Imagine if your wedding photographer was as excited about your wedding as you are. If she knew how to make you laugh, was able to help you relax, and you could be totally yourself with her. If she could make you and your soon-to-be husband forget the camera was even there...

After building a reputation as one of the San Francisco Bay Area's most sought-after wedding photojournalists, Jacki Vaughan brings her warm, personal approach and her passion for weddings to the Twin Cities.

Your wedding day will be made up of many amazing moments. Your wedding photos are your one chance to capture those moments forever, so they won't fade. On this day, you don't want to get posed. You don't want to get told what to do. You want to get real.

Jacki's goal is to capture those real emotions, relationships, and memories... so they can be remembered forever. So her photographs generally have a more candid, informal, feeling.

This relaxed, photojournalistic style means that she won't dictate or intrude on those special moments at your wedding. The goal is for you to enjoy your day fully - from getting ready with your best friends, to your walk down the aisle, to your first dance, to your getaway.

Along the way, Jacki tries to be as invisible as possible, freeze-framing moments you'll want to remember forever without interrupting them in the process. Even in your formal portraits, she strives for images that draw out your personality and the emotions you're feeling rather than stiffly posed "mannequin" shots.

Because there are so many amazing moments that will happen at your wedding, Jacki believes you shouldn't have to narrow it down to just a few to keep. That's why with every wedding coverage, you keep all the high-resolution files on DVD. So you have every moment captured, and you can make as many reprints as you like, whenever you like, for family, friends and yourselves.
