Jeremy is great. Our engagement photos was my first photo shoot and he made me feel so comfortable, he helped us with directions which was very helpful and got the job done quick....
On our wedding day he did and amazing job, unfortunately it was pouring and we could not do the outdoor session that was planned but he made it work, and he captured all the things that was important for us. We will keep going with him for future sessions!
Jeremy captured intimate, funny, warm, and even awkward moments from our wedding beautifully. He is incredibly helpful, and gives really good advice about what will work, putting a...
timeline together, and knowing when an impromptu moment/area is great to snap a pic. He made sure to meet with us in person to understand who we are, our family dynamics, and what we really wanted to capture during the day. It was great working with him. Our wedding photos really tell the story of our wedding day, and shows everyone's personalities. We love them :)
Alice did our engagement photos, which were so unique and beautiful. She does a great job of capturing the essence of us as a couple. Alice and Braxton shot the photos for our wedd...
ing as well. I cannot say speak highly of them enough. Our wedding photos turned out so gorgeous!!! They are so stunning! We keep getting compliments on them. Cannot recommend enough. Alice is also such a pleasure to work with. You will not be disappointed!
I worked with Alice F from Jeremy Lawson photography for my wedding and she did a spectacular job. She captured so many candid moments and beautiful unique shots. I am very impres...
sed and recommend her to anyone for an affordable, attentive, and creative photographer.
Braxton and Alice at Jeremy Lawson Photography could not have made capturing our wedding day any easier. They made being in front of the camera feel natural and fun. The pictures w...
e got back were beautiful and they caught all the small moments in between shots. When you know the photographers will be with you the entire day, you want people who make you feel comfortable and also pump you up when you need it. They kept the energy up in front and behind the camera and we could not have asked for a better experience.
We are so glad that we selected Alice from Jeremy Lawson Photography to photograph our October 20, 2018, wedding at Carnivale. Alice and her assistant, Jordan, were a pleasure to w...
ork with from start to finish. And the photos turned out amazing due to their creativity, talent and attention to detail. Everyone is commenting on how beautifully Alice and Jordan captured the happy emotions of the event to the vibrant colors of the venue. Alice is very organized. She met with us a couple of times before the wedding to learn about our personalities and desires for the day. She also scoped out the venue ahead of time and stayed a bit longer than required to get a couple last-minute shots. I don't like being the center of attention and Alice and Jordan blended right in to the point that we had no idea that they were even there taking photos of us throughout the wedding and reception. JLP photography was recommended to me by a couple friends and by another established wedding photographer. I would definitely recommend that you use Alice from JLP for your wedding day!
Alice Feldt from Jeremy Lawson Photography did an outstanding job photographing our wedding. She has a wonderful ability to capture moments and personality with her pictures. She w...
as very accommodating and easy to work with and she had great ideas about how to take pictures that highlighted the natural beauty of our wedding location. We would highly recommend working with her!.
We worked with Alice Feldt through Jeremy Lawson Photography for our wedding in October 2018 and had an incredible experience. From start to finish, Alice was hands-on, professiona...
l, and exceptionally creative. She did a fantastic job managing our concerns re: people, places, and things on our wedding day and captured incredible details and action shots throughout the day. Braxton Black was our second shooter and his relationship with Alice made for seamless and fun photo shoots. They kept us laughing and engaged during designated picture times, and embedded themselves into our ceremony, hora, and dance floor sets to catch organic emotion without disruption. We could not recommend them more highly!
Alice Feldt shot our engagement photos in Chicago, wedding in Wisconsin and party in Chicago, and she was wonderful. If you're looking for a journalistic approach instead of those ...
awkward posed photos, Alice is the right photographer for you. She is clearly passionate about her craft. This was evidenced by the amount of prep time she put into each photo shoot. Alice canvassed our neighborhood the week before our engagement photos for the perfect spots and even drove up to Wisconsin the night before our wedding to make sure we had beautiful scenery for our photos. Alice was organized, professional, blended in well (we barely noticed her most of the time!) and, most importantly, provided us with beautiful photos that captured our happiest moments. We highly recommend her for your special event.
We loved working with Jeremy and Braxton for our wedding. Jeremy is so creative and spontaneous, and nothing ever feels posed or contrived with him. Every photo is truly unique!

y husband and I did the first look just the two of us and ran around Chicago with Jeremy and Braxton before our wedding. It was so much fun and a great way to loosen up before the ceremony. If you’re looking for an adventurous, creative photographer, Jeremy is the one for you!
We had Braxton as our wedding photographer. He was super fun to work with and even went out of his way to schedule an extra make-up session for our engagement photos after our firs...
t session got rained out. Definitely looking forward to working with Braxton and JLP in the future!
Jeremy Lawson is an amazing photographer who knows how to take amazing photos and make everyone feel comfortable and have fun! We worked with him for our wedding and have taken adv...
antage of his backyard sessions for family portraits. He's remarkable and knows how to get the right pictures quickly! I couldn't recommend him more, you won't be disappointed!
Jeremy Lawson is AMAZING! His work is breathtaking and his candid shots is fabulous! He is very organized and so professional. We loved working with him!
Braxton and Alice are the best at what they do. We fell in love with Braxton's work during our engagement pictures. He and Alice are so incredibly easy to work with. They kept us o...
n schedule and remembered specific pictures we wanted taken and made sure to get them before the night was over. I am beyond impressed with the quality of their work and cannot wait to use them again for future pictures!
For our wedding day, we had the amazing duo of Braxton and Alice as our photographers. From the very first time my husband and I met Braxton during our engagement photo session, we...
knew we had chosen a very talented, kind and humble artist. Braxton’s style of photography is exactly what we were looking for and his work is impeccable. Our photos are amazing and the moments that Braxton and Alice captured we will remember forever. We highly recommend Braxton and Alice to every bride and groom that wants unique, artistic and memorable photos.
Jeremy is amazing and everything we were looking for in a photographer. We love his style and ideas and couldn't have asked for more. Book Jeremy if he's available on your day. You...
won't regret it.
My husband and I cannot recommend Jeremy highly enough. His cost might seem expensive, but keep in mind that *every* photo he gives you has been touched up (unlike other photograp...
hers) and is yours to own. And they'll have Jeremy's personal touch, which make them stand out from other (ordinary) wedding photos. His package includes an engagement photo session, which Jeremy uses to get to know you as a couple. He gives you the photos, so you can build your own book at a cheap price or reproduce them in any way you want. We used our engagement photos to build a guest book for the wedding, and went through a completely independent photo book creator. Jeremy makes the whole process easy, and FUN. He is completely professional. He takes amazingly beautiful and fun photos. His experience makes it easy. The photos are the main thing that will last after your wedding day. It's worth it!
Only thing I could say is make him your photographer!! He was sooo great!!
I do not even know where to start when describing the work Jeremy did. Amazing, creative, innovative, breathtaking, and resourceful!
We selected Jeremy purely based on the en...
ergy he brought to our first introduction meeting. There was no messing around – within 5 minutes of meeting us and learning about our style he had come up with the perfect “first look” idea for us and had spit out unique locations for photos around Chicago. We did not want posed shots on the day of our wedding and his photojournalistic style ensured that what we actually got were one-of-a-kind images tailored to the feel of our wedding.
Jeremy was able to work with us to figure out our best angles and make us feel comfortable in front of the camera. He also had great skill in politely handling photo requests from our guests that were not on our/his shot list. He was quick to take any photos that guests requested and move on to continue capturing candid moments from our reception. Our guests raved about how friendly he was as he tried to capture a combination of mostly candid shots without interrupting his fun. He brought a second shooter and we received the same compliments about her.
Jeremy sent us about 40 teaser photos via his blog about 5 weeks after the wedding, and followed up with the entire edited set less than 2 months after the wedding, which was a quick turnaround. He uploads his photos to pictage.com so that guests can easily purchase shots.
Please feel free to message me any specific questions about Jeremy or what it was like to work with him. He worked very well with our wedding planner and videographer. We had high expectations based on his previous work and he absolutely exceeded them. I would recommend Jeremy for any wedding or big event, and hope that we have a reason to work with him again in the future.
Jeremy is fab and so was his assistant Leah. We did engagement photos with him so we knew what the wedding day would be like. I myself forgot some of the crucial pics I wanted to...
get, but Jeremy was all over everything we had discussed and was quick and organized, not to mention fun.
I am currently waiting on the full website of images from my wedding, but have gotten a few which have been posted on Jeremy's website. Starting with the Engagement pictures we ha...
ve been pleased and the images that have been posed on Jeremy's blog have been nothing short of WONDERFUL!!
I can say that working with Jeremy was such a pleasure. He is very conscious of the fact that it is your day and you want everything PERFECT. Pictures were always the #1 priority, not making sure that he got a chance to eat or taking a break for any reason at all. Jeremy was aways were the action was.
Many of my family and friends made comments through the day as well as after the wedding that Jeremy was great. Paying attention to detail and always very kind and willing to take whatever pictures were desired.
I had a wonderful experience working with Jeremy and would and have recommended him already.
Jeremy not only did magnificent work on our wedding day, but he was the easiest most organized professional ever. He has the creativity that anyone could ask for, but he also bring...
s a lot of other things to the table. He's super friendly, had great and useful tips throughout the day, and kept everything upbeat and on schedule. :) We absolutely loved working with him and Jenny Elwick for our Napa/Sonoma wedding!
Awesome! He's great and so is his work. One of the first vendors I booked because his reputation was so positive. Glad I booked him early! Would have been so sad if he would have b...
een booked. Our engagement photos turned out wonderful, and I'm sure our wedding photos will be just as good!
Jeremy was our photographer for our engagement photos and our August wedding at A New Leaf. Jeremy was absolutely wonderful…simply stated. When we first met with Jeremy we knew we ...
wanted him to be our photographer. We wanted a photographer that would let us be ourselves and laugh and smile. We could tell from our meeting with Jeremy and by looking at his work that he was perfect for us. When we met with Jeremy for our engagement photos, we told him how it was our first time being professionally photographed and he made it simple for us and fun. We spend the day driving around and exploring all these different areas of Chicago for our photos. Jeremy knew where to go and how to make simple Chicago landscapes look beautiful in our pictures.
For our wedding day, Jeremy was great. For the first meeting of bride and groom, he had this great idea of us meeting in the middle of Michigan Avenue and that was truly unforgettable. For the rest of the day, he always made sure I was picture perfect by fixing my hair or dress. All of the guests loved him and said how great of a photographer he was. We highly recommend Jeremy for your wedding photography…or for any photography for that matter! We will be booking our “Trash the Dress” photography session with Jeremy and we can’t wait for it!
Jeremy was really a joy to have there with us on our day - he's discreet and uber professional. He also takes incredible pictures. They're fun, creative and totally match our sty...
le. I know we'll treasure ours for years to come!
I don't think I can praise Jeremy enough. One of my friends used him at her wedding and when I saw her pictures I knew I had met my match. I planned the date of my wedding around w...
hether or not Jeremy was available. He is such a talented photographer. He has such an eye for photography and makes everyone he photograph look great.
He captured so many real moments at my wedding. When going through my pictures I can actually relive each moment.
I wish I could give him more than 5 stars! Please go check out his website and see for yourself. You will not be disappointed with the results. He is worth every penny!!!
