    Couldn’t Be Happier

    Jennifer photographed my husband and my wedding in July 2023. Not only are we beyond pleased with our photos, but she was also so lovely to work with. She was professional, personable, and very familiar with the industry. She was very organized and easy to communicate with. She kept us informed throughout the wedding planning process. From engagement shoots, to our wedding- she made the photography experience feel natural and flow smoothly. She even took the time to learn both my husband and my family members names before the wedding. Our families still comment on how impressed they are and how personable she was. She truly captured the love and joy we felt on our wedding day. We couldn’t be happier or thank her enough.

    the BEST wedding photographer!!

    Where to begin... Jennifer was the photographer for my husband and my April 2023 wedding. Before that, she was the photographer for my sister's two weddings (one small, intimate ceremony at our parents' house during peak pandemic in 2020, and again at the Baltimore zoo for their 1 year vow renewal ceremony in 2021). The only thing I was 100% certain about when planning my wedding (besides my husband) was that I wanted to hire Jennifer. Not only was she wonderful to work with each time - professional, efficient, organized, and fun - but her work is absolutely gorgeous. My husband and I (and our entire family) were thrilled when Jennifer confirmed that she was able to photograph our wedding in Bucks County, PA. Besides the traditional photos, I also asked her specifically to take pictures of our wedding flowers, because I was extremely jealous of the photos she had taken for my sister, and I knew she would capture the bright colors and tiny details.

    Well, the day of the wedding came and there was torrential rain for almost the entire 9 hours that Jennifer was with us. This didn’t phase Jennifer one bit - she managed to scope out the best covered spots for posed pictures and still captured all the beautiful flowers and greenery the venue had. She made my husband and me feel comfortable, beautiful, and at ease. Additionally, Jennifer’s documentary-style and candid shots illustrate the joy and love that we felt for each other, as well as the fun that our guests were having… looking at the pictures it seems like she was literally everywhere at once! Her work speaks for itself and is bold, beautiful, and comprehensive. She sent a “preview” of pictures only 2 weeks afterwards, and the entire set two months after. It was an amazingly quick turnaround and the work is more than we could have hoped. I cannot recommend Jennifer’s work enough. Thank you so much Jennifer for capturing our day!!

    Better than we even hoped for!

    My wife and I both agree Jennifer was the best vendor we worked with during the whole wedding experience. She understood exactly the vibe we wanted with our pictures and gave us an absolute gem of a photo gallery that we still can't take our eyes off six months later. We wanted a very friendly, warm, candid style of photography and Jennifer was able to deliver exactly that. She was the consummate professional during the wedding day itself and was able to direct people in and out of photos with speed and efficiency, and she knew exactly how to get kids to smile nicely. We never noticed her or felt like she was in the way, but she was still able to capture our wedding day in a full and complete form. We would highly, highly recommend to anyone.

    Jennifer's photography is one of the things you can count on to go right in your wedding!

    Jennifer is a star professional photographer! I think the best way to describe her style is stealthy on top of being candid! She comes with extensive and rich experience in events of different ethnicities but she is not presumptive - she will approach your event with the same freshness and excitement as any. You'll be lucky to have her photograph you :)

    Made Our Dream Wedding

    We knew Jennifer was the perfect fit for us 5 minutes into our first meeting. She was personable, kind, and enthusiastic. She really seemed to get our vision, and she went above and beyond for us every step of the way. On our wedding day, she took so many candid photos that expertly captured the emotions my husband and I want to remember forever. Our wedding would not have been the same without her.

    Wonderful, Artistic, Comfortable, Warm, Natural Photographer

    We loved working with Jennifer!!!!
    She took a very rainy day and made it "work" while also making it special and real. Jennifer felt like "family" and "got us" which I particularly loved. I am not someone that loves posing for the camera and she helped me (all of us) feel comfortable. Jennifer managed to take photos that reflected the power of love in our families and the intimacy of celebrating a precious marriage ceremony at home where we all feel our best, but also feel our most vulnerable. Having met her virtually, and then in person, I couldn't imagine feeling safer with anyone but her. The icing on the cake is that she is a dog lover which to me is the "best" reflection of who you are...warm, kind, interested in connecting, enjoying being a part of "the pack" and a gifted and creative photographer who tells stories through her work. Jennifer is a storyteller of the best kind. So, thank you so much Jennifer for being you and for showing the best and most real representation of "us" as we celebrated Brett and Lucie's love for each other. We look forward to catching up and working together again.

    Beautiful wedding photos

    Jennifer captured our wedding at The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore. There was a quick turnaround time to receive all of our wedding photos, and we could not be more in love with them! Each photo perfectly captures the memories we have around the zoo prior to the wedding with the penguins, flamingos, and elephants and of the wedding ceremony itself. Every precious moment of our ceremony was captured. She also took family portraits, which turned out amazing! Jennifer did a great job helping everyone to feel comfortable, which was especially meaningful to us since my husband and in-laws do not usually enjoy having their picture taken. Jennifer took a lot of beautiful candid photos as well. Many of the photos we treasure the most are the ones taken when we did not notice. Jennifer puts in all of the work of capturing the memories being made, allowing everyone else to just enjoy the day!

    Camera-Ninja, skillful and nice.

    Jennifer took pictures of our wedding back in December 2021, and she was very professional and courteous. I’m very camera shy, and normally hate having pictures of myself but she was very inviting and made the photography experience flow smoothly. For the actual ceremony , she was a literal fly on the wall. Had not noticed her at all, and was amazed at the camera shots she got of us afterwards. Like some camera-ninja. Would very much recommend her services.

    Perfection

    Jen is an ICON! My sister hired Jen for her wedding in 2016 and I knew we had to scoop her up for ours this past December. Jen was very low key throughout the wedding ceremony and reception, truly a ninja. She had so many great ideas for photo locations around Mt. Vernon as well and the photos came out perfectly. No frills, no filters. She caught so many emotional and fun moments. We are so happy with our wedding photos and can't recommend Jen enough.

    Very highly recommend!

    Jennifer was our wedding photographer and she was absolutely fantastic!! She was responsive and easy to work with and had a fun attitude. Jennifer took the time to understand us and the types of photos we were interested in and captured everything from the happiness, to the candid laughs, to beautiful scenery, to small details and so much more! We couldn't be happier with the photos that Jennifer recently sent us!!

    So glad we went with Jennifer!

    Jennifer had been super responsive and flexible, always listening to us which is why I had chosen her in the first place. When the day finally arrived, I was so overwhelmed and wasn't sure how the photos would turn out. But Jennifer is a true, consummate professional- she quickly and stealthily did her work so diligently that everything turned out even more beautifully than I could have hoped for, without us even spending much time or thought on taking pictures. We just went about our wedding day and got to sit back and enjoy all the wonderful photos! Can't thank or recommend her enough.

    Incredible Wedding Photography Experience

    Jennifer is so incredibly kind, bubbly, and an overall wonderful person to work with. She is extremely flexible, and truly knows how to capture the most beautiful photos. She has excellent attention of detail, and knows how to pick the best lighting. 100% recommend!

    Fantastic experience!!!!

    My now-husband and I were fortunate to be able to work with Jennifer for our wedding, and she was truly wonderful. She had such great energy, and got so many fantastic, natural looking shots - an impressive feat on its own, but she was also amazing with our gaggle of high-energy nieces and nephews!! :) When our original photo location plans had to change literally 48 hours before the wedding, she took it all in stride and made lemonade from what could have been lemons - we felt 100% at ease in her hands, and we had a lot of fun to boot!! We can’t recommend her highly enough!

    Quality of service, Responsive and professionalism was on point! We also didn't have to wait at all for the superb edited images. This was a last minute booking for a surprise engagement that Jennifer delivered on! Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer

    Jennifer was our elopement photographer and we can't recommend her highly enough. Working with her was so much fun! She has a very bubbly, sweet personality and made us feel at ease and like we could be ourselves while shooting our photos. And the photos themselves came out so beautifully and truly captured who we are as a couple. We're so in love with them and so happy with our experience! Thank you so much for everything, Jennifer!

    An Excellent Eye for Candids

    There are few wedding photographers in the Baltimore area better than Jennifer McMenamin. My wife and I are generally adverse to taking or posing for photos, so we wanted to make sure that the pictures from our wedding would be pristine. Jennifer came at the recommendation of our venue coordinator (the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore). Seeing her work online, we were convinced by how much her work stood out from the other photographers we reviewed.

    After my wife and I had to postpone our original summer 2020 large-scale wedding, instead opting for a pandemic-conscious backdoor affair, Jen was the first vendor to respond back, and immediately offered to join us at our more intimate ceremony, even travelling to New Jersey. Before the big day, she ensured that she had the names of all attendees and could accommodate any specifications, making sure to cross any t’s and dot any i’s. The day of the wedding, though she was forced to wear a mask (due to the pandemic), it was clear that she was smiling the entire time. While getting ready, she was ebullient, personable and had an eye for framing candid pictures, equally able both to help ease wedding-day jitters and blend into the background. During the ceremony and reception on a fairly small porch, we did not even notice her despite the limited space.

    When we received her work this week, we were absolutely delighted with the photos of our joyous night. We got back an abundance of pictures from each portion of our event. She was accommodating of featuring any personal requests and any family-keepsakes we wanted incorporated. We could not be more excited with her work and are excited to have her back photographing our larger anniversary ceremony next year as well.

    Beautiful Photos That Captured the Joy of Our Wedding

    The photos that Jennifer McMenamin took were gorgeous. She captured how happy and excited my husband and I were to be getting married. I love our photos and am so happy I have them to reflect the memories of our wedding. Jennifer was easy to work with. She responded to questions and requests promptly and she delivered the final product as promised. I highly recommend her and her team. You will not be disappointed.

    Highly Recommend

    Jennifer was our photographer for our wedding and I cannot thank her enough for everything she did for us. Jennifer traveled to NJ for our engagement shoot and for our housewarming/wedding shower. She was also present at our rehearsal dinner. One of my husband's family members actually asked if she was family because she was so kind and present at so many family events! So needless to say Jennifer was extremely kind, flexible, and easy to work with. She took the time to get to know us as clients and assured we would capture all photos we wanted. Jennifer eased our nerves in front of the camera. Her pictures are absolutely beautiful and easy to access. We have joke with Jennifer and call her "our official family photographer" as we plan to work with her in the future again. We highly, highly recommend Jennifer

    Jennifer captured our day so perfectly! We had such an amazing experience working with Jennifer at our Engagement session and on our wedding day. You can see the raw emotions and joy in every single picture. Jennifer is easy to work with, kind and so talented. She is truly amazing and I would recommend her to anyone!

    My husband and I chose to work with Jennifer after looking at her amazing portfolio and meeting with her early on in our wedding planning. We learned about how flexible she is and how she works with her assitant to get all the amazing shots of the special day. We knew we would work well together and we had all the trust in the world that her talent would produce the memories that would last a lifetime. Our wedding day had expected complications like getting access to the military base where we prepared and Jennifer and her assistant worked well with the security access process. I don't know all about the behind-the-scenes issues she may have encountered but I do know that she may have competed with one family photographer. Thankfully there weren't more! I am so glad to know that this did not effect the final product of her photos. She is definitely a professional and rolls with the punches. Thank you for the memories Jennifer!

She is so friendly, down to earth, and easy to work with... not to mention she takes gorgeous photos! It unfortunately rained on our wedding day, but Jennifer's creativity with our inside shots totally made up for the lack of outdoor pictures. We are so happy with everything!

    Jennifer was an amazing photographer! She was easy to correspond with the entire time, and did a beautiful engagement shoot for us as well as our wedding photographs. She turned around our pictures in time for us to use them for Save the Dates (engagement) and thank you notes (wedding). We loved going through the photos after the day and they do tell such a story! Plus, I was completely comfortable with Jen and her assistant the whole time, which helped me stay relaxed on the day of.

    I adore Jennifer! She's seriously amazing. We first met her because she was the photographer for my cousin's wedding two years ago. The pictures were phenomenal and my cousin raved about her. We met with her and were immediately sold. We love that her photographs truly tell the story about the day. She isn't just a talented photographer, but she also did a great job making us feel comfortable and special and she really listened to what we wanted. I will recommend Jennifer for anyone and everyone for any event.

    Jennifer McMenamin is second to none. As a former journalist, she is more than a photographer, she is a story teller. And her photographs tell the authentic and beautiful love stories of the couples who are fortunate enough to book her. Look no further, highly recommend. Once you have a date, make her your first call.
