    Amazing photographer

    We used Zenobia for our wedding pictures and working with Jen was wonderful! She was very responsive (which was great considering we had to push our wedding multiple times due to Covid), and very easy to work with. She spent time, before the wedding, getting to know who we were as a couple, and the type of vibe we were looking with our pictures. On the day of the wedding, she was so much fun and had our entire wedding party cracking up! She was great to work with and I highly recommend using Zenobia Studios for your wedding day!

    Jen is an ARTIST!! You will love her!!

    I chose Jen based on the recommendation of a co-worker and it was a great decision! We were getting married on New Years Eve and so many photographers I was seeing had very soft, washed out looking photos - that was not what I wanted. We did our engagement photos first and dragged her all around Boston - she was a great sport. The photos came out amazing - beautifully edited to pick up the brightness of spring! As the wedding approached we touched base to set up a timeline and photos I knew I wanted. Our bridal party and family could not stop commenting after about how amazing she was and how comfortable she made them feel - nothing felt staged or fake. She uses light and your surroundings to get some amazing photos. The final photos came back quickly as well. I highly recommend Jen & Zenobia - they are worth every penny and you will not regret you choice!!

    This is a little bit embarrassing, but I started stalking Zenobia's facebook page two years before I actually got engaged. They photographed my husband's cousin's wedding and once I saw their photos, I truly became obsessed. Fast forward two years and I knew photography was the first thing I wanted to book and I immediately set up time to meet with Jen. From our first meeting, it was so apparent how passionate she is about what she does and it shows in all of her photos. Not to mention how her awesome personality shines everytime you see her. Obviously, we booked almost immediately. She was always responsive to all of my questions, helped me build out a timeline for all of our photo locations for the big day (we went to three different locations to do all of our photos before heading to the venue and had to battle Newport traffic), and was just always a pleasure to talk to. And the photos. Oh the photos! All thousand pictures - and yes, I mean literally a thousand - were just breathtaking. We have gotten so many compliments on them. Our families cannot stop gushing about how beautiful they were. Not only were her pictures amazing, but she is so much fun and keeps everyone smiling the entire time you're taking photos. I was so disappointed when it was the end of the night and I had to say goodbye to Jen and her co-shooter. Trust me, you will have no regrets going with Zenobia!

    We learned of Zenobia Studios through an extended family member whose wedding they had photographed. After seeing the creative, unique, and downright beautiful photos from their engagement shoot and wedding day, our decision was made! I can't say ENOUGH good things about my experience with Jen and Zenobia Studios. Wedding planning and selecting the right vendors can be stressful, but Jen was the only photographer that we met with and she made our decision remarkably easy. From the very start she took the time to learn about what was most important to us and help us define our vision for the day. Not only did she provide us with the most spectacular engagement and wedding photos, but she was an absolute joy to work with along the way. Jen is easily one of the funniest, sweetest, and most friendly people we have had the pleasure of encountering and her creativity is second to none. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, as if we were hanging out with an old friend, and captured the most beautiful memories. On our wedding day, Jen and her associate, Dave, joined us bright and early, capturing every moment as we got ready, walked down the aisle, and danced the night away. We now have, quite literally, thousands of pictures to remember our special day. To top it off, Jen worked her creative magic again as she hand-picked the absolute perfect leather album (in one of our wedding colors, no less) and strategically placed the outrageous number of photos that we requested (and also some extras that she just happened to love!). I would HIGHLY recommend Jen and any of her associates at Zenobia Studios. We will surely be lifelong clients and are looking forward to having Zenobia Studios capture many special memories to come.

    We honestly could not have asked for a more amazing wedding photographer! Jen is so creative and we got so many amazing shots from our wedding day! Our wedding book is also spectacular! I could not recommend Zenobia more!

    Jen is amazing! I loved my engagement and wedding photos. She is so talented and fun to be around. And I was thrilled to get all of my wedding photos just a few weeks after the wedding. My family and friends keep commenting on how beautiful and artistic the photos are. I highly recommend Zenobia Studios!

    Kendall photographed our wedding and we honestly couldn't have asked for a better photographer! She was SO down to earth and laid back and not pushy at all. She made us feel super comfortable with her from our initial meeting. She had great ideas and even went and scoped out spots to take pictures between the ceremony and reception. All of the members of the bridal party, our parents, and even our friends, relatives, and other wedding guests told my husband and I how much fun they thought our photographers were (Matt, one of the associate photographers was Kendall's assistant for our wedding and he was equally as fun, laid back, and down to earth!!). Photography was the most important part of our wedding, in our opinion, so I did a lot of research and looked at a lot of blogs and read a lot of reviews before selecting Kendall. We were blown away by how much we loved the pictures and she didn't make us do anything that we didn't want to do (no forced awkward shots), but pretty much let us tell her what pictures we wanted, while she threw in some great ideas of her own. We were extremely impressed with how quickly the turnaround was for getting our pictures, and we also were extremely pleased that we got to have the rights to our pictures and were allowed to share them with our family and friends. The pictures were amazing, but honestly it was Kendall's amazing personality and great ideas that made her the perfect choice for our wedding. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone who is looking for a photographer, which I have already done to friends that have gotten engaged in the past few months. Overall, we couldn't have been happier with Kendall, the pictures, and the overall package that we selected from Zenobia!

    I cannot recommend the team at Zenobia Studios enough. Jen was our main photographer and she went above and beyond to accommodate us throughout the wedding planning process. She is so sweet and is always available to answer questions, she helped with the timeline for the day when I was unsure of the best plan.

    We also had the photolounge at our wedding and it was a huge hit. Having been to many weddings we were excited to have an actual professional photographer on-site to be capturing the moments with the amazing collection of props that Zenobia has. Definitely would recommend the photoloung over a photobooth for this reason and also the fact that you can fit so many more people in the shot, they are some of our favorite moments of the night.

    Throughout our engagement shoot it was clear we made the right choice, Jen is easy to work with an knows how to make you feel comfortable while still capturing that artistic shot she is known for. Kendall was the second shooter on our wedding day and she was the perfect complement and fit to the day. We ended up having a rain storm on the wedding day and they both were willing to stay out in it to capture amazing photos. The photos from our wedding day are gorgeous.

    Kendall also designed our save the dates and thank you cards which we received to many compliments on. Pictures were turned to us promptly (way before I ever expected to be able to see them) and the album was also done earlier than expected. Zenobia Studios is by far one of our favorite vendors from our wedding day and we can't wait to continue to work with them on other special occassions!

    We had Kendall as our engagement/wedding photographer and couldn't have been more thrilled with the service. Wedding photographs have become so boring and dated that I was really looking for something young and unique when it came to our day. Kendall was able to do that for us and not only produced amazing pictures, but also won over the bridal party, our families, and our guests easily.

    Most importantly, I want to leave a recommendation for the Zenobia Photobooth service... We've seen a million photobooths at weddings these days, but the high quality photos and props really put theirs a step ahead of the competition. It's not cheap, but if you are going to do it better to do it right!

    Love Love Love. Would 100% use again.

    We felt like the luckiest couple in the world for finding Kendall to be our engagement/wedding photographer. She was professional, brilliantly creative, incredibly sweet and helpful, and available for wedding planning moral support and tips. Kendall is a gem, and crazy talented! We can't wait to work with her again in the future for other life milestones.

    Hire them. If you are looking at this review, stop looking at other reviews and hire these photographers. They are AMAZING! They are the funnest, most creative people we've met. They're dedicated too. It was seriously 100 degrees at our wedding, and they were everywhere getting all these awesome shots. I even saw them on climbed up one of the fire escapes getting an aerial shot! Oh, and my fiance (now husband) is notoriously camera shy. They brought the husband-turned-GQ-model right out of him. He was striking poses I didn't even know were in him!
    They are totally worth it, so stop reading this review, and contact them! You won't be disappointed! You'll be BLOWN AWAY!

    From the second we met Jen, we knew she was the perfect person to document our wedding! She is fun, creative and AMAZING and so is her staff! Their pictures speak for themselves! We couldn't have had better photographers or pictures! Thank you Jen, Kendall, and the entire Zenobia staff for documenting our day perfectly! We highly recommend Zenobia to any couple getting married in Newport!

    I can't say enough good things about Kendall Pavan and Zenobia Studios. They were extremely professional and responded quickly to all calls and emails. And Kendall was so flexible and easy to work with! She was full of amazing suggestions, and SO sweet. All the guests raved about her, how nice she was, and the quality of the photos. During dinner, she set up an iPad in a nice frame to show some of the photos she'd taken earlier, and there was a crowd around it for the rest of the night! I had many, many people tell me that they were some of the nicest wedding photos they'd ever seen. Even the caterer had nice things to say, and they see a LOT of photographers. Hiring her was a great decision and I would do it again in a second.

    Jenny and Kendall were absolutely amazing. They are professionals who really work with their clients to align on a vision for the event. We got married at Belle Mer on April 28 and our pictures from the event are everything we imagined them to be and MORE. If you're getting married in Rhode Island you should 100% consider this studio. Coming from New York, I also thought their prices were totally reasonable expecially given the amount of time they spend with their clients leading up to and on their special day.

    I just want to thank Kendall with Zenobia Studios for doing a great job at my wedding! Kendall's personality is second to none! I actually found Kendall at Hillside Country Club where I not only had my wedding at, I am the events coordinator there as well. She had come in for another fabulous wedding and as I watched her interact with everyone and how great she was at always making sure she was at the the right place at the right time for snapping the best shots, I knew imediately I had to have her! I would highly recommend her to ALL my future brides or anyone else looking for a great photographer! Thank you again Kendall for everything! It was a pleasure working with you!!!!!

    During our wedding reception a few of our guests called us over to look at some photos that were posted on a digital frame by our photographer, Jen. Everyone kept commenting on how beautiful the photos were and once we caught a glimpse of them we couldn't believe it. Jen and Jaime from Zenobia did an absolutely amazing job. They were professional and so easy to work with. When going over the wedding day plan, any suggestion we had was never overlooked. They gave us creative direction, but nothing felt forced. The lighting and clarity in the photos was unreal, we really couldn't have asked for anything better. Our guests are still talking about them and we look forward to sharing them for years to come!

    We cannot say enough great things about Zenobia! We chose Zenobia Photography Studios to photograph our wedding in September 2011 because we loved their style and Jen did not disappoint. Jen was fun but professional and the pictures turned out fabulous. We gave Jen full control and the pictures turned out better than we ever imagined. In fact, we were having so much fun that we were\r\ndisappointed when we had to stop taking pictures and head into our reception. Kendall did an awesome job putting together our wedding album and we have heard nothing but compliments on how it turned out. The only complaint we have is that Zenobia changed\r\nthe rates for their albums after we booked them but before our wedding and we did not find out about the price change until it came time for us to order our album. They did give us the pre-order special pricing on the album, so we are fully satisfied. Overall, we are very happy that we chose Zenobia to help us remember our wedding. We have told all of our friends getting married about them and would recommend that anyone in the MA, CT, or RI area check them out.

    Jenny and Kendall are AMAZING!

    Zenobia is wonderful company to work with you! They captured great shots and really helped us walk through our day and think things through on what we wanted, what were the important moments and who were the key people we wanted with us for photos...

    Framed wedding photos were Christmas presents for our families and all courtesy of the wonderful work of Zenobia - capturing the love, enthusiasm and happiness of our wedding day! Thanks Jenny and Kendall for all your work!

    OH! anddddd they did our beautiful thank you card - custom matched the colors and designs we wanted and were just so responsive and friendly! We are now preparing our album and Kendall has been a rock star.

    A pleasure from start to finish - I highly recommend them! xox
