Tossing up some recent work to keep this dinosaur of a social media account alive (my website is much more up to date! www.JaclynSchmitz.com)

This page has been super quiet since I moved to Indiana and started working for other photographers. However I have the best reason to break the silence: my best friend got married! In Yosemite!

Super huge congrats Dana Katherine and Casey!

Last year, I passed the remote pilot certification test. But rain and a pandemic ruined my plans to use it. Until now! Thanks casey and her camera for letting me join Sabrina and Steve's engagement session in downtown Indy.

My last wedding in Vermont went out with a bang--literally!-- with an epic fireworks show at The Ponds at Bolton Valley. The foliage was just starting to turn, and Taylor and Jake were amazing as we dodged heavy rain to get some beautiful portraits.

I flew back to Vermont to photograph Sophie and Will's wedding on a lovely, blistering hot day. You wouldn't know it, but we lucked out and avoided thunderstorms that were drenching areas all around us. A wonderful addition to the amazing Boyden Farm was a yellow flower field that made for beautiful portraits. Inside, the festivities were rockin' with the always-fun band, The Grift. Congratulations Sophie and Will! It was an honor to fly back for your wedding.

SO honored and excited to share that another one of my photos was selected in Susan Stripling's The Wedding School photo competition!!

This was a moment that happened right after my clients, Courtney Mckee and Chris, walked down the aisle as newlyweds. Her brother had just delivered a moving and beautiful ceremony and was overwhelmed with emotion.

Hello Hello! A new wedding season has begun, and with it a LOT of new changes here at Jaclyn Schmitz Photography. First, I MOVED! I am now located in Indiana and will not be booking anymore Vermont weddings. Second, I am ONLY working for other wedding photographers.

With this big move, I transitioned my business into second and associate shooting. This gives me a lot more time to during the week to spend with our toddler, Owen, while still getting to enjoy creative pursuits on the weekend (and maybe talk to an adult or two).

If you’re a wedding photographer, I’ve completely reworked my website so you can learn more about me and how I’ll be an awesome shooter for your business. Check it out: https://www.jaclynschmitz.com/need-second-shooter-indiana

My gear list, experience, and portfolio all in one place

On one very chilly afternoon, Sophie and Bill eloped at Hotel Vermont and then ventured the grounds of Shelburne Farms for portraits. These two couldn't have been more adorable. Congrats!

I met Sophie and Will at their beautiful just-completed home in Hinesburg for their engagement session. Their adorable dogs joined us for some portraits and a few photobombs. Can't wait to come back to Vermont next year for their wedding!

Nikki and Kory's wedding ends my 2018 wedding season, and what a perfect ending it was! Clear skies allowed the sun to light up the yellow and orange foliage surrounding the The Inn At Grace Farm. A 1930's Packard dropped Nikki off for the ceremony, panoramic views of Mt. Mansfield was an amazing backdrop for toasts, and a dollar dance + shot got the party started on the dance floor.

Maureen and Eric married in a beautifully emotional ceremony on a clear October day. Throughout the day they sprinkled personal touches: their dog Peanut Butter was part of the getting ready process as he joined Moe for hair and makeup and wore a suit as an honorary groomsman for Eric; the flower in Moe's back tattoo provided unique inspiration for Erin from Nectar & Root's gorgeous bouquet; and their VW Bus photobooth had 2 very special guests: a reality show star and the baddest 80's badass of martial arts (who is more known for his dancing skills with this couple!).

The leaves were just starting to change colors for Sieko and Mitchell's wedding day in early October. Two songs were beautifully performed by friends during their ceremony, and their reception took place at Barre Country Club, run by Mitchell's father. With his intimate knowledge of the course, Mitchell scouted out some amazing views for their portraits. The night ended with games and a (biodegradable) lantern lighting--although the wind gave many guests a run for their money!

Lauren and Kenneth met while cosplaying, Lauren proposed via Zelda-themed cross-stitch, and they love being silly together. This meant their wedding day was filled with an awesome assortment of non-tradition: getting ready together, a green crocheted dress that took Lauren 9 months to complete, and a reception that was all about the party and absolutely NO glass clinking!

Thanks for snuggling, dancing, galloping, skipping, and playing with me Taylor and Jacob! I had so much fun and I can't believe how lucky we were to score one of the best sunsets of the year.
