We booked Jaclyn for our VT wedding in September 2019 (her last one before moving to IN) and she was everything I had hoped for in a photographer! I did a ton of research of photographers in the area and was booking two years in advance of our date and wanted to find someone who could photograph fireworks specifically. After seeing Jaclyn's portfolio and speaking with her, I knew she had to be our photographer! Jaclyn was always so thoughtful and responsiveness to the vision we had. She even agreed to help us get cigar smoke shots on the day with only a few days notice. Her vibrant, colorful, and bright photography style was exactly what I was looking for and after seeing our wedding album, she NAILED IT! Thank you Jaclyn for capturing our special day that we will look back on for years and years!

Jaclyn was great! We had a giant wedding party (11 on each side!) and did a first look along the waterfront in Burlington. She helped us plan out the entire day to make sure that we got the shots we wanted and was super flexible. It was hectic having such a large wedding party and large families on both sides but Jaclyn was super organized and efficient. We got all the perfect shots we wanted (and more!) and she accommodated any requests we made on the day. Plus the accents of the day (the arbor, flowers, etc) were all captured perfectly and artistically. She's extremely experienced and skilled. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a stellar photographer!

I found Jaclyn's work and really liked her style. We ended up having her do our engagement photos as well as our wedding photos. She was awesome to work with. Her communication was perfect, and she was very open to our ideas and thoughts about the photos and the process.

On the day of the wedding with all of the hectic craziness going on, Jaclyn was there, but she didn't add an ounce of stress to the day!!! Of course we had all of the posed photos with family, but the rest of the photos were candid. She was never in the way, and we honestly barely noticed her throughout the reception or ceremony. She managed to get absolutely perfect, beautiful photos of our day. I couldn't be happier with our choice to hire her!!

Not only has Jaclyn created beautiful memories for us to have of our wedding day, but she put everyone at ease and was able to capture the most relaxed and genuine moments. We are so thankful for all of the wonderful work that Jaclyn has done!

Jaclyn Schmitz was wondering from beginning to end. She is so sweet to talk with and very on top of communication. She responds to emails and questions very quickly and is very patient with indecisive couples. Her shooting style is to be in the background so that things can flow naturally and she can get candid shots. I loved how flexible and patient she was while I was emailing her trying to plan my first look location-either Whiteface or boat pictures. She was very helpful in making a schedule(that we followed and helped immensely for organization). I told her my preference was to try to capture the natural beauty of Lake Placid and she quietly captured this is our wedding pictures. She really listens to the couples, makes them feel at ease on the day of the wedding, and also got us some sneak preview photos on her facebook right away so we could enjoy the pictures early. In addition to her wonderful personality and kind demeanor and responsiveness, she is a talented photographer. We are very happy with her wedding photography. The pictures were classic, colorful, natural and beautifully shot. We are very happy Jaclyn was our wedding photographer. She was such an easy vendor to work and everything went perfectly. We are so happy and recommend her for anyone!

We loved having Jaclyn as our wedding photographer in September. She was a kind, thoughtful, experienced and a joy to work with. Our pictures came out beautiful! We love them and couldn't be happier. She was able to manage our large family photos with ease and direction. She allowed for us to have fun with our bride/groom photos and it was such a joy to relax and have fun on such a busy day. Our photos came in a timely manner and the online gallery was easy to use. We were able to order prints for gifts that came out great. She worked with us to design our album and we look forward to seeing it soon. She took our comments and made our album truly what we wanted to remember our day by. We recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. She made our day special and so easy to enjoy.

Having an excellent photographer on our wedding day was a top priority for my husband and me. We were thrilled to have Jaclyn photograph our wedding at the Mountain Top Inn (Chittenden, VT.) We went with Jaclyn’s Complete Collection (basic collection + a second photographer). Our photography experience on our wedding day was stellar. We didn’t worry about a thing. Jaclyn captured both our classic formal photos and candid. It felt so natural. She gave us direction when we needed it and prompted some fun photos as we went! Before the wedding, we went over what photos we wanted and she made sure she got every single one. If you don’t know what you want, she has suggestions. What more could you ask for?! Looking at our photos, we can relive our day all over again and the quality is fantastic.

Jaclyn is everything we were hoping for in a photographer: organized (quickly responded to all communications), attentive, gave great directions, made us laugh (which is important because my husband hates taking photos), and made us relax (she is a wonderful and down-to-earth). Nothing is better than feeling comfortable and natural with your photographer. Great vendors on your wedding day are essential. I highly recommend Jaclyn Schmitz photography.

How we chose Jaclyn: the hunt for your vendor can be hard. We first determined what we wanted which was a photographer that took both colorful candid and classic photos. We wanted someone who would capture the day so that we could relive it later through the photos (mission accomplished!) We searched The knot, Weddingwire, magazines, and Facebook (we looked at our venue’s page and found photographers that had photographed other weddings there). Then we spoke with several photographers, compared personalities, compared their responsiveness, compared prices, and compared quality of photos. I tend to go with my intuition while my husband makes logical decisions (engineer brain). We both chose Jaclyn and we are so glad we did!

Jaclyn photographed us getting married on a mountain at Stratton, VT in August 2017. She was an absolute pleasure to work with! Every step of the process was so easy and she made me feel very comfortable. We wanted our photos to be fun and light, and Jaclyn's photos captured every moment perfectly! I would highly recommend her to any couple looking for beautiful, natural and fun photos. Her photos were unique and were EXACTLY what we imagined and more!

Jaclyn was absolutely amazing! She met with my fiance and I before our wedding to get to know us, know what we like and don't like, and talk about the big day. Then we ended up having her do our engagement photos and they turned out wonderful! She was so easy to work with and made 2 people that are uncomfortable taking pictures extremely comfortable and the whole process was a breeze. My fiance and I were planning the wedding ourselves and were't familiar with the vendors in the area, so I reached out to her to get ideas for different vendors she's done weddings with in the past and she was so nice and helpful. On the wedding day itself she made sure to get all the shots we had requested and then, of course, worked her magic in thinking of amazing shots for the two of us. We couldn't have been happier with how the pictures turned out and have gotten so many compliments from friends and family on them. In addition to how the pictures were, Jaclyn was absolutely wonderful to work with and I would highly recommend her!

We chose Jaclyn to photograph our July 2017 wedding in Cambridge, VT and we could not be happier with our choice. On the wedding day we literally said to her, 'tell us exactly what to do" because we have never been professionally photographed together. Jaclyn more than rose to the occasion and we ended up with absolutely gorgeous photos that we will cherish forever. Even with our rainy and cloudy ceremony, she captured beautiful moments with precision. Jaclyn was professional, kind, and helpful throughout our entire wedding experience. We recommend her to anyone looking for beautiful, quality photographs with a stress-free experience.
