Great wedding photographer!

Jen was our photographer for our engagement pictures and wedding. We really loved her natural, photojournalism style and we are so happy with our photos. It has been fun looking through the photos of our wedding and reception because she captured the energy and fun of various moments throughout the night!
She is also good at making the posed photos look more natural. We can both be a bit awkward in front of the camera so we were nervous about our engagement photos but Jen was great at finding good locations and poses that turned into lovely pictures.
Jen was easy to work with throughout the planning process, she was very responsive and helpful in creating the timeline and shot list, and kept everything on track (even though I was a bit late getting to the venue, we still finished with some spare time). She also got our final photos back to us very quickly. We definitely recommend Jen!

We had such a great experience working with Jen. She was very quick and efficient, so we able to enjoy our wedding and get great photos at the same time. She also dressed well for the wedding. I was really impressed with how she took control to get all the pictures that we were looking for. I would recommend her to anyone!

Jen was our wedding photographer this past June and she went above and beyond on our special day. My husband and I live in Chicago and Jen was amazing to work with from a distance as we prepared for our San Francisco wedding. She was always willing to jump on a phone conversation with us to go over details and she quickly got back to our emails during the entire planning process.

On the day of our wedding, Jen was a pleasure to work with, we loved her documentary-style photography - this is what drew us to her in the first place. She does an exceptional job capturing those rare special moments that happen throughout the entire wedding day. She was kind and easy to work with during family and couple portraits. My husband and I aren't used to be in front of the camera and she made it easy and an enjoyable experience.

Jen listened to everything we wanted to capture on our wedding day and she got even more than I could imagine. She even updated us throughout the editing process by sending us a few of her favorite shots, which was really exciting to see and share those sneak peaks with our family. We are beyond happy with everything Jen captured on our wedding day - from getting ready to formal couple and family portraits to all of the candid ceremony and reception photos. Jen truly captured the incredible joy of the entire day and I am so happy we were able to work with her.

For anyone planning a wedding, engagement shoot, or other formal events we HIGHLY recommend using Jen for all your photography needs. You will not be disappointed. Thank you, Jen, for being part of our big day and honestly capturing all the beauty and happiness of our wedding day - we now have a solid collection of photos to look back on for years to come.

Jen was a pleasure to work with at our wedding! She was very punctual, worked well with our videographer and was able to handle large family group photos with ease. Jen and her associate, Sarah, both were able to capture photos without being distracting during the ceremony and are both very friendly and easy to work with. Jen got our pictures to us quickly and they were absolutely incredible. I can't recommend her enough!

Jen is a great photographer (just look at her portfolio!), as well as a wonderful individual. She met with us before the wedding day, to talk about what kind of pictures we would like. Then, when it all changed, the venue and the ceremony, she was flexible, supportive, and had a good sense of humor about it all! We loved her photographs and will cherish them always! Thank you Jen!

We loved everything about working with Jen! She was very professional and did a great job of guiding the show and keeping all of our many friends and family on task during pre-ceremony photos. Judging from our engagement photos and from the two preview photos we've received of our wedding thus far, the quality of her photographs is also awesome. I would absolutely recommend her to other brides and grooms without reservation.

Choosing Jennifer as our photographer for our wedding day was the best decision we made. Great communication since our first conversation. Our wedding day was chaotic! But she was there trying to do whatever she could to help us. The photos of our wedding beat our expectations, she was able to capture all the love and happiness of our wedding, everyone who saw our pictures loved them! Thank you Jen for being awesome and capturing such amazing images of the best day of our lives!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
