Jill Markley Studios

s and creative ideas that turned out amazing. She made my parents feel completely at ease and truly went above and beyond throughout the day. In just two hours, Jill delivered 600 photos—and I genuinely love every single one of them. Highly recommend!

ig day to coordinate everything in advance so the day went accordingly with no issues! :) My husband and I can definitely be camera-shy but Jill made us both feel so comfortable and helped us get amazing photos! I highly recommend hiring Jill as your photographer :)

u for a beautiful day at The Inn on Tbe Golden Pond for the Ceremony, the pictures at the historic covered bridge and the memorable picnic pictures on the beach! We love all of them!

o 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!)!

isappointed. 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.

gement photos which we fell in love with so we knew we had to use her for our wedding . I will Definitely use her for all of our future life events .

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!!!

nd 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!

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!

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 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!

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!

e 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!

nted 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.

lity 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!!

regret it. The pictures of our wedding came out beautiful and we love the final result, very much thanks to Jill. We will 110% recommend her to others. We are so very happy that she was our photographer!

king sure everything was organized before our day. We loved working with her and are so so happy with our photos. I would absolutely recommend Jill to others.

henomonal 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!!

hotos taken. We are anxiously awaiting our wedding pics but the few pictures (sneak peaks) she has sent us were amazing!!!! Cant wait to see the rest!

ncé 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!

erience. Also, her ability to work the natural lighting is top notch!

r 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!

at I’ve seen so far is incredible! The planning process went smoothly and Jill gave us good advice and ideas. The day of, she absolutely nailed it. Everyone in the bridal party was saying how great she was. Highly recommend!!

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!!

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.

about the timeline that was really helpful. Despite some trouble with the weather, she stayed cool under pressure and made the entire family and wedding party (24 people!) feel at ease. I cannot wait to put together our album!!

ght our puppy for the shoot and he was crazy (as puppies can be) and she was SUPER talented and got him poised in some great pictures with us! I can’t wait to work with her for my wedding in May!

ptured 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!

, when to move (no starfish hands! haha), and finds the perfect lighting. I am so happy that we also have her for our wedding day!!

d calm presence on our wedding day, which was much appreciated. Our photos turned out beautiful, and we will certainly treasure them for many many years to come!

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!!

un and memorable . Jill also did my cousins wedding photos that came out beautiful which is how I knew I could trust her with our photos . I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful experience .

oblem 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!

o 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!

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!

turing a memorable moment! I would absolutely recommend Jill to anyone looking for a photographer!

r moments. We highly recommend Jill!

eautiful and we received them quickly! Highly recommend
