Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot
You're not planning a wedding that fits a mold — you're crafting something that feels like you. I'm here to photograph it the way it deserves to be remembered: cinematic, honest, and wildly romantic.
I'm Jenna — a wedding photographer for couples who feel everything deeply and want more than just pretty pictures. My work blends editorial composition with emotional storytelling, capturing the spark in stolen glances, the real laughter in between portraits, and the way your love feels in motion.
I photograph luxury weddings, destination elopements, and effortlessly elegant celebrations across Northern California, Utah, and wherever your love leads. Whether you're planning a coastal cliffside ceremony or a chic mountaintop soirée, I'm all in — camera in hand, heart wide open.
What sets my approach apart is intention. I don't just show up and shoot — I guide, connect, and tune into the energy of your day. I'll know when to direct you and when to step back and let the moment breathe. With an eye for artful framing and real emotion, I create imagery that's nostalgic, true-to-color, and full of soul — like stills from a film you never want to end.
You'll walk away with a gallery that feels like your story — not a copy of someone else's. Just the way you held each other, the way your people celebrated you, and every fleeting feeling that made it yours.
Based in Utah + Northern California | Serving the West Coast + destinations worldwide
LGBTQ+ inclusive, body positive, and obsessed with good love stories.
Let's make magic.

Jenna and her second shoot were AMAZING!! We first found her in Utah when we were looking to do engagement photos and were so impressed at how personable she was and then blown away by the photos. We were lucky enough that she was able to travel to Santa Fe, NM to shoot our wedding and again were amazed by how creative and unique her photos were. We definitely recommend her to anyone looking for unique and timeless photos!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Jenna Roden for my daughter's wedding reception and wedding in Miami, FL, and I cannot express enough how delighted I am with her exceptional photography skills. Jenna's dedication and professionalism were evident from the moment she arrived early to capture the bride and the bridal party getting ready.
Jenna's expertise in selecting the perfect backdrops within our venue was truly impressive. She had an eye for finding picturesque locations that added an extra touch of elegance to the photographs. Her attention to detail was evident in every shot, and she effortlessly blended traditional poses with candid moments, capturing the genuine joy and happiness of the occasion.
One of the standout qualities of Jenna's work was her ability to capture the essence of the day. She skillfully documented not only the key moments but also the smaller, meaningful details that might have gone unnoticed. Looking through the photographs, it felt as though we were reliving the celebration, with each image evoking emotions and memories.
Aside from her incredible talent, Jenna's professionalism and friendly demeanor made the entire experience even more enjoyable. She made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera, and her calm and organized approach ensured that everything ran smoothly throughout the day.
I wholeheartedly recommend Jenna Roden Photography to anyone looking for a skilled and passionate photographer. Her ability to capture the beauty, emotion, and essence of a special occasion is truly remarkable.

Jenna shot our wedding in 2021 and did a phenomenal job! She captured so many beautiful moments and was wonderful in helping with all the different family/bridal shots. She helped me think through everything we would want and need and provided that and more! The venue lighting was dim and slightly yellow but she was able to brighten it up while still keeping it true to the space. Jenna is excellent and we are so glad we worked with her for our special day!

Could not have asked for a better experience and video produced by Jenna. She was very responsive and accommodating and was great at capturing our vision with her creative eye. We watch our wedding video regularly, and love that she offered two versions (one short/extended) so we could have different views of the day. She was the best hype woman on our big day, and helped ease the nerves of the day with her fun and bright attitude. Definitely recommend her!

Jenna was the photographer for my friend's wedding that I was a bridesmaid at. She travelled from Utah all the way to Joshua Tree, CA and truly captured the beautiful desert vibes. She made taking photos fun and I am absolutely amazed by the work she provided! So happy to have these photos as memories for years to come. If you're looking for a fun, professional and truly passionate photographer, Jenna is it!
