Jen Jinkens Photography

t available on our wedding day but Jen's friend (another photographer) Laura was. Jen helped me make a wedding timeline and had great ideas and advice planning everything leading up to the wedding. We were unable to meet Jen in person before the wedding but Caleb and I as well as our wedding party warm up quickly to both Jen and Laura! They did an amazing job from start to finish. We got a sneak peak of our photos and I cannot stop looking at them. They are better than I could have imagined, we love them so much! Thank you Jen! Can't wait to see the rest!!!

d product, our family and friends were stunned by the quality of the photos. We can’t wait to work with her again for our wedding!

who I truly felt cared about me and my special day and didn’t get wrapped up in the money side of things. She offered to give me a full refund even though I’m sure that went against the contract. Because she was so nice and helpful, she made the process so much less stressful for me. Not to mention on the actual day of the wedding she was insanely patient and was able to get everyone where they needed to be and on time! I feel like she played the role of my day-of coordinator as well. Basically, Jen and Gordy were one of our favorite parts of our wedding and the pictures they took are absolutely incredible. I definitely suggest hiring Jen for both engagement shoot and wedding day! You won’t regret it 🤗

ines from within her pure heart and spirit (you’ll know what I’m talking about when you meet her!) - if you’re in search for the BEST photographer that also makes you feel confident, relaxed, and captures the most perfect moments, look not further!! P.S. I’m devastated Jen is moving to Chicago because I was planning on having her photograph all of my future events (baby showers, anniversary’s, etc..) - Chicago is blessed to have her now! - Melissa Younkins

eir work then! These two are AMAZING! Gordy even helped with our dog who we had join for some of the photos. They are incredibly responsive and honest! Hands down recommend using Jen for your photos. The turnaround time was insanely fast too! We struck gold with these two!!

ation to scope it out a couple weeks before the wedding, and was really helpful and creative with a day of timeline. She and Gordy were very personable and engaging. I would definitely recommend her to others! Thank you for being part of our big day!

they captured both days perfectly. Jen makes herself so available and you can reach out to her with anything. 10000% recommend.

aft. They made both of us feel comfortable throughout the entire process: our engagement session, planning our ‘day of’ timeline, and making our wedding day perfect! They jumped right in and joined in on the fun with our wedding party, finding the perfect moments of the day to capture, from their arrival until their departure. They made all of our family and friends comfortable and at ease throughout the entire day, and as a result, the photos that we’ve received from Jen are simply stunning! I highly recommend Jen Jinkens Photography to anyone booking a wedding, in fact we’re fortunate to get to see Jen and Gordie again next summer, as they’ll be shooting our friend’s wedding! We are so lucky and fortunate that Jen and Gordie were willing to travel to Illinois for our engagement session and wedding day, capturing the best of what the midwest has to offer, and we can cherish those memories for the rest of our lives.

fessionalism were beyond our expectation. Jen made me feel like she was my best friend and someone I had known my entire life. She made sure my dress, veil and bouquet were always perfectly placed. She & Gordon were so much more to us on our wedding day than our photographers — they were friends, comedians, supporters, instructors, etc. — they were EVERYTHING! The small glimpse of photos we have seen are absolutely breathtaking and I would trust them 100 times over to do it all again!

inkens. She will make you so comfortable and truly loves the couples she works with. You will not go wrong working with them. BOOK THEM!!

dings and it wasn't a "cookie cutter, do these 40 poses" type of shoot. When my husband (who doesn't really like taking photos) left saying "I actually had fun!", I KNEW I had to snag her for our wedding. She traveled to California to shoot our wedding and it made the whole day even better knowing we had a photographer that knew us and that we could trust. You will not regret hiring her for any type of photoshoot you choose.

best and her familiarity with our venue. Jen and Gordie drove up to Sedona with us for our engagement session and we had a blast together. Our photos came out awesome! Between the engagement session and our big day, Jen kept in perfect contact with us and easily made changes to the photo schedule as things came up. At our wedding, Jen and Gordie were on time, per usual, and kept our wedding parties engaged and got some great candids! At the ceremony Jen perfectly captured the emotions of guests, us, parents, and didn’t miss a beat. At the reception I believe I remember seeing Jen up on Gordies shoulders snapping photos of our Hora dance! That was awesome! They really did put there all into our event. We were so happy with how everything turned out and Jen and Gordie we’re an absolute joy to work with!

we could easily see her being a part of our wedding day. We had our engagement session in Sedona last April and had so much fun on the shoot! Jen was so attentive, constantly fixing my hair or dress, always making sure we looked our best. Our wedding day was made perfect because of Jen & Gordie. As a former photographer, I am always thinking about making sure I get all the best shots, but at our wedding, I was so relaxed, and trusted that Jen & Gordie would get all the best photos. From the beginning of the day to the end, they were extremely professional, friendly, and so fun to work with. Even with our enormous family, they kept the flow going without issue and captured all the shots we wanted and more. All our family cannot stop talking about how awesome of a photography team they were. Simply amazing. We cannot recommend them enough. Do it!

ected their craft. I highly recommend Jen for wedding photography (and literally anything else you may need photographed). It is one of the greater expenses of your wedding budget and I can assure you Jen is worth literally every penny!!! If we were to go back and do it again she would 100% be our chosen photographer! Thank you Jen and Gordie for being such an integral part of our special day, we are so grateful to you for your time, your light heartedness, your laughter, your constant dress fluffing and weed pulling and your willingness and attentiveness throughout our special day. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! Also. An aside but I had asked her a couple of weeks prior to our wedding for a favor for the end of our evening and it completely slipped my mind, but low and behold JEN FOLLOWED THROUGH! Without any need for a reminder. Freaking incredible human!

r photos were amazing - we are having a hard time choosing our favorites to frame because we love them all!

comfortable in front of the camera and to get to know Jen - she's hilarious, fun, and professional. While taking pictures, she's super helpful at giving direction for poses while also capturing natural moments. On to the wedding - I have a big crazy family so Jen helped me create a photography timeline which made the day run smoothly. Jen and her husband Gordie work together on the wedding day so you get pictures from every angle. They arrived at the venue early to start with photos of the wedding party -(Gordie photographs the groomsmen and Jen the bridesmaids), then the first look, and the venue. It was so fun to look through the photos from getting ready all the way through to the reception. You can tell Jen and Gordie genuinely love what they do, and it shows in their photos. Thank you, Jen!

every photo we wanted without making it seem like we spent all our time getting photos. I highly recommend Jen and couldn't of asked for better memories of my special day!

onal and kind. She and her husband were very reliable and we felt so at ease with both of them. I was pretty worried about photos b/c I don't enjoy taking them and always feel awkward. Jen cracked jokes the whole time and made the process feel as natural as possible. The edited photos arrived within the timeline Jen gave us. Our wedding was in the middle of summer so some of our photos were pretty washed out, but we ended up with an album full of photos we love. Thanks Jen!

(which as a bride, you will see - you count down the days to getting those pictures!!!).

sweetest person and her love/passion for her work shows. We highly recommend them for your special day!!

with a great time line that worked for us on our big day. When I told her that I wanted to go on a mountain for our first look she was all about it! And they turned out perfect!! YASS HUNNIE!! Our first look photos are my favorite photos! Our family and friends are still raving about how good our photos turned out. Thank you Jen for making our day so memorable!!

, I was still so unsure of myself, I know I am not a model. Jen was so quick to respond to all of my emails and calm my nerves, we even FaceTimed once or twice. She was so responsive and understanding throughout the entire process. The day of the shoot came, and Jen was a BLAST to have. It was non-stop laughs and smiles. She made us both feel so comfortable in front of a camera. We got the photos back so quick and I was almost in tears at how amazing the album was. Each picture was better than the last! It was such an easy choice hiring her for our wedding. We had a destination wedding, and Jen and Gordie let us know when they arrived safe and sound. It is like Jen read my mind and knew I was nervous about timing, she showed up a little early to see how I was doing and make sure everything was going well. Having her around while we were getting ready was a dream. All of my bridesmaids just raved about how natural Jen made them feel. Nothing was forced or setup, which is exactly what I wanted. My husband was thrilled that the second photographer was her husband, there is something about a group of guys getting photographed by another guy that just makes the groomsmen feel more comfortable. Every thing Jen and I talked through was done and done on time! From shooting me and the girls, to the venue/table settings, the guys, the family it all just went so perfect! The day after the wedding, Jen was texting me some raw/unedited photos because I just couldn't wait! I don't know many photographers that would do that, but Jen just gets it! My husband and I would highly recommend Jen Jinkins Photography to anyone, and I know Jen will be our first call for our future family photos. We love you Jen and Gordie!!

use she is in such high demand :)

ke good pictures but meshing with their personality is just as important, if not more! We couldn't have been more pleased to spend our day with Jen and Gordy. Not only are they so pleasant and fun to be around but they are damn good at photography! Even our guests commented on how great they were! I loved that they were getting photos of our guests throughout the night too because those are the photos that we/they want to look back on and remember our night by! So many times I've left a wedding as a guest with zero photos and it's a bummer, so having Gordy ask guests if they wanted their photo taken was amazing! They made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and gave us good direction without making us feel like weird staged models. We LOVE the photos we've seen so far and we can't wait to see all of them! Jen and Gordon are the best team and you need to hire them!! We can't thank you two enough for capturing these moments on our wedding day that we will cherish forever!!!!
