I used to read wedding vendor reviews and wonder how someone could give 5 stars. Yet here I am, doing the same thing without hesitation. Photography and DJ were my top two must-be-perfect parts of our October 9, 2017, wedding at The Waterfall. I initially went with a lower priced all-in-one company but after our engagement shoot, I was left wanting more and so began my search all over. Somehow, I think by divine intervention, I stumbled upon Kevin's page. The first thing that caught my eye was his tip that photographers should show more than 10 pictures of a wedding in their portfolio. Kevin's portfolio easily had over 50 images per wedding, giving me a better sense of his style. Photojournalistic style is my preference and I LOVE macro shots. Kevin has both these qualities. I also loved that Kevin believes in staying until the very end of a reception because that's when the good stuff happens. No other photographer said that! Most said they'd leave right after they key stuff ended. Boo! Kevin was responsive, professional, kind, and very accommodating. He and his second photographer (his beautiful and equally kind and talented wife, Alyssa) arrived on time to capture the pre-wedding fun and moved seamlessly between the various locations, taking little time to set up. They're an easy-going pair who clearly love what they do! If you're looking for a photojournalistic style, you won't regret choosing Kevin. Honestly, even if you're into portraiture, I'd recommend Kevin. He is moderately priced and I believe his talents are worth every cent. Kevin delivered our pictures within a couple months as promised both online and on a flash drive. They stayed until the lights came on and we made it worth their while! We loved how they captured so many pictures of our guests, the cake, and the venue. We relived special moments and got to see some new one we missed. We sent our guests pictures Kevin captured of them and everyone raved about them.

From the moment we got engaged, I knew Jillian would be our photographer. Having known her for over 10 years and admired her work since I was 15, there was never a question in my mind. She was our first vendor booking, secured almost two years in advance – even before we had our venue! Our journey with Jillian began with our engagement shoot in January 2024. Despite my initial panic about outdoor photos during one of Philadelphia's coldest, windiest days, she masterfully suggested shooting inside the Philadelphia Art Museum. The results were absolutely spectacular – we've had countless people reach out across social media asking for our photographer's information because the photos were that extraordinary. What sets Jillian apart isn't just her technical expertise – it's her ability to make anyone feel like a natural in front of the camera. She's the ultimate hype woman, making you feel gorgeous while keeping everything genuine. Her vision is impeccable, and every photo tells a story. Our February 16th wedding at Union Trust in Philadelphia exceeded all expectations, even from just the sneak peeks. From detailed flatlays to intimate bridal portraits, and from ceremony captures to reception celebrations, every shot was pure artistry. Her outside-the-box thinking and ability to adapt on the fly while staying true to her vision is remarkable. Her team deserves equal praise. Gilbert, her second shooter, brilliantly managed the groomsmen's photos, capturing their natural energy and spirit. And Rebekah? She's nothing short of miraculous. When our dress steaming attempts failed miserably the night before (my bridesmaids and I gave up at 2 AM with more wrinkles than we started with), she worked magic with just a few passes of the steamer. On our rainy wedding day, when my dress got stained and wet from outdoor photos, she spent nearly an hour restoring it to perfection – even blow-drying the inside so I wouldn't be uncomfortable walking down the aisle. The BOB Photography team didn't just deliver stunning photos – they became part of our celebration. By the end of our 14-hour day, even my hard to crack grandfather was joking about Jillian being part of the family. Guests kept commenting on how she seemed to be everywhere at once, never missing a moment. Her combination of wit, professionalism, and artistic vision made the entire experience magical. For anyone considering wedding photography, remember that you need someone who can both capture your best angles and make the entire experience enjoyable – Jillian excels at both. Even with just the sneak peeks (we might need to be brought back to life when we see the full gallery!), we're completely blown away. We're already looking forward to having Jillian document more chapters of our lives. The BOB Photography team isn't just exceptional – they're in a league of their own. 🤍
