The Tenneys

they're super experienced! I knew we could trust them with our special day and that they'd capture every important moment--and they did. We've received so many compliments on our beautiful photos. They also go above and beyond: For example, when I started getting sunburned during photos, Anna went and found me sunscreen. Cannot recommend them enough--our friends and family said multiple times how impressed they were with Jake and Anna. Overall, stunning photos and so easy to work with. Thank you, Jake and Anna!

mmodating at every step of the process. Not to mention, they are incredibly kind people - we always felt so valued as clients and could see how much they truly cared about us and our wedding day. On our wedding day, they helped us balance getting all of the photos we wanted, while making sure we maximized our time celebrating together and with our guests. Jake and Anna were incredibly perceptive and attentive to us, our families, and friends throughout the entire wedding day, and they effortlessly kept our day on schedule while simultaneously helping organic, special moments unfold naturally. We don't take for granted how important this was to making our day feel so perfect, we are very grateful! Of course, you just have to look at Sweetlife's portfolio to see the absolutely gorgeous, high quality film and digital photography they create. Our beautiful wedding photos and engagement photos are just what we envisioned - we're so thrilled with how everything turned out. We just love our wedding gallery, which perfectly captured all of the emotions, love, and fun that made our wedding day magical. We truly can't thank Jake and Anna enough for everything!

nd out in the world of fine art photography. Even before booking Sweetlife Photograpy, we were able to meet each other via Zoom to ask questions and they were the perfect fit for us from the start. We recommend their services to anyone seeking to capture the moment, creating memories, and taking quality fine art photos. Jake was excellent behind the lens of the camera, directing poses and people, but also a true professional. He arrived on time and maintained a friendly, approachable demeanor. He planned the perfect time of day for us to go to a local spot to shoot some candid shots outside on our special reception day. He listened to our ideas and incorporated them seamlessly into the shoot. He was also adaptable to situations that arose since both our families are so big, being patient with everyone was much appreciated. Jake and Anna were very helpful in organizing how to utilize their talents when photographing our reception.

fulness, and professionalism that they would bring to every interaction going forward. On the day of our wedding Jake and Anna brought a peaceful and comforting energy, which was much needed on such a highly anticipated day. The quality of each photo is impressive, I think our favorite photo is every single one! We couldn't be happier with how our photos turned out. The entire process was organized and seamless, we enjoyed working with Jake and Anna and highly recommend them.

ok and bridal party photos. It felt like Sweetlife really took the care and time to capture our big day perfectly!

duling, and detail-oriented attitude is what sets them apart from other photographers - a HUGE value-add.

re wedding day. Their photos really tell the story of our wedding day. We are so obsessed with all of our photos & feel so lucky to have worked with both Jake & Anna.

troduction because of their diligence leading up. They took a lot of care in getting our timeline nailed down, providing their expertise on how to day usually flows, and getting to know us and the experience we wanted for our special day. Separately, their platforms and systems were SUPER easy to navigate and you can tell they really thought about the user experience when designing them. They made us feel like we could truly focus on our day and getting to spend time with our loved ones while also capturing such stunning images to look back on. They were professional and divided and conquered flawlessly throughout the evening. Not only did they execute day of, but they also had so many great insights into other vendors they had worked with in the past since they are so experienced and well known in their field. They never made us feel like we were asking too many questions and they were so patient helping us navigate this first time experience! Although their cost was higher than we budgeted for, it was worth the outcome and photos we got afterwards as well as how they navigated the day and communicated leading up to it. I couldn't recommend them enough if you are looking for an experienced team, with a wealth of knowledge, and beautifully light and warm photos that capture the candor and authenticity from the happiest day of our lives. Thank you, Sweetlife for making our memories from the day so special and sweet <3

instrumental behind the scenes. Sweetlife has thought about every detail in their timeline template and we felt like they left no stone unturned.

to getting our wedding photos. They were able to talk through the day and schedule everything from the morning to evening which made it so easy. They worked with the venue and made sure everything would go smoothly. They made the planning and the actual wedding day extremely stress free. They were so friendly, sweet, and attentive. I loved all their shots and their attention to detail. Very easy to work with and we would choose them 100x over!

and beyond. I was a 2020 out-of-town bride which made for many unfortunate complications. I was unable to visit the venue before the wedding, so Anna helped me with the planning and organization of the space. I could not have pulled it off without her; her advice and expertise were invaluable. They lead the creation of the coordination timeline as well, which was extremely helpful in the planning stage. I had booked with Sweetlife prior to the lockdowns, and they were so accommodating of us pushing our wedding date not once, but twice. They met with me several times as the vision of our wedding changed over the two years and I am extremely grateful for their patience and flexibility. And the photos - the photos are AMAZING! We will cherish them for our lifetime. Jake and Anna have a magic touch and are able to capture the emotion and feeling of the day in a wonderful way. They were so fantastic to work with and made every aspect of the process so smooth and easy. They have such a calm and easygoing presence which helped us enjoy our wedding day without the chaos. We are eternally grateful to have had the privilege of them photographing our wedding.

Coast forcing multiple reschedules. Leading up to the wedding they helped us plan out every important shot for the big day and made sure everyone was coordinated and on track. Jake and Anna are true professionals and know how to make a wedding day run smoothly and on-time. The photos we got back were so incredible and we are so thankful for Jake and Anna's hard work. 10/10 recommend Sweetlife Photography to any couples planning their dream wedding. Thank you Jake and Anna!

lled to see how they'd photograph our wedding. In the months leading up to the big day, it was always easy to get in touch with them and their tips/planning direction was invaluable. We recommend booking your engagement photos through them too, as it was a preview of how they'd direct and capture the wedding. Fast forward to the wedding and their photos exceeded any expectations we had. Not only that, but their calm, professional presence on the day of is the exact energy you want around. I am not a natural in front of the camera, and Jake and Anna make you feel at ease–something our families noted too. If you want to start your wedding planning with a win, book these two. You are in the best of hands. Their art is timeless, and we will always cherish these photos.

day with. Jake and Anna were the best people we could have chosen for the job. They were so kind, and you can tell they put so much care into each photo they take. My husband and I both feel so uncomfortable in front of a camera and Jake and Anna made us feel so comfortable and they helped us with posing for every single photo we took. They were so detail oriented with every shot and that shines through in their finished photos. I always thought that I would only like a small percentage of my photos and let me tell you... I was so wrong! I am not kidding when I say I LOVE every single photo we got back (close to 1000). They are so beautiful and I just still can't even believe that these are our photos to keep forever. My biggest piece of advice to offer about working with Jake and Anna is to hire both of them! They worked so well together and it was really nice to have extra hands to help fix my dress, help us with posing, and take even more amazing photos. These photos are a treasure to us and I cannot wait to look at these for the rest of our lives. I cannot recommend Jake and Anna enough. They are truly amazing at what they do!

. They sure know how to capture the raw emotion and natural light. From the first meeting with Jake, we were hooked on his passion for his craft. The sheer quality Jake and Anna offer is unlike other photographers. Their eye for detail is incredible! The two immediately put us at ease, and we were overjoyed to have such a dynamic married duo who genuinely loves each other. Role models for a long-lasting marriage! Jake and Anna helped us work through our timeline, and they were super professional throughout the six months. On wedding day, temperatures were in the mid-40’s and it rained during our first look, but you would never know with how Jake and Anna captured our day. Incredibly organized team, and I couldn’t recommend them more!

our wedding day. They work together so well and the photos you are left with are beyond beautiful and capture your wedding beyond anything you can imagine. I cannot recommend SweetLife enough! If you are reading this - hire them! They are the best and you won’t regret it.

booked for weddings. Sweetlife came up as a recommendation on here and I messaged them in addition to a few others. Jake responded super quickly and told us that he and Anna were available on our wedding day and that they'd done weddings at our venue before. From the second I saw the example photos he sent from a past wedding on the Oregon Coast I was hooked - and knew immediately that we had to have Sweetlife as our photographers for our important day. When we met virtually with them over Zoom, that solidified it! Jake and Anna are both SO nice, friendly, professional, and such an amazing team to work with. I hadn't worked out a lot of the details of the wedding day and they were super understanding and helpful whenever I had questions. Since Sweetlife was the very first vendor we booked outside of our venue, we looked to them for some recommendations and suggestions for our wedding. We were so happy with every single one of their recommendations. Like many other couples, we had to not only reschedule our wedding but also our engagement shoot due to COVID - the latter MULTIPLE times as the PNW experienced some crazy weather situations including storms and smoke. We appreciated Sweetlife being so understanding throughout the entire process and for the quick response times. Neither my husband nor I love getting photographed and so we aren't the most comfortable in front of a camera, but Jake is so easygoing, nice, and good at lightening the mood that it was much less stressful than we had maybe anticipated. The engagement shoot really paved the way for our wedding day - which was an actual dream come true. Because we had Sweetlife there, our day is now captured beautifully for the rest of our lives. I was in tears when I saw our pictures for the first time. Jake is supremely talented and fit in so naturally among our friends and family that it didn't feel awkward being photographed. He got some really fun, natural pictures of our guests too! We especially loved the romantic first look and sunset pictures he captured. We were amazed to hear that both Jake and Anna still shoot using film during our initial meeting. The pictures definitely have a quality to them that you don't see with digital pictures anymore. I recommend Sweetlife to anyone and everyone in a heartbeat! 10/10 one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!

lso very easygoing about the fact that not much had been planned yet! We got a great timeline that was super detailed once things got closer to the date, and it was really helpful to see when and where everything was happening, in a very easy to read manner. My maid of honor used it to keep everyone on track! Also, Jake is one of the most talented photographers we’ve ever met! We just got the pictures from them last week, and they are BEAUTIFUL. He perfectly captured both the people/emotions of the day, as well as the beauty of the scenery around us. We are so thrilled with them. He was easy to work with, and somehow got great pictures while also not being intrusive at all! We definitely want to work with them again in the future, and 100% recommend them to anyone planning to get married in the PNW.

r to the wedding they helped us plan for some important details we had initially skipped over. The entire time we felt confident that they knew exactly what they were doing. On the wedding day, Jake worked with both focus and determination to get the best shots. Photos can be awkward, but everything had a free flowing feel to it. My wife and I absolutely love the photos from the wedding and festivities afterwards. I don’t know much about photography but I know the final product looks fresh, elegant, and captures all the right details. Would highly recommend working with Jake and Anna!

m to work with, from start to finish. When we were originally choosing a wedding photographer, we actually didn’t know that we wanted film/hybrid photography. After countless hours of research, we landed on film for its timelessness, and the beautiful color and softness that it brings to photos. We interviewed several photographers, but knew immediately after our first meeting that Jake & Anna were “the ones!” They are masters of their craft, producing consistently beautiful photos time and time again...but they are so much more than that. We chose them because we fell in love with their hearts, and their unique passion for encouraging and supporting their couples in their lives and in their marriages. Wedding planning can be an extremely stressful time. For us, this was compounded by the fact that we were planning a wedding during COVID, and I was in medical school. Jake & Anna were the vendors that we never had to worry about. They remained calm, professional, and supportive throughout the entire process. They were extremely organized, easy to communicate with, and made our day better than it would’ve been without them. They’re not just amazing photographers, but just incredible people who we could trust, go to for advice, and who supported us endlessly. We would choose them time and time again, and are forever grateful that our paths crossed!

they were. I crossed my fingers that they would be available for our big day.... We had a special request as we dreamed of a private ceremony. Whoever we had as our photographers would also serve as our witnesses. Jake and Anna had never served as witnesses so this was a fun new experience for them. I could not have thought of a better couple to not only capture every moment but also sign our wedding certificate. Jake and Anna were so detailed and responsive with all the planning and flexibility needed due to COVID. They were amazing on our wedding day and I love all of the photos. They captured all of the small details, the venue, and multiple angles of all of the special moments. We also loved the first look pictures and the timeline they were able to create of our ceremony with pictures. After the ceremony, they joined us at our dinner party for a little while to ensure that we got photos with our guests. They made sure that we had an image of every moment throughout the day! They also were very good about communicating when we could get images, a sneak peek and also have since followed up with social posts and sharing our wedding photos. If I ever need a photographer for another event or special moment, I will for sure be booking Sweetlife with Jake and Anna! Thank you both for helping make our day so special!

nna truly went above and beyond their beautiful photographs as they provided such kind and professional service. They eased our way by providing the much needed structure/timeline to our wedding day, as well as all their great advice and recommendations from their experience and networking in the wedding industry. We are so blessed to have such breathtaking photos to remember our special day. Thank you J&A! Much love, J&A :)

was in and they were the photographers. I instantly loved them, they had such a calming presence and made the bridal party but most importantly the bride and groom have so much fun and let them enjoy their day fully. From that day forward I knew they would be the first vendor I would contact when we began planning our wedding. Not only are their photographs beautiful but they are able to capture moments you've always wished to be able to cherish forever. Jake and Anna made us feel so comfortable and at times we didn't even realize they were there! They are the sweetest couple and so amazing to work with. We only look forward to working with them again in the future. We cannot recommend them enough!

le. They made us feel incredibly comfortable on our wedding day, and made spending a few hours taking photos really fun! We unfortunately ended up with a rainy and cold day for our wedding, but you would never know it from looking at our photos ! They made outdoor photos work beautifully around a little rain, and we got some adorable umbrella shots. I absolutely LOVE the entire collection of photos we received, and am incredibly happy I can keep these memories for a lifetime. They had never done a wedding at our venue before, so they went out there a couple weeks beforehand to look for shooting locations, which I really appreciated, and that made the whole day run really smoothly. They are also incredibly responsive via email, and setup a planning meeting before the big day, so everyone knew exactly what to expect. We were planning from across the country, so we really appreciated their willingness to meet with us via Skype. They were actually the first vendors that we hired because we loved their film photography style so much, and they provided us with some great vendor recommendations to complete our team. I whole heartedly recommend them, and am so glad that we hired them for our wedding.

that their style was exactly what we were looking for – softer, light-filled, and ethereal. What we found through the process of working with them is that one of their "secret ingredients" is their use of old film cameras (although they also mix in digital). This produces the beautiful and timeless quality of photos that we fell in love with from the beginning. We were astounded by the quality of the photos from both our engagement session and our wedding day. Jake and Anna perfectly captured so many special moments, and our families have gotten so much enjoyment out of looking through them and reliving our special day. We have so many favorites that it’s going to be difficult to decide which ones to frame! We feel incredibly lucky to have had this team on board to document our special day. They are truly talented professionals and also incredibly sweet to work with!

! They did a great job outlining our photography timeline and were quick to respond to any questions we had. We loved that while taking our photos, they allowed us be more natural and ourselves rather than super staged in poses. We love how much they care about making things run smoothly and on time. When we got our photos back we couldn’t have been happier! We would definitely recommend any couple using them for their wedding and we will defiantly be using them for any family sessions or maternity sessions when that time comes.

cago - so our beloved dog Bootsie could be involved. Jake flew out to Chicago and scoped out wonderful locations for our shoot. The engagement photos were incredible as were our wedding photos - literally out of this world!! We will cherish them forever. They also photographed our rehearsal dinner and welcome party - to say they went the extra mile for our weekend is an understatement! They captured our wedding weekend perfectly and I’m so grateful they were a part of our big day.

location haha! Our engagement photos and wedding photos are amazing to say the least. My family members were just in awe of the photos and even commented on how they loved their eye in details! We couldn't have imagined our day without you two.

auty that we wanted to capture on our day. And needless to say, they did not disappoint. We could go on and on about how perfect the photos were, but beyond that, we really appreciated how willing both Jake and Anna were to act as a resource for us as we finalized planning our day and help tie our aesthetic together. Then came the wedding day, and their coordination efforts made the day go so unbelievable smoothly. Their effortlessly friendly demeanor and passion for their work brought extra joy and excitement out of our entire group during the photo sessions. When we received our photos, they turned out even better than we could have hoped for. We can't recommend Jake and Anna enough. It's not often that you can find a team that produces the best quality work AND is the best to work with, but that's Sweetlife.

d would do taking so many photos that day but Jake made us both feel comfortable and created an enjoyable experience. Our photos turned out beautiful and I am more then happy Sweetlife photographed my wedding!

found Jake and Anna I knew they would be a great fit with us and let me tell you, they are totally worth the investment! If you are looking for phenomenal wedding photographs, hire Jake and Anna, you will not be disappointed. They are simply the best in the industry! Words cannot begin to describe how grateful we are for Jake and Anna, and for our beautiful wedding photographs. One of the things that first drew us to them was their ability to shoot natural moments, produce images that capture feeling and emotion, and their gorgeous use of natural light – they did not disappoint! Their work is truly breathtaking and seeing our wedding pictures brings us right back to one of the best days in our lives. Not only are our photographs absolutely incredible, but Jake and Anna were an absolutely amazing to work with. They made us feel so comfortable and we loved the way they worked together as a team...it was incredible to see them in action! Not only that, but they are SO kind and sweet. They have serious skills and we are so grateful we chose them as our photographers on our special day (BEST DECISION EVER)! From our first meeting they completely understood our vision. Their attention to detail is phenomenal and the way they photograph tells a beautiful story of one of the most important days of your life. We are so grateful that they were such an important part of our wedding day and that we chose them to capture this incredible part of our journey. We love these photographs and cannot wait to hang them in our home! If you choose Jake and Anna as your wedding photographers, I promise you will not be disappointed!

w exactly how to bring out all the magic! Jake gave us a generous gallery full of bright, dreamy, happy photos to remember all of our special moments and details. Thanks, Jake!

the entire wedding day with us, we loved every interaction with Anna and Jake, They approach everything with so much professionalism, love, and compassion, and this 100% shows in their stunning photographs, which immediately transported us back to our wedding day when we saw them. A good photographer makes or breaks your wedding day and with Sweetlife you really are in the best hands possible. 10/10 recommend them to any couple!

Anna were throughout the entire process. They had a way of putting us at ease, and we had full confidence that they were documenting our day in the best way possible. We have several other friends who have also had Jake and Anna photograph their weddings, and we have only heard the best things! The photos exceeded our expectations--we truly could not have been prepared for how amazing they were going to be! Jake and Anna wrote a story of our entire wedding day with film, and we will cherish the photos for a lifetime. We highly recommend Sweetlife Photography to anyone!

a are about not only photography, but about capturing moments that are so important couples. On top of providing stunning images, they were always quick to respond to our emails and were genuinely a joy to work with! Would absolutely recommend to anyone!

ographer. He puts extensive thought into the angles, lighting, etc. to produce a gorgeous final product. The photos from our wedding are a wonderful mix of candid shots that captured the spirit of the day and posed shots that look like they could be from a magazine. I would recommend Sweetlife without hesitation. P.S. One tip for couples planning a wedding: Ask a family member to look over your family portrait list, to make sure you don’t miss anyone like I did - oops!

nd our photos turned out gorgeous! Would highly recommend!

eserve the memory of our special day, and from the first meeting I could tell that Jake and Anna were the right people for the job. They love what they do and are so interested in making the best possible product for their clients -- from the pre-wedding timeline planning to the engagement session, everything they do is to make the day-of feel comfortable and easy. The end product shows how talented and thoughtful they are in their work -- we absolutely adore our pictures and can't wait to look at them for years to come!

fessional, their work is amazing and they are the nicest people! We are so grateful we chose them and that we have such beautiful pictures to cherish forever!

that took our breath away. I sincerely cannot stop looking at them and they immediately take us back to the best day of our lives. Jake and Anna go out of their way to make sure every detail and emotion are captured and their photos tell a complete story. They are friendly, very organized, great communicators, and sincerely cared about what my husband and I wanted throughout the whole process. I would pick them all over again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a wedding photographer in the future!

the way. We have referred one friend on to them so far and will continue to recommend them in the future.

o yourself a favor and hire them—your memories may fade, but the photos will bring them back in a heartbeat. Not to mention, they're super fun to work with!!

ding day better than ever expected! They made us feel calm during the crazy. We had 100% trust in them front he minute we met. The quality of their work speaks for itself. In addition Jake and Anna clearly care for each of their customers. Sincerity is in the heart of their work and it was a true honor having them as our photographers.
