Creatrix Photography

to create art out of something as simple as sitting at a bar and taking a sip of your favorite drink. 2.) She really gets to know you, and it reflects in what she produces. You can tell she wants to create something completely unique to your day and not just 'get the job done' which can be hard when you're in such a specialized industry. We really loved that about you! 3.) Sometimes wedding photographers expect you to wait for weeks (even months) to get your photos. Not from Jenna! She turned around our photos crazy fast - in less than a week. For a day that can feel like such a blur, you want to see the results ASAP. And she knows that and delivers. I can't rave enough about her. By booking a gig with Creatrix Photography, your day will seem even more beautiful than you remembered. And you'll be able to look back and know that's true (and brag about it for the rest of your life).

eased with the contracting, billing, and scheduling. The photos of our engagement and wedding were perfect. She took the time to get us in memorable poses, but also captured candid moments that often can be missed. The sharing of the photos was quick and simple. We are already considering booking a family session!

our first time being professionally photographed). She has an incredibly creative eye while also being open to suggestions during the shoot, and our friends and family have commented on how great the photos turned out. We are so excited to have her as our wedding photographer later this year and look forward to working with her again!

ersonality, which Jenna does perfectly!

and working with her is a dream. I love working with Jenna and am happy to suggest her to all of my couples for a photographer for their wedding or special event!

friends commented on how fast we had them to share. They are all so beautiful and she knew just how to get awesome pics of even the smallest members of our family. She is very knowledgeable and professional. Pick her for wedding!! You will never regret it!

kee, WI, and were married in Austin, so we really hadn't met Jenna in person until the day before the wedding. We had lunch and got to know each other a little, and I think that made all the difference. She heard us, and what we wanted, and gave us that AND MORE! I really can't rave enough about how amazingly happy we are with our photos!

tion to every little detail. She took pictures of everything and a lot of the pictures helped me see how some places were set up because I never got to see them the day of. Lol. I just can't say enough good things about her. If you need a wedding photographer, please use her!! You won't regret it. 😊

g in love) with some of the work I found of hers online. Her response time was stellar. I almost never waited more than a few hours for a response back and when I did, an automated email, explaining why she may be away was always sent to let me know what was up. We see up a payment plan for the next few months which, was a blessing and not many photographers are willing to do this. Easy payment portal, accepting cards, cash, check, paypal... you name it. She has a very detailed contract that lays out the exact expectations of both ends and makes it clear what you will be expecting and receiving after the fact. Along the whole process she will also send you cute questionnaires to fill out to get more of a feel of how you want your day to go. Along with this, she also just emails you out of the blue to check in on the process and how you are doing. It was super comforting and sweet to me as a stressing bride. Closing in on the big day, you will have a face to face to go over the time line of the wedding day or whatever day. Which, considering I opted out of a planner, helped alot. So day of she was a saint. Kept more than cool, got us some breath taking shots and made the whole day super easy. I was more than comfortable just letting her command the room and she had no issues being hella proffessional, fun and getting the job done..and I have a circus for a family. She wrangled the whole 25 person immediate family picture part flawlessly and even got a couple shots of my nephew in his suit (that he hated) that are just adorable. Lord knows how... she kept me super calm and happy the whole time. Mindless chatter, distractions, even helped me with my makeup when we realized what time it was. The whole day was captured beautifully. From the getting ready, first look, the ceremony and the night time reception were all just....amazing. she even did a super sketchy shot with her camera hovering centimeters above the water to get the perfect shot. We also did a shoot at the sandbar on island. Which turned out beautifully as well. Long story short, if you're looking for a professional, fun, spirited, beautifully talented, dedicated photographer...you've found her. Just say yes to the photographer!!!!

orthy" I knew we had found our photographer! Over the course of the last 10 months, my husband and I have gotten to become friends with Jenna which I feel greatly helped our comfort level with both the engagement & wedding photos. It honestly felt like just hanging out and you can tell in our photos that we look relaxed. Day of the wedding and Jenna was amazing at helping to soothe my last minute nerves/dealing with family! Everyone remarked at how great our photographer was with group shots/action shots/etc... We recently got our photos back before even getting home from our honeymoon and let me tell you they are GOR.GEOUS! I have no clue how we are going to select just a few to hang up! Jenna is a wonderful & caring person. This not only comes thru in her work but in her every day life. Send her a message, grab some coffee and be prepared to hire your photographer!

n to be around! Her 2nd shooter, Sloan, was also wonderful! They both fit our vibe and added to our day!! Thank you Jenna for capturing such beautiful memories for us!!!

tures are what EVERYONE has talked and asked me about. We did three sessions (engagement, bridal, wedding), and each time I got photos back I was speechless. Jenna takes time to get to know you as a person, which means each time you meet up it’s like taking photos with a friend! Jenna’s passion for life and photography result in beautiful photos every single time. Do yourself a favor and book Creatrix photography now before someone else does!

they all seemed talented. Within minutes of meeting Jenna I knew she was “the one” to capture our moments. I was looking for someone who had done Indian weddings before but wasn’t a typical Indian photographer. She is energetic, passionate, and fun. When you’re already stressed out, it’s important to have someone like that both on your wedding day and leading up to it. Both my husband and I are creative professionals and I usually have a strict vision for visuals. I had no problem giving Jenna full creative control for our photography because I trust her and LOVE her style. Even since hiring her last summer she has grown so much as a photographer and we really saw all the benefits of her constant drive to learn and improve in her beautiful work. We took engagement pictures with Jenna before our wedding and I told her we wanted to take pictures with our dog and us eating queso at our favorite restaurant. Some photographers might think we’re weird, but Jenna knew we were weird and was all for it! We ended up using our engagement pictures in our guest book and I love them. She asked how we wanted to feel when we saw the pictures and I said I wanted to feel the joy in that day. She made it happen and captured more emotion than I could have imagined. Thank you Jenna (and Austin!) for making taking pictures on our wedding day a fun experience and not just something we had to finish to get back to our guests. We love them so much and so do our friends and family.

n the traditional poses you see in everyone's photos. We are different and we wanted someone who understood that and appreciated it and had passion for their work. You were the the most perfect human being we could have had accompany us through our big day! Truly, you did so much more than just take photos, you checked in on our planning, made suggestions in areas we were struggling and just your vibe in general is so badass! Future brides and grooms, please stop looking and go for Jenna if you want someone who is an amazing person and has the ability to just capture everything beautiful about you and your partner!

and realized that Jenna is stellar at capturing the mood of the event and people’s feelings.  It’s been 10 months since our wedding, but when I look at the photos, the happy, fun feeling of our wedding comes back instantly. Jenna got all the standard shots that everyone wants for their wedding, but really outdid herself with the candid photos. Jenna’s photos really bring our wedding to life. She doesn’t stick to basic photos; she experiments and some of those experiments are my favorite photos. The photos during the reception really wowed me. She conveys so much movement and excitement in those photos.  Jenna showed up like an hour early, wasn’t intrusive when everyone was busy, made us feel comfortable during our first-look session, helped suggest poses to do, made us laugh so it wasn’t so awkward, did a good job with herding our families to take group photos, took time to take funny candids between ‘official’ photos, pulled us away for photo ops when something special caught her eye and captured a ton of exceptional photos. We highly recommend Jenna.

wedding. I have a bad memory at times so beautifully done photos were a MUST! At dinner one night a friend of mine told me he would ask a friend in Austin to see if she knew of anyone. Sure enough the next day I got an email with the contact of lady who would make all my wedding photo dreams come true, Jenna! From our first phone call together, I knew she was the one. She answered all my questions and left no doubts in my head about what our day would be like. I stalked all her photos online and got my now husband on board. Jenna is super professional and leading up to the wedding kept us informed on things we needed to be prepared for our wedding day. She has an amazing online portal with great questionnaires so she can get to know you and also for you to add all the details of your wedding which saves a lot of hassle of going back and forth on email. On the day, Jenna was lovely as I expected and was such a trooper at our freezing outdoor wedding. She captured all of our special moments perfectly! I can’t stop looking at them to re-live the day over and over! She was also amazing at wrangling our crazy families and putting up with some at-times intense personalities for family portraits. Chris and I are beyond happy with the shots Jenna got of our day. My sister told me the other day that the photos are magical!! Jenna, thank you for being awesome and for the amazing gift you gave us!

ave to bring back to family back home as we are from out of state, but she did a great job of capturing the special moments as well as some family-expected posed pictures. Jenna has a great personality and you can tell she enjoys what she does and takes pride in her work. She was super efficient so there was nothing painful about our post-ceremony picture session, it was actually very enjoyable! And I hate having my picture taken. My husband and I are pretty awkward in front of the camera and Jenna did a stellar job of getting some truly beautiful posed pictures. She also got a couple of shots that highlighted how goofy we are and made our awkwardness look endearing. I'm truly thankful for being able to work with Jenna Avery!

aspect to her pictures. She has an amazing way of finding the perfect spot to configure her shot. I have not been unhappy about any picture that she has given me. We had an unfortunate incident right after our ceremony with one of the grandparents (she's ok!) that caused us to be behind schedule for pictures (AKA we were losing sunlight), but Jenna did her thing and was able to find every pocket of light around our venue (and a construction site) and seriously you would not even know. I cannot say enough good things about Jenna.

pink-haired tornado of a woman, she said “I only work with weirdos”. It was love at first sass. Over the last year, we’ve exchanged emails about our cats, had drinks with her puppy at a bar, won a lava lamp at her Christmas party, played Ski-ball together, had dinner with her and her boyfriend, and froze our asses off at a Renaissance Faire. What I’m trying to say is that while hiring a wedding photographer is a once-in-a-lifetime thing, hiring Jenna is really more like gaining a once-in-a-lifetime friend. Her creativity is unmatched. Her ability to handle a giant group of our drama-loving dysfunctional families was beyond impressive. Her support and instruction on our wedding day was so reassuring. Jenna took pictures of two awkward nerds that made us look like fucking models. I can’t wait to show my grandkids my wedding pictures and be like “look at what a fucking babe I was.” Jenna’s a badass warrior woman with a shining soul. She’s a firework. A unicorn. If you don’t hire her, you’ll probably regret it.

ns so we don’t know the exact elements that stood out, only that we would love to have photos like that to remember our wedding with. We opt’d for the engagement session & full day for the wedding. We trusted Jenna completely and let her work her magic—which let us focus on the many things that a wedding has going on. Photography is the one thing you absolutely cannot go cheap on for your big day—but still Jenna’s rates were amazingly reasonable for the quality of work & care she took of us. Jenna was super available and prepared to help guide us through all of the check list items we would need. When the big day came she was more like a friend than just a vendor. She laughed, cried, and celebrated with us. And isn’t that what you’d want? Someone who is truly invested in and happy for your union. If you’re looking for boring then you’ve got the wrong girl. She’s lively, energetic, & hard working! We spent so much time and effort creating the big day and she spent just as much capturing it. We’re forever grateful! I highly recommend full day and a second shooter as it gave us so many more photos than we could have ever dreamed of. These photos are so very precious to us and so is the gal who took ‘em.

got the feeling it's just another job. Our guests told us that they knew Jenna was around but never obstructed their view or created distraction. In fact our guest never knew where she was but she was everywhere clearly from the photos taken. Her energy enthusiasm made us feel at ease. The day of our wedding Jenna was there early and communicated well as she had throughout from the first contact to now. We had a few shots we really wanted but other than that our badass photographer Jenna captured us and our family in moments that would have probably been missed by others. She has an ability to find what is wanted in a shot. Super energetic, polite, funny, honest and professional you won't go wrong choosing Jenna. If we could rate higher than a 5 star we would

time constraints, and various personalities, she had to put up with quite a bit. But nevertheless our photos were stunning and actually ended up getting featured on some of the wedding blogs, including my favorite blog AislePerfect!

is amazing to work with while shooting; she will put you at ease and make you laugh. She is also very professional - always on time, fast to answer email/calls, and she keeps up with new techniques to make sure her clients get the best photos possible. When the day is done you'll have your wedding photos to look back on - you won't regret hiring Jenna to capture it.

time. She always responded quickly to any questions I had before the wedding. On the day of our wedding she was great with our guests and us. She kept us on track for the day and at the end made sure we had gotten all the pictures we wanted taken. She really goes above and beyond making sure we look good, hair was in place, and make-up was good to go.

actual wedding, she was early, engaged, and worked so smoothly with everyone! Her work was AMAZING!! You can tell this is not just her profession but her art, and it showed in all the amazing shots she took and created. I'm not exaggerating in the slightest, she's such a talent, and she created images for us that we are going to cherish and come back to. To top it off, her turn around time was super quick, and access to our images was easy.

t photographers I've ever worked with that actually takes pride in the physical art of photography rather than the art of knowing how to Photoshop to create beautiful images from mediocre ones. She has this glorious personality that will light up any room and you will never have any "forced smile photos" because she will be the life of the shoot and make you have a great time and laugh and love as you should be on these days... Instead of nervous and in generic poses. I highly recommend Jenna to anyone I know. I always show off her amazing work to people almost everywhere I go. As a member of the LGBT Community I love how engaged she is within this community and would do almost anything to accommodate her clients!

She also captures the emotion of the moment. She helps you be yourself, but like...the most ridiculously good looking version of yourself. :P On the business side, her communication is great--she replies to email/texts/etc in a timely manner--and she makes a sincere effort to get to know you. She totally put us at ease which helped us to feel comfortable and be more natural for the photos. She gets the photos back to you FAST--like within a week in our case. O_o She has a good electronic invoicing and contract system in place too, which helps keep track of everything and lets you easily check where you’re at with everything. She gets in touch and stays in touch from the moment you send your initial inquiry, through the contract signing, all the way up until you get your photos back--actually, you’ll probably be her friend by the time it’s all over, so she’ll be in touch even after. Beyond her gorgeous work and her professional acumen, Jenna also goes above and beyond. She has a TON of wedding experience and gives great advice on points you may not even have thought of. She makes sure you get all the standard family shots and then gets all those little wedding details that you don’t even think to photograph--the favors and centerpieces that you agonized over, the jewelry and accessories that you picked out special for the day, the bouquet, your wedding toppers, etc. Jenna will wake up at ungodly early hours to get you those sunrise shots you have to have. She’ll even help blot the sweat from your face so you don’t smudge your makeup if need be. :) She’s fantastic to work with. Jenna may be a little expensive, but she’s absolutely worth it. We originally weren’t sure we wanted to spend that much, but breaking down our package: rights to the photos, “all day shooting”, an included engagement session, and a complimentary giant wall print….. It was actually a great deal. We didn’t have to worry about rushing through our photo shoot at all; we got a little of everything from the getting ready, to the ceremony, the first dance, the cake cutting, etc. The rights too were huge since we can do whatever with them and don’t get nickeled and dimed on prints after the fact. All in all, we would unreservedly recommend her--after the wedding is all said and done, your photos are largely going to color how you remember the wedding--it’s one of the best investments you can make in your wedding budget.

know now, we'd pay to fly Jenna anywhere in the world to take our wedding photos—she's just that good. Jenna is a consummate professional, who was dedicated to our satisfaction in every way. She met with us multiple times to go over what we wanted in the photographs from our wedding and our engagement shoot, as well as to present our wedding photos and our poster-sized canvas photo (an amazing perk that came in our wedding package—something that reminds us of our wedding everyday!). She was very upfront about what she would and would not do—and that frankness was much appreciated. She was very on top of things and had helpful automated reminders directing us to our wedding questionnaire as well as when our payments were due. She even learned the names of people in our bridal party and family, which made the posed family photos run a lot more smoothly! Where Jenna really shines, and why we hired her—is her candid shots. She was truly able to capture the moods, emotions and ambiance of the day—the photos are a genuine representation of the best day of our lives. We couldn't ask for better momentos, or ways to remember the day. Whenever we had questions or wanted to let her know something about our wedding (decorations, photo lists, etc.) she was quick to respond. She worked so tirelessly that we received our photos from the wedding well within a month. In fact, she sent a few photos within days, allowing us to get a glimpse of what was coming, as well as giving us the chance to use a photo for our thank you cards. Jenna may seem demanding as a photographer to some folks, including your guests, but she is really just trying to ensure the set photos you want get done and the wedding is able to move on. We really appreciated that, and she never ceased being courteous and a professional. At our wedding we did have a bonus second shooter that Jenna brought with her, though through no fault of Jenna's, the photos taken by the second shooter were lost due to an electronic glitch. That is really the only negative we can say about our experience, and since we weren't even expecting a second shooter (nor did we pay for one), its nothing that would keep us from recommending Jenna. As a final note, if you choose to do business with Jenna, be honest with her, embrace your adventurous side, and trust she will see it through with you every step of the way. The photos she took for and of us were amazing. We highly recommend you visit her website—creatrixphotography.com— to view what she has on display, because, as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. :)

g looks good" Pinterest board, which was exactly what I was looking for in a photographer. I met with her two years before my wedding actually happened. We had to postpone our date multiple times due to family situations and every time I told her "Hey...so... Our date changed..." She was always cool and said something to the effect of "no problemo" even though she's one of the busiest people I've ever met. If you become a Creatrix bride, expect to be invited to board game nights, get your nails done together and basically gain a great new gal-pal in the months leading up to your wedding. I'm so glad we decided to have a small DIY wedding and splurge on the photography because in the end, she made our wedding look like we paid big bucks to cerastes a dreamy Pinterest wedding, which I feel every bride will appreciate.

ng in the same stance, unsure what to do with your awkward face that doesn't feel attached to you anymore. With Jenna, she comes alive when she puts you in front of the camera, you can't help but laugh and smile and joke around. She directs you, on how to hide that double chin, or those love handles, to give you the most flattering pictures for your specific body type. She does this, and she loves to experiment with lighting, poses, putting you in candid pictures without you even noticing! My hesitant fiancé was even impressed that we had "fun" doing something he was seriously dreading. She's the only person I trust to fully capture our essence, and she's worth every penny 😉

waded through water, had great suggestions and we couldn't have been happier.

il, I knew she was the one. She was amazing!! She even helped me find a hair and makeup artist on the island. Jenna showed up on time, and went straight to work, taking the most beautiful pictures!! She made my husband, who is usually shy in front on the camera, very comfortable! Jenna is SO very talented. You will have beautiful photos and a new friend. Go with Creatrix Photography..you wont regret it.

having issues hearing back from other prospects) and was very helpful with everything. Jenna was so great at wrangling everyone together and went above and beyond for the perfect shot! We were in love with her BEFORE we got our pictures back. Once we got the pictures back from her we were absolutely blown away! The way Jenna captured all our special (and fun) moments was amazing!! We are beyond 100% pleased with the entire experience. By the end of the night Jenna felt like more of a friend than just our photographer. I HIGHLY recommend Jenna for all your photography needs, she is so talented and so passionate for what she does, and it shows through her work. We loved her!

t on my original search list so I am so happy I asked!!!! Her prices were comparable to others in Maui or even cheaper. She is so professional, quick to respond to questions, lighthearted and so easy to work with. She was patient and goofy with my kids, to get that perfect shot. I am beyond happy with the final images. She captured the evening perfectly. Worth every single penny I paid!

t and unique situations. Jenna gave me exactly what I asked for and made us feel very comfortable throughout the process. She is very easy to work with and I would definitely recommend her services to the LGBT community.

boyfriend and I could not wait to book with Jenna! Her work is so colorful, sharp, and she possess this artistic eye that not many do! My boyfriend ended up proposing during out photoshoot and I couldn't have picked a better person to capture that moment with. Jenna is so fun to work with and she is super helpful with making you feel comfortable in front of the camera! If you're looking around for photographers, stop now. You found the perfect one!!!

because we were basically eloping on the beach and not having a reception. It was care-free, fun, and I LOVE OUR PICTURES!

stepped up and gave us references for everything! She hooked us up with an AMAZING florist, the nicest minister, and even a serene beach location for the event! With unpredictable traffic issues, Jenna worked directly with our minister to change our venue in the 11th hour, saving me the stress! Along the way, she also sent us reviews, questionnaires, and emails to make sure that our creative directions were on the same page. Then, on our wedding day, she was STELLAR! She showed up with an assistant who allowed her to give us more attention and take more photos of us. She made me feel so at ease (truly truly stress free)! She offered several different natural backdrops for a unique variety of photos in 1 location. We received a sneak peek the day of our wedding, and she leaked several photos a week (including publishing an amazing blog post about us) and over delivered on our photos--we got them 2 weeks after our wedding and every photo was just beautiful! Her photo site made ordering professional prints and downloading our high resolution photos extremely easy, and she personally checked in with us after delivery to make sure we were pleased. I can't say more--her communication, professionalism, and passion for the art were clear through execution and delivery. Best decision (other than picking my husband) ever!

(we are from NC) and being unfamiliar with Hawaii she offered great suggestions on the best time of the morning to have good lighting for our ceremony and pictures. I couldn't believe some of the pictures she got during our ceremony... I truly never saw her one time the entire ceremony but the pictures looked like she could have been right next to us. Impressive! The post ceremony photo shoot went extremely well. Jenna has an excellent eye for what will make a beautiful picture and can really capture the moment all while making you feel very comfortable and natural. Her work truly is art. Highly recommended!

, silly personality make her a total joy. I definitely recommend Jenna to be your wedding photographer.

ios we stumbled across Jenna’s. Her photographs really caught our eye. She captures everything in one photo… the couple, the land and the moment in time. She went above and beyond to get all the photos that we wanted and from every possible angle. I give her the highest recommendation.

ve our photos. I like how she is using the light, I love how with her photos she is telling a story. And besides she is a great girl who shows that she cares and who is moving around like the Spider-Man to make the photos she has in mind :-)

oto every time. That in itself is a rare feit. She also did not take one picture I really did not like. I will recommend Jenna to any and all people who could use her services!!
