I’m Jillian - a wedding and portrait photographer based in Buffalo, New York
I never imagined that I’d be running a photography business - but here I am, and I couldn’t be happier! For the longest time, music was the foundation of my life.. From a young age, I was surrounded by music - whether it was hours spent practicing instruments, performing in different settings, or diving deep into the theory and expression of music. It wasn’t just a hobby; it was a passion that shaped the way I saw the world and how I approached creativity. My journey even led me to pursue a degree in music performance in oboe, but I felt as if something was missing from my life. Music taught me discipline, creativity, and the beauty of expression. Little did I know, these same qualities would eventually lead me to photography. As I returned to school for the second time, I realized that photography was a greater passion than music, so I am currently attending Arizona State University in pursuit of a Bachelor’s degree in Digital Photography. Starting my photography business has been the greatest joy! I can’t wait to be your next photographer!
Photography is more than just capturing a photograph - it’s about creating an experience you’ll cherish forever. It’s a way to connect to people and their stories, to celebrate life’s most meaningful moments and to create art that lasts for a lifetime. Here at Jillian Doyle Photography, my goal is to capture special moments and turn them into timeless memories you’ll cherish. With each couple, there is a unique story that can be told by my photographs - preserving the emotions, the laughter, the love, and even the quiet intimate moments that make each story special. I’ll be right there with you to witness life’s most meaningful moments! These are moments that define us, and it’s my job to make sure they’re never forgotten. Ultimately, photography for me is about connection, preservation and creating photographs that will continue to hold meaning, long after the moment has passed.

I have a bucket list goal of visiting all the national parks in the U.S. In this past year, my partner and I have traveled to 4 national parks. We’re hoping to pack our bags for the national parks out west soon!!
I have a miniature dachshund, Indy, who is obsessed with her squeaky shark toy and is always beside me while I'm editing - or on me in funny positions, which is a total dachshund thing!
I have a cat named Sheldon, who literally follows me everywhere I go in my house and can also be found snuggling next to me while I edit!
I LOVE boba tea!!! Literally obsessed! My go-to order from my favorite tea place in Buffalo, NY is a brown sugar milk tea with cheese whip and tapioca.
I can be found doing puzzles any chance I get. Currently, I’m obsessed with doing vintage puzzles!
Love hiking and camping in state parks with my partner, friends and family. My partner and I’s go-to place is Allegany State Park!
