MAISON MAY, BROOKLYN

I would say who you choose to photograph your wedding is one of the most important decisions. And there's no hesitation in my heart when I say you just need to choose Jen. She creates photos that don't feel "like wedding photos" (in the best way), but are special, radiant and gorgeous. Our photos are jaw-droppingly stunning. She captures the emotion + feeling of the day. Hiring her was the best decision we made for our wedding. We could not be happier, we could not recommend her more highly. She absolutely slays, and tbh, we're going to miss her!

Jen is so nice, I hired her twice. First - for my NYC City Hall elopement - we were sold on her enthusiasm and passion for what she does. After our amazing city hall shoot, we knew we had to call her again for our larger vow renewal the following year. Again, she was such a delight and captured the best moments (she has such an amazing eye, it's crazy). If you want someone to cry at your wedding and to climb trees to get that perfect angle and to genuinely enjoy what she's doing, JEN IS YOUR GIRL.

I don’t know how we got so lucky to find Jen! We are *so* in love with our wedding photos. Jen is a true artist. She documented our day with an insane amount of patience and attentiveness. She captured all of our special moments with such unparalleled beauty. I love Jen’s candid/editorial style. She has an eye for an aesthetic frame while also capturing genuine emotions. Honestly, it didn’t take long before I completely forgot that Jen was documenting our wedding day — and that’s the best kind of photographer to have.

If you're looking for a photographer who will make you feel comfortable AND capture images that are authentic to who you and your partner are - look no further. We asked her to fly to Key West for our nuptials - she got to the island early, scouted out the best locations and the photos are flawless, absolute perfection. The best part was that hiring Jen meant I didn't stress out about how the photos would turn out. I trusted her completely -- and she still blew me away!

Jen is everything you want the day of your wedding: kind, funny, pro-active, unobtrusive, but always there. I love love her photos so much, to the point that every time I go to make my wedding album I end up throwing up my hands and saying “ALL OF IT!”. Planning with her was great, she was game for anything and had such great ideas and was able to use our venues to the maximum amount. I’ve had multiple guests in the months since my wedding come up to me to tell me “your photographer was the best” and I have to agree!

From our engagement session to our wedding, Jen not only made us feel 100% comfortable, but she also captured everything in a way we could never imagine. We look at our photos and can't believe they are ours. She makes the whole process super easy and leaves you with a gallery that you're blown away by. We didn't feel like Jen was just some person we hired for our day, she felt like a piece of our day that we also really cherished. We are forever grateful to have hired Jen + can't recommend her enough!

An absolute dream photographer! Jen was able to simultaneously reassure us, direct us to how to pose, make us feel like rockstars, + disappear so we barely even noticed her presence. She was calm + flexible, adjusting plans without missing a beat when the morning of our wedding was rainy. Aside from her amazing demeanor, the photos are absolutely stunning. Jen has a great eye + captured so many sweet moments in such an authentic way. Nothing felt forced, cliche or posed. And we've had so many people comment on how gorgeous our photos are.

For a day with so many wonderful memories, it speaks volumes that Jen was one of the absolute highlights of our wedding. We were excited to work with her because her pictures seem like fine art photography first, and wedding photography second. Jen’s photos are a brilliant memory of not just the events of that day, but the feelings and moments behind them. At no point did Jen feel like an accessory to our wedding, she was part of the team, involved + invested in making the wonder of that day happen. We can’t recommend her highly enough.

Where do we begin to express our gratitude to Story and Gold weddings? Jen is easy going, quick witted and quirky but also serious about her business and that resonated so much. Being photographed by Jen never felt like being photographed. And the pictures are stunning - we have received so many compliments. Her work is unique, not just good. It is real, not staged. And the process is natural and fun. We loved working with Jen!
