Jenny is simply amazing!! I truly can't say enough good things about her and our experience with her. We did a winter engagement session on top of Loveland Pass with Jenny and she made the whole process so easy (because let’s face it, this can get stressful!). Jenny is so personable, kind, genuine, and fun! She's incredibly responsive, helpful, and timely to work with. Jenny knows Colorado well (she’s a local 😊 ) and had great insight on locations and made sure we got all the pictures we wanted. She sent us a sneak peek of the photos immediately and then delivered the rest of the gallery within 4 days. They were stunning and exceeded every one of our expectations! Jenny will be capturing our wedding day in October and we couldn’t be more thrilled. I would recommend Jenny a thousand times over 😊 -

Where do I even begin?! Jenny was an absolute joy to work with - she made my husband and I feel comfortable in front of the camera and was able to capture engagement and wedding photos that we will cherish for a lifetime. Her personality and energy makes her so much fun to work with and most importantly she is an incredible photographer! I can't say enough good things about Jenny and our experience working with her - I know we'll be finding excuses to do photos with her in the future! -

Absolutely amazing!! Just book now!
Jenny was so incredibly amazing to work with! My fiance and I were traveling to Colorado for the first time (as a trip to replace our original wedding date). We wanted pictures taken to remember our OG date and found Jenny. She was incredibly professional, extremely quick to respond, easy to work with, and soooo pleasant! She was just the sweetest. Since we don't know Colorado at all, she helped us pick out a spot to shoot and answered all of our million of questions. Not to mention, when we got to our spot it was beyond freezing! She stuck with us and even was able to change locations last minute. I am absolutely obsessed with the photos, they are absolutely stunning. We cannot thank her enough. If you are looking at Jenny, you should just book her right now :) -

Simply put Jenny was amazing to work with! Communication was easy and clear, and the entire process from booking through getting access to the photos in our gallery was effortless. Her sense of design and creativity really shows through in all of her photos. She made us feel comfortable throughout the entire shoot which was definitely unnatural for me. It was just like having a good friend along for the entire day! She was also extremely flexible the day of the shoot in extending our shoot to get some amazing additional shots. Jenny was wonderful to work with and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great photographer and experience. Thanks so much again Jenny! -

Fantastic Photographer
Update:
I only have more things great things to say about Jenny after our Covid-delayed wedding but she makes everything so easy and took the BEST photos. We had a rainy wedding day and she rolled with it and our pictures were perfect. We also shot in locations Jenny hadn't been before and we didn't have to do a thing. She found good shots, light, etc. I cannot say enough good things!
I really can't say enough wonderful things about Jenny Smiley Photography! First of all, I hate having my picture taken, but Jenny made everything come together so naturally and I felt comfortable on our shoot. She answered every question, had styling and location advice, and took the time to meet with us and chat before our shoot. Our pictures are beautiful! Jenny has the eye for this and captured our expressions and the light in the most exquisite way. I cannot recommend her enough! -

Hire her now!!
Jenny was amazing! She kept in touch leading up to our elopement, helped us figure out what we really wanted from our “adventure elopement”, and made a rough timeline for us. She even helped with things like recommending some leggings for me to wear under my dress (a must, it was cold!), getting my dress zipped up and jewelry on, and even ran back into our hotel room for me when I forgot my engagement ring. Our elopement was amazing, and she was like the supportive bff cheering us on and making sure we looked good the entire time. I would 100% recommend her and honestly definitely want to hire her again -

Oh my gosh, Jenny is everything we hoped for and so much more. We completed our engagement shoot yesterday and laughed the whole time. For something that can feel super unnatural, Jenny made us incredibly comfortable and made it even feel somewhat natural! We left feeling like we had an awesome experience and it was the perfect way to spend an afternoon. We just received our sneak peeks and we are seriously gushing. The photos are simply perfect and I cannot recommend Jenny enough to anyone here in CO who needs a photographer for any occasion! She truly works magic. -

Our Engagement Photos are so Us!
Ok I admit Jenny was our friend before our photographer, but honestly she absolutely blew us away with our engagement pictures! We weren't sure if any photographer would be down with the unique high alpine hike we had in mind, but Jenny didn't hesitate to commit to whatever we wanted to make our photos match our vision. On the day of the shoot she was a calming force for our camera anxiety and we somehow opened up and were totally ourselves, which neither of us expected to be able to do! The whole afternoon was just a fun hangout with an old friend. I have no doubt that even if you'd never met Jenny before, she would make you feel this way. When we got our sneak peeks literally the next day, we couldn't stop looking at them and smiling. The quality of light and energy in the photos was next level, and we didn't look awkward at all! You can tell from the photos alone that she really knows what she's doing. If you're looking for an adventure or elopement photographer, Jenny is for you! -

Lindsey B. Sent on 07/10/2020AMAZING experience!
Jenny was AMAZING!!! We can’t say it enough. You no longer need to keep looking- just book her and you won’t regret it! My fiancé and I decided last minute to do engagement photos while vacationing in Aspen and I feel so lucky we literally “stumbled” upon Jenny with a google search and it was a gem of a find! She was super quick to respond each time, so friendly and helpful, went above and beyond to make sure we got what we wanted, planned ahead and made the actual shoot fun! Oh yeah- and got us a sneak peak in less than 24 hours and full gallery in less than a week. Can’t say enough great things about using her :) -

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Jenny. From our initial perusal of her website to the delivery of our engagement pictures (TWO days later!!!) working with her has been an amazing experience. To start, we loved Jenny’s initial questionnaire when you request information - it made our get-to-know-you zoom call (2020 ya know?) so natural and easy because she already had an idea of who we were and what we were looking for. Jenny was SO helpful when choosing the location for the shoot too - she recommended a couple spots that had great mountain views. When the forecast came in that it was supposed to snow, she went above and beyond. She went to two of the locations early to send us some pictures so we could decide which would be better. Once we met at Hoosier Pass it was like catching up and goofing around with an old friend. Jenny was so easy going and made us feel so comfortable, we forgot how cold our toes were. Going into the shoot I was a little nervous because I am not an in front of the camera kind of gal, Jenny made the whole experience so natural and fun, giving us cues to get good shots but also encouraging an impromptu snowball fight. Not only was our experience of the shoot amazing, but Jenny was also unbelievably speedy in getting us a sneak peek (that same night!) and our gallery 2 days later! We cannot wait to have Jenny shoot our wedding, both for the pictures and the company! -

Jaime M. Sent on 10/20/2020Intimate Adventure Elopement with Jenny Smiley
Working with Jenny was exciting and seamless from start to finish. During our first conversation, I expressed my concerns to tell our families about our decision to have an intimate adventure wedding. She sent a few helpful articles that walked through different ways to have the discussion with your family and how to make them apart of your day even though they wouldn’t be there. She truly allowed us to have our fairy tale adventure elopement! Jenny was extremely flexible and open to our ideas. We had to make a last-minute location change due to lack of road access and she trusted us on our new choice right away. She was fearless enough to join my now husband and I on a 6-mile hike with an elevation gain of 1,515 feet . . . with all her camera equipment! We all seriously laughed together the entire day. She made us feel so calm and comfortable in front of a camera and captured that MOST magical moments. She even helped me with my veil a few hundred times throughout the day. We just received our gallery and oh my, THE PHOTOS ARE AMAZING!! She really captured the best day of our lives, in the best way! These photos are something that will be cherished forever. If you are looking for a photographer for any occasion, look no further, Jenny is your gal! -

Alyssa P. Sent on 10/19/2020Don't miss out on booking Jenny!
Jenny blew me away from the very beginning! She was honestly more helpful and responsive than my wedding coordinator throughout the stress of planning a COVID wedding. She provided amazing suggestions for both our engagement and wedding locations that we LOVED and super comprehensive guides with tips for timelines, what to wear, etc. My now husband was not into the idea of a photographer, but after our engagement session he suggested doing our first dance with just Jenny there after our wedding because he felt so comfortable with her! Our photos are absolutely incredible and I love every single one. You won't be disappointed! -

Hands down best photography experience!
Jenny was incredibly timely, professional, friendly, creative and extremely organized which took all the stress and nerves out of the situation. She took our maternity photos and after ten years of being together they are some of my favorite photos that we have together to date. Loved every single one of them! Thank you Jenny! If you need photography for any occasion she is your girl. -

My fiancé and I just finished an engagement session with Jenny and we can't say enough good things about her. She was very quick to respond to both our initial contact, and any follow up questions we had. She suggested great some great locations, and was able to work with the natural scenery and lighting to capture some amazing pictures. We were able to meet for coffee beforehand, which helped us relax. This was our first time getting professional pictures taken, and Jenny made us feel extremely comfortable in front of the camera. She sent us some sneak peak pictures almost immediately after the shoot, which we loved. Our gallery was delivered faster than we could have ever expected, and these pictures turned out better than we ever could have imagined! -

J Accorso Sent on 07/19/2020Better Than We Imagined!
In May we cancelled our large upstate NY wedding due to COVID. For a couple of weeks, the thought of planning a second wedding was too much to even think about. Then, we decided to elope in Colorado and reached out to Jenny to document the day. We were immediately grateful that we did. She was quick to respond, and provided a lot of useful information right out of the gate! Her organized approach helped us to successfully plan the timeline for our big day. The day of, she was early and ready for us when we arrived. She even helped me into my dress!
Jenny is a great friend, but even still we were both nervous to have our picture taken. We were immediately at ease with her. Her gentle posing and suggestions along with her artistic eye created better pictures than we could have imagined. Not only do we love them, but our friends and family do to!
I would not hesitate to book her again or suggest her to friends and family, or really anyone!
With having the last name, Smiley, she couldn’t have chosen a better career. We are so grateful for the role she played in our special day. Thank you, Jenny!! -

We are very happy with our engagement photos and have received so many compliments from family and friends! Jenny was super fun and easy to work with.

I am not one to typically write reviews, but I hope this is helpful for any engaged couple looking for a wedding photographer. You do not need to look any further! Jenny Smiley is your girl.
She is talented, creative, extremely thoughtful, playful, easy-going, organized and calming. She truly cares about her clients and deeply loves this profession which shows in how she represents herself and from the work she produces. In my opinion, Jenny can also handle anything! She has conquered this COVID-19 2020 year with grace and ease.
For my wedding, Jenny was there from when we planned our first original traditional wedding (before COVID-19) to helping us wrap our heads around a different wedding, due to COVID-19, and putting together a plan for our new elopement wedding. Her experience with both weddings and elopements greatly calmed my anxiety because she helped to nail down moments in our timeline to capture elements of both the traditional wedding I’d always dreamt about, and the intimacy of an elopement with just close family and friends. And boy did she capture just that!!
And to top it all off, she sent us our wedding gallery early and on my birthday! Such a thoughtful gift! We are so IN LOVE with them - they bring happy tears to my eyes. Jenny Smiley is a key component in making our special day. We are forever thankful. -

We LOVED Jenny!!! Jenny is super nice, passionate and personable. She was so amazing with us the entire time and she just as great with our fur babies (they were a big part of our wedding). Jenny asked us the right questions and got our wedding vision immediately. She took the most amazing to die for wedding pictures. They are more then what I could of ever asked for. Jenny wasn’t just a super talented photographer but she was an exceptional friend, bridal consultant, DJ and DANCE instructor!!! She assisted us with so much and we appreciated every second of it. I can’t wait to go back and work with her again. She’s the best. Thank you Jenny for everything! -

Jenny is a truly a dream to work with. She shot our winter engagement pictures and did such an amazing job. Not only is her level of work above and beyond what I expected, but she truly made the experience feel like a fun DATE! I look back at the pictures and smile, because she did such an amazing job capturing US and moments, rather than boring old photos. BUT JUST WAIT. Jenny then captured the most amazing day of our lives, which I could never thank her enough for. Not only did she text me the night before our wedding day to hype me up, but she was someone I was able to vent to and run ideas by during our planning process. She captured our day so beautifully and it really tells the story of us. She was flexible and open to what we wanted, but had so many ideas to fill in my gaps! She got our pictures back within the month (AMAZING!!!!) I can't thank Jenny enough for all she's done! I highly recommend Jenny for any type of shoot, you will not be disappointed. Thank you, Jenny, Michael and I adore you!!! -

Jenny is fun, professional and beyond talented. She creates a comfortable atmosphere that brings out the best photos even for people that aren’t the most natural in front of the camera. I couldn’t have asked for better engagement photos! -
