Close your eyes and imagine your wedding day.


Do you picture a traditional production — rigid timelines, endless expectations, and a version of yourselves that feels slightly… edited to make other people comfortable?


Or do you imagine something more honest?


A day where you’re surrounded by the people who actually know you. Where your love doesn’t have to be softened, simplified, or explained. Where your wedding feels like a reflection of your relationship — not a performance of someone else’s idea of marriage.

If the second option feels more like you, we’ll probably get along wonderfully.


My microwedding photography is for couples who want a wedding day that’s intimate, intentional, and unapologetically theirs — with up to 50 of their favorite humans, and a photographer who understands that safety, respect, and presence matter just as much as beautiful images.


I photograph microweddings for queer, liberal, alternative, and deeply thoughtful couples who want more than just documentation. You want someone who sees the in-between moments. Who knows when to step in and when to step back. Who honors your identities, your boundaries, and your story without turning it into a spectacle.


Your microwedding doesn’t have to follow the rulebook to be meaningful. It gets to be soft, loud, weird, sacred, joyful, tender, and completely your own. And I’d be honored to be the person walking beside you while it all unfolds.

I love celebrating unions with real moments.


I’m not here for choreographed first looks, packed timelines, or 200 guests watching you cut cake. I’m here for the couples ditching the performance, keeping it small (under 50 people), and doing things their way.


I shoot half or full-day documentary-style coverage for the weirdos, introverts, rebels, and romantics who care more about being present than being perfect.


If that’s you - let’s talk. If not, no hard feelings.

"I’m so glad to have come across Jen to capture our love. She traveled to us and it was very reasonably priced. Her communication was on point and easy. She got our photos to us so quickly and was open to any feedback, which I appreciated, but didn’t need! They were beautiful and we have a whole gallery to see forever. Thank you to Jen & our special guest Mindy for making a painless day of photos 😊"

"Jen is absolutely amazing and I couldn’t recommend her enough! Not only was she incredibly professional, but also personable! Me and my partner were very comfortable with her. She was kind, funny, and hyped us up enough to make us relax and have fun!!! and the photos are leaps above what I could have hoped for! If I could leave 10 stars I would!"

FAQ

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes! For all packages, a 25% retainer is required to book. The remaining balance is split between 3 payments due 90 days, 60 days, and 30 days before your wedding date.

If you'd like an extended payment plan, a 25% retainer is still required to book, but the remaining balance will be split between 45 days prior, two weeks prior, two weeks post wedding date.

How many guests can I have?

These packages are designed for micro weddings with up to 50 guests. Larger weddings incur additional costs like second shooters to ensure appropriate coverage. If you resonate with my style or personality, I am happy to discuss alternatives or add-on options.

Do you help with planning?

Yes! I offer day-of timeline creation, local vendor recommendations, and access to my interactive wedding planning tool.

What is your turn around time?

Average turn around to receive your gallery is 4-6 weeks. Priority gallery delivery can be added (or is included in some packages), bringing that to up 2-3 weeks.

Are there travel fees?

Travel is included for weddings taking place within 25-50 miles of my location. Events outside of this radius are charged per mile or at cost for overnight stay. I will provide a quote for travel costs when you inquire.

How many photos can I expect?

All packages come with all digital photos that I believe add to your wedding story. There is a minimum that you can expect, but on average I deliver 50 photos per hour of photography.

"Jennifer was absolutely amazing! Not only did she make us feel comfortable and relaxed, but she also captured the most stunning photos. It was so hot and sweaty that day, but you’d never know from the pictures—she worked her magic! Her eye for detail, lighting, and composition is incredible. We couldn’t be happier with the experience and the final images. Highly recommend!"
