I work in the photography industry, so this was the most important vendor I booked. Because a lot of my photographer friends were attending my wedding as guests, I struggled to select a photographer I could trust. Another photographer brought up Jennifer's name and I'm so thankful that they did.
She FAR EXCEEDED my hopes and dreams for photography! I was simply blown away by how amazing she was!!
First of all, and most importantly- she had an assistant who was with the groom and his crew during the getting ready process, while she was with me and my bridesmaids. It is so important to have 2 photographers, I can't tell you enough. There are so many moments that are lost because it just isn't possible for one person to be in two places at once.
Okay, back to the photography. She had such a great ability to see opportunities and work with natural light to create the best images. Brides- this is another important thing to look for- Find a photographer who can work well with all types of lighting situations and who has a mix of editorial and artistic photography examples in their portfolio.
Jen has both areas covered perfectly. She was able to document everything I wanted (the ceremony, the family pics in front of the alter, our reception venue and details), and then she took the bull by the horns to get all of the shots I didn't realize I would want, but have turned out to be the shots I have framed and love the most!
Other than her great skill as a photographer, she has a great personality and put everyone at ease at all times. I've been to weddings where the photographers feel the need to be "in your face" in order to get the picture. This is NOT what a bride needs on her wedding day, and Jennifer is great about being 100% there without getting in the way.
She also was very quick in her turnaround of the files. I purchased the digital files outright and she provided processed files on discs to me within a few weeks of the wedding. I didn't expect to see anything for months, but she was very fast, and even appologized for "taking so long". Wow! That's all I can say to that!
I know that she offers several wedding packages, and all are a great value.
I've seen plenty of wedding photographer's work and I will tell you this much: there are different levels of photographers out there, and she is very much so a high end photographer, who charges about half of what she could be charging.
