If you're nervous about planning a photoshoot 4000 miles away look no further. I have only been to the island once before so I didn't have any idea on a good location to propose. A...
fter requesting more information on a specific location she went above and beyond to ensure I had the perfect moment. I can't recommend her enough as she gave outstanding customer service and even worked with me when my flights were delayed due to the government shutdown. She responded almost instantly through emails and made sure that the photos came out the way I wanted. If you're looking for a quality photoshoot with someone you can trust this is by far the best option.

Jennifer Werneth did our Photos in the most amazing spot (we would have NEVER found it!) on in Honolulu. They were the perfect bend of making us all look wonderful and showcasing ...

We used Jennifer for our first ever family portraits after doing an extensive search online. We wanted a photographer with a certain style and one who was also within our budget. ...
Jennifer exceeded our expectations on both. She sent many images back to us (in a MORE than reasonable amount of time, given how many photos she had to work with) and we were so pleased with what she created. Not only were the pictures beautiful and tastefully edited, the session was very comfortable. She made it all easy, even ending the shoot in a rain shower.
She is quick with communication, flexible with ideas, and really wanted to give us the feel we hoped for.
We asked her shoot our wedding, one of the most important days of our lives...but she is booked already. We are bummed, but not at all surprised. I highly recommend Jennifer Werneth, and we look forward to future sessions with her.

I was so impressed with our engagement pictures and didn't think it could get any better... Until the wedding. The photos we have are amazing (I can't stop looking at them)! I highly recommend Jenn for your big day or any other occasion.

Chris and I absolutely love our wedding portraits! We are so glad we chose Jennifer Werneth to photograph our special day. It was so easy to work with Jenn and her husband. They...
were extremely flexible and willing to accommodate any special requests or last minute changes. We had so much fun during the photo shoot and we relive those moments each time we look at the photos. Because Jenn and her husband photographing the event concurrently, the variety of photos we received was just incredible. It was like watching a video as we look through the photos. We highly recommend Jennifer Werneth Photography without reservation. We look forward to working with them again to commemorate other milestones in our life together.

I did not meet Jennifer until the day of my wedding, since I was working on a cruise ship and was only going to get off the ship to get married, and then had to come back to ship. ...
She always answered my e-mails and my phone calls. I felt confident that she was going to be there on time and that she was going to do a great job, and she did. Our pictures made it safe and sound to my husband's country, Chile. We were very happy to receive and see the pictures. They are amazing! Really beautiful. It is completely worth it to have good quality pictures for such a special day even if the ceremony is small and simple, like mine. Thank you very much. Dyane and Javier. Santiago, Chile.

hey made us feel very comfortable when taking the pictures. The quality of the photos is wonderful as the colors are so vibrant! The editing of the photos obviously takes a few weeks, but Jennifer was nice enough to send a couple pictures to my e-mail a bit earlier so I could use them at our reception. :-)

O.K. so i have to say trying to find a photographer from more than 2000 miles away was not easy, at least when you take in all the calls I made. Then by luck I came upon Jennifer W...
erneth photography and honestly all I can say is Jennifer and her husband are AMAZING. I have to say she made EVERYTHING easy and after being in the military for years I sure like not having to make decisions about everything sometimes (and then worry). Jennifer makes things SIMPLE, COST-EFFECTIVE, and with a QUALITY that is hard to match. If you are reading this please heed my advise STOP give her a call and talk to Jennifer. You will not be disappointed. The easiest thing I have had to plan, help or whatever PERIOD. I truly wish I had more ways to reach out to tell people how great their services were. Our wedding was a beach wedding and they did a fantastic job. Thanks so much!

I can’t say enough great things about Jennifer Werneth’s wedding photography. My husband and I are not photogenic people so we booked 4 hours of photography on our wedding day to ...
make sure we got a few good shots. As it turns out, every photo was amazing! We had our wedding photo session in the Disney Boardwalk area. Jennifer knew the best photo spots and captured our day perfectly. Jennifer and her husband gave us a photo session that was relaxed, fun, and more than we could ever have hoped for - We had a blast twirling down the Boardwalk, jumping off of benches, and stealing kisses as we walked. For the ceremony, both she and her husband were snapping photos and captured every moment beautifully. She also did an outstanding job editing each and every photo! We love all of the various light techniques she used to make each photo perfectly unique and perfectly gorgeous. The photos take my breath away.

I absolutely love Jennifer. We had our engagement photos done with her as part of the package and they came out absolutely beautiful. I felt like she was on the same page I was and...
helped me with the visions that I had for my wedding. On the day of the wedding, we only had 1 hour of daylight after the ceremony and she was very careful to make sure we got all of the shots that we needed. She was very organized and spent time with me to talk about what I was expecting. I highly recommend her to any bride and I can't wait to see the actual wedding photos!!!

Jenn is simply the sweetest person you'd ever want to meet. On top of that, she's professional and focused. We had our engagement photos taken at Epcot, and in one hour, we managed...
to hit four of the countries, and take a ton of photos in each one! [I had found her when I was doing a search for Epcot engagement pics, and hers were exactly what I wanted.] At the end of the one hour, we were actually sad to say goodbye to her & her husband Glenn! It was a truly enjoyable experience.
When we got the photos back, they were BEAUTIFUL and just what I wanted. Jenn made sure to keep us in the loop about when our proofs would be ready, and when we could expect our full CD.
We've gotten TONS of compliments on how beautiful and unique our photos are. I can't wait to hang one on our wall and have someone say, "What a beautiful piece of art-- WAIT, that's you!"
Thanks for everything, Jenn! :)

Jennifer and Glenn are not only an incredible team, but an absolute pleasure to work with! Out of all of our vendors, they were the most warm and most accomodating. We did not have...
any wedding party or a lot of family shots to take, or any experience taking professional photos either. We had a couple other snags to deal with, like my husband's tuexedo that was too big and Jennifer and Glen made us feel SO comfortable and relaxed, all while working around everything effortlessly. Jennifer sent us a sneak peak within days of our wedding and I can already see the photos are going to be gorgeous. If anyone is looking for a photographer for any occassion, Jennifer and Glen are a must to hire!

My husband and I wanted wedding photos that were more stunning than the simple old fashioned photos. We chose Jennifer because we loved what we saw on her website. Jennifer and ...
her busband were so wonderful! They made our photo sessions so much fun that just the memories of taking our engagement and wedding photos were a wonderful part of our experience. They were a very special team, and were are so happy that they were a part of our special day. We are still waiting for our wedding photos, but our engagement photos are amazing! Everyone has told me that they are the most beautiful photos they have ever seen. Jenn captured so much emotion, scenery, and beauty in every photo. I cannot say enough about how wondrful Jennifer and Glen are!

I can't speak highly enought about Jennifer and her husband's work. They shot our engagement photos and our wedding and I've never been so happy in my life with the pictures they ...
took. She has a unique eye and catches the most beautiful shots...from getting ready, to the "I Do", and the last dance of the night. I want to order ALL the pictures she gave me but I don't have enough room in my house to showcase all of them ; ) I had a very large wedding party and she worked great with all the different personalities. She captured everything and more than I expected. I would recommend her to EVERYONE :)

A friend once told me to pick four important things that you want for your wedding and not to overstress about the rest. A great photographer can see something wonderful out of wha...
t the rest of us glaze over. I knew that Jennifer was the photographer for me when the amazing colors in her pictures made me do a double take. Other photographers that I researched would sell you prints, but not give you full rights. With everything being digital today, I think that illogical. Jennifer sent me CD's of all of my enhanced pictures for both my engagement shoot and wedding to do what I pleased. That fact alone was huge for me. Her relaxed professional manner was a huge relief, I knew that she would take care of everything. During the wedding, she and her husband were everywhere taking phenomenal pictures so I could remember my night, since it was all a blur to me!

Jennifer and her husband, Glen, were fantastic! The price for the packages was way better than anything else I found in Orlando for the quality work that they do. We got an engage...
ment session included and got to know them, and they got to know our personalities & style before the wedding. I loved working with them, and they were not obtrusive at all during the actual ceremony and reception. Everything was so smooth and the photos are GORGEOUS! Everyone asked at the wedding who did our engagement photos, and now that they've gone on Facebook, everyone says they're the best engagement/wedding photos they've ever seen. I have to agree. :)

Jennifer was our photographer and we just love her! She did our engagement pictures at EPCOT and everyone has been raving about them. She shot our wedding and we haven't even seen ...

We had a two day wedding in Miami and Orlando, Jennifer drove down to Miami also and was more than accomodating. My husband and I aren't too into getting our pictures taken but she...
made us feel SO comfortable and the pictures look natural and REAL. She is very creative and I am SO happy with the way my photo's turned out. She does a lot of out of town work and has a small flat rate travel fee so I would even consider her for a destination wedding!
