We had Lauren as our photographer for our wedding 6/18/16 and we couldn't have asked for anyone better! From the very start, Lauren has been so easy to work with and really got what was important to us. For the wedding day, she was so punctual, professional and fun! She made us feel comfortable and beautiful on our big day. The pictures came to us so soon after the wedding and we, and everyone we know, are IN LOVE with the photos. She seriously captured every beautiful moment and we were so lucky to have her.

Lauren made our wedding picture perfect! She was absolutely lovely - and answered any and all of my questions. Both my husband and I have huge families, and she handled organizing the dozens of different family combinations flawlessly. Our wedding albums are everything we could have wanted and more. I hope to find a reason to use her again!
I highly, highly recommend Person + Killian Photography.

Lauren - simply put - is the best! A dream to work with!

I met Lauren at my best friend's wedding and immediately knew that if she happened to be available, we would be SO lucky to have her photograph our wedding the following summer (the fact that we grew up in the same town was a bonus!). She was and I cannot say enough about our experience working with her. Lauren is amazing. Not only does she take the most beautiful photographs, but she provides every couple she works with laughter, support, and direction during their wedding day (and beyond). Besides your future husband/wife, your photographer is someone who is there every step of the day - and Lauren has the ability to capture the most perfect moments to make your day unforgettable. She is so fun, quickly turned around our photos, and just made us feel so comfortable the entire time. I couldn't say enough about her and her team and wholeheartedly recommend her! I only wish I had another big event in the future that I could work with her on!

Working with Person + Killian for our wedding was a delightful experience. At our initial meeting with Lauren, we were so impressed with her professionalism and warmth. We connected with Lauren right away and loved her enthusiasm for her work.

Our outdoor engagement photos were gorgeous because Lauren captured the effects of sunlight so well. My husband and I also liked working with Lauren in advance of the big day.

On our wedding day, Lauren and her assistant worked expertly directing a large wedding party and making sure all key family photos were taken. Even more special, they captured many intimate moments between the bridal party.

Importantly, Person+ Killian's style in not intrusive. You and your guests will not even realize the camera is in the room. But, when you can re-live every hour of your wedding day and night through the pictures, you'll know you picked the right photographer. We absolutely love the photos. Lauren's expertise is amazing!!

It's so valuable to have a vendor like Person + Killian as part of your wedding planning experience. During the inevitable hectic weeks before a wedding, working with experienced, detail oriented professionals like Person+ Killian keeps anxiety at bay. We hope to work with Person+ Killian again in the future!

I would highly recommend Person + Killian to any bride-to-be. We were lucky enough to have Lauren and an assistant photographer document our special day and I am beyond satisfied with the results! I think having a high-caliber photographer for your wedding is one of, if not the most important part of the event. That being said, go with Person + Killian if you want to work with industry professionals who you will not have to worry about. I haven't come across any other photographers whose work matches that of P+K. Lauren is very personable and easy to work with.

My husband and I are obsessed with our wedding pictures and we have received countless compliments on the photographs. I am extremely thankful that we will have such beautiful photos to remind us of that special day!

I was lucky enough to have both Lauren and Jill at my wedding and they did an amazing job! I cannot say enough about our experience with them and everyone is obsessed with our pictures. The day of the wedding, Jill and Lauren kept me at ease and both were so discreet we barely knew they were there. They were able to capture every important moment as well as plenty of amazing candids! Both are extremely talented and a lot of fun to work with! Lauren sent us our CDs of our pictures the week after our wedding. Needless to say, the photographs came out wonderful and exceeded our expectations. I cannot wait to get my wedding album and I would most definitely recommend Person and Killian to every bride I know!

Top quality photographer who understands the dynamics of the day and works with the couple to get the great shots while blending into the background. Calm, cool, and collected at all times, easy going, and extremely flexible. Helped keep things on track, keep the couple relaxed, accepted changes in plans without hesitation and best of all, allowed the couple to focus on other things - never once did we have to worry about the quality of the pictures or final outcome. Best photographer I have worked with hands down. Would recommend to anyone! Worth every penny!

We initially met with Jill Person because we has three couples tell us that while they didn't select Person & Killian, they wished they had. Lucky for us, when we met with Jill, at the end of 2015, she had one wedding date open in 2017 and it happened to be our date. This fact, combined with Jill's infectious/calming personality and her incredible portfolio made the selection a no-brainer for us. We were thrilled working with Jill. While she'll happily lead the artistic charge, she'll also take direction from the couple and help them bring a specific vision to life. Jill is creative and so easy to work with - when you hear about her roster of clients and see her work you'll also realize that she could easily be rude and standoffish and still be successful. However, the success has definitely not gone to Jill head. She clearly loves what she does and each wedding is so special to her.

Some of my favorite moments from working with Jill include:

1) When she got my mother to smile/laugh in the cold November outdoor shots - a near impossible task
2) Completely supporting me when I told her I needed to drink some vodka before the engagement photo shoot - whatever it takes!
3) Working with her to get the first look shot just right with our balloons. Jill got that I wasn't a flower person and totally helped me navigate it.

From our first meeting right down to when we received our album Person + Killian was professional and attentive. We could not have hoped for more...our photos are amazing! Everything they do is of such high quality from the engagement photos, wedding and parent albums and even the thank you notes they offer. I very highly recommend them.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
