    Easiest decision!

    Heather photographed my brother's wedding in 2016 and I knew after seeing his photos that I would want her to do my future wedding as well. Fast forward 7 years, I didn't even bother looking for other photographers because I knew nothing would compare to her work. We truly could not be happier with the way our wedding photos turned out and cannot thank her enough for making our day fun, easy and stress-free!

    Go with Heather!

    My husband and I had a very small wedding, and as a result, we were really keen on finding someone to share the day with those who could not be there with us. Heather's exceptional work made that possible. She captured all the real feelings of the day - the silly, the serious and everything in between. We quickly received a handful of the best shots from her, and not only are there great candid photos, but also high-quality family portraits. To say she is gifted is an understatement. I mean, she somehow even got our 16 month old niece to look at her and smile for so many photos! She was professional yet laid back, and dealt with what could have been a stressful day (what with the tornado warning and all) and reminded me to laugh and enjoy the day. She knew what I was looking for and was more than willing to make it happen (down to tracking the weather for the perfect window of time to get the right shots). If you are looking for a photographer, go with Heather.

    Absolute wizard with a camera!

    Heather. There is simply no other option if you or someone you know is looking for a photographer. This girl goes above and beyond to shoot every moment of your day from start to finish. We hired Heather after she shot my brother's wedding back in 2015- I knew then and there that I wanted Heather to shoot my wedding one day. Our package included an engagement session which she absolutely nailed. She listens and makes suggestions so she can captivate the very best you. Her charismatic personality and witty humor is just a bonus! She laughs with you and makes the most out of her time with you. We had originally planned a large, out of state wedding in which she was going to travel to but we ended up having to cancel that (Hi, 2020) and she was there every step of the way after planning a small ceremony in my parent's backyard. From the second Heather showed up, she showed how truly knowledgeable and passionate she is about photography and her photos prove that! What we love most about Heather's work is how she photographs the small, candid moments; she captures conversations, affection, love and tears- you can literally relive your wedding day by looking back at photos. She clearly pours her heart into capturing the best day of your life so, seriously, hire her. It will be the best decision you make!

    Magic + Skills

    My partner and I are beyond impressed by Heather! Not only does she capture all of these hidden gems as a photographer, but she is also someone you want to have by your side on your wedding day... so thoughtful, smart, and fun all at the same time. We would recommend Heather in a heartbeat.

    A picture's worth a thousand words...

    But Heather's are worth more like 1,500. Seriously, these pics are the bomb. She made us look super attractive and healthy. I highly highly recommend that you hire her as your wedding photographer. She's a steal at twice the price!

    Breathtaking photos

    At first, I struggled to find a photographer, worrying about how expensive it was while also obsessing over how desperately I wanted to have great photos. Luckily, a friend of mine heard me agonizing and advised me that this was something worth splurging on if it mattered so much to me. And I'm so glad she did! We are thrilled with how Heather's photos turned out and so grateful for her ability to nimbly and gracefully shift from moment to moment at our wedding and create such beautiful images that really captured the spirit of the day. In addition to being an amazing photographer, Heather kept us calm, helped troubleshoot random issues that popped up and made us laugh. The investment was 100% worth it. We will treasure Heather's photos forever.

    Exactly what we were looking for!

    Heather is an incredible photographer! We recently got married in Detroit at Old St. Mary's Church and had our reception at the Detroit Athletic Club. She made our wedding day come to life in her photos. She has a way of capturing moments that I've never seen in any other photographer. She captured the spirit of our wedding and the emotions behind the photos. On top of that, her photos are visually stunning. They are crisp and clean and exceeded my expectations.

    Not only did she provided timeless black-and-white photos, but also captured unique photos with the city of Detroit as the backdrop. She found unique wall murals to take pictures in front of including the new Stevie Wonder mural.

    She was very professional, prompt, and knew how to stage every photo. Her online platform is very easy to use and she is very easy to work with. I would absolutely recommend using Heather to everyone I know.

    We couldn’t have imagined our wedding without Heather!

    The moment we laid eyes on Heather’s work, we knew she was the one. The moment we got off our first Facetime call, my now hubby and I were so ecstatic to work with her because she was incredible--she upbeat, positive, and professional--and carried that energy straight into our wedding day. We had a July 4th destination wedding in Petoskey, Michigan at the Bay Harbor Village Hotel. Being from Los Angeles, it’s not easy planning day-of wedding logistics thousands of miles away, but Heather made it so much easier. She even took it upon herself to location scout the day before so we knew where to take photos outside outside of the hotel grounds. Gosh, I can’t even explain how amazing Heather was day-of the wedding. I remember on our initial phone call Heather explained that she is just like one of the bridesmaids on wedding day. I can tell you that is true. She really went above and beyond from fixing bowties and boutonnieres, making sure that our bouquets didn’t have any weird stragglers, to making sure that everything looked right and proper, and the event day flowed logistically!
    Lastly, I wanted to talk about our photos. We are in AWE. Guests can’t stop talking about the photos. They are so stunning, exquisite, and beautiful. She was able to capture all the moments on our special day. She even made us a slideshow and we received all the photos one month after the wedding. So quick!

    Heather, you are the best and we seriously cannot thank you enough! We were thrilled to you on our wedding day and couldn’t have imagined it without you! - Jenny & Peter

    Five-star wedding photography

    We hired Heather Jowett to photograph our wedding in Chicago in May 2019. Our package included an engagement photo shoot, which we did in Michigan in October 2018. Her photos are nothing short of amazing, and we love looking at them again and again. They are more than photos; they are works of art—beautifully composed settings of people and places, with a master’s eye for light and shadow, that convey our joy and that of the people around us as we begin our married life. Beyond having incredible artistic gifts, Heather is a consummate professional and a great person. She really took the time to understand what we wanted in our wedding photos and was very responsive to emails. We were completely at ease working with her; plus, she was very fun to be around. Before the wedding day, she learned the names of our family members and wedding party, which made the day feel more relaxed. She took it upon herself to make small adjustments to the décor in order to find the best composition; she even helped me pin a fresh boutonniere on my lapel after the first emerged somewhat bedraggled from the receiving line. And, we had the photo gallery less than a month after the wedding—she even made us a slideshow of her personal favorites. We can’t recommend Heather highly enough for couples who want the best in wedding photography. If you’re considering hiring her, do it—you’ll be glad you did!

    Heather is an absolutely JOY!

    Heather was an absolute JOY to work with. We can't thank you enough for capturing the most beautiful (& bad ass) photos. From our engagement session of our little family while giving our pup Norm all the love to our wedding day where you wore every hat.. thank you!! We were beyond thrilled and OVERLY emotional to relive the moments of that day together. It's so true what they say, your day will flash before your eyes. These pictures allowed us to relive the wedding and all the parts we may have missed while we were caught up with family, friends and all the happy emotions. We successfully got every photo on our list and Heather completely ensured that we & family members stayed focused and away from distractions to make sure we got all the shots we wanted (& more!). The emotions and connections with our family and friends were perfect captured and the moments between my hubby and I were SO us and SO magical. It was all in the moments which we wouldn't change for the world. Oh, did I mention that she did all of our wedding photos with a broken arm? Your work is incredible, you took our ideas and exceeded our expectations & you made it fun. You were the easiest pick! I can't wait for our paths to cross again. xoxo Kristen & Tim.

    She’s Amazing!

    We absolutely LOVED working with Heather! I’m uncomfortable in front of a camera and my husband hates getting his photo taken but with Heather it was truly effortless! She made us feel so comfortable being in front of the camera and is so easy to work with! She’s hilarious so you’ll have a great time spending the day with her! She was also super helpful throughout the day with other various wedding details like helping tie my grandmothers ring to my bouquet! And of course, the photos came out beautifully! She’s super talented at what she does! Trust her!

    Choosing Heather as our photographer was one of the best wedding decisions we made!! Not only did our photos turn out amazing, she truly went above and beyond her responsibilities as a photographer. Our wedding was outdoors and it was pouring rain during our first look, bridal party and family photos, despite this, she still found ways to get breathtaking photos on the fly. She helped deal with family, guests and other vendors. Because she was there we were able to not worry about a thing, be in the moment and enjoy our day. She was great with the kids and we were amazed by her ability to call everyone by name during family formals. My husband and I joked that we would not have known how to get married without Heather there, but that was the truth! She walked us through every step of the way and we could not be more grateful that she was there!

    As far as the photos go they were amazing, she captured the way that we felt on our wedding day and that was so important to us. Through her photos you could see the love and joy that we all experienced and now we can look back and relive those memories forever.

    My advice to anyone planning a wedding is to spend the money on a good photographer because you will cherish the photos for a lifetime! If you are looking for a wedding photographer hire her, you will not regret it!

    Thank you Heather!!

    To say that Heather was tremendous is an understatement. Hiring her for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She was personable, funny, professional and dedicated to say the least; I'll never forget when she took her shoes off and got into a pond in order to get the angle she wanted for a photograph on our wedding day. Our photographs are absolutely stunning and we haven't stopped receiving compliments how beautifully they capture such a range of real emotions and moments that occurred throughout the entire day and night. Anyone that I know who recently gets engaged, I tell them that they absolutely need to hire her!

    Heather was absolutely AMAZING and seriously the best decision we made for our wedding day. Heather is hilarious, professional and so incredibly talented it's ridiculous. She kept everything running smoothly, answered all of our questions, and is just an overall awesome human being. We LOVE our pictures and I can't tell you how many compliments we have received on them. One of the most consistent things we've heard from friends and family who looks at our photos is "These are gorgeous and your photographer really captured the FEELING of the day--it's like I'm there." That is exactly what we wanted and more. Do yourself a favor and hire Heather <3

    Heather was absolutely AMAZING to work with on our wedding day. She is incredibly talented at what she does and is such a blast to hang out with. From helping me bustle my dress, to singing 90s songs with us on the dance floor, she fit in flawlessly with our wedding party. Heather helped us make the most of our rainy day and our photos turned out more beautiful than we could've ever imagined. Not to mention that we received our entire wedding gallery less than a month after our big day. Heather has the creativity and passion it takes to capture your day perfectly. The mix of posed and candid shots that we have from her give us such a well-rounded and diverse gallery that we will treasure forever. Thank you, Heather!!

    I have followed Heather's photography for many years, so I knew I wanted her to capture my wedding as soon as I got engaged. My husband and I don't consider ourselves the most photogenic people in the world, and taking our engagement photos (not by Heather) was pretty uncomfortable. Heather helped us feel completely comfortable and relaxed during the entire day. She joked with us and kept the mood light while giving mild coaching during photos. She also helped me put my veil on when my hairdresser left early, helped get my dress on when the zipper got stuck, and helped my husband get his boutonniere on straight.

    Our wedding photos absolutely surpassed my expectations, Heather managed to perfectly capture the vibe of our day. I can't recommend her enough.

    My husband are in agreement that aside from marrying each other, hiring Heather to be our photographer was the best decision we could have made. She was amazing during our engagement shoot -- she made us and our extremely shy dog feel so comfortable and have a great time. She was incredible during our wedding and I can say with 100% certainty that the day wouldn't have been the same without her. As someone who isn't a fan of getting their photo taken and does have a lot of anxiety, I can say that Heather made me feel totally at ease and I was able to just enjoy the day. Not only is she extremely talented, she is also hilarious and fun, and made what could have been an incredibly stressful/anxiety-filled time into an extremely fun experience. For the love of dogs, just hire her already! You won't regret it!

    Heather was amazing to work with! We seriously couldn't have asked for a better experience. She was really efficient on the day of our wedding, and she did a great job adapting along with us as the craziness of a wedding day took over. We absolutely clicked with her, so it was comforting to know we could trust her. At the end of it all, the photos are incredible! Absolutely worth it!!!

    Every aspect of Heather's work blew us away. Her photos were artistic and creative and captured the feeling of our wedding perfectly. Heather's professionalism matched her artistic vision. Throughout the planning process, she explained everything clearly and answered questions I never thought to ask. On our wedding day, I knew what to expect and I trusted her completely. Whenever we had a question about how something should be done, we deferred to Heather over our day-of coordinator (but maybe don't do this. Heather has enough roles that day). I have recommended Heather to my friends and I definitely recommend her to anyone reading this.

    Heather was everything we had hoped for and then some. She captured exactly what we had discussed, was professional, and so enjoyable to be around all day. I trusted her to capture the joy and magic of our wedding day and she delivered in a big way. We have received so many compliments on our pictures and I would highly recommend her to anyone! The value we feel like we received in not only her artistic work but knowledge of weddings to help execute things so smoothly was absolutely priceless. Thanks Heather!!

    Heather was spectacular to work with. My wife had clear mental images of what she hoped for in terms of engagement and wedding photos, and with some consultation Heather completely nailed it! She was fun to work with throughout, fun to have at the wedding and seemingly everywhere and nowhere at once. We shopped around a bit, and determined that Heather was a great value and that she had a style that was unique to her, and malleable to the couples she worked with. Our pictures are amazing, and we will absolutely look for Heather when other photo ops present themselves

    Someone said it before, and I will say it again. She is worth her weight in gold. Photography was a high priority for me.. my husband on the other hand just wanted "a photographer". After receiving our final prints, she blew us away. He even tears up every time he sees them and said she was totally worth every penny! She captured exactly the vision we were going for. The images that we will have forever as the years add up. She has an artistic eye, and paired with her experience she truly knew what was best - from where the first dance should be to how to position the cake. Trust her. Go for her, and I promise you will not be disappointed. She is a bit more expensive than others, but if photography is important to you -- Don't skimp on one of the most important days of your life. We had no idea we smiled as much as we did, but she caught em all.
