    Perfectly Captured Memories

    Jana was so kind and full of great energy. She was just excited as I was for my special day which meant a lot. She took amazing professional photos for our little wedding and captured all the best moments perfectly. I am beyond pleased with my pictures and I am so grateful to her, especially since we got her on short notice. I would absolutely work with her again in the future!

    The best photographer EVER!

    We originally came across Jana's page at the beginning of our wedding planning process. Her packages were a little bit above our budget so we searched long and hard to find a photographer comparable to her style and quality. After spending countless hours and interviewing 4 other photographers we decided to look back into Jana because no one seemed to add up to what she offered. We decided to increase our photography budget and book Jana. It was one of the best decisions we made for our big day! When my made of honor and I met with Jana prior to the wedding we talked for hours, drank coffee and laughed. I immediately felt at ease in her hands....

    Bryan and I have loved working with Jana! She did our engagement pictures just last week, and we received them only a few days later and couldn't be more thrilled with them. She captures emotional perfectly, and she's creative and unique in her style. Not to mention she knew how to talk us through the engagement session so we got comfortable and had fun with it, to get the best photos possible. We can't wait for our wedding day. We highly recommend Jana!!

    I met Jana in college, so I knew I loved her personality and creativity. Naturally, I've browsed through her blogs over the years because I just love seeing all her wonderful photographs. I first hired Jana for a family session for my parent's 25th wedding anniversary. She was fantastic, always making my family comfortable and giving us suggestions on how to move and pose. When my dad was about 45 min late, she acted like it was no problem and just took mother-daughter and mother-son pictures until he arrived. Plus we have amazing family pictures all over the house now :)

    Jana is such a hardworking friend and photographer. She hid in the rose bushes during my husband's...

    Jana took mine and my soon-to-be husbands photos a few weeks ago - I can not say enough positive things about her. She has excellent knowledge of her equipment, but also has excellent perceptivity for people and reactions. We loved her from the beginning, but absolutely became head-over-heels after we saw the {Beloved} session posted online. I will absolutely refer her as one of my preferred vendors to my 2013 brides.

    Just like the man of my dreams, choosing Jana will be a decision I will never regret :)

    Jana is the BEST!!

    Hiring Jana Marie Photography was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the moment we had our first meeting, I knew she was the perfect fit to capture our wedding day. I always told her I wanted our day authentically captured and she did just that! When I look back at my wedding pictures I can feel all the emotions in the pictures - joy, happiness, excitement, happy tears, and laughter. Jana made my husband and I feel so comfortable and confident in front of the camera (and really throughout the entire process). She was SO much fun to work with and such a ray of sunshine! She has a way of engaging with you...

    Absolutely fabulous photographer

    Jana was our photographer for our destination wedding in December of 2020. I am so glad we splurged to get her. She was able to attend our wedding excursion, wedding ceremony & wedding reception. Since she attended all of our wedding events, I did not have to stress with taking pictures at all. I was able to enjoy my time with my family and friends because I knew she was taking photos and would document everything! She was well worth the extra penny. She was pretty much part of our family by the end of the trip and our families can be a handful. Thank you Jana for all our absolutely wonderful wedding pictures.

    Jana is the real deal

    I couldn't have asked for a better experience with a photographer! Jana completely went above and beyond with our photos and really made our wedding day the best day ever! Her professionalism, organization, quality of photos, communication was unmatched. I would hire her again and again and again. THANK YOU JANA!

    Highly Recommend!

    We decided to bring Jana Marie Photography to Mexico with us for our destination wedding. This is one of the best decisions we made in our wedding planning. Jana was able to capture great photos of our family and friends during our wedding festivities. We did not have to worry about taking pictures to capture the memories as we knew that Jana would get great shots. She was able to attend our group excursion along with our welcome bonfire. We would highly recommend Jana Marie Photography for any type of photos.

    Timeless photos!

    Jana came into our lives by chance, after our original photographer had a scheduling conflict. In the midst of COVID, she was an angel in disguise. Not only was she willing to have numerous calls with us to ease our nerves, she was so professional and cheerful each time we 'met'. I knew the first time I had an hour long video chat with her that she was going to be the perfect person to capture our special day. It has been just under a month since our wedding, and she already has all of our photos posted for us. We had sneak peek's within a few days! A few of our favorite things about the photos she takes...

    Amazinf Quality and Amazing Pricing!

    We were both so happy that we chose JanaMarie Photography to preserve our wedding in photos. Not only was Jana very easy and professional to work with, but we were impressed with how unobtrusively she worked and yet she captured everything perfectly! Guests commented on how she noticed everything significant from cute kid antics to special moments between bride and groom and family. She didn't miss a thing, and I was excited today to hear how much my dad enjoyed the pictures. He couldn’t attend the wedding because he cares for my invalid mother. The pictures made him feel like he had been there and it was such a good capturing of the family members that he purchased the...

    Would highly recommend!

    Jana is such a talented photographer! Her work really speaks for itself. She took both our engagement and wedding photos this summer. They turned out better than we would have ever expected. My husband and I can be pretty reserved, but Jana had a way of making us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Jana captured details of our day that I had no idea I would even want captured! It was so much fun looking through our photos and seeing little moments she caught without realizing she was even there. Her assistant photographer, Candace, was amazing too. They were both so friendly, flexible, and professional- I would highly recommend working with Jana!

    Professional and Friendly

    Jana was the ideal wedding photographer, and if we had to do it all over again, we would go back to her without question. We were drawn to Jana because of her exceptional skill with candid wedding photos, and she captured our special day seamlessly. She was flexible, organized, and very professional. We really appreciated how she was able to handle such a large crowd and keep us on schedule. Jana is a skilled wedding photographer that goes out of her way to make sure your wedding day remains about you and your guests, while capturing those little moments throughout the day.

    One of the best

    Jana is such a fun person to work with. She is very knowledgeable and has provided us with some of the pictures of our special day. She is so friendly and wants what the couple wants. She quickly picks up on the couples relationship and has a way of capturing it in a photo. We loved working with her.

    Best Day of My Life

    ana met us for the first time with a warm embrace. We cancelled the rest of our meetings with other photographers. Her husband and her make a magificent duo. The photos were better than I could have ever imagined! We were so excited to get our albums. Jana made sure that My husband and I had alone time for us on our special day. They captured the moments of our wedding. I will use them again! Just amazing!

    Jana was amazing. Her personality is infectious and she has so much fun doing what she loves. Of course this shows in her work!

    I met Jana at the Indie Bridal show in Kansas City, MO and knew she had to be my photographer when I first saw her pictures. She had a book of her wedding which was in Grand Lake, Colorado (The same place I was getting married!) It was fate! Jana traveled with us to Colorado and photographed my rehearsal and wedding. We also used here photo booth company Bananawho and had a airstream trailer photo booth. Guests loved this!

    Jana's passion for adventure lead us to the best pictures. She convinced...

    If I could give Jana 10 stars - I WOULD! When we started planning our wedding, having a great photographer was in the top 3 on my list of what was most important to us. I have never been the type who is comfortable getting photos taken of myself, let alone posing for photos (and same with my husband) but she made this incredibly easy for us! She is so easy going, personable, outgoing and funny - that it's hard for you to not instantly connect to her and feel more relaxed and at ease on your big day. Jana is very professional and extremely talented and we feel so lucky that she was our photographer on the biggest day of our lives! :)
    We can't thank you enough, Jana! xoxo

    Jana did a fabulous job capturing our special day! She was a pro about being at the right place at the right time (without us even realizing she was there) and captured so many beautiful ‘in the moment’ moments that my husband and I didn’t even realize were happening. Having a great photographer was very important to me. So much special detail goes into your wedding day to personalize it and make it completely about you and your other half as well as your family and friends. While these details are beautiful, personal and or delicious, most details and events are only remembered or recognized on that day. By investing in a great photographer, we can now relive the special moments, memories and details with beautiful photos we will cherish forever.

    We loved Jana the moment we met her about a year ago, and we love her even more after seeing the photos she captured of our wedding. Jana is not only a highly skilled and professional photographer, but a wonderful person to work with and get to know. There was no stress on our wedding day thanks to Jana's attention to detail. We also feel like we got every shot we wanted and then some because Jana was capturing moments we didn't even realize were happening. Thank you Jana! We love you!

    The advice I would give to any couple looking for a photographer is MEET JANA MARIE!!!!!!!! We had visited with 3 other photographers and when we met her we were sold.

    Here is what I sent Jana after receiving our wedding pictures.

    "Oh my gosh!!!!! I am in love. I don't know what I am more in love with you, Ryan or the pictures :) Ha Ha Ha....yes there were still some that I was like EEEEKKKK what was that facial expression that I was making, or why does my hair look funky...but there were some absolutely beautiful pictures. I looked at them this morning and I felt beautiful. It was you and my surroundings...

    Jana is absolutely amazing! She is such a talented photographer and captures special details in everything she does. Having her photograph our wedding was an absolute dream! She was incredibly kind, professional, and organized on what could have turned out to be a very hectic day. We loved every moment of working with her and can't recommend her highly enough!

    Oh, Jana!! Hands down the best investment we could have made! Photography was absolutely my top priority while wedding planning. We met with several amazing photographers, but when my fiancé, mother and I went to meet with her I was so nervous. I so wanted her to like us and agree to be our photographer! We sat down with Jana Marie at her home studio and we were blown away. Her professionalism, joyful attitude, style, and attention to detail were just a few of the things that made us walk away from that first consult knowing she was absolutely going to be our photographer. Her work speaks for itself - she produces the most amazing photos that are light...

    Jana Marie Photography blew us away! Jana photographed our engagement session, as well as our wedding and reception, and we are SO pleased with the photos she has given us. She is incredibly talented and kind and easy to work with and captured our special day so well. We cannot thank her enough for all she has done for us! We absolutely love our photos and can't wait to share them with our family and friends!!
