When it comes to my artistry, I can’t quite sum it up. I would say, it’s not me, it’s you. The photos I make are you. They will always be unique to your love & the energy and memories you share with me.
I love learning more about your story before capturing it. Creating a friendly, welcoming environment will always be the most important thing to me. The comfortability you feel with the person behind the lens, will translate in the photos & will allow me to capture every feeling your love exudes.
There’s a million amazing photographers out there, but I pride myself in being a friendly, warm presence that you can rely on during your best & most important day ever, capturing what you felt, but could never say.
I’m Jacquelyn & welcome to Gray Day Photo + Film. The name “Gray Day” came from the ideal sky conditions most photographers prefer to take photos in. But it’s funny because lately, I’ve been in a relationship with finding the light.
I was born & raised in Wisconsin from a European American father & a Pakistani American mother. Currently living in California.
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.
Being in a 5 year relationship myself; I will never take for granted experiencing & capturing healthy, beautiful relationships. I cherish each wedding I shoot because I know how special it is to find your life partner. & Mine happens to also be our film team for Gray Day Photo + Film. How magical is it to work with the person you love, doing what you love?!
