Not taking a second for granted...
I'm a wedding + elopement photographer serving couples and families in Iowa + Phoenix and anywhere your love spreads. As a wedding photographer, I'm leaning into moments that are spontaneous, unplanned/real/genuine that make your day true to you. An honest-to-goodness wedding day that conveys your story the exact way you envision it and exactly the way it unfolds.
Hello are the days of feeling comfortable having a laid-back wedding day where we prioritize time in your day to be present and feel the sincere, true-life memories. Goodbye to the timelines that feel like checklists. Let's have more story-telling of your once-in-a-lifetime moments, more doing things that matter to you and nobody else, more making your day feel genuine, true and sincere to you and your lover.
Let me remind you one more time - your journey is yours, nobody else's. Let's create a day where your true emotions are captured in a way that bring back memories that you might otherwise have forgotten. In a world that moves so quickly, your wedding photos allow you a chance to slow down and appreciate the beauty of the entire day that unfolded, exactly how it unfolded + all the imperfections that made it perfect. I'm passionate about having you along for the creative journey, finding out the core of what you want and why you want it, this way I'm able to capture your memories in a way that holds value for you, forever.
Feeling comfortable behind my lens, being unapologetically yourselves, and creating a space that allows for quality time with your friends and family. The images I capture of your day will speak to your heart each time you look back at them, showing that your love and memories from your greatest day are eternal.
As your photographer and empath, I have the privilege of helping you plan your day the exact way you envision it. Let me be the girl who takes all the stress out of the equation. Yeah, I'm your photographer BUT I'm also your biggest hype girl/soul-sista/caretaker who will make you feel comfortable and at ease the entire process. It has been in my nature (my entire life) to take the mom role and take care of those around me.
If there is anything I'm confident in doing, it is helping things run smoothly. I have your back - but also will be capturing the unposed memories, pure smiles and genuine emotions in all the moments throughout your day. If you need a good laugh in a stressful moment, I promise I always come through!
BEING IN THE MOMENT IS WHAT I DO BEST.
Welcome in Ya'll! My name is Jenna! Photography is something that has been in my family a long long time. It wasn't until a few years back that I finally realized it was rooted in me, deep down. Thanks to my amazing grandma J and her vintage polaroid camera. Those tangible polaroids hold so many core memories for me and my siblings. She truly inspired me to capture each season of life, exactly for what it was.
Nowwww, if you know me, you know I grew up an athlete with four older, athletic, amazingly hard-working and talented siblings. I really had no choice but to try and better my skills day in and day out in basicalllllyy all aspects of life (we all liked a good competition - LOL!) All five of us kids spent a lot of our time in a gym or outside dedicating lots of time to sports! BUT I always had a creative side that I nurtured through each stage of life. It eventually developed into this beautiful passion for being able to look at simple moments for more than just being "simple or imperfect" but more so, as core, quality memories. This passion helped me see the beauty of slowing down, not taking any days, minutes, or seconds for granted and engulfing myself in appreciating every single moment. After all, when we look back on life - the simple moments, we realize were a lot of big moments in ways for us too, right?
I want to tell your story by making you comfortable in any space - like you’re truly just hanging out vibing to your favorite jams at home. When you book with me you'll no doubt, always, feel like family and if you need a good Chris Farley joke orrr impersonation, I'm your girl. I truly love connecting with each and every person I meet, but capturing everyone's genuine emotions that place you right back to the feeling in time is truly at the heart of what I do.
If I'm not behind the camera or creating something - you can find me spending quality time outside, traveling/adventuring with my sweet little family, trying new places to eat or places with the GOOD ranch (IYKYK) and always always following that up with dessert - because WHY NOT!!

"If you are looking for a reason to go with Jenna as your wedding Photographer, please let this be it!! Working with Jenna was perfect from start to finish. She was quick to answer any questions we had an the go to for literally any questions we had. The lead up to the wedding day was awesome having Jenna in our corner. If we thought there was any other person that was as excited for our wedding day as us, it was her. Our wedding was perfect and we can't thank Jenna enough for that! From pictures, to another car, to a wedding hostess, she nailed every single thing. The photos are gorgeous and we can't be more thankful for what Jenna captured that day. From start to finish, Jenna was the best!"
