Jeannine Marie Photography

eetest people I've had the pleasure to work with, and I can't recommend her enough. :)

to know us, our families, and what we were looking for, and then come wedding day she was immensely helpful in all aspects, never saying "that's not my job" and was ALWAYS upbeat and positive. I would recommend Jeannine in a heartbeat to anyone looking for the best wedding photographer.

rized them all on that day. She sat on the ground for the majority of the reception to ensure that I would have great photos during my speeches. She was quick and observant - catching small moments going on in the background that totally went over our heads. Her and her partner arrived early and were ready to work and left at 10 pm, still with lots of energy. I know she probably didn't get 8 hours of sleep that night because the very next day at 9 AM she posted 40 preview pictures of our wedding, edited and all. When we were looking at photographers in the early stages of our wedding planning we were so overwhelmed and confused - everyone started to look the same. We met with several photographers but just didn't feel that click. Within 10 minutes of our meeting with Jeannine I knew. When we ended our video call with her my husband and I knew we had found a photographer for our special day. She's kind, experienced, organized, professional, and the quality of her photos are an exact reflection of her dedication to her craft. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, Jeannine for everything!

tient. We are awestruck by how beautifully Jeannine captured our special day. A million thanks to you Jeannine! You were so much fun to work with! ♡Brittany, Matt and Chandler

ctures look real, and not all edited weird! Choose Jeannine as your photographer and you will never regret it!

essed! This made us so comfortable for our wedding day. She was on time and keep the photos going on time even with my makeup slightly delayed. All our family and guests loved her and we are getting nothing but rave reviews on the photos! We are having a tough time picking, because they are all so beautiful. Thank you Jeannine!

aware of her surroundings ready to get the perfect shot! She listens to your needs and wants and delivers! On top of that she is good at directing the whole wedding party and family the day of, she handles the chaos like a champ! She is also very friendly and easy going and is great with communicating throughout the whole wedding plan process. She is a little more than I wanted to spend but I absolutely do not regret paying more. Our pictures (engagement and wedding) are beautiful! You one hundred percent get your money's worth! I will always use her for any photography needs in the future :)

Taking a look at her photos brings us back to each part of our special day. She really did capture the magic of that day in all aspects. The photos are just stunning. She was excellent with the young children in the wedding and everyone else involved as well. She really gave it her all the entire day. We are so glad we went with Jeannine and would recommend her to anyone. You won’t regret it!

eanor, Jeannine also gave us really valuable advice and functioned as a second wedding planner.

She still got amazing shots and we don't look like we were freezing. Jeannine also gave me her jacket in-between pictures and while walking.. so sweet! Our guests are raving about our photos and loved that they got to see some during our reception. I am SO thankful that we chose Jeannine as our wedding photographer!! Your wedding day only happens once in a lifetime and Jeannine captured every moment of our day beautifully!

extra mile for us. She killed it with our engagement photos many months before the wedding giving us the perfect images to announce our day (and decorate our house). On the day of the wedding she was an absolute pro! She was battling a cold the day of our wedding, but that did not slow her down one bit. She was there from the begging to the end capturing every moment and every detail. She even adjusted on the fly as we said hey, we want this photo or that photo. After the wedding Jeannine continued to amaze us. We assumed she would need some time to rest from the wedding of the year and the cold that she was battling, but she exceeded our expectations by getting us a preview in 24 hours. We were blown away by her ability to capture so many precious (and hilarious) moments from our day. She is at the top of her game and if you do not hire her as your photographer you are doing this wedding thing all wrong.

s amazing photographer! That is the cherry on top of everything she provide. ❤️100% recommend!

o many different photos into our session. She whirled us around Minnehaha falls for our engagement session and made it a truly fun experience. For our wedding she kept taking photos well after our agreed time because she kept loving all the different shots she was getting. "Just one more" she said! We ended up with almost 1000 photos from our wedding and just couldn't be happier. We hope to have her do shoots for us again in the future. Thank you so much Jeannine!

a lot more than just point-and-shoot. You want them to make your lives easier amidst the chaos, you want help setting a clear timeline so things run smoothly, and to know they are focused on your priorities. This is why we cannot recommend Jeannine Marie highly enough. We had our wedding at a camp in Bemidji, Minnesota, but live in Washington, D.C., making planning a bit more difficult. From the outset, Jeannine set our minds at ease by going over every detail - including many we did not think to ask about - and clearly articulating costs, options, and what would be the best fit for us. She never tried to "upsell" us on a different product, or something more expensive. If we wanted more, she had an option for that. If we wanted less, she had an option for that, too. She simply wanted to make sure we would get photos to last a lifetime - and boy did she deliver. On the wedding day, despite some logistical challenges presented by a hairdresser who got lost on the way, Jeannine made the photo-taking part of the wedding easy. She had a clear tick tock, communicated with other vendors to coordinate shots, kept us on time, and took amazing, gorgeous photos we'll enjoy for the rest of our lives. As the night wound down, she made sure to check in with us so that we got all the group photos we wanted to get. It was a thoughtful gesture that, frankly, I had not thought about at that point as I was having too much fun. It was also emblematic of how meticulously she approached the job, and how thoughtful she was from start to finish. Again, if you're looking for a wedding photographer, just end your search and go with Jeannine Marie. She's just the best.

first look with my Mom since I was wearing her vintage dress! The day of she was a joy and she stuck around the whole night to capture every minute of our party! She fit in with the family great and didn't bat an eye when (i assume) all the groomsmen tried to get her number :) From the previews, I know she picked the most wonderful lighting and highlighted my classy green and gold color scheme perfectly! I can't wait to see the rest of the album!!!

ily and friends loved her. We would recommend her to everyone!!

of character but she had a way of taking every moment and helping us all find the fun and joy... and it shows in our pictures. Best Choice, Best Outcome, Best Day Ever!!

o commorate the day, make sure you pick a great photographer. I highly recommend Jeannine!

f wedding pictures. She was wonderful with some of the kids who refused to smile for the camera, she was able to get some great candid shots. She was open to any suggested shots that I asked for and she also had so many great ideas and little tips, poses, posture pointers, etc. She was so easy and fun to work with. I would definitely recommend Jeannine!

nt at providing good directions on subtle tweaks to body positioning, etc. She was great with families and friends and captured a wonderful number of more formal portraits, relaxed group shots, and heart-warming candids. I cannot recommend Jeannine highly enough.

r vision. On our wedding day it was going to rain when we planned to start photos but Jeannine suggested we move the first look earlier so that we didn't miss out on getting photos outside. Even though I was upset that it was raining outside (I was planning to have an outdoor ceremony) she was very supportive and told me that it was better for a little overcast because pictures tend to turn out better. She was right because the photos turned out fabulous. I absolutely love the wedding photos and can't stop looking at them. She also did this cool thing where she brought her laptop into the venue and displayed some of the photos she took during the day so that guest could see them which all my guests loved. Her photos are clean and crisp and you can tell that she loves what she's doing and good at it! She pays attention to details and does wonderfully capturing the day. The only disappointment I had was during our planning meeting a couple weeks before the wedding, I told her I wanted to do a first look with my dad. We made sure to included it in the wedding timeline and it was important for me to have it. Somehow my dad walked into the venue when my husband and I were taking pictures and my dad saw me in my dress and was unable to get that first look experience. She was able to get a quick snapshot of the moment that was cute but I wish I had that special one-on-one moment on camera with my dad. It wasn't Jeannine's fault that happened but my wedding planner and photographer should of been coordinating that properly. I would recommend that if there are "must" photos that you want on your wedding to make sure to clarify that with your photographer. Overall, it was a great day and we're so happy we had Jeannine capture our day!

the big day. She worked so hard to make us feel comfortable and ensure we looked relaxed and happy in our photos. Also, she did an excellent job wrangling our big families and big wedding party. And as a bonus, she was amazing at getting our four-year-old nephew to smile for photos and get to the ceremony, skillfully navigating an almost-meltdown. Jeannine gave us a teaser of photos the day after our wedding and they were absolutely gorgeous. We loved looking at them on our honeymoon.

. She took the time to arrange the wedding party to get some cool group shots - that weren't just "guys on this side, ladies on this". Also got a lot of comments from our wedding guests about her interaction with them, they loved her. I can't recommend her enough, do yourself a favor and hire her!

os she took and I have not even seen all of them yet. Of all the professionals we hired for our wedding Jeannine was by far the best.

mplements from everyone who has seen our photos. We're so happy to have so many great memories captured so well from our big day, I know we will cherish them for years to come!

while planning from a distance), and was reliable. She truly captured the love and happiness at our wedding while being non-intrusive. She was so friendly and easy going while also keeping us on track with timing. We couldn’t be happier with the way our big day turned out and Jeannine was a big reason why.

combination for a wedding photographer. We had met her and saw her in action at a few of our friend’s wedding’s, and knew before we were even engaged that she HAD to be our wedding photographer. We kept our priorities in order and made sure to book with her, even before we booked our venue! It was obvious from the first time we met with her, that she was an absolute pro. Her years of experience showed immediately, when she went above and beyond her duties as a photographer. She recommended a few ceremony locations (we were still undecided at that point), and helped us pin down a realistic pre-ceremony timeline that ensured we got every photo we wanted, without ever feeling rushed or stressed during our big day. She also suggested adding a “photo race” to our reception, which neither of us had ever heard of before. It was a huge hit, and it allowed us to get a photo with every single person at the reception, which became a nice personal touch to our thank you notes. Beyond that, she worked with us to make sure we were able to find a photography package that fit within our budget. On our wedding day, things couldn’t have gone any better, thanks in part to her excellent planning, and perfect execution of everything we had discussed. We had a large wedding party, 5 different pre-ceremony photo locations, family photos and a full group shot of everyone at the ceremony on the docket for the day, and Jeannine handled it all in stride. All while cracking jokes, keeping things on schedule and making sure everyone she was around was smiling and having a great time. Working with her couldn’t have been easier. She handled everything from start to finish, and was incredibly responsive with answers to any questions that came up throughout the planning process. After the reception, she followed through right away with sending us a sneak peek of our photos, and we couldn’t believe how quickly we received the rest of the photos. Not to mention, she put together an impromptu slideshow at our reception, of photos she took earlier that day! THE PHOTOS! After we looked through all 1,100 photos she sent us, we couldn’t believe how perfectly she captured the entire day. Picking which photos to print became a challenge, because of how many great options she gave us. She did a phenomenal job of telling the story of our wedding day through a mix of candid and posed moments, catching small details of the décor and food we chose, and most importantly, she made sure we were looking our best in the photos we’ll have on display for the rest of our lives. We received a lot of compliments from friends and family on reception decor, and the doughnuts we served for dessert, but by far, our guests were most impressed with Jeannine. Throughout our entire wedding day, and to this day, people have continually told us how much fun she was to be around, how her passion for photography really shows, and that our photos are “unreal,” “gorgeous,” the “best wedding photos they’ve ever seen.” We couldn’t agree more. If it’s not obvious by now, we highly recommend working with her, and will continue to use her for any photography needs. Thanks for everything Jeannine, you’re truly a rock star! Theresa & Adam

I needed some lifestyle photos (photos for website) for my daycare/preschool center, Tierra Encantada, using her was a no brainer. BEST. DECISION. EVER. I had used two other photographers for lifestyle photos at the daycare previously and they turned out okay, but nothing spectacular (only a few usable ones). Jeannine took the time to chat on the phone before, review all the shots I wanted to get, and she got them ALL - and more. Plus she was reasonably priced - and had the fastest turn around I've ever experienced. If you want someone that makes sure she gets every image you want - and makes sure they are all perfect, then definitely use her! Strongly recommend!

at person! She takes her time to get to know you as a couple and truly makes you feel important! Jeannine spent so many hours working with us, both before, during, and after our wedding and we are so thankful we chose her! Jeannine is the type of person you can trust, have fun with, and count on!

mazing! I'd hire her again in a heartbeat!

photographs I can look back and enjoy the day all over again. Her Photography is noting less then breathtaking!

But even more importantly is Jeannine's fun and relaxed attitude. She really makes you feel comfortable and reduces some of the stress involved with the big day. She really listens to what you want, she gets to know your family and listens to what they want, and she will even get you a beer when you are too busy talking with guests to get to the bar. Thank you to Jeannine, I would never dream of using another photographer!

and I could tell she was super organized and knew what she was doing. Also, having not been married before I just had a ton of questions - not all photography related -that she was all over helping me with. See has seen a lot of weddings and had just a ton of great advice on everything. The day of my wedding - she was the one there by my side making sure I was happy and things were running smoothly. She communicated well with all of my vendors and seriously had a huge influence on making things run so smoothly. She even asked if she could get me anything to drink during dinner and was just all over everything well beyond her job description. One of my favorite suprizes was that during the reception she set up on the card table her computer with a slide show of the pictures she had taken of the day. It was just incredible! To get to see that quickly all of the magic she had captured - just was so cool!!! She even came prepared with sparklers just in case we wanted some extra cool shots. She is the best. Seriously. You can't find better. Not only is she just so great at what she does, but she is so fun to work with! Jeannine is worth every penny and I could not be happier!!!!

ound. Her goal was not to make money, or get us out the door quickly - her goal was to help design and create an experience that we would cherish, and she would feel proud of. She has a few basic pricing packages to start with, but is absolutely willing to customize the plans in any way, and in any case is very reasonably priced given the caliber of her work. On our wedding day, she was a constantly fun and exciting presence, and somehow took so many great pictures, fulfilling every request we made, without ever being intrusive. My wife and I would never have imagined how beautiful the pictures came out! And their formatting made it incredibly easy to share with friends and family. A wedding photographer is someone you may only get to choose once, and if you're like me, it's hard to know where to start looking. If you're getting married or engaged, and you're anywhere near the Twin Cities, Jeannine Marie is the person to call - she was easily one of our best decisions! She will take care of you and help create memories that will last a lifetime.

e we look at them! On top of that, she is one of the most pleasant individuals we have ever worked with. She's easygoing, creative, and extremely professional. We would highly recommend Jeannine Marie photography.

eautifully. She is the best to work with. She is so personable and she'll make you feel at ease in front of the camera. We also appreciated how organized she is. She was able to make sure we got all the photos we wanted and get through the quickly. We absolutely loved working with Jeannine for our engagement and wedding photos!

ptured some great moments! I am so glad to have theses! Jeannine has a lot of fun with you and is very personable! She was so prompt getting our pictures to us we didn't have time to look at them until a week later with everything else going on! My husband and I were very happy with her. Some of our family has ordered pictures from Jeannine already and are raving about how they look!!

that we will cherish for a lifetime. She has an amazing eye for great shots, and she’s not afraid to do whatever it takes to get them! At one point we may have been climbing over a fence, running up a mountain to get the perfect photo as the sun set, and later in the evening Jeannine was lying on the ground to catch a special angle for a beautiful picture. She doesn’t mess around! Jeannine makes her customers feel gorgeous while taking pictures, which helps ease the nerves on your big day. She’s also extremely personable and has a great sense of humor! All of these things make a world of difference when you’ve got a stressful day ahead. One of the best parts about Jeannine on our wedding day is that she was able to corral our crazy family and friends. Let’s just say we had a wedding party of 13 that love to be loud and obnoxious- gotta love ‘em! Jeannine took charge and got every person in his or her place, while staying courteous and fun! She made sure we got photos with everyone! I would not have changed a single thing about our photography. This was our most important vendor and we are so happy with our decision to go with Jeannine!

able and even fun. She also did such a great job working with the kiddos, even when they were getting tired and cranky. And the photos!! They were everything we dreamed of and more. The emotions and moments that she captured on film are so amazing. We could not have asked for a better experience. Book Jeannine for your wedding, you will not regret it. She is worth every penny!!

you feel like she is an old friend you have known for years. She helped me put together the full timeline for our wedding day, and when she showed up the morning of our wedding, I was put completely at ease because I knew she would take charge, help us stay on schedule, and keep the day flowing smoothly. Besides being naturally talented, I think it is also important to note that she is professionally trained and educated in photography, not just someone who has developed a hobby over the years. Photography is the last thing you should try and cut corners on for your wedding day, and having a professional like Jeannine makes all the difference in the world. Her work speaks for itself, and she takes some of the most incredible photos I have ever seen. I cried tears of joy looking through our preview photos the morning after our wedding, and again when we received our full set of photos five weeks later. It is amazing being able to look through her pictures and have the same emotions wash over you that you were feeling when the photos were taken. I cannot recommend Jeannine’s services enough, and I will be forever grateful for the memories we get to relive through her photos.

er work. We had a Indian hindu ceremony at the Hindu temple in Maple Grove, and were just touched by how respectful and patient Jeannine was of all of our cultures and traditions. She is so easy going, and worked so hard to get the right angles and capture the right moments. And she does such a great job of capturing the colors! She even took the time to meet the family and close friends so she knew who to pull in during family pictures- SO appreciate her going the extra mile!! Can't say enough about how well she took the time to understand our culture and the moments in the wedding and reception that were important for us. Plus it was just fun to work with her, she is a very sweet person, and has a great sense of humor- she made us laugh and smile and frankly the whole thing was a lot less stressful with her by our side! Back to her pictures- they are gorgeous. She is so creative with her art, that I can honestly say we got some one of a kind unique pics with her, some that were beautiful, some that were cute.. that really captured who my husband and I are. And if you are looking for someone who captures the natural moments and the candid shots, but does it beautifully and gracefully, then look no further. I would highly recommend her!

ith you the entire day, so you want someone fun and organized - who can help you stick to a schedule without feeling stressed out. You also want someone who is fun to be around and can make you smile bigger than you already were. Jeannine is so fun and can put the entire wedding party and family members at ease. She has a ton of great ideas and creative energy that results in some of the most breathtaking shots. (Which by the way - we were so delighted to get a first glimpse of DURING our actual wedding! She set up her laptop so all of us were able we could get a sneak peek!) Our family has been blown away by Jeannine countless times, as the next family member to get married always ends up booking her for all the reasons listed above! :)

relive the wedding. And we all looked great!!! I'm thrilled to have such an amazing documentation of the day. I'm sure we'll look back on them for years to come. The only hard part is picking which on of her amazing pictures we want for the print that came with our package. How can you choose when everything is amazing! ;-) Highly recommend her as your wedding photographer!

ing about how gorgeous both our engagement photos and wedding photos turned out, in addition to speaking highly to the talented professional that she is. She is exactly the type of photographer that you want at your wedding. She's fabulous!

on time and producing FABULOUS photos! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

what type of wedding we were planning. She had many great ideas for creative shots and not your run-of-the-mill wedding photos. Jeannine was a lot of fun to work with but always very professional. She kept us moving with her imaginative ideas and was there from start to finish on our wedding day. She went about her business during the ceremony, reception, dinner and dance quietly and unobtrusively. If you want beautiful, creative photos of your special day, Jeannine is definitely your top choice.

, we are 2,000 miles away so the follow up work selecting pix, building our album, et al, has been so easy and just a joy even though we are so far away. Jeannine is totally on-line so it has been more than easy designing, selecting and building our album just the way we like it.

he kids.) She also knew our venue (Le Meridien Chambers) well and how and where she wanted to shoot. To get the beautiful, mounted photo included with the package was also so lovely. Professional, energetic, with an eye for how to put together a shot, she even knows how to position your body to make you look good. Please consider Jeannine for your special day, you will be so glad you did!

dding party and family had a great time with her and nothing but great things to say. She truly captured everything! When looking through the photos I can re-live the whole night. Nothing but smiles!! Thank you, thank you Jeannine!

. Of course the best part was seeing her talent in our wedding photos! She captured moments that I would've otherwise completely forgotten about in such a busy day. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!

o grateful to have had such a great experience with her! Love her!!

nt in time. I couldn't have asked for more! I am beyond happy and know if you pick Jeannine to be part of your day you will not regret it!

al aspects of getting great photos in any situation. Her eye for style and creative photography is amazing and she is the most personable woman I know. My now-husband and I loved her photos for our engagement shoot and our wedding, and our bridal party specifically commented on how great our photographer was to work with! It's was a great feeling to know our wedding was going to be well documented by a professional who could point out poses, find interesting shots we would never have thought of, and follow us the entire day "in the background". We loved all of the candid moments she would capture. In our opinion, best photographer in the Twin Cities/Minnesota!

from the Twin Cities up to Duluth to shoot for a day at the Glensheen Mansion for us. Everything she did was perfect, from the shot selection, to her efficiency, to her fun, easy nature. She was an absolute joy to work with. Jeannine even had a short slideshow of the early photos she had taken playing on a monitor at the bar after dinner, which was an amazing addition. Within a few days of the wedding, we had a "sneak peak" available on her website, and within a week or two of that we had our digital prints. Fast, friendly, and amazing. We could not recommend her more strongly. If you are going to be getting married in Minnesota, there's no one better.

amilies and listens to them; she is calm and easy to be around; she is efficient - and most importantly, she produces outstanding results. She has tremendous attention to detail and she ensures that everyone in her photos looks wonderful. I can't recommend Jeannine enough and I look forward to working with her again soon.

ing, but also that I felt that I clicked with. Not only is Jeannine amazing at what she does, but she is SO much fun to work with! We did our engagement, wedding and even a boudoir shoot with her. She has an amazing talent, and I am so happy with having her as our photographer. I would recommend her to everyone!

l of our space while we were doing the wedding party's makeup & hair, but she still captured some great getting ready shots. Jeannine even reached out to me the week of the wedding to ask if I wanted any special shots for our portfolio! Which I thought was so awesome beaches we rarely have a photographer reach out to us to ask that. :) Jeannine is talented, thoughtful and really takes the time to make sure she captures the essence of each of her clients. She's not just another photographer, she's passionate and talented. Hire her today!

ssence of a wedding day in brilliant and unique ways. She also has a professional and calm presence, that allows those who are in front of her camera enjoy themselves and know they are captured in the best light! :) As a fellow professional, experienced in the world of creating wedding celebrations, I can say that Jeannine Marie sets the bar high for creating a window into one of the best days of a couple's life and images that show the start of a great life together!

ne!

her. She took and developed the most incredible photos. She made us an the entire wedding party feel so comfortable and relaxed during the photo shoots, and we had a big wedding party! She was so great working with everyone from the grandparents to the kids and babies (and we had 18 kids in our wedding, which she handled beautifully, so she could handle anything!). She also was so great about keeping everything running on schedule throughout the day. We were so impressed with how quickly and efficiently she could set up these amazing shots with incredible backgrounds. We came with basically no ideas for what we wanted, and she created the most beautiful shots and organized such fun poses. We are absolutely thrilled with the end result, and so are our friends and family. At the end of the night she had a slideshow set up at the reception with some of the photos and our guests were constantly singing her praises with how great they turned out. As we have been sharing the photos with all our friends and family now, everyone comments on what an amazing photographer we had. She truly went above and beyond our expectations and we are so grateful to have these moments captured by Jeannine. We would absolutely recommend Jeannine Marie Photography to anyone we know.

t us both at ease as we modeled away. On our ride home my husband could not stop saying how much he liked working with Jeannine. After I analyzed each of photos and could feel the happiness coming from them we both new our wedding would be a success! Jeannine has backups of her backups, so you know you will have hundreds (or in my case 1200+) photos to help you relive your wedding day for years to come! We cannot wait to have Jeannine capture more milestones in our journey through life and know she will be there for us with the smiling professionalism we can always count on!

g she made everything feel so natural. Not only does she take amazing photos but we feel like we have known her forever and feel so blessed that she has been there to document the biggest moments of our lives. Since our wedding we have had a first anniversary photo shoot, a maternity/gender reveal photo shoot, and she shot pictures of our newborn son. Jenni is the only photographer that we will ever go with because we have built a relationship through her amazing photos that will last a lifetime. If you are looking for a photographer that will be there for you through all of life's greatest events, Jenni is your gal.

ional, fun to work with, and her creativity knew no bounds. She has a fun, quirky personality that matched perfectly with our personalities. She was really helpful in figuring out the flow of our wedding day in terms of photos and specific moments we wanted to capture, and she always made sure to explain why she would do things in a certain order or certain way. And her photos - AMAZING! We absolutely loved our engagement photos. She listened to what we wanted to get out of the shoot and gave us exactly what we asked for and so much more. We cannot wait to see the wedding photos!!! Seriously, if you are looking for a fun, laid back photographer with a photojournalistic, fresh style that provides the traditional wedding photos with a twist and are able to book Jeannine for your wedding, DO IT!!!

her and will hire her again for family photos for sure!!!!

variety of photos, some where she positions/poses people and also candid photos as well. I couldn't be happier with our experience with Jeannine and would strongly recommend her!
