Not taking a second for granted...

I’m a wedding and elopement photographer serving couples and families in Iowa, Phoenix, and anywhere your love takes you. As a photographer, I believe in leaning into those spontaneous, unplanned moments — the real, raw, and genuine ones that make your day uniquely yours. I’m all about capturing an honest-to-goodness wedding day that tells your story exactly as you envision it — no filters, no scripts, just the truth of your love and the way it unfolds.

Gone are the days of rushed timelines and checklist weddings. Let’s focus on the parts of the day that really matter — the moments that fill your heart, the ones that feel like you. We’ll prioritize presence, connection, and the kind of memories that feel like home. Because your day should feel like a reflection of you and your love, not someone else's idea of perfection.

Here’s the thing: your journey is uniquely yours, and I’m here to remind you of that every step of the way. Let’s create a wedding day where the emotions are true, the memories are real, and the moments are captured in a way that makes you feel like you’re reliving them every time you look back. In a world that moves so fast, your wedding photos will be a chance to slow down, breathe it all in, and appreciate how beautiful it all really was — imperfections and all.

I’m passionate about guiding you through a creative journey where I learn what matters most to you. This way, I can capture your day in a way that feels authentic and timeless, something that will hold value for you forever.

I want you to feel completely comfortable in front of my lens, to be unapologetically yourselves, and to know that this space is yours — to enjoy, to laugh, and to connect. The images I capture will speak to your heart each time you look at them, reminding you that your love, your memories, and your greatest day are truly 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.

Photography has been been in my family for generations, but it wasn’t until a few years ago that I realized it lived deep inside me, too. A huge part of that comes from my amazing Grandma J and her vintage Polaroid camera. Those tiny, tangible photos hold some of my most treasured memories — little snapshots of life exactly as it was. Raw, real, and perfectly imperfect. She showed me the beauty of capturing moments honestly, and that philosophy still guides everything I do today.

I grew up as the youngest of five, surrounded by older siblings who were wildly athletic, hardworking, and talented. Competition was basically built into daily life — there was no choice but to keep up (and try not to get left behind). We spent countless hours in gyms, on fields, and outside, pushing each other and learning what it meant to show up fully. While they thrived in athletics, I always carried a quiet creative side — one that waited patiently until photography gave it a place to bloom.

Along the way, I learned something important: the most meaningful moments are often the simplest ones. The ones we don’t plan for. The small, quiet seconds that slow us down and remind us what really matters. When we look back, those are usually the moments that feel the biggest — the ones that feel like home in your heart.

When you work with me, I want you to feel completely at ease — like you’re just hanging out at home, listening to your favorite music, with zero pressure to perform. You’ll feel like family here, I promise. And if things feel awkward for a second (because let’s be honest, they sometimes do), I’ve got a solid lineup of terrible jokes and an aggressively committed Chris Farley impersonation ready to go.

Connection is everything to me. Capturing real emotion — the kind that transports you right back to how it felt — is the heartbeat of my work.

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll usually find me outside adventuring with my sweet little family, trying new places to eat (especially if they serve good ranch — IYKYK), and always saving room for dessert. Because honestly… why wouldn’t you?

"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!"
