Once my wife and I decided we were going to elope - we had no idea how to actually do it or if we could pull it off in the timeline we were hoping to (in less than a month!) We spoke to Jennifer over zoom and she really took the time to ask us questions about what kind of elopement we wanted and explain how her packages worked. Jennifer made a lot of incredible suggestions and helped shape our big day for exactly what we wanted (at the time we didn't even know what we wanted) but now we couldn't have imagined our day any different or without Jenn! She customized our day to what we wanted, location planned and gave us countless suggestions and checklists to help us along the way. The day of - the weather wasn't perfect, but Jenn made us feel so comfortable and took the most gorgeous photos. We're obsessed with them and so glad we have so many memories and pictures to share with our friends and family who weren't there. Jenn truly loves what she does and it shows in her passion for photography and adventure planning. We had our dream day all thanks to Jenn - highly recommend her for anyone considering an elopement or adventure photography session.
What can I say?! PERFECT!!
We are from germany and we we´re looking for someone who could capture images of our elopement in Santa Monica. I´ve contacted Jenn and she was sooo great from the beginning. She answered all our questions via EMail (and I had a lot of questions) and that made us feel really good. When we arrived in Venice, we´ve met her and it felt like meeting a friend. She´s fun and professional at the same time. We´ve talked about our ideas and she was unbelievably motivated and creative. Then we definitely knew, that she was the right choice. On our elopement day she arrived with her colleague Dan. They we´re more than on time, well prepared and they are a really great team! Dan did the filming and Jenn took pictures. I would highly recommend to make a video! To have a video of that day is so precious!
We showed it to our family and friends when we came back from Los Angeles and they we´re amazed. My nephew (6 years old) said: "That doesn´t look real. ", because it was so perfect.
Working with Jenn and Dan was the best thing, that could have happend to us. It was fun, uncomplicated and they had so much energy and they went on a rollercoaster ride with us :) Awesome pictures, awesome video and AWESOME PEOPLE!
Thanks for everything Jenn & Dan!
Jennifer Whalen and her team were so much fun to work with! They were an absolute pleasure to have around on our wedding day. My husband and I are beyond pleased with the engagement photos, wedding video and wedding photos Jenn and her team captured – we could not have asked for anything better! Throughout our wedding day, Jenn was definitely a calming factor for me. She was very easy going, but also very professional and very in control of what she was doing. She has such a great attitude and you can tell she really loves what she does. Her experience and talent is so evident, not only through her art (photos) but also in how well she works under pressures of the wedding day. I can go on and on about how positive my experiences were with Jenn and her team! She is definitely worth every penny and I highly recommend you choose her for your wedding day….you’ll really miss out if you don’t!!
I can't even begin to express my overwhelming appreciation for the work that one of my photographers, Jennifer Whalen, did to master the detail, simplicity, and authentic memory of our wedding day. She captured so many incredible shots and has shared some of them on her blogpost. Not only was she the perfect addition to our photography duo but I loved the way Nick and I officially met her in person which must have been a sign that she was meant to be!
Now that our go-to photographer for all of our family events is leaving the state, I will personally be using her for our future events and stand by her work, professionalism, and eye for capturing the perfect images, HANDS DOWN 100%.
Thank you Jennifer!!! #readysetwed
Jennifer Whalen created a beautiful video of our wedding day. I hadn't originally planned to get a videographer, as I felt that photos would be sufficient to capture the day. I am so happy that I ended up having Jennifer capture my event on film! This short video captures EVERYTHING! Jennifer's artistic eye and skill allowed her to take moments from throughout the day and create a video that captures the emotion, fun, and beauty of our event. I have watched it countless times and shared it with many family and friends. People who were not able to attend the event felt like they had been there when they watched this film. My mom has forwarded me many messages from her friends who have become teary-eyed from watching the video. Like many brides, I worked hard for months prior to our wedding to ensure that the day was perfect only for the time to fly by during the event. I am so grateful for Jennifer, as her video was able to capture all the little details and the true essence of our event. The video allows me to relive all the special moments that I feel like were gone in the blink of an eye. During the wedding, my husband and I were so busy fulfilling our duties as bride and groom and Jennifer never bugged us for any specific shots. She was so great because she was so discrete with her filming and when watching the video I was amazed with all her shots, as I don't even remember her being there to capture them. I highly recommend Jennifer to capture your event.
Jennifer and her partner did an AMAZING job on our wedding video! It was incredible! They were probably one of my favorite vendors from the wedding. They were both very professional, fun, honest, and genuinely nice people. The work that they did was nothing but the highest quality. My dad keeps showing everyone the video. If you were thinking about not having videography (like I was) think again. I promise you will not regret hiring Jennifer. I am so happy we have that video to remind us of what an amazing day it was. It goes by so fast ... capture it with more than a picture, I'm so glad we did!
Thank you again Jennifer!
Jennifer was very easy to work with and took amazing photos of our wedding. Planning with Jennifer was a breeze as she was very professional and responsive to our ideas. She also had a lot of fun and creative ideas that told the story of our wedding very well. Jennifer was able to capture all of the photos that we wanted despite uncooperative weather (intermittent rain). We highly recommend Jennifer!
Jennifer was fantastic! She has a wonderful, upbeat personality, and did a really wonderful job taking our wedding photos!!! She got some truly amazing photo candids, in addition to the great posed shots, that really captured the personalities of our wedding party and guests. And she did this fun group photos project to a song that got us photos with everyone, and they were all laughing and having fun during the process. I am SO glad we found her!
Jennifer is amazing -- we've received countless compliments on our photographs. She's funny, easy to get along with, creative, and very good at what she does. We love her style of 'storytelling' with her photos. I couldn't be happier with the quality, price, and quickness of getting our photos back! I recommend her 100%!
We are so happy with our photography! Jennifer is the best, and all of our guests agreed. Photography is one of the only tangible things from a very expensive day, and it's so nice to reflect on the memories. Jennifer works with you to understand what's important to you, and it's a bonus that she's just so darn talented!
Jennifer had the artistic eye that we were looking for. She captured pictures that we LOVE to look at, and are excited to get on our walls at home. Most people forget that the day is also about the coming together of our family and friends, but Jennifer remembered them and took so many great pictures of our guests too. We enjoyed working with her and love the outcome.
Absolutely loved working with Jennifer from day one.
Makes you feel extremely comfortable every time you work with her.
Picture are gorgeous and really good at capturing the fun candid moments and each and everyones personality.
I heard a lot of very nice things from my guests regarding Jennifer; including a couple people mentioned how unobtrusive she was (a good quality in a photographer that takes candid shots).
Her work is different enough to make it interesting while staying professional and capturing moments as they happen. She's pleasant to work with and helped us feel at ease.
When discussing options and planning the day, Jennifer scheduled our photos, which helped relieve a bit of the anxiety I felt regarding how the day would flow, and we stuck pretty closely to the schedule, except when a few relatives were MIA for a bit.
We got a digital slideshow within 2 weeks of the wedding and are awaiting arrival of the disc.
I'm excited to get our top picks to her for the album.
Our pictures turned out great! We love them all! Jennifer has a great eye for a good shot. Our only complaint was that she didn't take charge on the wedding day as much as we wish she would have. But the quality of the pictures was fantastic! A little spendy but it shows in the quality.
I was very happy with Jennifer Whalen's work. The pictures turned out great. She does amazing outdoor shots. Make sure to take time for photos outdoors, no matter what the season.
Jennifer and Carrie traveled to Rochester for our wedding photography. They were very easy to work with and captured fantastic photos throughout the day and night. Our guests loved being able to go to Jennifer's website to view our photos, they were up the Thursday after the wedding and I had our DVD within a week! I definitely recommend Jennifer if you are still looking for a photographer.
Jennifer captured all the beautiful details and all of the love and emotion of the day. As you can see from her website (jenniferwhalen.com), she takes phenomenal artistic photos, but she is also an expert and putting people at ease and capturing the moments that truly matter. Through Jennifer's photos, I saw the entire story of my day through the eyes of not just me, but also my groom, our wedding party, our family and guests. Jennifer captured details that I never even had a chance to see on my wedding day!
My family also wanted several more traditional family photos (including a very large, challenging-to-organize one) and Jennifer was cheerful and gracious with everyone - and the resulting photos are amazing! On the day of the wedding my family commented on how pleasant and efficient she was, and after they saw the photos, their comment was "She is not just a photographer, she is an artist!"
We chose to have 8 hours of coverage by only Jennifer (she has a fantastic assistant as well). We had also done our engagement shoot with Jennifer, and that certainly helped for both of us to be comfortable and know what to expect. Jennifer provided is with 100% of the digital images from our wedding day (over 700 of them). I started today to go through the 703 images she took - after the first pass of picking out the "best of the best" I am down to just 691! She honestly is THAT amazing.
Jennifer was professional and very responsive to all of my requests. She is down-to-earth and makes everyone around her feel comfortable - this is priceless on what can be a very stressful day. It makes our photos just exude with relaxed happiness!
