Working with Jenn was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! Every photo is more stunning than the last — she captured the emotion, the candid moments, and the magic of the day PERFECTLY.
She was incredibly professional, yet so fun and easy to work with. Honestly, just taking photos with her was one of the highlights of the entire day.
Every bride should hire her — she’s that talented. I wish I could give her 100 stars!! We’re so grateful for Jenn and for all of these memories captured SO BEAUTIFULLY!
Where do I begin?! Jenn. Is. Just. Amazing. I am in love with my wedding photos! I can't stop gawking at them. On my big day, the weather was challenging, constantly changing from foggy, to sprinkling, to light rain, to sunny, and then back to gloomy and sprinkling. The dynamic weather required a photographer to think quickly on their feet and adjust to the changing lighting conditions. Jenn showed off her expert skills in these conditions. She and her assistant also came prepared with umbrellas for us to use when it started to rain. She ambitiously searched the wedding venue for picturesque locations to shoot. I could tell the wheels in her head were turning. The impromptu photoshoot at the tall glass doors of my get-ready room turned out amazing. At sunset, Jenn and her assistant took my husband and me to the vineyards across the street to get golden hour shots. She ensured that everything before sunset happened on time, so we had enough time to do this. This showed her work ethic and passion for the job. Because I've never done a professional photoshoot before, I felt awkward and nervous being in front of the camera, but Jenn kept making such funny jokes that it relaxed me. She also instructed me how to pose and fixed my wedding dress train and hair whenever it needed to look good for the camera. She knew how to compose the perfect shot. *chef's kiss* Before my wedding, I didn't realize how much time you spend with your photographer on the big day. Because of this, you need someone who is lighthearted, fun, compassionate, understanding, resourceful, comforting, and passionate about their job. This is who Jenn is. She was not only an amazing photographer, but she was a good friend and therapist. Let me list everything she did for me during my wedding: - Hugged me when I nearly cried out of frustration (therapist). - Answered all sorts of random wedding questions me and my bridesmaid had (resourceful). - Taught my bridesmaids how to put on a veil (resourceful). - Bustled my train for me (helpful). - Took my husband and I aside for precious one-on-one time so that we could have a moment together before the craziness began (experienced). - Brought me boba from my boba station because I was stuck talking to family and friends (good friend). - She offered to play the "bad guy" who would stop guests from spending too much time with me because our wedding timeline was tight and packed with activities (good friend). - She even stayed overtime unpaid to capture some dancing photos (loves her job). She went ABOVE AND BEYOND our expectations, and I can't wait to hire her for family photos one day. Love you, Jenn!
They say the person you spend the most time with on your wedding day is your photographer, and in my experience this was totally the case -- which is why I am grateful to have worked with Jenn! She was so calm and collected and got beautiful photos of me, my partner, and our friends and family. Additionally, she helped me bustle my dress, fix my hair, and more! Jenn has the amazing ability to help make anyone feel comfortable while she is taking their picture and it really shows in the results (even our little nephews!). Picking a photographer was the toughest decision for me when wedding planning, and I am so glad I went with Jenn.
