ABOUT JENNA
Your forever photographer, here to preserve your best days ever. Here are some of my favorite things!
"We had a beautiful morning with my family and Jenna creating moments that will be forever in our hearts! Jenna was a pleasure to work with, making us laugh and knowing exactly what was coming next and capturing the moments when when were being at our silliest! Thank you Jenna!"
The Ziemke Family

"Jenna was a dream to work with! My husband and I do not consider ourselves photogenic and struggle with being in front of the camera. Jenna made us feel comfortable and the photos turned out great! She also made the process feel very smooth and I felt supported as the bride."
"Jenna was amazing to work with. I’ve received so many compliments on the beautiful photos that she took! I love the way she 'posed' us so that we felt super comfortable in front of the camera. I would highly recommend hiring Jenna!"
Elizabeth & Addison
"Jenna was AMAZING to work with! She made both our engagement session and wedding day SO fun and special! She’s extremely helpful and kind. I couldn’t have dreamed of a better hype woman and photographer for those special days. "
Taylor + Carter
"Jenna was an awesome photographer for our engagement pictures and wedding photos. She was great at directing us for the photos and had such a quick turn around for both engagement and wedding pictures. We loved working with her and highly recommend!"
Madelyn + Robert
Jenna is absolutely amazing at what she does. She did our engagement photos when it was 6 degrees and did our wedding photos when it was 106 degrees. We forgot all about the weather and enjoyed the moment. Her skill and craft is top notch. I love that she uses natural light. She is amazing with communication and she makes sure you and her are on the same page. Not only will you get an amazing photographer, but it will feel like you've got a best friend during that day. (She saved the day multiple times including figuring out the bustle, was it her job? no. Did she help anyway. Absolutely!) You will not regret working with her. We will be using her again in the future.
Peyton + Stevin
"Jenna did such great work for my family and I. She always captures our family so beautifully. She’s always so kind and easy to work with, especially with my daughter who doesn’t always cooperate long Jenna still manages to get amazing photos!"
The Munoz Family
"Jenna will forever be our photographer! We had the most incredible experience with her. She is so personable, quick to respond and get photos back to you, and was very helpful in creating a timeline and keeping everyone on schedule. Her photography skills and good ideas for pictures make her pictures some of the best I’ve seen. Hiring Jenna was one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding. You will not regret going with her to capture your big day! Thank you for everything, Jenna!"

the jmp wedding experience
When you hire me as your wedding photographer, you're not just hiring me to show up and take pictures on your wedding day. You're bringing me onto your wedding planning team to provide you with a timeline + ongoing timeline assistance, vendor recommendations, and endless excitement for your wedding day + marriage. I'll be your right-hand-gal on the big day with all the little things you didn't know you needed, and I'll preserve your best memories in the meantime. You'll get sneak peeks shortly after your wedding day, and your full gallery not long after that, and I'll be cheering you on forever.
