I found J.R. Owen at a bridal show. I was drawn to them because they are a husband and wife team and they really seem to care about the weddings that they shoot. We had several meetings before the wedding, locking down the timeline and making sure that all the important people were in the notes.

Rachel and Jeff both bring their own eye to the wedding photography. Jeff keeps things light, fun, and takes a TON of pictures. Rachel focuses on the artistic photos and sets up beautiful shots. BOTH take beautiful photos. It was a pleasure having them both photograph our wedding because we got the best of both worlds.

We got our photos extremely fast and everyone was extremely happy with the results. The other great thing is that Jeff and Rachel want you to be happy with your photos, so if there is a perfect picture but one person's eyes are closed, they are more than happy to fix it.

GREAT photographers. HIRE THEM.

J.R Owen & Co. did an amazing job capturing our big day! We absolutely love our wedding pictures. Rachel was very organized and thorough. And she made us feel good throughout the day! I loved how much time she spent with us planning out what types of pictures we wanted to capture ahead of time. Thank you for making our day so special!

I don't even know where to start- I feel like I could write 10 pages about how wonderful Rachel Owen is! Photography was the most important part of my wedding for me- memories last a lifetime, and I wanted to make sure every aspect of our day was captured beautifully. Rachel EXCEEDED our expectations, and I have, and will continue to recommend her to everyone I know, for the rest of my life. I plan on using her for all my photography needs in the future, too! It was a blessing I went to the Lemont wedding walk and met her. I still thank God I had the best photographer in the world for my wedding! I look at my pictures and still am amazed at how gorgeous they turned out...and CREATIVE! The angles, lighting, and techniques Rachel used are unique, and make her stand out among the crowd. I had over 20 photographers on my list that I inquired with...yes...over 20. (I am Greek, and had a BIG wedding!) I chose Rachel...without hesitation. My husband and I both fell in love with her personality, her infectious smile, kindness, and willingness to make the day our perfect. Anything we needed, she was there. Any questions along the way (and trust me, I think I talked to Rachel every day almost! haha ok not every day...but OFTEN), she answered with patience, and insight. She was extremely reliable for every appointment, truly professional in all aspects of running her business, and has a heart of gold. She cares about each of her clients, and builds a relationship that on your wedding day, you can just let her run with it- let her do her thing, and know that the end result will be phenomenal! I promise you will NOT be disappointed in Rachel. Hiring her is the best thing you can do for your wedding needs!!!! We will forever be grateful Rachel's talent was part of our wedding day. Jimmy and I adore you Rachel! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you again for all you did for us! You deserve all the praise in the world!
