  • What was your favorite wedding photo? To pick one photo is very difficult as Jason captured so many wonderful moments. Each one is so special in it's own way. We had a terrible time picking photos for albums since there were so many great ones.
  • How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? Jason's posed shots before the wedding were so creative. The ones during the coctail hour were great with great scenery as we got married outdoors with the desert as a backdrop.
  • What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? Jason was my knight in shining armor. You see, we had hired another photographer. We did an engagement session with him. The photos were horrible. We did them again. Once again they were horrible. The photographer was rude when we discussed them. At that point I walked out of his studio; loosing my deposit. I found Jason by accident...Actually, I beleive nothing happens by accident. He was just meant to be the one to come into my life and take our photos, capture our memories and that he did. Jim and I are in our late 40's and this was a second wedding for each of us. Our package included a Coffee table book, and an album for my parents. We did order a few extras for the bridal party. No engagement session as we were running out of time. Jason is someone we will keep close in our hearts and will never hesitate to recommend for creative wedding photos or just a studio sitting.
  • How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? Jason was incredible. Granted there were only 100 people...but he made it a point to learn names of people and use there names when posing them. It was shocking when he was able to capture a photo of both sides of the family with Aunts,cousins, neices, etc. and have everyone looking at him, eyes open and smiling. Something that usually doesn't happen. :)

  • What was your favorite wedding photo? Jason from Illume Photography captured so many priceless moments from my wedding. There were so many beautiful shots, but my favorite one is of my husband & I standing by a lake, and the focus is on our reflection in the lake. Its absolutly breathtaking.
  • How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? They blended into the party. They were great with posed pictures, but they also knew that I perferred action shots. They captured moments I had forgotten about. Their photos told stories, not only my husband & my story, but our guests as well.
  • What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? There was an engagment session included, as well as a coffee table book, and a parents coffee table book.
  • How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? They were friendly, didn't waste time, and made everyone feel important.

  • What was your favorite wedding photo? There are many capturing spontaneous expressions.
  • How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? The photographer managed to mingle through to capture moments without the expense of interruption. During posed photos, he made it fun. The action shots were exceptional.
  • What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? We ordered a package that included albums for the bride and groom, groom's parents, and us, the bride's parents. The package also included engagement pictures. There were various options which would accommodate any setting.
  • How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? He used his sense of humor and human qualities to bring out the comfortable and individual personalities of the posers.

  • What was your favorite wedding photo? I can’t possibly pick a favorite- maybe it is the one with me and all of my bridesmaids in a private moment before the wedding when I was not even aware that the photographer was there. . . or it could be the close up details of the cake, the rings, the small parts of the wedding that seemed to go by so quickly and now are captured forever. . . or maybe just the genuine smiles that were captured.
  • How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? Jason and Rachel were always there, but never there. Never intrusive, I felt confident that every moment was being captured without feeling like I was constantly posing for the camera. None of the photos look posed, despite having all of the requisite family and bride groom photos.
  • What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? We have a BEAUTIFUL album for our coffee table that I always enjoy looking through on my own, and that friends and family always comment on. We were given a cd with all of the digital photos that has been wonderful to have. Engagement session was included with the price.
  • How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? You will not find a more down to earth photographer than Jason. Get ready to have fun, and break all the stuffy "wedding photographer" stereotypes.

  • What was your favorite wedding photo? Jason used the incredible Colorado skyline to get many gorgeous photos of us at sunset. The Illume team used their creativity to capture shots unlike any I have seen by other wedding photographers.
  • How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? The Illume team blended into our group just like one of the guests. They were respectful, inconspicuous and moved around the guests to get their shots. All of our guests commented on how professional and easy it was to work with Illume both during posed and action photos.
  • What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? The Illume team officered many packages for us to choose from. Some packages did include engagement sessions, for us that was not important to Jason traded that for a credit towards our prints and albums, we appreciated their flexibility in creating a package that worked for what we wanted.
  • How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? Illume was amazing at making our group feel comfortable, they were friendly, professional and allowed for the family to take breaks and relax while keeping us to the schedule. They did a wonderful job of coordinating photos and making it fun.
