THE most incredible photographers :)

We hired The Light & Co (Jenda and Ethan) for our wedding, as well as our engagement photos. Right from the beginning, even during our initial call with Jenda, we knew right away that they were The Ones. They are just so friendly and fun and easygoing, really awesome people to talk to! We had wanted to get on a call with them because of the incredible work that we saw on their website, as well as Instagram, so it was an added bonus that they have this incredible ability to connect with you right away. My then-fiancé and I aren't the most comfortable in front of a camera, but that's not something we ever had to worry about with Ethan. He makes everyone immediately comfortable and the engagement shoot was one of the most fun things I ever got to do. On the wedding day, Ethan was basically our rock. He was so much more than just a photographer. Yes, he was the really fun, cool guy running around with the camera, but he was also always readily available, for any random photo requests my family had, to specific shots we wanted to get. Any time we needed him, he was there; it was amazing and all our wedding guests had such good things to say about him. And of course the photos always turn out GORGEOUS. We're always excited to get our photos from Ethan and Jenda; we cannot recommend them enough!! Best photographers, hands down. One of the saddest things about this wedding being over is not getting to work with them anymore, but I would 1000% make a reason for family portraits or something just to see them again.

Ahhmazing!!

We had a lot of great vendors at our wedding, but both my husband and I agree, no one came close to our experience with Ethan and Jenda. They are truly artists, and on top of that they are SO fun, and made everyone feel confident in front of the camera. Our guests could not stop raving about them (even before seeing the photos), and now after seeing some photos (sent to us less than 2 days after our wedding-so fast!) they’re gushing over them even more, and saying they look like they’re out of a wedding magazine. If I or anyone else ever needs a bomb.com photographer, I would not hesitate to recommend them!

Absolute Perfection!

Ethan and Jenda have become dear friends of mine. I first met them at my brother's wedding, and we hit it off instantly. I hadn't even seen their work yet when I decided that I wanted them to document my special day-- the immediate chemistry sealed the deal for me. When it was time to plan my wedding, they were my first call to check availability as I was on the road to tour what we ended up choosing as our venue. They both make themselves completely available and are always quick to respond to any form of communication. They flew all the way down to Texas for my bridals and our big day. They made sure to sit me down and ask what I wanted out of this and took everything I said into consideration when capturing their images. Every photo has so much depth and emotion, and I have received ENDLESS compliments from others. I was an art major in college and have always loved photography, and these are some truly talented artists. I will be forever grateful for the incredible moments they captured of our most important day yet. Ethan and Jenda are the most warm, kind, charismatic humans, and they have both become dear friends of ours. Love love love!!

Seriously the best! Everyone felt so at ease and comfortable with them. No one and mean no one has an artistic eye better than Ethan. Jenda did such an amazing job with the groomsmen and they both worked so hard to ensure our daughter’s day was perfect.

We booked Jenda for our engagements and wedding photography and seriously COULD NOT BE HAPPIER. She is the BEST! Not only is she so, so talented but also so nice and helpful. She always offered to help with recommendations, opinions, whatever. She also made us feel so comfortable, which was very important because we're not used to being in front of the camera! She is the best and I couldn't imagine having anyone else document our wedding day!

I would highly recommend using Light & Co for your wedding! They think of every important detail, are always responsive and up for suggestions, they are flexible and care about what you think, they have the most creative eye with ever shot they take, and most importantly, they are just amazing people to work with who sincerely care that you have the most special wedding and photography experience! Not to mention their pictures are seriously magical! You will not have ANY regrets!

First things first, stop reading this and book them before you miss out. I'm serious, you will regret it if you don't book them now!! I was referred to them by a friend and i have to say that Jenda (Ethan was booked on my wedding day) did an AMAAAAZING job. She exceeded my expectations on what I would get from a wedding photographer. The first time I met her was on my wedding day and I really felt like I knew her for years. Aside from everyone at my wedding telling me how awesome of a lady she was to have there, the pictures were mind blowing to say the least!!! Over 1,000 pictures ?! And every single one was amazing. I can't thank them enough !!

Ethan and Jenna were amazing! They made both my wife and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera--it was actually fun. They knew what shots to take and with who, so there was no guess work on the day, making it a lot quicker and letting people get back to the party. Finally (and most importantly) the photos were amazing, they have such a great eye for location, lighting, and etc. Beautiful. I would recommend Ethan and Jenda to anyone and everyone.

Jenda was such a blessing and angel from heaven. I never had an issue with her and she was fun, professional and such a joy to work with. Our photos came out absolutely beautiful!! Everyone is still talking about our photographer and how on top of every moment she was. You would think there were two or more people there helping her. We are so happy we chose Light&Co and highly recommend them to everyone
