Jennifer Mayo Studios

Jennifer and I accidentally ran into each other while at a bridal show and I knew she was the perfect photographer for the job. My husband being a photography connoisseur sincerely appreciated her artist approach compared to the run of the mill wedding photographers found in southwest Michigan. Her team was fantastic as we used them for our engagement session and Mod Photobooth at our event. Her teams professionalism and attention to detail were unmatchable and greatly appreciated. We highly recommend Jennifer or Jami as they were both excellent photographers that really captured our big day.

From the moment I laid eyes on Jennifer's photos and then sat down and talked with her, I knew we had to have her for our big day. She is an amazing photographer with a keen eye for detail. She braved the cold and wind with us to make sure we got the shots we wanted. The pictures turned out amazingly and I couldn't be any happier with them! I have had countless numbers of complements on the photos and would definitely recommend Jennifer Mayo Studious!

Jennifer is wonderful to work with and the quality of her photography speaks for itself. Jennifer's quiet personality immediately puts everyone around her at ease so she can capture people in their natural state. Jennifer has lots of experience with weddings at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart and she knew how to work with the tight timeline and prioritize certain family shots on the altar. Jennifer was one of my favorite vendors during the entire planning process. She's very efficient and usually responds to phone calls and emails within the same day. My husband and I were extremely pleased with the proofs from our wedding. Our family and friends were also impressed by the results. I would definitely recommend Jennifer if you are looking great service and high quality photography.

Jennifer shot our wedding in Bay Harbor this year and did the most amazing job. We couldn't have asked for more! Our photographer was a priority, so we were willing to spend more than most. Jennifer's work is professional, and she was a doll to work with. If you are looking for a good mix of traditional and a photojournalistic style, Jennifer is the one you're looking for!

We had a September wedding in St Joseph, MI and a great experience with Melissa from Jennifer Mayo Studios! Melissa and her two assistants took us to the beach and around downtown St Joseph to take pictures in places we never would have dreamt would turn out so well. We also really appreciated them keeping us up to date on the Michigan v ND football score! :) Thanks to Melissa and Jennifer Mayo Studios for capturing the great memories of our wedding day!

Jennifer and JM Studios did a fantastic job photographing our wedding. I knew that the photography was very important to me so I wanted to select a vendor that would provide creative photos that would well preserve the day for us. Jennifer did that and more. We are very please with her photo-journalistic approach. She and her assistant were great to work with - they blended into the day and went with the flow. We never felt rushed or pushed by her needs. They had fun with us and overall it was a great experience. We love the proofs we've seen and have had many comments on how they are the most beautiful wedding photos our guests have seen. Jennifer and JM Studios are on facebook so she actually posted some of our photos on her page so we got to see a sneak peek while we were still on our honeymoon! It was terrific! I can't wait to pick our favorites and have our album designed (which Jennifer does for us and they are beautiful!)

Of all the wedding decisions we had to make, the photographer was definitely one of the most important ones. As someone who deals with photographers for a living, I knew (as did my husband) that I was going to be very picky about who we hired. It was critical to me to have someone who was reliable and trustworthy, who had a stellar body of work that was fresh and unexpected, and who could capture our special day using a mix of traditional and journalistic style photography. So when I met with Jennifer Mayo (so nice), saw her portfolio (dreamy) and learned of her credentials (degree from a great school), I knew right away she was the one I wanted to work with. Plus she had photographed our wedding venue on numerous occasions, so she was very familiar with the layout. Simply put, she got it. My husband and I were married at the Round Barn Winery in Baroda, MI. The day of our wedding, Jennifer and her assistant were true professionals. Not only were they easy going and friendly, they were also very respectful of ?not getting in the way? (a mandate per the minister, but just during the ceremony). This didn't faze them ? they still managed to capture the whole ceremony and beautifully so. Jennifer also had great suggestions for where to photograph the formal shots because she was very familiar with the grounds. And while we had her booked for only so many hours, she stayed to make sure she had captured everything we wanted. After it was all over, I can't tell you how excited I was to see the proofs. I was like a kid on Christmas morning when I got the email they were available online. And after pouring over all of them, I was more than pleased with the result. Way, way more than pleased. More like, ecstatic. The details, the candid moments, the formal shots... it's amazing what a great eye can see through a lens. Assembling the album was a bit challenging as that meant having to choose among so many beautiful images. But Jennifer was helpful and accommodating ? thank goodness too, since it took me 6 months to make my selections! So the question on everyone's minds is, would we refer Jennifer to anyone looking for a wedding photographer? Absolutely. And not just for a wedding, but any special event worth remembering. (We look forward to seeing her again when our first little one comes around!) Without question our wedding memories will fade after 10, 20 or however many years, but thankfully all we have to do is open up our album and look at the gorgeous images for a refresher of our special day.

Jennifer's pictures have a fresh, candid look to them. If you enjoy a journalistic, rather than posed, style and budget is not a problem then Jennifer would be perfect for you. She is also very flexible about arranging pre-ceremony or post-ceremony pictures and is willing to try a variety of locations. I also really appreciated that she was very discrete during the ceremony and reception and got wonderful pictures with being intrusive. However, make sure that you reserve her services well before your wedding date because she is usually booked.

Jennifer and her team take outstanding pictures. They are also very organized and very responsive -- which was especially helpful for us since we were planning our wedding from out of town. Make sure you book well in advance, though, since they fill up quickly!

Jennifer was the photographer for a wedding we recently had at The Silo and her pictures were simply amazing! She captured every moment for the bride and groom as well as the beauty of the venue, and was wonderful to work with! I would highly recommend Jennifer Mayo Studios to others.
