Competent, professional, ideal!

My siblings and I retained Jenifer to photograph our father's second wedding. Both bride and groom were not "naturals" at posing and very nervous and self conscious about their age, but wanted classic wedding photos. Jenifer was professional, polite, and efficient. We haven't gotten the full album yet, but what we have so far is superb.

5 stars is not enough!

Not sure where to begin with our experience with Jen Rutherford Photography. Jen is professional, kind, punctual, attentive, thoughtful, unbelievably talented and patient (very), the list is endless. Jen goes above and beyond to make you feel calm and comfortable in front of the camera, and it truly shows in her pictures. We first used Jen for our engagement photos, and we were blown away by her work product, they were stunning. We couldn’t wait for her to shoot our wedding, and from the teasers she sent us, they are breathtaking! We can’t wait to lay our eyes on the whole album because the teasers left us speechless. We would choose Jen Rutherford a thousand times over and will continue to do so for all of life’s most important and special moments. Thank you, Jen, for forever capturing our beautiful love story!

Amazing experience and beautiful photos!

We had a great experience working with Jennifer for our wedding pictures! She is organized, professional, and easy to work with. Before the wedding, she sent along a detailed photo timeline and iterated on it several times to make sure it covered all the photos we wanted and that we had enough time to get everything done. She and the second photographer were efficient and unobtrusive and ensured that we didn’t miss any of the photos we had planned. Our guests also appreciated how she took the time to go to each table and make sure that all couples and groups had a picture.

And we could not be happier with how the photos turned out! Jennifer took a great mixture of formal and candid photos and captured so many special moments from the wedding. We are so glad we hired her and will treasure the photos forever.
