JILLIAN BLANC
For nearly a decade, Jillian has been documenting weddings with an approach that blends documentary storytelling and editorial artistry. Working with both digital and film, she creates photographs that feel timeless, honest, and deeply personal.
Jillian has documented more than 120 celebrations across the United States and internationally. She has been recognized as one of the Top 14 Wedding Photographers in the U.S. by Anti Bride and named one of the Top 40 Wedding Photographers by The Wed.
Her work is rooted in observation. She believes the best photographs come from allowing people the space to be fully present while she documents the story as it naturally unfolds while blending in moments of guidance to bring your vision to life in the most natural way possible.
Inspired by old family photo albums, classic films, and the beauty found in everyday moments, her work is guided by light, emotion, and thoughtful composition. Every image is created with the intention of preserving not only how a wedding looked, but how it felt.


I photograph with a documentary approach for couples who value presence over performance. My work is rooted in genuine connection, the quiet in-between moments, the effortless laughter, and the way time seems to blur when you are fully immersed in each other. These are the moments that matter most and the ones worth preserving with care.
Rather than fitting you into a predetermined mold, I begin by asking what feels true to you. Where do you feel most at ease? Most alive? Most like yourselves? Whether it is an evening spent dancing and laughing or a quiet moment at home with a glass of wine, my goal is to reflect this season of your life with honesty and elegance. The result is imagery that feels lived in, personal, and deeply authentic.
Being photographed can feel vulnerable, and I understand that completely. I approach every session with calm direction and an intuitive eye, creating an environment that feels natural, unforced, and comfortable. You will never be asked to perform or pose in a way that does not feel like you.
Above all, I care about connection. I do not see my role as simply showing up, taking photos, and leaving. I want to know you, your dynamic, your rhythm, and your story, so I can document it thoughtfully and beautifully. You deserve imagery that feels like you, elevated and timeless, captured by someone who truly sees you.

Mad Men or VPR

I spend my time with my husband, Kevin. We live in a mid-century home in Minneapolis that we've been slowly bringing back to life. Our little family wouldn't be completely without our black cat, the bub.
Our passion for exploring has introduced us to so many beautiful places & people over the last eight years. We never pass up the opportunity to check out a new antique store or coffee shop. When we aren't traveling we spend as much time as we can outside paddle boarding around the lakes and on rainy nights we're curled up watching Mad Men or classic horror movies with a glass of bourbon. In 2019 we launched a creative studio, Even Odds Design Co. for all of your branding needs.


THE ANTI BRIDE
I’m honored to share that I’ve been selected as a recommended photographer with Anti Bride — a publication whose perspective on artful, intentional weddings has inspired me for years.
The feature dives into my approach, the heart behind my work, and the moments that shaped my career. Seeing my imagery alongside so many artists I admire feels both surreal and deeply meaningful.

Jillian created a comfortable and calm environment during my fiancé and my session. Her work is beyond beautiful. Her personality is infectious. I would ask her to capture anything and everything personal in my life - ANNIE
