About this vendor

Hi I’m Jenny, your photographer. I’m so happy you’re here! I can’t wait to talk in person, but until then, here are a few things about me. I shoot weddings everywhere but the Dallas/Fort Worth area has been my main squeeze for wedding work for a while now! In 2021 I’m shooting in other places as well like New Orleans, LA, Miami, FL, Salt Lake City, UT, Jackson, WY, and Napa, CA. I love traveling so don’t hesitate to reach out even if you aren’t having your wedding in the DFW area! I’m ready to have so much fun with you at your wedding! If you’ve never taken photos in your life, don’t worry, I’m here to get all your best angles and best moments! My main goal at every wedding is to be there for you- grab your mom when you need her, find that missing groomsmen, make sure someone gets you that glass of wine, and of course, get all the photos you’ll want to remember for the rest of your life. And don't worry if photos aren't your thing! I make it my mission to make it easy-giving you all the cues to get those natural, candid shots of you and your love having fun, dancing, laughing, celebrating, and allll the things!! If you read this far and get a good feeling from me, let’s talk! I want to hear all about your wedding day vision! I’m already excited to be friends! -Jenny J.

Jenny was charismatic, friendly, and our pup loved her. She made the vision of our intimate Dallas elopement a reality and the photographs she took are works of art. I am still constantly looking through our wedding photos and cannot wait to get our album back! Throughout it all her communication and responsiveness was impeccable and I could not recommend her more to be part of your day!

Jenny is SO fun and professional at the same time! She didn’t seem to mind the absolute craziness of our wedding day and took it all in stride. The pictures turned out stunning and we couldn’t be more in love with them!

Jenny was such a joy to work with! On a day that can be full of stress, she found ways to capture our natural personalities. She truly felt like a friend that I’ve known forever! Our pictures came out beautiful! It was also so fun to see so many previews just a few days after our wedding! We plan to continue to use Jenny for years to come!

Jenny was amazing! I am a photographer myself and I had some specific requests and high standards. Not only did she meet my requirements, she far surpassed my expectations. She is absolutely amazing at posing couples. That was one of my main concerns because I am really awkward in front of the camera, I much prefer to be behind the camera. But she made my wife and I look natural and it was a lot of fun! Highly recommend Jenny!

Jenny is one of the nicest, most down to earth people I have ever met! Not only is she a great person, but her photography is on another level. She is very easy to work with and made me feel very comfortable and confident on my big day! One of the coolest things that I appreciated about her is that she wasn’t afraid to get creative and I got some stunning pictures because of it! I was beyond impressed with her ability to capture perfect photos in a location she had never been in before. One of the best decisions I made for my wedding was hiring her! She is professional, creative, kind, and easy to work with. She is honest and up front with you about everything. It really did feel like I was working/hanging out with a friend. She got the preview gallery to us very fast and it had a lot of pictures in it! Overall, I am extremely impressed with my experience working with Jenny and the quality of my photos.

Book Jenny immediately! She is so kind and fun to work with. It was like hanging out with a friend all day rather than it just feeling like a vendor. She made us feel so comfortable taking photos. She is super responsive, engaged and you can tell she genuinely cares about your special day. I will continue to book her for any occasion we needs photos for!

Jenny was amazing to work with, and we really appreciate how flexible she was with the date change to our wedding due to an unexpected illness. Our wedding photos came out incredible and we're so glad our day was captured so perfectly. We would definitely recommend Waking Starlight to anyone looking for a photographer!

Waking Starlight was amazing to work with for my wedding! Even though we weren't able to meet in person before the big day, when I saw her it felt like we had been friends for years! The sneak peeks were incredible, and I got the rest of my photos in a very timely manner! Every bridesmaid and the mother of the bride also had so much fun with her and found it so easy to interact with her for pictures! I have nothing bad to say about this photographer and her business! 10/10 would recommend!!

When I tell you Jenny is the absolute best, I mean she is the ABSOLUTE BEST! She was very personable, kind, and has such an amazing eye for detail. I am beyond happy with choosing her as our photographer and having her capture these beautiful moments that I will cherish forever! I 100% recommend Jenny for ALL of your photography needs! Her skills are amazing, but her passion for what she does shines through like no other. I've found myself a photographer for LIFE! Thank you for making my Pinterest wedding photo dreams come true Jenny! -xxx

She was incredible throughout the entire process of our wedding, even with having to postpone. The pictures are absolutely stunning, and recieved them back so fast! I would also recommend the videographer, both are great to work with! We have recieved so many compliments on our pictures. Worth every penny!

We loved having Jenny and Bri capture our wedding. The photos came out amazing & due to the pandemic, Jenny was very flexible with us. Our wedding plans changed multiple times and Jenny was flexible and came fully prepared for anything. Photo quality is AMAZING! My husband is a photographer and He was impressed with her skills and ability from the beginning. Jenny was quick to send the finished product back to us, and we are forever grateful for her talent and abilities! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND booking Jenny as your photographer!

Jenny will be our go-to photographer for life! For months up to the wedding, we kept in touch to prepare things and she always stayed on top of it all. She captured every beautiful moment and more on our wedding day and I seriously couldn’t have asked for better. I’ve never been one that was very comfortable in front of the camera, but Jenny made me feel beautiful and the atmosphere was fun and exciting in between the nerves. Her style, personality, punctuality, and efficiency are a few of the many reasons that I will always recommend her to everyone looking for a photographer! Thank you, Jenny!

I'm so grateful I found and choose Jenny to be my wedding photographer. Everything and every last detail was perfect. She was professional, quick to respond to any questions I had along the way and the photos were beautiful and capture our special day perfectly! I highly recommend Jenny and I'm so pleased with her work!

Wow!! Jenny was absolutely incredible!! She made sure to capture every moment from our wedding. Her and her second shooter, Bri, were so fun to work with. I met them in person for the first time on my wedding day and they made me feel so comfortable. I would absolutely hire them again!!

Jenny was an amazing photographer. She was very professional and punctual, and helped make me and my family feel comfortable and confident during our session. She also has a keen eye for lighting and angles, which likely contributed to our photos being featured on The Knot’s Instagram page! I highly recommend Jenny for your professional photography needs.

We absolutely loved everything about Jenny for our wedding. We spoke in the phone about all the pictures we wanted to capture and at the wedding she made sure she got everything we needed. The pictures are so much more beautiful than I could ever imagine and we felt so comfortable with her while taking pictures (which is so important) She is an amazing photographer, our pictures were so candid and bright! I can’t wait to have her photograph future events!!

Best decision I ever made!! Jenny shot the day my husband proposed, our engagement party, our engagement photos, my bridals, and our wedding! She is truly walking in her calling. She is SO gifted and so easy/fun to work with! She made everything a breeze and captured everything I ever wanted and even more! She has my business for life and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer!

Jenny is absolutely amazing! She’s captured some wonderful memories for me and my family. She did my engagements, my wedding, and mine and my husbands first Christmas together. She’s amazing to work with and gives 100% to everything she is doing!

7/21/2020 • Brooke H

Jenny is an amazing photographer! She not only is very professional in her work, but she is passionate and creative about what she does. My husband and I used her for our engagements and wedding and the pictures turned out perfect! Her turn around is also very efficient!

I can’t say enough good things about Jenny she shot mine & my husband’s elopement about 3 years ago (ps our favorite photo got featured on the cover of a magazine which is a huge flex 😉) and ever since she’s been there photographing every special moment we create as a family. 1000/1000 highly recommend working with Jenny she really is the best EVER!

We have had the BEST experience with Waking Starlight! She is very attentive to what's important to the customer and has great ideas of her own that you don't see from other photographers.
