    Above and Beyond Expectations

    Jenna was so absolutely wonderful to work with. She has a great artistic eye, a great work ethic, and did a truly phenomenal job with the photography for our engagement session and wedding.

    Jenna is not only a fantastic photographer, but also a genuinely lovely human being. My husband and I both really loved her as a person the more time we spent with her. We had multiple family members comment on how nice she was, and what a great/ positive energy she had. She's the absolute sweetest and there's no one else we would have rather had documenting our wedding. Beyond her photography skills, Jenna's genuine warmth and positive energy made for an even better than expected experience. We look forward to having some sort of opportunity to work with her in the future. We have so many awesome photos that really capture the essence of how the day felt for us, and that really bring back some wonderful memories.

    Jenna is one of those special humans that you rarely get to encounter in your lifetime. She's one of a kind - talented in so many ways and so very personable. We could not be happier that we were lucky enough to hire her as our photographer. The only thing we would've changed is that we would have hired her for more services & for later into the night. Her work is absolutely priceless to us and something we will cherish forever.

    Jenna is a gem of a person, and we wholeheartedly recommend her without reservation. If you're considering booking with her, rest assured that you'll not only receive exceptional photography but also an exceptional experience with a truly exceptional individual.

    Jenna is my DREAM photographer!

    Going into wedding planning, my husband and I had a specific aesthetic in mind –we wanted natural, candid, and artistic photos that really capture emotion (nothing too bright, overly-posed, or traditional). So when I came across Jenna’s Instagram profile, I had to reach out! During the engagement shoot, I was a bit nervous because I usually feel so awkward in front of the camera. But Jenna made me feel so comfortable and her constant reassurance made me feel confident! She’s so sweet and personable that it felt like a friend was taking our photos. When we got our engagement photos back, I couldn’t believe how amazing they turned out! On our wedding day, Jenna made sure to capture all the shots we mentioned we wanted, which I really appreciated. She was also great at keeping us on schedule, while remaining her cool, chill self (just being around her really helped calm the wedding nerves)! We just received our full gallery from our wedding and I am absolutely obsessed with our photos. She did such an amazing job, and I can’t thank her enough for capturing our special day exactly how we wanted.

    The sweetest photographer!

    We booked Jenna almost immediately after meeting her and reviewing some of her work. She was warm and caring from the start of our relationship. She included engagement shots as part of our wedding package and even though they weren't something we were looking for, she kindly explained that they are a great way to warm up in front of the camera + with her. She was so right and now we have beautiful photos that capture our love perfectly in our favorite places in Brooklyn. Can't wait to have Jenna capture our wedding day!

    Jenna is the most amazing photographer and person ❤️

    I ADORE Jenna. I found her after hiring my planner, as they had worked together previously, and when I saw her portfolio I knew she was the one I wanted to work with.

    The entire experience of working with Jenna was a joy, and made my wedding planning experience that much easier. From our first call, to scheduling our engagement shoot, to the handy guide she provides (seriously, I could not be more grateful), to planning out the final details of our wedding day.

    My (now) husband and I never took professional photos together and we were a nervous wreck before our engagement photos. But looking back at them you wouldn’t think so because of how relaxed Jenna made us feel. She really understood how to direct us so that we felt comfortable, and my favorite part was just hearing HER get excited when she got a shot she knew we’d love. I was overwhelmed with emotion seeing them because they were beautiful and felt so perfectly us without being over the top. It made me excited to work with her again for our wedding day, and I knew I had nothing to worry about.

    For our wedding day, Jenna really went above and beyond. My whole family fell in love with her!! She’s not just your photographer, she’s your friend, and in a day that can be filled with chaos, she was my calm. We let Jenna’s vision lead because she took so much care into understanding me as a bride and us as a couple to get the most beautiful photographs. I cried seeing our sneak peeks and I can’t wait to see how the entire batch looks turns out!!!

    I wish I could put into words amazing she is to work with… but really, just take a look at her work, and know that you’re not only getting a wonderful photographer, but a kind person who’s love for her work really shines through in the way she interacts with you and the beautiful photographs she takes. I will find any excuse I can to work with her again ❤️

    Jenna is the BEST!

    As part of our wedding package, Jenna did our engagement photos and we were simply blown away. Not only does she have the sweetest personality, her photos are breathtaking. She exceeded our expectations. Seeing our engagement photos, made us even more excited for our wedding next September! Thank you, Jenna! 🙌🏼

    Simply perfect

    Jenna is an amazing talent. From the minute we found her instagram, we knew we had to meet with her. My husband and I aren’t exactly natural models, but Jenna brought it out of us for sure. The way she can frame us in the most natural way creates a real sense of authenticity in her photography and it comes through for all of her clients.

    Jenna didn’t stop at just getting the basics, she met with us to relieve my nerves on timelines, photo coordination (we had a LOT of family pictures to snap). All around amazing to work with, professional and kind. I honestly only regret not having her around for longer.

    Jenna’s photography will be the cornerstone of remembering our day for generations to come.

We were sooo impressed.. we love every single photo she took! We absolutely can’t wait for the wedding day photos we know they will be amazing!

    Working with Jenna was a gift!

    Jenna was an unbelievable find. From the second we saw her portfolio and talked to her over the phone we wanted to work with her. She clearly LOVES what she does and she's SO good at it.

    We had the privilege of working with Jenna for our whole wedding weekend. I had forgotten to tell her we moved locations because of rain and she just rolled with the punches. I never had to worry about her, she was always present for all the major moments, while being quiet and discrete. She also let me lead when we were running late with time on photos while also encouraging and reminding me to get photos I had missed. We were a team and I felt I could depend on her from the second I met her.

    I have never felt more beautiful in my entire life than in the lens of Jenna's camera. Jenna's ability to capture the right moment was what made me want to work with her. She truly understood what our wedding was about and I cannot imagine working with anybody else but her.

    Jenna is a true professional. She was willing to have uncomfortable conversations with family in order to make our vision come true. She respected our values and ensured that we got exactly what we cared the most about.

    Her second shooter Emily was SO sweet and helpful. We are so grateful for Emily and glad we got to work with her on our most special day.

    Jenna is a MUST. She will be the best addition to your wedding team. She feels like your best friend and big sister. And isn't that who you want taking your photos on your most important day?

    The absolute best photographer!

    you are looking for an amazing photographer, look no further!! Hiring Jenna as our photographer was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. She was so helpful and easy to get along with from start to finish. She made us feel soo comfortable and not one bit awkward (even though both my husband and I were super nervous about taking so many pics). Her vibe and energy made the day stress free. She is so calm and easy to be around, her work is absolutely amazing! I would recommend her 100 times over and look forward to using her again in the future!

    Amazing experience with Jenna!

    Jenna shot our engagement in January 2020. We knew we wanted to use her for our wedding day after seeing the pictures and working with her that day, we didn’t even consider anyone else! Our wedding pictures are everything we wanted and more! She worked with us during Covid relocation/ planning of different dates with no hesitation, quick response and ease. She made wedding pictures 0 stress, easy, flawless and so much fun! We are so thankful and love that we have amazing pictures to look back on always. Thanks Jenna!!!!

    I love her style!

    Jenna is mainly based in New York, but is from the DC/VA area originally. That being said, I am so grateful that she traveled all the way to our wedding in Leesburg, VA (wayyy out from the city)! I'm also a pretty picky person when it comes to photography styles and was looking for something more contemporary and not too glam/glowy like traditional photos. Once I saw examples of Jenna's work, I felt less worried about my wedding photos and knew I'd get what I wanted.
    From the time she showed up until the end of the event, Jenna was very patient, professional, and accommodating. I say this because she had to deal with my husband and his friends' silliness all day (thanks, Jenna!). She was great at capturing everyone's natural expressions, especially mine because I'm usually very camera shy.
    Overall, I'm very pleased with all of our photos and can not wait to have my favorite ones printed! Definitely would recommend her if you are looking for more modern looking wedding photos!

    The best experience!!

    Jenna was fantastic to work with! Friendly, professional and great communication and planning the entire time. On the day of, she helped keep us on schedule and was still able to get all the pictures that we wanted with the perfect lighting. Most importantly, the pictures are wonderful and exactly what we were hoping for. Thank you, Jenna, for capturing our day so perfectly!

    Photos we'll cherish for a lifetime!

    Jenna is such a sweetheart, a total joy to work with and her photos are incredible! She photographed my wedding and the pictures turned out wonderfully (and she somehow made us look great, despite our puffy, crying faces). She captured the emotion of the day perfectly. I'd hire her again in a heartbeat and recommend her wholeheartedly!

    Wonderful experience!

    Working with Jenna was an amazing experience! Jenna was very professional and organized throughout the process. We highly recommend her!

    Before our wedding day, she made sure to meet with us months prior to discuss our timeline and specific details to photograph day-of, including hiring a second photographer, which she was able to do for us.

    On our wedding day, Jenna was prompt, extremely flexible and brought great energy. She put everyone at ease, even when having to herd our family to take group photos. She got great candid shots throughout the day and kept us relaxed during posed photos.

    After the wedding, Jenna kept us posted on the turnaround time. She produced amazing photos for us--some moments we hadn't remembered until we saw them! Jenna really captured the happiness and love we felt that day in her photos, which shows when you look at any of her photos.

    Overall, we're incredibly pleased with Jenna's quality of work. We've even hired her again to take photos at another event!

    Loved working with Jenna! Super friendly, quality work, and professional!

    Jenna was very accommodating, even traveling out of state very early to make our morning wedding. She was kind, accommodating, easy to work with, and felt like a friend from the beginning, and I love her editing style!
