Hi there

nice to meet you!

I’m Jillian. I've been in the industry since 2020. I started by working closely with Dearly Beloved Weddings and Allium Floral Design. I had second shot a few weddings here and there before the pandemic, but it wasn't until 2020 when I got picked up by DBW, that I really started diving head first into the wedding photography world. I worked with DBW as an associate photographer for about 2.5 years. With Allium, I really got a behind the scenes look at event design and florals. My time there was priceless, and really informed my understanding of the wedding day. I still work with the Allium team from time to time.

I currently shoot primarily for my own business - Jillian Paige Photography. However, I also associate shoot for Nina Lily Photo (I've been with the team for over 2 years now) (2-4 weddings per year) and second shoot for a number of photogs. I've worked closely with Addison George, Valor & Vine, Anna Claire, Bianca Tang, and more. 

My clients and fellow photogs have told me that I have a calming and positive presence on wedding days. I care deeply about the client's wishes and about representing the couple and their families and friends in a way that feels aligned for them. I love photographing portraits of course, but my favorite part of a wedding day is that there’s so much emotion and stories within stories to be told. I love the in between moments of magic more than anything. It’s a sort of meditation for me - I love to lose myself in the story and excitement of the day and become completely swept up in the documenting the story of the day.

I shoot Nikon. I have two Z6IIs. I usually dual shoot at weddings, but don’t mind using one body if you prefer to conserve memory cards. I have the following lenses..

28-75  |  70-200  |  35  |  50  |  85 

I'm proficient with on-camera flash and have a good understanding of off-camera flash.

When second shooting, I see myself as a compliment to the lead. I try to be aware of what lens the lead is using and if they’re shooting in portrait or landscape, and I try to anticipate what they might need. However, I’ve worked with enough photographers to know that everyone has a different relationship with and expectations of their seconds. I’m happy to take all the direction or no direction.
