Rock Star Photographer!

Jill was one of the vendors I was most thrilled to book for our wedding. Being in the wedding industry myself, I’ve been aware of Jill and her work for many years through shared clients, and she truly couldn’t have been a more gracious addition to our vendor team.

We were able to schedule a last-minute engagement session just a few weeks before our wedding, and she was completely game to adventure with us along the seashore—mind you, at nine months pregnant! The photos she created are the kind you hope to show your grandkids someday as proof that you were in fact young once. They feel timeless, natural, and genuinely us.

Jill has such a laid-back shooting style and an incredible ability to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. She naturally chatted with us and asked questions throughout the session, putting us completely at ease while she worked. On our wedding day, I was also especially impressed by how wonderful she was with our younger guests, effortlessly coaxing them into photos and capturing candid moments without anything ever feeling forced.

While we haven’t received our full wedding gallery just yet, after seeing our engagement photos and watching Jill work throughout the day, I already know it’s going to be every bit as incredible. I truly can’t sing her praises highly enough!!

A deep well of talent, a ray of sunshine

We are so deeply grateful we hired Jill to be our wedding photographer. She truly captured the day as we lived it - with warmth, ease, and lots of smiles. Her energy was great and given that she is with you for such an intimate day, that is really important. I am blown away by how many sweet little candid photos she was able to capture and how painless she made it all feel. I am someone that usually shies away from photos and she made me feel comfortable all day - plus she captured me as I see myself. Thank you Jill, we will treasure these pictures forever.

Jill is not only incredibly talented but also a genuinely kind and compassionate person. She has a remarkable ability to make you feel at ease, ensuring that every moment in front of the camera is comfortable and natural.

What sets Jill apart is her amazing vision for photography. She has an innate talent for capturing stunning portraits and the of the day and scene. Most importantly, she understands that your wedding day is about celebrating with loved ones, not spending endless hours posing for photos. Jill managed to strike the perfect balance between getting the essential shots and allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the festivities.

Beyond talented & kind

Jill was our wedding photographer and we had the most wonderful experience with her. From coordinating our engagement shoot in the middle of winter, to our final call to go over our weekend itinerary, to the day of the wedding when she was my go to person for all moments. Jill has such a calm, kind, and giving demeanor, she is exactly who you want capturing your moments on your day. Her personality is exactly what is portrayed in her photos!

The most incredible photos!

We hired Jill as our wedding photographer this past September and could not have been more happy with the experience. While small, our wedding was logistically complicated as it was split into ceremony and celebration days and was held on an island only accessible by boat. She wasn’t dissuaded by this, and worked with us to create a package that suited our needs and was priced fairly.

On the day of the ceremony, she made us feel at ease. Being trailed by a photographer isn’t something we are used to and we had worried that it might feel uncomfortable. However, through her warmth, professionalism, and humor she made the experience feel natural and fun.

The quality of her work is also exceptional. Our friends and family were blown away by our photos. She did a phenomenal job of capturing not just the expected moments, but also many candid shots that helped capture the full atmosphere of the event. Her photo editing skills are superb, and the turnaround time was also quite impressive. We look forward to hiring her again for other events and can’t recommend her highly enough.

Dream photographer capturing authentic moments

Jill is a dream wedding photographer and gem of a human. We could not have been luckier to have come across her during our vendor search process and I can’t imagine our special day having been captured by anyone else. She seamlessly captured the most special, authentic moments from our day that we can now forever cherish; flipping through her gallery feels like reliving the day which is exactly what we were seeking from a photographer. Beyond the impeccable quality of her work Jill is professional, timely, incredibly kind, and truly a pleasure to be around. If you’re lucky enough to book Jill for your wedding (or family portraits!), know that you are in the very best of hands!

Wonderful experience with Jill and amazing wedding photos

Book Jill now! She is organized, warm, and vibed with us from our first coffee meeting to the wedding itself. We had an awesome engagement shoot and on the wedding day I was able to rest easy knowing she would capture all the beautiful details but also help manage all my family pics :) thank you so much Jill!!

Amazing Experience

We absolutely loved working with Jill for our engagement photos and wedding! Our pictures turned out so beautifully, and she is such a kind and creative professional. She loves Maine (it is a beautiful state!) and that really comes through in her work. I hope that we can hire her in the future for family portraits.

Absolutely beautiful!

Jill’s talent is truly remarkable and it’s evident in what she creates. The photos from our wedding are absolutely fantastic and we continue to treasure them and share them with our loved ones. Meeting Jill for our engagement shoot was such a fun day. She gave us direction here and there, but it felt like hanging out in the park with an old friend. She brought that same friendly vibe to our wedding day and captured some truly special moments. Not only did she take the classic portraits, but she captured the little moments that really make a wedding day unique. Jill is such a gem and we can’t recommend her enough!

Incredible photographer and incredible person

We are blown away by the work that Jill produced from our rehearsal dinner and wedding. She is one of the more talented photographers out there, but in addition to her work, she is truly the most special and kind person. Jill felt like an extension of our wedding party, and brought an aura of calm to our VERY rainy wedding day. She captured every detail flawlessly, and I love that she captured the "small moments" that many would not normally pick up on. My husband said it best- we got goosebumps after looking at the pictures from our wedding day.

Hiring Jill will be the best decision you make!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
