Who: Chloe of Chloe Jackman Photography
Why: Chloe Jackman does not have a small personality. And neither do her photos. So when you hire Chloe Jackman Photography, you hire your girl. She’ll make sure you eat, make sure you drink, make sure you breathe, and most importantly, she’ll make sure you’re having a damn good time while getting your photos taken (and even when you’re not). Oh, and she’ll absolutely rock your wedding pictures at the same time. Plus, since Chloe recently got engaged, she’s got a brand-new, more in-depth perspective on what it’s like to be someone who is planning a wedding.
Where/how much: Wedding collections begin at $4,000, which lands you seven hours of shooting, a second shooter, and your images at web resolution. The topmost package includes 8 to 10 hours of coverage, a second shooter, a $1500 credit for a 10 x 10 wedding album, engagement photos, a 12 x 12 Guestbook, and two 8 x 8 parent albums, for $7,300. Plus the first three APWers to book Chloe for a 2015 wedding will get 15% off their package and a free Honeymoon book (and everyone else gets 10% off, regardless of when or where you’re getting married).
So you know how every wedding photographer is like, “I’m a fly on the wall! You won’t even notice I’m there.” Chloe Jackman Photography is the opposite of that. She’s got a big bold personality, and she brings it to work everyday. She’s not for everyone and she knows it—which is part of her charm (I mean, the girl’s motto is “Be Bold, Be Bright, Be You”). In fact, the best way to tell you about Chloe is to let her do it herself:
I’m a little weird, a lot quirky, pretty sarcastic, hopelessly romantic, seem to have unlimited energy, and I’m told I’m pretty damn fun to be around on one of the most amazing days of your life… APWers get that on the best level. I am the photographer for a select few. My personality and camera are a package deal. I am not a wallflower photographer, I am “up in it.” From sorting out the details of the timeline, to telling you I think you need a five minute breather to boogying down on the dance floor to bawling my eyes out during your ceremony and speeches (oh—I love speeches): I am part of your story. I am a vibrant, colorful, enthusiastic, sarcastic spitfire who promises to make your photography experience exciting and painless (except for when I encourage you to do crazy acrobatic stunts!). It is important to me to make sure we get the posed family and wedding party photos at your fabulous event (because while they may seem like a pain in the butt I promise your grandmother will be thrilled to have them over her fireplace). But not to worry we will breeze through them and get right the fun stuff!
Chloe is also extremely into #TangibleMemories, as in real photos you can hold in your hands—not just digital files. In fact, Chloe Jackman Photography is rolling out new products in the next few months, and they’re all designed with giving you physical copies of your wedding photos in mind. She’ll be introducing Honeymoon photo books, which you can use to transform digital files floating around in a cloud to something that you can share with friends and family.
Chloe is proud of her diverse background, which has a lot to do with how much she loves traveling for weddings. She’s hungry to experience every new celebration, tradition, location, and adventure you can throw her way. From shooting a traditional Fijian wedding to shooting in Ohio, she’s excited to meet you and get to know all about what you love. Chloe is what I call a lifer: don’t be surprised if she’s still involved with you twenty-five years down the road, shooting the wedding of your kids. And you know what? Her clients and fellow vendors love it. Says recent clients Matt and Tamyra:
From my first phone call with Chloe I knew I had found my wedding photographer. She was a breeze to speak with, I basically signed with her before ever meeting her in person [because] she was so on point with understanding my vision that she just ran with it and never looked back. The day of the wedding she was everything I needed—supportive, encouraging, calming, took control so I didn’t have to, and made the photography portion a fun part of the day. With the photos that she and Justine took I will never forget a single element of my perfect day… perfect until the shuttle didn’t arrive and Chloe put on a second hat for the evening and became a sober driver for my guests! If you choose to work with Chloe you will not only be happy with your photos you will have also gained a friend and confidant. She puts her heart into her work and takes care of you all the way from start to finish.
If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who will be loud and fun and absolutely get you, then Chloe Jackman is the one for you. She’ll shoot anywhere you want to be, and you’ll love it.
CHLOE JACKMAN PHOTOGRAPHY is offering 15% and a free Honeymoon book for the first 3 couples to book a FULL WEDDING PACKAGE and 10% off for everyone else: get on it, APW!
