Your wedding story told through real moments...

documentary PHOTOGRAPHY



A wedding is made up of many stories within a story...emotional highs and happy tears. friends, family and a lot of love. the day as it unfolds. nothing staged or posed.


Whether it's a 12 hour wedding day or a few hours of family time together at home, a documentary PHOTOGRAPHY approach ensures you don't get taken out of what is most important—the present moment.


DO WE VIBE?


IF YOU'RE THE TYPE TO FREAK OUT OVER SOME DIRT ON YOUR DRESS, OR NEED TO BE PHOTOGRAPHED FROM YOUR 'GOOD SIDE' AT ALL TIMES, I'M PROBABLY NOT THE PHOTOGRAPHER FOR YOU. I WON'T SPEND AN HOUR PHOTOGRAPHING FLATLAYS OR POSING ENDLESS GROUPS... MY APPROACH IS UNIQUE TO EACH WEDDING BUT THE FOCUS IS ALWAYS ON THE CANDID MOMENTS. FAMILY GROUP + COUPLES PHOTOS ARE PHOTOGRAPHED, AS I UNDERSTAND THEY'RE IMPORTANT TO MANY PEOPLE, BUT THEY WILL TAKE UP A SLIVER OF THE DAY.

“Jen was absolutely incredible! She was everything we hoped for. Captured every beautiful moment of our special day without ever making us feel posed or tense. She moved about the day with such natural ease, that I never worried for a second that she was missing anything. We are beyond happy with our photos. Can’t wait to work with her again!”
