About this vendor
Jeff and I are a husband and wife photography team who actually met while photographing a wedding. We started photographing together before we were married, so originally kept Jeff's company name ImageIcon. After many brides confusing us with a big studio, and seven years of marriage, we decided is was time to name to company after ourselves. We're a small personalized service and we want that to reflect in our name and branding. We pride ourselves on being progressive with our style and treating each wedding as if it were our own. Over the years Jeff and I have had the privilege of capturing wedding day memories for over 2,000 happy couples. We would love to do the same for you!

I don't even have words for how great of an experience I had with Rachel. The makeup and hair was gorgeous, and I used to be a professional artist. The vibes were set from the beginning and Rachel just made me feel SO comfortable. She had tons of helpful items (pins, tape, etc), wine, gorgeous accessories, and is clearly a master of lighting. I don't even have my pics back, but just the unretouched images from her camera screen made my jaw drop. She posed me down to the last detail, so I didn't have to worry about if I looked wrong. I will absolutely come back for more and would recommend her to anyone looking - no matter how you feel about your looks, she will SHOW you how beautiful you are. Worth the drive from Chicago any day of the week. <3
Ok, so let me just start off by saying if you need help with photos for any special event... J.R. Owen & Co is where you need to go. They are absolutely without a doubt the most talented duo of photographers I have ever seen. Rachel and Jeff have 100% found the thing they were meant to be doing because they do it to the highest level and quality you could ask for. Their partner doing video, Jim, is also such a great talent. But as you all know service on a special day doesn't stop there. This team is so nice, so fun, and absolutely a pleasure to be around. They were helpful, insightful, were always willing to crack a joke or try a pose and they just could not have been better to partner with on my our wedding day. I cannot recommend or say enough about this team. They have a better than high quality product, they are efficient, they are fun, and if you are considering hiring them, you will not be let down in any way. 10/10 of ten would do it again 10/10 would recommend!
I have never seen more stunning photos taken. Jeff and Rachel work as a fantastic team to take the traditional as well as the fun and creative photos. they captured so many beautiful moments! I couldn't say enough about how beautiful the photos came out! 10/10 would absolutely recommend
Last night I plugged the jpeg into our large screen TV and put the photos on slide show. I was AMAZED. Jeff and Rachel truly captured the entire essence of the evening. Amazing. I have to say their work is second to none. I am so incredibly relieved that we hired Jeff and Rachel. Having these photos tell the story of an evening that was mostly a blur means the world to me. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a photographer and hope to work with Jeff and Rachel again when we renew our nuptials. :-)
Jeff & Rachel put so much into their work! Our pictures turned out absolutely breathtaking! If you are going to splurge on anything I would highly recommend going with the top package! 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! 💙
I used JR Owen for boudoir photos as a gift for my groom for our wedding. I was nervous about the whole experience, but Rachel made me so comfortable, and I could not be happier with 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.
Wow! Where do we even begin?! Our wedding was supposed to be in May of 2020 but due to covid we had to move it to June of 2021. Jeff and Rachel made changing our date smooth and reassured 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!!!!!
wish i could give 10 stars! the couple meetings we had were, honestly, mostly chit chat. we really clicked, and jeff and rachel understood us so easily. it obviously helped them in capturing the day. our pictures are wonderful!
Rachel took pictures at my friends wedding and they were stunning! So we decided to use the team for our wedding, although we ended up having a really small wedding due to COVID. Jeff 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.
Rachel and Jeff are absolutely amazing! Rachel did our engagement photos, my boudoir shoot, as well as our wedding and we couldn't be happier with the pictures. She is great at making 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!
Putting into words what Jeff and Rachel did for our wedding day is almost impossible. We had a few key things that we wanted out of our photographers: attention to detail, not in the 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!
I found J.R. Owen at a bridal show. I was drawn to them because they are a husband and wife team and they really seem to care about the weddings that they shoot. We had several meetings 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.
They were wonderful to work with! From the first meeting all the way through the wedding they seemed to really want to get to know us and our vision and what we wanted. They were 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!
Rachel and Jeff are absolutely amazing! Rachel did our engagement photos as well as our wedding and we couldn't be happier with the pictures. She is great at incorporating everyone 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!
Jeff and Rachel were beyond accommodating for us on our special day. They stayed the entire day (nearly 13 hours) and were professional throughout the day. There was constant communication 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.
I am so happy we chose J.R. Owen and Co. to take our wedding photos! Rachel and Jeff are both wonderful to work with and the photos came out amazing. We are so excited to design our wedding album with them. If you are looking for fun, amazing and professional photographers look no further!
Omg J.R. Owen & Co. are absolutely wonderful!!!! They did our August Wedding and were worth every penny spent and then some! Jeff did our wedding he was funny, but professional and 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!!!
we chose J.R. Owen & Co. For our wedding and it was the best decision. Once meeting them and seeing their personalities and what they have to offer we knew they were the best fit for 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.
We love our photos! Jeff and Mike were the photographers for our wedding and we had a wonderful time. Jeff also took our engagement pictures and we got so many compliments from family 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!
I cannot say enough about Jeff and Rachel! They were such a joy to work with every step of the way! We had them also do our engagement photos and they were beautiful! Their pictures 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!
I AM OBSESSED WITH OUR WEDDING PHOTOS! Honestly, I have never seen such well done wedding photos and I am so happy with our decision! The pictures captured every single emotion of 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!!
AMAZING! BEAUTIFUL! STUNNING! SPECTACULAR!
These are just some of the words I would use to describe our wedding photos! JR Owens truly are the BEST wedding photographers I have Ever 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!!
Please do yourself a favor and stop your search right now and hire J.R Owen & Co. Jeff and Rachel are AMAZING photographers who will go above and beyond any expectations you have for 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!
We used J.R. Owen & Co. for our recent wedding! Jeff was our main photographer and Mike was our second photographer. They both did a great job the day of the wedding! Jeff’s personality 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!
We hired JR Owen to do our engagement photos and We instantly fell in love with them!!! We loved their work so much, we hired them on the spot to do our wedding photos and video. They 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.
Rachel did an amazing job with our wedding photos! She had so many great ideas for us downtown as well as no problem handling our large bridal party! We loved working with J.R. Owen &Co and look forwarding to working with them again for any future photography needs.
We had the pleasure of working with Jeff and Rachel. They really are a perfect duo! Jeff has such a warm and outgoing personality and Rachel's creativity gave her the ability to find 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!
It was a no-brainer to go with Jeff & Rachel for our wedding after they photographed my sister in laws wedding (and our proposal at their wedding!!!!) We had the pleasure of getting 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!
I absolutely loved working with Rachel, Jerry, and Samantha. They are sincere people and want you to have a great experience. The photos were beautiful and reflected how much fun we 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!
Jeff and Rachel are the absolute best! We just saw our wedding pictures recently and my husband and I are beyond thrilled with how they turned out. J.R. Owen & Co went above and beyond 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!
J.R. Owen & Co. are absolute ALL STARS!
My wife and I spent many months prior to our wedding meeting with photo & video companies. Something always seemed off; whether it was the 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!
Jeff and mike were our photographers for our wedding day. They did an amazing job! They listened to all the pictures we wanted and were able to capture all the great moments. Jim was 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!
We chose J.R. Owen & Co. to do our wedding photography and videography this past fall and we couldn't have been more pleased! Rachel was wonderful to work with and made everything 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!!
Rachel and Jerry were just wonderful to work with!! They were there throughout the whole process from getting ready to the reception to make sure they captured our special day. They 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!
Loved Rachel and Jeff! Rachel was my photographer for our wedding and her team was great!
Rachel and Jeff are an amazing team! Rachel worked with my husband and me for our engagement photos, as well as our wedding day. They are two of the most genuine people you will meet 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!
The first time we met Rachel and Jeff we knew instantly we wanted them for our wedding in May! We cancelled all other appointments! They are so fun, and creative and take the stress 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.!!!!
We had a great experience with Jeff and his team! Even though it rained we still got all the pictures we wanted and the day went off without a hitch! I would recommend Jeff & Rachel to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.
We saw Rachel and Jeff work the wedding of a friend of ours and loved their pictures, so decided to approach them for our wedding. At first from their pricing online we were a little 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 :)
We had the pleasure of working with Jeff and Rachel for our engagement pictures and our wedding pictures respectively. Both of them had such an amazing eye for what would look good 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!
I cannot day enough about how amazing this photographer is! From the day we met with Jeff, we knew we had found the right photographer for our wedding. Everything was so organized 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.
We chose J.R. Owen and Co. for our Wedding Photography and Videography and it was one of the best decisions that we made in our wedding planning journey. From our first meeting with 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!
Jeff and Rachel were amazing!! Our wedding was March 19, 2017. Almost a year after our wedding, we are still in awe of our wedding pictures!! My husband and I absolutely loved Jeff 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!!!
Working with Jeff and Rachel has been amazing. They truly care about what they do and have an amazing passion. They took the time to get to know us and what we were looking for in 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 and Rachel are the best photographers! From the moment I had my consultation with Rachel I knew I wanted them to be our photographers. Let me start with the engagement photos. 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!!!
Could not have asked for a better group to make our wedding experience the best! They truly listened to what we were looking for and were a pleasure to work with. I would recommend them to anyone, and in fact already have! Rachel and Jeff are the best and are affordable! Thank you again for everything.
Rachel and Jeff are absolutely amazing! When we first got engaged we wanted a company that was personal and provided exceptional quality. Rachel and Jeff took the time to get to know 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.
Jeff and his associate Michael photographed our daughter's wedding September 9,2017. It was extraordinary! The photographs which we had within 2 weeks after the wedding are incredible. 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.
We absolutely LOVED everything about J.R. Owen & Co. Rachel and Jeff were fantastic throughout the whole process!! They helped us to create the most perfect day and they took beautiful photos that I didn't even think would be possible for our late fall wedding.
Jeff & Rachel are great! I had my engagement & Wedding photos done by them & they turned out beautiful! They are so easy to work with and make you feel so comfortable! They make a great team! I couldn’t thank them enough!
Rachel and Jeff are accommodating and flexible in that they will give you what you ask for and MORE. My husband and I did not have our reception at a wedding venue but we still wanted some pictures outside with beautiful background scenery. Rachel suggested meeting at two different locations on the day of our reception so that we could get pictures with our loved ones at our reception, but also have some pictures of my husband, daughter, and I in a more picture perfect location too. Rachel has a good eye and got beautiful, candid shots quickly so that we could get back to our party as fast as possible! She did a wonderful job editing our photos before getting them back to us as well. Rachel and Jeff are really great about responding to emails and phone calls/texts in a timely manner. They are professional but also made us feel comfortable and cared for throughout the process.
We first met with Rachel & Jeff based on recommendation from multiple family members who had used them for their weddings. Upon meeting with them for the first time, we cancelled all other appointments because we knew they would be perfect to shoot our big day! Rachel & Jeff are extremely personable and so much fun to work with. We used them for an engagement shoot as well as on the wedding day. Both sets of photos are AMAZING! We love how they all turned out. There is a perfect combination of posed and candid pics, as we had discussed when meeting prior to the wedding. On top of that, the turn around time for receiving the wedding photos was so fast! All of our pictures were given to us in under 3 weeks. They even put together a group of highlights that include the best shots. Also, we are so happy that we opted for the photobooth. It is an open booth so everyone is able to see how people are posing, which adds a lot to the fun/hilarity of it. Many of our guests have commented how much they enjoyed it. We even have 1 photobooth pic that has 16 people in it! Overall, choosing JR Owen & Co. was one of the easiest and best decisions we made in all of our planning. We highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a photography company that is friendly, professional, and knows how to capture and create beautiful moments on their wedding day.
Jeff and Rachel are amazing! We were lucky enough to have them both on our wedding day. Our wedding pictures are stunning and so "us." Rachel and Jeff do a great job of listening to you and incorporating your style into your wedding photos. Every single person we have spoke to who have seen our photos have nothing but great things to say. As we have heard from our guests, "their isn't a single bad picture in the bunch." Pricing is reasonable and Rachel is helping us put together a stunning personalized album that we can't wait to get! I would recommended Jeff and Rachel to any bride and groom!
Rachel and Jeff are AMAZING!!! They are both so personable and make you feel so comfortable during the whole engagement and wedding photo process. They are experienced and were a huge help to me as I planned that day. They both are fantastic photographers and caught some of the most special moments from that day. I absolutely LOVE my wedding pictures!!!
Absolutely love Jeff and Rachel!! They make such an amazing team. I am so happy that I had them both for my wedding photos. Rachel made everything super easy from our first meeting. She was so easy to talk with and made me feel at ease with making all of the plans for photography. Rachel is very creative, so sweet and took beautiful pictures. Jeff is so outgoing and made everyone feel so comfortable. They were so fun to work with. My husband and I just met with Rachel yesterday to look at our photos and we are so unbelievably happy with the results. I would 100% recommend them! I can't wait to see my album.
We cannot say enough great things about working with Jeff and Rachel! We were able to have them both shoot our wedding and it was an amazing experience! They were so much fun to work with and took incredible pictures! It was important for me to stay on time and be efficient and they did an excellent job of doing so. It was also a chilly and rainy day and I was concerned about our outdoor pictures, but they were able to capture some perfect outdoor ones still. They stayed flexible and came up with some great ideas. We received our photos in less than 2 weeks and we all love them! It's hard to pick our favorites to frame! They were easy to work with throughout the entire process. We booked them based on their great online reviews and I am so happy we did. I hope to get a chance to work with them again!
Jeff and Rachel photographed our wedding and we couldn't have been happier with our choice. Not only did our pictures turn out incredible, they were really fun and awesome to work with and were super responsive to emails and phone calls. We actually booked them as soon as we met them and cancelled the rest of our photographer meetings because we got such a great vibe from them and could tell that they really love the work they do. I would recommend JR Owen to anyone looking to have beautiful photos taken by really great, laid-back people.
We loved Jeff and Rachel from the first meeting we had with them, they are amazing and so easy to work with! 😀 Our families gave them so many compliments!
If I could post the pictures of my wedding day I wouldn't need to write a review. There were no bad pictures! 889 photos and all of them are usable! Rachel and Jeff work so well together and so well with us it felt like a fun, easy experience. Not stressful or forced whatsoever. They are an incredible team and I would highly recommend for any event but especially a wedding. They captured my day perfectly. As I look at the photos I relive the best day of my life over and over. They truly told a story of my dream day come true
Rachel took our wedding photos and did an amazing job! We got married on NYE, so we didn't have a lot of daylight to work with aside from the "first look" photos. Luckily, she was a pro at getting some amazing shots for us even at night which I have heard can be very tricky. She was also really creative in coming up with ideas for photos and poses, etc. All the photos turned out great! She was very sweet and great to work with. Highly recommend!
