About

Jennifer McMenamin Photography is a boutique, custom studio specializing in artistic-documentary coverage of weddings as well as engagement, maternity, newborn and family portraits. Jennifer brings to her photography an artistic eye, an unobtrusive presence and more than a decade of experience telling people’s stories as a newspaper reporter and a photographer. She recognizes the time, care and attention that couples pour into planning the small details of their wedding day – the bouquets, the table cards, the favors – and makes sure to document those details.

She also knows that the most flattering and natural images are captured when couples are simply enjoying their day, unaware that they are being photographed. As such, Jennifer captures genuine moments and produces beautiful pictures that reflect the joy, spontaneity and spirit of her clients and their special occasions.

It’s a job that Jennifer loves -- and one that she takes extremely seriously. She still gets goosebumps listening to a beautiful set of vows or witnessing and documenting the pure, unbridled emotion of a wedding day. Video is nice and family snapshots certainly have their place. But nothing compares to beautifully composed photographs that capture real moments from a wedding day. Nothing will help you remember how you were feeling at a particular moment in time the way a still shot does. Jennifer is thrilled and humbled every time a pair of clients entrust her with such an important part of their history together.

Her work has appeared on the cover of Baltimore Weddings magazine and has been published by Washingtonian Bride & Groom, The Knot and Baltimore magazines, Style Me Pretty, The New York Times weddings section and The Baltimore Sun. She works primarily in the Washington-Baltimore area but is more than happy to travel wherever her work takes her. Jennifer lives in her hometown of Baltimore with her two daughters, her partner and her partner's two sons. They are all very well photographed!

Couldn’t Be Happier

Jennifer photographed my husband and my wedding in July 2023. Not only are we beyond pleased with our photos, but she was also so lovely to work with. She was professional, personable, and very familiar with the industry. She was very organized and easy to communicate with. She kept us informed throughout the wedding planning process. From engagement shoots, to our wedding- she made the photography experience feel natural and flow smoothly. She even took the time to learn both my husband and my family members names before the wedding. Our families still comment on how impressed they are and how personable she was. She truly captured the love and joy we felt on our wedding day. We couldn’t be happier or thank her enough.

the BEST wedding photographer!!

Where to begin... Jennifer was the photographer for my husband and my April 2023 wedding. Before that, she was the photographer for my sister's two weddings (one small, intimate ceremony at our parents' house during peak pandemic in 2020, and again at the Baltimore zoo for their 1 year vow renewal ceremony in 2021). The only thing I was 100% certain about when planning my wedding (besides my husband) was that I wanted to hire Jennifer. Not only was she wonderful to work with each time - professional, efficient, organized, and fun - but her work is absolutely gorgeous. My husband and I (and our entire family) were thrilled when Jennifer confirmed that she was able to photograph our wedding in Bucks County, PA. Besides the traditional photos, I also asked her specifically to take pictures of our wedding flowers, because I was extremely jealous of the photos she had taken for my sister, and I knew she would capture the bright colors and tiny details.

Well, the day of the wedding came and there was torrential rain for almost the entire 9 hours that Jennifer was with us. This didn’t phase Jennifer one bit - she managed to scope out the best covered spots for posed pictures and still captured all the beautiful flowers and greenery the venue had. She made my husband and me feel comfortable, beautiful, and at ease. Additionally, Jennifer’s documentary-style and candid shots illustrate the joy and love that we felt for each other, as well as the fun that our guests were having… looking at the pictures it seems like she was literally everywhere at once! Her work speaks for itself and is bold, beautiful, and comprehensive. She sent a “preview” of pictures only 2 weeks afterwards, and the entire set two months after. It was an amazingly quick turnaround and the work is more than we could have hoped. I cannot recommend Jennifer’s work enough. Thank you so much Jennifer for capturing our day!!

Better than we even hoped for!

My wife and I both agree Jennifer was the best vendor we worked with during the whole wedding experience. She understood exactly the vibe we wanted with our pictures and gave us an absolute gem of a photo gallery that we still can't take our eyes off six months later. We wanted a very friendly, warm, candid style of photography and Jennifer was able to deliver exactly that. She was the consummate professional during the wedding day itself and was able to direct people in and out of photos with speed and efficiency, and she knew exactly how to get kids to smile nicely. We never noticed her or felt like she was in the way, but she was still able to capture our wedding day in a full and complete form. We would highly, highly recommend to anyone.
