    Jenna is a dream :)

    After a wonderful wedding weekend and review of our previews, I have to write a review on Jenna with Audra Wrisley Associates!!

    Jenna shot our engagement pictures and our wedding and both experiences were absolutely delightful. My now husband and I are clueless when it comes to getting out pictures taken -- we don't know how to pose, we don't have the best ideas for locations with lights, etc.

    However, Jenna made us both feel so comfortable in front of the camera and gave us such great guidance that both sessions (engagement and wedding) turned out beautifully. She was so kind, enthusiastic, and genuinely passionate about getting us the best shots we could.

    We lucked out with weather on the day of, however, the week leading up to it we were thinking that we would get horrible thunderstorms. Our entire plan for pictures, cocktail hour, and the ceremony were outside. Jenna was texting me throughout the week with ideas of where we could capture pictures despite the rain and sending me inspiration pictures too. I felt fully taken care of and supported during the week and entered the wedding day confident that we were going to get out shots. Luckily, all our rain-day plans went out the window because out weather was gorg, but if we needed to take the rain plain, I know we would've had beautiful pictures.

    Jenna was also very collaborative in the months leading up to the ceremony. I did not have a wedding planning and was responsible for creating the schedule myself. She was really a huge help in finalizing our plans and helped me think through the timing of everything.

    Pictures are such an important part of the wedding day and I feel really lucky that I chose Jenna with Audra Wrisley Associates!

    Riviera Dream

    The moment we spoke with Audra confirmed we had made the right choice. Audra is a rare photographer in that she brings as much light and warmth to her work as is reflected in her photos, which she encapsulates with a timeless elegance all her own. While many may be able to capture the moment, very few are able to capture the spirit of the moment and that is something Audra does so beautifully and effortlessly. We are fortunate to have found such a special person and talented photographer in Audra and look forward to working with her at life’s next big occasion. Like a fine wine, the photos seem to get better with age — we find ourselves regularly delighting in and rediscovering the poetry Audra captured far after the pomp and circumstance is over.

    Photos We'll Cherish for a Lifetime!

    Our wedding day was a whirlwind of emotions, and amidst the chaos, Audra and her team at Audra Wrisley Photography were our steadfast anchors, ensuring every moment was captured flawlessly. From the outset, it was clear that Audra's passion for photography matched our reverence for preserving our special day. Introduced to us through our wedding planner, Audra seamlessly integrated into our planning process, offering invaluable insights and guidance that elevated our experience.

    What truly sets Audra apart is not just her undeniable talent behind the lens, but also her genuine warmth and dedication to understanding our vision. She wasn't just a photographer; she became a trusted confidante, guiding us through the intricacies of crafting the perfect shot list and ensuring every detail was meticulously accounted for.

    As a result, we have a collection of photographs that not only capture the essence of our love story but also serve as timeless reminders of the joy and magic we experienced on that day. Audra's ability to immortalize fleeting moments is truly unparalleled, and for that, we are eternally grateful.

    Audra, your work is a masterpiece, and we feel incredibly blessed to have crossed paths with you. Thank you for gifting us with memories that we will cherish for a lifetime.

    Great experience 💕

    Audra was amazing! We had to postpone our wedding due to covid and had a mini wedding/ceremony. She worked with us from start to finish during a stressful time. We absolutely loved how we can look back on the memories forever. We would recommend her to anyone for any event. Our last minute change of plans was so special and it got into Style Me Pretty magazine! We cannot wait to work with you again sometime 💕💕

    Superb experience with Audra & Thijs!

    Choosing our wedding photographer was one of the harder decisions, because there are many out there and we were pretty picky about what we were looking for - and we are so glad to have had the opportunity to work with Audra and Thijs. Audra arranged a call with us right away and answered all of our many questions. Audra provided us with several examples of her work, and her various packages, and we really felt like we could confidently book her with all the information she provided. The day of the wedding we finally met Audra and she and Thijs could not have been nicer, more approachable, or easy to work with. We felt immediately comfortable with them, which is great for two slightly-camera shy people. We feel so lucky we were able to work with Audra and could not recommend her and her team enough!

    Best experience possible!!

    We had a fabulous experience with Audra! She was so clear and organized throughout the process, even sending us a book on what to expect several months ahead of time. We never wondered where things were with Audra - she was super communicative. And then the day of her and her husband, Thijs, were such a delight. My family still talks about how Thijs remembered everyone's name (and we're talking about dozens of people here) so that each person felt valued. They were also so so great with kids - the young kids in the wedding party are smiling in every shot! I would choose to work with Audra again in a heartbeat!

    Amazing duo!

    Audra and Thijs were one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! Seriously, I think the pictures made our wedding look more stunning than it was in person. On top of the beautiful photos, Audra and her husband are so sweet, responsive, and efficient. We didn’t want to spend hours taking photos and they were just pros- so quick, directed us into great poses, and found the best backdrops. Thank you guys for capturing our day!

    The best vendor we hired

    Audra and Thijs were absolutely our best wedding vendor. After securing our venue, finding a photographer was our top priority. I talked with many DC area photographers until I found Audra and knew she was perfect for our wedding day. Audra was completely understanding of my desire to have a cherry blossom engagement shoot. We had to reschedule it several times due to unpredictable bloom dates and weather. We finally decided on the date less than 24 hours before our shoot and Audra postponed her weekend plans in order to have our engagement shoot. It meant so much that Audra recognized how important the cherry blossom shoot was to me and did everything she could to make it happen perfectly. My husband was so impressed with Audra and Thijs, and said that we absolutely made the right choice of photographer! Needless to say, the photos were stunning and people kept saying, "WHO is your photographer? Why do your pictures look so much better than anyone else's I've seen?" That is how talented Audra is!

    Audra sent several thoughtful gifts during our engagement, which was such a special touch. On our wedding day, my husband and I felt so comfortable already because of our engagement shoot with Audra. She captured the day perfectly and the photos are beautiful. Her and Thijs were so professional and you could tell they had done this millions of time.

    If you are so lucky to have Audra as your wedding photographer, she will make you feel as if you are her only client. Her and Thijs always have smiles on their faces and make you feel so comfortable during your wedding day. When your wedding day is over, all you will have to look back on are the memories. Audra will make sure that these memories are flawless :) Thank you for everything, Audra and Thijs!!!

    Working with Audra & Thijs is truly a wonderful experience. We had initially worked with them on our engagement photos and loved their work. We were lucky enough to have them also be a wonderful part of our wedding and have captured memories that I know we will cherish forever. They are so professional and wonderful to work with, but they are also the most lovely human beings and go above and beyond to make sure your big day is as special as possible.

    Having our photos taken by Audra and her partner Thijs was our favorite part of our wedding and engagement. They captured all of the moments perfectly, and worked with us to get over being awkward in front of a camera lens. The photos are absolutely stunning.

    We've recommended them to a number of our friends who are now engaged. We would happily work with them again on anything.

    We had an unexpected change of plans with our original photographer and Audra came the rescue! It was fate and we seriously couldn't be happier with our photos and our experience on our wedding day. We fell in love with Audra Wrisley Photography's portfolio from the very start. After a brief conversation over the phone I felt comfortable with Audra and excited about our plans. That level of comfort was ever present on the day of our wedding. Audra and Thijs were kind and complimentary. Our poses became effortless and she made me feel beautiful. Even though she had only known us for a short amount of time, Audra nailed every shot that we wanted and then some. Her artistic vision and editorial compositions are flawless. The hardest part of this process has been trying to narrow down our favorite photos for an album. 100 pages is fine right?? I can't wait to look at these photos forever.

    If I could give Audra Wrisley Photography a 10 out of 5 I would. We worked with Audra and Thijs for our September 2017 wedding (rehearsal welcome event and full wedding day) and this was the best vendor decision we made. Of all the choices you make for a wedding, selecting a photographer felt like one of the biggest ones; a lot of pressure to find someone who could capture memories of the day the way we lived it and make it beautiful even on a windy or rainy day and inside a dark tent at the end of the night. After finding and meeting Audra, we knew immediately we had found this magical unicorn of a wedding photographer. Not only are Audra and Thijs the consummate professionals, with truly endless warmth and care for their clients before, during, and after the wedding (yes, even after!), but they captured some of the most beautiful photos I have ever seen. When our photos arrived, my husband and I clicked through, stunned, and on repeat said, "oh my god, look at this one!" until we confirmed that they were all "oh-my-god-look-at-this-ones!"/frame on your mantle photos. We are so grateful to have found Audra Wrisley Photography, and will cherish our wedding through their art for years to come.

    Audra and her husband Thijs are amazing photographers! From our very first meeting, they put my husband and I at ease, and made us feel extremely special. We were looking for photographers with an eye for art and attention to the details, and didn't want the standard, boring shots that old school wedding photographers get. Audra and Thijs exceeded our expectations! They shot our engagement shoot and our wedding, and I could not be happier with the pictures. I also recommended them to my friend who wanted his proposal photographed. I would highly recommend Audra and Thijs to anyone looking to document their special occasions!

    Audra is an amazing photographer and wonderful human being. Audra worked with us throughout the wedding process to ensure that our interests and desires were adhered to, while also providing great advice on what was and was not feasible. She was always willing to go the extra mile to help us and provide sound wedding advice. The planning process went extremely smoothly, and she was very detailed in determining what shots we were interested in and how best to get them. She was likewise instrumental in setting up our first look session on the day of the wedding, in finding a great venue at no extra cost. Day of the wedding, Audra and her husband Thijs were fantastic at getting the shots we wanted, while also being a calming presence and offering to help whenever possible. The photos turned out wonderfully and they will serve as a great reminder of our special day! We couldn't imagine having another photographer capture our special day!

    We can't recommend Audra enough! She shot our wedding in October and was by far our favorite vendor. She was so helpful to us with planning the schedule beforehand and her amazingly professional and calm demeanor was much appreciated throughout the day. We absolutely love our photos, and our friends and family can't believe how gorgeous they turned out. We can't wait to work with her again in the future.

    Audra and Thijs were fantastic to work with. I communicated frequently with Audra during the year leading up to our wedding. She was always professional and responsive, which I really appreciated as a detail-oriented person! On our wedding day, even with some confusion during wedding portraits, she and Thijs kept things moving along but were flexible at the same time. The photos they gave us were incredible and I am so glad that we will have them forever to look back on our wedding day!

    Audra is so amazing! From the beginning of the whole wedding process she was so helpful and responsive, making it a lot less stressful. Her and her husband, Thijs, were such a joy to work with on our wedding day making us feel so comfortable with the pictures as well as capturing all the special moments throughout that day. I highly recommend her as she was by far the least stressful vendor and I do feel like she's a friend now! Love her and her husband!!

    Audra was a consummate professional, beginning the moment we met her. She beautifully captured several life milestones for us, from our engagement photos to our first puppy, to our wedding day. We were initially hesitant to use a photographer who shoots in film, but we could not have been happier with going this route. The photos Audra captures are like a dream. She has an amazing eye, made us feel at ease from the start and was truly detail oriented every step of the way. Audra was an integral part of our planning process, listened to our concerns, and ultimately helped us make decisions that allowed for the best photos, while making our day stress-free. If you're looking for stunning, timeless images of your wedding day and beyond, look no further than Audra Wrisley photography. Bonus, she works at an adorable studio near DC, where we held several meetings and ultimately saw our wedding photos over a glass of wine. We cannot imagine a more incredible and joyful experience from start to finish.

    Audra and Thijs were so great to work with in the lead up to and on the day of our wedding. They made us feel so comfortable and worked with us to make sure our wedding photos would be not just beautiful but also enjoyable to take. And of course the photos themselves look more amazing than we could've imagined. We highly recommend working with them for your wedding too.

    Not only were Audra's photos exquisite, elegant yet capture the fun and joyous mood of the day, but she and her team are cool as cucumber under pressure and in a time crunch. She and her partner provided just enough direction without feeling intrusive.

    She was also very flexible with the options we were looking for in our package, and even went out of her way to speak extensively with my detail-oriented mother.

    I cannot recommend Audra enough1

    Audra was a dream to work with! Her attention to detail and her kind sensitivity made our experience incredible. She was so responsive from beginning to end and incredibly patient. The photos came out beautifully and the album she created for us was also perfect. She is amazing in every way.

    Audra and Thijs were a dream to work with! They were very easy going and extremely flexible, especially since we asked them to travel out of the country for our wedding. Audra is so delightful and very thoughtful. Her professionalism is exemplary, and she is very talented. Every single photo she had taken was so beautiful, it was extremely difficult trying to narrow down our favorites! Audra and Thijs are very friendly, kind and generous. My husband and I have gotten so many compliments on our engagement, wedding, and day-after photos. By the end of our time together, we became friends, and look forward to asking them to do our family photos in the future! We highly recommend Audra Wrisley Photography. Any couple would be lucky to have them capture their special day!

    We were fortunate to stumble upon Audra's blog-post of a wedding that she shot at a venue similar to our wedding venue. We really loved the feel of her photos. The images felt genuine but also artistic. After meeting with Audra in her studio (and interviewing several other photographers), we confidently chose Audra to shoot our wedding.

    With Audra you get the full package of what a service provider should be. She was absolutely wonderful to work with. She is patient, flexible (which is a rare in the wedding industry), and manages to become genuinely invested in the final product - She also throws in some nice small gifts/surprises along the way which was really a nice touch.

    Our wedding party consisted of many friends, and a mix of blended families (second marriages, etc.). Audra handled the day smoothly and with ease. Her relaxed vibe was contagious, allowing the captured moments to be even better. Hiring Audra was by far the best decision we made when making vendor decisions. She was the most expensive vendor, but worth every-single penny (and more).

    We decided to go with Audra for our engagement and wedding photos and we are glad we did. From the first moment meeting with Audra, it was great. She is so nice, energetic and always prompt with her responses. We just especially love her friendliness and just the way she interact with us! It was just all very genuine. We felt so comfortable with her and our engagement photo shoot went amazingly well! The pictures are just what we were looking for and our friends/family all love them. WE can't wait for our big day photo shoot!!!

    My mom came across Audra's website when searching for a local Wedding Photographer and fell in love with her photos. Once I saw her work online, I knew we had to meet her in person. Audra was extremely responsive, wonderful to work with, and truly treated my husband and I as if we were her only clients (which I know we weren't!). We've had friends and friends of friends reach out or comment on our photos saying they knew and loved Audra because either they used her for their Wedding or they know someone who did!

    Our Wedding Photos were very important to us and Audra and Thijs made sure they were exceptional!! They caught moments throughout our day that took us pleasantly by surprise. My husband and I were married in DC on April 9th of 2016 on a day where it was snowy, sunny, windy, cloudy - literally every type of weather occurred that day and Audra made it not only bearable but beautiful and fun. She had previously visited our Hotel, Church and Reception locations to determine where to get the best shots etc. Needless to say, this was greatly appreciated by us, our Wedding Party and Family; no one was taking photos or outside for more than a couple minutes! She was so organized and efficient!

    I could truly go on about Audra and Thijs, they are just a phenomenal team and we couldn't be happier with the way they captured our Wedding Day! Audra is very patient, kind and professional; after our wonderful experience with her, I truly consider her a friend!

    If you are looking for a Wedding Photographer, hire Audra, she is the BEST!
