Jasmine was absolutely incredible! [...] she absolutely blew me away the day of the wedding. She kept me calm when others were stressing about time. She made sure I was enjoying myself and that my husband and I were having a good day. She took AMAZING photos. I love the album that she delivered. The sneak peeks alone would make me happy, but the full album was truly spectacular. Thank you so much, Jasmine!

“Photography is one of the most important parts of a wedding day. Although I have memories that will last forever, I am so grateful to Jasmine for capturing our day so perfectly. Jasmine is incredibly kind and was not put off by our "awkwardness" when taking pictures. She gave cues that helped enhance our natural state rather than posing us. She captured our happiness throughout the day. Her attention to detail is impeccable.[...] She exceeded my expectations in every way.”

I cannot recommend J Lauryn Photography enough. Jasmine and her team are so incredibly professional and organized. We met with Jasmine for an initial Zoom call to review her previous work, get an idea of her process and so she could get to know us too. Once we booked, we scheduled time to discuss the engagement shoot. She shared location recommendations, lookbooks, and even outfit recommendations based on the vibe and inspo images she shared. We did the same process ahead of the wedding. We loved that she didn’t just send back the inspiration images we sent her, her and her team (shout out to Jackie!) created a mood board with new images based on what we liked. Jasmine worked with my planner and created such a detailed timeline that my wedding planner built our wedding timeline based on the one Jasmine shared. On top of their professionalism, Jasmine, Jackie, and Taylor (the second shooter for our wedding) are so incredibly nice and have a great sense of humor. We received our wedding photos about a week and half after our wedding. The team captured so many great posed and candid shots. I am looking for more reasons to work with them in the future!

Working with Jasmine and her team was truly incredible. She is the most professional, intentional and organized person. We booked Jasmine about 15 months before our wedding, so we were able to do a (complimentary!) engagement session with her and had a few planning meetings beforehand. She was incredibly communicative, paid attention to detail, and listened to our specific photo desires for our wedding day. We picked Jasmine because we wanted beautiful family portraits that would be timeless. We got those and then some incredible candids that I didn’t even know I was looking for. I cannot recommend her enough for someone who wants a photographer (and team-shoutout Jackie!!) who has a plan for every part of the day, is patient, professional, and an overall amazing photographer.

As a wedding planner, I have worked with J Lauryn Photography for multiple events. She is always kind, patient, professional, and attentive to the details. Her images are stunning and often capture a vantage point that even I, as the planner, am not able to see first hand. J Lauryn is also very prompt with the delivery of images, which is important for couples who is biting at the bit to see their photos. Her passion for her work shines through with every image at every shoot, whether engagement or wedding.

I can't express enough how amazing Jasmine and her team are! [...] My husband and I are both very awkward when taking pictures, but you could never tell that from the photos Jasmine and her team took. We couldn't even fully articulate our vision, but she perfectly brought it to life. Jasmine is a true professional; she and her team went above and beyond to give us the best photos. They are a truly talented and creative group of people, and I couldn't recommend them enough.

Jasmine was absolutely amazing! Her attention to detail, timeliness, and calm demeanor helped keep us so happy all day. Even when we were running out of time to do family portraits, she remained calm and prioritized what we wanted the whole day.

Jasmine Oliver makes magic in her photos. We felt great vibes with her during our initial Zoom meeting, and that feeling grew during our engagement shoot. She is able to make you feel relaxed and captures you naturally--you never look posed or stiff. Her level of detail and the in-depth questionnaire really helped us share our vision for the day. We couldn't be happier [...] Hire her.

We are grateful for their quick and clear communication, willingness to flex and pivot when needed, mindful teamwork with other vendors, and warmth and humor throughout the process!

My husband and I got married in June of 2021, we booked Jasmine as our photographer. She and her team were incredible! Her energy throughout the day was so calming and our photos turned out breathtaking! She is by far one of the best photographers in the Chicagoland area. Book her ASAP!
