The Jacqueline Benét

Experience

"Jackie has an incredible eye for detail... there were so many special moments & candids she captured perfectly."

The bridesmaids ran to the corner window to sneak a peek at the groom walking over for the first look. It was in that corner that we took portraits of the bride with her ladies getting her ready. The most beautiful light and clean backdrop for portraits, and now this candid moment unfolding. Little would you know, an hour before that corner was cluttered with furniture. 

What I love about photographing weddings is that it encompasses so many facets - candid moments, stunning details, editorial portraits, and heartfelt memories. Unlike a pure documentary photographer, I look for all the little details to ensure that your images are composed in an aesthetically beautiful way.

I will fix that out of place hair and straighten the hem of your dress. I will look for clean backdrops for capturing your precious memories, even if that means moving all the furniture around in your bridal suite. The details can make or break a gorgeous image, and it is my mission that you and your family will be continuing to oo and aa as you flip through the pages of your wedding heirloom album.

We photograph each wedding day as if it were our own

Having experienced these momentous occasions ourselves, we know how precious these memories are. We know that you want heartfelt moments captured, the details that wow'd your guests, and your story as it unfolded with the very same feelings wrapped up in the images that you felt on that day.

You want to look back at your wedding 20 years from now, thumbing through your wedding album and feel all of those memories come flooding back. That feeling of overwhelming joy when all of your family and friends have celebrated your love together. This might even be the last time your entire family was together all in one place. And that is important, special, and worth investing in.

"I’d do a second wedding if I could, just to be photographed by Jackie again!"

"Jackie is an incredibly talented photographer and a sweet, kind, and patient person, and we are so grateful to have had her as a major part of our special day...Equipped with incredible skill, class, and creativity, Jackie is a top-notch wedding photographer and would be an amazing addition to anyone’s special day."

heirloom albums

preserving memories

We believe in heirlooms that will last a lifetime.

Our job is not done if we simply deliver JPG files to you. We have partnered with exclusive heirloom makers who craft the finest quality albums, prints, and frames that will stand the test of time.

We will walk you through all the options so that you make the most informed selection that best suits your needs and your household. And you can rest assured that your photos will be printed in the correct colors and on archival paper that will last a lifetime (and then some).

In this digital era, it is easy to think that digital files will have the most longevity. But that is simply not true. Where will these files be stored? How will you access them in 30 years? Instead of relying on a hard drive that might fail or an online server that may not even exist when you're older, put your trust in something that will outlast you. These are not only your memories to keep reliving, but a legacy for your children and grandchildren.

Your wedding day photos deserve to be displayed with the same refined style and care that you placed in designing the most perfect day. Because we believe in the longevity of print, we will help all of our clients choose the best option for them to preserve their most cherished memories.
