We knew within minutes of meeting with Jenn that she was going to be our wedding photographer. After viewing her website, we already knew that her photographs were amazing. Neither of us enjoys being in front of the camera, so we knew we needed someone who could help ease our minds and make us comfortable. After chatting, laughing, and drinking wine together during our first meeting, we knew Jenn was that person.
She makes it a priority to get to know you and what you're looking for, and all of her packages include an engagement photo shoot, which allows you to get comfortable with the camera, and her to get to know you a bit better as well. We had SO much fun at our engagement shoot and reaffirmed that we had made the right decision.
Jenn also did a boudoir photo shoot for me a few months before the wedding. I was incredibly nervous and wasn't sure how the photos were going to turn out. Jenn really put me at ease and made me look like a model! The result was an album full of beautiful, tasteful photos that blew my husband away when I gave it to him just before our wedding.
Then comes wedding day. Again, Jenn is an incredibly talented photographer. However, what made the photos really come to life was how comfortable she made us feel. We were allowed to be our goofy selves, and some of the best photos are the ones where we're smiling or laughing on the heels of something ridiculous (or inappropriate!) one of us had just said or done. The end result is a collection of photos like something out of a bridal magazine. We could not be happier. And, BONUS, we've developed a friendship with one of the sweetest, most genuine people we've ever met.

Thank you, Jenn, from the bottom of our hearts.
