weddings
I have the honor to capture and preserve the authentic joy and smiles of a wedding day. I believe in beautiful wedding days but, more importantly, having a marriage that is even more beautiful - a marriage that begins a legacy that will inspire future children and grandchildren. A marriage like this is rooted in faith, promises, and laughter.

You fire off an email and before you know it, we’re chatting about your day on the phone! I’ll send you a to beautiful website packed full of helpful information and we’ll then schedule a day to flip through heirloom albums while talking all things wedding!
After our chats, you know in your heart this is what you need to make your day perfect. Signing the contract and paying the retainer is as easy as checking out with Amazon Prime! Keep an eye on that mailbox for a fun surprise welcoming you to the LJ Bridal Family!
It’s time to schedule that makeup trial run, and rent your dress from Rent The Runway, because you and your future hubby have a date night in front of my camera! We’re going to laugh and take beautiful photos of the two of you!
Timelines, vendors recommendations, and final consults, my experience, and my knowledge in photographing over 100 weddings, are at your full disclosure! LJ Brides are not walking this journey alone!
Let that stress you’re feeling in your shoulders escape the moment I walk in the room. That wedding day knowledge I have? It’s going to help make your day go by smooth. We’re going to laugh, smile till our faces hurt, and even shed some happy tears together! YOU’RE GETTING MARRIED TODAY!
The wedding day happened, but there’s only proof of it in your gallery (that you got back in DAYS - not MONTHS!). It’s time to bring that proof to life with heirloom albums, and canvases hanging on your walls! Can’t decide what you want to hang? No worries! I’m here to help with that, too!
I love working with Brides who aspire to love deeper and harder than even the best Nicholas Sparks novels – the Brides who dream about the golden anniversary, 50 years. The LJ Bride desires to have a stress free wedding day and looks for guidance from me to make sure the pictures tell the best love story possible. The LJ Bride is totally into pretty details, beautiful gowns, and jaw-dropping florals. But, she values what comes after that more – a loyal and loving marriage that is rooted in faith, loyalty, and laughter. She dreams of a marriage that weathers all the seasons together, hand in hand.
philosophy
“Her photos are absolute works of art and we couldn’t be happier!”
I can’t stress enough how crucial it was to my husband and me to have a photographer we trust because they are one of the most important aspects of the day. She took time with us, paid attention to detail, and her turn-around time has wowed everyone I talk to. My husband and I will continue to recommend her to everyone we know who is getting married. She’s the best and I love her, truly, from the bottom of my heart. I know you will, too.
“You won’t find a better, more professional, more amazing photographer than Loren Jackson!”
From start to finish she is completely dedicated, regularly checking in with you and sending wedding tips and tricks to make things easier. She is exceptionally prompt and professional, but not at the expense of being personable; Loren truly makes you feel beautiful, comfortable and is a joy to work with. Her photography is of the same high quality as her work ethic; she has a phenomenal knack for capturing the personalities of those she photographs. I can not recommend her highly enough; her work and the experience she gives you is of the highest caliber.
Book this girl for your wedding!!! She is amazing!
She literally bends over backward for her brides to do everything possible for them. She was such a pro on our wedding day. We are so glad we took her suggestion to have a first look. It took a lot of stress out of the day and it was one of the most intimate and touching moments. Her pictures are breathtaking. Every single one is beautiful. I want to cover my entire house with them. I am in love with her work and think she deserves many thanks! I’m so glad we had her for our photographer. Thank you, Loren!
We would absolutely recommend her to anyone still looking for a wedding photographer!
We are absolutely thrilled with our decision to go with Loren as our wedding photographer. Loren was very easy to work with - so warm and accommodating, and despite her growing business and family, she makes each couple feel special with an excited energy to capture your special day just the way you want it. She's very organized and efficient, able to go with the wedding day flow. Her blog posts and gallery are always available quickly. We are highly satisfied with Loren's work.

Brides will spend on average about $3,800 dollars. This includes eight hours of wedding day coverage, engagement session, online gallery, and the beautiful heirloom album.
How much, on average, does a bride spend on her wedding experience with Loren Jackson Photography?
next question
Simple answer. YES! In this digital age, everyone wants their digital photos including myself! As a former Bride, I was SPOILED with my digitals and use them ALL the time on social media. Even made a board with some of my favorites! And the best part, you receive your digitals in a custom gallery!
Do I receive digital files with my collection?
next question
Here's another simple answer, with a more complex explanation. No. And here's why. In my first year doing weddings, I would let a Bride change things in her collection. I thought it was a win-win. What I didn't realize was that it was a lose-lose. The engagement session is a relationship builder for you, your fiancé, and I. I learn the best way to pose you, I learn that you have a good side, I learn that you love forehead kisses more than I do. And most of all, YOU realize you made the best decision hiring me to shoot your wedding.
I had a friend take our engagement photos. Is there a credit towards our collection?
next question
I'm an impatient person, and while I wish I could give you your Wedding photos the very next day, I'm also not superwoman. But I can also promise you that you won't have to wait six months for your memories, as well. So, that being said, my contract says 4-6 weeks. Depending on the season and how many weddings and engagement sessions I have to edit, there's a HUGE possibility that you won't even wait three weeks
How soon can I expect my wedding photos?
next question
I first schedule a consultation with all inquiring couples. We'll sit down, get to know one another, and I'll walk you through the collections, PASS, and albums. I take some basic information from you (names, numbers, addresses, venue locations, etc). After our meeting, I'll send you your contract and invoice for wedding photography services electronically! It's super easy to sign the contract, you just use your mouse, or your finger if you're on a laptop or phone. Then you have seven business days for me to receive your retainer. The retainer is $1000 and is nonrefundable and nontransferable.
How do I secure my date with you?
next question
The final balance is due 30 days before the wedding
When is my final balance due?
next question
Oh my goodness! OF COURSE! Timelines are super important for your wedding day, and can be stressful if you don't know where to begin. Anywhere from 4-6 weeks before the wedding, we'll sit down together, either in person or on the phone, and work on your timeline. When planning the start time of your ceremony, keep in mind what time the sun sets. If you're having a winter wedding, and not doing a first look, we could be limited with natural light for your portraits after the ceremony.
I don't know where to start with my wedding timeline. Can you help me with that?
next question
First and foremost, you can expect a calm person in your world of hectic. You can expect another Bridesmaid. Someone to help lace your dress, bustle your dress, keep track of your bouquet, and make sure your groomsmen are in line. You can expect direction and order. It is my job to not only take beautiful photos of your perfect day, but to also make sure you are as much of a stress-free bride as possible.
What can we expect out of you on our wedding day?
next question
For investment details and availability, please send a message using the contact form. We accept a very limited number of weddings each year and the average couple spends about $7900 on full wedding day coverage.
