Fabulous Photographer.

Jennifer was nothing short from the best! From the time we inquired all the up to the day of the wedding she was fantastic. Extremely knowledgeable and flexible and informative. Our wedding pictures were beautiful and she captured every moment we wanted. If you’re looking for a great photographer to capture your wedding day she’s is the one to go to

Best elopement photos ever!

Once my wife and I decided we were going to elope - we had no idea how to actually do it or if we could pull it off in the timeline we were hoping to (in less than a month!) We spoke to Jennifer over zoom and she really took the time to ask us questions about what kind of elopement we wanted and explain how her packages worked. Jennifer made a lot of incredible suggestions and helped shape our big day for exactly what we wanted (at the time we didn't even know what we wanted) but now we couldn't have imagined our day any different or without Jenn! She customized our day to what we wanted, location planned and gave us countless suggestions and checklists to help us along the way. The day of - the weather wasn't perfect, but Jenn made us feel so comfortable and took the most gorgeous photos. We're obsessed with them and so glad we have so many memories and pictures to share with our friends and family who weren't there. Jenn truly loves what she does and it shows in her passion for photography and adventure planning. We had our dream day all thanks to Jenn - highly recommend her for anyone considering an elopement or adventure photography session.

Jennifer Whalen far exceeded our expectations!

After speaking with several Joshua Tree elopement photographers, we are SO glad that we chose Jennifer Whalen Photography! She is a true adventure wedding photographer at heart and was able to help us plan the most perfect and stress free elopement! She knew the ins and outs of the location, permits, timing, weather and truly brought everything together seamlessly which allowed us to be in the moment and enjoy our special day. In addition to the planning aspect, we LOVE how all of our photos and video came out. We are so grateful she was able to capture every detail and moment while we were able to just take it all in. She went above and beyond to capture every moment and is truly such a talented wedding photographer! In addition to her talent, she is super personable which is important because your photographer is part of your wedding day and Jennifer made the experience so much fun and truly such a memorable experience for us. Thank you Jennifer!

Incredible!

Jennifer is absolutely amazing! We are thrilled that we came across her on Instagram. She was with me every step of the way with planning every detail for our micro wedding during the pandemic. Jennifer and Dan captured our day perfectly. We were so pleased with how quickly we got our edited pictures and completed video! I HIGHLY recommend them for any type of wedding. We now have a video and pictures that are so beautiful and it feels like we can relive the best day of our lives every time we see the pictures and watch the video💕

Jennifer captured the Emotion of our Special Day!

As the grooms Mom I found Jennifer captured the true emotion of the day. Her candid photos were awesome and ordering my personal album was extremely easy and affordable. While composing my book I had emailed a question and Jennifer applied immediately on a weekend. Superlative service!

Hands down, best wedding planning decision to choose Jen & Dan!

My husband and I felt we couldn't have made a better decision in choosing Jen and Dan for our engagement session and wedding photography. My first meeting with Jen and Dan, I was blown away. She had put together a timeline for our wedding day by that evening and emailed it to us. I knew from that moment that they were it!

Our engagement session location was at Elysian Park, their suggestion, of course. And we were amazed with the variety of photos we received from that shoot. Our wedding had to be postponed several times being another 2020 wedding and all. And Jen came in to save the day, yet again. Thanks to her and her team, we were able to find a new venue that accommodated our smaller than originally planned wedding. She was pretty much our wedding coordinator with all her knowledge, expertise, and recommendations. The wedding day went smoothly and our photos were epic!! I highly highly recommend Jen, Dan, and their team! They are such a cohesive and professional team. We hope to work with them again in the future!

Look no further, hire Jen and Dan!

Jennifer and Dan are truly the nicest, most professional team you could ask for. I hired them for our wedding but due to COVID, the wedding date changed 3 times. Honesty by the third change I was not excited about the wedding at all but meeting with Jennifer for the final walk through changed everything. She is well networked in the wedding community so she can find a solution to most/if not all problems you are experiencing because of COVID. Cannot thank her and Dan enough for caring about our special day. It's more than an event for her, she genuinely cares about your wedding. 10/10

Detail Oriented, Responsive, Beautiful Photos!

We got married during COVID and we felt so lost before we met Jennifer. She made our virtual wedding very memorable and stress free! Jennifer was an amazing planner! She went through every detail step by step and shes really good at what she does. She responded to all my emails/texts very quickly! And most importantly, she took such beautiful photos of us!! Thank you Jennifer!!

GORGEOUS Photos, personable, professional

I cannot recommend Jennifer and Dan enough. We had to totally change our wedding plans due to COVID at the last minute and we found Jennifer through an ad. We ended up having a wedding with no one but ourselves, an officiant, and Jennifer and Dan. We thought the day was going to feel sad, but they did such an incredible job capturing our day, that we are elated. Dans' video work and editing is some of the best. Jennifer's attitude and knowledge made the day easy, and she did a great job posing us and creating so many beautiful moments. We had to replan our wedding at the last minute, and we're so happy we found Jennifer.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
