    Competent, professional, ideal!

    My siblings and I retained Jenifer to photograph our father's second wedding. Both bride and groom were not "naturals" at posing and very nervous and self conscious about their age, but wanted classic wedding photos. Jenifer was professional, polite, and efficient. We haven't gotten the full album yet, but what we have so far is superb.

    5 stars is not enough!

    Not sure where to begin with our experience with Jen Rutherford Photography. Jen is professional, kind, punctual, attentive, thoughtful, unbelievably talented and patient (very), the list is endless. Jen goes above and beyond to make you feel calm and comfortable in front of the camera, and it truly shows in her pictures. We first used Jen for our engagement photos, and we were blown away by her work product, they were stunning. We couldn’t wait for her to shoot our wedding, and from the teasers she sent us, they are breathtaking! We can’t wait to lay our eyes on the whole album because the teasers left us speechless. We would choose Jen Rutherford a thousand times over and will continue to do so for all of life’s most important and special moments. Thank you, Jen, for forever capturing our beautiful love story!

    Amazing experience and beautiful photos!

    We had a great experience working with Jennifer for our wedding pictures! She is organized, professional, and easy to work with. Before the wedding, she sent along a detailed photo timeline and iterated on it several times to make sure it covered all the photos we wanted and that we had enough time to get everything done. She and the second photographer were efficient and unobtrusive and ensured that we didn’t miss any of the photos we had planned. Our guests also appreciated how she took the time to go to each table and make sure that all couples and groups had a picture.

    And we could not be happier with how the photos turned out! Jennifer took a great mixture of formal and candid photos and captured so many special moments from the wedding. We are so glad we hired her and will treasure the photos forever.

    Wonderful experience with Jenifer!

    I cannot recommend Jenifer Rutherford photography enough! My husband and I found Jenifer for our wedding photography through a friend of ours who had also used her for their wedding. Our whole experience from the start was professional, communicative, and thorough. Jenifer is so easy to work with and both my husband and I, who are usually very camera shy, felt so comfortable in front of the camera with her guiding us. The engagement session gave us a great warm up for the wedding day photos. I plan on using Jenifer's photography services in the future for any events or family photography. Book Jenifer for your wedding day and you will not be disappointed!

    Highly Recommend Jenifer Rutherford!!

    Jenifer is the best in the industry. She was the photographer for my brother's wedding three years ago and I was so excited that she was available for mine! From the engagement shoot to the wedding day, Jenifer was responsive, organized and a joy to work with! If you want someone who will be able to be "stealth" and "get the right shots" throughout the day, you can count on Jenifer. I was so impressed by her day of schedule - we stayed right on track and finished by the start of cocktail hour :) A bonus was that my husband and I were chosen for New York Times weddings and Jenifer's photo of us was featured... I highly recommend her for any wedding or occasion!

    Jenifer will go above and beyond for you!

    From our first meeting, Jenifer was super organized and focused on what we wanted from our wedding photos. She had examples of different styles of photos and helped us decide which we wanted. On the wedding day, Jenifer did an amazing job at rounding our family members up so we could have every group photo we wanted (and more!). During the reception, Jenifer got incredible candid shots that we, and our friends, will enjoy for years to come! Overall, if you're looking for a photographer who will put you first and go above and beyond to make your wedding special, then Jenifer is the right person for you!

    Amazing photographer; beautiful photos

    Jenifer was a wonderful photographer for our wedding. I was stressed out about a lot of aspects of wedding planning, but she made sure I never worried about the photography. From the very beginning Jenifer was highly organized, responded to questions quickly, and adapted to changing plans leading right up to the day of the wedding. My husband and I are not used to being photographed/ posing, but Jenifer made feel comfortable the entire time. We had our ceremony at Deep Cut Gardens in Middletown NJ, and since she was familiar with the venue already she knew all the best places in the park for photos. She also saved the day when the strap on my wedding dress broke! (She immediately knew who to call to bring a needle and thread within 10 minutes.) And best of all, the pictures turned out beautifully, with a super quick turnaround. We cannot recommend Jenifer highly enough!

    Amazing photographer and more...

    Jenifer was the first person I hired for my wedding. I immediately loved how laid back and flexible she was, not to mention how amazing her photographs were. Jenifer was super accommodating and helped me with so much, from her expert timeline, right down to DJ recommendations. She was genuinely invested in making sure our wedding was a wonderful event for us to remember. On the day of our wedding, she approached everything with a calm demeanor, and got the most beautiful photos. The moments she captured ranged from sweet little intricacies, to blatantly hilarious memories. It seemed like she was everywhere all at the same time. I can't say enough good things about her and I feel so lucky she helped us commemorate our event. It was the best day ever with photos to match.

    Excellent Photographer!

    Jenifer is an extraordinary photographer! She is exceptionally talented, VERY professional and a true pleasure to work with. She is extremely organized and thorough. From the start of the planning process to the end of the wedding day, she took the time to listen to our needs and made sure she fully understood our vision for the engagement photoshoot and wedding. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. She let us be ourselves and encouraged us to have fun! Her eye and perspective are beautiful and unique all while displaying classic elegance. She works tirelessly on the wedding timeline and reviews it weeks in advance to ensure the couple and their families are happy with the flow of the day. Her communication is excellent! She responds quickly and takes the time to answer all your questions. She leaves no stone unturned. The day of the wedding Jenifer brought her second shooter Jessica who was also very professional and easy to work with. The two were great together and everything went seamlessly during the wedding. They didn't skip a beat or miss a shot! Jenifer's work ethic is unparalleled. During my whole experience from planning to post wedding, Jenifer has been there to answer ALL questions (and there were A TON), review photos, help create thank you cards and walk me through our book selection process. It has been WONDERFUL working with Jenifer and my husband and I are sad it's coming to an end. I would HIGHLY recommend Jenifer Rutherford Photography! If you are looking for the all around perfect photographer......she's the one!! Her work is BEAUTIFUL!

    My husband and I highly recommend Jenifer. She is talented, responsive, and professional. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and gave us so many great suggestions for poses. She captured our special day beautifully. We love our photos!

    Totally wonderful experience

    Jen was amazing. from the very beginning, she was friendly, helpful, responsive, and professional! She really did go above and beyond- from helping me scope out different locations for our first look, to helping me organize my timeline and any answering any other wedding questions I had (even those not related to photography!), Jen was always there for us. We recently got our photos back and they are beautiful! I sent her a text just to tell her what a huge smile I had on my face looking through them- I honestly could not have been happier. She sends a link so you and your family/friends can view them online- they are beautifully organized and the site is super user friendly and easy to navigate. There is an option to purchase through the site as well which is very convenient. We had such a great experience with Jen, and would absolutely recommend her to anyone else looking for a talented and professional photographer (wedding, or otherwise!). Thanks a million, Jen!

    My wife and I can't say enough good things about Jenifer Rutherford Photography. She was incredibly professional and was very personable to deal with.

    Jennifer is not only an amazing photographer, but she is also extremely professional. We didn't even know she was there - she was quite stealthy! She got some wonderful candid shots of our day, and really captured the emotions that everyone was feeling. We are thrilled with our photos. She really took the time to find out what we wanted, and I believe that this was very helpful in us getting exactly what we wanted. I would highly recommend Jennifer!

    Jenifer was extremely responsive and helpful throughout the entire process. She was amazing to work with on the day of the wedding, and the photos came out better than we could have imagined! She even helped set us up with a vendor for our wedding invitations. I would highly recommend Jenifer Rutherford Photography to anyone in need of a wedding (or other type of) photographer.

    From the first moment we met to the very last second of the wedding night, Jenifer was amazing!! She made the stressful wedding process so calm and easy. She was so organized and structured that it was impossible for anything to go wrong. Jen puts her heart and soul into every photo and shot she takes and the pictures show for it. She made our wedding day perfect and we couldn't be happier!!

    If I could give Jenifer more than 5 stars I would! From the moment my husband and I met with her a year before our wedding day I knew working with her would be great. We had a great time getting to know her during our complementary engagement shoot, and when she started helping me organize the plan for photos on the day of my wedding I was in awe of her organization and detail while planning for my special day. Jen added a personal touch to everything that kept me smiling long after the day of my wedding. When I got my flash drive with all of my photos from the wedding it was attached to a beautiful key chain with a picture of my husband and I. When I got my albums she included a small pocket book album too. Jen truly is an amazing person and photographer. You will not regret working with her!

    My husband and I got married on Saturday, May 21, 2016. From the first meeting with Jen, I was blown away by her organization, attention to detail, and sweet, genuine personality – three things I absolutely needed from our wedding photographer. (It also didn’t hurt that she was recommended to me by two other brides!). Jen was quick to set up our engagement photos in Spring Lake, and so prepared for our wedding day. From quick responses to emails, to timeline planning, and finally helping us find the perfect locations for day-of photos. Unfortunately, every bride’s worst nightmare is rain on her wedding day, and on my wedding day, it poured. Jen and her assistant threw on their ponchos and got to work. It didn’t matter. She gave all effort to make sure our day was captured and our love was seen in our photos. She kept other vendors organized, and overall, she just blew me away. Not only did I get back 1000+ beautiful photos, I also made a great friend in Jen. Would remember her to anyone! You wouldn’t be disappointed!

    Jenifer was a pleasure to work with! She was so sweet and made my husband and I feel comfortable immediately. We had so much fun shooting our engagement pictures with her in anticipation of our big day! She worked around unfortunate weather the day of our wedding along with our families that both have many moving parts. She was able to capture all of the best moments during the entire day without ever being in the way. My husband and I - along with our family and friends - have had so much fun looking over every single shot. I would highly recommend Jenifer for your photography needs!

    Jenifer helped make my wedding day perfect. She is so approachable and organized, everything throughout the day went off without a hitch. She created a detailed time-line for the day which helped everyone remain on schedule and ensured we were able to get all the shots we wanted. The entire bridal party and family enjoyed working with Jen throughout the day and everyone appreciated her professionalism and direction. She immediately saw my vision and more than captured it in every photo. We also had our engagement photos with her and this was the first time my husband or I had ever been professionally photographed. We were nervous we would look very awkward but since Jen is so skilled at giving direction, every picture looked natural. It was great practice for the wedding day. All in all, her work is truly impeccable and I cannot wait to get our album from her. I do not think I could ever use a different photographer.

    Jenifer did an outstanding job satisfying all our wedding photography needs. From initial meetings to get to know us, scheduling engagement pictures, planning for the wedding day, and helping us with product selection, she was caring, creative, and thorough. She also provided referrals to other superb vendors. On the wedding day she was amazing. She was everywhere yet did not interfere with anything !!! The photos were available quickly after the wedding and are outstanding, especially her ability to plan poses and get the colors and lighting to perfection, My wife and feel I feel lucky to have had her expertise and warm nature available to us on our special day. We recommend her highly without reservation.

    Jenifer and her assistant Brandi photographed our wedding at the Molly Pitcher on June 6th. Throughout the pre-wedding process, Jenifer was extremely responsive and addressed all of my concerns leading up to the big day, including scheduling logistics for pictures on our wedding day. We met Jenifer when we took our engagement pictures and my husband and I both commented to each other how comfortable we were with her. I sent Jenifer poses that I liked and she managed to catch all of them and more priceless moments on our wedding day and we barely noticed she and Brandi were there. Jenifer was a trooper and went along with my plan for wedding pictures down in Spring Lake before the wedding and even stayed an extra 30 minutes and didn't charge us any overtime. Within 6 weeks of the wedding Jenifer got us our wedding shots and I can't even express how happy we are with how they came out! I would definitely recommend Jenifer to my friends getting married in the area in the years to come. Thanks Jen!

    We knew from the start that Jenifer was the perfect fit for our wedding. She gives you that feeling of comfort and her professionalism will put you at ease knowing that your pictures are going to turn out fantastic. She is more then willing to entertain any ideas you have for specifically staged pictures. She is a consummate professional with a creative mind that she will think of the perfect pose or place that will capture the perfect feeling. I highly recommend her for any event. You won't be disappointed.

    I am in awe at what Jenifer can do. She's an incredible person and a sweetheart. It was so easy to pick her as a photographer after our first conversation. She worked with me from the beginning and offered many suggestions regarding how to photograph the family with our limited schedule. Everything worked out great thanks to Jenifer. One of the bridesmaids remarked that when she was without her cell phone and couldn't get a picture, Jenifer was right there to get the shot for her. I highly recommend Jenifer, especially if you want to be stress-free when it comes to your photographer!
