We hired Jen to take our engagement photos out in Joshua Tree. She straight up SLAYED every photo, spent so much time with us, and was so fun to work with. I cannot recommend her enough. I say this as an art director who works with photographers on photo shoots all the time at my job... hire this woman! You won't regret it.

Jenn is a fantastic photographer!
Prior to our wedding, my husband had the pleasure of working with Jennifer on multiple photography assignments. As a photo editor and producer, his creative team hired Jenn to shoot many of their assignments because of her attention to detail, positive energy and creative eye. Jenn showed the same enthusiasm, professionalism and creativity for our wedding.
Months before the wedding, Jenn sat down with my husband and me, and she helped us draft a schedule of events that really helped us visualize how the big day would go. This is where all of her experience shined because she thought of details we had not yet considered. On the day of the wedding, my husband ran into Jenn scouting the venue early in the morning as she was working on familiarizing herself with her surroundings. We really appreciated how she went above and beyond to know her settings so she could come prepared to shoot. And, our guests loved her table races idea — it was such a fun way to kick off the reception.
Jenn turned around the entire take from our wedding very quickly, and we were thrilled with how the photos turned out. She is a very skilled editor and has a wonderful aesthetic. I knew it would be difficult for my photographer husband to find a wedding photographer who he trusted, but we are both so glad that Jenn shot our wedding. She will make your vision come true and is an absolute pleasure to work with.

Professional, responsive and easy to work with!
Wedding planning can be stressful, and my fiance and I did a lot of research to pick vendors. We knew photography was an area we didn't want to skimp on, yet we still wanted to stay within a reasonable budget. The memories of the day are so important, so we had to find someone we trusted. We researched many vendors on wedding wire and came across Espresso because we really loved their wedding videos. We exchanged some emails and we had tons of questions, and they were always responsive. We met with Jennifer and Dan at a local coffee shop. We liked their friendly personalities and how well they seemed to work together in answering our questions. Jennifer is the photographer and Dan does the videography.
After we booked them, we exchanged many more messages and Jennifer was always responsive. She also agreed to meet us at the venue during the final walk through in order to scout the location. It worked well because she was able to talk to the venue manager to clear up some questions and we also got to walk on the grounds with her to get some photo ideas.
Fast forward to the day of wedding and Jennifer and Dan were on top of their game. They worked together so well, and alternated between photo and video without missing a beat. I could tell they both had their visions and were very focused on getting all the shots they needed. With the help of our planner, we had a very detailed timeline including the names of all of the family to be photographed, so that really made the formal family shots go much more smoothly. Jennifer did a great job wrangling all the guests, and also of taking the special shot we wanted of all of the guests right after the ceremony. This is where my new husband and I walked down to the end of the aisle, followed by the wedding party and immediate family, and all the guests turned around, and Jennifer got on a ladder to take the group shot. They also have this fun photo op called "table races" where they have us run to each table right after the grand entrance, accompanied by fast paced music. This was a great way to get those photos with each table done within the first 5 minutes of the reception! After looking through the photos (there were almost 1,000!), I saw so many wonderful shots of the memories of that day, many of them candid, and realize that we probably didn't even notice they were there capturing those shots, but that's a testament to just how unobtrusive they were.
Jennifer was able to get us all of the photos and the raw video files within 2 weeks after the wedding. We are told the edited highlight video will take couple of months, and we can't wait for that!
