jennachernich photography

I have had over a year to reflect on this and wanted to post a review so other brides don't have to deal with a similar situation. First the good: Jenna is very kind and sweet. She is easy to talk to and a warm presence. I wanted to hire vendors that I felt comfortable with, and she immediately felt like a friend. She also told us she had experience with our requirements (indoor photography, in particular). The rest: She asked for her second deposit way earlier than the required date. It was extremely awkard. She showed up on our wedding day to the salon where we were getting our hair done without her camera gear. I had to ask her to go to her car and get it. She came back and took some photos, but mostly chatted. She was going through some relationship stuff and talked about it in a detail that to me was deeply inappropriate for a wedding day. Throughout the day I felt like I had to do a lot of the admin and organizing that the rest of my vendors were able to manage themselves. I was fielding questions from her about where to go and when, though this was something we'd discussed in detail before and I'd sent a detailed schedule to her as well. I got married in September. We did not get photos til Christmas eve of that year. Throughout that time, she was posting picture of her new dog on Instagram and going on trips and posting about it all over the place and every time I reached out she would say "next week!" and it just kept getting pushed farther and farther back. When we finally got the photos, the resolution was terrible. There was no care in the editing (at one point, during a random unnecessary phone call she told me she was using AI to fix some of the lighting), no cropping, so color adjusting. Clearly she had no experience with indoor photography. It was extremely disappointing. Overpriced, low quality photos, and a deep lack of boundaries and professionalism.
