Guided By Imagination Photography

Jennie in May when we had our engagement photo shoot! My then fiance was NOT into taking photos, and Jennie made him feel so comfortable. We just got to be ourselves on our "photo adventure" along Sail Bay and Pacific beach. We ended the evening by having a cocktail with Jennie at JRDN, and I thought, "Wow, she is SO cool." Then we got out photos (SO quickly by the way), and they were ADORABLE! Next we started getting ready for the wedding. We emphasized to Jennie that we were a little worried about the millions of posed photos that needed to be taken with our families and the bridal party. We were feeling the pressure from others to have crazy elaborate photos, and we thought it might wear us out. Jennie was GREAT in keeping the posed photo segment short, but complete. She went through a list of the photos we needed, and then she got creative when it came to photos of me and my husband. She was SO easily tuned in to what my husband and I wanted. I never even had to think about photography. She NEVER missed a beat, but I swear I never even noticed her there for the really sentimental moments (like during the ceremony). In fact, the times I did notice Jennie, it was because she was literally having as much fun as me! The following day, so many guests told me they kept wondering how someone could be working so hard, and at the same time having SO much fun. She was dancing along with us and having a blast! IT WAS WONDERFUL! And lastly, Jennie is just a really sweet person. I never got nervous before my wedding until 5 minutes before my first look, and let me tell you, it hit me like a ton of bricks. Jennie just looks over, grabs my arms, looks me right in the eyes, tells me to take a deep breath, and then encourages me to visualize how fun my special day it going to be. So....I did just that, and then it was like, "Ok, let's do this!" That moment, on top of Jennie literally having to tie my father's bow-tie and teach my husband and I how to cut our cake (the little things you forget to research), is what makes me think that Jennie is awesome. She goes above and beyond just being a photographer. She becomes a friend. :)

happy we did! She did such an amazing job at shooting EVERYONE and EVERYTHING, but in such a clever way... she really knows her craft. I look at the pictures and feel like I am re-living our perfect day! Jennie - you're amazing!!!

ng and having a good time right along with all of our guests!

any of her own, captured our family and friends as well as all of the major wedding events. I don't even remember her snapping shots during the ceremony. She was so non-intrusive...we felt like she was a one of our wedding guests. Highly, highly recommend.
