Hi there! I’m the Jill in JTP. I started this company back in 2010 and have since expanded the team to include other amazing creatives. Working with people, telling stories, and documenting moments are the things I'm most passionate about in my work. Outside of photography – I love to travel and try anything new. I'm at peace in the mountains, or anywhere with a breeze on my face. But I also love laying on the couch sandwiched between my husband, dog, and two cats with some good food.
Hey! I'm Jill...
Hi! I’m Nicki! I started working with Jill in 2015. I was drawn to photography because of my passion for preserving real life moments. Jill trusted me to shoot her own wedding in 2018, and it was so amazing to see Jill as the bride and not the photographer for once. Outside of photography, I love craft beer, Tuesday Night Trivia, and I can recite Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore verbatim.

I'm the H in JTP... umm, let me explain - I'm Jill's husband and her name is actually Jill Heun as of 2018, but the business still goes by Tiongco. I've been shooting with Jill since 2016 and we have the best time together. I'm into superheroes, dad jokes, building things out of wood (DMH Woodwork), and my favorite place on earth is in the Northwoods at my cabin (where Jill and I got married).

I am a photographer with over a decade of experience. I won’t move on without making sure I have the shots I want to capture! You can guess when I capture THE SHOT; I'll probably jump up and down out of excitement! I am a mom of the most energetic boy, and a daughter of the most supportive woman. I consider myself very lucky to have them both by my side, not to mention that I get to do what I love - I get to be part of people’s happiest day of their lives!

Hi, I'm Ashley! I'm literally a hopeless romantic with weddings & people I photograph. Not only am I fully invested in your wedding, but I am stoked to know more about you as a couple and your love story. I can still say after photographing for 7 years, nothing compares to capturing the raw emotion and joy experienced on a wedding day. Also, I am always down for a good deep dish pizza or jamming out to 90's music.

I grew up around movies, literally. My family owned an old school movie theater, where I ran up and down the aisles, devoured films, and learned the importance of storytelling and composition. I love filming weddings because I know how fast your special day can go by. Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, and I'm humbled to be able to craft a special video for you that will last a lifetime and that can be shared with all of your family and friends!

Hi, I’m Tony. I am a cinematographer, and have been shooting professionally for about 7 years. I started as a kid when I was assigned, “lead of the camera crew” in 7th grade and it went on from there. But filmmaking is not all I do. I’m into classic cars and love everything about their history. I own a 1949 Cadillac and two 1970's Datsun Z’s. They are amazing and a blast to drive! I love cruising with my wife and 5 children in my old classics! We have the best time ever!

our why
our philosophy
We want to capture the real you. Authentic, imperfect moments. The big ones, the little ones - but most importantly, the in-between, often overlooked moments that fill in the gaps to tell your unique story. Wind in your hair, food in your mouth, drinks in hand - we encourage those big open mouth laughs and free falling tears. Those are the emotion filled moments we want to freeze in time to tell your story.

our why
The Experience
Our work is based on YOUR story. In order to tell that story - we want that personal connection. That vibe, that chemistry -- that feeling of friendship and trust. Your portraits with us should feel like real, genuine moments of laughter and excitement. If you're looking for a strict photographer/client relationship, we might not the best fit for you. Those smiles you see in our photos - those happen because we're having fun together.

Work directly with the owners, Jill and Dan Heun as they shoot as a husband/wife team! The ultimate duo - this is the true JTP Signature Experience on your wedding day!
Work with our team of photographers that have been hand picked and trained by Jill. You’ll still work with Jill throughout planning, visualizing, editing, and delivery.
Jill caught every subtle, unplanned, key moment of the night. She caught facial expressions I've only ever known in my mind, but now we have them forever in these stunning pictures. Jill and her assistant were so fun to hang with for the whole day, and she never seemed out of place.
Elizabeth + Kyle
My parents and I cried when we saw all the special moments she captured. She is personable, entertaining, professional and takes incredible photographs. Out of all of our vendors, Jill was my favorite.
Jackie + Mark
Jill was one of the best decisions that we made for our wedding. I also loved that she had her own style. The pictures were unlike anything I had ever seen. If you are looking for someone who has an eye for this with a touch of creative edge, look no further.
Chelsea + Zac
I loved seeing Jill's creativity shine through. She'd jump in with an idea or a new angle or shot she wanted to try...those were some of the most unique! Each time we look through them, we laugh and cry all over again. Jill is always dressed with a huge smile on her face...you can't help but want to be in her presence!
Ashley + Nik
We made the stupid mistake of going with George Street and getting pictures that lacked variety and creativity. Therefore, we asked Jill to retake our wedding pictures 6 months after our wedding. I can finally put my wedding dress away now that I'm 100% pleased with our wedding pictures.
Crystal + Carlos
Jill felt like a friend we had known forever. She is easy going, a great listener, warm and friendly. Jill helped my husband and I feel completely at ease, giving simple directions and helping us get the shots we really wanted. You will not regret hiring Jill.
Jess + Tom
You're more concerned about the imperfect moments, than the perfect 'pretty' portraits.
You get excited when new bars and restaurants open up in your neighborhood and immediately do your research.
You don't see laugh lines and wrinkles as flaws, but instead as proof that you're happy and don't give a f*ck what people think.
You try to travel somewhere new at least once a year.
Your love language is physical touch (yes, my hubsand and I have taken the silly test).
