“We are so lucky to have had Jackie as our photographer!!! And if we ever have a vow renewal, she’s gonna be the first person we book. She is so cool, kind, respectful, artistic, professional and prepared.
I had the chance to meet her in person at a wedding vendor showcase and she was so nice and accommodating. My wife and I are both neurodivergent (ADHD and Autistic respectively) and as the primary unpaid wedding planner for our wedding, I was nervous disclosing this fact to wedding vendors. Being autistic, I struggled to get my vision across with many vendors and ended up being way of base for what I wanted and what they were delivering. But with Jackie, this wasn’t an issue at all. She was very accommodating and gave wonderful advice and suggestions (and came in clutch on several hiccups we had that popped up the day of). She made sure to clarify what we wanted, and was open to our suggestions and ideas. When I had question, she was very kind, clear, and thorough in her explanations which was a comfort and a blessing as an autistic individual.
One of the things I’m especially grateful for is her openness to my sillier requests and shenanigans. I have a really difficult time being “normal” in photos and videos because of an intensified feeling of being watched and judged. As a result, I get uncomfortable quickly in front of cameras because I feel the need to “perform” as myself. In order to cope, I make silly faces or do silly poses which isn't what I wanted all of my wedding photos to be. I told Jackie about my difficulties in front of cameras and that I tend to get goofy as a result which was not at all an issue for her. She embraced the sillier moments day off and we got some hilarious photos while still being able to capture the more “serious” moments because of her cool and calming presence in addition to her expert photography skills .
In addition to being an amazing person, HER PHOTOS ARE STUNNING. Every single person we’ve shown the photos to LOVED THEM. They couldn’t stop commentating on all the little details, scenery, lighting, everything. This is even more awesome when you factor in that she had never been to our locations before and picked the most gorgeous spots to take our photos. One of our original reasons we reached out to her was because we loved the detail shots in her portfolio. When it came to our wedding photos, SHE DELIVERED. She excels at capturing all the little things in addition to the typical shots you normally see at a wedding. The attention to detail, color pops, angles, and scenery all had so much thoughtfulness and creativity put into them. THE DOUBLE EXPOSURE SHOTS ARE SO ETHEREAL AND BREATHTAKING!!! It genuinely felt like receiving 1000 art pieces ready to hang up in a museum or fancy gallery.
Also worth noting: Her website for viewing the photos is very easy to use. She has it set up so well and it is intuitive to navigate (The only issue you’ll have there is deciding which photos are your favorites). It makes it very convenient when you’re out and about and want to show off your killer wedding photos to that great aunt who couldn’t make it, to a random stranger in HEB.
In conclusion, If you want a fun, insanely creative, kind, inclusive and hardworking photographer whose photos will leave you in awe and amazement: you gotta go with Jackie.”
