Awesome personality and great to work with! I would have really liked to see more artistic pictures and have my photographer make sure I got the shots I needed. Many delays in getting my photos and for both the wedding and engagement session.

I am in awe at Jennifer's work. Two sets of my friends who have checked out the preview photos have been brought to tears. One set was not at the wedding and the other friend was the one who came late. Her talent reaches into the hearts of people. I am more than tickled that I found her online and that my daughter and her husband met with Jennifer right away and chose her to photograph this special event. All the reviews on her website reflected exactly her mode of working at the event. She was stealthy and so professional, yet she is personable and so artistic in her movements and approach. I really appreciated that about her. I also can not say enough about the photos she posted as a preview. We are getting choked up all over again. They are more than documentation, they are a capturing the essence of people and their spirits. Her sense of composition is indescribable.

If forced to pick absolutely just ONE favorite photo, I would say that it's one of the photos during our first dance. My wife was looking over my shoulder as my cheek rested on hers. She was looking into the camera, but only her eyes were peeking from my shoulder. The happiness she had that day was all in her eyes, and even without seeing the rest of her face, you just know she's smiling a very genuine and happy smile. A perfect capture that only a truly seasoned photographer can make! And as if that wasn't enough, Jenn made masterful use of a remote flash to produce a VERY, VERY dramatic lens flare. I'm a serious photography enthusiast, and I absolutely LOVE her work. My father, who used to be a professional photographer who back in the day and had photography exhibitions in some of the most prestigious art galleries in my home country, was likewise very impressed with her work. That says a lot! We could not have chosen a better photographer to capture the memories of our wedding day.

Jenn is very skilled at not disrupting anything. She blends in very well. At times we even forget we have a photographer busy taking pictures! She also has a great eye and trigger finger for "the moment" (and there were A LOT of those that night). She's right in the midst of all the action. She caught our relatives wiping the tears from their eyes during the ceremony, our guest twirling her scarf around as she danced (and everybody laughing with her) during the reception, and the fleeting expression of happy surprise on my mother's face when I danced with her, which she kept for less than a second. This, in my humble opinion, exemplifies how truly seasoned a photographer Jenn is. The portraits Jenn produced were also far beyond what we expected (and we had very high expectations, knowing how good she is after seeing her portfolio). Really, you can't go wrong with picking Jenn as the photographer for one of the most important days you'll have in your life.

Oh, and not only that, she saved us from a lot of work that we would have had to do had she not saved us from making a mistake at a crucial moment. When we were signing our marriage certificate, she told my bride that she sh/could sign with her new name. We both never even considered that! It would have been a LOT of work to have to correct a mistake like that. And during the cake cutting, seeing as how my wife and I were lost as to how to execute it, she quietly told us that the best way to go about it would be for my wife to support the slice of cake using the spatula, and for me to use the long knife to "sandwich" it from the top. Cake disaster avoided. :D I guess what I'm trying to say it, not only do you get a person to take photos with Jenn, you also get all the experience she's had from all the weddings she's done, and she'll very unobstrusively step in at the right time with practical advice if she sees an opportunity to make your wedding day even better. ;)

Jenn is a natural at making people comfortable. She just has that magic touch. There's no other way to say it. My wife and I are very reserved people, I'm not photogenic at all, and I dislike smiling for a camera, but she just made us so at ease that I didn't even notice her working her magic. I was really surprised to see that I can actually look good in a photo! Also, she would just make us laugh with a joke, comment or observation, and *click*, a picture was taken with the most sincere and beautiful smile you'd be able to make. At times, I even thought she was just making adjustments on her camera. Unbeknownst to us, she was capturing the best candids we've ever had taken of us. All in all, it's a combination of Jenn's natural affability, tremendous talent and considerable experience that made all the difference. We could not have asked for more from our wedding, and picking Jenn as our photographer had a lot to do with it. Even today, weeks after the wedding, my wife and I look at the wonderful photos that Jenn took and can't help but smile as the memories of that happy day come back to us. :)

Book It. Immediately. If Not, Sooner.

Seriously. The pictures were so candid and so unique - it make them so special! I'm pretty sure every wall in my house will have one of the pictures because I cannot get enough of how amazing they are. My husband is not photogenic at all and I have the most amazing photos of him, I can't thank her enough for this.

Jenn is fantastic with candids! She did a phenomenal job going around and capturing the day. Even for 'posed' pictures she didn't instruct us on what to do, she wanted for the best moment and captured when my husband and i were really enjoying the moment. There are also some SWEET dancing pictures! Jenn took care of it, she knew what to do and didn't have to ask or bug me about anything. If I didn't like being around her so much, I would have forgot she was even there!

We got the sweet and simple and added a few hours of coverage. We have an album, 8 hours of coverage, one photography (why get two when one does such a good job?). She had a TON of different options of packages and was super flexible about creating your own.

One month later and people are still talking about how laid back and cool Jenn is - that says a lot. Unlike other weddings I've been in, Jenn didn't boss us around - she went with the flow and let people be them selves. I cannot stand photographers who orchestrate every moment of the picture -- hand here, step forward -- how is that natural? What Jenn does is a true gift.

Wonderful Experience! Highly Recommended!

There were so many pictures that Jennifer took that I loved, however, one of my favorites is one she took of my husband and I in a big open field, the wind was blowing my veil and the fall colors were gorgeous! Captured the moment perfectly. Jennifer was very time-conscious! Even though pictures started later than scheduled, we were still back for the reception early! She took many priceless candid shots, and the portraits were stunning.

Jennifer was the only photographer, but she did such an awesome job, she would not have needed any help with the beautiful pictures that she was able to take. She was very organized and has a great eye for those perfect shots. Jennifer was very outgoing and made taking pictures fun and exciting! Our whole wedding party enjoyed her and had a great time with pictures! Family was comfortable and really liked her as well.

My husband and I have so many favorites from the proofs that we received from Jennifer last night. I don't think that we could narrow it down. All of them are our favorites! :) Jennifer was AMAZING all day. I was talking to my husband as we were browsing our photos, and my most common comment was that I had no idea that there was a photographer there for most of the shots. Not to mention, before the ceremony, I was having an issue with my acid reflux and Jennifer took the time to ask the kitchen for some milk for me! Definitely not in her job deion, but she helped anyway!

Jennifer did a great job with making sure everyone was comfortable. My entire family is very goofy, and Jennifer fit in well. She was willing to work with us to do the shots that we wanted, and snapped pictures whenever people were having fun! :)

Unbelievable... Absolutely fantastic!

I'm trying to think if I have a favorite photo...there are so many to choose from! I love them all for different reasons! She captured every detail of our awesome day. Our wedding album is absolutely gorgeous, she did a wonderful job of putting it together. We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. She also made a guest book of our engagement pictures for people to sign at the reception. We received so many compliments on it; many people said they couldn't wait to see our wedding pictures because our engagement pictures were so awesome! It was a great idea!

Jennifer captured all the important moments of the day, many of them without us even knowing. She definitely has an artistic eye and made us feel at ease the whole day. She is extremely talented taking all kinds of pictures - candids, action shots, and portraits. Once the dancing started, Jen opened up the "crazy booth"! She brought some fun props from home, a couple studio lights and started snapping away as groups of people lined up to get their goofy, fun pictures taken! It was a huge hit, people loved it and are still talking about it.

Jennifer has lots of packages to choose from. She sat down with me and listened to what I was looking for in a photographer. We decided to have her all day! This included a 2 hour engagement session, unlimited time and stops on our wedding day, 3 beautiful coffee table books (one for us and each of our families - which turned out amazing!) a disc with all the pictures and printing release, a proof book of all the images, including B &W, 300 thank you photo cards/envelopes, and a 1 hour portrait session 1 year from now! We couldn't have asked for anything else!

We got to know Jennifer during our engagement session. Nic had not had a chance to meet her until then and was shocked at how easy and comfortable she made us feel. The day of the wedding I received numerous compliments from the groomsmen as to how painless the pictures were! Our families loved her and are so happy with all our pictures. She sat with friends at dinner and they all had great things to say about her. Jennifer is so easy going, but yet professional. She did a fantastic job, and we are so happy to have found her!

Best wedding photographer, EVER. Book her today!
Honestly, we can't choose a single favorite from the images we have received. Jennifer managed to capture the essence and spirit of the entire wedding and every photo is a memory of the amazing celebration. Each image brings to life a moment, a memory, of that special night. We refuse to keep these amazing images in a stuffy photo album and plan to openly showcase the photos so that we can remember our wedding forever!

Jennifer is amazing (understatement!) The way she works is seamless - she is so professional and friendly. She was treated as an honored guest and friend at our wedding. As a fellow photographer I was nervous entrusting my photos to just anyone - I literally couldn't be happier with my images. From candids, to action shots, to portraits, the proof is in my images - Jennifer is a talented and creative photographer!

Because we were having a small, intimate wedding of under 30 guests as well as being on a tight/small budget, we honestly didn't think we were going to be able to afford a photographer. . . then we found Jennifer. She listened to our wants and needs and helped us come up with a solution to fit our budget. In the end we decided to book Jennifer for a 5 hour time slot and receive our images on CD with full print capabilities. With that said, my new husband and I have decided to book Jennifer to photograph us for some other occasions in the near future!

Jennifer is the most laid back and friendly professional out there - so much so we were honored when she agreed to sit with us at our head table. While my in-laws may have been getting on my nerves, Jennifer took it in stride, talking and joking with my guests - fitting in seamlessly. We can never thank Jennifer enough for the amazing job she did on our wedding photos!

Amazing....just amazing.

There were so many awesome images from the day - that choosing one is a little hard. If I had to narrow it down it would be the one of Aaron and I kissing under my veil or us standing in front of the brick wall.

Her eye for detail and catching those split-second moments created some of the best pictures we have. She captured subtle, sweet moments between Aaron and I - but also caught us being our goofy selves. Our portrait shots and those of our wedding party were beautiful. The day was amazing and Jennifer was able to catalog it on film for us, so we'll always be able to look back and enjoy.

Amazing is a word I often use to describe Jennifer Brindley. From the moment I met with her, I knew she was supposed to photograph my wedding - and she didn't disappoint. On the big day, Jennifer arrived early and was ready and excited to start shooting. Her enthusiasm put my camera-shyness at ease and her sense of humor was a perfect fit for our group. She got along exceptionally well with the entire wedding party and just as well with all of the guests. I would absolutely recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a photographer.

She has definite skill and a friendly, inviting attitude. Yay JBe!!

We are JBe Converts.
When we first began planning our wedding, we weren't sure that we wanted to spend money on hiring a photographer. Looking back on our experiences with Jennifer and the results she gave us, we are so happy that we didn't just ask a friend or relative to take some pictures of the day. The pictures Jennifer took beautifully captured the spirit of our wedding, and we will treasure them for the rest of our lives.
There were so many pictures that we just loved - it's really hard to pick one.

We were lucky to meet with Jennifer again the morning after our wedding to do a photo shoot on a beach. She snapped one of our favorites while we thought she was simply adjusting her lighting - we didn't know she was taking pictures, so the photo is really natural and highlights a special part of our relationship. We didn't know we looked at each other like that! One of Jennifer's great gifts lies in her ability to capture fleeting yet significant moments, giving us the chance to see through her perceptive eyes.

Jennifer handled a wide range of photos with discretion and expertise. Her presence was never intrusive. She took beautiful, tasteful pictures of me getting dressed and then switched gears at the end of the ceremony to direct portraits of up to 30 people (including children) at once. Her professionalism in both situations, as well as in all the situations in between, really set everyone at ease and yielded wonderful results. Jennifer can get the perfect shot quickly, which allowed us to get through all of the formal portraits we had requested (and more) without feeling rushed. Jennifer also designed a book including highlights from both shoots (primarily the wedding).

We are really glad that she was the only photographer included in our photo package, as we loved her work and wouldn't have wanted to trust our day to a different photographer. We've had so many comments from family and friends about how much they appreciated Jennifer's easy-going yet professional style. My mom said we couldn't have asked for a better experience with a photographer. Jennifer's work with candid photos is exceptional - her relaxed manner encourages everyone to be at ease and have fun. She does a great job of blending into the background without missing a moment. Jennifer is also really easy to talk to, very friendly and not at all intimidating. Though much of her work is to beautifully document the events of the day as they unfold, she also has creative ideas for posed portraits while encouraging her subjects to be themselves. It's obvious that she loves what she does, and her enthusiasm for her work is infectious, amplifying the joy and excitement of the day.

You'll fall in love with her photographs!

I think my favorite photo was when she caught my reflection in the mirror as I was walking down the aisle with my dad. That or the one of the flower girl sitting pensively in the chair where we removed the garter. I loved the ones with my groom before the wedding, too. It's really hard to pick one. She was very subtle and unobtrusive. I think she has a true talent at candids, action shots and portraits: a photojournalist of the highest stature. She captures moments that are so subtle that most people watching probably missed them. She makes it all look beautiful, too.

I got a DVD of the pictures and an album. It was surprisingly reasonable. My father said that the price would have been worth it even if we only got the 20 pictures she sent the night of the wedding. She was amazing. She was very patient with us, even when I got tired and fussy at the end. She was playful and sweet to all. I've been at weddings where the photographer kind of ordered people around. That is not her style. I was surprised at how she basically worked with whatever we did, and made it wonderful. I'm still not sure how she did it!

I would recommend Jennifer to anyone.
I think my favorite is of me and my husband sitting outside, on a park bench in front of a beautiful golden fall tree. We're kissing and laughing and just paying attention to each other.
Jennifer struck a great balance between being personable and discreet. She did a good job directing us in the posed photos and keeping our attention on her. She has a great personality and is very exciting and fun to work with so it was easy to focus on her and her direction. However, she was also unobtrusive when she needed to be. For example, I have no recollection of her taking photographs at all during the ceremony. She wasn't distracting at all when I focused on the ceremony or when I was having a little moment with my husband.

I found her prices to be extremely reasonable, and a great value. Her style and the quality of the pics were similar to photographers we looked at who easily cost double.

Jennifer just has an awesome, outgoing, great personality. I am not a huge fan of being photographed so I really wanted to make sure I liked my photographer and felt comfortable. She made me feel gorgeous and I had a lot fun during the shoots, which I wasn't expecting! She was very comfortable interacting with family members and wasn't at all shy about getting everyone where they needed to be and when, yet she was always friendly, never pushy or overbearing. She has a great sense of humor and I kind of felt like a good friend was taking the pictures. The experience was totally enjoyable - and as a bonus, I have wonderful pictures of a great day. I even got a little teary when I first looked at them.
