About

To me, wedding photography is about documenting every emotion and in-between moment of your day, so you can look back and relive your wedding for years to come. Trust me, I love a good #instaworthy shot just as much as the next gal, and we’re gonna get those, but it’s not about that. It’s about capturing the photos that your grandkids will ooh and aww at some day. It’s about portraying the mushy unique love between the two of you. It’s about documenting all the people you love around you, because life is short and people don’t stay on this earth forever.


I promise to be there, to care for your day with every fiber of my being, and to tear up at every vow and every first dance.

Jenna is amazing!

Jenna's communication, professionalism and photography skills are all absolutely fantastic. She crushed it as our wedding photographer, getting everything we need tastefully and efficiently. She is really good at communicating directions to get the best shot - but has a great energy too and you can laugh around with her. The second photographer Clare was brilliant as well. We love the photos we got and will cherish them forever

The very best!

From our very first meeting, Jenna made us feel so comfortable with her presence. My husband and I have never been good at being the center of attention, but between our engagement shoot and our wedding day a year later, she eased our concerns by simply allowing us to “be.” Her photography style elegantly captured the naturally beautiful moments of our day. Of course family portraits were posed, but she got so many great natural shots of our loved ones and friends, as well as us enjoying their company. She also understood the importance of capturing the sentimental details, like the architecture in our venue. Also, even while being our photographer, she was there to help in a pinch if needed (thanks for the lemon mints!). Her love and talent for wedding photography couldn’t be more evident! Our friends and family ADORED her! We even got a surprise sneak peek a few days after our event!

We hope to stay connected to her for years to come - we couldn’t imagine working with anyone else.

Above and Beyond Expectations

Jenna was so absolutely wonderful to work with. She has a great artistic eye, a great work ethic, and did a truly phenomenal job with the photography for our engagement session and wedding.

Jenna is not only a fantastic photographer, but also a genuinely lovely human being. My husband and I both really loved her as a person the more time we spent with her. We had multiple family members comment on how nice she was, and what a great/ positive energy she had. She's the absolute sweetest and there's no one else we would have rather had documenting our wedding. Beyond her photography skills, Jenna's genuine warmth and positive energy made for an even better than expected experience. We look forward to having some sort of opportunity to work with her in the future. We have so many awesome photos that really capture the essence of how the day felt for us, and that really bring back some wonderful memories.

Jenna is one of those special humans that you rarely get to encounter in your lifetime. She's one of a kind - talented in so many ways and so very personable. We could not be happier that we were lucky enough to hire her as our photographer. The only thing we would've changed is that we would have hired her for more services & for later into the night. Her work is absolutely priceless to us and something we will cherish forever.

Jenna is a gem of a person, and we wholeheartedly recommend her without reservation. If you're considering booking with her, rest assured that you'll not only receive exceptional photography but also an exceptional experience with a truly exceptional individual.

Jenna is my DREAM photographer!

Going into wedding planning, my husband and I had a specific aesthetic in mind –we wanted natural, candid, and artistic photos that really capture emotion (nothing too bright, overly-posed, or traditional). So when I came across Jenna’s Instagram profile, I had to reach out! During the engagement shoot, I was a bit nervous because I usually feel so awkward in front of the camera. But Jenna made me feel so comfortable and her constant reassurance made me feel confident! She’s so sweet and personable that it felt like a friend was taking our photos. When we got our engagement photos back, I couldn’t believe how amazing they turned out! On our wedding day, Jenna made sure to capture all the shots we mentioned we wanted, which I really appreciated. She was also great at keeping us on schedule, while remaining her cool, chill self (just being around her really helped calm the wedding nerves)! We just received our full gallery from our wedding and I am absolutely obsessed with our photos. She did such an amazing job, and I can’t thank her enough for capturing our special day exactly how we wanted.

Simply perfect

Jenna is an amazing talent. From the minute we found her instagram, we knew we had to meet with her. My husband and I aren’t exactly natural models, but Jenna brought it out of us for sure. The way she can frame us in the most natural way creates a real sense of authenticity in her photography and it comes through for all of her clients.

Jenna didn’t stop at just getting the basics, she met with us to relieve my nerves on timelines, photo coordination (we had a LOT of family pictures to snap). All around amazing to work with, professional and kind. I honestly only regret not having her around for longer.

Jenna’s photography will be the cornerstone of remembering our day for generations to come.

Jenna is the most amazing photographer and person ❤️

I ADORE Jenna. I found her after hiring my planner, as they had worked together previously, and when I saw her portfolio I knew she was the one I wanted to work with.

The entire experience of working with Jenna was a joy, and made my wedding planning experience that much easier. From our first call, to scheduling our engagement shoot, to the handy guide she provides (seriously, I could not be more grateful), to planning out the final details of our wedding day.

My (now) husband and I never took professional photos together and we were a nervous wreck before our engagement photos. But looking back at them you wouldn’t think so because of how relaxed Jenna made us feel. She really understood how to direct us so that we felt comfortable, and my favorite part was just hearing HER get excited when she got a shot she knew we’d love. I was overwhelmed with emotion seeing them because they were beautiful and felt so perfectly us without being over the top. It made me excited to work with her again for our wedding day, and I knew I had nothing to worry about.

For our wedding day, Jenna really went above and beyond. My whole family fell in love with her!! She’s not just your photographer, she’s your friend, and in a day that can be filled with chaos, she was my calm. We let Jenna’s vision lead because she took so much care into understanding me as a bride and us as a couple to get the most beautiful photographs. I cried seeing our sneak peeks and I can’t wait to see how the entire batch looks turns out!!!

I wish I could put into words amazing she is to work with… but really, just take a look at her work, and know that you’re not only getting a wonderful photographer, but a kind person who’s love for her work really shines through in the way she interacts with you and the beautiful photographs she takes. I will find any excuse I can to work with her again ❤️

Working with Jenna was a gift!

Jenna was an unbelievable find. From the second we saw her portfolio and talked to her over the phone we wanted to work with her. She clearly LOVES what she does and she's SO good at it.

We had the privilege of working with Jenna for our whole wedding weekend. I had forgotten to tell her we moved locations because of rain and she just rolled with the punches. I never had to worry about her, she was always present for all the major moments, while being quiet and discrete. She also let me lead when we were running late with time on photos while also encouraging and reminding me to get photos I had missed. We were a team and I felt I could depend on her from the second I met her.

I have never felt more beautiful in my entire life than in the lens of Jenna's camera. Jenna's ability to capture the right moment was what made me want to work with her. She truly understood what our wedding was about and I cannot imagine working with anybody else but her.

Jenna is a true professional. She was willing to have uncomfortable conversations with family in order to make our vision come true. She respected our values and ensured that we got exactly what we cared the most about.

Her second shooter Emily was SO sweet and helpful. We are so grateful for Emily and glad we got to work with her on our most special day.

Jenna is a MUST. She will be the best addition to your wedding team. She feels like your best friend and big sister. And isn't that who you want taking your photos on your most important day?

The sweetest photographer!

We booked Jenna almost immediately after meeting her and reviewing some of her work. She was warm and caring from the start of our relationship. She included engagement shots as part of our wedding package and even though they weren't something we were looking for, she kindly explained that they are a great way to warm up in front of the camera + with her. She was so right and now we have beautiful photos that capture our love perfectly in our favorite places in Brooklyn. Can't wait to have Jenna capture our wedding day!

The absolute best photographer!

you are looking for an amazing photographer, look no further!! Hiring Jenna as our photographer was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. She was so helpful and easy to get along with from start to finish. She made us feel soo comfortable and not one bit awkward (even though both my husband and I were super nervous about taking so many pics). Her vibe and energy made the day stress free. She is so calm and easy to be around, her work is absolutely amazing! I would recommend her 100 times over and look forward to using her again in the future!
