We love Jen and her team!!! She was absolutely amazing to work with! She was so easy going and really helped us navigate the day!!! Multiple guests commented on how great she was with navigating photos!!! Rebecca was our other photographer and ...
she was just as fantastic to work with!!! We could not recommend Jennifer Hyde Photography enough!
I cannot say enough about JHyde Photography! Jen and her team were the absolute best people to work with. During our photographer search, Jen made time to answer all of our questions via call/text/email. Her prices are very comparable to other ...
photographers in the area. Jen shot both our engagement photos and wedding photos. The entire shoot she made us feel very comfortable and natural. Guiding us through each pose, making us feel like a million bucks! Her system to view and download photos is user friendly. Her photos are light, airy, timeless. For our wedding, she was literally everything. She knew exactly what she was doing, knew how to handle our large bridal party, and get all the family in order. She took all of the shots I requested and more. She is so friendly and real. I would 100000% hire Jen again.
Jen is absolutely amazing and we are so in love with our engagement photos! We spent hours researching the perfect photographer for our wedding and are so lucky we found Jen. She was super responsive to our questions and took the time to get to...
know myself and my fiancé and what we were looking for. At our engagement session she made us super comfortable and we had such a fun time. Our engagement photos are stunning and we couldn’t be more excited for her to photograph our wedding next year!
Any questions?
I don’t usually write reviews and I especially don’t normally give one star but I felt it was important to let other people know about our experience with this photographer. We spent approximately $4,500 on our wedding package with Jen and she ...
seemed great at first. She did an engagement photo session with us and we liked how the photos came out! However, the problem that we had was that she texted me at 7:45pm the night before our wedding letting me know she wasn’t going to be able to make it because she wanted to spend time with her son and she was sending a backup photographer in her place (we paid for 2 photographers) but not to worry because they had worked together before and there would be no issues! I didn’t have time to meet the new photographer or tell her how I imagined wanting things to go but there was nothing I could do about it and hoped she was right, everything would be fine. The main photographer who showed up was very kind but not at all assertive (which is what my wedding party needed a bit of to stay on track!) and did no coaching to let us know how to pose or where to put our hands, etc. and the back up photographer told us she had never met Jen or the new “main” photographer before and she had hired her off of a Facebook group. I was upset to hear this but let it go. When we got our pictures back I was horribly dissatisfied with the results and reached out to Jen to discuss. She seemed understanding and willing to try to fix the images to my liking. Well after probably 30 text messages following up, and about 10 months after our wedding (3 months after the promised updated/edited photos) she now will not even respond to my texts. Totally disappointed with our experience and the customer service of this “company.” I hope other people don’t have this experience with her but I felt the need to inform others of our experience so they can make their own decisions. Good luck and beware!

Hello, Amy! I am very disheartened and shocked as I write this reply, as I totally did not expect to see a review like this on our storefront. I thoroughly enjoyed working with you and Eric through your engagement session, and I truly wish I co...
uld have been the one capturing your wedding day on 10/23/22. However, my son was hospitalized just under two weeks before your wedding date due to a life-threatening medical emergency. We wanted to ensure that in such a vulnerable time, he was in the best hospital with a nurturing and caring environment for him to heal, so the hospital he was admitted to was a long drive from our home. Throughout such a catastrophic blow to our usual family element and routines, my main focus was my son, his healing, and taking care of my daughter, as well, while my husband continued to work. I did reach out with an original email to all of my clients on October 12th, updating everyone on the situation and making it known that we did have plans in place for our Lead Associate photographer, Rebecca, and another one of our seconds to step in given any unforeseen circumstances such as the one we had found ourselves in. In this original email, I did say that the plan at that time was for my son to return home after about a week or so but that we were not sure what the near future held for us. By doing so, I hoped to mentally prepare my wedding clients in the coming weeks for the possibility of having a new photographer step up in my place if he did have to be hospitalized for longer than a week, which he did. I do apologize for sending you her contact information so close to your wedding date. I should have had my assistant send her information over sooner, but with so many clients to reach out to and a large influx of emails to my original email that went out to all clients, along with the general chaos that comes with the territory of an unexpected hospitalization of your child, it got lost in the jumble of all the thoughts bouncing around in my head at that time, and for that, I am truly sorry. Although Rebecca may not be as “assertive,” I fully trust her to step in for my clients in any unexpected absence of mine and trust her ability to guide and instruct. As for our second associate photographer who attended the wedding - it is not uncommon for photographers to reach out to peers in Facebook Groups in unforeseen circumstances, such as this one, for a last-minute stand-in. Although it is not the ideal situation, it is not uncommon. I still thoroughly went through the social media/portfolio of the photographers who said they were available for your date and found this photographer to be the best fit. When I got the raw images of your wedding back from Rebecca and our stand-in photographer, I thought the images were gorgeous, and I was so sad to have missed out on such a beautiful day! With that being said, I was shocked to hear the disappointment following the delivery of your full gallery. With the chief complaint being the leaves on the ground in the background of the photos, I did my best to find some creative solutions to edit them out without the integrity of the photos being taken away. However, that did prove to be difficult due to the wedding date having been when we were nearing the colder fall months that require either a rake or leaf blower to be able to fully remove the large amount of leaves littering the ground. Even with this difficult task, I worked around the clock to create a gallery that kept the presence of leaves on the ground to a minimum, along with any other requested changes, because I knew my absence, although forewarned, was still quite unexpected. After delivering multiple updated versions of the wedding gallery along with a partial refund to make amends for any misgivings, I feel that, as a company, we have done our best to make as many accommodations as possible, and I have personally poured my blood, sweat, and tears into the final wedding gallery that was delivered. I believe that even with the leaves on the ground, among other things, you and your husband looked phenomenal on your wedding day, along with your bridal party. I am still disheartened to this day that I was not able to be there on the day of your wedding personally, and I have conveyed my most sincere apologies through many texts and emails over the course of these last ten months. If you would like to speak about this further personally, my emails and texts are always open, but I do, with an open heart and completely pure intentions, believe we have done everything we can to make the best out of a situation that was uncontrollable and unforeseen. I wish you nothing but the best in your life and marriage.
Jen was absolutely AMAZING! I researched many, many photographers because this is what you are left with after the wedding. I emailed back and forth with different photographers and looked on instagram and through portfolios to get a feel for e...
ach one's aesthetic. Jen was a top contender for me from the very beginning because her photos are so bright and full of emotion. She captures moments that are unique and beautiful. On the day of our wedding, Jen did such an INCREDIBLE job. She took breathtaking photos, thought of new and interesting ways to get a shot, and made everyone feel comfortable. I LOVED so many of our photos! She was definitely one of my favorite vendors and we are so happy we went with her. Take a look at her website and instagram page. You will not be disappointed!
I cannot say enough good things about Jen and her team! From our engagement photos to our wedding photos everything turned out better than I could have imagined! We received our wedding photos within 3 weeks of our wedding and now my husband an...
d I can’t stop looking at them. Every part of the day was captured so perfectly and all the pictures are beautiful. Communication with Jen was super easy as she responded right away with any questions or concerns that I had. I was worried that taking so many pictures the day of the wedding would be dreadful and take up too much time but Jen and her team were so fast and efficient and captured all the pictures I asked! I would recommend Jen over and over again!! Thank you for allowing me to relive my wedding through these pictures
Jen was great! She had great communication and helped us plan the day so that it went smoothly. She was so fun and personable to work with, and I have loved our sneak peaks so far!
If you are looking for a wedding photographer- you HAVE to book Jennifer Hyde Photography. Jenn was absolutely amazing to work with! She did our engagement photos and wedding day photos, and both times made my fiancé and I feel special and happ...
y. She captured the perfect moments of love on those special days. She had us both laughing and reminiscing about our love and it shows in each of the pictures. We weren’t the only ones impressed, even our wedding guests loved her, we heard great feedback all night!
I know choosing a photographer is such an important part of anyone’s big day, so I hope that this helps make that decision a little easier. You will be in the best hands with Jenn.

Jen was amazing at helping to create beautiful little moments. She really understood what was important to us from the very beginning—capturing moments as they happened and getting images that we can pass down for generations to come—she under...
stood this sentiment and worked with us, letting us be ourselves but also guiding us and helping to get those shots. We aren’t used to being the center of attention and it was definitely a shift to have all eyes on us, but Jen made us so comfortable. She made it easy and fun. She was so great about getting us sneak peak photos in such a short amount of time, which made it exciting to see them so quickly.
On our wedding day, Jen was prompt and professional. She brought a calm energy and was efficient. She rolled with the punches and adapted to a few things that went slightly astray from what I had planned, making it all flow seamlessly. She was so great at directing our family and friends in a fun and efficient way. She is very kind and sweet. Hiring any vendor for our wedding, we wanted to make sure that the people we were hiring to be with us on one of the most intimate days of our lives would fit in with everyone and keep our families feeling comfortable—Jen exceeded all of these expectations. It is so natural for her to interact with everyone and guide them to get the shots needed. My family and bridesmaids all said how much they loved our photographer! So thank you, Jen, for making our wedding day so incredible. We’d recommend Jen to anyone looking for a top notch photographer!

a male’s perspective, I am not always one to be comfortable taking a lot of pictures but Jen made us both feel comfortable in front of the camera. She made it a really fun experience for both engagement pictures and on our wedding day. She was very easy to talk to and I felt like she understood what was important to us. She captured moments that will be keepsakes for a lifetime. So happy that we chose her. She was amazing and we’d recommend her to anyone!

We selected JHyde Photography when we first started planning our wedding in 2019. We booked an engagement session through them and had so much fun taking pictures and getting to know Rebecca, our photographer. She made us feel so comfortable. W...
e originally planned on getting married in 2020 but then postponed until July 2021 and JHyde was more than understanding. They honored our contract and moved dates with us. Our new date did not work for our original photographer but JHyde quickly problem solved and replaced our lead photographer so we did not have to worry. We could not be happier with how everything turned out! Ashley and Melissa were our photographers for our wedding day. They were absolutely wonderful to work with and were so easy going. They were with us through the getting ready process and stayed through most of our reception. After church they helped us problem solve a 2nd picture location due rain so that our we would avoid getting soaked and still have great pictures. They also suggested my husband and I take a special moment for ourselves during our reception where we danced in front of a band that was playing at our venue. It is now such a special memory for us which would have never happened without them! By the end of the night, they felt like not just our photographers but our friends. We did not book a videographer so we relied solely on pictures to capture our big day and our pictures are exactly what we hoped for! Jen has also been so great to work with as well! She has been very helpful and edited our pictures beautifully! We could not be happier with our decision to pick JHyde Photography for our engagement pictures and our wedding day!

Love, Jen!
Jen and her team were a joy to work with. Our day would not have been the same if we had worked with a different photography team. Jen and her crew were so invested in our day and truly put all of their effort into capturing every candid moment...
that arose. Jen was more than a wedding photographer on our day; she truly felt like a guiding/reassuring hand when everything seemed to be flying a million miles an hour. If you're a couple that's on the hunt for the right photographer, look no further. You will meet so many people in the months leading up to the big day as you plan, but meeting with and working with Jen felt like we were meeting with a friend who always had our best interest in mind. I think people with careers in the wedding industry could learn a thing or two from this team. Our photos from our engagement session and the wedding are simply flawless. We wanted everything on our day to be perfect, but Jen made everything on her end perfect and FUN! We are so happy that we made the decision to have Jennifer Hyde Photography & Associates capture and record our special day.

Jen- JHyde Photography
I don’t have enough words to describe how meaningful and appreciated my experience has been with JHyde photography.
Not only is Jen an amazing photographer, she is one who makes all the moments special. This is coming from a COVID bride, who ...
had to postpone her wedding, but still chose to marry in a small intimate ceremony this year. I took a long shot to see if Jen would be available to shoot our small ceremony in a weeks notice (as well as still shoot our big ceremony next year). Without hesitation, she showed up and captured our most special moments. She is not only incredibly talented, but incredibly thoughtful in capturing all the moments that flash by around you, when you’re too busy focusing on your groom!!! 😆She pays attention to detail and listens to what pictures matter to you. She is a person who really cares about her clients and believes in a story of love!!
I would recommend Jen to everyone looking for a thoughtful and talented photographer. We are so looking forward to her capturing more magical moments for us at our big wedding celebration next year!!!

ackage which fit my needs and budget to just being so fun the day of. They kept everything light to have everyone laughing. She was awesome with communicating, especially during a lot of worries of what was going to happen due to covid, but assured me every time that they would do anything they needed to if anything changed. Our families love every picture, and the video just made everyone smile and cry as we relived the day again. They captured everything and more than we could’ve asked for.

There are honestly not enough words to describe our experience with Jen! She is absolutely amazing in every way possible, and she truly made our wedding magical! With Covid taking away so much from us she seemed to bring so much back in making ...
our day beyond special and she went so far above and beyond anything we could have wanted or asked for for our wedding day!
Everyone told us one of the most important vendors you pick is your photographer and honestly Jen is everything you need and more when it comes to your special day and she is so dedicated to making that day special about you!
Apart from her amazing communication and really making you feel like you are the only wedding she is doing for the year in terms of her dedication to you, Jen also is a master at capturing your love, story and day in photos to give you memories you can hold on to for forever!
There is just not enough good things to say AND we had a bridal party of 21 with me and my bride, and she was able to keep us focused and running on schedule while also listening and being open to everyone’s ideas for pictures! We definitely had a goofy group and she captured us perfectly! We couldn’t be happier with her and we are so excited to work with her again next year!
Jen did so much for us and she did so much to make our day special and we could not ever thank her enough for it! She was also great with pivoting when we had some last minute changes! We just honestly could not say enough!

I can’t even begin to express just how wonderful Jen and her team truly are. From our initial consult up until today, Jen has been nothing short of amazing to work with. When you picture your wedding, one of the most important parts is making ...
sure you hire a photographer that will capture every perfect moment and that fits what you’re looking for. Let me tell you, Jen will exceed every expectation you could ever dream of! From our engagement pictures and capturing our special pictures with our pups all the way up to our wedding day, I couldn’t be more pleased and ecstatic to have found her. I am so so so beyond blessed to have found her and have the privilege to have her capture our special day. Going through this process during a pandemic was extremely stressful, and having Jen was a true gift. When planning back-up dates, I solely picked them based on her availability because that is how great she truly is and I knew no one would be able to capture my day quite like she could. And she blew every expectation out of the water! She captures every raw emotion, detail, and story in her pictures and I can’t thank her and Rebecca enough for capturing our special day. She is so patient (she had the pleasure of posing me down to my hand 😉), sweet, and truly has a gift. I cannot wait to have her capture our future milestones down the road!

My husband and I loved Jen from the moment we first met with her for a consultation. She is friendly, professional, caring, and very knowledgeable. We did not have to think twice before selecting her as our photographer for our wedding. Due to ...
the COVID pandemic, we had to postpone our wedding to next year, but decided to have a small, intimate ceremony in my parent's backyard this summer as well. Jen agreed to come take photos outdoors on a very hot day, and without much notice. We were thrilled that she could be there. She is simply lovely to work with. We received our photos yesterday, and they are absolutely amazing. Jen's ability to capture the wide range of emotions from everyone that was present at our small ceremony was wonderful. All I could do was smile as I went through the photos. What was truly noteworthy was her ability to capture special moments naturally, without us posing. I cannot wait to have her at our big wedding next year!!

nique vision for their big day and Jennifer captured the essence of that vision perfectly.
We are so incredibly happy that we chose Jen as our photographer for our engagement photos and wedding!! She is incredibly talented behind the lens and is so sweet, kind, and attentive. She is also extremely organized and was so good at instruc...
ting us, our bridal party, and families on how to stand and position to get the most gorgeous photographs I have ever seen. She made my hubby and I feel so relaxed and comfortable at our engagement shoot last December - we had a blast with her and then we’re in awe of the sunrise shots she got of us in Lincoln Park and with the Chicago skyline in the back. We couldn’t wait to see her again this October at the wedding - not just because she is an amazing photographer but because she has such an infectious personality that you just want to be around her! We just got our sneak peak after the wedding and the photographs are absolutely stunning. Jen and her second shooter Rebecca are an incredible team and helped the entire day go by seamlessly. It literally poured all day and they were able to set up portraits under a covered walkway so we could still do portraits outside - you can’t even tell it is raining and you can still see the beautiful fall foliage. The shots are perfect. Then at the venue we got some amazing artsy backlit umbrella shots in the rain that are our favorites - she has an incredible eye! We cannot day enough good things about Jen! Thank you so much for helping make our wedding day so memorable and joyful!!
Response from the Vendor on 11/03/2019
Thank you so much Rachel! I am incredibly blessed to have been apart of our magical day! You were an absolutely beautiful bride. Thank you for these kind words!
Jen
Rebecca is amazing! She shot our engagement photos and made us feel extremely comfortable. My Fiancé and I are not used to showing a lot of PDA but Rebecca made the process feel so real. Not only that but she also made the experience super fun....
It honestly felt more like we were on a really cool date than a photo shoot and we could not be more thankful. As for the pictures, they turned out beautiful! We cannot wait until Jhyde captures our special day!!

My husband and I did not present Jennifer with an easy task at the start of wedding season this past year. We live in Florida and were planning for our wedding to take place in Illinois. That being said most of our vendor shopping was done onli...
ne. Jennifer had me sold on her and her business from the start. Her website not only was easy to maneuver, it provided all the information needed when searching for vendors. When I reached out to Jennifer and explained our situation, she was more than happy to setup a skype call that would allow us to get to know her, ask any questions, and get our planning started. Throughout the planning process Jennifer was always prompt on response, provided helpful tips along the way, and was more than happy to work with our crazy travel schedules. Jennifer’s true dedication was displayed when she traveled down to Florida to shoot my Husband and I’s engagement photos.
On the day of the wedding Jennifer was amazing. She helped keep our timeline, captured every moment of our special day, and was truly an amazing person to work with. We could not be happier with the final products. Jennifer has a true talent for capturing the special moments and we are so happy we are able to relive our wedding day through her photographs.

Rebecca and Jen went hand in hand because once we got our big group shots, Rebecca went off to the side and got nice family shots of both mine and my husbands extended family which they all loved And appreciated!! We got our sneak peaks before we went to bed on our wedding night and were so in love with them already! Jen I truly can’t thank you enough for all you did for me and my husband on Our wedding day! Our bridal party had so much fun with you and Rebecca and they all even said that it was relaxing and you guys made it fun to take pictures which coming from boys says a lot! I wouldn’t nor couldn’t think of anyone else being our photographers except for Jen and Rebecca!!! Thanks for making our day so beyond special!!❤️

There are barely any words to describe how amazing Jennifer is! Honestly, she will go above and beyond to get you your perfect pictures! She hiked, got in cold water and almost kind of fell off of a little waterfall to get us our perfect shots ...
and she succeeded in making our engagement photos perfect! Everything was so comfortable with her too! Nothing felt awkward and she really captured mine and my fiancé’s unique love and goofiness in our photos! I can’t stop staring at them since she sent them and I especially can’t wait for our wedding pictures now!
There are not enough words to explain how absolutely incredible she is!

ent pictures taken last week and it was an amazing time, we had to cut it short because of rain. Jen being as amazing as she is offered to give us another short session one day to finish up our shoot, I don't know about others but she goes above and beyond to make sure we are happy with not only our big day but everything leading up to that day. I wouldn't have anyone else helping capture our engagement or wedding day! Jen makes everything so easy going, we had a wonderful engagement shoot neither of us felt we were going to be overly photogenic but the pictures turned out beautiful.

ala & Lightning on your big day! We are officially less than a year away! Thank you so so much!
From the begining Jen was tremendous. having great wedding photographs was the "must have" for my October wedding - so much that I booked her 2 years in advance.
We had our initial meeting with her - to make sure we would all have the same fee...
l and that she would be a good fit for us. As soon as my husband and I walked into her studio, I felt like I was visiting a friend - her space is so welcoming! we spent maybe half an hour going over questions about the wedding and learning about one another, and the next half hour just talking about anything.
When we had our engagement photos done a year later, Jen was so much fun to work with - her bubbly personality was greatly welcomed and made everything so much easier. She has great ways of getting you to feel comfortable and in the moment.
The week of the wedding, Jen was super helpful, making herself available for whatever I may need. I luckily had everything ready to go, but I guarantee that if I would have asked for a coffee, she would have found time to get one for me.
The day of the wedding I was all over the place, making sure everything was going smoothly and correctly - Jen was always right beside me, reminding me that we had time to spare, and everything was fine. The ceremony turned out to be beautiful. When it came time for the reception, I was able to dance it out with her - she definitely had fun, while still being able to work with her assistant, Rebecca.
Jen and Rebecca are both amazing photographers and even better photographers. I will be using them for every big moment in my life.
much love to you both,
Mr. and Mrs. Burke

Thank you so much! I am so happy to be able to do what I love every day! I hope your wedding pictures always bring you joy and happiness whenever you look at them. I am honored to have been able to capture your love that day!
We met Jen, we had a little over a year before our wedding and she was awesome and rock solid all the way through! She was willing to work with us on pricing by modifying her packages to better fit what we were looking for. Our engagement pho...
to session was truly amazing and one-of-a-kind on a cold, snowy winter day which wasn't 100% planned but Jen, again, worked with us because we wanted to have snow in our photos and was extremely accommodating. The quality of her photos are impressive too.
Fast forward to our wedding day and Jen did not disappoint one bit. She had Rebecca with her as her second photographer and the two of them were on the ball then entire day! They thought quickly to come up with a new plan when it started raining and we were supposed to do our first-look outside at a nearby park. They held up my dress at times so it wouldn't get wet on the pavement, they helped direct people so we didn't have to, Jen even helped me answer questions my family was asking me that I didn't know the answer to! Jen and Rebecca made sure we were laughing and calm throughout the night.
Jen & her team CARE about their clients and it shows in every way. Their charismatic personalities help make their photos amazing and shine! If you want amazing photos and an even more amazing photographer, Jen is your person!! I cannot recommend her enough!!

wedding went super smoothly for us because of how great Jen worked with all of our other vendors. Neither I or my hubby "enjoy" getting our pictures taken but Jen made both our engagement session and our wedding day so much fun and we both felt so comfortable! I couldn't recommend Jen and her company more! After meeting Jen you will honestly feel like you have known her your whole life - I feel like not only did I get the best engagement and wedding pictures ever but I also gained a sister!

Jen is extremely professional and had a great understanding of the entire day’s schedule. She was patient when the bride needed time to relax and knew exactly how long each shot would take.

Highly recommend using JHyde Photography for ANY event!

he end, never skipping a beat. She played bartender for our head table during dinner, she bustled my dress when I had a meltdown from carrying my train all day, and she saved me from a wardrobe malfunction reassuring me no one ever saw.

I just wanted to say thank you to the BOTH of you for everything you have done for Jade and I to capture our journey up until yesterday.
Jen, thank you for doing our engagement pictures. Your personality alone brings so much co...
mfort and joy to your sessions and you truly make it feel like you love every one of us. You really take time to get to know us and who we are as a couple. I’m so glad that we shared memories with you, even if it wasn’t for our wedding. Thank you so much for giving us Rebecca for our day. Everything you said about her was completely accurate and then some. You went above and beyond to accommodate us (budget wise) and make sure that we had the great photography we wanted so badly. We will forever be thankful.
Rebecca, thank YOU so much for being there for us in our wedding day and capturing every moment of it...Even if our family and bridal party was completely belligerent and unorganized haha. Your guidance and direction made everything flow so much easier and nicer — well as much as it could possibly be dealing with our bunch! This was my first time meeting you and your presence was just completely comforting and felt..normal? I’m not sure if that’s the right word. I felt very comfortable with you and for me being such an anxious person, it was a really great feeling. You are extremely talented and we are excited beyond words to see our pictures. From the couple you showed me on the camera, I already know they’re going to be beautiful. Jade is already bawling at the polaroid pictures we all took ourselves, so I can’t wait to relive those moments again, through your pictures.
In conclusion, you guys both rock and I will always be grateful for you guys giving us something to cherish forever. I can’t wait to do family pictures in the near future ;) and to just have you guys capture every moment and milestone in our lives 💖 were so so glad we came across you guys and I would without even question, recommend anyone and everyone to you guys!

te April. Chicagoland being Chicagoland, winter decided it wasn’t done yet and dropped a heavy winter storm on our day. Jen really helped me take this all in stride and we were able to capture some really beautiful outdoor shots in the snow. She works so hard during the cocktail hour and reception to capture all of the guests. She did this at my reception while being super chilly (reception was in a tent and it was cold). Most importantly, she made me and my husband feel comfortable and LAUGH. I haven’t even seen any of the finished pictures just yet, but I’m so confident they will be great that I’m writing my review now. She was great to work with from the very start.
Jen was an easy "yes" for my husband and I.

years. She made us feel comfortable, there was no awkwardness. She knew the right angles and lighting to use. She had numerous ideas for us and was more than happy to let us speak/use our own ideas. I highly recommend her services and cannot wait to use her again!

It was such a wonderful & beautiful experience photographing you wedding portraits! Even though we had this stormy- could downpour at any time kinda of day -- it made for some of the most powerful pictures I feel I have ever taken... I love th...
at you took a chance on that day- and on me!

Cant wait you see you guys in the future as well!!! Thanks for the love!
Jennifer shot our wedding in May of this years and was the most amazing photographer I’ve ever worked with EVER. She was helpful and attentive and was super fun and sweet the entire day even though it was like 95 + degrees all day. And the pic...
tures she’s took, are so beyond perfect I can’t stop staring at them and THEY’RE JUST FROM THE SNEAK PEAK. She’s amazingly reasonable with her prices and made herself available to us whenever we had questions or anything. She’s probably my new best friend lol. I would give her 1000 stars if I could!!

I'm SO glad you feel the same way!!! You jumped into my heart the first time we met & I loved getting to know you & Joe- you're so perfect together & it shows every time you two are near one another-- it was magnetic & my camera and I loved it!...
!! Thank you for choosing me & for the great friendship we have made!!! Crazy Thankful for you two!
Jen shot our wedding in May and we could not be more thrilled with the planning process, day of magic, and, most importantly, the results! She was always on top of things leading up to the big day and her packages were customizable so we got e...
xactly what we wanted (unlimited time was a big seller - you don't want to be limited to 8, 10, whatever hours on your day!). She and her assistant were incredible to have with us throughout the wedding day, keeping us on schedule, efficiently telling wedding party and family members where to go and when, and overall being the calm sidekicks we didn't even know we needed. And we are just blown away by our photos - we got an awesome variety of beautiful posed shots, fun candids, and detail shots, all perfectly edited. We get so many compliments on the photos whenever we share them. We highly recommend Jen as a wedding photographer - and what's even better is she does non-wedding photography as well, so we can't wait to use her in the future for family photos! Bonus!

nds you!!
Jennifer is a fun, loving, and outgoing photographer. We clicked with her the first day we met her and I knew I wanted her as our wedding photographer. She stepped us through the entire process, her packages, and even had options for an additio...
nal photographer. She made us gorgeous “Save the Dates” and “Thank You” cards which were included in the package we chose and she even made the design ideas I was imagining come to life! She kept us calm throughout our engagement shoot and the pictures turned out beautiful and natural! Not only did she capture our engagement shoot, we had our rehearsal dinner photographed as well. We had a chance to really get to know Jennifer throughout the process, which made the day of the wedding a breeze! I loved how she would bring up funny moments from our previous shoots to keep us having a blast and laughing. She knew how long we needed to be at each place and had us on a great schedule for the day. With Jhyde Photography, you get the whole package and more! :)
Thank you Jen!

JHyde Photography was simply amazing for my wedding! Jen was so sweet and personable! She seamlessly worked with myself, my groomsmen, family members, and even the small children in our party! I can not express the amount of talent Jen has as a...
n artist! She sent over a couple of "sneak peeks" of our photos and I literally cried at how beautiful they were! Phrase to Jen in her availability, her thoroughness, her timing, and the passion she has in her work!
