Timeless, True-to-Life Wedding Photography for Couples Who Value Artistry, Expertise, and Elegance
What Will Your Love Story Look Like
for Generations to Come?
Effortlessly elegant, deeply emotional, and timelessly beautiful. Let’s create imagery that stands the test of time
Imagine reliving every moment of your wedding day—not just how it looked, but how it felt.
You’ve envisioned this day for so long—the moment when you and your partner, surrounded by your closest family and friends, step into the next chapter of your lives with effortless elegance. Every detail has been carefully considered, from the intimate welcome dinner under twinkling lights to the breathtaking floral installations that frame your vows. You’re not just planning a wedding; you’re curating an experience—one that feels refined, seamless, and truly unforgettable.
You want photography that reflects the depth of this moment. Imagery that captures not just how everything looked, but how it felt. The stolen glances, the joyful tears, the laughter over candlelit toasts—every fleeting second, preserved with intention and artistry. You need a photographer who understands this, someone you can trust implicitly to document your wedding with sophistication, expertise, and an editorial eye.
This is where I come in.
With a refined, true-to-life approach, I capture weddings for couples who value artistry, experience, and timeless elegance. You’ve invested in the best—an exquisite venue, an experienced planner, impeccable design—and your photography should be no exception. Let’s create something extraordinary together, so that years from now, your wedding photos don’t just bring back memories… they transport you right back to the feeling of it all.
"Jen is one of those people you instantly feel comfortable around and just want to throw a dance party with... she's also wildly talented at what she does."
- Michelle & Brendan
Effortless, Candid, and True-to-You—
Without the Awkward Posing
You want your wedding photos to feel natural, refined, and full of emotion—not like a staged production. I completely understand. The last thing you want is to spend your day being pulled away for endless stiff poses when you should be soaking in every moment.
That’s why my approach is effortless and intuitive. I’ll guide you just enough to make sure you look incredible while allowing space for genuine, unfiltered moments to unfold. The laughter with your best friends while getting ready, the way you lock eyes as you walk down the aisle, the spontaneous joy on the dance floor—these are the moments you’ll want to relive, and they happen when you’re fully present. My job is to capture them beautifully, without ever making you feel like you’re "in a photoshoot."

You Don’t Have to Be a Model to
Have Magazine-Worthy Photos
I hear this all the time—"We’re not used to being in front of a camera," "We’re not photogenic," or "We don’t know what to do with our hands!" The truth? You don’t need to know how to pose or what to do. With a relaxed, guided approach, I’ll make sure you feel completely comfortable, confident, and at ease. No forced smiles, no stiff poses—just effortless, natural moments that showcase your connection in the most beautiful way. Every couple you see in my portfolio? They started out just like you. And by the time we’re done, you’ll not only look incredible—you’ll feel it, too.

"We knew we were in the BEST hands because our wedding planner (who is a personal friend with more than 10 years of experience doing weddings) told us that Jen will 100% be her own wedding photographer when she gets married."
- Elizabeth & David
