“Her time and attention to detail is truly unparalleled, and she was such a joy and blessing to have on our wedding day.”
Every time I see one of our wedding photos, it puts a smile on my face. She so perfectly captured the giddy energy I had and every time I see them, I feel it again. She made the most perfect beautiful wedding album for us too! Her time and attention to detail is truly unparalleled, and she was such a joy and blessing to have at our wedding day.

“Jennifer and her team are
nothing short of amazing.
From our engagement photos to our wedding and everything in between- absolutely fantastic! Our photos look like they could be in a magazine, are timeless and classic, and are something we will treasure for years and years. Not only is she knowledgable about weddings – she is kind, caring, and did an outstanding job running our day and went out of her way every time! We couldn’t have done it without her.

“I cannot say enough good things about Jennifer!”
From our first conversation with Jen, we immediately knew we wanted her to be a part of our day. She is incredibly talented at what she does and always makes you feel comfortable. We can’t wait to have her photograph the next stages of our lives.
– Molly & brayton
“She was the perfect mix of qualities you want in a photographer: professional, talented, creative, personable, funny, and experienced.”
My husband and I truly cannot say enough good things about her! Jen designed our wedding album after our wedding and her attention to detail and creativity was unmatched– plus she’s such a genuinely kind and caring person. “
– COURTNEY & SAM
“They are more than photographers…”
I can’t even begin to say how much Scott and I absolutely loved working with Jen and Beth. They are absolutely amazing photographers, and even more so, literal gems to work with. She was so professional, and yet so personable, which made it very easy and normal to be photographed. We laughed, cried, laughed, and cried some more. They are more than photographers. They genuinely care for you and will make your day perfect!
– Dua & Scott
“She quickly exceeded my already high expectations.”
I wanted a classic, timeless style for our photos – I knew Jen was the right choice for us. When we got our engagement photos back, they quickly exceeded my already high expectations, and our wedding photos are just another level. After seeing the photos, a smattering of comments from our friends/family include “magazine-worthy”, “truly the most beautiful wedding photos I’ve ever seen”, and “these make me believe in love again”. Also, not only is she an incredible photographer, she’s a wonderful person. We love her and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any couple.
