Very happy bride

I don’t even know what to say. Not only is Janelle amazing at what she does but she’s also an incredible person. She is so fun and lighthearted and made everyone feel comfortable. I am very picky with photography and wanted someone who wasn’t going to just take standing portraits of us the whole day. She is so talented and captures some amazing moments. She was extremely professional and responsive and I got all my photos in less than a month! I also had specific requests and she made sure I got everything I wanted. I would highly suggest booking 2 photographers because this really elevates the whole experience. 10/10 would recommend from a very happy bride!

Amazing Photographer-Better Person

Janelle is the absolute best! When we first met her, she made us feel like we have been friends forever. Her compassion and dedication to her craft is unmatched. My wife and I are so happy we chose Janelle to be our photographer. She made our guests feel welcomed and comfortable throughout the entire event. We got our finished photos within days after our wedding and they're amazing! If you're looking for a photographer for your wedding, special event, etc, Janelle should be number one on your list! She made our day so fun and special. We cant thank her enough!

The Best Skilled and Creative Photos from the Best Person!

Janelle is amazing! From the first phone call she made us feel like we were her only client and would do anything to make our day perfect. She is so enthusiastic and so kind and meshed with who we are so well. I work in video so I wanted to find someone who would live up to my standards and I was beyond impressed by her skill and creativity. She was very patient and all for pushing boundaries for different shots I wanted. After our engagement shoot she said she felt me and my now husband shared one soul. That feeling was absolutely captures in the photos she took of us. She took the time to understand who we are so well that by the time our wedding came we felt she was like family. Getting married during COVID-19 our plans were flipped upside down and constantly changing, and Janelle was so understanding and accommodating. She was so fun to have around on our wedding day and even helped hide me from my guests as we were walking back from the first look. I couldn’t have imagined our day without her!

Fantastic!

Janelle is fantastic to work with. My wife and I hired Janelle to photograph our small civil ceremony at Hamilton College, a location that she is extremely familiar with. She was the perfect combination of laid back and fun while also giving clear and direct instructions. Janelle helped reduce the stress of the day and we are very happy with the photos she took for us. Her rate is very reasonable and was worth every penny. I would highly recommend working with her!

Truly One Of A Kind!

Janelle is MORE than just a photographer, she is an ally and a calming force, complete sunshine when you are stressed to the max! She helped with any questions during my wedding planning days, even those not related to photography! She was incredible at capturing moments that I missed at the wedding and couldn’t have asked for a better photographer- she is a real gem in this community for not only her talents but her cheerful personality! 💜💜💜

Janelle is the best!

Janelle has been nothing but AMAZING! She was the photographer for my best friends wedding, and I knew then that if I were to ever get married, I was hiring Janelle! She is so sweet and welcoming. Our engagement shoot was perfect, she made us feel so comfortable and we had so much fun! She was incredible at our wedding, and anything I needed she had! Even Some mints before I walked down the aisle to kiss my husband! All of our pictures have turned out amazing and everyone continues to compliment me on our great all my pictures are. She pays very close attention to detail and goes out of her way to make you feel special! I could not recommend her more! Now I need more life events so I can hire her again!!!!

Best Photographer Ever!

Janelle did an amazing job on our wedding and engagement photos!! She has been one of our favorite vendors. She made my new husband and I comfortable throughout the entire process!! She answered all of our questions and was super kind and friendly. Throughout the planning process, I reached out to her a few times and she was always very helpful with great suggestions. She traveled to do our engagement pictures where we wanted them. She even took pictures in the rain with a smile and with enthusiasm! We received a beautiful flash drive with all the pictures for our use. We were allowed to post them and order prints. For our wedding photos, she worked with my crazy list of pictures and ensured we had each picture, along with her assistant Elisha. She kept the wedding day running smoothly and according to our timeline, which was nothing short of amazing. She posted a teaser photo the next day and had a beautiful slideshow and blog post for us within a week!! Her work is truly incredible and beautiful. I love when she took photos of us and said, "Yes!" It made us feel so relaxed and thus helped the photos come out even better! She really knew what she was doing in terms of lighting and setting up a great shot. Guests of the wedding and our bridal party were all commenting on what a wonderful photographer she is. We couldn't be any more happy with her work. She is a true artist.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
