We could not be happier that we hired Jen to photograph our Sonoma wedding. Jen is an absolute pleasure to work with and her photos are stunning. She captured our day perfectly without interrupting the celebration — we got all of the pictures we wanted but it didn’t feel like we were constantly being grabbed to pose for photos. We also loved the mix of portraits and candids, and some of our favorite shots are the unplanned ones.

We hired Jen for our engagement shoot, our Chinese tea ceremony, and our wedding day — and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out! The photos are absolutely stunning, and the turnaround time was impressively fast. For our engagement shoot, we didn’t have the best weather or lighting, but Jen somehow made everything look like a dream in the photos. My husband is generally shy in front of the camera, but Jen made us feel so comfortable by giving us gentle direction and posing suggestions that felt natural. She captured every moment so beautifully and effortlessly — we’re so grateful to have had her document such special memories!

Jen provided everything we could have wanted in the way of our official wedding photographic historian. She was organized, and provided us guidance on what we needed. She was pleasant, and made everyone feel at ease about the process both leading up and during the day of the wedding. She set the mood for the various photo shoots to ensure that outcomes were not only artistically composed but also helped bring out the emotions of the wedding party and the guests to ensure photography genuinely captured the energy of the day. Well done. You can't go wrong with Jen Phillips.

Jen and her team were so fun to work with and did an amazing job capturing our day! Jen was so helpful in the planning process and made everyone feel comfortable as she captured incredible photos of us and our guests. She is so sweet and fun - you will love getting to work with her!

She is an incredible photographer - she has a gift for capturing your personality, excitement, and joy! She delivered the full gallery of photos quickly - every single photo was beautiful! We would highly recommend Jen & her team for all your photography needs!

Jen is incredible at what she does! We cannot recommend her enough. She is a consummate professional and incredibly responsive, adaptive, calm, and amazing to work with. We worked with Jen for our engagement photo shoot (which was postponed countless times due to the pandemic) and our rehearsal dinner and wedding (which was also postponed). Throughout the entire process (nearly 2 years of planning) she worked to understand and realize our photography vision. We can't wait to work with her again. All of her photography is beautiful but we are particular fans of her black & whites and how she can capture the magic and vibe of your special day with ease.

We worked with Jen and her associate Jenna for our wedding and had an excellent experience. Jen was very involved throughout the entire process and Jenna was our day of photographer. Both of them were so easy and nice to work with! Very professional and smooth process. Jen puts a special touch on everything and goes the extra mile. She has a great process to order an album and is very patient and helpful in getting through all of the details. Our photos are magic and we had a great experience! Highly recommend.

Jen is wonderful! From our first introductory call through photo delivery, Jen was incredibly easy to work with, accommodating, responsive, flexible, friendly, and most importantly, a great photographer! Jen took engagement photos for us and shot our small (26 person) wedding. Jen was really helpful with the planning process, she weighed in on location suggestions for our engagement shoot and advised on vendors for our wedding. When it came time for the engagement photos, a terrible wind storm was in the forecast. Jen was incredible flexible and happily rescheduled for a few days later. She even gave us her expert opinion about which day would be best after reviewing the forecast. On our wedding day, Jen went above and beyond the duties of a photographer (she helped bustle my dress, she helped talk to the venue staff to resolve minor issues, etc.). I am so glad Jen was by our side! We love the photos Jen took and are so happy Jen was the one to capture our memories on our special day!

There are not many events more nerve-wracking than your wedding day, but the day will be gone in an instant. What remains are the memories and pictures of that glorious day. So, what you want is perfection in your photographs. Jen makes that happen. From the very beginning she made us feel comfortable. She listened, understood what we wanted, and we felt so confident that she would follow through with all our wishes. Day of, she made us so comfortable and at ease. She helped us relax and we knew we were in good hands. There’s just nothing like it when you hire a professional. She was everywhere at once and you hardly noticed her. How did she do that? I don’t know, but our photos are gorgeous. She cares about you and your happiness. She knows what works and makes it happen. She becomes part of your family. She considers us family for life. We are so grateful we hired Jen and you shouldn’t hesitate. Hire her NOW!

Jen is an incredible photographer, and we are SO happy we had her for our wedding! She was very prompt and helpful in all communications during the planning process. Due to covid, we postponed our wedding and then had to change the venue. She was so flexible and kind amidst all of these changes! The day of the wedding, she arrived right on time. I normally feel so awkward getting my picture taken, but I felt totally at ease with Jen. Our pictures turned out even better than I could have imagined! The posed photos are of course beautiful, but she also captured some candid moments so perfectly! We received a preview of 75 photos one week after the wedding, and the full online gallery 3 weeks after. We could not be happier with the experience we had Jen and give her our highest recommendation!

I just had the absolute pleasure of working with Jen on my wedding. Being a wedding planner, I have worked with many, many photographers over the years, but when it came time to plan my own wedding, I knew immediately I wanted to work with Jen. I don't need to tell you that she's utterly talented. Her photos clearly show that. In fact there are many photographers that are extremely talented, so let me share with you what sets Jen apart from the other professional photographers in the area. First off, it's her personality. Jen is super organized, professional, kind and most importantly, fun! Your photographer is the vendor that you will spend the most time with on your wedding. You want to feel relaxed, calm and happy, otherwise it will show in your photos. Jen sets the tone, keeps things light and fun, all while capturing beautiful photos - both posed and candids. But what really sets Jen apart is the amount of detail and planning she does with you before the wedding day. To be totally honest, I wasn't looking forward to taking the various formal family photos before the wedding, but because Jen had a focused shot list and knew exactly what photos I wanted and who was expected to be in them, the process was so smooth and super quick. It was absolutely painless, in fact, it was fun! I have first hand witnessed the photographers who do not do the pre-planning that Jen does, and it's a mess on the wedding day. So much time is wasted looking for Aunt Sally or tracking down a groomsman to left to go to the bathroom when he was needed for photos etc. Jen's experience and organization keeps the process streamlined, leaving you more time to party with your guests. And of course your photos will be stunning as well! Thank you Jen! I feel so fortunate you were my wedding photographer!
