Jenelle Kappe Photography

I cannot say enough good things about Jenelle. She was the BEST. So professional, kind and just incredible at what she does. My family was blown away! The teaser photos she sent us are absolutely stunning and we can't wait to receive the rest of them! 10/10 HIGHLY recommend!

Jenelle is simply the BEST! We got our wedding photos back last month and we are absolutely over the moon with them. She captured every aspect of our day in such a beautiful way, and I cannot recommend her enough. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she is also a great energy to be around during what can be a very stressful day. My husband hates getting his photo taken, and I can confidently say that Jenelle and her husband Parker made him not only tolerate the experience, but enjoy it :) Thank you for everything Jenelle!!! <3

I am so incredibly lucky to have worked with Jenelle and her husband Parker at my wedding. She is beyond talented; I can’t even begin to tell you the number of compliments we received on our wedding photos. SO many people told us they were some of the best wedding photos they have ever seen. Landing an amazing photographer was my absolute number one priority when it came to my wedding and Jenelle did not disappoint. From our engagement shoot on an extremely cold day in January to our wedding day (another) cold day in November, she brought nothing but warmth and positive energy that you forgot how cold you were while taking pictures. Jenelle and Parker kept everyone on schedule, helped with my dress and my husbands bowtie, and felt like they were truly part of our family by the end of the wedding. I could go on and on about how incredible they are. I cannot recommend Jenelle enough!

Jenelle and her husband, Parker, were AMAZING! She is so talented and my entire wedding couldn’t stop talking about how awesome she was. She worked wonderfully with the other vendors, which was so important. She was unobtrusive throughout the whole ceremony and night, while making sure to get amazing shots. She even helped bustle my dress when we couldn’t figure it out! I can’t say enough great things about Jenelle, and I’m so excited for her to photograph my sister’s wedding next!

I am thrilled to recommend Jenelle (and Parker) to anyone looking to have the most beautiful photos of their wedding or other special moment. Our wedding photography was absolutely magnificent - more than anything I could have dreamed of. Jenelle came as a recommendation from my best friend who wished she had found Jenelle prior to her own wedding, and I couldn’t be more grateful for that connection. Jenelle has incredible creative talent and in all of the research I had done, no one compared to her. Aside from Janelle and Parker’s ability to flawlessly capture candids, emotional moments, family portraits and everything in between, their calm demeanor and ability to move people around quickly for photos made it all a breeze. They were so organized that we were able to capture so many quality moments without feeling like we were missing our own wedding. We had a large outdoor tented wedding (250 people, pre-COVID) and I was so impressed by her ability to capture so many of our guests and the most priceless moments on the dancefloor. Additionally, her package includes shooting the rehearsal dinner which was something that I hadn’t really thought much about prior to talking to Jenelle but then realized how much of a benefit that was. The rehearsal dinner provided for so many more intimate moments with close family and friends, and they were there to capture it all – the laughs over the slideshow, emotions over speeches, and friends getting together for drinks! Jenelle and Parker are awesome people who I cannot wait to have capture all of the special moments in our life. Having Jenelle and Parker as our wedding photographers was the best decision we made.

Jenelle is fantastic! Her photography completely highlights the emotion of the day, including beautiful lighting, candids and capturing every single perfect moment. Her photos are nothing short of stunning. After completely changing our wedding (including cutting our guest list and dealing with some unforeseen vendor issues) due to COVID, we were in search of a new photographer. Jenelle was incredibly flexible, kind and understanding of our situation and we immediately hired her. Jenelle & Parker both have the unique ability to quickly take thousands of pictures, while keeping the room calm and providing clear direction (even to a large group of loud young adults...) We also used Jenelle for our rehearsal dinner which was 100% worth it. I am so grateful that we have these photos forever and look forward to working with Jenelle on more family milestones in the future.

I’ve never been accused of being short-winded, So my full review is further below. BUT For those of you who skim – I’ll summarize first: As the saying goes, “A picture is worth a thousand words”; so here’s the link to Jenelle’s blog with photos ( http://bit.ly/tropical-destination-chapel-wedding ). This, by itself, should be enough to post a million star review and to book her right this second based on images alone. But additionally, how Jenelle interacts with the couple and family/friends & how she communicates is top-notch. Not to mention her endearing personality. I have seen enough weddings, resulting images and feedback to know – these soft-skills are what set a talented artist apart from others and can make or break the experience as a whole. And let me tell you: Jenelle is an absolute, high-caliber, all-around professional. NOW, for those of you who read EVERY REVIEW when making a big decision: I've never felt more beautiful in my life than I did the day of our wedding, and in Jenelle & Parker’s images. They tell the story of the whole weekend, and in some way, the history of the people there with us. You can see the happiness, the emotions, the scenery, the flow of the day, the relationships with our best friends and family. Her portfolio tells a story of not only “The Big Day” but our life with these people. Jenelle (& Parker) somehow know which moments matter most between which friends and family and capture them. Not only as they saw them through their lens, but exactly as we FELT them in the moment. And now we get to live these memories over and over in vivid detail. It’s been incredible already and will be cherished forever. Jenelle’s calm, organized demeanor, coupled with her laid-back vibe, took any amount of stress I could have had away. I never felt rushed or like we didn’t have enough time to stop for anything I wanted. I also never felt like I had to “do the work” – as she knows what she’s doing, asks the right questions in the months leading up to the event, and is always scanning the surroundings for inspiration. We also felt so at-ease with them from the moment we met on-location. Jenelle and her second shooter work effortlessly together and have an uncanny ability to fade into the background for all the journalistic, candid shots. They perfectly balance this invisible style by being simultaneously present, for those “Oh! Capture this!” requests and for the more posed shots. When Jenelle is being “present” for those posed shots, she’s amazing to watch! The way she swings the varying cameras and equipment around her neck strap and hip holster, as she snaps an astounding number of exquisite photos, all while calling out the ideal combination of instructions, compliments and exclamations of “Gorgeous!” to the entire group is just pure poetry. This, my friends, is a Woman in her element. And it shows not only in the result and beauty of her work, but also in her ability to take charge of the group, the scenery, the vision, and the flow of the entire day. These are the things that you can’t tell from artistry and images alone. I could write more and even then it wouldn’t be enough to fully express our gratitude to them for the role they played in our wedding – We have no other way to describe how perfect these guys are other than to just chalk it up to them being other-worldly superheroes or wizards. And I guess it’s fitting as that weekend was the most Super and Magical of our lives so far. <3

BEST wedding photographer in NJ, hands down! My photos are beyond gorgeous and she was such a pleasure to have on site the day of the wedding. Great energy and positive vibes--she made us smile all day long!

Jenelle and Parker were by far the best! Cool, calm, collected, kept things moving and made sure we were taken care of. Fun and joy to be around. They added so much ease to our day, I could not be more grateful. You are in great hands with Jenelle. I wish we could do it again!

Jenelle is AMAZING. Long story short, we had planned to hire her for our wedding, but ended up having to make a pretty dramatic destination change on short notice. We were scrambling to find a venue with availability and Jenelle was researching right alongside us! She sent us some amazing venues-- going above and beyond to help us out... I was absolutely floored by her kindness! In the end, we had to switch the wedding to a venue pretty far away and Jenelle couldn't photograph our wedding (totally understandable given the late notice!) but I still wanted to leave a review. I couldn't recommend Jenelle more. She is a phenomenally kind person who takes the time to build friendships with her clients. AND ON TOP OF THAT, her photographs are absolutely stunning.

Jenelle came highly reviewed by several friends. I had high hopes after seeing the beautiful photographs she took at several of my friend’s weddings. My husband and I were married in December, and Jenelle absolutely exceeded our very lofty expectations. She was SO easy to work with and made the entire day run smoothly. We never felt pressured by her. Additionally, she was able to work with us on a super tight schedule (working against sunset) and still capture hundreds of beautiful shots in a very short amount of time. Her second shooter was great. Very friendly and had a great eye. Having the two shooters was definitely worth it because it enabled us to have photos of the guys AND the girls getting ready. My husband and I want to get married again just so we have an excuse to have more photos taken by Jenelle. I don’t know what else to say, she is just awesome.

Besides marrying each other, Jenelle and Parker were our favorite part of the day. We had the honor of meeting Jenelle at a few of our family and friends weddings and we knew we had to have her as not just our photographer, but also a big part of our day. She doesn't just take amazing pictures, she also executes the entire day and makes the day completely less stressful. We feel lucky to know Jenelle and Parker, and highly reccomend them!!

Jenelle and her second shooter Parker were both outstanding!! Not only do they take the most stunning photos but they helped make my big day seamless. She is very professional, very well organized and most importantly a pleasure to be around. She made my husband and I feel so comfortable. I feel so lucky to have met them. I cant thank them enough for taking such beautiful pictures of our big day, I will cherish them forever <3 Lauren

A picture tells a thousand words when the simple picture of a cake captured our attention. While surfing the net in a mindless daze of information overload, it was that simple cake picture that grabbed our attention to seek out more information of the eye behind the lens. This journey leads us to a coffee visit with Jenelle, which could have lasted for hours. Her quiet, yet warm personality embraced passion and excitement of her love of photography. Her experience shined as our intimate moments were captured during our engagement session and our wedding day. Her friendly smile and caring heart makes you feel at ease on one of the biggest days of your life. Her professionalism is unmatched and her personal touch embraces your life. Not one small detail ever gets over looked as seen in her finished product. Her unique mix of photojournalism, portraiture, and art tells a story that all can cherish. Her work not only tells a story, but it captures the feeling to allow you to relive the moment time and time again.

I don't even know where to begin... Jenelle is perfection. Not only are her photographs flawless, but she is the sweetest thing on Earth. Our wedding photos are gorgeous - Her style is stunning and her eye for detail is impeccable. If you're really into photography and are looking for more than just the traditional wedding photograph - Jenelle is your girl. You will still get all the wedding portraits you're looking for, but you will also get artistic shots, emotional shots, candid shots - and just that one photo that makes you go, "wow." Jenelle is extremely easy to work with - She wants to get to know you as a couple - She wants you to feel comfortable with the camera. She wants you to laugh and most importantly, just have fun and forget she's even there. And she does just that. I can honestly say that not only did I get the most amazing wedding photos, but I gained a friend too. Thank you for everything, Jenelle!

Jenelle is beyond amazing! Her talent, personality, passion, patients, and professionalism makes Jenelle such an amazing photographer. Within minutes of meeting her we felt so comfortable, she felt more like our friend than photographer.The day of our wedding my maid of honor was MIA and jenelle took over helping me with my shoes and busseling my dress....all she was missing was a bridesmaid dress :) we highly highly recommend Jenelle. I can say that Jenelle will be our photographer for life!

Over 1000 images, so many perfect pictures I can't decide. Amazing photographer. She was able to make me so relaxed that I forgot she was there taking pictures. I am was speechless when I got to see my pictures. She is worth every penny!

I wouldn't recommend Jenelle as a wedding photographer, especially for a big wedding are many. I had around 150 people at my reception, which must have been too much for her, because I didn't get photographs of half of my guests. I was also extremely disappointed with the preparation and ceremony shots. During the ceremony, she took all of the pictures from ONE ANGLE- I only have photos from one point of view and no close ups. Before booking she was very nice, but during the event and afterwords, she was very negative and hard to communicate with. I wish I went with someone else, but there's nothing I can do about it now besides warn all you brides to be!

My fiance and I fell in love with Jenelle upon our first meeting, that we cancelled all of our other appts. She has taken 3 photo shoots for us to date and we are looking forward to having another event so she can be there. She has such an amazing personality that she can make anyone comfortable in any setting. Her work is equally amazing. She has such an eye to capture the perfect photo and turn it into art. Her work is truly beautiful.

We were so lucky to have Jenelle for our special day. She is such a lovely person and really takes the time to understand who you are as a couple and creates photographs to capture that very essence. We have already recommended her to so many people and we will use her in the future for anything we know we want to have beautiful memories of! With Jenelle, they are not just photographs, they are truly works of art.

Jenelle photographer my sister's wedding and I was so impressed that I had to have her for mine. She is such a talented photographer. She doesn't just take pictures, she creates memories, works of art and photographs you will treasure for a life time. She is worth every penny!
