DREAM DAY WITH A DREAM TEAM!

Jessica is absolute best! From the moment we had our first meeting, we knew she was the photographer for us! She loves her job, loves her clients, and you can tell she puts her heart and soul into everything she does. She made us feel so comfortable in the engagement session and throughout the entire process! Our wedding day was spent dodging rain showers for pictures, but as a bride I had NO WORRIES! I trusted Jessica completely and she took AMAZING pictures, as always! I cannot say enough about Jessica and Erika (who got great pictures out of a rowdy group of groomsmen)! Thank you so much for being a part of our day and capturing images we will treasure for a life time!!

AMY + NICK

Truly Amazing!

Jessica & Erika could not have been more fantastic. Being from out of town, we set up a meeting to first introduce ourselves and meet Jessica (we were already a tad jaded after obsessing over the blog photos). From the minute we started talking, we were totally done! Her knowledge and professionalism, while also keeping a down to earth/positive attitude was fantastic. We were thrilled to be able to have her capture our memories. Great prep work, and meetings via phone got us to the wedding day. Fast forward to morning of, and we happen to experience a rather unique situation – power outage the morning prepping for the wedding on the top floor of the JW Marriot downtown. Jessica could not have stepped it up any better! Calling to inform me about the city grid being out, getting herself and equipment up to us, contacting our church and venue to ensure they were up and running with power- went well beyond what should be expected. She seriously took stress away from the situation by not only doing that, but then keeping all smiles for our crew as we zipped around to generators, service elevators, basements, etc while getting ready. I am so grateful, as I did not even realize what all was going on during the chaos, and after seeing what images and details she was able to capture in the midst of this – you would have no idea we were running all over the place. Super woman! She kept things together, my nieces smiling all day, which was great to watch:), while also staying calm, fun, & enjoyable! We had a blast! Of course, our pictures thus far have been simply a dream. We could not be happier with what we have to reflect back on our wedding day & we could not recommend a better experience all the way around. They are truly gifted and found their calling!

Thank you, Jessica & Erika- you made our wedding day an amazing experience, and we look forward to sharing our photos to family and friends for years to come. Now just need another excuse to have your capture more life moments! 🙂

Grateful Mother of the Groom

I just had to take a second to tell you how much we enjoyed meeting you, first of all, and most of all, what a consummate professional we found you to be. No exaggeration, and I know I told you a few times over the course of the rehearsal and wedding, how much I appreciated your style throughout. I cannot think of way, from my vantage point, how you or Erika, could have been more accommodating or on task. So, from a very grateful MOG and FOG, THANK YOU! Cannot wait to see the photos!

DONNA, MOTHER OF THE BRIDE

JESSICA…YOU WERE A DREAM!!!

INCREDIBLE

Jess, I cannot begin to thank you and Erika enough for everything you both did for our wedding. Working with you from day one has been an absolute blessing and so much fun! I felt 100% secure about the planning and all the details once you stepped on the scene to act not only as our talented photographer but our coordinator and friend through everything! Our snowy engagement shoot was a blast and I LOVE those photos! I can only imagine how amazing our wedding pictures will be. Having you with us ALL day was truly so much fun and your genuine care for what you do and who you work with made me feel absolutely at ease and cared for throughout the entire day. Thank you for answering all my phone calls throughout the planning process, clearing out your car at the last minute to help carpool when the limo didn’t show up, capturing some amazing moments and winning over our families, the bridal party and all our guests with your professionalism and enthusiasm! We are amazed by your work ethic and your joy for others. Truly thank you so much and EVERYONE would love working with Jess!

Alex Adam Scottish Rite Wedding

ALEX + ADAM

Amazing

There truly is no other word to describe Jessica. I had known (from friends’ weddings and from periodically stalking her blog) that her photographs were stunning and had always hoped that she might be available on my wedding day. What I didn’t realize was how invaluable she would be on our actual wedding day! From helping me put my veil on to keeping us on track and reminding us what photos we had discussed–she did soooo much to help our wedding day go smoothly! She and Erica were so professional and efficient, but also hilarious and so energetic. They kept us laughing and having a great time no matter what the weather was like! We can’t imagine our wedding day without Jessica and Erica. And I haven’t even mentioned the photographs! We received sooooo many compliments, and even though neither of us considers ourselves to be very photogenic, we can’t decide which photos to frame because each one looks like a work of art (and this is just the sneak peek!). Do yourself a huge favor and call Jessica Strickland (and then hope she’s available). You will be soooo happy that you did!!

MARY ELLEN & NATE

The Friend You Didn’t Know You Had

Jessica really is more than a photographer, she is the friend you didn’t you know had. Jessica made our wedding day less stressful and more memorable by helping us focus on what was important that day – our marriage. Having a seasoned photographer at our large wedding really helped things go smoothly and I never worried about anything for a minute. She handled situations that came up at our reception without letting me stress out about them (this is where all that wedding experience becomes priceless!). At one point during our reception, my dad started doing an air guitar solo with his childhood friends. She noticed I wasn’t on the floor to see the action, so she ran to find me and pull me onto the dance floor so I wouldn’t miss anything. Jessica knows where the memories are made, and she will make sure you are a part of them while she takes the pictures! She is a wonderfully talented photographer, well organized, and her assistant Erica did a great job. Her pictures are gorgeous and her work gets better with each wedding she shoots. Jessica Strickland Photography was the next call I made after booking our church and if I could plan our wedding all over again, I would not hesitate to book her a second time!

Sally, Mother of the Bride

Jessica! You deserve commendation and a lot of rest and relaxation after all you did to make Alex and Adam’s wedding a fabulous day. Thank you so much – I really appreciate all the behind the scenes planning and execution. I don’t think people realize how much you do to facilitate and enhance an event such as our daughter’s wedding.
You are truly the best! Thanks again!!

Kate Steve Indiana Historical Society Wedding

KATE + STEVE

Absolutely Beautiful

Steve and I are forever grateful for Jessica Strickland and her assistant Erika for helping us so much on the Big Day. Her talent is unbelievable, capturing color and personalities in such a beautiful, fun, and artistic way. Our wedding was luckily on a sunny day in the fall in Indianapolis, and friends of ours who were not in attendance thought we had gone to a tropical location, due to how well Jess captured the colors! Jess was so helpful from start to finish and made both Steve and me as well as our families and friends comfortable and at ease throughout the whole process. Her knowledge of the business not only helped make beautiful photos, but helped also in coordinating the day of events and helping us feel at ease with day of jitters. We couldn’t have done it without her! Thank you Jess so much again for all of your help–we will cherish these photos for forever! Love, Kate and Steve

Suzie Vince Mavris Wedding

SUZIE + VINCE

ABSOLUTE BEST IN THE BIZ

If you’re looking for a wedding photographer, seriously, LOOK NO FURTHER. Instead, just HOPE that Jessica is available for your date! She is the absolute BEST. We were lucky enough to take our engagement photos with her about a year before our wedding. Neither of us knew what we were doing and frankly we were both a little nervous. Jess was so great and made us feel totally comfortable – by the end of the shoot, we felt like we had known her forever. After seeing what an awesome job she did with the engagement pictures, we decided that we wanted her to not only capture moments from our wedding day but also our rehearsal dinner the night before and we are SO GLAD that she did. Jessica is obviously an amazing photographer, but she is also the definition of going ABOVE AND BEYOND. From giving us some awesome vendor recommendations to making sure we stayed on schedule the day of the wedding – she literally does it all. We assure you, you will NOT go wrong with Jess!

Couldn’t have asked for more

The entire experience with Jessica, from the first consultation to our wedding day, was first class, fun, and professional. She doesn’t just take photographs of your wedding, she captures the emotion of the day. The moment your father sees you for the first time, the look on your husbands face when you meet him at the alter, and the joy/ relief you feel on the dance floor. She’s in the moment, and she’s never in the way. Apart from the wedding coordinator, she’s conducting the order of events and trust me… you want her to!

Shelley Jordan Indianapolis Engagement Photographer

SHELLEY + JORDAN

Shelley & Jordan Engagement, 2014

When we started researching wedding photographers, Jessica was one of the first we came across – she set the bar VERY high for everyone else, and no one compared to her amazing style! We were so excited to book her based on her exceptional talent alone, but became even more excited once we met her for our engagement photo shoot. She is enthusiastic, genuine, sweet, and sooo much FUN to be around! We are beyond happy with our engagement photos! The quality of her photographs is incredible – she captured our personalities perfectly, and our families and friends noticed this immediately. Jess truly focused on our interaction as a couple, made us feel completely comfortable during the shoot, and exceeded our expectations. The words “I’m surprised at how much fun that was!” from Jordan after the multiple hours long shoot is a huge testament to how awesome she is! She is, like everyone else has said, the BEST!! We feel absolutely confident knowing the camera will be in her oh-so-fabulous hands on our wedding day, and we are so thankful we chose her to capture these special moments!

Gorgeous Photos

Jessica shot both our engagement session and our wedding. She couldn’t have captured the moments better. Her attention to detail and energy ensured she didn’t miss a thing. I have been told by several people that these may be the best wedding pictures that they have ever seen! The positive energy, vibrant color, and beautiful contrasts shed an accurate light on a wonderful day! She was great with all populations; bridal party, parents and family, and even the little kids. I highly recommend her for any photography needs. At one point in the evening, my husband said, “Wow, she’s everywhere!” She didn’t miss a beat and is a great person and photographer.

We STILL get compliments from friends and family (and bc of facebook, friends of friends) about our “amazing wedding photos.” You have been such a joy to work with from day one. I wish you much continued success in both your career and your family life! You are such a special person to us and we couldn’t have found a better photographer! I only hope we can work together again…maybe when we start a little family of our own. 🙂

I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer! Jess was there for every one of those special moments. She was always making sure to remind me that if there was something else I wanted her to capture, to just ask. Her photos speak for themselves! Her work is amazing and she is truly a gifted person!

CHRISSY+MICHAEL | ANN ARBOR WEDDING

Jessica is absolutely amazing!!

Jessica is absolutely amazing!! Hands down the best vendor I used for my entire wedding. A friend of mine used Jessica for her wedding in Indianapolis and after seeing her wedding photos I couldn’t find a single wedding photographer in Michigan that came close. I emailed Jess to see if she had any suggestions for photographers in Michigan and just happened to ask her if she traveled for weddings (just in case). Not only did she email me back with suggested photographers in my area, but she said she would be willing to travel to Ann Arbor for my wedding! Not only is Jess the worlds best wedding photographer (no joke, just look at her blog) but she made me feel completely at ease and absolutely beautiful on the day of my wedding (and I had never even met her before!). Even my husband raved about how awesome she was! There are no words for me to express how much better Jess made my wedding day. Not only was I absolutely sure that I would love my wedding photos but it’s impossible not to feel completely comfortable with her.

THERE ARE REALLY NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE HOW AMAZING JESSICA IS!

There are really no words to describe how amazing Jessica is! First of all, she is a legend in Indianapolis and every vendor you will ever speak to not only knows of her, but knows that she is the absolute best. She is professional and friendly, and incredibly efficient. She keeps everything on schedule while still making sure all requests are being met, and she can make any kid smile and laugh! She basically helped me plan out my entire itinerary and helped us avoid some problems ahead of time by adjusting the schedule. She is just amazing! Chandra & Kevin

she truly is the best!

Just as everyone has said on here… Jessica is the BEST. I am sure that she hears this all of the time, but she truly is the best. If you decide to have her as a part of your team for your big day you will not be disappointed. We used her for our engagement photos and our wedding. She is so friendly and kind and her photos are so natural and clean. Not only does she capture amazing moments that make for fantastic photos, she also helped me throughout the day getting to where I needed to be, fixed my hair and dress, and helped out wherever she was needed. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!!!

Sarah, 2010 Bride

Jessica was AMAZING! We had a wonderful time getting our pictures taken and the final result was out of this world. Jessica is extremely easy and fun to work with and she really has a way of making the bride (and everyone else for that matter) feel relaxed and comfortable while getting their pictures taken. Her prices seem high when you first look at them, but it is totally worth it when you get your pictures and album back! I highly recommend Jessica for wedding photos, engagement photos, and really any kind of photos you need!

Lindsey, 2012 Bride

We honestly could not have asked for a better photographer. Jessica is truly one of the sweetest and most genuine people I have ever met. She made our day seem so special and unique, which is impressive since she’s shot over 600 weddings. We were so satisfied with our pictures and she made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera because she’s so fun and so talented at what she does. She was definitely a splurge within my budget but I was so glad that we booked her because she was worth every penny! 🙂

Jessica Strickland is absolutely an amazing photographer!!

Jessica Strickland is absolutely an amazing photographer and a wonderful person to have with you on your wedding day. I enjoyed my engagement shoot and felt comfortable and confident that she would capture the best moments of our special day. We looked very natural in our pictures, and her presence helped keep me calm during various wedding crises on the day of the event. She even helped bustle my dress! I definitely recommend her!!!

Katie, 2013 Bride

Oh, what a day our wedding was! Extensive flooding reduced our guest count by 20% and made it a real challenge for those who did finally make it – including Jessica! She got rerouted due to flooded/closed roads five or six times first thing that morning but kept trying (and kept me informed!). She also worked with me to figure out photo alternatives (given the biting cold, gale force winds, and general saturation around the venue – which was meant to be OUTDOORS! lol). She was so relaxed and collected; it was a great help to me! 

And once the wedding started, she and her other photographer, Erica, just faded into the background, only turning back up to get specific shots and/or questions answered. After all the hustle and bustle of the morning, it was nice to just enjoy the whole thing without having to worry about who was where when and what we needed to not forget! 

And you just can’t beat the quality of her photos. That just goes without saying. Amazing, amazing, amazing. It was the largest part of our budget and worth every penny. At the end of the day, you have your rings, your photos, and each other. Make those things the best things! 😉blog328

Cat, Mother of the Bride, 2014

I had heard Jessica wad the best photographer in Indianapolis, so I hastened to book her as soon as I knew my daughter was to be married here. I’m so glad I did. You definitely get what you pay for in this case. She is pleasant, organized, unobtrusive, yet on every type of shot: posed or candid. She watches every situation carefully to catch real life and real interactions happening. I could not believe how she didn’t miss anything! No wonder Jessica is a legend in Indianapolis. Very professional, and a genuinely kind human being. Everyone just loved her!

Jessica, I just can’t stop looking at these photos!  I bet I look at them 10x a day.  Great shots and everyone feels the same way!  Jessica we hired a photographer and we got so much more…………A photographer, a caring person who immerses themselves into the entire event and a friend! Thank you soo much!!

Jessica is by far the most amazing person to work with…she doesn’t give herself enough credit but she made this shoot so much fun!! We had no idea where the time went, not to mention the quality of the photos…words can’t say how thankful we are and so glad we chose you!
