Hands down the BEST
Jackie was an absolute delight to get to know during the planning process, and an even better person. Incredibly talented, and we are just in awe of the photos we received. She is way more than a photographer - her professionalism and expertise are probably the reason I didn't lose my mind that day with everything going on.

LOVE JACKIE WEDDINGS - WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER IN CONNECTICUT
helping you both feel confident & comfortable is what I do best.
99.9% OF MY COUPLES HAVE NEVER HAD PROFESSIONAL PHOTOS DONE BEFORE.
To be completely honest - my save the dates with my husband were a selfie from a day trip to Salem, MA. And I AM a wedding photographer! I have been for years. Did I wish I had take the time to have engagement photos done? Yes! I let my apprehension hold me back on what I know is an awesome experience.
Most of my couples are a lot like me. Take away the photographer part and we are still human together. The unknown makes you anxious, add photos and you'll feel awkward. This is where I come in with my experience not only as a photographer, but as a bride. Our test run is usually the engagement session which usually starts with "So just want to let you know we've never done this before and we are nervous.." to "Wow that actually easy and so fun - I can't wait for our day!" That's my superpower. I don't come in as the wedding photographer. I come in as Jackie and we have an absolute blast. I see you for you
and I capture the day to tell your story. Years from now, I want you, your kids, grandkids, other family members and friends to see your personalities letting loose on the album pages of your big day.
That, is why I do what I do. I can't wait to tell your story.
Frequently asked questions

Where are you located?
I work as a Wedding Photographer in CT! Though, I'm always up for an adventure and have been all over New England and as far as Alaska and Iceland to capture a big day.
How do we reserve you for our wedding day?
As I pride myself on making things as easy as possible, only a 25% non-refundable retainer and signed contract is due to lock in your date. Then we get to have some fun!
do I have to pay travel fees?
Yes! Anything over 60miles is subject to a travel fee. For Destination weddings, I have specific offerings. Please inquire.
How many images will be delivered?
Each wedding is unique, but in general, usually around 65/hour of coverage. My big priority is that your personalities and story shine through - Quality over quantity with wedding photography always.

How would you describe your style?
Clean but cinematic and timeless. I live for real emotions and moments throughout the day. I have the energy of a unofficial maid of honor or a fly on the wall as needed. I'm a storyteller. That being said, I do close the loop with some classic posed portraiture as well.
what size weddings do you typically photograph?
I've photographed everything from elopements to big weddings here as a CT Wedding Photographer. My main goal through out the day is to adequately tell you story, your vision, your day - no matter the size.
