the LOVE
Jen Dery is beyond special, she just has such an artistic eye. This is an area that you DO NOT want to leave to chance. She made suggestions without being controlling. I hardly knew she was there. She is very focused on making your day special and she certainly did that for me. Thank you Jen!
Denise
I know that weddings can get expensive, and Jennifer is not a low-budget choice, but I can say confidently that any couple would feel they got every penny’s worth. When it comes down to it, a wedding is all about creating memories, and the photos taken are the only way to ensure those memories don’t fade. Thanks, Jen!
Logan
It is with enthusiasm that I recommend Jen Dery. I can speak from the perspective as a client who has been on the other end of Jen’s lens, as well as a reputable wedding planner who trusted Jen with my clients. I took great care in choosing vendors to refer to my clients, and would only make these referrals if I had absolute confidence in them. Jen gave me that confidence–I always knew that she would deliver!
Mia
We used Jen for our engagement and wedding photos book. We were so pleased/in love with her work that we’ve enlisted her to photograph our baby girl, due to arrive early this fall, and take our first “official” family photo. I can honestly say that our wedding album is treated like a sacred relic. In short, Jen and her team are a breeze to work with and, you will end up with photos you will cherish for a lifetime, which is the most important part.
Danielle
We started using Jen for our engagement session and our wedding in 2007. We were so happy with her work, we continue to have her document our family’s growth. She has taken family photos on three different occasions. She does an exceptional job and provides us with a good selection of photos. We are running out of wall space to hang the photos!
Shelley
She was amazing! I am not photogenic or natural in front of the camera, but she totally put me at ease and took beautiful pictures.
Laura
Thank you Jen for always going above and beyond with capturing the most special moments in my life!
Taylor
“In short, Jen and her team are a breeze to work with — they are professional; on time; friendly; and, just all around great people. And, you will end up with photos you will cherish for a lifetime, which is the most important part.”
Daniella
My fiance’ and I loved working with Jennifer. After meeting with Jennifer and looking at her work, we knew her style was exactly what we wanted. We didn’t want to have everything posed, but wanted to see the event as it unfolded. The end result was stunning! Our photos take us right back to our wedding and we can relive each wonderful moment. If you do want a few posed photos (aside from the family shots), you just need to let her know what you want. They took great photos without you feeling like you were always being photographed. We would definitely recommend working with Jennifer as she is a pleasure to work with!
