We are so lucky to have Jen in our lives! I say that because not only did she photograph our engagement and wedding I feel like she became a friend during the craziness of planning our wedding during COVID. It was so easy to get in touch with her to work through multiple reschedules and planning the perfect pictures. She captured the emotions of our wedding and our personalities perfectly! We've already scheduled our next session with Jen and I foresee many more in our future. To put it plainly - If you are looking for a photographer you need to book Jen! read more

I can't rave enough about Jen and her work. She makes the entire experience joyful and relaxed. I am a very particular person and have very high expectations and Jen exceeds all of my expectations every single time. She puts you at ease and makes it fun and carefree while capturing absolute magic. The maternity/family photos she took for us this past photo session are my absolute FAVORITE photos I have of my family, bar none. We make the drive from 2.5 hours away to see her and its worth the trip 10x over! read more

Amazing experience working with Jen. She was super sweet, very communicative, and easy to work with. Without her help, the engagement surprise would not have been nearly as magical. Highly recommend! read more

Jen exceeded my expectations! She was fun and very easy to work with! My young daughter took to her right away and she got the most amazing shots of our family! read more

Omg Jen is a magician! I'm not the most photogenic but she had us laughing and loving on each other so quick to create the most epic and perfect engagement photos. Not only that, she is incredibly responsive. I messaged her once on a weekend and she responded 3 hours later apologizing for being late to respond because she was working 5 WEDDINGS that weekend. The woman is a tiny, spunky machine! Highly recommend her services. read more

Jen was the best photographer ever! She captured my husband and I's wedding in the most magical way. The pictures were absolutely gorgeous and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Not to mention Jen was so accommodating and helpful during the entire process. In fact, she helped us find the perfect spot for our outdoor ceremony! We are thrilled that we found her and will definitely work with her again when we need photography services. read more

We recently hired Jen to take our engagement photos at the Biltmore Estate. Unfortunately it also happened to be one of the coldest days heading into fall but Jen was prepared and brought us each an electric hand warmer, great start to the photo shoot. Jen is extremely knowledgeable on the best places to take photos at the Biltmore Estate. She made it so much fun and relaxing I found myself falling deeper in love with my soulmate during the photo shoot and the pictures turned out great! Thank you Jen! Don read more

If there were more than five stars to give, I would. Jen is fabulous. She was very responsive, timely, thorough, and the booking and payment process was easy. I really felt she cared and got to know what I was looking for with our photography session. As someone who has traveled and booked photographers across the country, I can relate to the importance of positive Google and Yelp reviews since I am not from the area. All of the reviews were accurate. Look no further, Jen is a gem to work with and you will not be disappointed. read more

Jen took our wedding photos six years ago and we recently did a family shoot with her. She is fantastic to work with and we could not be happier with our photos! Looking forward to continuing to work with her to document our family over the years. read more

She has a lovely bubbly personality, and put everyone at ease, allowing us to relax and have fun.

Jen and Shawn were nothing short of incredible! They were energetic, funny, creative, and attentive. All of my bridesmaids and even wedding guests couldn't stop saying how amazing our wedding photographers were. We got our sneak peak and my oh my.... I cannot wait to see what the rest look like. I would HIGHLY recommend them!!!! read more

Love Jen, love her photos. She captured our wedding day in a way that was genuinely US. From the minute I reached out to her she was incredibly responsive, personable, and SO flexible during early pandemic unknowns. She had great ideas for photos and even went above and beyond suggesting potential locations when we had no clue where and how we were still going to get married. THANK YOU JEN! read more

Jen did an amazing job with our recent family photo shoot. She is very pleasant to work with and our pictures look gorgeous. Definitely recommend her!! read more

Jen is incredible - professional, responsive, friendly, and so talented. My fiancé and I chose Jen to be our wedding photographer for August 2021, and decided to get engagement photos taken this winter while we were in Asheville. I was initially a little reluctant... I don't really like having my photo taken and honestly was nervous about the whole process. But I'm SO glad my fiancé persuaded me - we couldn't be more happy with our photos, and Jen made it the most fun experience ever. She instantly had us laughing and feeling comfortable, and was really good at offering guidance while also keeping things natural. Jen found so many good spots for photos at my parents' farm - her eye for gorgeous lighting is just amazing. She's really an artist. Bottom line: working with Jen has been THE BEST experience so far, and I am so excited and thankful to have her shooting our wedding this year! read more

Jen did a multi-generational photoshoot during our family vacation to Asheville. Booking was so easy and communication always timely. Jen is very energetic and really brought out the best from everyone in our group, from the youngest to oldest, divas to camera-shy. She had photos back to us within days, and they were amazing! I would highly recommend Jen if you are looking for a great photographer. read more

Fantastic experience with Jen! Our team had a corporate retreat at the Omni and needed a local photographer to capture the moment that our team was all finally in-person. She did a mix of group shots, candids of us working and headshots. We so appreciate you getting us laughing and feeling photogenic! read more

Top 5 reasons to book Jen Yuson Photography RIGHT NOW! 5. Best value anywhere, even with travel - She is actually worth every penny (and MORE) that she costs, which unfortunately cannot be said for a lot of photographers today. Anyone can buy a camera, start a facebook page, label themselves a wedding photographer, and charge upwards of $1000/event for zero skills, so it's easy for people to be ployed into paying a lot for very little. With Jen you pay a very standard amount for THE ABSOLUTE BEST (read more about what makes her the best below.) After looking at a lot of local (overpriced) photographers, I decided it was more than worth it to pay for her to travel to me. I had a very tight budget and I am so glad I allocated what I did to her. 4. Personality wise, she wins. And so does her husband, if you are lucky enough to book the duo. 3. She is extraordinarily stealthy, which is pertinent in a wedding photographer. I don't know if you've ever been to a wedding where the photographer was all up in everyone's business, but I have, and reading a review about "how perfectly she tucks herself away" prior to booking her is actually what made me certain she was the one. 2. If you don't have a wedding coordinator and you're a little bit messy, she has all of the organizational skills ever needed to fix your right up. 1. The obvious, her pictures are stunning. I'm not sure if she was born to be a wedding photographer or if she has perfected herself to be the solution every bride needs, but either way, she is the one. Every single detail of everything she does is completely thought through, even down to her disc packaging (the stamps! the don't bend sticker! so glorious!) Thank you Jen (& Shawn!) for EVERYTHING. You blew my mind. read more

I'm so glad I found Jen to be my photographer! She is hilarious and kind and makes you feel perfectly at ease. She has taken some of my all time favorite photos and listens to exactly what kind and style of photos you want. I would work with Jen over and over again without hesitation. read more

Jen is a very pleasant to work with, and the result is amazing. I have 3 little boys and quit nervous about the session, but she made the session fun for them. Thanks Jen! read more

Jen and Shawn are delightful to work with - they're flexible, professional and right away you can tell that they care. They care about their craft and about helping you capture this important moment in your life from candid expressions in your vows to like vignettes of the ambience and mood of your reception. They are also really creative and adaptive - capturing elusive lighting in the gardens, magically making the uninvited gnats appear and finding perfect improvised props for a photo - and they'd never even been to my venue before. Jen made posing really easy (something I was nervous about) and her suggested improvised poses yielded some of my favorite photos. The day of your wedding can be a real whirlwind, and I can't describe how wonderful it felt to look through the photos afterward and have all those little details waiting there for me. Go ahead and get a hold of Jen before she's all booked up! read more

We are beyond thrilled with our photos and our experience with Jen and Shawn. Jen's photos capture the pure joy of the day and the shots are natural and relaxed. We will truly cherish the wedding photos forever. Best of all, Jen and Shawn are so darn like-able. We highly recommend this dynamic due! read more

Thrilled to be the first to review! I had a leg up on photographer research when it came time to get married because my brother and his wife hired Jen for their wedding last year, so i can technically provide a DOUBLE recommendation for Jen & Shawn, but I'll stick to detailing my wedding, which was in May 2012. First - Pre-planning! Jen and Shawn are extremely professional, organized, and thoughtful. Jen stayed in close contact in the months leading up to my wedding, emailing me regularly with pre-wedding hints sheets and questionnaires that actually helped me more than anything else to put the day's schedule together. She asked thorough questions to ensure that everyone near and dear to us made it into our formal portraits - I am blessed with a really huge family, so this was no small task! Jen talked me through all the small details that a stressed-out bride is likely to forget, putting me at ease and helping me to get more organized. She was also flexible and willing to work out additional package items and payment options as we approached the wedding. In short, it was really, really, really wonderful to work with her in getting ready for our wedding. Second - Picture time!My husband and I are both camera shy, him more so than me. As a result, we have maybe 6 pictures of the two of us together after being together for 3+ years. I told Jen that. I told her that my husband's totally a weirdo in front of a camera. I told her she's gotta be patient with us. (Her response? She just giggled and told me not to worry! haha!) - On the wedding day, Jen and Shawn were GREAT at keeping the groomsmen and groom at one end of our venue and me and the bridesmaids at the other end - no paths crossed! We got great family photos done before. I got beautiful pictures of my and my ladies and me and my family. Shawn took some of the most emotional - happy! -shots from the day of the groomsmen getting ready and my husband's family portraits. The guys all told me that he put them at such ease and was so much fun to have around that they felt totally natural, and I think that came across exquisitely. And somewhere in the middle of all that, they captured ALL the details of the wedding that slip by so quickly on the day. - When it came time for family portrait time, they kept everything moving quickly (thankfully - it was HOT), and took tons of different kinds of pictures, from traditional to more contemporary, black and white & color. - These two didn't even take a break. Like what?! Hours of picture-taking (as an erstwhile camerawoman at work, I know how back-breaking and eye-straining ti can be), and they kept going and going and going, not even stopping to eat. Third - Finished product. Would I give 5 stars if the pictures weren't fabulous?! Here's what you need to know: - They were beautiful. The light was lovely. The details were all there. They are preserved memories and moments that I can't wait to revisit over the years. - I boo-hooed so many times while looking at them. Yes, I was probably a little weepy anyway from post-wedding relief... but there were so many pictures from the reception that captured our friends and family looking so happy and so THEMSELVES. My favorite picture was one of my youngest brother dancing with his hands thrown up in the air. Try not to cry when you see your baby brother tearing up the dance floor at your wedding with a big ol' grin on his sweaty face! - Jen had them to me before we even got back from our honeymoon - like 10 days after the wedding, both online albums and DVD format - which made our mothers as happy as they were at the wedding, basically. Ordering online is easy and quick, with many options and products available right through the Web site. Fourth - Price and overall value. I think almost everyone has some sort of freak-out over the costs incurred during a wedding. Jen's pricing is excellent, particularly because her clients get her AND Shawn without the mark-up that all other photogs charge for a second. With Jen and Shawn, you're getting such an A++ duo who will, without doubt, ask you what you want, listen to you, and do everything they can to make sure your wedding experience is low-stress, professional, and beautifully preserved. read more

I can't recommend Jen enough! From first contact to final product, our experience was exceptional. Jen responded to my inquiry immediately, she was very helpful and thorough with all contact and information provided. Her proposal was detailed and her prices are very reasonable. She stayed in contact and met us at our vacation rental ready to go! My 2 year old was teething and not into a photo shoot...she handled it like a champ and made the entire experience go MUCH more smoothly than it could have gone. I am so appreciative of everything she did that day. I didn't have high expectations for the pictures because of my teething toddler but WOW. Jen is a magician. She gave us a priceless gift. The turnaround was insanely quick, and I couldn't choose pictures because she did such an amazing job. I bought every one!! Her website makes everything super easy, which I really appreciate. All that said, you will not be disappointed if you choose Jen as your photographer. read more

Jen has done a couple of photo shoots for me: a boudoir shoot (Ladies, I HIGHLY recommend doing one of these, if not for your partner, then for YOU!), a maternity shoot and a newborn shoot. Every single time I have worked with Jen it has been a truly enjoyable experience. She is easy going, very creative and extremely professional. Jen always has great ideas for the lighting, colors, background, etc... She is more than a photographer, she is an artist. When it came time to choose the photos, she made it really easy. The photo book I have from one of the shoots is absolutely perfect! The design of it, the colors used, the placement of the photos, all of it is beautiful. I love showing it to friends and family. She is always on top of things, too. After each of the shoots, the photos were ready quickly, and my family was able to see the maternity and newborn shoot photos so that they could order some if they wanted to. Of course, the boudoir photos I only shared with my husband and some close girlfriends! :) I plan to frame some of the photos from the newborn shoot as Christmas gifts. I cannot WAIT to see the reactions from the grandparents when they see the sweet photos of their baby grandson! Some of the maternity photos brought tears to the eyes of my family members, so I can only imagine what the newborn photos will do! Jen just has a beautiful way of capturing her subjects. I highly recommend using Jen as your photographer. You will not be disappointed. You will, however, LOVE the photos she creates and enjoy looking at the photos as a way to relive the event/special time in your life. read more

I cannot recommend Jen Yuson highly enough, and my wedding isn't for another 10 months! We shot our engagement portraits in November, and it was a wonderful preview for how great our wedding photos will be! From the beginning, it has been great to work with Jen, from setting up our contract (she has great pricing on packages and lots of a la carte options and add-ons) to an engagement outfit/style guide, to getting the pictures very quickly after the shoot. She took tons of photos, so there are plenty of great shots to choose from (she's making a guest book for us for the wedding!) - there's great variety among all the pictures; we did two separate shoots, her idea! She and Shawn are extremely creative and are experts at finding great spots whereever you choose to have your photos done - she even suggested a great place out in the woods with a beautiful creek for us to wade in, since she knows my fiance is outdoorsy! (and invited our dogs along!) My fiance is very uncomfortable in front of cameras typically, but Jen and Shawn made us both VERY comfortable; we had a great time, and it definitely shows in all the pictures! They even shared some of their own photography tips with us! Basically, Jen has got to be one of the best wedding photographers out there, a great value; she captured both mine and my fiance's personalities, and we cannot wait to see what else she'll come up with for the wedding. I hadn't even considered photo save-the-dates until now, but now with so many great pictures, we'll definitely be using them! read more

We planned a small destination wedding in Asheville and found Jen's artful photography on her website very appealing. What we could not have possibly imagined (since we were from out of state) is what a dream Jen would be to work with. She literally worked all angles of the outdoor mountaintop venue and then back at the hotel - both outdoors and in the restaurant for the reception dinner table and cake - all with a bubbly and friendly demeanor with the direction of a serious pro. She showed genuine passion for making us comfortable and feeling fantastic during our most special day - and captured the best of all of it. We recommend Jen Yuson Photography in the most enthusiastic way possible! read more

Jen did an amazing job with our engagement portraits, and we're thrilled she's going to be shooting our wedding in a month or so. We got an array of photos in lots of different locations in our neighborhood, and despite what we thought would be debilitating/potentially photo-ruining heat (it was over 100 degrees outside) during the shoot, they all turned out wonderfully. We got one terrific collage of both of us in different poses in a park and it looks fantastic! Jen captured both our personalities, separately and as a couple, with terrific precision. I can't say enough great things about her and her work! read more

Jen photographed our wedding in Asheville last month and the pictures are WONDERFUL! She did such an amazing job. The shots were perfect in every way. She really captured who we are as a couple and we will enjoy looking at the pictures for years to come! The ceremony was in the Blue Ridge Mountains on a farm (Yesterday Spaces. Check it out!). We didn't do much decorating outside because we just wanted a natural setting. And why dress something up that's already beautiful?! Jen got some amazing shots all around the farm and really used every resource around her. Such an eye! It's really amazing to see her images. She's also extremely personable, works really well with family and guests. She's a delight to work with and we are EXTREMELY happy with our photos! Hire her!!! You will be glad you did! read more

I knew I wanted beautiful pictures to capture my first pregnancy and Jen was amazing! She had so many ideas for photos from in the nursery to outside! She had my husband and I envision what we wanted our pictures to look like and made that a reality!! Being in my late stage of pregnancy I was worried about not looking my best but Jen somehow made these photos so flattering!! I was amazed! Jen makes the atmosphere so comforting... I'm so glad I bared the belly! I will cherish those pictures forever! I can't wait for her to photograph our son! read more

We received our photos from our Sept. 8 wedding from Jen Yuson Photography within a few weeks of the event and found them all to be lovely and so numerous that it is astounding! Jen and Shawn took photos of our friends and family that expressed their uniqueness and personalities and captured wedding events within the context of the beautiful setting. They really provided a diverse suite of pictures (wide-angle, close-up, portraits, candids, action, black and white, and color) that tell the story of the day and our emotions as we experienced it. In addition, the book of photos that Jen designed is so creative and touching that we are going to order it despite it not being in our plans (we thought we could do one just as good ourselves..ha! I don't think so!). We could not possibly be happier with the end-products. We also couldn't be happier with Jen before, during, and after the wedding and with Shawn joining her to shoot the event. Jen's organization in preparation for the event helped us to be more organized in general. She continued to be on top of it when she and and Shawn arrived early to find interesting places with beautiful light to serve as the setting for portraits. Throughout the somewhat harrowing experience of waiting for the weather to clear before going through with our outdoor ceremony, Jen and Shawn sought ways to utilize the time, helped us communicate with guests and other vendors while we stayed hidden, and kept their and our spirits high. We were lucky to have people that we like so much as our photographers because we waited in a cabin with them for a long time before the weather cleared! Once the day's events finally got underway, Jen and Shawn really swung into action and captured all of the compressed events beautifully. They were a joy to have present at our wedding and we will make every effort to be sure that they are there for future special events. read more

I hired Jen to shoot our engagement pictures in May of 2012 based on her portfolio from her website, since I was not unable to meet in person. I absolutely LOVED working with her! She had never visited our location (family lake house) and automatically scooped out some beautiful locations around the lake and property. She was full of ideas and made my fiance and I feel comfortable the entire time. She made us laugh and smile with ease. The photos came out just as beautiful as we anticipated! She was super fast with blogging our session and editing our pictures. Jen is wonderful! read more
