Wouldn't Recommend
I thought she had great photos on her social media accounts and when we spoke on the phone it sounded like she would be a great fit. Unfortunately she is just either a very inexperienced wedding photographer or lacks the quality needed for such a big event. We had 22 guests in our backyard wedding so I expected a lot more of our family and friends in the photos. She got a photo of me walking towards the aisle from the house, but not one of me actually at the aisle. She did not get the flower girl/ ring boy coming down the aisle. She did not get any of our family or guests in our alter shots. Only zoomed in photos of us, so it looks like a guest-less wedding. The alter photos were all taken from the same location so there isn't variety in that. When it came to the family photos/ groomsmen, brides maid photos, Jenny just waited for us to get into position and asked us, "So what do you want?" As a wedding photographer, you need to take charge and tell us what positions to stand in. We had to pose ourselves and our guests. She did not direct us at any point throughout the night. Her extra was the only one who would occasionally stop Jenny and fix my arm placement or angle, and that was few. There were no photos of my maid of honor and I getting ready. The only getting ready photos of the ladies we got were my mother putting my jewelry on. They said the majority of our candid guests photos would be on the dance floor and they would upload them. In total I got 5 photos of everyone dancing. Not from lack of people dancing, because we had every guest dancing for the last 45 minutes. 2 from the first batch and 3 from the second batch when I had to ask for more. There were many times throughout the night where Jenny and her extra were standing around talking. Enough to where even my sister asked about it. But I figured she was professional enough to manage her time. The photos she did provide were nicely edited. They were taken at an angle for some reason and adjusted straight so the barn in the background was crooked, which bothered my husband. Other than that, they looked nice. I was just very disappointed in what she missed. I would recommend her for family portraits, but I would not recommend her for another wedding.
