When I first decided to go with Jill, I felt very excited. Her pictures online looked stunning, her communication was quick, and overall, it seemed very professional. I do wish I'd...
asked to talk with her on video or in person so we had a better idea of if it was a personality match. A few days before the wedding, she added a second photographer to our invoice without first discussing it with me, which was my first orange flag. We were able to clear that up relatively quick. The day of the wedding, I had several members come up to me with remarks about Jill's personality. This continued through the rest of the day, with many saying that it didn't seem like ill intention, just a complete lack of tact. We all agreed that that something we would be able to overlook as long as the pictures turned out well.
When I say I was disappointed, that doesn't even begin to cover it. I'm an honest, objective person. The getting ready pictures were beautiful and had the artsy, romantic feel I asked her for. The pictures she took of my husband and his groomsmen were also beautiful. Now the actual wedding? There was no perspective, no attempt to create a mood. I didn't like any of the pictures from our ceremony, which is unfortunate because she was the only one taking photos. I got two pictures of my dad walking me down, and one of them was blurry. She took ONE picture of my husband and I's entrance with our bridal party, and it wasn't a great angle. We got NO beautiful, sweet intimate photos with my husband and I. And this was discussed by my mother and I after the wedding, because we both went through them looking for some portraits we could put up in our homes. I will say, we had many people asking for photos during the wedding and she may have felt like she couldn't say no getting pulled away so muc. But there were also several times during the wedding that we were looking for her because something beautiful or memorable was happening, and we couldn't find her. We ended up RETAKING our wedding portraits with another photographer, and they are MILES better than any of the ones from our wedding. I'm so mad at myself for not going with the other photographer. For those looking, trust your gut, make sure you meet with the photographer first, and ask to see some recent examples. We can't redo our wedding day, but I'm so happy we ended up retaking them elsewhere, because now we have some beautiful photos that can truly go up in our home. I do wish Jill all the best and I don't think she's a bad person at all, I think she just did not quite deliver, and I don't think we would work with her again.
So helpful and great, pictures turned out amazing!!!

re those precious moments that you can’t get back, when you are too busy or too preoccupied to notice. My husband and I love Jill’s artistry in how she choses to capture the magical moments of your special day! Jill is also reasonably priced compared to some other wedding photographers.

Jill was truly incredible! She arrived right on time, and got started immediately. She followed us through out the ceremony and reception like our own personal Paparazzi setting up...
her equipment so fast and tearing down to move to the next spot right on que. The equipment was NEVER a problem for a smaller venue. She predicted the angles before we were even there snapping that BEST SHOT beautifully. It was outstanding! The behind the scenes photos are modest and beautiful, capturing the tenderest of moments with me looking at myself right before the walk. She posed my veil and I so perfectly. She helped me look so young and posed me to capture my most beautiful angles. The ceremony was perfectly captured, even the heart melting face of my husband tearing up when reading his vows to me.. the photo crumbles my heart every time I see it. The first dance was crystal clear and she caught me mid dance so perfectly, you could see the joy in our smiles. Jill is very professional but blends right into your family and friends so well my guests loved her! Even the most introverted of my family posed for her. The big Finale was at night. Jill performed some trick shots in the dark with her camera and captured these insanely stunning photos of us with sparklers, one of my guests wrote our names in the dark with them and the resulting trick shot photo was jaw dropping. Her idea of Lanterns lit over the night sky and river were the most romantic things I’ve ever seen. My guests and I were mesmerized!! She always had an idea up her sleeve, she worked with what she had, my shoes, my dress, the rings, the Veil, flowers, and more. Afterwards, she helped me through the review of the thousands of photos and was so personal to me and what my needs were. She promptly answered my questions and was so very patient with us. She has earned my business for life! I can’t wait to see the next precious moments in time time she captures for my family and I.
We hired Jill just 2 weeks out from our small
Wedding due to COVID. Within about an hour she took over 300 photos. It was wonderful.
Jill arrived on time and was very attentive to every detail. She took feedback and did research on what I wanted beforehand so that we got a ton of shots To choose from. She was fu...

apture precious moments. We recommend doing the bridal portrait and ordering the canvas print out for display at the reception. Our guests were in awe. We also did a photo shoot in her studio the day after our ceremony and it was so intimate and produced some of you favorite photos capturing our personalities and our relationship perfectly. Jill was so easy to work with and we recommend her for any photo shoot. We are currently trying to make arrangements for our soon-to-be first born photo session. We had our wedding in Ohio with family, but Jill is willing to travel out of state for a reasonable price to capture our upcoming moments with our newborn. We are so grateful to have someone that took time to get to know us and our personalities to not only capture our wedding but our future first moments as a family.

RY flexible with our budget. I was hesitant because normally when something is affordable or inexpensive the quality is much lower. I WAS WRONG by far. Jill's professionalism and attentiveness was outstanding. She catered to all my bridezilla needs and made one less thing stressful on a very stressful day. You'd be foolish not to consider Jill to photograph your special day.

rtantly affordable. Her unique vision captures photographs that are beautiful and mind blowing. From the initial meeting, to the engagement photo session to the wedding day and after everything was over weeks later, Jill provided high quality work. She actually delivered our wedding albums to our home! The albums are stunning. This very important day that you spend countless hours planning should be remembered in a special way. We highly recommend Jill Matthews Photograpy.
Well, we are the couple in the current photo! I am so happy that I found Jill to record our special day. Jill is wonderful at what she does.., capturing memories! She had so m...
any wonderful idea's and was willing to photograph any idea's we had as well.
I have been to many weddings/events where the photographer interrupts during the special day( Jill did not). Jill is creative, talented and passionate about what she does. She listens and is understanding of a budget (no hidden fees or "surprises"). Jill has gone above and beyond to master her talent as a photographer. I cannot say enough about her performance, talent and personality. Do not think twice about hiring her for any of your photography needs.
Jill did our wedding the day before Easter and she was amazing! She gave us everything we wanted and more! She is such a pleasure to work with. Thank you for everything Jill!

e having her in our home. She really captured the emotion of the day as well as told our unique story...in photos . As Thank you favors for our guests Jill did couples shots. I REALLY APPRECIATED Jill !!! With all the details in wedding planning & getting married in our home..I didnt have a worry with Jill..she took GREAT care of us!!!!
Jill shot my dear friends wedding back in 1999. I have to say the images are still looking brand new and the style is still current looking. I will NEVER forget her cool studio and...
the really beautiful work that she did in different colors, etc. I had never seen some of the technology back then that she was using. Her affiliation with PPA kept her at a cutting edge. She tells me she is still a PPA member and continuing her education.
Over time, Jill has been more than a photographer but a real friend as well. I am grateful to know her and I hope her talent will continue to bless other couples weddings.
