Planning a wedding is one of the most exciting 😆, nerve-wrecking 😫, beautiful 😍, stressful 😖, and memorable 💭💒times of your life! You get engaged and you are so excited to plan your dream wedding and marry the love of your life and then you look at the to do list and wonder what did I get myself into. Believe me, just last year I was planning my own wedding and there are only 2 reasons I kept my sanity. 1) I had tons of help from family and friends. And 2) I have been photographing weddings for about 4 years now and I learned a a few tricks of the trade a long the way.

It’s a brand new week and what better time to share another GORGEOUS Downtown Philadelphia wedding. 😍 This is my first year photographing weddings in Philadelphia and I must say I am loving it. Philadelphia is really a city like no other. It is filled with so much charm and character. And I love when my couples embrace their hometown and opt to incorporate a little bit of their home…

One thing that I love about MY brides is that we almost always click instantly. Now that I am becoming a little more seasoned as a wedding photographer I’ve learned the importance of having that connection and sharing the same vision with your couples and not just providing a service to collect a paycheck. It will save you a lot of unnecessary headaches. From our initial consultation I knew Danielle was MY bride because it felt less like meeting with a client and more like talking to a girl friend about her wedding plans…

On June 16th 2019, I photographed my very first Philadelphia wedding. It has been quite the transition for me expanding Janelle Jaqueline Photography from Chicago to the East Coast. But honestly I could not have picked a better couple than Sandra & Solomon to begin my transition with. They are literally two of the nicest people I have ever…

Happy Wednesday guys! I know Chicago is basically the North Pole right now so I thought this would be a great time to share photos from a warmer more colorful time. The ‘Fall-ing in Love Styled Shoot’ is the perfect fix for our winter blues. Let’s all look at these photos and remember that if you can survive all 5 months of winter, Chicago can be such amazing place. 😂

Everyone played an instrumental part in making this styled shoot come to life. From our talented glam squad (hair and make up) to the super creative cake artist and florist. Oh and our sweet models, The Capital Couple. They are well know D.C. bloggers who keep us up to date on all the fun things to do in Washington D.C.

We came up with a theme for our shoot, which was 'Something Blue'. The idea was to play off of the wedding tradition of having “Something Blue” on your wedding day. The goal of this styled shoot is to celebrate the color blue by creating an intimate monochromatic scene using various shades of soft and pale blues, accented with copper and touches of white. We photographed the styled shoot at University Golf Club (a gorgeous golf course club house) in University Park, IL.
