    Incredible Wedding Photography

    Wow! Where do I even begin? Jenn is an incredible wedding photographer, and her work is spectacular. Not only is she an amazing photographer, but she is also a wonderful person to be around. She made my husband and I feel so comfortable and confident during both our engagement and wedding photos! She gave great direction to ensure that we felt comfortable and that our photos would turn out beautiful! I look at our wedding photos on a daily basis because I am still so blown away by what Jenn captured. Jenn captured our wedding so beautifully and we will be forever grateful for the amazing memories she was able to capture! Thank you so much Jenn for all you did to produce memories of our favorite day!

    The photos you’re dreaming of

    Jenn is an amazing photographer and a wonderful person to work with! We were so lucky to have her as our wedding photographer and for our engagement photos. She is confident and knowledgeable and made us feel at ease during the whole process. When there is so much to plan and stress about for a wedding, Jenn made it easy. She takes a personal approach in getting to know us as a couple rather than just clients. She eased our nerves and knew exactly how to prompt us to get beautiful and genuine photos. On top of that she is pet friendly and we were able to get photos with our pup too!
    When there was an almost disaster with a bottle of champagne on our wedding morning, Jenn went to the rescue and shielded my veil at the expense of her being showered in champagne. She made sure we stayed on schedule and was flexible to what we wanted. Her assistant on our wedding day was also so kind and easy to work with. We have so many great photos from moments that we didn’t even realize they were capturing. The photos came back to us so quickly and there were A TON! We are truly so grateful.

    Look no further, this is your photographer!

    When everyone on the planet has a camera in their pocket and are self-proclaimed photographers, it's difficult to weed through all of that to find that one person who can capture the moment in a way that, when you see that photo, you're instantly transported back to that very moment and feel all the feels! With Jenn as your photographer, that is EVERY photo!

    We found Jenn through our wedding planner which says quite a bit about the quality of her work. From our first meeting, Jenn was open, kind, considerate of our needs, and overall, an absolute light in our adventure! She wanted to know us as a couple which inevitably turned into a budding friendship which made us feel comfortable in front of a lens.

    We hired Jenn initially for our engagement photos, and after that experience, it was a no brainer that she was the one to capture our big day! Jenn and her team were able to capture moments that we weren't even aware of. One in particular is of my wife's grandfather who has been blind for many decades. Jenn captured a moment where my wife was guiding her grandfather's hand over her dress so that he could "SEE" it. I mean, c'mon, all the feels!

    If you are looking for a photographer to capture those once in a lifetime moments, trust in Jenn. She is incredible!

    Jenn, THANK YOU! Your eye for the framing and lighting of each shot all while capturing the emotion and presence of your subjects are bar none. Our photos of our wedding day are indescribable and show the art and expertise of your craft! We cannot wait to work with you again for our next adventure! Thank you for being everything we needed!

    Jenn is the photographer you want!

    A great photographer was one of our highest priorities when we planned our wedding, and we are so happy that we chose Jenn with Dearly Beloved Photography. Jenn was so pleasant to work with and her excitement throughout the process felt as genuine as our own. Her pricing and packages are very reasonable, and we loved getting a highlight preview so quickly after both the engagement shoot and the wedding. She was also flexible with planning our timeline and worked wonders reigning in my very large extended family for photos. She captured amazing photos from every key moment of the day. My husband and I both tend to get awkward when our photos are being taken, but Jenn did an excellent job warming us up and walking us through poses. She had a great eye for locations to take photos at our venue, but she was also happy to work with us if there was something particular we wanted captured. It was honestly so fun doing the engagement shoot with her and we loved hanging out with her all day on our wedding – she truly became a friend to us! Her photos and editing are gorgeous, and we have received endless compliments from friends and family members. They are classic yet whimsical and we are in love with them all! Thank you so much Jenn and Dearly Beloved Photography!

    Jenn was super helpful and accommodating throughout the entire process. She made my wife and I feel very comfortable in front of the camera and made sure we felt like the center of attention. The pictures came out amazing and I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

    Great quality & super affordable!!

    Jenn’s talent is incredible and she’s super easy to work with! Not to mention her affordability… She definitely made our engagement photo session worth it and I can’t wait to see all our wedding photos!! Can’t recommend her enough, especially if you want to work with a hard working momma!!

    Flexible & Very Accommodating

    Jenn was an absolute doll from the start of our e-mail conversation when I first inquired about pricing/availability all the way to our wedding day and getting our beautiful wedding photos back from her. When Jenn initially shot our engagement photos, she made the whole experience fun and relaxing. We also had to postpone our 2020 wedding due to the pandemic and Jenn was so understanding and flexible with us having to reschedule. We are so happy to have had Jenn throughout our wedding experience!

    Dearly Beloved Photography's reply:

    Thank you Jane and Evan. Your wedding was perfect and there was no other place I'd rather be then capturing your wedding! XO

    We LOVED working with Jenn as our wedding photographer!!

    Like many other couples with weddings in 2020, we had to postpone our wedding to 2021. Jenn was with us every step of the way. When our venue informed us of the need to postpone, Jenn was very understanding and reassured us that she will respect our decision and will make herself available for the new date (which she did!). She checked up on us regularly, and while we couldn't meet again in person, she scheduled a very detailed phone meeting with us to discuss the plan for the photos. Jenn even went out of her way to schedule a time with the venue to see the venue in person prior to the wedding.

    All of the photos delivered were BEAUTIFUL and her turnaround time was fantastic! I've already used her photos for many projects like thank you cards, photobooks, prints, gifts. Did I mention she reached out to us to ask if we needed any photos expedited for Father's Day?? We ended up using those photos as Father's Day gifts for our two dads and they absolutely loved it!

    If you're looking for a photographer for your special occasions, look no further! We loved working with Jenn and I'm sure you will too.

    Thank you for everything Jenn!! We can't wait to work with you again!

    Dearly Beloved Photography's reply:

    Thank you Runa and Teddy! I'd do it all again in a heartbeat. Thank you for letting me be a part of your journey! It was worth the wait. You both were dream clients. Can't wait to work with you again in the future! Xo Jenn

    The most amazing wedding photographer in OC!

    We LOVED working with Jenn! Jenn shot our wedding on 5/14/21 and it was the most beautiful experience. Jenn was professional, personable and extremely diligent on getting us the best photos possible for our special day. Her second shooter was also amazing and had great creative input! Jenn sent us a few sneak peeks the morning after our wedding and it was so fun to have a beautiful picture to announce our marriage with! We highly recommend Jenn/Dearly Beloved Photography for your special day, whether it be a wedding, pregnancy, any special event. We can't wait to use her again when we are expecting!! Thanks, Jenn!! We love you!

    First of all, we love Jen’s style. Her portfolio of pictures is what drew us into inquiring. Loved the edits and her color palettes.
    Once we booked, Jen was gracious to do our engagement photos and wedding. Great detail, precise direction and above all quality.
    We loved Jen and have found a lifelong photographer to do all of our pics.

    Dear Jenn!

    Thank you Jenn for an outstanding experience. I can’t say thank you enough for being so flexible and professional throughout our wedding experience even when Covid moved everything around!

    I highly recommend dearly beloved photography! Jenn made every moment so special and we gained a forever friend.

    Captured Our Wedding Day Perfectly

    Jenn captured our engagement pictures and wedding day perfectly! I still have friends and family commenting on how beautiful our wedding pictures were! I was a 2020 bride and I am so thankful for Jenn. She communicates well and was so flexible to the many changes to our wedding day. Her pricing is fair for her engagement pictures and wedding day package! It also included a beautiful photo box and usb, plus an album to remind us of our wedding day.
    She is professional and honestly the sweetest soul to work with. Thank you Jenn!

    Our story, perfectly told!

    I just have to say we loved working with Jen, we loved her personally and most importantly her work! She took care of us from start to finish. We weren’t just picking a photographer for a wedding, we ended up building a true relationship. Communication with her was amazing. She really focused on what we wanted and then complimenting it with her expertise. This girl knows her stuff!! We had engagement photos, family photos and our wedding photos all done. I didn’t want our pics to look like so many other pictures you see out there, because let’s face it we are all so different yet beautiful in our own ways. I loved Jens style and I trusted her to capture our uniqueness and fun loving selves! We are beyond satisfied with her work and our complete experience!

    2020-2021 bride

    Jen is not only your photographer, she becomes your friend. She's there for you more than I thought a photographer would be. 2020 wedding postponed 3x because of COVID so had a private backyard ceremony August 2020 and postponed the venue celebration to July 2021. Jen was there for me through every up, down, stressor and postponement. She became a friend I cherish greatly and she loves her clients like family. Hard worker, wonderful mama, forever friend. Makes you feel comfortable in a snap. Great response time with communication.🤍🤍🤍

    Wedding 2020

    I don’t even know where to begin to express how amazing Jenn is. From the beginning, she was so responsive and flexible with what we wanted for our engagement and wedding photos. When our plans suddenly changed due to Covid, Jenn was so understanding and easy going with out last minute change in plans. Our photos turned out absolutely amazing!

    10/10 - Would recommend!

    This review is long overdue! Jenn came highly recommended to us by another photographer and after viewing her website and Instagram we knew she would be a great fit and would compliment our aesthetic. We planned our wedding in under 3 months and Jenn jumped right in. We were able to do an engagement session in no time. Her communication was timely and she always answered any questions that we had. We’re very relaxed people and don’t really care for typical wedding traditions (not that there is anything wrong with them) because that’s not our style. We love the outdoors and anything earth tone and Jenn captured that so perfectly! We were expecting weather on our wedding day, which we welcomed, and knew that it would only add to the vibe that we were shooting for. The rain stopped as soon as the ceremony began! We’re not bright and bubbly people (again, nothing wrong with that); we’re just more drawn to moody colors, whiskey drinking, and sarcasm. Jenn was awesome and embraced everything! We felt comfortable letting her lead the way; she handled the photo timeline and coordinated with the venue, kept us on track, and allowed us to be us. Jenn and her assistant Elaine were very flexible with whatever we threw their way! She was able to create absolutely stunning shots and capture perfect candid moments. The pricing was affordable and the entire process was so easy. She provided us with previews and then an online gallery for the engagement and wedding photos. Her communication is excellent and she always kept us updated. She even went above and beyond and sent us a beautiful wood box with prints and a personalized usb for our photos. She truly cares about her work and clients, and it shows! We’re still getting compliments about the wedding photos! Thank you again, Jenn!

    Jenn was incredible! She was with us every step of the way through our planning process and the big day, and made everything so special. Every photo looked amazing and her style really matched the setting of our wedding. You'll get a preview set within two days of a session, and they are all breathtaking. She was very helpful in planning our timeline for the wedding, since she was also working out where she had to be throughout the day. On that note, she also worked very well with our coordinator and DJ, and also was very accommodating when things got a little off schedule. We definitely highly recommend her!

    Everything we wanted

    We hired Jenn after finding her on WeddingWire. From the beginning, she was extremely flexible, responsive, and such a pleasure to work with. She shot our engagement photos in the OC and our wedding day photos all the way up in Paso Robles. We absolutely loved our photos from both occasions. Not only that, but Jenn made my husband and I feel super comfortable in front of the camera. Not an easy feat for two people that rarely ever take photos together. We would 100% hire her again in the future, she is truly talented!

    Working with Jen was a pleasure, I felt like she really took the time to get to know us and understand the vibe we were going for. She was very thoughtful and sent us a beautiful engagement gift after our engagement shoot. I love the details and love she pours into her work.

    Amazing woman to have on your side ❤️

    Long overdue! It’s been over a year since my wedding and I feel terrible for not writing a review but Jen, definitely exceeded my expectations! I look back at my engagement and wedding pictures and I’m so thankful Jen captured these beautiful moments for us.

    Let me start by saying my husband and I are totally not creative picture people so Jen seriously helped us break out of our shell and reminded us how beautiful these pictures would come out! She was hysterical and I felt like she absolutely wanted to get to know us and go above and beyond for us. Jen and I had amazing talks before the wedding about what I was looking for and even had great conversations about life. Jen is an amazing photographer and is a great listener. She’s flexible, kind and a great asset! Blessed to have had her!

    Dearly Beloved Photography's reply:

    Awe Ambar! Thank you so so much! This means so much. It was absolutely a blast working with you and your hubs, and I can’t believe it’s been a year.
    You made my job so easy and I hope I get to see you again soon. You two were dream clients. ❤️

    Great photographer

    Jenn was wonderful from beginning to end. She was attentive, very responsive, and easy to work with. She captured amazing photos for our engagement shoot and on our wedding day. She captured great moments, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out.

    Dearly Beloved Photography's reply:

    Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your wedding day. You two were the absolute best and I look forward to working with you again in the future! Love, Jenn
