Seriously though… I truly live for real smiles. If you were to chat with any one of my previous couples and ask them one thing that they remember about our experience working together, I would bet my Golden Girls memorabilia collection it would be that I got them to laugh. I can't even guess at the number of times I've heard one of my couples describe themselves as “awkward”. Challenge accepted! I love awkward, I love shy, I love a chatty social butterfly or a stoic Ron Swanson. I love it all. Most of all, I love the opportunity to explore and find the thing that produces the natural smiles reflected in the images you see throughout my galleries.
I'm not sure if it's my avid knowledge of Golden Girls or The Office trivia, my ability to act like a goofy fun loving kid and twirl my couples around or just trying to dig deeper into what makes your love story unique. I have always had a knack for making people feel oddly comfortable. I truly believe this is part of the reason why my images look so natural. Whether I have known you my entire life or we just met for the first time heading into your engagement session, I can promise you that by the end of our shoot, you will feel like we’ve been friends for years. I'm gonna get ya!
I love making people smile and the connections shared between a couple. I love that I still get giddy excited for every single wedding this far into my career. When you book with me, you won’t just be a client. You will become one of my friends. I want to know everything about you. How you met, how the proposal happened, what silly pet names you call each other and I will more than likely become the person you text when you start getting stressed about your wedding. Don't worry, I got you. I will be your wedding Yoda. Sorry... Be your wedding Yoda I will. Nailed it!
Book Jill!! You will absolutely not regret it!! It is clear that Jill's photography and skills are phenomenal, but in addition Jill has an ability to put couples at ease. From the moment I met Jill, she made me feel as though we have known each other FOREVER. This feeling of familiarity was so valuable and made my husband and I feel comfortable and even relaxed in front of the camera. At times, I didn't even notice Jill, which allowed me to really be in the moment, yet she was still able to capture intimate moments beautifully. When I was planning, I was told to find a photographer I "clicked" with, which I definitely found with Jill! Even better, Jill and her crew were able to "click" with our families and our bridal party, allowing everyone to be themselves and get the most natural wonderful photos! Also Jill is the ultimate hype girl and makes me feel like a rockstar!

We love Jillian!
We are so pleased with how well Jillian captured our special day! The photos are priceless and we are thrilled with the results!
We asked for a bunch of group pictures, which could have been a disaster, but thanks to Jillian and her team, it ran smoothly and I’m so glad we have those pictures! She also agreed to more time on the spot because we were behind schedule and really wanted our first dance photographed! Very flexible, responsive, and got the final product to us very quickly! So much energy and enthusiasm for her work!

The best decision for your wedding...next to marrying your partner!
Are you considering hiring Jillian for your photo needs? THEN JUST DO IT ALREADY! Seriously, hiring Jill is THE BEST decision that you will make for your wedding, and probably your life! We first met Jill at the Gramercy Mansion for a wedding expo. She was this fun, bubble of energy that made us feel like we’ve known her for years. Her photos are absolutely gorgeous, her energy is infectious, and you will have beautiful photos that you are proud to show everyone, and you will have gained a new friend. From our first meeting, my mind was made up…We wanted Jill for our wedding! Jill has a way of making you smile, even if you feel uncomfortable, and she has a way of making you feel like a million bucks! There truly aren’t enough adjectives to describe how lovely and talented this gal is. Weddings are expensive, and you will have to make a lot of decisions involving large sums of money. Jill and her team are one decision that you will absolutely not regret or second guess. Her assistant, Rebekah is a perfect complement to Jill. They have so much fun on every shoot! Also, Jill’s second shooter, Mike, is a super cool and talented guy! Bottom line: Jill and her team are absolutely worth every cent. WE LOVE YOU JILL!!

B.O.B Photography's reply:
*crying happy tears* because I miss you & Paul SO MUCH. Being with you on your wedding day was truly a highlight of my life. The world is a better place with you in it! ❤️ It makes me so happy to know that you both felt comfortable and like yourselves on such a big day. I am beyond excited that we got to first meet at Gramercy Mansion all those days ago. Also, your sparkler exit is on of my favorites of all time. Thank you, thank you, thank you for trusting me to be your photographer. My team & I had so much fun! Love you both to flipping moon and back. XO, Jill
Thank you Jillian! We feel the same way about you! When you enter the Mansion you always greet us with such enthusiasm and cheerfulness. Your personality is so warm and happy, you put all of your couples right at ease. The art that you create with your camera is something that is truly special. Most of our photo books and images of weddings come from your work here with our couples. We love to recommend you. We are thankful for our relationship with you and look forward to welcoming you back again and again. Cheers!
As an officiant, I have literally worked with hundreds of photographers over the years. This winter, I decided I'm going to add a "Preferred Vendors" tab to my website, and it didn't take me long to decide I wanted Jillian to be apart of that list! Her friendliness, attention to detail, ability to manage a large group (in a FUN way!), and her overall eye for photography puts her in the top tier among her professional peers. If you're looking for not only dynamite photos but also someone who can help make your day the best it can be, stop your search- you just found your company- B.O.B. Photography is the way to go!
Love working with Jillian at B.O.B Photography! She's very fun, creative and a real pleasure to work with. I've seen her finished product and her pictures are stunning! So much so that my fiance and I hired her to shoot our Wedding!
