Jennifer Ballard Photography

Jennifer (and Nastassa) were so wonderful to work with. From the moment I found out Jen was available, we instantly connected. She was interesting, professional, confident and flexible. Her work is outstanding and she is so pleasant to deal with. On our wedding day she was fast, efficient and kind. Her assistant Nastassa was so wonderful and fun to work with. Our family and friends were delighted to have them, they fit in perfectly with the party. I am so excited to work with Jen in the future, and I highly recommend her work to all of my friends.

My husband and I were so lucky to have had Jen photograph our wedding day. Not only does she take incredibly beautiful photos but her calm, laid back personality make her an absolute joy to work with – especially on a day that can be very stressful. Jen has such an amazing ability of capturing all those special moments without you even knowing she’s there at all. This took away the pressure of always feeling the need to pose, allowing us to just relax and really enjoy the day. We also had the misfortune of rain (and a lot of it) but this didn’t for a second stop us or Jen from getting a little wet and having some fun. I even had a few members of our bridal party tell me what a great time they had taking photos. Now if that isn’t a reflection of an incredibly talented photographer than I don’t know what is.

In the end, the photos turned out beautifully and Jen was able to capture the real essence of our day without being dampened by the unpredictable weather. Without hesitation we would recommend Jen to anyone looking to hire a professional photographer.

What can I say about Jennifer Ballard Photography?...
I'll start by stating that Jennifers' incredible passion and professionalism really shines through her work. From our very first meeting with Jennifer, Jorge and I knew she was "the one". She connected with us instantly, and put us at ease immediately. I could not be more thrilled with the gorgeous, colorful memories that Jennifer has captured from our special "Mexican Fiesta" wedding this past August. She was soo helpful, and she really makes sure you are taken care of. I would most definately recommend her services to anyone who wants to cherish their wedding day. Photography was one thing that my husband and I did not want to compromise, and we definately made the right choice with Jennifer Ballard Photography. Just meet with her and you'll know. A truly kindred spirit.

Jennifer was very professional, organized, easy going and a pleasure to work with. She was able to capture every little detail at the wedding and we LOVE how the pictures turned out!! :)

We spent a year carefully crafting a day that would pass by in a flash! Thank you Jennifer for both your artistic eye and thoughtfulness that you demonstrated through your incredible attention to detail.

Your photographs keep the whirlwind of emotion from that day alive! I've looked through them so many times - I just can’t get enough! Each time I see new details you captured with your camera. Each time they bring forward warm emotions. I see a photo of the hair pin sent as an engagement gift from a friend in England, a photo of my mom and mother-in-law chatting and laughing over tea while I have my hair and make-up done, and the hands of 5 bridesmaids and my mom holding my dress snug on my back for the final zip up. These are small moments; little details that together form a collection of memories that make up a very special day in our lives. These are small moments and details that are dear to me but might have seemed trivial to others. Thank you for noticing them and capturing them so eloquently.

I have enjoyed sharing with others the many candid moments of friends and family laughing, crying, and getting groovy on the dance floor. Being able to share these moments, not only with guests that were able to travel to our wedding, but also with friends that were not able to make the journey to our destination wedding on Pender Island has been a fun adventure in itself!

There are thousands of wedding photographers out there but not all photographers are created equal. Trusting Jennifer to capture the memories of our wedding through her lens was hands down one of the easiest and best decisions we made regarding our wedding. You have an artistic flare, an eye for detail, a calm demeanour, and a wonderful sense of humour. I look forward to having you capture more joyous moments in our lives. I imagine there will be a ‘Nicole & Brad 2.0’ at some point.

Jennifer was so friendly and professional right from the first time we met. She was upfront about cost and how she works so there were no hidden 'suprises' in the end. She made us feel very comfortable and guided us with out being 'bossy'. All of our wedding party enjoyed working with her and her assistant because they were such fun girls!

We love our wedding photos, many of the people we've shown them to comment that they could be in a magazine. Jennifer is so creative and captures a lot of candid moments which is really special.

She is very organized and makes sure she gets in the shots you want, which is great for family photos. We also recieved our thank you cards and wedding album quite quickly, which is nice too!

I would highly recommend Jennifer Ballard as you wedding photographer.

I would highly recommend Jennifer Ballard without a moment of hesitation! She was absolutely professional from start to finish and made everyone feel relaxed and comfortable for the entire day. Her talent and creativity captured every moment to perfection! Looking through the photos afterwards was just like going back in time to the happiest day of our lives--it brought many smiles, laughs, and tears to our eyes. The end product was a stunning collection of artistic, beautiful, and creative shots. She made our wedding day perfect!

Jen was professional, enthusiastic and flexible with all the various unknowns that surrounded our wedding. Above that the photos are amazing and she was incredibly responsive to all questions, requests and photo finishing. We can't recommend her enough.

My pictures are beautiful. I've received so many comments that my pictures look like something out of a magazine! Jennifer was very professional. She worked so hard on my wedding day to capture all the little details and great moments.

Jennifer is not only an amazing photographer, she is also a phenomenal person to work with. She took both our engagement photos and our wedding photos and both turned out stunning! I would highly recommend the engagement shoot before the wedding - we were able to get some amazing photos (with our cat no less!) and it was a ton of fun.

Jennifer is a consummate professional - she responds to emails promptly, delivers wonderful photos and obviously reading the other reviews, delivers every time. Plus she's creative and doesn't deliver the cookie-cutter shots, but instead offers more memorable photos.

I mean, the photos she took of our wedding ended up being featured by Style Me Pretty! You don't get much more awesome than that. Thanks again Jennifer - top notch!!

We are eternally grateful to Jennifer for the photos she took at our wedding. When we flip through our album, we feel like we're reliving the day (which flies by in a flash no matter how hard you try to savour the moment). For our friends and family who couldn't be with us on our wedding day, the photos were the next best thing because Jennifer captured all of the special moments from start to finish.

A friend recommended Jennifer to us, and when we looked at her portfolio, we loved the style of her photos, very natural and artistic. The first time we met her, we could tell she had the personality we were looking for. We wanted our guests to feel comfortable around the photographer, because most people (including us) weren't used to being in front of a camera. We had regular contact in the time leading up to the wedding and since the big day, she has helped us choose our prints and design our thank-you cards.

We cannot recommend Jennifer highly enough. She is a dedicated photographer who is passionate about her work, and we will treasure her photos forever!

Jennifer was a joy to work with. She met with my husband and myself a few times before the big day to discuss the package we were interested in and what sort of look we wanted. On the big day Jennifer and her assistant were super easy to work with; they were fun but professional, and the photos turned out beautifully. I really value the "un-posed" photos that she took because they capture the spirit of the whole day. I found that once I booked Jennifer as our photographer I never worried about photography for the wedding again; she does what she says she's going to do when she says she's going to do it with a great attitude, great photographic talent, and reasonable prices. What more could you ask for?

All I have to say is Jennifer was fantastic!! I would reco her in a heartbeat!

We first found Jen through her advertisement on facebook for engagement photos. Although I was a little hesitant to start spending money on photos before we had even set a wedding date the photos posted on her website absolutely won me over and I contacted her immediately to have engagement photos done for my fiance and I.

Unfortunately, on the date we had booked for our outdoor photos it had rained all day, but Jen was super flexible and able to book us in for the next day AND waited for us patiently that day (because I was running late.)

At our first meeting she was very pleasant, cheery and helpful! She'd already scouted the area and had a few suggestions for where we could take photos.

We then booked her for our wedding, which she all the way travelled to Ottawa for. Throughout the planning she was always very helpful, easy to get in touch with, and prompt with her email replies.

The overall package we received for our wedding was wonderful and well worth any cost we'd agreed to. We were happy to have her at our wedding as a guest and a vendor!

We also overall find she has a great eye for colour and light balance, as well as composition with her photos!

I've highly recommended her to several brides-to-be, and look forward to booking her to photograph many more milestones in our lives!

Working with Jennifer was fantastic. I could always depend on her to quickly reply to my emails and she calmly and professionally adapted to my schedule. Her beautiful pictures not only captured the important moments of my wedding day, but the tone of the event. But it was the little things that made working with her a joy: She cleverly adapted my engagement photos into a beautiful guest-book for my wedding. And when I told her that my wedding was a month away and I still didn't have a makeup artist, she helped me find exactly what I was looking for!

Jennifer went above and beyond, and I will always appreciate her contribution to my wedding day!

Jennifer traveled from T.O to Stayner for our wedding with no complaints...just pure excitement... she was a very happy and easy going addition to our wedding... she captured all the greatest moments of our special day and she did so professionally. She was very creative and also took suggestion of both the groom and myself and incorporated them into her own style. We are both very pleased to have had such a talented photographer at our wedding and would use her again anyday !

We are so happy we chose Jennifer as our photographer. So many of our guests had nothing but amazing things to say about Jennifer. There was a general consensus that her professionalism, candor, and her overall approach made people feel comfortable and at ease. Jennifer came up with a well balanced mix of creative shots along with family photos. We were thrilled with the outcome. Looking at the portfolio from our wedding brought to life so much emotion and happiness from the day that will be sure to last a lifetime.

Thanks Jen!

Jennifer is the most professional and respectful photographer that we have ever had the pleasure of knowing. We went to Jennifer with a budget and requests for what we wanted our package to consist of. We were able to work around our 'needs' and come full circle with what we wanted.

Jennifer is very passionate about her work and it shows. Her style of photography adapts to the personalities of her subjects. She is an amazing photographer. We are very pleased with how our pictures and coffee table book turned out. Thank you :)

Jennifer is by far the best photographer I have ever worked with. Her professionalism and artistic creativity make her a absolute pleasure. She has a very positive and pleasant attitude, and was so accommodating to our requests. By far one of my top 3 vendors!

Jennifer was a very professional photographer, who went above and beyond! She knew our price range and thought of solutions so we could have the best wedding photography possible. She had many great ideas of different shots, and was accommodating of the shots we wanted. Thanks, Jennifer!

Jennifer was very professional with her work.For a person who was photographing a Srilankan tamil wedding for the first time she did a great job.Will definitely recommend her to other people.She has lots of ideas on how to photograph a natural picture.

Julio and I can not say enough about how happy we are that we chose Jennifer to do our wedding photography. She made us feel so relaxed during both our engagement photos and our wedding photos, and she was very professional during all of our meetings and on our wedding day. We will definitely recommend Jennifer to our family and friends. We are very grateful to her for the wonderful photos we have of our wedding day!

Simon and I Loved working with Jennifer. She was very professional and Organized with meeting before the wedding and during the wedding time! I love how easy going she was and also took our suggestion when taking photos. Her goal was to be there for you. She was Fun, energic (even when it was raining)! I would suggest her to all my friends and family! Thanks for a great time Jennifer!!

My husband and I were extremely pleased with the service, professionalism, flexibility and quality of photos that were received following our destination wedding in Mexico. Jennifer was extremely accommodating and patient with all guests and was open to any photo suggestions we wished to be included in the session. We would both highly recommend Jennifer to future couples looking for a tremendous wedding day photo shoot.

Jennifer did the photos for our wedding last year and we are still blown away with how fantastic they turned out. She has a way to make everyone feel extremely comfortable around her and so is able to capture really natural looking shots. She listened carefully to what we had in mind and also gave us a ton of options and ideas for types of shots to take. We're not necessarily big fans of traditional posed wedding photos so we really love Jennifer's artistic style. And she was able to combine this with some more tasteful set up shots to keep the families happy.

All our interactions with her were extremely professional and the turnaround time was great. It seems like we had samples of all the photos almost immediately.

Even though we didn't think we would be photo album people, the book we ordered is absolutely gorgeous and looks like something you would find in an art store. It is a great way to be able to show friends and family our wedding photos.

Our only regret is that we didn't get Jennifer to do our engagement photos as well.

I had the pleasure of working at the same wedding as Jennifer. I found her to be personable,professional and quite knowledgable. I have forwarded her information to my clients who were in need of a wedding photographer. I have met a lot of photographers over the past 20 years and she is one of the best

Hope to work with again with you soon
