THEY HAVE THE KINDEST THINGS TO SAY
“Her photos make me believe in love again!”
I wanted a classic, timeless style for our photos – one where we wouldn’t look back in 20 years and cringe. Based on her portfolio and other reviews, 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. Also, not only is she an incredible photographer, she’s a wonderful person! Super organized, super kind, and super-efficient – she even had our wedding photos back to us within a month. We love her and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any couple.
– Chloe & Kian

When you choose JWP as your wedding photographer, you are not only investing in extraordinary wedding photos, but you are also investing in an incredibly kind, professional, and experienced photographer who is whole-heartedly dedicated to helping you make your dream wedding a reality. They are the gold standard.
– Maile & Nick
“Beth was SO patient and kind when I felt my head was spinning with the adrenaline of the day!”
She made us feel comfortable and herded our family and wedding party like the pro she is. Beth was always ready with ideas for more beautiful shots, all while wrangling a bunch of excited and rowdy people! And, of course, to top it all off the pictures are absolutely stunning and our day was captured beautifully.”
– Beth & Michael
“Hiring Jen & Beth was the best decision we made for our wedding day!”
Jen & Beth made us feel extremely comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera. They made a potentially stressful event seamless! They are professional and easy going and listened to ideas we had. I got our wedding photos back a few weeks ago and haven’t been able to decide which picture to post from our special day because there are so many amazing shots! I strongly recommend using Jennifer and Beth, they worked beautifully together and are so much fun to be around! Love you guys and thank you so much for being apart of our special day!
– Leya & Ray
“Jennifer was everything I was looking for – and more! – in a wedding photographer.”
She is extremely organized, knowledgable and just a pleasant person to be around in general! She even helped me find other vendors such as a make up artist- which I was thrilled with! We LOVE all of our beautiful photos by Jennifer!
– Mackenzie & Jordan
“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
“Jennifer Weinman was the BEST decision I made on my wedding day!
Well, second in line to my handsome husband, of course!
From the first time I contacted Jen and had fun just chatting on the phone to now, when we’ve received all of our wedding photos, she has never failed to impress me. She is incredibly professional and responsive, and always had great ideas when we were stuck on wedding planning. We have been thrilled every step of the way!”
– Tara & Bryan
