My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Jen for our September wedding in Sonoma. We spoke with several different photographers, and ultimately we felt as though Jen's body of work and personality was the best fit. Her prices, while no...t cheap, were competitive and within the range of what we planned in our wedding budget. She was friendly, willing to answer our numerous questions, and really flexible with creating packages that suited our photography needs.
The package we ended up going with included an engagement shoot, and full wedding day coverage with a second shooter. We also firmed up pricing for wedding albums. Jen was super accommodating and flexible on the day of our engagement shoot. She really made us feel at ease, and took the time to get to know us. On our wedding day, Jen and her associate Kendal, showed up on time and were totally delightful and professional. They had it all down like clockwork. From our details shots, to getting ready, and of course all of our special moments during the ceremony and reception. We LOVE our engagement shoot and wedding day photos - we've framed them up everywhere in our home!
I think any couple who has ever been through the wedding planning process know that the process can be anxiety-inducing if your wedding vendors aren't in the loop. Before, during, and after our wedding day, Jen was extremely communicative and reliable. She was in touch with our coordinator and other wedding vendors, and even did a walkthrough of our venue with us beforehand so we could choose out special spots for our first look and portraits. After the delivery of our images, she worked with us to correct any minor details to ensure that all of our images were delivered to our liking. Once all was said and done, Jen also worked with us to design a wedding album in time to gift to our families for the holidays.
If you like what you see on Jen's website and social media pages, you will not be disappointed with what you get if you book with her!
A final minor detail: it seems the assumption in the wedding industry is that the males care less about the wedding planning and details, despite being an equal half in the upcoming union. While this may be true in most cases, I personally found this a little frustrating as we were both contributing in different ways in the planning process. I SO appreciated that Jen was one of the few vendors that addressed both me and my husband in practically all of her communications.
