Hiring Jen as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made. From the moment we met her, she was warm, professional, and so easy to be around. She brought exactly ...
the energy we needed on our wedding day. Jen has an incredible creative eye and a true artistic vision, and she captured the day in a way that felt both magical and completely true to us.
We had a few changes to the timeline and some unexpected shifts throughout the day, and Jen handled everything with complete ease. She never seemed flustered and instead brought a calm, steady presence that made everyone feel at ease. Our families and wedding party could not stop talking about how wonderful she was to work with. Everyone was impressed by how kind, efficient, and focused she was.
Jen works hard and smart, and it shows in everything she does. She delivered a preview album so quickly, and we were blown away. The photos were stunning, full of emotion, and told the story of our day so beautifully. We have already looked through them more times than we can count, and each time we see something new and special.
Jen is a kind, talented, and truly incredible human who makes your wedding day feel easy and fun. I recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a photographer who genuinely cares, sees the beauty in every moment, and captures it with skill and heart. Thank you, Jen.
Jen was fantastic! I couldn’t love my wedding photos more. She is a true professional. Her organization and directions helped keep the vibe of the day calm and enjoyable! She has a...

ld not recommend Jen K Photo more for your wedding day!
You can stop looking for photographers because you have found the best one in Cincinnati. I liked Jen from the first video chat and my love for her grew at our engagement session. ...
She is the perfect combination of personal and professional. Family members came to us after our wedding saying how amazing Jen was on the day. Jen is worth every penny!!
Jen was phenomenal! Not only are our photos GORGEOUS, but she is just amazing. From the moment we first spoke, she was nothing but supportive. I loved how quickly she always respon...
ded and how flexible she was with us. She helped me through all of my worries prior to the wedding, and was so helpful and available the day of. I have a huge family and was anxious about family photos and she calmed me down and was great about wrangling everyone and doing it quickly (without rushing anyone) so we could spend more time on our portraits/whatever else we wanted. Every time I needed something, I feel like Jen was right around the corner.
My mom and sister made a comment about how she felt like so much more than a photographer and I couldn’t agree more. So many of my guests told me how excited they were to see photographs because they loved how present she was during the whole night and I’m so glad she was able to capture so many moments that I might have missed.
If you’re looking for a photographer who is genuine and incredibly supportive of her couples, Jen is your girl!
We booked Jen to photograph our wedding, and she did an incredible job!!! The pictures are absolutely stunning! She was very quick to send us a sneak peak of the photos, which I lo...

She was very easy to work with and is a great communicator, and she was so friendly and supportive (I have very low self esteem and she made me feel so beautiful!)!

big day everything you want it to be. Prior to the wedding, Jen was so thorough in making sure she knew all the important details of our wedding. We had a call a couple days before the wedding that put my mind at ease! On the day of the wedding, Jen was fun, professional, attentive, just everything and more! She helped keep me calm when I had my stressful moments throughout the day. We got our sneak peeks back about a week later and WOW, I could not believe how good they were. Her style of photography is so airy, light, modern, and perfectly aesthetic. I didn’t think it could get any better until we got our full gallery back. Every moment she captured was flawless. Looking back on the pictures brought so much joy to my husband and I. Jen, from the bottom of our hearts thank you for being such an important part of our day. Brides, I HIGHLY recommend booking Jen for your wedding! She is truly the best!!!

advice for the wedding day details. When it comes to photos, my husband and I are not photogenic people however she made our wedding look like a fairytale! An absolute fairytale!! Our wedding day was so special and really felt like a fairytale to us and she captured that so beautifully. We’ve gotten so many compliments on our photos and we love looking at them in our home. Thank you Jen!!
I searched for weeks trying to find a photographer with the timeless, bright & airy style I envisioned. When I found Jen, I was over the moon because her work was exactly what I wa...
s looking for (and a great price too). Choosing Jen as our photographer was the best decision we made while planning our wedding. She was super responsive, flexible, and fun to work with. With all the stress that comes from planning and preparing for a wedding, it was comforting to know that our photos were going to turn out amazing without us having to worry about it. We have some of the most amazing photos that perfectly capture our love, our wedding day, and all the important people that celebrated with us. We are blown away each time we reminisce with these photos. We can’t thank Jen enough! HIRE HER. :)
Where do I begin?! Jen was absolutely AMAZING. During the weeks leading up to the big day, she eased my stress by taking the time to help with our day of timeline. On our wedding d...
ay she ensured things ran smoothly while also doubling as our own personal hype girl. I’ve never been one to really enjoy having my picture taken but Jen made things comfortable & so much fun with her bubbly & contagious personality! Not to mention, our pictures came back absolutely stunning & we have received so many compliments on them! She has such an eye for details & captured our big day perfectly. Jen is wonderful & I absolutely recommend her for your special day!
Jen exceeded completely all our expectations! She was a complete joy to work with from the engagement session all the way through the big day, to the delivery of the amazing photos...
. She was there for us at every turn, no matter the question and always made us feel comfortable and less stressed about everything. The emotion that she captured through the photos is something we will cherish for many years to come and brought tears to our eyes when looking back on them. Jen will not disappoint and is the perfect photographer, hype woman, wedding day bestie that you could ever ask for.
Jen was the very best! She made everything so so easy. She told us where to look, where to put out hands, etc— which we definitely needed. I have a friend who just got married and ...
her photographer just kept saying “act natural” and that’s all the direction they got. I much prefer Jen’s approach and our photos are 100000x better because of it! She was also all for our INSANE dogs coming at the end of the shoot to be apart of our wedding day and we finally have a perfect family photo after 8 years! Photos are not really our thing because, as a mixed race couple, one of us is always hidden due to bad lighting but not with Jen! Lighting was perfect and there’s seriously not one photos that I wouldn’t print and hang on the wall (trust me—I really want all of them up but I think that would be excessive). We have even booked maternity photos with her too and I cannot wait to have more perfect photos!
I recently worked with Jen for a branding session and oh.my.goodness! I always feel awkward behind the camera and she helped me come right to life! She was such a joy to work with!...
I instantly felt comfortable when she welcomed me to the studio space with her warm smile and upbeat music! She danced along with me behind the camera and seriously made me feel so confident and beautiful! She gave me direction but also asked all of the right questions so she knew exactly what I wanted out of the shoot.
I can’t wait to work with Jen again!
Jen did a branding session in my home for my small business and it was amazing! She captured me in my natural habitat making and creating, and she also knew just how to pose me and...

Jen exceeded our expectations! She is so talented and knowledgeable about all things photography. I didn’t have to stress about choosing poses, family picture lineups, nothing. She...
directed us and made sure the whole day was captured. She was everywhere she needed to be on time and so prepared. The months leading up to our wedding she was so helpful in helping us plan for the wedding day, making sure we got everything photographed that we wanted to. 20/10 recommend. Thank you, Jen

During the actual day Jen was my calm voice in the midst of the chaos! Cannot thank her enough for supporting our special day & our pictures are INCREDIBLE! :)
My husband and I are so thankful for Jen! Our wedding was scheduled for March 21, 2020 in Florida, which just so happened to be the first weekend most of the country entered into s...
tay-at-home orders for the COVID-19 pandemic. We postponed our wedding to 2021 out of an abundance of caution for our guests, but we still wanted to claim our original day.
So with about a week's notice, we planned an intimate ceremony at Eden Park with just us, a pastor, a friend to live stream for our families, and Jen to take pictures our special moment.
The pictures turned out beautifully! Jen was so great at making sure we had plenty of pictures from our ceremony, and walked around with us to get sweet pictures after. She was so kind and made sure we had all of the shots we wanted.
While we didn't get the wedding we had planned on (yet), we did get something so special despite the circumstances and Jen is a big part of making that happen. We will treasure these pictures forever.
Jen is absolutely amazing. She makes you feel so comfortable while taking pictures and is always catching the best shots!! The photos she takes are absolutely gorgeous. I would rec...
ommend her to anyone!!
