"Jacquelyn is the best, seriously. We actually could not have asked for a better capturing of our wedding day. Every single moment on our wedding day where we thought “Oh I hope she got a picture of that” is in there. Every single emotion I felt that day is perfectly captured. Every single important person is in there. Her photography even revealed a wedding crasher! I could go on and on about how thrilled we are with these. My wife Alycia literally can not stop staring at them and has done very little work since receiving the photos two days ago. We can’t express our thanks enough."

“As a wedding planner, I’ve had the opportunity to work alongside many photographers over the years, and I truly believe photography is one of the most important investments a couple makes for their wedding day. Long after the day itself is over, the photographs are what allow couples to return to the moments, emotions, and memories they may have otherwise missed. Jacquelyn Potter is phenomenal, both as a photographer and as a person. She was incredibly flexible, attentive, calm, and willing to roll with the flow of the day. She never made the wedding feel like a photoshoot. Instead, she allowed the day to unfold naturally while somehow always being exactly where she needed to be. Watching Jacquelyn work was truly a masterclass in documentary-style wedding photography. Throughout the day, I watched her notice and capture small, fleeting moments that no one else seemed to see. She was present without being intrusive, and intentional without ever making anything feel forced. Beyond her talent, Jacquelyn was simply a joy to work alongside, which matters tremendously on a wedding day. I’m incredibly selective about the vendors I add to my referral list, and Jacquelyn earned a place on it without hesitation. I’m so thankful I had the opportunity to watch her work, and I genuinely look forward to working with her again in the future.”

"Jacquelyn is amazing. She captures the soul in her pictures. When I go through our wedding album, I feel like I am there again. It is like she was there during all of the right moments - like when she captured the wink and a kiss that my grandmother blew to me to when our groomsman ripped his pants doing the splits on the dance floor. Her pictures are candid, and so incredible. She was so passionate about photography and was such a hard worker. Jacq was there for the entire day and was always happy. We even requested to take a large extended family photo half way through the reception. At this point everyone was already boozy, and my extended family is huge - but she 'herded the cats' like 'no big deal' and was able to capture this special photo for me. Her work is amazing and she will not let you down."

“Jacquelyn is truly an artist above all else, not just a vendor. Hire her if you are looking for outstanding candids and brilliant emotional captures. Her vision is exceptional and she was an absolute pleasure to have alongside us during the wedding experience. It felt more like having a friend photograph us by the time the wedding day came. We cannot recommend her highly enough.”

“Dear Jacquelyn, Your photographs are beautiful. It is wonderful to open up an endless album of memories and experience it not as a box in which to search for gems, but a tapestry, woven with sumptuous detail after detail. Josh loves one moody one of us by the pond, where the greens almost blur together into a felted background. Joanna loves the intimacy of the photos right after the ceremony - and the way you have captured the laughs we dart toward one another. Everything we hoped for when we first saw your website has been met and exceeded by your work. There are too many exceptional shots - Joanna wants to add the photos of her maid of honor’s speech to our special mentions; Josh wants to add how you captured the various intensities of the moments of group clapping (a tradition from his union). These are poetic; and they offer both a cataloguing surface and a momentous yet personal depth. We thank you for the care you have taken and for bringing your artistry to this event in our lives. We are standing in the kitchen, writing this email together, and Joanna is getting weepy (again). With very best wishes, Josh and Joanna”

"What a timeless way to cherish your loved ones. Our time taking our family photos in Vermont was a magical experience. Jacquelyn was so patient and understanding of my toddlers and their resistance for sitting still. She encouraged their messy playful nature as she followed with grace capturing every smile and true to character traits. We have already started planning our next family photos with her."

“Everything I want to say about working with Jacquelyn falls short of encapsulating what a truly incredible experience it was! My husband have been lucky enough to have engagement photos taken by Jacquelyn as well as our small wedding of 10 people; having her there to capture it felt like family. Jacquelyn takes the time to really get to know the people she works with, she puts you at ease and makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera, she is encouraging and validating. The time and care she puts into her work comes through in her photographs, which capture the big emotions of the day but the quotidian moments as well--all of which to say is that she captures love, and life through her lens. Simply put, working with her was a privilege.”

"Jacquelyn is one of the kindest, comforting, and talented humans on the planet. I was incredibly nervous to begin with, but her humor and kindness made me feel instantaneously comfortable. It was so much fun and I've recommended her to so many of my friends since."
-Keegan | Burlington, Vermont
"Both our maternity and our wedding photos are absolutely stunning. Yet again, she completely outdid herself as she captured the pure emotion involved in the most important times of our lives. We couldn't thank her enough."
