Praises

“To celebrate 30 years of marriage Bruce and I decided to have professional photographs taken to capture our outdoor spirit.  Our main objective was to achieve great photos of the two of us taken in a beautiful setting.  When we contacted Jana Marler to be our photographer she encouraged us to participate in a Beloved Photography Session.   Our Beloved Session far exceeded our expectations of a typical photo shoot.  Through Jana’s talent as photographer and artist, what evolved was an intimate afternoon filled with laughter, joy, and love captured through her lens.  Our Beloved Session captured a moment in time that told the story of 30 years reflecting our love and life together.   The end result was photographs that revealed who we are as partners for life.    Little did I know that only weeks later after the photographs were developed that I would have a near fight with cancer.   The pictures remind me of who we are as a couple and all that we have experienced together in life’s journey.    Each day I look at the photographs I am reminded of that blessed afternoon in the fall when our world stood still for us to focus on celebrating our life together. -Janet 2012″

“While looking for a photographer for our wedding we had a difficult time finding exactly what we wanted for our engagement session, destination wedding and reception. We learned about Jana through a friend and after seeing their wedding photo’s we knew we had to meet her. When we met with her she showed us some pictures from previous weddings that she had done and we talked about what we were looking for. We knew she was perfect for what we were looking for. We did our beloved session in the fall of 2011 and the pictures turned out beautiful! Jana also spent a week with our family in Mexico during our destination wedding in August of 2012. She became family during our trip! During the entire process she was very flexible and overall she is a very talented artist. We were so happy with the quality of the pictures and the uniqueness of Jana’s work. She is a wonderful person and makes you feel at ease. Joe and I cannot express how grateful we are for all that she has done for us. Most of all, we appreciate her making herself available to help us fulfill our dreams and capture one of the most important days of our lives. -Tesa, Bride 2012″

“It was wonderful meeting you and I wanted to thank you for taking the time to shoot our engagement session and for being a part of our special occasion in general. I have to admit, I’ve been somewhat obsessive with your blog and website since you were mentioned as a possible photog. I love photography and art and the way it makes my mind run. I, unfortunately, was not given any skills to transfer brain-vision to paper or film. You, on the other hand my friend, have been blessed with everything I lack plus 1000 times more. Your work, vision and genuineness are amazing and I’m ecstatic that you’ll be creating the memories we’ll have of our wedding and engagement. We truly appreciate your time and I know you’ll easily make our special day(s) even more amazing than I could ever dream. Not only are you extremely talented, but you’re also a great person and a joy to be around. I know you’ll be shooting us and our family for years to come. -Nick, Groom 2012″

“Where do I even BEGIN to talk about my experience with Jana? Words can’t even describe it.. except for maybe speechless!!Jana was so wonderful to work with. From the very beginning, Jana had my best interest at heart. She wasn’t rude in any way, she truly cared about what my husband & I wanted, she worked with us, she listened, gave great advice, & encouraged me throughout EVERYTHING! Her words of praise are seriously more than my little emotional heart could take. Jana is the absolute sweetest. She puts you at ease, makes you feel confident in yourself & confident in her abilities, & takes the most AMAZING photos I’ve ever laid my eyes on. She doesn’t just have a good camera or great lenses… Jana has talent that can’t be beat. AT ALL. She gets creative & is so passionate about what she does that you KNOW she’s enjoying taking your photos as much as you’re enjoying it! After seeing my pictures, I’ve already had people (who are in the engagement process) ask about my photographer.And I am an aspiring photographer, so I am SUPER picky about my photos. I wouldn’t let just anyone take them & I’m telling you… if you choose Jana, you will NOT be disappointed. I recommend her to every person I know who is needing a photographer!Thank you SO MUCH, Jana!! -Chelsea, Bride 2012″

“Oh my goodness Jana I don’t know what to say! The photos are incredible. Making Megan look stunning can’t be all that difficult but me on the other hand, that was no small feat! We can’t believe how gorgeous the images turned out. You really are wildly talented. It was a joy working with you. We can’t wait to do it again! -Marcus, Groom 2013″

“Jana, God is so good! Thank you so much for being apart of Ali and Corey’s special day. You have been such a blessing to us. There is not enough words for me say that could convey the depth of my gratitude. Lifting you, your family and business up in prayer is the most and best I can do. Love in Christ! -Cheryl, Mother of Bride 2011″

“Jana, THANK YOU for an awesome experience last night. Wedding planning has put a lot of stress on us. Last night’s engagement session was so much fun for the both of us, it lifted a huge load off our shoulders. Doing something fun and silly just keeped us focused on why  we are getting married and that’s because we love each other dearly. Thank you for capturing our love we share. -Judy, Bride 2010″

“I met Jana in college, so I knew I loved her personality and creativity. Naturally, I’ve browsed through her blogs over the years because I just love seeing all her wonderful photographs. I first hired Jana for a family session for my parent’s 25th wedding anniversary. She was fantastic, always making my family comfortable and giving us suggestions on how to move and pose. When my dad was about 45 min late, she acted like it was no problem and just took mother-daughter and mother-son pictures until he arrived. Plus we have amazing family pictures all over the house now

Jana is such a hardworking friend and photographer. She hid in the rose bushes during my husband’s proposal and then hopped out to capture closer pictures after he proposed! I was completely surprised. Talk about a dedicated photographer! Obviously we chose to work with Jana for our engagement and wedding pictures. We had to reschedule the engagement pictures 3 times, and she even spent the night at my husband’s family’s house and woke up at 6:30am to take pictures while it was cool. What Jana wouldn’t do for fabulous photos, I just don’t know!
And finally, Jana made our wedding day even more perfect. She captured every special moment, even ones I didn’t know she saw! She directed the wild wedding party through the wedding pictures, and whipped through pictures with my humongous family like it was nothing. And all the pictures are perfectly amazing!

All I can say is that I will be using Jana for all my special occasions and recommend her to everyone who wants beautiful, creative, and fun photographs of their precious moments! -Jenny, Bride 2012″

“Jana took mine and my soon-to-be husbands photos a few weeks ago – I can not say enough positive things about her. She has excellent knowledge of her equipment, but also has excellent perceptivity for people and reactions. We loved her from the beginning, but absolutely became head-over-heels after we saw the {Beloved} session posted online. I will absolutely refer her as one of my preferred vendors to my 2013 brides. Just like the man of my dreams, choosing Jana will be a decision I will never regret -Bethany, Bride 2012″

“Jana’s is a fabulous photographer! Her photos are modern, unique and personality driven. She not only captures moments, she creates art! Jana is so easy to get along with and wants the best for her clients. I would recommend her talent to anyone looking for photos with a little extra spirit and fun. -Ashley, Good Earth Floral Design 2010″

“Jana was incredibly fun and easy to work with. Her enthusiasm and joy made her a great person to have with us on our special day. Your photographer is with you for most of your wedding day, therefore making it very important to find someone who is reliable, knowledgeable, and fun. We found that in Jana and couldn’t be more pleased with our experience with her on our wedding day. She helped make our day even more special. She was also very timely in getting our photos to us after the wedding. -Allison, Bride 2012″

“Jana Marie of Jana Marie Photography is a bride’s dream come true. She recently shot my son’s wedding and she was nothing short of fantastic! She took almost 900 photos but we were barely aware she was there she was so unobtrusive. When it came time for the family photos–a process like herding cats–she was cheerful and accommodating to all the requests and quick and efficient. This after the wedding party had been shooting their pix outside in the 98-degree heat/98-degree humidity for more than 2 hours. She couldn’t control the weather but she sure made the best of that part too and the finished photos betrayed no signs of undue perspiration. The quality of her photos speaks for itself, but what I appreciate most and think any bride would, is how personal she made the photos. She captured the essence of the wedding couple and all her photos allowed the individuals’ personality to shine forth. I liked the fun, casual poses as much as the formal ones. She went above and beyond to include the little touches of a wedding, too, for symbolic value (closeup still-life-looking vignettes of the flowers, accessories, place cards, shoes, etc.)–the ones the bride and groom have thought so hard about to make the wedding truly yours. Her photos then tell a complete and magnificent story of the fairy tale day in sharp, vivid photographs everyone can treasure. Hire her now! -Angela, mother of groom 2011″

I hired Jana to do my wedding pictures and they were beautiful. The first time I saw the photos at the viewing, it took my breath away.

Jana is very good at what she does and it can be seen through her photos.”

Veronica {lifestyle session} Jana has a natural talent. She can see the beauty in everything. I have seen shots that I would have never imagined. Many are just simply breathtaking. The other photos I have seen really tell the story that by the time I have finished looking at the photos, I feel as if I know the couple and the family. You can’t go wrong, there is no place that she would not consider going.
