    Best photographer ever!

    Jackie photographed our engagement in Glacier National Park and it was without a doubt that we had to have her photograph our wedding. She didn’t hesitate to say yes to traveling across the country for our wedding and we are so happy she did. Our photos are not only amazing, but our friends and family felt so comfortable with Jackie and everyone loved her. She was there to help with my dress whenever I needed it, planned our timeline, remembered everyone in our families and bridal party, and wrangled everyone together for quick, painless pictures that are even more beautiful than we could have imagined. We are so thankful to have had Jackie there to photograph two of the most special moments in our lives!

    Best choice possible!

    I'm not a planner. I hate decisions. Jackie made the whole wedding process sooo much easier for me. I knew just through email interactions that she had my back. She picked a ceremony spot, she brought flowers and an officiant (they work great together), and she helped direct the flow throughout the day. Any time someone asked me about my plans for the big day I pretty much shrugged my shoulders and said, "I'm not sure, whatever my photographer thinks is best." She never made me feel like I couldn't put that pressure on her and my day was as stress free as it could have been thanks to her. She is so much more than a photographer, but holy crap, this girl knows how to take amazing pictures. The photo shoot we did as a couple after dinner was SO MUCH FUN! We were laughing the whole time while running and dancing and snuggling. She has a way of getting you to do things that photograph well without knowing it while you're doing it. It's like a game. That way everything looked natural. I just received our sneak peak pictures only 4 days after our wedding and I'm completely blown away. She also sent us a slideshow of the sneak peak photos which I was able to share on social media. There were so many people saying that they were in tears from watching. Jackie captured all the emotion of the day while also making us look really good. I can't wait to see the rest of the photos!! Jackie was the best decision ever.

    Hiring Jackie was THE BEST wedding planning decision we made

    Before our wedding my husband and I sat down and said that it was really important to us that we hire vendors who we felt genuinely cared about our day. We chose Jackie as our photographer and even after just emailing her we could tell she was exactly what we wanted in a photographer. She was so kind, patient (I sent a ton of questions and pictures haha), and so easy to work with. She didn't act like we were just another job for her, she really acted like she cared. We didn't meet her until the day before the wedding. We asked her to come to our rehearsal dinner and she spent the time helping us with our rehearsal and getting to know our friends and family. Even before the wedding people were saying how helpful and great she was. To say she was amazing on our wedding day would honestly be an understatement. My husband does not like taking pictures and he can't stop talking about how much fun she made the whole process. She guided us every step of the way and made sure that we all had a blast. When I got stressed on our wedding day, she was right there to tell me everything was great and to enjoy myself. She made a point to know all of our friends and family member's names. She made a point to talk to people, and our family is still talking about how caring she was. The number one thing we have gotten compliments on after the wedding is her. She just went above and beyond in every single way. We were happy with our decision before we even saw our pictures. THEN we saw our preview and were absolutely blown away. Jackie is just an incredible person and should maybe be invited to every wedding ever haha but her photography skills are more than we could have ever imagined. We wanted a photographer who genuinely cared about our day and we got that and more with Jackie.

    THE Best Wedding Photographer

    How do we give Jackie more than 5 stars???? Words cannot describe how incredible she is - as a photographer, person, and businesswoman. Communication was always fast and she instantly makes you feel like a long time friend. We ended up booking her for our rehearsal, wedding, and wedding brunch and are so happy we did. Jackie went above and beyond our expectations. It's really not a question of whether you should book Jackie, but whether you are lucky enough to snag her before her calendar is full!

    Incredible Photographer, An Even More Amazing Person

    I have put off writing a review for Jackie, not because she isn't amazing (because, as I will more fully explain below, she's an absolutely INCREDIBLE human and insanely TALENTED photographer), but because I just didn't know how to put into words what Jackie's work meant to me, and all the ways in which she and her talent have permanently impacted my life. But the world needs to know, so here it goes:

    First of all, I'm pretty sure Jackie's work speaks for itself. I don't need to tell you what amazing work she does, because if you have 2 eyes, you already know that. What you don't know by looking at her magazine-worthy photos that make you feel emotions in your toes, is that she is the type of human that goes above and beyond for others. She has an absolute heart of gold and is a rare breed of amazing human that may just touch your life forever.

    After stalking Jackie's work from afar for years (and telling myself that if I were to ever get married, I needed her to photograph the day), I contacted her to schedule her as my wedding photographer. At the time, all I knew was that I wanted her to take our destination wedding photos. What I didn't know is that my terminally ill father would have a medical emergency rendering him unable to travel right before the big day, and I would actually need to plan a last minute impromptu wedding the week before our scheduled celebration in Belize. Without hesitation, Jackie offered to drop everything in order to photograph our new wedding day. I believe her exact response was "Just tell me when and where and I'll be there." Perhaps is goes without saying, but her generosity, kindness, and understanding during such an emotional and uncertain time, meant the absolute world to me and my family. Not only did she photograph my day, she captured every beautiful, heart wrenching, happy, amazing moment. To this day, I have yet to show our wedding photos to someone without them tearing up.

    What's more is that we still also had our destination wedding, and Jackie (of course) kicked major photography ass during that celebration as well.

    But again, beautiful photos are photos. What Jackie is first and foremost, is an incredible human. A human who will dance her face off with your reception, carry your veil around her neck like a scarf, wake up with you at the ass crack of dawn on your wedding day to take golf carts with you and your bridal party to a secluded Belizean beach, make your family love her like they're known her their whole lives, and deliver lifelong memories to you in a way I'm confident NO ONE else could.

    Look no further

    Jacilyn did our couples photos and a few years later our wedding. Jackie’s images are so unique and well thought out. She spends hours before prepping by meeting with you and finding the best spots. She does her research and she knows what’s up. She also spends time memorizing all of your family members names because she knows how important those people are to you and she really cares. Jackie is well worth the investment. You can rest easy knowing you will get photos that will last a lifetime.

    Jackie is amazing - highly recommend!

    Jackie is an unbelievably talented photographer - I could not recommend her more! We had such a great experience with her when she shot our wedding, and the photos she delivered were breathtaking. Jackie starts the wedding process with a very thorough questionnaire that helps her on our special day. She knew everyone's names in our wedding parties and family because of that questionnaire - so helpful and professional. Everyone was so impressed! Her and her partner Amanda were very sweet and helped me relax and have so much fun! I could go on and on about how much I enjoyed Jackie's company and her work - HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! We'll be contacting her in the future for more photos :D

    Amazing Mountain Resort Wedding & Day-After Photos

    Jackie is incredible! She had never shot a wedding in Yosemite before, then she travels here and captures it so perfectly that it felt like she'd been taking photos here for years. She navigated the park with ease, and we loved her genuine, easygoing, and fun personality.

    It was very important to us to not feel rushed with photos, and we appreciated all of the time she spent with us. She came for rehearsal and took time to explore the area. In addition to capturing our whole wedding day, we also had a day-after shoot from sunrise to sunset. We suggested a few general locations for that day, and Jackie ran with those and found the most extraordinary photo spots.

    Photography was #1 for our wedding, and we're so grateful we had the opportunity to work with Jackie!

    Amazing experience

    Jacilyn and her team were AMAZING! We are from Texas and eloped to Montana and she knew exactly what we were looking for and wanted in our photographs. She knows the area, took time to help me pin my hair and headband right before the wedding, and made both my husband and I comfortable and stress free throughout the entire process! Her packages were awesome too. They include everything and anything you can think of to make your special day the BEST. I can’t thank her enough for her work and her dedication to making our wedding PERFECT! She is THE BEST and her photos are beyond beautiful. I would recommend her a million times if I could!

    Jackie is the best out there! Loved every minute of her being a big part of our wedding. She is so flexible and able to get pictures done quickly and they turn out amazing! Such a great personality and easy to work with! I would recommend her to ANYONE! When we got engaged, she was the first person I contacted to make sure we could get a date that she was available. This was even before we had anything nailed down at all. She helped me find the venue and gave me tips and tricks about when we should start our pictures and how the sunlight can effect your pictures. What a wonderful, amazing, lady she is. And her pictures... OUTSTANDING!

    Words cannot express how happy we are with our decision to have Jacilyn photograph our wedding day! Never ever have wedding pictures been fun until we got to experience a true professional that knows exactly what she's doing! The proof is in our pictures. We will cherish them for the rest of our lives. Much love and so many thanks Jacilyn. You rock! ❤

    Jaci is amazing. My husband and I had been looking for photographers, and had decided to interview five. I had already had Jaci on my list, as I had seen some of her work from a friend of a friends wedding. We had lovely interviews with everyone, but Jaci stuck out. She was so welcoming and down to earth, but at the same time very laid back, which we appreciated.

    I had a very specific picture in mind. I knew I wanted mountains in the back, and wanted someone who was able to capture not only us as a couple, but the beauty of Montana. She nailed it! We have so many amazing pictures to choose from. Our pictures were also ready just a few weeks after, which was so appreciated.

    The day of the wedding, she made everything go very smooth and easy. She remembered all of our families names, and we as able to get every picture we asked for and she still got us to cocktail hour. We actually had fun taking pictures and we never felt that we were being taken away from the wedding.

    She even sent us a gift after our wedding, which was all of our featured pictures wrapped and placed in a beautiful glass box. She goes above and beyond. Her customer service is amazing, she never went more then 12 hours answering any of my emails and questions.

    If you have the chance, take a look at some of her pictures, they are amazing. I would reccoemnd her to everyone, time and time again. Thanks for everything Jaci!

    Everyone- stop whatever you are doing, including reading this, and book Jackie as your photographer! I PROMISE you will not be disappointed- unless you don't book her right away and she is already booked! Jackie is simply too fantastic for words. I contacted her 5 days before our elopement and was so pleasantly surprised that she was somehow available. She is so easy to be around, she 100% makes the effort to understand who you are as a couple and then she effortlessly embraces who you are and captures you and your honey perfectly. She seriously is a magician. She is efficient and fast, which is so important if it's super hot out and you're sweating out of your dress! I just can't say enough about how great she is- taking our photos was one of our favorite parts of our wedding day and neither of us ever expected to even enjoy it, let alone have such fond memories of our time together with her. So, do yourself a favor and book her- it'll be the best wedding related decision you will EVER make.

    I fell in love with Jackie's work as soon as I saw it. Because we are based in different states, I always admired from afar, never thinking I'd have the chance to book her as my wedding photographer.
    As soon as I got engaged and knew it would be a destination wedding, Jackie was the first person I booked. I knew that as long as I had her photos, the day would be perfect. I was not wrong! We could not be more thrilled with her work. She captured our moments so wonderfully. Her communication and personality are an extra bonus that come along with booking her. You will not be disappointed by Jackie M photography.

    I really don't even know where to start and I mean this in the best way possible. Trying to plan a wedding from across the country was a tad bit challenging and I was completely clueless as to what photographer to use for my wedding. I searched and searched and when I found Jacilyns page, I was just amazed! I knew instantly I wanted her to capture my special day and I am so glad that she Did. I could go on all day about how wonderful Jacilyn and her work are... but to sum up our experience I will say that she was so patient with us, so helpful, our photos are absolutely amazing and she is a beautiful person inside and out!! Thank you for being a part of our day and perfectly capturing some of the best moments of our lives!! Saying shes the best of the best is an understatement.

    This review is long overdue! It has been over a YEAR and I still am in love with my engagement and wedding images!! As a stylist I work with a lot of different people in the photography biz and have never met anyone like her! Unique, easy-going, organized, fun, and professional are just a few words to describe my experience with Jackie! Highly recommend!!!

    Jackie photographed our wedding day and I could not have been happier with the entire experience! Our wedding ceremony and celebration was very small - just me, my husband, and our parents. I was nervous about having the other person at our wedding be a photographer, but Jackie's energy that day could not have been more perfect. She is so professional, while also being calm, fun, and relaxed. My husband and I felt at ease the entire day and it showed in our pictures. Jackie arrived at our location the day before to scope out great places for photography and to be prepared for the early start the next day. Her adventurous spirit and willingness to brave the cold and the mountains on our wedding day with a smile was exactly what we needed.
    I love how the photography turned out. I remember the day Jackie sent me the final pictures and her blog posting with our wedding. I was driving and pulled over right away to check them all out. It was emotional to see the beauty of the scenery and our happiness captured so well!

    Jackie was amazing from the very start. She did both our engagement pictures and our wedding pictures and we love all of them. She was very easy to work with and even came out to the Seattle area to do our engagement photos as we are living out there but were getting married in Montana. The engagement pictures were so fun to take, we just took a walk through the woods and when we were done we had some really cool pictures. She was very responsive and organized which made things so easy the day of the wedding. We got married in Montana in February and it was raining the day of the wedding and it was so nice for all the family to have it all so streamlined so they didn't have to be out in the rain any longer than needed. I absolutely love the pictures that she took and every time I look through them I find a new favorite. And did I mention that she got us the pictures so fast. I was shocked with how quickly we had them all in hand. Especially after having several family and friends wait several months to receive theirs. Jackie was great to work with, very timely and we love the pictures. We can't wait to get more taken.

    Jackie is the best!!! I discovered her on Instagram and immediately began following her because I loved the fun, uniqueness of her work. Her photos are absolutely stunning!!! Prior to hiring her to photograph our wedding next September, I met Jackie for coffee to discuss all the details in person. Not only is she incredibly bubbly and easy to talk to, she answered all of my questions (believe me, I had a lot) and immediately put any wedding photography concerns to rest. I'm horrible with computers and Jackie took the time to walk me through the photo gallery website she uses. She explained how to navigate everything and showed me how I would get our engagement photos onto our wedding website.

    We had our engagement session with Jackie a couple weeks ago and I was blown away! My fiancé, who hates being in front of the camera, had a BLAST!!! Nothing about the experience was awkward, which is often the case when you have a camera 4 inches from your face. The three of us laughed the ENTIRE time and our pictures, which Jackie had edited and back to us in less then a week, turned out beautifully!!! I am beyond excited to have her photograph our wedding!!!

    Jackie did an incredible job on our wedding photos! From the moment I saw her website I fell in love with her style. She was quick to respond, easy to talk to, and was just as excited for our wedding as we were! She made taking portraits, bridal party, and family photos a breeze and fun. I was so impressed that she knew our family members' names as she called people in and out of certain pictures. She braved the rain/sleet that we got during our ceremony like a trooper and went along with our mid-ceremony location change. She interacted with our families and guests during the reception and yet she still captured every moment. By the end of the night she even joined in with some of the dancing. Our sneak peeks were up on her blog within a few days and she got us all our photos just a few weeks later! She was so detailed in her editing that she would take out a small blade of grass that was in front of our outfits. She is truly spectacular and you won't regret booking her for your wedding, engagement, or family photos.

    We have nothing but the best to say about Jacilyn M Photography! Jackie was always quick to respond to our emails and helped us create a package that would work perfectly for us. She shot our engagement pictures down in Glacier in April and we had the most excellent experience. She made us feel so comfortable, we laughed the entire shoot! We cannot wait for her to capture our wedding next summer.
