Endorsements
"I have an opportunity to work with many photographers. Our goal is to match clients with the right vendors. Fortunately, I've been able to work with Person and Killian and numerous events. Jill and Lauren are amazing. They are extremely professional, unobtrusive and talented. They go beyond just capturing the day in pictures, but they capture the emotions and bring you back to the particular point in the day."
"Person + Killian do excellent work. They are professionals of the highest calibre and are always wonderful to work with. Their photogrpahy is excellent."
"Jill and Lauren of Person + Killian Photography are not only two of Boston's best photographers, but they are also GREAT to work with and a pleasure to have at any event. I've been privileged to work with them at several weddings, and not only are their photo shoots (and even "formals"!) fun; not only are they great team players; but the result of their seemingly effortless work is dazzling and original."
"Breathtaking. Awe inspiring. Art in its best form - these are the words that flood into my mind when I view images captured by Jill and Lauren of Person + Killian Photography. These women are incredibly talented with their craft and have gained the respect and well deserved accolades of their peers; but, more importantly they are incredibly in-tune with their individual clients and focused upon understanding the client's wants and desires for their event preservation images and because of that they have achieved the honor of being voted by their clients as the "Best of Boston". Having my work photographed by these two artists is one of my "favorite things"- I can guarantee anyone lucky enough to find them available for their wedding day will find it to be one of their favorite things too!"
"The Dynamic Duo! Fabulous talent, amazing photos, delightful to work with! They keep things on time, are flexible and not cheesy! We love to work with them!"

I can't express enough how much I love Person + Killian. If they are on your list of photographers to pick from I wouldn't search any further-- you will be making the right choice! Here are my thoughts on everything from pre-wedding, the day of, and after.

Deciding on a Photographer- When I met with Lauren I just knew we clicked. I really enjoyed her perspective and I thought her take on photography was refreshing. She took beautiful shots and it wasn't "posed" or too cliche. She and also Jill really capture people in their element. I loved that about Person + Killian - they captured raw moments that struck a chord with me. After the meeting I knew we would go with them.
On a side note: What I loved about them is you have a copy of your high res pictures after the wedding. Not many photographers offer that. It was great to be able to have all your pictures at your fingertips!

Before the Wedding- What sets Person + Killian apart is their beautiful pictures, their great attitudes, calm demeanor the day of and most importantly their connection with their clients. Lauren was so easy to communicate with. She was quick with her responses and really shared in my excitement about our wedding- which any bride knows is a nice feeling when someone is excited as you are! Before the wedding they did a great job figuring out what I wanted on my day. They sent out a form to review everything I wanted and how I imagined our day would be. We even spoke by phone the week before the wedding to sort out the details. I felt so confident in their work I knew I could let Lauren take the lead the day of the wedding.

Day Of- When Lauren arrived it was pure chaos having 9 bridesmaids and everyone getting ready. She just fit in perfectly and went about getting ready, taking shots-- she just blended! From the moment she arrived all the bridal party felt at ease with her. We all were able to be ourselves and that was reflected in our pictures.
Having a very large bridal party (9 BMs, 8 GMs) Lauren was able to take control of all of us to get great shots. She was never bossy -- she really gave great tips and kept everyone engaged and laughing. She had a calmness about her that made taking the pictures a fun time instead of a chore to be over quickly. We all loved how she could laugh with us and joke back and forth. She helped us relax and made our experience memorable.
Lauren was with us from start to finish and the entire day she was upbeat and fun to be around. She always had a smile on her face and was so approachable. Many guests commented on how wonderful she was. We couldn't have been happier.

After the wedding- Their turnaround time is AMAZING! When I was back from our honeymoon we had a CD in our mail! We fell in love with all of our pictures. Lauren was able to capture our day and was able to capture who we are as a couple. I loved Lauren's take and she provided stunning images that we will cherish forever. She captures such great moments between my husband and I and our entire family. I loved all the pictures and she has made it VERY hard to pick out what ones we like best- we loved everything!
I also have to note that they literally got around to EVERYONE at the wedding! And that's all our families can keep talking about- there is a picture of practically everyone from the wedding.
They have been amazing communicating back and forth. I am so excited to see their take on our wedding album and see them put it all together. We get to pick our pictures but then they do the rest! And from the looks of other albums it will be stunning!! I have seen first hand what stunning work they do and can't wait for our album to be complete.

Bottom Line: Lauren and Jill are warm, welcoming, professional and best of all- amazing photographers with a true gift. I wouldn't have done anything different with them. You are in amazing capable hands if you are lucky enough to work with them. I can't even say enough good things about them. We will be using them for family portraits down the line!

We worked with Jill Person for our wedding and couldn't have been happier with the experience. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera - not an easy feat! During the wedding, I completely forgot she was in the room, she was so inconspicuous. And during the reception, they used such large lenses that there were times I would look around thinking "she's missing it" because she wasn't right in my face with a camera, but there she was 20 feet away, capturing the whole night! Wonderful!

After booking our venue we asked our wedding coordinator for a photographer recommendation. Person + Killian was their first choice and it quickly became ours. We didn't even shop around after seeing their past work and meeting with Lauren. The work was magnificent and it was an absolute pleasure working with them from the beginning when taking our engagement photos to the end when we finalized our stunning wedding album! We will cherish the photos for the rest of our lives. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Working with Lauren and John, our photographers, was an absolute pleasure! We enjoyed every part of working with them! They were so professional and fun, all at the same time! Lauren had told us when we first met with her that they prided themselves on being almost invisible the day of the wedding and she was so right! They were there for every moment but they were never in the way! Our photographs are amazing and we are so happy we chose them for our special day!

Jill and Lauren are absolutely amazing!!!! They were so wonderful to work with. They provide so much guidance and support leading up to the wedding and most importantly the day of.
Our family and friends have raved about the level of service and professionalsm the day of the wedding and are blown away by the pictures that they have seen. Some of our guests have even said that they will definitely be using Person and Killian when they get married since they were so impressed.
We couldn't be happier with the pictures from our wedding day. We loved every one of them! They captured every special moment and the pictures really do tell the story of our day. One we will always treasure!
Thank you Jill and Lauren!!!

I had the pleasure of having Jill and Lauren (Person + Killian) photographing my wedding. I was not only impressed by the beauty and artistry of their work, but how friendly, professional, and responsive they were during the entire process. They put me at ease instantly! The variety in their photographs is amazing... one picture is more beautiful than the next. On the day of my wedding Jill and Lauren were so helpful and encouraging. It was a wonderful experience working with them... I would highly recommend Person + Killian Photography to anyone!

From our first meeting right down to when we received our album Person + Killian was professional and attentive. We could not have hoped for more...our photos are amazing! Everything they do is of such high quality from the engagement photos, wedding and parent albums and even the thank you notes they offer. I very highly recommend them.

Lauren & Jill were a pleasure to work with through the entire wedding process. They were unobtrusive and did an incredible job. Our photo CD was waiting for us when we got home from our honeymoon and we watched it that night. I loved the pictures and they even air brushed a few things for us when they did the album. I highly recommend them as photographers.
