We booked Love & Photos for our wedding photography and videography. Our photographer was Jaylynn,…read moreand our videographer was Jacob. Before the wedding, our assigned photographer changed several times, which made the planning process more stressful than it needed to be. I wasn't able to build a connection with the person who would actually be photographing our wedding until just before the event. I eventually reached out to Jaylynn myself so we could go over the timeline and discuss expectations. On the wedding day, Jaylynn was kind and helpful while I was getting ready. She even assisted my bridesmaids with making sure my dress was laying properly, which I appreciated. However, I was surprised that no "getting dressed" photos were taken, as those are moments many couples expect to have documented. Throughout the day, she often asked, "What's next?" which gave me the impression that she wasn't fully familiar with our timeline or directing the flow of the day. The poses and shots also felt fairly standard, and the sample shot list the company provided wasn't followed very closely. Jacob, our videographer, was professional and quietly captured moments throughout the day without being intrusive. At the time of writing this review, we have not yet received our final gallery. I'm sincerely hoping I'm completely wrong about my initial impressions and that the finished photos leave me speechless. Editing can make a tremendous difference, and I truly hope we're blown away by the final product. I'll happily update this review if the gallery exceeds our expectations.

We couldn't be happier with our experience! From the moment we met our photographer, we knew we…read morewere in great hands. They brought such a calm, positive energy to the day, which made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. What impressed us most was their attention to detail and ability to blend into the day so naturally. They caught every laugh, every tear, and every meaningful glance without ever feeling intrusive. We're so grateful for their talent and professionalism. These photos are something we'll treasure for the rest of our lives. Highly, highly recommend to any couple looking for someone who truly cares about their craft and their clients.

This place exceeded my expectations, and I'm so glad I decided to look into this place when I saw…read moretheir new spot opened up inside of the mall. Their website is convenient, straightforward, and easy to navigate. Still, I decided to call ahead, and sure enough, the holiday package deal really is that good of a deal. Plus, the person who answered was friendly. I booked the snowy photoshoot with my boyfriend and dog. In about 20-30 minutes, they got around 160 pictures. Not only that, but they were incredibly personable and patient. Even though my dog is well-behaved, I truly saw how exhausting it can be (because it was for me!) having a distracted and tired dog in the photoshoot and they did a great job of being patient while still capturing great shots. The remainder of our appointment slot was spent narrowing down which pictures we wanted and what package and options we wanted. They told me the prints would be ready in three days. Sure enough, the pictures were ready in three days. They even counted Sunday into the three day count, so I wasn't expecting the pictures to be ready on a Tuesday. I must say, the price, timeliness and friendliness is what exceeded my expectations. I've had a photoshoot before with another unaffiliated photographer that cost hundreds of dollars and fell short. I would take this over the previous experience any day. On top of that, I have beautiful pictures that I'll be cherishing and sharing with others for a long time. Definitely book here!

When we first met P.J., we were both so nervous about being the center of attention and having to take photos in front of everyone. Fast forward to our wedding day and we felt like natural models!

Booking a photographer for your wedding can be stressful, but rest assured P.J. will make it a memorable experience and be there for you every step of the way. He beautifully captured our special day from the big moment to candid shots. The quick turnaround and quality was also impressive!

I could not think of a better experience than what we had with her. Even with all of her talent in video and photography, she is also an incredible person. Her patience and kindness allowed us to enjoy the time we were together. We are forever grateful for what she provided and are happy to call her a friend after finding her!

She is so easy to be around, and i truly believe that was the main reason why our photos turned out so natural and lovely!

We also paid her for an album we have yet to receive. After about 6 months she stopped responding to all attempts to contact her. She claims to have been ill.

I reported her to the better business Bureau. Do not hire Jennifer! If you must hire her avoid paying her in full until ALL services have been rendered. She also does business under JLE Photography.
