Briana Sent on 09/23/2021The absolute best photographer
I cannot say enough good things about Jenn as a photographer. Her attention to detail is out of this world, and not to mention making sure she captures every detail that it is important to the Bride. She puts in so much pride in her work and it really shows. Jenn helped me in so many others way other than just being my photographer. Being that I wasn’t from California, I asked her for many referrals and she was always there to help me even when she didn’t have to. She’s much more than a photographer and really does everything to ensure the bride has the most spectacular day! I cannot recommend her enough! I’m OBSESSED with my wedding photos! -

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. -

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.🤍🤍🤍 -

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! -

Jane Sent on 09/15/2021Flexible & 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! -

Tara Sent on 05/29/2021The 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! -

Janelle Sent on 03/18/2021Captured 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! -

Brittney Sent on 11/24/2020Our 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! -

Ambar Sent on 09/13/2020Amazing 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! -

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! -

Vanessa Sent on 05/01/202010/10 - 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! -

Loved Jenn!
We had a great experience with Jenn! We had a small elopement and she was so great and accommodating to our requests. Our pictures came out amazing, exactly what we were looking for. Jenn was easy to communicate with, reliable, and super down to earth. I’m so glad we found her! -

Jasmine Sent on 03/22/2020Jenn is absolutely the best!
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! -

Brittanie Sent on 12/05/2019Everything 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. -

Completely satisfied!
Jenn could not have been more professional, honest, flexible and easy to work with! Also, we started receiving photos within days of the ceremony and received our final photos in about a month, which was fantastic! I would highly recommend Dearly Beloved Photography! -

Wonderful!!
Jenn did an amazing job with both our engagement and wedding photos. Her pricing is reasonable and it includes the engagement session. Jenn is attentive and is open to any suggestions. We received our photos within the time frame specified within her contract and I can’t get over how amazing the photos look. Thank you Jenn for all of your hard work and the amazing photos that we will cherish for a lifetime! -

Brittany Sent on 07/27/2018Finding Jenn was a godsend! We were originally set to meet a different photographer. When he didn't show up to our appointment without notifying us through email or phone call, we immediately started looking for another photographer. Jenn was recommended through a friend who had gotten married a few months before. We heard nothing but great things so we figured we would at least meet with her. She was quick to respond and fit us in right away. THANK HEAVENS she did! Upon meeting Jenn we just knew we found the perfect person to capture all the special moments of our big day. We were thrilled to find that an engagement photoshoot was part of our package! We were planning a very small and intimate wedding so we had a strict budget and didn't think we could really afford a photographer.
My husband and I never really take photos together. At our engagement photoshoot, I'll admit, we were VERY awkward. We just didn't know what to do but Jenn guided us and made us feel so at ease! The photos came out AMAZING! Our family couldn't wait to get their hands on them.
Our wedding was in September 2016. We were a little non-conventional and got married on a Wednesday. Jenn was great about contacting me before and making sure she had a list of all the photos we wanted captured. The last thing a Bride wants to do is worry about vendors on her wedding day. I didn't have to worry about a thing! Jenn was at the venue before I was and ready to go the second I got there. The day was perfect and we couldn't wait to see all the wonderful photos.
We received our photos 4 weeks after the wedding! My husband and I were so giddy upon receiving the email from Jenn with our wedding album. We opened the album together and were speechless. Every moment captured is absolutely beautiful. Every time we look at our photos. it takes us right back to our wedding day. We are forever grateful to have found Jenn. Thank you for EVERYTHING!! -

Overall great
Overall I had a great experience and received many wonderful photos that I cannot stop looking at! Jenn was very nice, easy to communicate with and always responsive. I was organizing a wedding from the other side of the states and that never got in the way of our planning or communication. -
