Wedding Photographer based in Redding, california

Jen is the #1 photographer for all of your special moments! Her 10+ years of experience shows in her ability to select the best lighting and backdrops, her attention to detail, her flexibility, and her kindness! She is easy to work with, and her 2nd photographer (Matt, her husband!) is a bonus super power when it comes to ensuring you get the shot you want for your special moment!

We worked with Jen (and Matt!) for both our engagement photos in October 2024 and our wedding in May 2025. Our engagement photos came out so beautiful and we felt very comfortable working with them! Jen showed us a sneak peak of our wedding photos during our reception, and I can honestly say I have never looked more beautiful in a photograph! I looked like the most beautiful bride, and that is exactly how I wanted to feel when I look back on my wedding photos.

I could gush forever about how impressive Jen's skills are as a photographer, but what made her my first choice was her communication and easy manner. Jen was in tune with my needs as a client, which made it easy to be transparent with her regarding any changes I wanted or insecurities I felt during shoots. Matt is so great to have present helping out because he made my husband feel more comfortable with the longer photo sessions. Formal photos usually feel unfamiliar and unengaging for most men, but Matt made the difference in that experience for my husband - those two chatted nonstop, making my husband feel more relaxed and more involved in the moment.

Jen Peterson Photography is a reliable, trustworthy business, whose high quality work has made us customers for life. Thank you Jen (and Matt!)

Thank you so much for being willing and able to work with us, we appreciate all the time you have put in! We had so many people tell us our pictures look like they came out of a wedding magazine.

We reached out to Jen for our wedding and couldn't have been happier with her expertise, professionalism, personality, and of course, the photos! We and every single guest are absolutely in love with them! She and her husband were SO easy to work with, she was very responsive to emails (a godsend when planning long- distance), and I loved how the engagement photoshoot was included as a way to get comfortable with her ahead of the big day. My husband and I had a wonderful time! I know this sounds too good to be true, but she was really THAT amazing!! She has plenty of her work on display so see for yourself!!

Thank you so much Jen. You are such an amazing photographer and such an amazing person too. It was amazing to work with you guys and you were just another perfect layer to our perfect day.

Jen has so much fire and passion behind her camera it’s impossible not to instantly fall in love with her style! My fiancée and I both felt very comfortable with her and Matt!

I hired Jen to be the photographer at my wedding a couple weeks ago. We are beyond happy that we chose her! She truly has a gift of capturing the moment. Matt and Emily were with her and helped her get the best shots. Jen has original ideas and poses that brought out the happiness and beauty of the day. She is kind, professional, very knowledgeable, and loves what she does! I highly recommend using her for any of your photography needs.

Absolutely loved having Jen be our photographer! She is extremely professional and very organized! Would 100% recommend to others and use for future photo shoots!

I cannot thank you enough the photos are so beautiful! We loved having you with us on our special day! Thank you for taking the time to make our photos look absolutely stunning!
