Wedding Photographer based in Redding, california

Hello and welcome!! I’m so glad you’re here. I’m Jen, your Wedding, Portrait, and Real Estate photographer located in the heart of beautiful Northern California (Redding to be precise).

I’ve had a camera in my hand for over a decade now and I wouldn’t trade it for anything! I also couldn’t live a day without my coffee, a green smoothie, an Adventures in Odyssey episode, and hugs from my kids! I am a mom and step-mom to four beautiful children, a proud Auntie and a devoted wife to my husband, Matt.

Let me just tell you…I absolutely LOVE what I do. I get to bless my clients with joyful and timeless photos! I am honored by the opportunity to serve my clients to the best of my ability. And I’d love to give you that same type of experience!

Easy to work with

“Jen and Matt were so easy to work with, she was very responsive to emails, and I loved how the engagement photos were included as a way to get comfortable with her ahead of the big day. We couldn’t have been happier with her expertise, professionalism, personality, and of course, the photos!

Keeping it simple

Planning a wedding can be complicated! It’s our goal to make your wedding photography experience as simplified, convenient and stress-free as possible. We’ll spend time together before and after your wedding to ensure you have the best experience from start to finish, and there may be little surprise gifts along the way as well…

We’ll help you:

  • Build the perfect timeline (alongside your wedding planner) that keeps the day on track and flowing smoothly.

  • Create your family portrait list so it includes those you love but also is curated to get them done as fast as possible. (You’ve got a party to get to!)

  • Create a stunning high-end legacy wedding album without the burden of trying to design it yourself. (I was a graphic designer for over 14 years, I’ve got you girl!)

We take on a limited number of weddings per year to ensure we bring you unprecedented service. If this all sounds perfect to you, then what are you waiting for? Let’s connect!
