Testimonials

“I have known and followed Jill’s work from the start. When we got engaged last year I knew we had to call her for our engagement photos. She was fast, flexible and brought so much fun energy to our shoot! We were so happy with our engagement photos and there was no doubt we wanted her to be our wedding photographer. On the day Jill was so fun and energetic while making sure to capture all the best moments of the day. She never stopped looking for the perfect shot that would be otherwise lost in the moment and her attention to detail and lighting make her photography flawless. I knew that day the photos would be great but the amount of incredibly perfect pictures she got from our wedding were unbelievable. The compliments on the photography of the whole day, and especially the ceremony just keep coming! Jill is just the best…Top Notch!” – Stephanie Graebener

“I first met Jill when she photographed my cousin’s wedding that I was part of. The experience we had at that wedding with Jill was amazing. She made it fun and very comfortable, not to mention the pictures came out BEAUTIFUL. I loved her and the quality of the pictures so much that I HAD to have her photograph my wedding the following year, so much so that I may have chosen my wedding date based upon her availability :) :) Jill showed up and made sure that while I was in my wedding day frenzy that she captured all the images that I had asked her to. She made taking pictures so much fun. I received my pictures back in a very timely fashion and I couldn’t have been happier with the outcome!!! She did an incredible job. My family hasn’t stopped talking about how pleased they were with the entire photog experience.” – Xan Coffman

“Jillian Hughes of B.O.B. is an amazing photographer. I have worked with her for the last few years on site and in studio, so when it came time for me to choose my wedding photographer, it was a very easy decision. Jillian has an incredible eye for details and all the special, candid moments that really make the day special. I had seen her wedding work in the past and it was all stunning. She is a gifted photographer and I am proud to call her my friend. She is so much fun to work with but also professional and on point. Everyone at my wedding commented on how lovely she was and how they couldn’t wait to see the pictures, and now that they are finished, I couldn’t be happier. She really captured the joy and happiness and emotion we all felt during that day, and that to me is priceless. I cannot thank her enough for the friendship we have developed over the last couple of years, and for the incredible memories she was able to capture so perfectly on our wedding day. Thank you Jillian, you are the best! xoxo” — Shannon Doyle

“Lots of fun having Jill as our photographer. She added to the laughs and enjoyment of our special day. Punctual, professional, and we didn’t wait very long to get the photos! Highly recommended.” — Angela and Aaron

“Bombs Over Betty provided the photography services as well as hair and makeup for my October wedding. They also did our engagement pics several months prior. I could not be happier with the results! Hair and makeup for myself and my bridesmaids were flawless. We received our pictures within two weeks of the wedding and they were amazing! There were about 1,000 shots total, and we loved so many of them we had a hard time deciding which ones to print/show off. Not only was the product perfection, but Jill and Tarryn were great to work with and brought a fun and lively energy to our big day! I highly recommend Bombs Over Betty for your upcoming wedding!!” — Cristen Stewart

“Jill from Bombs Over Betty is unreal. Not only is she the coolest chick I know, she is also insanely talented. She made everyone feel as comfortable as possible, and the pictures came out great. She follows up, prepares, asks questions, extremely organized.. etc. I could go on and on. Her professionalism was great. Like I said before, this is just second natural to her, and that really shows when she is taking photos. I have already highly recommended her to friends, and family. If you want good photos (which is SO important) then hire Jill ! Her photos are perfect!” — Christie Castello

“Jillian from Bombs Over Betty Photography photographed my shot gun wedding in Dana Point, CA in August 2013. I was 6 months pregnant and needless to say it was not how I envisioned myself looking on my wedding day. I expressed to Jillian that I would love for my wedding photos to showcase me as a bride not as a pregnant bride and boy did she deliver! She took extra special care posing me and setting up the shots to thin out my chubby arms and back using my cathedral length veil and she placed my bridal bouquet front and center camouflaging my baby bump. Her efforts to photograph me in natural light made my skin glow and look flawless. She paid extra special attention to all the wedding day details photographing the wedding bands, the dress, the shoes and most importantly all the special people in my life that attended. My wedding photos bring me tears of joy and sentiment, make me laugh and smile from ear to ear. She captured the romance of the beach setting, the love between my husband and I and the ultimate blast my guests had with an open bar and a great band- they tore up the dance floor- I’ve got the pics to prove it! Even though the wedding was a over in a blink of an eye my wedding photos will last a lifetime. I highly recommend her! In addition to being an amazing wedding photographer Jillian also specializes in family portraits, boudoir, pin-up, head shots you name it! I have had the pleasure of having her shoot all of these for me and yes even though she is located in Nashville I will fly her out to LA for all my photography needs!” — Crystal Green

Bombs Over Betty Photo is AMAZING! Fantastic service and professionalism at its finest. Hands down one of my favorite venders we had for our wedding. A lot of her clients are big name super stars but it doesn’t show in her pricing. I received my images back within a couple weeks Unlike my friends having to wait 6 or more months. Jillian Hughes is an absolute doll to work with. She made me feel comfortable and beautiful on my Big Day! I will use B.O.B for all my photography needs in the future.” — Amber Burks

Jillian was so wonderful to work with for our wedding photography. she was super organized and on top of all the details leading up to the day of our wedding. i was SO thankful she was prepared for all of the timing and details that i hadn’t even considered, which really allowed me to just relax and enjoy the day. while Jill and her second photographer were really professional, they were also super fun, and for me, that was the most important part. our photos turned out beautifully, not cheesy or over-posed looking like so many wedding photos i’ve seen before. honestly, the toughest part for us was narrowing down the 1100+ images to a reasonable amount to share with our family and friends. we were beyond happy with Jillian’s work and would highly recommend B.O.B. photo for your wedding or special event.” Britt Mimms

“Jill was GREAT to work with. We had so much fun and the pictures turned out beautiful. They were very flexible and willing to fly with whatever craziness happens on the big day. I had zero stress the day of, regarding pictures. Jill has great creativity and her style is unlike any others. She has a passion for weddings and it definitely shows in her work!! HIGHLY recommend Bombs over Betty for Wedding Photography! :)” – Andrea Smalls

I met Jillian at a chance encounter in Nashville at a local distillery and through a mutual friend we got to talking about design. I was developing a new t-shirt line and was looking for a photographer that understood the aesthetic I was after. Me and Jillian immediately hit it off, her energy and engagement in the project was unmatched by an photographer that I had previous talked with. She immediately started throwing out ideas and asked “when do we get started?” Jillian’s enthusiasm almost exceeded my own, by far the most fun, positive and energetic photographer I have ever worked with!”Derrick Castle, Straw Castle Designs

When Jill told me she was chasing a dream out west I automatically knew that she was going to make it happen. We were kids, but she just had that spark!  I’ve had the great pleasure of shooting with Jillian a couple times as she has traveled home again; it’s an experience that is addicting. Her electric personality kept me motivated and for me being a novice she captured images and moments of brilliance. I can’t wait to work with her again and again. It’s a blast to be in front of her camera and thrilling to see her edited pictures. The love for her job is in every session, image, blog and post. You can’t help but to love Jillian, her passion and her work! — Daisy Smothers

“When I first came across Bombs over Betty I was immediately captivated.  It wasn’t so much the style (Bombshell) that attracted me but more the energy that just pours from the photographs.  I couldn’t explain it, but in no time flat I was hooked!  Every new photo shoot, every new tear sheet, every new adventure simply intrigued me more than the last and pulled me deeper in.  I wanted so desperately to be a part of what ever was being captured in these pictures because you just knew it would be amazing. I second guessed my self a few times thinking at my age (40 this year, GULP!) there would be no way anyone could make me into a Bombshell, let alone capture that magic these photographs capture, not with tired old me.  Then I started talking with Jillian and she immediately put me at ease.  Then I met her at a convention and again, calmed my crazy mind and said, “Come on!  It will be fun!”  So I did, and it was the best adventure I could have been on.  Not only are the pictures amazing, but I am still on a high from all the confidence and energy that Jillian showered all over me.  It was empowering, exciting, amazing and fun!  Fun, at my age, who knew?! They woman give everything they have in to making your shoot the most amazing experience you have ever had, and it shows,(remember that energy that comes pouring out of the photograph I was talking about) on every  picture!  I was sad to see it end, am excited to do it again and will continue to be a HUGE fan of this amazing lady. To say that Jillian has talent is about as ridiculous as saying the South has cotton…what she has is SO much more.  XOXO” — Michelle Thomas

Typically kids dread pictures, well that was the case with mine until Bombs Over Betty Photography. They loved Jillian! She made it fun for them, by letting them be kids, and because of that we got the best pictures they have ever had taken. When we got in the car they made me promise we would only use the “cool girls” for pictures from now on, and believe me it takes a lot to be cool to a 6 & 7 year old :)” — Nicole Cagley

“My first “testimonial” ever, that’s just how much I loved my BOB experience! Top to bottom, soup to nuts… Bombs Over Betty Photography took every measure to ensure I had a fantastic time. Jillian, real and personable combined with just the right mix of sassy creative talent to equal one kick @ss photography company!!  I deeply appreciate what they bring to Nashville and the art of great photography, the energy and passion I felt was quite refreshing. I truly look forward to working with these amazing ladies again and hopefully seeing our work on a magazine stand near you!” — Theresa Lynn Nesbit

“I recently had the pleasure of having my little boys picture taken at Bombs Over Betty Photography Studio. Not only did they capture some truly beautiful shots, but their enthusiasm to work with such an unpredictable subject, was absolutely priceless! They were creative, patient, and resourceful. As well as great company for me too. Definitely a huge step above the average, boring, predictable children’s photos that we are all so used to seeing. I will without a doubt be coming back for more pictures very soon!” — Megan Hoehn

“I have worked with Jill many times on the “girlie” shoots that she does. I can still remember the first shoot I did with her. I am a girl that doesn’t radiate with confidence, so I was a little intimidated at first. I mean it can kind of be nerve racking getting half naked and allowing someone to take your picture. She was completely cool and understanding, she knew exactly how to pose me in a flattering way. When I saw the first photographs I was blown away! My first thought was ‘Holy Cow, that is not me!’ From that point on I was hooked. In front of her camera is one of the only places that I feel beautiful. She is brilliant! Her ‘eye’ is like no ones I have seen. Since my first shoot I have done 2 more and am scheduled for one on my birthday. I have also had her shoot my 3 daughters. They fell in love with her instantly.She is professional, yet real and friendly. My best friend also had Jill shoot her wedding in May of this year. I haven’t seen the pictures yet, but knowing Jill, they will be stunning! I will continue to recommend everyone I know to her.” — Kim Leavers

“One of my all time favorite people to work with! Jill is an amazingly beautiful soul, and such a joy to be around. Whether I’m part of her team behind the camera, or the subject in front of it, Jill is always makes sure everyone around her is comfortable, happy, and having fun, and consistently exceeds the expectations of everyone involved! LOVE THIS WOMAN!” — Caitlyn Meyer, Makeup Artist and Hair Stylist 

“B.O.B. took pictures of my daughter when she was only 6 months old. She is over 2 years old now and these are still my absolute favorite pictures of her… EVER. Jillian was able to capture my daughter making the cutest faces and all of her adorable expressions. Jillian was so patient with my daughter, even when she got fussy. We played music and had fun with the whole thing and it was such a great experience!!! I cannot wait for my third child to be born so that we can get some family photos done by the girls with our dogs!!! If you are looking for a unique, creative way to have pictures done of yourself or your children (or pets!) give these girls a call!!” — Annie Mallon
