Hi, I'm Jenna Leigh — a Washington DC wedding photographer with 16 years and 350+ weddings documented across the DMV and destinations worldwide.
My style is vibrant and true-to-life. Not the washed-out, moody aesthetic you see everywhere right now — real color, genuine emotion, and photographs that feel as alive in twenty years as they do the day you receive them.
Throughout your wedding day I work quietly and unobtrusively, watching for the moments before they happen. During portraits I'll get you moving, laughing, and completely at ease until the camera disappears from your awareness entirely. Most couples tell me afterward it was far more relaxed and fun than they expected — that's always the goal.
With extensive experience across 100+ DMV venues and a deep familiarity with every lighting scenario this region throws at a photographer, I show up prepared for everything so you don't have to think about any of it.
I'd love to hear about your wedding and see if we're a great fit.
— Jenna

Jenna & Co were fantastic to work with! We were interested in hiring her because of her fantastic work with colors and light and her clear appreciation for shadow and depth in a time when so many wedding pictures feel like they were taken under stadium lights.
Jenna is super responsive via email and her turnaround for (off-peak season) final wedding pictures was just under a month. My now-husband and I are very camera shy but Jenna worked some serious magic and gave us combination Pulitzer-level action shots and Vanity Fair-level portraits that immediately take me back to the most beautiful day of my life so far.

Best investment!!
Hiring Jenna was one of the best wedding decisions we made. She is an absolutely delight to work with and so talented! We were so thankful for the engagement photo session too—it was a great chance to get to know Jenna and get some practice in front of the camera with less pressure than on the big day. We cherish our wedding photos and are so happy we got to work with her!

Exceptional, Creative, and Thoughtful
Jenna is the best!! She and her team are on top of everything. They are very detailed oriented -- when it rained, they had clear umbrellas for us and helped me hold my train in a photogenic way that also kept my dress from getting wet. She brought accompaniments for the details shots that made it looks so beautiful and romantic. She had so many creative ideas for photographs, and the editing is beautiful!! If you need a photographer, look no further, Jenna is amazing!!

Great natural photos and amazing memories!
Words can't express how grateful my husband and I are for Jenna! We are both very awkward picture takers and she was amazing at putting us at ease and we just absolutely adore how our engagement and wedding photos came out. We mostly appreciated her straight forward pricing and everything that was included in her wedding packages. She was very helpful in finding a great engagement shoot location and an absolute dream to work with on the day of our wedding. We love the natural and candid shots from the day, her and her team have a great eye for capturing the best candid moments! Everything felt natural and she was just so fun to work with. I highly recommend Jenna and plan on using her for any future photography needed!

So friendly, professional and creative!
Jenna is such a talented photographer with great vision. Photography was a top priority for us as we both work in media and we were blown away by Jenna’s warmth, creativity and professionalism. She made both of us feel very comfortable in front of the camera and brings a special level of calmness to the entire wedding planning process.

Jenna was amazing!
Jenna was amazing! She made us feel so comfortable when taking our engagement photos and they turned out amazing! We had to postpone our wedding due to Covid, I made sure she was available on our new wedding date before booking because I loved her and her photos so much!

Amazing pictures!
We could not have been happier with the pictures Jenna and her team took of our wedding ceremony (which we held on our original wedding day, and which Jenna photographed in lieu of an engagement session) and our wedding reception, which we postponed a year due to the pandemic. Jenna was flexible and professional in helping us navigate our ever-changing plans, and the pictures turned out incredible!

Incredible Photographer
Jenna was an absolute joy to work with. She has such an amazing energy that really helped me to stay calm and just live in the moment. Jenna and her team were so polite and kind. Jenna was great at directions and her photography is truly a masterpiece. We had a mountain of spectacular photos after the event. Couldn't be happier.

Absolute Perfection!
Jenna was, from start to finish, an absolute joy to work with. Her photography is not only her business, but her passion. She was able to capture emotions, portrait, and even some out of this world lighting silhouettes. As a couple who really likes movement, and emotionally capturing photography, we were nervous that we wouldn't find that "right person" to really capture our hearts and wedding day. Jenna was all that and so much more. She and her team really exceeded anything that we had wanted for our special day! Jenna is the best, 100% would recommend!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
I really enjoyed the photos taken by Jenna Leigh, especially the ones at our old barn. She has such good ideas, and is very professional. Looking forward to having her out here again. Will be a great asset to your wedding.
