Texas Wedding Photographer

YOUR WEDDING. YOUR PEOPLE. YOUR STORY.

I’m Jennifer.

I’m a New York native who somehow ended up in El Paso, a documentary photographer at heart, a traveler, an adventurer, an outdoor person, and someone who has never been very good at sitting still.

I’ve taught English in orphanages in South Africa and Thailand, traveled through Southeast Asia, photographed communities in Nepal and India, climbed mountains, chased sunsets, and photographed more than 800 weddings.

Somewhere along the way, I realized that weddings give me the same thing documentary photography always has:

People being completely, unapologetically themselves.

And that's what I want to photograph.

YOU'RE PROBABLY MY PEOPLE IF...

You don't need everything to be perfect.

You want to have an amazing kick-ass day.

You care about your people. Your family. Your culture. Your story.

You want photographs that feel like you—not photographs that could belong to anyone.

Maybe you're planning a huge Indian wedding with days of celebration and traditions that have been passed down through generations.

Maybe you're getting married in the desert with your closest people.

Maybe you're throwing the biggest party of your life.

Maybe you're doing something completely different.

I don't care what your wedding looks like.

I care that it feels like you.

I'm drawn to people who are adventurous, open-minded, emotional, a little wild, deeply connected to the people they love,

and willing to let the day unfold instead of trying to control every second of it.

WHAT IT'S LIKE HAVING ME THERE

I'm not going to spend your entire wedding day pulling you away from your friends and family to pose for photographs.

That's not why you're getting married.

You're getting married to live it.

I'll give you direction when you need it. I'll help you feel comfortable in front of the camera. We'll make some kick-ass portraits.

But then I'm going to get out of the way.

I'll disappear into the background and watch.

I'll be looking for the things you might miss.

Your mom trying not to cry.

Your friends going completely wild on the dance floor.

Your dad seeing you for the first time.

The hands reaching for yours during the ceremony.

The quiet five minutes you steal together when everything finally slows down.

The tears. The laughter. The chaos. The people you love most in the world all in one place.

That's where the good stuff is.

My documentary background has taught me to look for what is real. My wedding experience has taught me how to anticipate it.

So you don't have to worry about whether I'm getting the shot.

I am.

I WANT YOU TO ACTUALLY REMEMBER YOUR WEDDING

Years from now, I don't want you to look at your photographs and think,

"Wow, we looked good."

Of course I want you to look incredible.

But I want more than that.

I want you to remember how your partner looked at you.

I want you to hear your grandmother's laugh.

I want to remember the ridiculous dance move your best friend pulled out.

I want you to feel the nerves before walking down the aisle.

I want you to remember exactly what it felt like to have everyone you love in the same room.

Because your wedding photographs shouldn't just show you what happened.

They should take you back.

That's why I photograph weddings the way I do.

Dynamic. Timeless. Honest.

A little messy.

A little wild.

Full of movement, emotion, culture, connection, and all the imperfect little moments that make your story yours.

I'm not here to make your wedding look like somebody else's.

I'm here to photograph the hell out of yours.

Come as you are.

Bring your people.

Bring your culture.

Bring your weirdness.

Bring your wild heart and fearless soul.

I'll bring the cameras.
