Jaclyn was absolutely AMAZING! Our first experience with her was when she took our engagement photos. I was so nervous since I am camera shy but she made us feel so comfortable and made it so fun! She also did our wedding photos, and again it was another amazing experience. She captured our day perfectly and the photos came out better than I could’ve ever imagined. She is professional, fun, great at communicating, extremely talented, and she loves what she does and makes her clients feel so special. I can’t say enough great things about Jaclyn!

Jaclyn was a joy to work with! She took care to ensure my husband and I were both comfortable during our engagement session and wedding day, and was very efficient with our tight timeline. I love the details she captured and am grateful to have had a photographer who understands how special and important the day was for us. Thank you, Jaclyn!

“My husband and I continue to share how much we both enjoyed Jaclyn’s professionalism the day of our wedding as well as the quality of our pictures. Jaclyn was flexible to with our special and specific wedding day requests, well thoughts out on our time getting to know prior to our big day, and we are in awe of the images. Beautiful! We both love seeing our wedding day captured in personal, high quality, professional prints. We recommend 10/10! Thank you for the wonderful preservation of our wedding day!”

Jaclyn was a dream to work with, sweet and also professional. She was creative with our engagement photos, on a chilly day. And the wedding day she kept us on schedule, photographing all the special times of our day. Both engagement and wedding photos are beautiful, and they bring back all the memories when looking at them. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

Jaclyn was awesome. She has such a beautiful story telling style. I'm so glad we chose her to capture our wedding day.

Jaxlens photography is AMAZING! Jaclyn did such an amazing job with our engagement photos! She helped my husband and I relax and just have fun during our photoshoot in Joshua Tree. She perfectly captured our adventurous spirit and the results were absolutely stunning!

We did a couples shoot with her and it was SO FUN! We felt so comfortable during the entire shoot and were able to open up and genuinely smile and laugh. She was fantastic with giving us tips and helping us to position ourselves in the most flattering and comfortable poses. With all that being said the photos were AMAZING! We could not have asked for more!
