  Based on her work product alone, I knew the minute we got engaged I had to have Jill shoot our wedding! After meeting her and her husband/second shooter Buddy, it confirmed even more that we were going to love spending the day with them (you really spend a lot of your wedding day with your photog so make sure you like them!) Jill and Buddy are an absolute joy to work with and hang out with, and Jill is an expert and making you feel totally comfortable in front of the camera. They work quickly and efficiently and the final product is absolutely breathtaking - Jill is so extremely talented. Well worth the price - I would book Jill and Buddy again in a heartbeat!

  Jill was hands down my favorite vendor. I never realized how big of a role the photographer plays in your wedding day. I didn't even meet her until a little while before the wedding because I hired her based off of recommendations from our planner and her amazing work online. Her personality totally made the weekend! We had her at all 3 of our events and she was a pleasure to work with. I wanted a balance of candid and suggested/posed photos and she did that perfectly. I can be awkward but she knew just how to make my husband and I feel comfortable and have a ton of different great shots. We had a bunch of large family portraits we wanted taken and everyone was so impressed with how quickly she got all of them taken during the reception. She showed a sneak peak of our photos on an ipad at our reception and I was in love with them all! I cannot wait to see her full amount of photos but from the 30 I already have I am ecstatic already!

  We were SO lucky to have picked Jillian for our wedding photographer. She is so sweet and puts you right at ease while taking pictures. You feel like you are working with a friend you have known for years! She is flexible, professional and incredibly talented. Our pictures are beautiful and she is able to use the light to make everything look magical. As a bride, you could not pick a better photographer than Jillian!

  We recently got married at the picturesque Belle Grove Plantation Bed and Breakfast. We can’t imagine that anyone would have been better to capture our special day in that beautiful environment than Jillian Powers and her husband, Buddy. Jill was wonderful at helping us build natural chemistry and was awesome throughout the whole process.
  I’ll start by saying that neither of us are models by trade, so posing for hundreds of pictures isn’t something that came naturally to either of us to start. However, Jill has this way of making you feel comfortable. Jill’s considerable skill with the lens would go to waste if she wasn’t such an awesome communicator.
  All of this comes, of course, with our initial engagement photo session in downtown Fredericksburg. That particular day was our initial meeting and it definitely set the tone for the kind of quality of photography that Jill delivers.
  When we got out photos back, I was in complete awe and just totally overwhelmed with just how perfect they turned out. We loved each and every photo and will cherish them for the rest of our lives. We would certainly recommend Jill to anyone in need of a wedding and engagement photographer. The level of care and attention to detail you will receive will be exceeded only by her incredible skill and, dare I say, artistry with the lens.

  Oh my God, this woman is amazing. Our photos are nothing short of breathtaking. She and her husband, who shoots with her, are so laid back and clearly love what they do. They instantly put us and our whole wedding party at ease and captured the most beautiful moments. Worth every penny.

  Jill is not only one of the most wonderful people I've ever met, but a seriously awesome photographer!
  
  She's such a calming presence to be around on your wedding day (which every bride needs) and she is so efficient at getting through all of the daily photos, etc. I had a huge bridal party, and huge family, and our photos went very smoothly. Jill is so genuinely kind, and she works hard to make sure that she can get every shot you might ever want!
  
  She even uploaded all of our photos from the day so far onto an iPad and showed my husband and I during dinner- amazing. It was such a relief and so exciting to see that she had already gotten so many great photos!
  
  We also went back outside right after we ate, in order to get more bride/groom portraits during sunset. I still can't believe how many awesome pictures we have from our wedding day! (and how quickly Jill was able to edit and give them to us!) When we got our photos back,  was completely overwhelmed with just how amazing they turned out!
  HIGHLY RECOMMEND :)

  Jill was awesome, great at corralling all of the family for photos, and great at posing us and giving us a ton of options. We are so happy with all of the photos. The best money we spent on our wedding!

  Jillian was by far my favorite vendor of our wedding. She was timely, organized, helpful, and so much fun on our wedding day. We had a photographer debacle about 6 months before the wedding and stumbled upon Jill after our first photographer had canceled. Let me tell you...we were so glad our original photographer canceled. Jill could not have been nicer! She was so kind to all of our guests and really gave us the absolute best experience. We couldn't meet Jill before the wedding which we thought would be an issued. It wasn't at all. She fit in with everyone like she was a friend who decided to take our pictures. Her and Lindsay (the second shooter) were raved about by our guests. She passed around an ipad after our ceremony so some guests could see our first look and EVERYONE loved that. It was like a sneak peak before anything came out. SO COOL! She was so easy to get along with but yet got the pictures we requested with ease. I can't say enough good things about her. The pictures she has posted so far are AMAZING and I can't wait to see the thousands she still has. She was the perfect photographer for us! I would recommend her to absolutely anyone who asked!

  Where do I start with Jill? She is great! She took both our engagement pictures and the pictures on our wedding day. She really got to know us so that our pictures reflect us and the little things that were unique about our wedding. She was very relaxed, which helped me relax and enjoy the wedding. She has an awesome talent and I'm lucky that I was able to book her before the rest of the world discovers her talent!

  Jill is very personable, laid back, and easy to work with! We loved our time with her and felt like we spent time with a friend during our engagement and wedding portrait times. We love our portraits and will cherish them forever! Our only note is that communication was very slow and were given no expectation on return time for photos. We also wished a few more shots had been taken of our families and of details (food, dancing, etc). Other than that, we loved Jill!
