Our amazing wedding photographer !!

As we began wedding planning, photography was one of our top three vendors that we prioritized! The Tenneys did not disappoint! The services they provided were top tier. They communicated clearly, timely, and efficiently all throughout the planning process as well as the day of. They were SO professional, kind, and all of our guests raved about how much fun they were! We are so happy we decided to have Jake and Anna shoot our engagement photos and wedding day. We will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives!

Well worth the investment in wedding photos that we will cherish for a lifetime!

We booked Jake Tenney for our wedding day and would make the same decision again, and again, and again! Jake and Anna are professional, kind, and extremely dedicated to their work. Jake worked tirelessly from the moment he arrived at the venue until he departed late that night. He had great energy and was a pleasure to have in close proximity to us for the entire day. He always made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and gave great direction for photographs that felt beautiful and natural. We got our preview photos less than a week after our wedding and were so excited to see the rest. We received the rest of our photos three months after our wedding and were floored by how stunning they are! Jake is a truly talented photographer and was well worth the investment in photos that we will cherish for a lifetime. Trust us, you will be thrilled that you chose The Tenneys for your wedding photographers. Thank you, Jake and Anna!

Worth every penny!

Jake and Anna are fantastic! We wanted a photographer with a dreamy and romantic aesthetic, and they seemed to be the best in the area that fit that description. We were right! We are so blown away every time we review our gallery. They took the time to get as many family photos as possible, and got a lot of candid shots while we were getting ready, laughing together, and on the dance floor. Their attention to detail is great, and they know exactly how to pose you if you're awkward in front of the camera.

Best Vendor We Chose!

Choosing Sweetlife Photography for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! From the very first moment we met Jake at our engagement shoot, we felt completely at ease. He has such a natural ability to make you feel comfortable, confident, and at ease in front of the camera. We sent over some inspo photos for the shoot, and Jake executed our ideas perfectly—he is truly gifted!

On our wedding day, having both Jake and Anna with us was an absolute dream. They were with us for every special moment, capturing each one seamlessly without ever making us feel like we had to pause or pose in awkward ways. They blended into the day, capturing candid moments that we’ll cherish forever. It was such a relaxed and enjoyable experience, and we couldn’t be happier with the results.

The photos really are breathtaking, and we’ve already had so many compliments from family and friends. We feel incredibly lucky to have had Sweetlife Photography document our wedding. If you’re looking for talented photographers who make you feel relaxed, understood, and truly capture the magic of your day, look no further than Jake and Anna!

Great company!

Jake was so helpful and kind on our wedding day. He worked extremely hard to make sure we got all the photos we needed and was great to work with. His ability to think on his feet is what sets them apart! He never settles for less and is always trying to maximize each and every photo to the fullest!

Fantastic!

Jake and Anna did a phenomenal job with our wedding and engagement photos. From our first meeting, I knew we could trust them with our special day and that they'd capture every important moment--and they did! We've received so many compliments on our beautiful photos. They also go above and beyond: For example, when I started getting sunburned during photos, Anna went and found me sunscreen. Also, it was so nice on the day of to just enjoy taking photos with friends and family and not worrying if they were going to turn out.
We just did what Jake and Anna said and it all turned out amazing! Cannot recommend them enough. Stunning photos and so easy to work with. Thank you, Jake and Anna!

Jake and Anna are amazing, and bring professionalism and artistry to every event they shoot here at the vineyard. I love working with them, and the photographs are always amazing!

Ginger and You Events Ginger and You Events Wedding Planners

Jake & Anna are a killer team that everyone should hire. Not only are they one of the sweetest couples I know, they are incredibly talented and offer something that is rare: They are a package deal! Most photographers come with a second shooter - which is great solution to needing another set of eyes with a camera in hand! But with Jake & Anna, you get two professionals that work amazingly well together, have immeasurable experience with each other and are so easy to work with. I have had the pleasure of doing projects with them and they set my heart at ease every time because their work is truly more than you could ever hope for. They shoot film & digital - their film reels are always to die for! I am not kidding when I say they are my favorite husband and wife photography team, they are worth every penny.
