Heather is incredible!
Heather is a pro, she can get anyone looking natural in front of a camera, she’s so much fun. She was reliable through every step of the wedding planning and on the day she freaking DELIVERED. She never missed a moment, she caught it all on her camera and holy hell this girl is so talented, the photos really are the best wedding photos a girl could ask for. I mean think about it, on your wedding day who do you spend the most time with? It’s the photographer. You want that day spent with someone who you are comfortable with and helps make that day special, Heather is your knight in shining armor and the best choice I made (besides my husband of course).Heather Jackson Photography's reply:
Ugh Annie you're pulling at my heartstrings! Thank you so much for these kind words. It means so much to me you took the time to do this. Fingers crossed I get to see you two again! Big hugs! -

Heather was SO fun to work with for my wedding! My partner and I had a blast shooting our engagement photos and Heather added a lot of personal touches to that experience (made a playlist with our favorite songs, brought our favorite beverages, etc.).
On the day of the wedding, Heather truly was a saint! I had a little moment after I got my hair and make-up done and Heather was soooo kind and empathetic. She helped me calm down which wasn't even in her scope of work!
My family was cracking up as we did family photos and she did an amazing job at capturing some intimate moments with them. All of the group photos were quick but the results were priceless. :)
As we were prepping for the ceremony, Heather gave me some really good advice that helped me be present so I could really soak it all up.
The wedding photos turned out AMAZING! My partner is pretty meh when it came to details about the wedding but was beyond happy when he saw all the photos.
All of the communication leading up to the wedding was easy, timely, and great! I truly can't imagine another wedding photographer being as perfect as Heather!Heather Jackson Photography's reply:
Chelsea you're an amazing woman!! Thank you so much for taking the time to write this. I honestly would have threw myself on the floor like a toddler if someone else got to shoot your wedding. I'm so grateful to have been there with you and Garret. Thank you X million for trusting and loving me! Looking to the net time I get to hug you! Big love form Salida! -

Three best friends hanging out
Heather is so so so talented. I cannot say enough good things about her. I did extensive research looking for the best photographer and heather was the one! Sure her pictures are absolutely perfect but what absolutely made our wedding day was it was like she was a lifelong friend we brought with us to enjoy the day. I am not a picture person but you would never be able to tell that from heathers pictures. I am so happy I have these pictures I can look at for the rest of my life! I couldn’t of imagined a better photographer 💕Heather Jackson Photography's reply:
Ah Kendall! You're amazing babe! It means so much to me that you took the time to write this. I'm just so happy I got to be with you two for that awesome day. I get comments on that photo of you and the elk often. Thank you for everything! -

I never would have believed that a photographer could be such a critical asset to making our wedding day perfect but Heather completely exceeded our expectations! She was ‘part of the family’ by the end of our day and literally every single guest commented on how wonderful she was .... how she made us all feel comfortable, made us laugh and captured the true essence of our special day and even more impressively, the true essence of us as a couple.
Hiring Heather was literally the BEST decision we made in all of our wedding planning. We can not thank her or recommend her enough. We believe her approach and work is truly second to none!Heather Jackson Photography's reply:
Thank you Jo Dee! I'm completely honored and thrilled to have been your wedding photographer. You and David are very special and hope our paths cross again. Thank you for everything, and taking the time to write this!! -

Get married and gain a friend!
Heather is amazing! I could not imagine using any other photographer for our special day. We decided on a last minute, intimate wedding and Heather was all on board. She didn’t even know the exact time we were having the ceremony until the night before the wedding, yet she was at our side ready to go. She is so talented with a brilliant vision for those intimate shots. My husband and I gave her the reigns during our photo session and we now have a gallery of unique art we will cherish for the rest of our lives.
All of her talent aside, you can tell that she is an incredibly sincere person and truly loves what she does. She radiates joy and honestly made our wedding day even more memorable. I hope our paths cross again one day because I enjoyed our short time together.Heather Jackson Photography's reply:
Chelsea I just can't put into words how much this means to me!! Thank you for taking the time to write this, and for giving me your trust on your wedding day. It was a day I will never forget and I only regret that we live so far away from each other. I can't wait to meet your daughter some day. All my love from Salida! -

Where do I even start?! Heather Jackson by far, exceeded my expectations with our wedding photos. They are gorgeous, and truly expressed our love, fun and pure happiness that day. She has a unique way of making you feel SO comfortable as you take photos and has an energy that is contagious. Heather made our whole day so fun and easy, as she handled the timeline of the day perfectly. Heather has an amazing character and now my husband and I just want to be friends with her. Haha. She's honestly the best and has such a fun loving spirit. I'd recommend her any day.Heather Jackson Photography's reply:
Nicole!! You're just the best! Thank you so so much for taking the time to leave this review! I appreciate you so much. I hope we get to see each other in person soon. XOXO Heather -

Emily L. Sent on 09/13/2020Great photos great person
Heather was absolutely amazing for both our engagement photos and wedding. We are excited to work with her again for the celebration next year. Her pictures are fun and real and she makes the whole experience wonderful. She has a true talent and the best manor to which she uses it. Her calm/fun love was the best presence to have on my big and nerve wracking day! My family all said “who’s the photographer, she’s great!” Without even having seen her photos. I have had a million complements on her photos and am so grateful she was able to do our wedding!Heather Jackson Photography's reply:
Oh wow, Emily, thank you so much for this sweet review. This made me feel really lovely and made my day! All my experiences with you two have been so fun. I can't wait for next year too!! Thanks again Emily! XOXO Heather -

The best photographer who has become a good friend.
Heather was our photographer for our engagement photos and our wedding photographer. We loved our engagement photos and experience so much that we invited Heather to our Michigan wedding to be our photographer. We then had to cancel our wedding because of COVID and she was so flexible and understanding. Later that year, we decided to just elope in California. She was willing to change her wedding plans and come with just the two of us to photograph us in Joshua Tree National Park. Our photos are unreal. We couldn't have imagined them turning out so beautifully. It was cold, getting dark in the park, and she somehow captured the most beautiful striking photos. Heather is also skilled at making you feel comfortable, being extraordinarily inclusive in her work, and remembers all the details from our interactions. If you want to feel seen - get photographed by Heather.Heather Jackson Photography's reply:
Thank you Casey, for taking the time to write this, and everything in-between. You and Shana are so special, and I will always feel great pride to have been your photographer. I hope I get to see you two again sometime. Big Hugs from Salida! -

Thank you Heather J!
Heather was nothing short of amazing on our special day!
She was there early, ready to go, and so very patient with myself and all of our crazy family and friends. She played a major role in how smooth our day went from beginning to end. She was able to capture the intimacy and pure joy that incased all of us throughout the day. We absolutely love the album that she created for us and being able to look back and re-live that day is absolutely magical. Thank you for taking such good care of us Heather, we are so grateful that we found you!
Heather Jackson Photography's reply:
Liz, you wonderful lady, thank you so much for taking the time to write this review for me. You and Steven are still one of my top favorite couples of all time to this day, and I'll never forget your wedding day. Big Hugs to you both! XOXO -

Best photographer ever!
Ok first off Heather makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera even if you are camera shy. She makes you laugh the entire session. We think of her as part of the family at this point. She really did bend over backwards flying to Minnesota twice for us and we could have not been happier with our photos.Heather Jackson Photography's reply:
Eeek! Lauren you are an angel that flew down from heaven just to grace us with your presence. Thank you so much for taking the time out fo your busy day to write about your time with me. I love you and Sam like family as well. Your engagement session and wedding day were the stuff dreams are made of. Thank you for making me a part of it! Looking forward to the next time I get to see you both and have another adventure (maybe we try the canoe again lol). Thinking of you both often! XOXO -

Fun, creative, and beautiful photos
Wow! Heather Jackson was the absolute best Photographer my now husband and I could have asked for! Heather and my husband secretly planned a destination engagement shoot for me. Jamar said she was easy to work and communicate with and made the planning process enjoyable. Once we were at the shoot she used her creative eye and fun personality to take the most beautiful photos of us! Heather made what could have been an awkward photo shoot (as both Jamar and I don't love having our pictures taken) into one of the best days of my life! She made me feel beautiful and helped us have fun and laugh the entire time. By the end of the day I felt like she was my best friend and before even seeing the pictures, I knew we HAD to have her as our wedding photographer!
At the wedding she again made taking hours of pictures fun for everyone, Heather doesn't just take the "normal" stand and smile pictures, instead she gets everyone involved, laughing, and moving so she can capture candid moments. My wedding had 250 guests and 10 bridemaids and yet Heather managed to get pictures of everyone having a good time! Heather is the type of person who can wear many hats and loves to serve her bride and groom, making sure that they have the best day possible, no matter what it takes! After the wedding I had over 20 people comment on how amazing our photographer was and even 3 people form the wedding ended up hiring her!
Jamar and I love love loved our final results and have both our wedding and engagement photos hanging throughout our house. Although Heather is an extremely talented photographer, her big heart and love for people is what truly makes her special. Needless to say, Heather will be our forever photographer and now friend.
Anyone would be lucky to have her in their lives and apart of their special day!Heather Jackson Photography's reply:
Thank you Nicole!! This review is above and beyond, and I really appreciate you taking the time to write it! Being your photographer meant everything to me, thank you for trusting me and including me on your special day with Jamar. Can't wait until I see you guys again! XOXOXO -

Amazing Person, Amazing Photographs
Heather is not only the photographer you want in charge of capturing your memories on your wedding day, she's also the guest at your wedding that makes the day great!
Before the wedding, Heather was so easy to communicate with and extremely flexible as we planned our big day. She always had a great idea or advice to contribute and made the prospect of getting married on the other side of the country way less stressful! At the wedding, Heather really helped create an atmosphere of celebration and excitement - with her being one of 3 other people at our elopement, that was such an amazing role for her to take on. During our photoshoot, she gave amazing direction and really made it fun for us - quite a feat for two people who are naturally anxious about everything! The photographs that we got back (crazy quickly, to boot!) were unbelievable - I have never been so happy with photos and they are everything that I dreamed they could be. You know those wedding pictures you see in your head when you're planning everything? Yeah, she gets those. And somehow better.
All in all, I didn't know Heather before we hired her and now she is one of my favorite people in the world. I will never forget her for how she made our wedding day even more wonderful and gave us photos that we will cherish for a lifetime.Heather Jackson Photography's reply:
KIM, wow, you are a master of words and definitely made me tear up. Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to write such wonderful things about our time together. Your elopement was special, and fun, and really genuine - just like you and Marc. I hope our paths cross again! Sending love from Colorado! XOXO -

Book her now!
We booked Heather for our September, 2019 wedding and are forever thankful that we did. The photos she captured are breathtaking! Absolutely perfect! The amount of compliments we received from our family and friends was overwhelming. Heather is not only talented in her craft, but also a really awesome person. She is funny, friendly, caring and made my husband and I as well as our whole wedding party feel at ease. Many of my friends are planning to book Heather for their engagement and wedding as well. You will NOT be disappointed with Heather Jackson! Thank you again, Heather!!! We couldn't have asked for anything more:)Heather Jackson Photography's reply:
Wow, thank you so much for taking your time to write this review Kristen!! Your wedding was THE BEST, so intimate and fun, one I’ll never forget. Thank you for choosing me! I look forward to the next time I get to hang out with you two! All my love, XOXO -

Elizabeth Sent on 09/13/2019Talented, unique and fun!
Book Heather Jackson NOW for your wedding if you want the most fun, energetic, talented, non traditional photographer ever. If you’re looking for canned, awkwardly posed wedding photos with forced smiles, you should probably look elsewhere.
Let me start by saying that so many guests and wedding party members came up to me to tell me how awesome my photographer was. She was SO much fun, and instead of picture taking being a painful burden in which you are counting down the smiles until you can get to the bar, it was actually a blast for everyone. Heather is full of life, and because of her, we have so many photos of people genuinely laughing and smiling even after the 50th obligatory family photo. And we have absolutely gorgeous photos to show for it.
I was lucky enough to fund her on instagram, and even though at that point she’d done mostly engagement shoots and elopements, I immediately wanted her at our wedding for her unique style. I won’t try to describe her style much, because a picture is worth a thousand words (check out @jackson.takes.photos), but it was artistic without being over the top, and all of her pictures looked so natural and not contrived like other photos. When we met with her, we clicked, and were happy to have her as part of our day.
Heather is easy to communicate with, professional, and have I mentioned how fun she is? We got to know her through coffee and engagement photos, and felt super comfortable with her on our wedding day. She even sent us along little gifts before the wedding, which we will cherish always. Pricing was perfect, as well.
We may have been the most vanilla people Heather has ever photographed (unlike many of her clients, we have no cool tattoos and are always fully clothed), and even though our 135 person New England-crowd wedding was not her typical gig, she crushed it. Her second shooter Amelia was great, too!
Bottom line is Heather is an incredibly talented and fun photographer and you can’t go wrong with her.

Liz you are so wonderful! Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. I had so much fun on your wedding day with Peter. Looking forward to the next time I get to spend time with you both!

Heather Jackson was a HIT!
Heather not only captured our magical day in a perfect way, she also brought so much joy to my husband and I but also to our family and friends in attendance. She was fun, helpful, and a bundle of great energy! She comes highly recommended from the two of us!Heather Jackson Photography's reply:
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review Dustin!! I wish we could do your wedding with Bill all over again because it was the happiest day ever, and the dance party is unmatched. Sending you both my love! XOXO -

Rosa A. Sent on 04/29/2019Look No Further!
Look no further! Whether it’s your wedding, an elopement or a just a special event, Heather can do it all! What first attracted us to her work was her ability to naturally capture a moment; not only did we love her vision, but her unique knack to encapsulate backdrops and details that often get lost. When we first contacted Heather, she was very prompt in responding back to us and she wanted to know what WE wanted. Within that framework, her artistic aptness flourished!
From the moment we arrived at our venue, Heather took it upon herself to help set up our food, greet our guests, as she perfectly integrated into our event. Heather was able to capture emotion, real moments, and things you really don’t think about on your special day. Also, she was just plain FUN! Beyond fun! She got everyone smiling, and just KNEW how to get the best reactions out of every person/situation. As the night went on, she continued to check in with us, asking if we wanted to catch this, or that, and it was just perfect — most photographers have an agenda of their own, and are unable to deviate from their routine. While we are all creatures of habit, Heather made the night all about us, ensuring that we got every shot that we could ever imagine and more!
I couldn’t give someone a stronger recommendation. This person is passionate, talented and she CARES! All of this shows in her work and I am just elated that we chose Heather to capture our special day.
Upon putting our album together, it was truly difficult to only select 150 pictures — and that says it all!
Heather, thank you again for being so kind, caring and professional. Your photos are something that we will have for a lifetime and we are forever in your debt.
Keep up the great work — you have a gift and we are so grateful that we found you! :)
Sincerely,
Rosa & Joseph MannHeather Jackson Photography's reply:
Thank you so much Joey and Rosa! It was my honor to be a part of your day! Meeting your family and friends, watching the way you two love each other - it was beautiful. -

Working with Heather was such a great experience, from start to finish. And she did such an awesome job of making it feel like it was all about us, all about the love. I felt like she was my biggest cheerleader and I'm so thankful that Heather was our elopement photographer. She helped us feel at ease and most of all comfortable, because being photographed isn't the most exciting thing internally-she made it no issue. It was so fun and laid back, I felt like we got to be ourselves and had the right amount of direction. If you want to have someone take care of you and give you some really unique, fun, REAL energy in your photos-Heather is the one you need.Heather Jackson Photography's reply:
Thank you so much Amelia! Being apart of your whole elopement adventure from the proposal to the most perfect wedding day ever was a blessing. Big hugs, Heather
