About

Hi! I'm Jennie and I photograph intimate weddings for devoted and corageous couples.

I believe that intimate means much more than "small". It's a deep connection between people--one that exists to elevate the experiences in your life. Including your wedding day and the start of your marriage.

Jennie is the gold standard for LGBTQ+ and BIPOC wedding photography!

My wife and I were adamant that we wanted vibrant wedding photos that would accurately reflect skin colors (ours and those of our guests)—a sharp contrast to the typical white-washed, overly filtered wedding photography that's all over the internet. We knew as soon as we saw Jennie's portfolio that she was the right photographer for us. Plus, as a queer couple, it was a relief to get to work with an openly queer photographer.

Jennie photographed our elopement on Mount Blue Sky in summer 2024 and our wedding in fall 2025, and we are obsessed with the photos from both events. Jennie has a knack for capturing the energy in the room. For our elopement, that meant intimate moments in natural spaces. And for our wedding, that meant colorful, queer, sparkly, and gorgeously diverse joy all night long.

Jennie is worth every dollar you'll spend on her! Promise.

Definitely Hire Jennie!

We had the privilege of working with Jennie for my daughter’s wedding, and we cannot say enough wonderful things about her. We originally found Jennie on The Knot, and it was important to us that our photographer be completely comfortable shooting an LGBTQ wedding, experienced in selecting locations, and attentive to the moments that matter most. Jennie exceeded every expectation.

From the start, she was thoughtful, kind, and exceptionally professional. We hired her team to document the entire wedding weekend—from the welcome party to a photo shoot at Chautauqua Park, and of course the wedding and reception. Throughout it all, Jennie made my daughter and her wife feel supported, at ease, and beautifully seen. She captured countless candid moments alongside the more formal photos, each one filled with authenticity and joy.

Jennie and Jas were ever-present but never intrusive. They blended seamlessly into the celebration while still catching every smile, tear, and detail. They also made stunning use of the natural surroundings for the detail shots, which was an unexpected and delightful touch.

When the reception ran long, Jennie graciously stayed an extra half hour, even after a full day of shooting. About a month later, we received a sneak-peek gallery of about 100 photos that absolutely thrilled us. Jennie and Jas ultimately took thousands of images and carefully curated a gorgeous collection of the very best moments from the entire weekend.

They captured the smiles, the laughter, the tears, and the overwhelming joy of the celebration. I highly, highly recommend Jennie Crate—you will not be disappointed.

The perfect wedding photographer!

We found Jennie through a Google search while looking specifically for queer-friendly wedding photographers, and honestly—what a find! Her photo style immediately stood out to us (so dreamy and real), and her website was packed with genuinely helpful resources that made us feel like we were in good hands from the start.

From our very first meeting, Jennie was AMAZING. So friendly, so down-to-earth, and just... got us. Our engagement shoot was such a fun experience—it felt totally natural, we laughed the whole time, and the photos turned out exactly how we imagined (maybe even better?). Then came the wedding day, and it was honestly perfect. Jennie and her team were incredible—they were so kind, relaxed, and professional but also felt like part of the crew. It never felt like we had cameras in our faces; it felt like we were hanging out with friends who happened to be capturing every magical moment.

Jennie also went above and beyond during the planning process—she hyped us up constantly, helped build our timeline, and took so much pressure off our shoulders. That kind of support is priceless when you're planning a wedding.

We’re OBSESSED with our photos. They feel like us—joyful, candid, full of love—and every time we look at them, we get to relive the day all over again. Can’t say enough good things about Jennie and her team. If you’re thinking of booking her: DO IT.

Thoughtful, caring, and professional!

Jennie photographed our micro-wedding in the Flat Irons in Boulder. From our initial Zoom consult, Jennie was professional, prepared, and invested in us. Her thoughtful questions made it clear how experienced she was working with queer and same-gender couples and that she really cared about us having an affirming photography experience.

Jennie was very responsive and highly organized throughout our planning process, which really relieved us of a lot of planning stress. She provided a detailed timeline, photo plan for that day, and collaborated with us on where and when to do photos well ahead of time so we felt really ready day of.

On our wedding day, Jennie was calm and collected, which was so helpful for us when we were panicking about possible rain the day of our outdoor ceremony. Jennie problem solved like a pro and also did such a good job making us feel comfortable in our own skin during photos.

We’ve already received our sneak peek photos and we could not be happier. They’re beautiful and capture us so well. We truly can’t recommend Jennie highly enough!

Recommend!

We booked Jennie for our wedding reception photos and we would highly recommend her! From the get go we appreciated how professional she is and how she wanted to get to know us before even booking her. She is easy to talk to and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera! She has a calm energy and shoots incredible photos! Our venue was the botanic gardens and she did an exceptional job taking advantage of the natural light and beauty of the place itself! Communication with her was always great! You can’t go wrong hiring Jennie as your photographer!

Truly the Best

f I had to truly thank only one person throughout the wedding process it would be Jennie, our photographer. Jennie was astounding. We took our engagement photos with Jennie and from the moment we met her over zoom, and in person at our engagement photos, I knew that we were in good hands. Jennie is just one of those people. She made us feel so comfortable during our photos and calmed my nervous energy on the day of our wedding when I was very frazzled. She jumped in and helped when my mom was having trouble bustling my dress and helped deliver items to my groom for photos. The way that she is able to cue you to get the perfect smile, angle, and pose is actually crazy and very natural. Our wedding would not have been the same without Jennie and I am truly beyond grateful for her. She delivered our sneak peek photos within 2 weeks of our wedding and we got our full photo album within 6 weeks! If you are looking for a really talented photographer and an all-around great person, look no further!

Professional, LGBTQ+, Woman-Owned, Stunning Quality

When my partner and I began our photographer search a year out, we had narrowed it down to a select few. We agreed we wanted to support the LGBTQ+ community through our vendors. Jennie quickly captured my attention through her work. The website, her blogs, level of detail, and her photography skills.

Jennie was booked up for the day of our wedding, however she connected us with her associates, Candice and Savannah. We had the chance to schedule a virtual session and meet with Candice. Candice displayed a warm and caring personality that really made us feel comfortable and excited to work with her.

We had our ceremony and reception held at the Space Gallery, Denver. The team did an incredible job on our wedding day. Full of energy, laughter, and joy. We are so happy with how everything turned out. Our photos look stunning, full of vibrant colors, and really captured the best moments. Both my partner and I can be shy around photos, but this team puts you at ease and helps get the awkward feelings out of the way.

We were also able to work with Jennie to have a post-wedding engagement photo shoot. She was able to share some awesome locations around Boulder, CO to capture the Fall season.

I can't say enough good things about Jennie, Candice, and Savannah. We would recommend Jennie Crate Photography to anyone who is in search for professional photographer. Thanks again for all of the work in helping make our wedding day memorable.

The best photographer we could’ve asked for!

Cannot say enough good things about working with Jennie. It was really important for us to have a queer photographer and we immediately knew Jennie was the right fit! She was thoughtful and made sure we felt comfortable / were having a great time through both our engagement photos and our entire wedding day. She also was super responsive and accommodating leading up to the wedding and on the day of. Not to mention her photographs are incredible! Our photos perfect capture the details of the day, but also the emotion and small moments. We’re so grateful to have worked with Jennie!

The BEST Wedding Photographer

I genuinely can't say enough good things about Jennie Crate and Candice.

My wife and I have never been great in front of a camera. Candice made us feel SO comfortable, was able to easily get us to be ourselves, and truly captured who we are on the most important day of our lives.

Candice captured so many great photos of not only us, but of our family and friends. She was everywhere taking photos while hardly ever been seen and always fast so we could spend ample time experiencing our wedding. Many guests mentioned how outstanding Candice was throughout the night.

TLDR: Jennie Crate Photography was very organized, communicated exceptionally well, made us feel comfortable, captured our relationship excellently, and truly cared.

Please do yourself a favor and work with Jennie and Candice - you won't regret it.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
