The absolute best photographer

I cannot say enough good things about Jenn as a photographer. Her attention to detail is out of this world, and not to mention making sure she captures every detail that it is important to the Bride. She puts in so much pride in her work and it really shows. Jenn helped me in so many others way other than just being my photographer. Being that I wasn’t from California, I asked her for many referrals and she was always there to help me even when she didn’t have to. She’s much more than a photographer and really does everything to ensure the bride has the most spectacular day! I cannot recommend her enough! I’m OBSESSED with my wedding photos!

The photos you’re dreaming of

Jenn is an amazing photographer and a wonderful person to work with! We were so lucky to have her as our wedding photographer and for our engagement photos. She is confident and knowledgeable and made us feel at ease during the whole process. When there is so much to plan and stress about for a wedding, Jenn made it easy. She takes a personal approach in getting to know us as a couple rather than just clients. She eased our nerves and knew exactly how to prompt us to get beautiful and genuine photos. On top of that she is pet friendly and we were able to get photos with our pup too!
When there was an almost disaster with a bottle of champagne on our wedding morning, Jenn went to the rescue and shielded my veil at the expense of her being showered in champagne. She made sure we stayed on schedule and was flexible to what we wanted. Her assistant on our wedding day was also so kind and easy to work with. We have so many great photos from moments that we didn’t even realize they were capturing. The photos came back to us so quickly and there were A TON! We are truly so grateful.

Incredible Wedding Photography

Wow! Where do I even begin? Jenn is an incredible wedding photographer, and her work is spectacular. Not only is she an amazing photographer, but she is also a wonderful person to be around. She made my husband and I feel so comfortable and confident during both our engagement and wedding photos! She gave great direction to ensure that we felt comfortable and that our photos would turn out beautiful! I look at our wedding photos on a daily basis because I am still so blown away by what Jenn captured. Jenn captured our wedding so beautifully and we will be forever grateful for the amazing memories she was able to capture! Thank you so much Jenn for all you did to produce memories of our favorite day!

Look no further, this is your photographer!

When everyone on the planet has a camera in their pocket and are self-proclaimed photographers, it's difficult to weed through all of that to find that one person who can capture the moment in a way that, when you see that photo, you're instantly transported back to that very moment and feel all the feels! With Jenn as your photographer, that is EVERY photo!

We found Jenn through our wedding planner which says quite a bit about the quality of her work. From our first meeting, Jenn was open, kind, considerate of our needs, and overall, an absolute light in our adventure! She wanted to know us as a couple which inevitably turned into a budding friendship which made us feel comfortable in front of a lens.

We hired Jenn initially for our engagement photos, and after that experience, it was a no brainer that she was the one to capture our big day! Jenn and her team were able to capture moments that we weren't even aware of. One in particular is of my wife's grandfather who has been blind for many decades. Jenn captured a moment where my wife was guiding her grandfather's hand over her dress so that he could "SEE" it. I mean, c'mon, all the feels!

If you are looking for a photographer to capture those once in a lifetime moments, trust in Jenn. She is incredible!

Jenn, THANK YOU! Your eye for the framing and lighting of each shot all while capturing the emotion and presence of your subjects are bar none. Our photos of our wedding day are indescribable and show the art and expertise of your craft! We cannot wait to work with you again for our next adventure! Thank you for being everything we needed!

Jenn is the photographer you want!

A great photographer was one of our highest priorities when we planned our wedding, and we are so happy that we chose Jenn with Dearly Beloved Photography. Jenn was so pleasant to work with and her excitement throughout the process felt as genuine as our own. Her pricing and packages are very reasonable, and we loved getting a highlight preview so quickly after both the engagement shoot and the wedding. She was also flexible with planning our timeline and worked wonders reigning in my very large extended family for photos. She captured amazing photos from every key moment of the day. My husband and I both tend to get awkward when our photos are being taken, but Jenn did an excellent job warming us up and walking us through poses. She had a great eye for locations to take photos at our venue, but she was also happy to work with us if there was something particular we wanted captured. It was honestly so fun doing the engagement shoot with her and we loved hanging out with her all day on our wedding – she truly became a friend to us! Her photos and editing are gorgeous, and we have received endless compliments from friends and family members. They are classic yet whimsical and we are in love with them all! Thank you so much Jenn and Dearly Beloved Photography!

Jenn is the best!

Jenn was super helpful and accommodating throughout the entire process. She made my wife and I feel very comfortable in front of the camera and made sure we felt like the center of attention. The pictures came out amazing and I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

2020-2021 bride

Jen is not only your photographer, she becomes your friend. She's there for you more than I thought a photographer would be. 2020 wedding postponed 3x because of COVID so had a private backyard ceremony August 2020 and postponed the venue celebration to July 2021. Jen was there for me through every up, down, stressor and postponement. She became a friend I cherish greatly and she loves her clients like family. Hard worker, wonderful mama, forever friend. Makes you feel comfortable in a snap. Great response time with communication.🤍🤍🤍

We LOVED working with Jenn as our wedding photographer!!

Like many other couples with weddings in 2020, we had to postpone our wedding to 2021. Jenn was with us every step of the way. When our venue informed us of the need to postpone, Jenn was very understanding and reassured us that she will respect our decision and will make herself available for the new date (which she did!). She checked up on us regularly, and while we couldn't meet again in person, she scheduled a very detailed phone meeting with us to discuss the plan for the photos. Jenn even went out of her way to schedule a time with the venue to see the venue in person prior to the wedding.

All of the photos delivered were BEAUTIFUL and her turnaround time was fantastic! I've already used her photos for many projects like thank you cards, photobooks, prints, gifts. Did I mention she reached out to us to ask if we needed any photos expedited for Father's Day?? We ended up using those photos as Father's Day gifts for our two dads and they absolutely loved it!

If you're looking for a photographer for your special occasions, look no further! We loved working with Jenn and I'm sure you will too.

Thank you for everything Jenn!! We can't wait to work with you again!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
