    Ahh Jacki...where do I even start. Best choice we made for our vendors simply put. Photography was extremly important to me, as you never get that day back again, so I knew I needed the best. "Get real" is her slogan and her pictures are just that-real, natural, beautiful. We have only seen a "sneak-peak" of our wedding pictures on facebook and I'm already in love. We also had an engagement session with her and they turned out Awesome! My husband and I are not the most photogenic individuals and feel completley uncomfortable in front of the camera, but you can't tell in the pictures at all- very impressive!

    The prints she has from her lab she uses...

    If you are the type who doesn’t like to read long reviews and wished people would just get to the point already…well, here’s the point. Jacki V is the best photographer you can get, period. If you are planning a wedding, meet with her and get her booked now so you don’t kick yourself after you miss your opportunity. For those who want details, feel free to read on below.

    We had met with one other couple before Jacki and they were very nice but we left without a connection. After 10 minutes of talking to Jacki we knew we were going to go with her. Our 60 minute session turned into almost two hours because we got...

    For our wedding, my husband and I were looking for a photographer who was first and foremost able to capture real moments from our day. We wanted someone who took exceptional candid photos, but was also able to make posed shots look candid. We wanted to have fun taking photos and have our photos reflect that. We especially didn't want any of the "typical" poses--traditional wedding party "church" shots, bridesmaids back-to-back, people randomly jumping...all that nonsense. We also wanted someone who could energize us without being annoying. Jacki was all of that, and more. The pictures we got back from our wedding day were astoundingly beautiful. In the words of my good friend and fellow bride, they were the...

    When I first came across Jacki’s website I immediately fell in love with her photos. When I found out how much she would cost to have for our wedding I was really bummed because she was way out of our budget. After talking it over, my husband and I decided to at least still meet with her, hoping we wouldn’t get a good feel for her anyway and it would be easier to move on and keep looking for the right photographer. After meeting Jacki, there was no turning back. She is such a fun, talented, genuine person. My husband and I absolutely loved her! We made some changes in our planning so that we could work around our...

    I am starting to tear up as I write this, I came to know Jacki through my mom as Jacki did the photography for my mothers wedding to her second husband. Jacki did an amazing job for my mom and I only wanted Jacki for my own wedding, no one else would do. I cry from happiness every time I go through the pictures, to have the moments from the most special day of my life captured in a way where you remember the feeling is something no one can put a price on.

    From the first moment that my husband and I met Jacki at her home we had such a warm and welcoming feeling about her. She was so excited to hear about our story and what we wanted for our wedding.

    I had a couple of concerns about having pictures taken. My family does not like their pictures taken. I was so worried about having picture after picture of eveyone lined with the plastered smile on their face because I have seen that before.

    I was also concerned because I am a plus size girl and wanted to look beautiful on my wedding and didn't know how this was going to go.

    I shared these...

    From the moment I met Jacki standing at the bottom of the Giant Yellow Slide at the MN State Fair (after my fiance at the time proposed) and she snapped a few pictures just minutes after the proposal, I knew it was fate. There is something about Jacki that is simply magical- you see her work and it brings you to tears. She really does get just as excited as you do about your big day- the way she brings energy into everything she does is amazing. I cannot tell you how many compliments I have received about our wedding photos- too many to count! Jacki is a joy to work with and is so professional and fun. Something...

    There is a reason Jacki has a perfect 5 star rating on Wedding Wire - she is the best out there!

    I began my search for a wedding photographer shortly after we got engaged as it was my number 1 priority - find a good photographer. Jacki came recommended to us through our reception site. We met with her and instantly I felt a connection with her. After meeting with two other photographers, it was evident, Jacki was the one for us.

    Jacki was/is always so willing to answer our questions, provide feedback etc., and my husband asks a lot of questions! She was extremely helfpul in helping us put together the schedule for the...

    As a mother of the bride I want other parents to know they will be "blown-away" by Jacki!!! She has a wonderful heart, an amazing eye, she does not miss a thing, and takes time to get to know the bride & groom. Our daughter filled out a 7 page questionnaire-she knew everyone's name from the beginning and the entire bridal party loved her!!
    Jacki is truly gifted-one picture of our daughter brought my husband & I to tears and we could not stop looking at the picture. We showed it to several friends from an I-phone and literally their jaws dropped and they stopped what they were doing!!
    Jacki will capture the essence of your Forever Moment in...

    Don't get posed, get real!!!! This is exactly what Jacki is all about! I had heard about, seen, and followed the fabulous work of Jacki even prior to my wedding. Thus, we I was engaged, Jacki was the first vendor I called to reserve for the date! And nonetheless, a holiday weekend. Jacki was ecstatic from the get go. I could feel her energy and enthusiasm from the moment we first met. Moreover, we actually never met in person until my wedding day, although, I felt like I had known her forever. She has a true understanding of what the client wants and works diligently to meet your needs. She is easygoing, friendly, organized, and timely. I did not...

    Jacki V. is fantastic! I am in the design industry and I routinely judge professional photography as part of my job . . . so you could say I'm pickier than most. My wedding photos are simply amazing. Jacki has more talent and skill than most who do wedding photography. You won't regret working with Jacki.

    Jacki was wonderful, even on our short timeline... she was patient with us and was able to work with us on our budget to get us what we wanted. The photos are fabulous and creative. Everyone keeps telling us how professional and original the photos are and that she really has an eye for setting up the perfect photos.

    I can't imagine having any photographer other than Jacki! If you are seeking a photographer, look no further...Jacki is the one, and you'd be missing out if you don't hire her to shoot your event. Jacki photographed our wedding, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the results. Her eye for light, composition, and mood are unmatched. I don't know how she does it...it's clearly pure talent. Jacki is experienced, efficient, and can read people pretty well. She knows when to give you more direction, or less direction, and understands how to communicate that direction based on each person's style. Jackie is also extremely personalized in her approach to photography. She has an endearing knack for making you feel...

    Jacki is an extraordinary artist and individual.

    We felt so blessed to share this journey with her!

    Jacki, you both captured and helped to create the loving
    joyous space and the sacred moments throughout.

    You captured the preparation as my mom and aunt dressed me and your
    presence helped to calm me and make me laugh! You captured the
    surprise and laughter, and a few tears as my dad and brother saw me
    for the first time. You created the sacred space as Ben and I saw each
    other for the first time

    It felt as though you were capturing the moments and the puzzle pieces
    of our lives beginning each with our own immediate...

    As the mother of the bride, I was not involved in choosing the photographer (just paying the bill) but my daughter could not have chosen a more artistic, professional, fun photographer to capture the day of her wedding. Jacki and her assistant were there to capture every minute of this special occasion, from hair & makeup in the morning, to pre-ceremony pictures of bride, groom, attendants and family members, to the ceremony itself, reception, dinner and dancing extending late into the night. They caught all the fun and joy without being in the least bit obtrusive. The pictures are amazing and the album she created is an absolute work of art! Great to work with, great results!

    It was truly an honor to have Jacki as our photographer. From the moment we met, Jacki captivated me, my husband, and my parents with her delightful personality, her realistic approach to big celebrations, and her talent. I am a stickler when it comes to photography and Jacki not only met all of my expectations, she exceeded them times 10.

    I think her magnificent photos speak for themselves, but it's her passion that really sucks you in. Jacki's enthusiasm is infectious and her knowledge in the field left my husband and I at ease on the wedding day and every day prior.

    We are constantly receiving compliments on how beautiful our wedding and engagement photos are...

    Jacki is the ABSOLUTE BEST! From our engagement pictures through our entire wedding planning process to our actual wedding day, Jacki was so professional, extremely responsive, so very personable, and not to mention a FABULOUS photographer. Our engagement photos and wedding photos are STUNNING. We husband and I have a huge canvas of a photo Jacki took of us hanging in our bedroom, and every single person who sees it comments on how gorgeous the photo is. Jacki has a way of capturing the moment so perfectly and beautifully, and I've never seen another photographer snap such awesome photos the way she does. She is amazing to work with - always responds to my emails within the same day,...

    As soon as I saw Jacki's pictures on the Knot I knew I wanted her to photograph our wedding. Upon meeting Jacki I was thrilled that I was going to have a fantastic photographer and someone who wanted to make mine and my husband's day extra special. She was so easy to work. When we got back from our honeymoon Jacki already had our pictures on a CD for us. She also knew that my 10 year class reunion was shortly after our wedding so she printed some pictures for us to have for my reunion. Jacki really goes above and beyond in every way possible. She is a true artist.

    Jacki was WONDERFUL! We talked to a number of photographers and the minute we met Jacki I knew she was the one for us. Her excitment level was so fun to be around that I knew I didn't have to worry at all about our pictures. And I was right, the day went perfect and my wedding party and family had so much fun with Jacki and her assisant. And the pictures were beautiful! I couldn't have asked for more!

    I searched and searched for a wedding photographer who would be flexible. We didn't want to be forced to buy a traditional package with a certain number of pictures, and a photo album, etc. We wanted to build our own, and Jacki worked with us to do that. She took FABULOUS pictures for our outdoor wedding, was so pleasant to work with, and just made what could have been a very hectic day, a fantastic one. She took plenty of pictures, we then had a few blown up, and got a DVD of the rest of them. It was perfect. I am so grateful we connected with her, now that we've moved on to the next stage in life...

    We had looked far and wide to find the right fit for a photographer and the minute we met Jacki V, we knew she was the one! She is kind and generous, she is thoughtful and very responsible (which is something you really need in a wedding vendor). I think the greatest thing about her is that with every project she does, she is truly happy for the couple. Her mind isn't anywhere else. She is focused on your day and how to make it the most memorable and spectacular day of your life. She is the easiest person to be around and the kind of person you can easily rely on for the biggest day of your life....

    Jacki V. Photography was one of the most refreshing parts of our wedding day! Jacki is reliable and has such tremendous natural talent. She definitely made the day a seamless process, which is how it should be on your wedding day! We felt very comfortable with the shots that Jacki recommended. Despite it raining on our wedding day, we were so pleased with our outdoor photos, they were natural, fun, and very memorable. Although we loved the photos of the two of us, our families, and the wedding party, some of our favorites are the candid shots of our guests at the reception. She took such timeless and beautiful candid shots that we were able to include in thank...

    We got married over a year ago and people are still commenting at how beautiful our wedding photos turned out. Jacki goes above and beyond the norm of wedding photos. She talked with us a ton before our wedding to figure out what kind of pictures we wanted to have and just to figure out what kind of people we were to help us not "stress" over our wedding photos. She has an amazing eye for photography and helped us create pictures we never thought possible. I recommend Jacki to everyone who needs ANY pictures taken. She is a fantastic person and was very respectful. She wasn't like other pushy photographers who take over the photo shoot. She also...

    To say the least, our pictures were way more incredible than all of my friends who used different photographers. Jackie went above and beyond for us. All of our wedding party said they had never had so much fun taking pictures. It was incredibly relaxed and easy-going. She put together an album for us that was more magazine style than just a book of pictures. She really helped capture the true feeling of the day. We felt so comfortable with Jackie and never regretted our decision to work with her. She really gave us her full attention and care.

    When I first met Jacki, I was immediately impressed with her professionalism and personality. She is so energetic and passionate about photography. I quickly decided that she was the one I wanted to photograph our wedding. I spoke with her a few times before the wedding to discuss what we wanted out of the photography and she was attentive to all our wants and needs. On the day of our wedding, Jacki was amazing to work with! All of my friends and family commented on how professional, yet personable she was throughout the day. She managed to capture everything, yet wasn't intrusive or overbearing and got along so well with everyone. She was really amazing. When it was time...
