Look no further than J Lauryn

As a wedding planner, I have worked with J Lauryn Photography for multiple events. She is always kind, patient, professional, and attentive to the details. Her images are stunning and often capture a vantage point that even I, as the planner, am not able to see first hand. J Lauryn is also very prompt with the delivery of images, which is important for couples who is biting at the bit to see their photos. Her passion for her work shines through with every image at every shoot, whether engagement or wedding day. Trust me on this...booking with J Lauryn is a decision you won't regret!

Absolutely Amazing!!

My husband and I got married in June of 2021, we booked JLauryn as our photographer. She and her team were incredible! Her energy throughout the day was so calming and our photos turned out breathtaking! She is by far one of the best photographers in the Chicagoland area. Book her ASAP!

Stunningly Beautiful Photography

Jasmine Oliver makes magic in her photos. We felt great vibes with her during our initial Zoom meeting, and that feeling grew during our engagement shoot. She is able to make you feel relaxed and captures you naturally--you never look posed or stiff. Her level of detail and the in-depth questionnaire really helped us share our vision for the day. We couldn't be happier with the shots she captured that we've seen during our preview pics, and cannot wait to see the full album to discover what else her photojournalist eye caught on camera. Hire her.

The best Chicago photographer

Jasmine was absolutely amazing! Her attention to detail, timeliness and calm demeanor helped kept us so happy all day. Even when we were running out of time to do family portraits, she remained calm and prioritized what we wanted the whole day

Phenomenal photographer

Jasmine and her team are amazing photographers and great to work with. They make you feel so comfortable while getting the perfect shot. They capture great pictures without you even knowing they were there. I highly highly recommend J Lauryn Photography.

Beautiful, Elegant, Romantic

I can't express enough how amazing Jasmine and her team are! They shot our wedding in January 2022 as well as our engagement photos, and we were absolutely blown away by both. My husband and I are both very awkward when taking pictures but you would never be able to tell that from the photos Jasmine and her team took. We couldn't even fully articulate our vision but somehow she still brought it to life perfectly. Jasmine is a true professional and her and her team went above and beyond to give us the best photos. They are a truly talented and creative group of people, and I couldn't recommend them enough.

Best Photographer

Photography is one of the most important parts of a wedding day. Although I have memories that will last forever, I am so grateful to Jasmine for capturing our day so perfectly. Jasmine is incredibly kind was not put off by our "awkwardness" when taking pictures. She gave cues that helped enhance our natural state rather than posing us. She captured our happiness throughout the day. Her attention to detail is impeccable. She managed to get little smiles exchanged between my husband and I, reactions to speeches, etc. After the wedding, Jasmine provided us with a "sneak peek" that included stunning pictures. She exceeded my expectations in every way. I can't wait to see the rest of our pictures.

Best photographer who brings colors to life and captures YOUR fairy tale in pictures!

We had the pleasure of working with Jasmine! Jasmine's portfolio really stood out compared to all other photographers. In her work, you'll immediately notice the following details: 1. She brings colors to life. 2. She is able to capture all details CLEARLY. 3. She captures this intimacy and togetherness of people in the photos. 4. The quality of pictures from one photo to the next is very, very consistent. This is why we picked her. Jasmine was able to provide all the necessary resources that we needed to address our concerns with being photographed --> my chin folds and big upper arm are not flattering but her tips are very helpful. On the day of the photoshoot, she provided us tips on how to pose or move to capture candid pictures. She is very efficient with taking photos! It was really, really fun working with Jasmine! When we got our pictures, we were literally blown away. She brought life out of the colors in the pictures. She was able to capture movement in such an elegant way. The pictures made us feel like we're living in a fairy tale. Pictures came out in the best quality possible. Honestly, I love Jasmine's work so much, I will hire her again for other photoshoots in the future. Her price is very, very fair and within our budget. If you have any concerns, you express them to Jasmine. She will listen to you and help you in whatever way that she can. Her work is really out of this world. I highly recommend Jasmine to any bride for their engagement and/or wedding day or any events! Your money will go a long, long way with Jasmine! Thank you Jasmine for the amazing experience!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
