In Bloom Photography

Admittedly a hopeless romantic, I simply LOVE love. The beautiful season of life that you're in right now is a gift! Having a photographer you trust throughout the entire wedding planning process, as well as someone willing to advocate for you on your big day, is such an important role, and my biggest honor. The name In Bloom is inspired by my love for flowers and how they can be seen as a metaphor for life. A delicate staple of beauty that grows and withstands the elements, ultimately blooming and weathering the ever- changing seasons. My passion flourishes in capturing life's moments that are beautiful and fleeting, like a flower In Bloom.

Hi there! I'm Jackie, and this is my husband & business partner, Cory. Many photographer's "about me" section will tell you how they've known they wanted to be a photographer since they were a child. Not mine. I didn't know that's what I wanted until I actually started taking pictures and realized that photography was the creative outlet I had been missing my entire life. Not only am I so incredibly blessed to have this amazing, life-giving business; I'm even more blessed to get to share it with my husband.

We have done 2 sessions with Jacqueline so far and both have come out beautiful! She is so sweet and easy to work with. It’s like having a friend you know take your picture.

We lovingly refer to our photography work as our “honeymoon baby.” We began our pursuit of photography shortly before our first wedding anniversary- mostly out of a desire to create art and serve people together. We choose to specialize in weddings for many reasons. We love each other, and when we see others who share that deep commitment to one another we can’t help but rejoice. One of the greatest joys of our work is in capturing the many unique and diverse ways in which our clients share those feelings with each other.

I cannot say enough good things about Rob + Kristen! Not only are they amazing photographers and capture all the moments, but they are awesome people as well! My husband and I were blessed to have them on our big day. Rob has such an eye for a great shot and will work tirelessly to make sure he provides you with the best of the best. Kristen is a girls best friend. When we did posed photos, she was always there to make sure my hair was right, we were standing correctly, holding flowers when I was not using them - she even held my lipstick in her bag for me and reapplied when needed! They got our pictures back to us so quick and we could not be happier!

My husband and I couldn’t be happier with the incredible service we received from George Street Photo & Video. From the very first phone call, their team made us feel supported and confident. As a first-time client booking photography and videography, I had a lot of questions—and the representative was not only patient and professional but genuinely enthusiastic about helping us understand every detail. We chose the 8-hour package with both a photographer and videographer, and it was worth every moment. As our wedding day approached, George Street stayed in touch, offering thoughtful reminders and tips to help us make the most of our photo and video sessions. Their planning website was a game-changer—it allowed us to map out the timeline, locations, and key people for each shot, ensuring everything ran smoothly. One of the best parts was getting to choose our photographer, Paola. She was an absolute gem—warm, attentive, and effortlessly engaging with our guests. Her ability to speak Spanish was a huge plus, allowing her to connect with our family in a way that made everyone feel included and comfortable. Even now, our loved ones still talk about how wonderful she was. While we didn’t get to choose our videographer, Ryan turned out to be a quiet genius. Though more reserved, he had an incredible eye for capturing the most meaningful moments. His work speaks volumes, and we’re so grateful for the beautiful footage he created. The package also included a stunning 50-page printed photo book and full access to download all our photos and video. Both Paola and Ryan arrived on time and reached out beforehand to confirm our preferences, which gave us peace of mind and made us feel truly cared for. Sharing our wedding memories with family and friends has been such a joy, and we owe that to the talent and dedication of the George Street team. They didn’t just document our day—they helped us relive it, beautifully.

I loved all of the candids taken of the guests which is something I wanted during the ceremony and reception. We were able to see parts of the night that we would have missed. The planning team was also great- Hannah was very helpful in giving me an example timeline ahead of our call. We’re so pleased with our choice to select OLAS!

PictureMeThisByLacie was one of the best decisions we made throughout the wedding process. Lacie was amazing to work with the entire time. She was easy to communicate with and kept us updated on our photo timelines, not to mention all of our photos turned about AMAZING. Our package included an engagement session and Lacie worked out a weekend she was already in Chicago to accommodate us. Leading up to our session, we had issues with controlled fires and protests in our preferred location, but Lacie found us a spot that blew my expectations for photos out of the water. She gave us a sneak peak and also got our pictures back to us super quick. On our big day, Lacie and Tim(her husband/second photographer) were the best to work with. They made us feel comfortable and captured our day better than we could have imagined. As soon as they got there, they got straight to work. Lacie got all the details and getting ready photos that I will cherish forever. Things were running behind the day of and they let us add on an hour to our contract the day of and pay at a later date. This ensured that we got dance floor photos and it was so worth it! Specifically getting pictures of my husband's grandmother in her 80s dancing with all her grandkids. We received a sneak peak very quickly and our whole (massive) gallery less than 2 months after the wedding. For as many photos as we got, this was a crazy quick turn around. Overall, PictureMeThisByLacie captured our day better than we could have ever imagined, we could not recommend them more!
