Totally wonderful experience

Jen was amazing. from the very beginning, she was friendly, helpful, responsive, and professional! She really did go above and beyond- from helping me scope out different locations for our first look, to helping me organize my timeline and any answering any other wedding questions I had (even those not related to photography!), Jen was always there for us. We recently got our photos back and they are beautiful! I sent her a text just to tell her what a huge smile I had on my face looking through them- I honestly could not have been happier. She sends a link so you and your family/friends can view them online- they are beautifully organized and the site is super user friendly and easy to navigate. There is an option to purchase through the site as well which is very convenient. We had such a great experience with Jen, and would absolutely recommend her to anyone else looking for a talented and professional photographer (wedding, or otherwise!). Thanks a million, Jen!

Jenifer will go above and beyond for you!

From our first meeting, Jenifer was super organized and focused on what we wanted from our wedding photos. She had examples of different styles of photos and helped us decide which we wanted. On the wedding day, Jenifer did an amazing job at rounding our family members up so we could have every group photo we wanted (and more!). During the reception, Jenifer got incredible candid shots that we, and our friends, will enjoy for years to come! Overall, if you're looking for a photographer who will put you first and go above and beyond to make your wedding special, then Jenifer is the right person for you!

Highly Recommend Jenifer Rutherford!!

Jenifer is the best in the industry. She was the photographer for my brother's wedding three years ago and I was so excited that she was available for mine! From the engagement shoot to the wedding day, Jenifer was responsive, organized and a joy to work with! If you want someone who will be able to be "stealth" and "get the right shots" throughout the day, you can count on Jenifer. I was so impressed by her day of schedule - we stayed right on track and finished by the start of cocktail hour :) A bonus was that my husband and I were chosen for New York Times weddings and Jenifer's photo of us was featured... I highly recommend her for any wedding or occasion!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
