Incredible Experience!

Jen was such a delight to work with! She did a phenomenal job of making us feel comfortable and her shots are as beautiful as the ones highlighted on her website. We also coordinated everything from a different state and she was very communicative throughout the whole process and made us feel assured that the day would go flawlessly (it did!). Overall, I am SO glad that we were able to book with Jen. I would highly highly recommend her to other couples.

Best Wedding Photographer!!!

I cannot say enough how amazing and wonderful Jen and her team were! We hired Jen to shoot our wedding at The Temple for Preforming Arts and absolutely love our wedding album! She is very talented, well organized, and has an excellent eye for detail. Leading up to the wedding she had prepared a 'shot list' for us so that no family/special photos we have requested go missed. I appreciated her professionalism and going above and beyond for us! Our guests were raving about the slideshow she had displayed during the reception of fully edited photos we took that day... it was so impressive! I've never seen that before at a wedding!

thank you so much Jen for making our day that much more special!

- Matt & Justyna

Jen is i n c r e d i b l e

I wanted a classic, timeless style for our photos - one where we wouldn't look back in 20 years and cringe. Based on her portfolio and other reviews, I knew Jen was the right choice for us. When we got our engagement photos back, they quickly exceeded my already high expectations, and our wedding photos are just another level. After seeing the photos, a smattering of comments from our friends/family include "magazine-worthy", "truly the most beautiful wedding photos I've ever seen", and "these make me believe in love again".

Also, not only is she an incredible photographer, she's a wonderful person. Super organized, super kind, and super-efficient - she even had our 1800+ wedding photos back to us within a month. We love her and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any couple.

Love working with Jen!

Jennifer Weinman is an amazing professional who takes the most wonderful photos. Not only have I worked with her for many gorgeous weddings, she recently took my headshots (see just one of a bazillion gorgeous pictures she took!). She made me feel like a million bucks! I feel like she perfectly captured my style and made me feel so comfortable the entire time. I never panicked about what to do because she was telling me how to stand and sit and where to place my hands. It was so helpful! As a wedding planner — I love her communication, editing style, and of course, her as a human. All our couples have been very happy with her services. Book with her today! You won't regret it!

LOVE them!

We had an AMAZING experience with Jennifer and Beth - absolutely could not recommend them more! They were both fantastic to work with and we felt so lucky to be able to have them photograph our wedding. One of the things I loved most was their passion for photography and capturing moments. They aren't just great photographers, they are great people and they definitely made our day less stressful and more fun! Thanks Beth and Jen - you guys are the best! If I could do it all over again, I would choose you both in a heartbeat!

JWP Bridal Client

Jen and Beth have been great! Jen was my original contact at a bridal shower and she explained everything so well. I am picky when it comes to photogrpahy having some knowledge of it. I love that their photos are very timeless and they don’t use the filters etc. that will eventually become dated. We chose Beth to do our wedding photos and our engagement session was fun and relaxed. Our photos turned out great! We definitely made the right choice going with JWP.

JWP was our best decision!

We recommend JWP 15/10‼️ My husband and our families still talk about how amazing our wedding photos are and how amazing Jen and Beth were on our wedding day!! Jen honestly tripled as our photographer, our friend, and our wedding planner!! She helped so much with our timeline and she is SO knowledgeable about all things “day of”! She constantly makes you feel at home and comfortable. Not to mention her photographs are so beautiful and timeless!! She’s the best! We also got our photos so quickly, including a beautiful wedding album included in our package, which I have never seen other photographers do. Absolutely love Jennifer and her team! ❤️

Mother of bride

As the Mother of the Bride and finding out that a long time family "friend" and professional photographer had dumped my daughter and her fiance after taking some of engagement photos but not sending anything but 2 photos, I was in a panic. The wedding was in less than 5 months away! Photography was not in our budget at all add the "friend" was gifting it. Plus with the timeline, most were already booked. However, after posting on a local FB site, Jennifer reached out and I could not have been happier!!! She saved the day!!! My daughter and future son in law were in grad school about 65 miles away and the only day that available to do a few engagement photos was a frigid (I believe it was -20° with horrific wind chills) Saturday. Jennifer took it all with stride and not only created some amazing shots, but just was so pleasant to be around!!!! The day of the wedding was equally troublesome as we had a snow storm and 18 inches of snow fell. But she was the ultimate professional and it was a magical day!!!! I have recommended her so many times and everyone loves her and her work!!! I not only got amazing photos, I now have a great new friend!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
