boudoir work as well. Her images are always tasteful, yet incredibly sexy. She is a true artist with a passion for her work.
I would (and often do) recommend Jill Markley Studios to anyone in the market for a photographer of any kind, and especially those who are interested in trying a boudoir shoot. You will not be disappointed!

I cannot say enough great things about Jill! She made the process of choosing a photographer simple! She was professional and knowledgeable from the beginning and helped guide me through choosing my wedding package. I had a small wedding and Jill was able to capture our day perfectly! I am so impressed with her work! I cannot recommend Jill enough!

My husband and I couldn't be happier with the work Jill Markley did for our wedding and engagement photos. We reached out to her because of her amazing reviews on The Knot and now we understand why everyone has had a five star experience with her.
Leading up to the wedding she made sure we got every picture we could think of and suggested a few more we never would have thought of that we love. The morning of the wedding she covered everything from candids in the hotel room getting ready to the first look to the ceremony and reception. Her and her team really captured the whole day and night perfectly without feeling intrusive - I don't know how they did it.
Jill has such a gift for capturing your most cherished moments. My husband and I would highly recommend her!

We loved working with Jill on our wedding day! She made us feel comfortable from the moment we met her and we knew we were in the best hands! We chose Jill based on her attention to detail and talent for candids; we can’t wait to see all of our vision illustrated through her eyes. I’d highly recommend Jill for any photography needs- we can’t wait to do a family portrait with our pups next!

My husband and I just got married on 10/27/18. Jill and her lovely assistant, Courtney, photographed the event for us. Leading up to the wedding, Jill was extremely organized in helping us plan, which helped us stay on track with our timeline on the day of. We found Jill's package pricing to be very fair and comparable with other vendors in this are. She was also happy to stay an extra hour at our reception when we asked. Since our wedding was just a couple days ago, we don't have our pictures yet. However, we can confidently say that Jill was wonderful and professional to work with on our day and we would recommend her to any couple.

We had a wonderful time with our engagement photoshoot. My fiancee and I had never done one before so we were a little shy and awkward at first but Jill did a. great job helping to break the ice. I can't wait to see how the photos come out and to have her capture my wedding next September!

Working with Jill and her assistants was fantastic! She got all the bridal party and family photos efficiently before the ceremony so everyone could enjoy the party! She was a great organizer and knew that we were on a time crunch getting from Boston to Granite links, and organized a bunch of fun photos quickly! Jills assistants were also very professional and courteous, make sure we were comfortable and ready for their shots, holding my glasses occasionally and bouquet! Jill also caught a beautiful sunset and made sure that we got that in the background, even waited a few minutes out in the cold 45° weather to get the shots! Great job Jill, we look forward to seeing the amazing shots !

Jill is AWESOME! My fiance and I were both really nervous about taking our engagement photos. Jill was really good at explaining what she visioned and instructing us on how to pose. She is super helpful and gets back to you right away whenever you have questions. Cant wait for the wedding in July and see those photos Im sure they will be great

My wedding was planned remotely and I found Jill through my coordinator's recommendation. From the first phone consult I knew Jill was the right choice for us. Her enthusiasm for her craft and her ability to keenly listen for what we were looking for made the decision easy. On-site she still managed to exceed our expectations. She was sensitive to the people involved (super hot day and an outdoor wedding), clear in direction, and creative in approach. She tapped us when she needed us and worked stealthily when she didn't. I recommend her highly!!!

For our wedding night and the venue we chose, having sunset photos was very important to us with the amazing view we had! We spoke with Jill leading up to our event and with all her experience with weddings, she had the brilliant idea of having us cut our cocktail hour short to help with the timeline of events and sunset photos! If it wasn't for her, we would have NEVER been able to capture the most beautiful sunset on our wedding night. She tried a new technique and took the MOST incredible photos of us. Jill has worked so many weddings and knows the ins and outs, the flow of events and timing on how long pictures will take etc. As a planner, I would say this is THE most important aspect you want to have in a photographer, as you do not want to worry about these details on your wedding day. We were so thankful to have her guidance throughout the planning process, and setting us up for success on our wedding day! We felt confident she would capture everything and our day would flow perfectly. We cannot wait to see the rest of our photos, and we know they will be amazing! Thank you so much for everything Jill, you are amazing at what you do!

I absolutely LOVED working with Jill! I booked Jill back in April to photograph my September 2018 wedding. I went to meet with her in person to see some of her work and to chat and see if she’d be the right fit, and I was sold from the minute I met her! Jill was so easy to talk with and work with; she was warm and inviting, funny, and full of wonderful ideas for our photos. She made the photography portion of wedding planning an absolute breeze, with plenty of great suggestions and tips for making sure we got what we wanted, and for keeping our heads in check when it came to planning out the number of shots and complexity vs the time we had allotted for photos.
On the day of the wedding, she was prompt, brought with her the most amazing assistant and second photographer (we had requested 2 as part of the package), and all three were super friendly helpful and excited to be there with my husband and I and all of our family and friends. They did a great job keeping things on schedule and moving things along during family photos when people got a little distracted. Jill was easy to find all night if we wanted any extra pictures at the reception, and she made sure to get in some beautiful shots for us of just my husband and I - I didn’t make any requests for specific shots as I had seen her work and trusted she’d know what to do, and boy did she ever! The icing on the cake for me (and everyone I know who saw) was when I got back to my room late after the wedding and to my surprise had the best gift ever from Jill of a few teasers up on Facebook within HOURS of her leaving! And I can’t gush enough about how absolutely beyond incredible the pictures were! They more than exceeded expectations, and everyone who saw them was so shocked and impressed at both how quickly they were put up and by how absolutely stunning they were. Jill was absolutely one of the best choices I made when planning my wedding, and I would highly recommend you give her a call and check out her sight if you’re getting married in MA and in need of a fantastic photographer!!

My now husband and I hired Jill to do our Engagement and Wedding pictures for our Wedding at the Andover Country Club this past October. Jill did an absolutely amazing job, especially with our rather large family. She was like having a second co-ordinator, which was extremely helpful! I originally found Jill through the Knot and can say it was one of the best decisions that we made. I would HIGHLY recommend Jill to anyone.

Where do I begin with Jill? Other than the fact she is incredibly sweet, personable and caring- she is extremely talented. She exceeded every expectation my new husband and I could have envisioned. Jill photographed my husband and I, for both our engagement & wedding photos. Jill knows exactly how to capture the perfect shot. Alongside Jill, is her assistant Vanessa. Vanessa is a powerhouse, who assists Jill in capturing the most amazing, intimate and incredibly important moments of your life! We couldn’t have been more THRILLED with Jill markley studios. I recommend Jill to everyone who is dedicated to capturing the most beautiful photographs- that will sincerely bring life-long beautiful memories.

My Fiancé and I hired Jill for our Engagement pictures. They came out beautiful and we hired Jill for our Wedding in June of 2019.
Jill was awesome! She made us feel so comfortable during our session. She also has a great eye, amazing creativity, and her ideas turned out beautiful.
We used our Engagement pictures for our Save the Dates, and have received nothing but compliments.
We are very excited Jill will be photographing our Wedding, we can't wait to work with her again. We know our Wedding pictures will be beautiful.
We were so happy with our Engagement photos that we hired Jill to photograph our Wedding, and we were not disappointed. Jill is passionate about what she does and it is evident in every photograph. We highly recommend Jill.

We get married a year from today and a photographer was one of the first vendors on our list to find. Once we talked to Jill we knew that she was our ideal photographer and that she would be the be person to capture our wedding day. We were reaffirmed after our engagement shoot. Jill made us feel so comfortable and like ourselves for the entire shoot. We can't wait to see the photos and are looking forward to working with her more!

I had a very unique wedding ceremony where my husband and I jumped off a bridge for the ceremony. In order to get the perfect shot, Jill waded in a lake and probably ruined her shoes! And she did get the perfect shot! In addition to her amazing photography, Jill's professionalism and organization helped me plan my wedding and anticipate details I might otherwise have forgotten. I'm so luck to have had her as a photographer. Thanks Jill!!!

At a small family wedding, I asked Jill if she might take a few pictures of my family together. As a mom of two rambunctious boys i knew If I got one with us all of us looking at the camera it would be a miracle! Jill did a little “mini photo shoot” and took THE MOST AMAZING pictures for us! I printed 5 of them on canvas, love them so much!!
If I could go back in time and have her shoot my wedding, I would! She’s unbelievable!!!

We just got our engagement photos back from our session with Jill and we are blown away! There are so many great ones we are going to have trouble picking one (or even a few) for our save the dates! Jill was great during the shoot and gave great pointers and was more than willing to work with my “good side”. We cannot wait to work with Jill for our big day, and do not think you’d be disappointed in choosing her to be your photographer!

I would highly recommend Jill for your wedding! She was incredible to work with from the very first conversation I had with her. She is extremely patient and takes time to thoroughly discuss details and offer suggestions. She's truly professional and was extremely helpful in the days leading up to the wedding. She was super helpful with logistical details that I would have never thought about on my own. She took so much time to discuss details over the phone and not once did I feel rushed. She is extremely detail oriented and took time to confirm details for a second and third time as I was worried about how the timing of everything would work out the day of our wedding. She is very responsive and easy to communicate with. She is energetic, easy going and was the perfect balance of relaxed but also had control over the situation. Jill and her assistant (Vanessa) went above and beyond to make sure we had great shots before the ceremony and at the reception. The afternoon of my wedding was very hectic but they were so patient with us and took such amazing photos! I’m so happy that we chose Jill to photograph our special day!
