MEET YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER
About Jillian
I’ve been a photographer for almost 15 years and in that time I’ve celebrated with well over 200 couples and documented hundreds of families along the way. I got my BA in Photography and started my business while still in school. Learning photography through film, from shooting to developing and printing my own images, gave me such an appreciation for the craft and a deep connection to printed, tangible images.
Whether your wedding day is a big, lively celebration or an intimate gathering, my job is to help you remember the buzz of excitement in the air, the butterflies in your stomach, the bear hugs from loved ones, the way the evening light danced on empty plates, the laughter with friends you haven’t seen in ages, the brief hand squeezes, and the way it felt to have your favorite people gathered in a place that means so much to you. My work preserves these memories with the kind of beauty the moment deserves so that they can be returned to and lived in for years to come.
The life I live outside of work informs how I see the world. I live in West Michigan with my husband and our two daughters. My favorite days involve time on Lake Michigan, no matter the season.
AS SEEN IN:
“She understood immediately. Met us where we were, and made it all happen. From the first call she thoughtfully dug in on the details and had it all on lock. Family dynamics were covered, the where, the when, the how of it all.
On our day she made us feel so comfortable. She blended in with the day, and photos added to the fun. We never felt like we were being pulled away.”
Morgan & Matt
Her eye for the perfect shot really brought our day to life in the photos and she captured the day in a really genuine and sweet way.
She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and was such a calming presence throughout the day. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer
Anne-Marie & Zeke
Not only is she one of the kindest people ever, her ability to capture the pure emotion and details of our wedding day was incredible. Not only us, but of all of our family friends and guests
