Jenny Smith & Co.

mention any of these things and I was a little worried, but they got all the shots that I was looking for. Jenny is so easy going as a photographer. She was so easy to get along with. My husband and I had our engagement shoot in Joshua Tree with Jenny as the main photographer and Melanie as the second photographer. They both made it so easy to take photos and they take candid photos that come out great. They put into thought about everything in their surroundings when it comes to the picture. We had fun at our engagement session. Our wedding day is here and it was very easy to get things rolling as they knew exactly what to do and what to take pictures of. They already have asked us a list about what photos we would want and I thought this meant for family photos only so I just gave them a list of what photos we want with family members which they had on hand so when it was time to do photos it was easy to gather people. My tip to other brides is remember if you want pictures of you and your spouse in the detail shots remember to put those in as well. I got some but not all as I did not think about this before hand. Even with that said, I am still VERY VERY HAPPY with our photos from the engagement and wedding sessions. I couldn't have asked for better photographers because this was my hardest vendor to pick when it came to photography. This is the one vendor that will last from your wedding as this is what you want to spend your money in to cherish these moments, but also not break your bank account. They are affordable and I was referred to them by my wedding planner and it was the best referral ever! When it comes to choosing a photographer, I am no expert and what style I want. I see a picture and if I think its nice, it's nice. I had to ask my friend who is a photographer (not for weddings) but know what she is doing and talking about. Out of the 10-15 photographers I sent her, she said Jenny was the best out of all of them. Now mind you this ranged from affordable pricing to extravagant pricing. My friend knows how to edit as well and she said Jenny's was the best. I trusted my friends opinion as we have been friends since junior high school and she was at the wedding! Everyone that I have shown our pictures to has said that our photos are astonishing! I am so happy to have chosen you Jenny and Melanie! Thank you for all your hard work, efficiency, responsiveness, and keeping with the timeline. Chris and I are truly blessed to have these photos forever!

s weddings, and I so appreciated all of the tips and advice Jenny gave me before the big day- it made me much less nervous leading up to it. The level of comfortability and familiarity that Jenny and Faith provided surpassed my already high expectations, and was talked about extremely positively by many in the wedding party. Best of all, she got our GORGEOUS sneak peek pictures to us 3 days after the wedding. We can’t wait to see the rest!! 11/10 would recommend again.

ooklet with many tips that came in handy on wedding day such as purchase of clear golf umbrellas. Jenny and assistant were everywhere, constantly moving to capture the moment at different angles. I was worried that we may have to reshoot pictures on a sunny day which Jenny offered free of charge however, after seeing the sneak peak the lighting and misting could not have made for more ROMANTIC photos. It was truly a pleasure having Jenny as our photographer. I cannot wait to see all our pictures and order our wedding book.

l them selves the photos or GIFs to their emails. We loved how their props are different from your typical photo booth and so did our guests! They had all of our photos posted to their Facebook within just a few days after the wedding, so it was great being able to have some photos back so quickly! Their photo booth attendants are fun and we will definitely be keeping them in mind for future events!

ttendance felt. That feeling was very precious to me and Jenny and her team were able to capture it's essence for us! My husband is very picky with photos, we wanted someone to take risks and have fun. We wanted a photographer to capture our moments as they occur, naturally, not a series of staged photos that are unnatural and look awkward when viewing them. We researched many photographers but, when we looked at Jenny’s work we immediately knew we she was the one. Her team was so kind, talented, artistic, spontaneous and knowledgeable. They took special care to take pictures of all the details that I missed and forgot to ask on my special day. I remembered I was busy getting ready and I saw Jenny picking up my shoes to take pictures of them outside. If you are serious about having a perfect team and peerless photos, I highly recommend jennysmith & co. Thank you Jenny for being so amazing! Mahnaz and Nima

ew I needed to contact them. I went for a consultation and they gave me the low down on everything! I met a few members of the team, and they were so great! In the beginning, I was blindly starting wedding planning, and they helped me with other vendor referrals to get me started. I used every one of their recommendations for other vendors because I trusted them right away. My pictures came out better than I could have imagined!! Melanie and Jenna are amazing!! Not only were they FUN when shooting with them, but they have an eye for amazing shots. They caught some very raw emotion in my pictures which are PRICELESS!!!! They also take pictures of all the little details you may have missed in the busy night such as the guest book, what the flowers looked like, and so so much more! I highly recommend this team, they know what their doing, and it's clear they all have a passion for it too. Thank you Jenny, Melanie, and Jenna, you all rock!!!

all the pictures turned out!

hoto gallery which makes viewing, downloading, sharing, and printing our photos a seamless process. We’ve recommended Jenny and her team to all our friends and family. They were flawless!

re great at letting us know exact timelines as to when we could expect them - which is perfect!). From when we first met with Mel and did our Engagement shoot with her, we knew we were amongst friends - Mel literally shared a sweat towel with us because it was so freakin hot in LA when we had our shoot. And also the photos turned out amazing and shockingly you couldn't tell how hot it was (thankfully!) thanks to their masterful work! Jenny and Mel are so positive and laid back. They helped continue the calmness throughout all of our wedding events and I highly highly recommend them as photographers, but also as awesome people that will add to your special day much more beyond the photos (although their photos are amazing and the sneak peek we received already shows no doubt our photos are going to be great!). THANK YOU Jenny + Mel - you both rock and I hope to see you at future weddings and events in the future!

Out of all the vendors, we wanted THE BEST photographer to convey our wedding. My husband was definitely wary about choosing a photographer due to how camera shy I am. We also booked an engagement session and after meeting Jenny, we felt like she was a friend looking after us! She is so incredibly personable! My wedding guests and bridal party loved her and Melanie. Everybody felt so comfortable and natural. The images we received are INCREDIBLE. I continuously recommend her to everyone I know. Thanks again!

gement shoot with Melanie 8 months before the wedding to get to know her and feel comfortable in front of the camera. Due to inclement weather we actually had to reschedule the engagement shoot and Melanie and Jenny were great about working with us to find a new date and venue. We highly recommend doing an engagement shoot! Melanie always made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and she got great shots of us and our wedding party. Jenny Smith and Co are all incredibly professional and great to work with at a very reasonable price compared to other photographers we saw.

ro phone call, Jenny shared a few more photos with us to give us a better idea of what to expect, and from there we didn't need to think twice--we booked her right away! Working with Jenny the day of the wedding was amazing. She was so easy to work with and you could tell she's had a lot of experience working at weddings (especially getting all the family members in the right place at the right time!). Also, I am an individual that can feel awkward and tense up when I know people are taking pictures of me. Jenny was GREAT with giving direction and having us change poses. She knows all the cute angles and makes you look like you know what you're doing! We couldn't be happier with the final product and would definitely recommend Jenny anyone who asks.

ly flawless. I knew I had to have her at my own wedding. When it came time for our engagement shoot, she drove out to Ojai to scope out the area and she even helped me with outfit choices and gave me some suggestions. The engagement photos are so beautiful and her talent for photography really shined in them. Fast forward to our wedding. She brought Melanie who was just as fun and sweet and easy to work with as Jenny. I felt so comfortable in front of the camera with her. She doesn't stage you, rather guides you so it still feels natural. My fiancé and I are solo excited to see the rest of our wedding pictures in a few weeks. She gives you a sneak peek a week after the wedding and we absolutely LOVED what we've seen already. We are so happy with the choice we made of having Jenny as our wedding photographer <3

on our wedding day so at no point did I ever feel rushed or like things were hectic. I would definitely work with Jenny and her team again if given the opportunity, and I would highly recommend them.

mention total pleasures to be around.) I love their work so much and am completely floored by their ability to capture weddings in such raw, unique and throughout ways. They also helped us throughout our planning process to answers various wedding related questions, ease our minds, find other incredible vendors, and make sure our wedding day timeline was picture perfect. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you Jenny and team for giving us perfect photos to cherish for a lifetime.

or in a photographer. We were so comfortable working with her that we also asked for other vendor recommendations and we ended up picking a half dozen other vendors and they were all great as well. We worked with Jenny on our engagement photo, day of photos, and photo booth. My wife and I know we're not models, but she made us feel like Tom & Gisele during all the shoots. Melanie was also there during our wedding day and she's an All-star. The photo booth was also a huge hit and Amsi was awesome. The package we chose was everything we wanted and worth every penny. Make the easy choice and just go with Jenny!

what you hoped and more! Melanie and one other photographer did our wedding photos, as Jenny had another wedding the evening of ours, and we couldn't be happier with the results. The ladies were so warm and comfortable to have around, and the photos look incredible! The colors, the framing, and the fact that that they captured so many of our guests and so many moments we weren't able to catch in person. Now the trouble is deciding which of the many great photos to frame :) We're so beyond pleased at the quality and the absolutely pleasure of having this team as our photographers! We also got their new photo booth, which was a HUGE hit with our guests and made for some seriously fun Facebook photo sharing at and after our wedding!

eel comfortable and it was a very stress-free process. Jenny and Melanie paid attention to details, even helped me with my bustle and length of my dress! We are very happy with our experience with Alders Photography and most importantly love our pictures.

ny and Jordan made getting ready fun; we even had a good time during the obligatory family photos. Jenny made sure that our couples shots never felt stagey or forced. She truly understood that if we were comfortable and in-the-moment, our photos would turn out beautifully. Jenny did an excellent job of utilizing our surroundings and creating the perfect inspiration. Jenny encouraged us to be ourselves and perfectly captured the intimacy and fun of our special day.

os and the bride and groom popping up on Pinterest, Facebook etc. I loved Melanie's creativeness with photos, they were never cheesy and she always made my husband and I feel comfortable in front of the camera (which is an odd feeling initially). She was personable, funny and very calm the day of my wedding. She and her assistant Ali (perhaps I spelled that wrong, sorry!) were really sweet and kind and definitely helped take my mind off some of my anxiousness. They were really sly around the ceremony and reception and caught a lot of shots I was surprised to see. They captured nearly everything I needed and were all very professional in all correspondences. I appreciate Jenny and Melanie's attentiveness to emails and their suggestions for venues (for the wedding itself as well as the engagement shoot) Part of my photo package was a guest book and it is so beautiful. It has a leather cover (you can chose from other materials and many colors) and has our name and wedding date etched into it. It's really beautifully done. I really, really recommend Alders Photography. They are a well established, professional and all around great vendor who perfectly captured my wedding day.

ore. She made us feel comfortable and talked us through the entire thing. When we got our pictures back (sneak peak within a week of the shoot, the rest just a few weeks after that!!) we were amazed! We couldn't believe it was really us in the photos. The way she uses natural light just made for stunning pictures. We are having such a hard time picking out which ones to put up in the house! We can't wait to find another reason to book with Alders again. Thanks ladies!!

y explained their style and different options. We ended up selecting the package with Melanie as our lead photographer and were incredibly pleased with our choice. Melanie was a joy to work with. She made us very comfortable at our UCLA engagement shoot, and we genuinely had a fun time despite our original nerves. She really put us at ease and allowed us to be ourselves. Our engagement photos turned out beautifully and the engagement book was a wonderful, memorable guest book for our wedding day. We got so many compliments! Planning the wedding photography with Jenny and Melanie was very easy. We met with Jenny the week before the wedding to hammer out the final details. As always, she was on top of everything which gave us great peace of mind throughout the lead up to the wedding. Not to mention that Jenny’s feedback about the day-of timeline and photos were incredibly helpful and definitely made the day run smoother. Melanie and her assistant photographer were fantastic on the day of the wedding. They worked their butts off and got the mix of details, bride and groom, family, and friend pictures we were looking for. They also did a great job of capturing but not interfering with the wedding, it was amazing to look back at the photos and think “I didn’t even know they were there when that happened!” By the end of the night, we felt like we were friends with Melanie and were so happy to have her at our wedding. Most importantly, the photos were gorgeous and went up quickly. Their online site makes it the pictures easy to share and download for FREE which was truly appreciated by our guests. Thank you Jenny and Melanie!!

can tell that she takes great pride in her work. We are so incredibly happy with our photos - both engagement and wedding. On top of everything, she was incredibly prompt, friendly, and helped me with any questions I had about the wedding planning process.
