I’m Jacquelyn & welcome to Gray Day Photo + Film.

I don’t remember where this all started; it’s always just been a part of me. I first started taking photos of my barbies with my parents’ film camera & I haven’t put down a camera since. I would photograph everything (heck, I still do); my friends, my pets, my hikes & walks, my roadtrips, my food. I have an obsession with photography in every way.

After high school, photographing love only made sense. What’s more beautiful and interesting than sharing someone’s love story? And I get to do that as my job? Someone pinch me. I’m living in the Notebook.

But I’d be lying if I told you my history with love wasn’t complicated.

My childhood wasn’t exactly picture perfect. During elementary school, I quickly watched my parents marriage fall apart. It hurt & honestly still stings. Growing up, I didn’t believe in love & never thought it was for me. But the thing about love, is that it will find you unexpectedly. And it did just that.

I will never take for granted experiencing & witnessing healthy, beautiful relationships

Something I never saw growing up, is now what I hold near and dear to my heart. I cherish each wedding I shoot because I know how special it is to find your life partner.

I’m so inspired by true love, because quite frankly, it saved me.
