About

I am fascinated by human connection and inspired by travelling the world. I feel at my most creative when I get to blend those two passions!

I have had the privilege of connecting with people around the world, having and witnessing incredible experiences, from connecting with 10 other Canadians in Northern Thailand and ending up camping on the top of a mountain, creating projection art in an art studio in Nicaragua and meeting other photographers and swapping stories over coffee in Barcelona. I love that instant connection you can build with other humans, you know when you have those raw and honest life chats when time seems to stand still, or you realize you have a 6th degree of separation.

Not only do I insist on connecting with everyone that I meet and work with, but I love documenting that connection between others.

I’ve never been a fan of routine, I love when every day holds a new experience or a different set of tasks. Shooting people, learning their story, and photographing weddings definitely keeps life interesting! So what I love most is when couples create a wedding celebration that is unique to them, breaking some rules and doing what they really want. The best part about capturing less traditional weddings is that there are no rules. I’ve had couples scrap all their wedding plans to just have 4 friends accompany them at City Hall, another to spend 2 weeks in Jamaica and get married on the beach, another couple were married at their cottage in the pouring rain with 29 of their favourite people.

On the short, I like to describe my style as directed documentary; I try not to interfere too much with the flow of your day and document how it naturally happens. I like to document your day as it happens, the energy, and the mood. I’m always shooting, all those little in-between, unnoticed moments when you connect with one another, that you are your truest self. The connection that you have with your loved ones is real and I want to document that. In that moment. For you hold onto. To remember this moment in time.

From the moment that you reach out, I am invested. I aim to be invested in you just as much as you in me. This means by the time the wedding day rolls in, we’ve spent time together, chatted about all the magic that is going to unfold and we’ve created more than just a photographer-client connection. We truly are friends.

xo, Jenn

I am not totally sure how to put in to words just how amazing Jenn and her photography is. I came across Jenn’a Instagram page two years prior to our engagement and instantly knew that she was someone we should consider when the day finally came. From the moment we met her for coffee at the Gladstone we knew that she was ‘it’ and jumped at the chance to have her shoot our wedding day. Working with Jenn was an absolute dream, and every single one of our guests complimented her professionalism and her TALENT! She managed to capture so many beautiful moments, and truly created a story that we could look back on with joy. We chose Jenn because her style did not involve a ton of posed photos and instead she focused on a natural documentary style that captured moments as they happened and this is exactly what our photos evoke. We had an intimate wedding with primarily family and a few very close friends, and she managed to capture all of the love that everyone was showering on us so beautifully. We are so incredibly grateful for her. Thank you Jenn.

We hired Jenn as our wedding photographer. She is fantastic!! Her photos are incredibly beautiful! She did a great job capturing all the amazing moments at our wedding and she was super quick in sending us our gallery following the wedding. (In fact, she sent us a mini gallery the day after the wedding so we would have some photos to share with family and friends right away). We were very impressed with her work ethic and her photos. We would definitely recommend her!

Photography was one of the most important aspects of our wedding day. Once the day is over, the photos are what we would have to look back on. It was important for us to find someone who shared our vision for the day, but would also be able to give us some direction and suggestions as needed throughout the day. I found Jennifer through Instagram. I was instantly captivated by her work. When I first met with her, I described her photos as, "organic" which, in my mind, is a high compliment. She makes everything seem effortless which speaks to the quality of her work and the experience of working with her. Her photos are stunning, the colours and depth are beautiful and rich and while people are largely her subject matter, she somehow adds a little something extra to each photo that we aren't bringing to the photos ourselves. Jenn was willing to take all the posed family photos we wanted but was constantly snapping away all day long to capture those truly special candid shots. Most of my favourites come from the candid shots she took without us really realizing. With these shots, she was able to capture the magic of our day forever. She presented us with a gallery of photos that highlighted how very happy we were on our wedding day. Most importantly, she was able to document our day and love in a way that was moving and authentic. We loved working with Jenn and can't wait for the next big milestone in our lives so we can hang with her again and have her put our lives into print in the most beautiful way imaginable. Thank you, Jenn! xo

From the moment we met Jenn we knew she was the perfect one to capture all of the special moments of our engagement shoot and wedding. She is the best because she takes the time to actually find out who you are as a couple to make sure that you feel comfortable on the day of, so she can capture all the perfect moments of you and your love. She is very organized and professional and was a huge help including helping us to come up with a timeline for the day of. She is so kind and genuine, she truly felt like one of the bridesmaids while we were getting ready. Everyone was so comfortable and clicked with her instantly. Since getting our photos back we have gone through them probably 100 times and each time we are just so thankful of the little things she captured that we didn't even realize were happening! It's an incredible, crazy day and I wouldn't have wanted anyone else there to document it.

Jenn is a true professional and master at her craft! We were lucky enough to have Jenn capture our day and we were not disappointed. She answered all of our questions leading up,was flexible with her package to really personalize it to our day and even gave us suggestions of how to create a timeline that really worked. she made us feel incredibly comfortable and kept things light and fun. We could not be happier with our wedding photos!

Jenn has such an eye for detail, and is so incredibly personable. Overall, her work, correspondence, and level of professionalism was outstanding! Jenn works very hard to learn about her couples, and is very focused on capturing natural emotion / raw chemistry between the people she is shooting. Jenn had us totally relaxed in our engagement session, nothing felt posed or awkward. She encouraged us to just "go for a walk" or "chat with each other", at times we would really forget she was there - this really showed through in the photos she took of us. All of our family members and friends commented on how natural our expressions were, and how strong Jenn's photos were. Jenn really captured us as we were in our space, with each other - I believe that is what (time & time again) makes her photos totally powerful! Jenn was more than a photographer to both Storm and I leading up to our wedding day, she was a friend. Jenn sent us a hand written card in the mail, and often would share interesting blog posts/ ideas she had for shoots, or post them online. Jenn is dedicated to her work, her online portfolios are strong, and she works hard to organize her images creatively. As a bride to be I loved following her accounts (so did my husband and all of our friends) we couldn't help but daydream about the magical moments she would capture our day. On our wedding day, Jenn seemed incredibly relaxed - she was like a fly on the wall, that managed to be there for every perfect moment, at exactly the right millisecond, to capture all of the most natural and emotionally charged expressions. What really blew us away when we received our gallery was not only how raw, natural, and alive all of us looked in the photos, but how carefully planned and well thought our her picture planes were. All images were incredibly creative, and flawlessly organized within each frame. How she manages to take note of / plan out all of those frames in the milliseconds between moments is beyond me! Only a truly talented professional is capable of such a feat. Jenn was also incredibly kind and reassuring the day of as she photographed friends and family. She was quick with our group shots, she knew exactly how to organize people/ direct them in an extremely polite & efficient manner. She also worked to shoot many candid shots while we were organizing and moving from point A - point B. Everyone commented on how easy and relaxing, and enjoyable Jenn made it to have wedding photos done. Nobody had sore faces from fake smiling, or felt uncomfortable, or sore from having to stand or pose for long periods of time. Everyone just felt happy and relaxed, and were like "oh okay are we done already!?" My bridesmaids and I continually joke about how "Jenn is a wizard" she made us all look so good. It really is a great feeling to be able to share photos that you know everyone feels good about, and looks so naturally great in! I would recommend Jenn to anyone, she really provided us with moments we otherwise would have never seen, and has allowed us to cherish our day, every day since! Jenn understands the value that photographs have. The morning after our wedding day, I already had a few images that she was too excited not to share with me right away, it filled my heart with overwhelming joy, and made me feels so incredibly lucky. From our wedding day - the day our gallery was ready Jenn was always in touch, she was very quick, and even went out of her way to devote time outside of her busy work to organize a file of photos of my Husbands Grandfather (immediately after our wedding day) when she heard he had passed away. She emailed us a link of photos of our Poppy from our wedding day within 24 hours of his passing. This is just one small example of the many different ways Jenn went above and beyond while working with us. She has such a heart of gold, incredible talent, and a level of professionalism that is hard to come by in this industry, she truly cares for her clients!
