J.R. Owen & Co.

ckage! It is 110% worth every penny! You will not be disappointed! They were so fun to work with and really made taking our pictures a blast! 💙

ith how the photos turned out. It was so hard to choose from all the photos Rachel had taken but she helped me narrow down to get a good mix and my groom was so surprised and loved how they turned out. I ended up with the 12 photo package and the presentation of everything was absolutely beautiful.

assured us they would still be photographing our special day! The day comes and we were so lucky to have Jeff, Jerry and Jim!! This trio made our day smooth, flawless, and so much fun!!! Jeff made it his mission to get to know our bridal party, family and friends BY NAME and quickly knew our relationship with each of them! Talk about attention to detail!!! By halfway through the day it was clear to my husband and I that not only did we make the best decision by working with Jeff and Rachel! Jeff's light hearted and fun energy captured not only your traditional wedding pictures but pure happiness of every single involved in our special day!!! I can't say enough good things about J.R. Owen & Co! We definitely found a company that not only cares about capturing the true beauty of your day but truly care about you and we will continue to use them in our future photographs!!!!!

capturing the day. our pictures are wonderful!

eff was available and took our pictures alone. We could not have been more disappointed. Either my husband or I have our eyes closed in each picture, he made no suggestions to get nice images (as we were on a vista over looking a lake), and the angles are all awful. To top it off, he left an hour early and made a speech to our family that was incredibly uncomfortable. Our photos are basically unusable and I’m continually extremely sad (months later) about the terrible quality - as I’d we needed another wedding disappointment after canceling our celebration due to the pandemic. All said. Absolutely use Rachel, but I’d suggest avoiding working with Jeff.

ing you feel relaxed and natural while taking the pictures. All of our photos turned out incredible and you can really feel our emotion in them! Jeff and Rachel both were so easy to work with and our friends and family thought they were great! They were so accommodating, understanding and helpful during all of the craziness of Covid too. I could not recommend them enough for your wedding!

he way, and able to fit in with our group. Well...they BLEW us away with their ability to do ALL of these things better than we could have even imagined. They thought of EVERYTHING! Things we did not even think we needed to plan for! Our images are something that we can treasure forever! Our friends and family are obsessed with the photos and we truly cannot pick our favorites....we love them all!

tings before the wedding, locking down the timeline and making sure that all the important people were in the notes. Rachel and Jeff both bring their own eye to the wedding photography. Jeff keeps things light, fun, and takes a TON of pictures. Rachel focuses on the artistic photos and sets up beautiful shots. BOTH take beautiful photos. It was a pleasure having them both photograph our wedding because we got the best of both worlds. We got our photos extremely fast and everyone was extremely happy with the results. The other great thing is that Jeff and Rachel want you to be happy with your photos, so if there is a perfect picture but one person's eyes are closed, they are more than happy to fix it. GREAT photographers. HIRE THEM.

very prompt with all responses and answered questions whenever I asked. They made sure that we felt comfortable and that we got everything we wanted. We were also very impressed with how fast our pictures were completed, they were done in less than two weeks only reason we didn't get them for a little longer is because we were still on our honeymoon! It was a wonderful surprise to come home to have these so quickly and so beautiful. The pictures were all we could have imagined and more, they were beautiful and picking our favorites has proved to be impossible. They worked together wonderfully to give a beautiful mix of creative and traditional photos. I would hire them for our wedding again if we could do it over and would use them for pictures in the future without hesitation! They had many surprises and every single one was wonderful!

and making groups feel relaxed which really shines through in the photos. They are both incredibly accommodating and patient, and we loved working with them. I could not recommend them enough for your wedding!

nication throughout the entire process from planning the wedding to the actual wedding day. We had a great time taking our engagement photos (Jeff and Rachel drove to Sox Park and the Kenzie Bridge in Chicago for us). Our biggest highlight was the video interview; every wedding guest loved it and it was so unique to other weddings. Jeff and Rachel are incredibly nice and genuine people. You won't be disappointed with them.

r wedding album with them. If you are looking for fun, amazing and professional photographers look no further!

just really made the whole experience from booking to the actual day, to reviewing the final product super easy and enjoyable and natural. Plus ABSOLUTELY STUNNING JOB!!!

or our wedding. My husband and I were very happy with Jeff and Rachel. Jeff was our photographer and we had videography too. They went above and beyond to capture every moment of our day. He even captured moments we forgot happened. They truly care about what they do and making their clients happy. They did such a great job all night you didn't even notice them being there as they didn't get in anyone's way. They are extremely responsive with any questions you have. Jeff was extremely creative with his pictures. Our family and guests couldn't compliment on what an amazing job they did with capturing such gorgeous pictures and an amazing video. They truly exceeded expectations and would recommend them to anyone.

amily and friends. JR Owen & Co is very reasonably priced compared to other photographers we researched, and you get an incredible amount of pictures! They were very helpful in editing some pictures for us and they turned around all of our wedding pictures in less than a month. We look forward to having these hang in our home forever!

s capture the beauty and emotion of every moment. We cried when we saw them for the first time because they just knew how to capture every memory perfectly. You can’t go wrong with them. If you want beautiful photos, look no further! We can’t wait to use them for more special moments in our lives!

the day and I was not expecting that. Looking at the photos I can remember exactly how I felt in that moment. Nothing was forced or too staged. Friends who have been to many weddings said the pictures turned out amazing and the best dancing shots they have ever seen. There were so many little moments captured that I am so thankful for! Jeff was an amazing photographer and made us look amazing. I would recommend a million times!!

r seen.  And I have been in, and attended, many, many weddings. What a great husband and wife duo! They compliment each other so well.  They were so easy to work with. Jeff’s quirky sense of humor, kept everyone laughing. And kept the mood light. Rachel’s creativity and beautiful eye for lighting and staging was absolutely terrific. We were So Blessed to be able to have both Jeff and Rachel as our photographers. We got a link to our photos, over 900 of them, right after we returned from our honeymoon. We have circulated the link to our guests and Everyone that has viewed them, has complimented our photographers! Our guests also said, how nice both Rachel and Jeff were. I don’t know how we will be able to narrow down our pictures, as each one is so well done! Luckily Rachel is going to help us with that too! JR Owens really went above and beyond for us! They captured the beauty of the day. They captured the emotion of the day. They were not intrusive, and we are so blessed to have such lovely photos that we will cherish for many years to come! I would give them 10 stars!!

or your wedding photography. Also, if you have the budget for it, hire both of them to shoot your wedding. They are an amazing team when they work together and they bounce so many awesome ideas off each other throughout the day. Jeff and Rachel are fun, personable and will make you feel right at home as soon as you meet them. Be prepared for a day of laughter, fun and damn good photography! My wedding day was absolutely perfect in every way and they documented the day like no other could!

ality makes you feel at ease and it is always nice knowing your photographer from previous weddings (Jeff did my husband’s brother and best friend’s wedding too). The pictures turned out great! I also used Rachel for a boudoir photo shoot. She made me feel very comfortable and the pictures turned out great. My husband loved the album! Overall, would easily recommend Jeff and Rachel to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

hey are so professional and work very hard to capture all your beautiful moments. They even did a engagement documentary for us as well and it turned out so beautiful! We can’t express enough how thankful we are to have found JR. We’ve decided JR is going to do all of our photography moving forward.

n &Co and look forwarding to working with them again for any future photography needs.

nd the perfect scenery for our photos! Our wedding party plans to use them and we would recommend them to anyone that wants photographers that truly care about you. Thank you for making our day special!

g our engagement photos and wedding photos through Jeff & Rachel. They are amazing, quick and knowledgeable. They made sure we stayed on time on our wedding day and helped everything run smooth. They also got our pictures back to us very quickly! I would recommend them to anyone!

e all had. I will use them again for all my children’s photos and family photos as well. I had a great time working with them!

yond our expectations and then some. If you’re looking for a beautiful wedding experience with timeless photographs to always remember that day then look no further than Jeff and Rachel Owen of J.R. Owen and Co!

people we met with didn't relate to us, personality was off, or was to corporate for our taste. Photo and video were very important to us because well...they will capture the memory of our big day! We finally met Jeff and Rachel and we knew immediately after we met with them that we wanted to work with them. They took us in like family and gave us the reassurance that our memories with be captured and displayed with gorgeous artistic ability. Aside from inspiration from Pinterest, we let Jeff and Rachel have all the creative freedom they wanted, and they did not disappoint. My wife and I have large families, a large wedding party, and many guests attend our wedding. Jeff and Rachel were able to handle all the craziness, capture all the amazing and fun moments of our wedding, and show us highlights from our wonderful day, and we couldn't have been more happier. I could not be more grateful for all Jeff and Rachel did, needless to say stop searching and give J&R Owen Co. a chance. I guarantee, you wont pass them up after meeting with them! They have gained a customer forever and we will be recommending them to friends as they begin to plan their special day!

as our videographer and we can’t wait to see the video! They all did such a great job and made it so much fun. I would highly recommend JR Owen, especially having the photographers and videographer that know each other and have worked together. Rachel is going to be creating our photo album and we can’t wait to see what she designs. She is so amazing and creative!

very stress free! She did exactly as we asked on the day of the wedding and respected all of our wishes. The pictures turned out absolutely amazing and they are a wonderful way for us to forever remember that special day. I would highly HIGHLY recommend them to anyone!!

y are so easy going and it was so relaxed when it came to the photos. They made sure to go exactly off of the list of photos I wanted to have and throw in some of their ideas as well! I am so pleased and excited for the wedding photos they took and would recommend them to anyone who wants a professional, fun, and reliable company to do their wedding photos!

et and are honest, yet accommodating to what you are looking for. Their work is beautiful and we are so pleased with our pictures. Highly recommend, go check them out!

s of such a big part of your day away. The day of my wedding Rachel was on it! She made the day so much fun and everyone loved her! We also got a videographer and was so much more than I expected! They were such a great and fun team that they were recognized by most at the whole wedding! The picture turn around was incredibly quick and simply breathtaking. I can't thank Rachel enough for helping me relive the best day of my life looking back at these amazing moments. I have already recommended them to other family and friends for weddings coming up. I will forever use them from now on! If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Thank you J.R. Owen & Co.!!!!

l to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

le intimidated, but I was absolutely blown away by how great Rachel, Jeff and their staff were from step 1 to 100. Both were extremely pleasant and willing to negotiate in price. For what we paid we had 2 photographers, a videographer and awesome photo booth and when comparing to other photo companies came to a great price total. Rachel was awesome for me- someone who isnt very photogenic and not sure of how to take nice pictures really. She was able to get family and friends who are hard to smile and pose in some great shots and pictures and I cant wait to see how they all turned out :)

and using the space around us for absolutely beautiful pictures. We really appreciated how Rachel was able to get all of the family pictures we wanted in a very stress free way so that we could get them done and really start enjoying our day! They also had our images ready in less than two weeks. We can not recommend J.R. Owen enough. This was definitely one of the best decisions we made during the planning process. Thanks Rachel and Jeff!

and Jeff (and Mike) ensured that we got the perfect shots of our special day! The captured every small detail, every big moment, and the personalities of us and our guests! The slideshow during the reception was wonderful and our guests loved everything! Jeff and Mike went above and beyond to make sure every part of our day will be remembered.

h Jeff and Rachel, we knew that their personal touch and attention to detail were for us. They truly care about their clients and make a great team. Jeff took our engagement photos, making us feel comfortable in the process and we couldn’t have been happier with his fantastic results! His friendly and easy-going demeanor, together with his high level of professionalism are exceptional! Leading up to our wedding day, Jeff was very accommodating and generous with his time, always quick to answer phone calls and e-mails. Jeff also met with us in person prior to our wedding day, giving us a chance to get to know him better, which in turn led to peace of mind by the time our wedding arrived. On the day of the wedding, Jeff and Mike were our photographers and our videographer was Jim. They exceeded our expectations and more! Jeff and Mike had exceptional communication throughout the entire day which led to a wide variety and large quantity of high quality photos. They listened to us and took into account our requests of a mix of traditional and candid photos. We were very specific with special photo must haves and their results were stunning! At the reception, Jeff set up a highlight preview slide show of photos taken during our day which was a special added touch. Jim did a fantastic job with the videography. He captured the entire day and the quality of the video is outstanding. Jim not only put together a wonderful comprehensive wedding video, but he also put together a very nice highlight video for us that included the key events of the day. Jim did an excellent job of recording our live band which was very important to us. Jeff, Mike and Jim were discrete with the camera and their candid photos and footage are priceless! Despite our cold and damp wedding day, Jeff and Jim were more than willing to once again, pack up their equipment, grab a golf cart and and lead us to the most scenic spots on the golf course for more lasting memories! Without a doubt, we highly recommend J.R. Owen and Co. for your Wedding Photography and Videography!

and Rachel. They are very professional, yet super personable. They took their time getting to know us and what we liked. We would absolutely hire them again for our next event!!!

our wedding photos. It was so nice to get to know the people behind the camera and not have a complete stranger shoot our wedding. Rachel shot our engagement photos and is so creative! She helped us design save the dates that blew everyone away! Jeff shot our wedding and made it so much fun! We had so many laughs. He made our day even more enjoyable. Our photos are incredible and captured so many amazing moments. We're so excited to see our wedding album when it is finished! I can't thank them both enough for everything they have done for us. We plan to use their photography services in the future!

Jeff met us in Chicago the Monday before Thanksgiving to take a ton of pictures of us and our pup that we could use for our christmas card and save the date. We had the photos by WEDNESDAY! They were perfect! His photography skills are remarkable. The wedding was perfect. Rachel was so professional and kind and so was Jeff the entire time with our crazy bunch. The way they set up shots you could tell they knew what they were doing. The pictures are STUNNING one actually made me gaps it was so beautiful! They are the best I am so glad we went with them!!!

them to anyone, and in fact already have! Rachel and Jeff are the best and are affordable! Thank you again for everything.

ow us and our wedding style. We spent hours that initial meeting just getting to know each other. After the appointment, my husband and I walked out and didn't even need to have a discussion. We knew right away J.R. Owen and Company was the perfect fit. We actually canceled our other appointments and emailed Rachel that night with our decision. It was the best decision! The day of the wedding Rachel made Michael and I feel so special. At the church we didn't even realize she was there. She is incredible at what she does and her photos are stunning. I am beyond thrilled to have these pictures that we will have for years and years. I highly recommend working with Rachel and Jeff.

ble. It was so easy. We met with Jeff twice before the wedding and he had such a great understanding of what we wanted that everything went smoothly. It was also fun and added to the special day. They were not intrusive but flexible. We could not have asked for a better photographer and can't wait to see the video.

autiful photos that I didn't even think would be possible for our late fall wedding.
