My husband and I had JennaBeth shoot our 1st year Anniversary Party (which we had in lieu of a wedding) at Wayfare Tavern in San Francisco. JennaBeth is an absolute professional. After making sure she was in our budget, she scheduled a phone call with me and my husband to discuss what we were expecting and to find out more about our background. We booked her a few months (maybe 6 or so? before our event). A few weeks before our event she touched base with us again with her event information sheet so she could find out the details and timelines of our event and our portrait list. We worked back and forth and she gave us a lot of insight about the process to tell us what was and wasn't feasible (and why) given our event timeline so we could make adjustments to when specific pictures would be taken and when specific things (like cake cutting and toasts) should be arranged since we only booked her for 4 hours and not a full day. The day of JennaBeth came early and prepared and our family portraits went very smoothly. JennaBeth has a great eye for detail. Our friends and family didn't even really notice there was a photographer there. In the end, our portraits came a little bit after the original estimated time frame but the pictures more than made up for the little bit of waiting that we did. Totally worth every penny we spent (which was very reasonable for the quality of the photos). Both of our families and me and my husband were blown away by the pictures we received- my mom can't get over how good they are and she doesn't like most photos! JennaBeth really currated the photos she took and we saw only the best of the best and don't feel like anything was missed. The lighting and mood throughout all of the photos were consistent and amazing - everyone looked great. I would definitely recommend JennaBeth again and if we ever need an event or family photographer we will definitely keep her in mind. read more

Jenna Beth Photography - photo by JennaBeth Photography - Event Photography Near Me

See all

To start, I had twins and had my hands full, so I lagged on scheduling my newborn photos. I called Jenna later than I should have, but she swooped in and saved the day. I wanted posed newborn photos, and even though the twins were already 3 months old, she made them look like freshly born peas in a pod, just as I asked. Her photos are stunning, she has an amazing way with babies, and knows all the tricks of the trade. She's my go-to Photographer when it comes to documenting the precious moments of my kids (and dogs!). read more

This review is long overdue. I had been wanting to do something different and special for my beau's bday but was nervous about getting photos taken. If you are anything like me, posing for photos is about the equivalent to going to the dentist. Jenna managed to create an open relaxed atmosphere to make the experience enjoyable and highly successful. We genuinely had fun and she made me forget to be shy. She is talented. But there is no need to say that, her photos are an obvious tell. What is truly special about Jenna is that she will take an awkward experience and turn it into something you want to gloat to your friends about. I used her for your a-typical photo opp - boudoir shoot for a calendar, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Even the beau wants to make it an annual affair!. Thank you Jenna! read more

All 5 star reviews!! Hmm... must tell you something. Jenna is FANTASTIC! I was referred to her by a friend and used her to do engagement pictures and for our wedding. She is so sweet and makes you feel instantly comfortable, no matter how awkward modeling for pics may be. Her photography style captured us so naturally. I love that nothing was too posed, but more just documenting our relationship. My husband and I got so many compliments on the engagement pictures. Our families seriously wanted them all... not a bad picture in the bunch. One friend told us "you look like the couple that comes in a new picture frame." We thought that was pretty awesome. Still waiting for our wedding day pics but based off of the engagement session and her talent in general I have no doubt they will be stunning. read more

Jenna's gorgeous photos are now scattered throughout my home. The overall experience was great, especially when you feel like you're not the most photogenic person out there (insert awkward smile here). Jenna is just the sweetest, making you feel at ease and has such a great eye. My dog made it into our engagement photos and he just couldn't sit still, itching to get to Jenna! Every time I see the pictures, it reminds me of how fun the day was, how excited I am to get married (T-11 days!) and how happy I am to have beautiful photos that will last a lifetime. read more

I should have written this review years ago! Jenna has photographed our family MANY times and we're always thrilled with her work. She's wonderful with children and can even manage to get a smile out of a cranky 2 year old. As I go through her photos looking for the perfect Christmas card, my only problem is there are WAY too many great pictures. If you get a chance to use Jenna for any occasion, do it! read more

Jenna Beth is hands down the best photographer I have ever come across. She is meticulous, patient and passionate about her work. I have used her photography expertise for both personal and business projects. We recently had a baby boy and my wife and I had Jenna Beth take newborn pics of our son. I was blown away with how great they turned out. We have pictures now that will last forever and are so amazing. The shoot didn't take as long as I expected, but she definitely got the shots she came for. We have hundreds of perfect pics. On the business side, I used Jenna Beth to take pictures of my salon and stylists working. I use the pictures on my website and in print materials. Having someone who can deliver consistent, extremely high quality imagery is vital for what I do. I recommend Jenna Beth to anyone looking for the best photographer in San Francisco. read more

Jenna took my engagement photos and it am beyond THRILLED with the results. When we began, I was a little nervous in front of the camera. That unease quickly went away, thanks to Jenna. She took the time to get to know my fiance and I. She also watched how we naturally interacted with each other. As a result, we had a blast taking the photos. It was obvious that Jenna truly loves what she does. She seemed genuinely happy and excited for us, and provided great feedback as she shot. Jenna took us to numerous locations to take photos. I received a highlight or sneak peak of a few of her favorites of us in just a day. She also created a gorgeous slideshow set to music. It literally brought tears to my eyes. It is so special. The best part about it is how she captured my relationship perfectly. The photos are vibrant and beyond gorgeous, but they also look natural and sincere. She managed to capture anytime a glance or laugh passed between me and my fiance. I truly could not be more pleased. JennaBeth Photography will be a business I will use again and again. I know she will capture my family as we continue to grow. I cannot recommend her services enough! You will not regret choosing JennaBeth! read more

Picking out a wedding photographer is a difficult thing. It's a big decision because there are no second chances to get it right. You put yourself in the hands of a stranger to capture the essence of the most important day of your life and translate it to a digital image. We picked Jenna because the look of her portfolio matched the vibe that we were looking for. After talking to her on the phone, we knew we had our photographer. She was up beat, smart, and a real pleasure to talk to. She took us through everything we needed to know and we never felt like she was trying to up-sell us on things we didn't want. Her camera skills are top notch, but I think what truly sets her apart is her editing. Every shot we saw was beautifully cropped and the colors were great. She has been absolutely wonderful in communication before and after the event and I would definitely recommend her to everyone I know. read more

Jenna is amazing! She photographed our engagement pictures and our wedding and did an excellent job. Jenna is a pleasure to work with and she is such a talented and creative photographer. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone! read more

My husband and I have had Jenna Beth photograph our son twice now, most recently his 1year shoot. Jenna is so cool! She's patient ( with both my son & myself), fun, innovative and super talented. She even had this little Elmo toy for the end of her camera to get his attention! We did a few different looks and locations around the yard, the cutest ideas coming from Jenna Beth which was nice! It's so great to have a photographer know what will look good and how to catch those sweet moments on film! We will be using her for years to come and I already recommend her to everyone I know! read more

What can I say, Jenna is as good as it gets! First of all, I think her work speaks for itself. We looked through countless photos during our vendor search and Jenna's immediately popped out as different from the standard stylemepretty photos (oversaturated for my taste). Her and her team were some of the most pleasant, friendly, and professional people I've ever had the pleasure of working with and in the end we got way more high quality photos than I was expecting. All I can say is Jenna thanks so much, your photos were amazing, and take a look at her body of work and evaluate for yourself! read more

As a kid my brother and I looked at our baby pictures ALL THE TIME! We were fortunate enough to have had professional pictures at various ages throughout our first year of life and then annual photos taken. So when I became pregnant, naturally I wanted the same thing for my baby. I mentioned to Jenna that this was important to me and she sat down and put together a few package options for me with the best times (maternity, newborn, 5-6 months etc.) for capturing those moments and put together a payment plan that worked for both of us. When it came time for the maternity photo shoot I was feeling less than pretty. I was so nervous. But Jenna put my husband and I at ease right away and even included our pup Dante in the shots. Jenna came to our house and worked with natural light in our own space - bedroom, backyard, and a great spot down the street for a bit of a Mediterranean feel. It was quick, painless, didn't feel rushed, and Jenna had us laughing and having fun together. A few weeks later, I get a link from Jenna with a sideshow of our photos set to music. I cried!  They were beautiful!  I looked beautiful in the photos thanks to Jenna. And the keepsake of this beautiful sideshow and photos is a treasure. Jenna has done newborn, 3 month,  9 month, 1 year, and 2 year sessions for me. And for the 1 year we hired her to take photos at the party in addition to our session. She has come to our house and has met us on location. Each time I get her package in the mail it is like Christmas. The digital prints come beautifully packaged with a gorgeous ribbon or tie. And the photos are a work of art!  Their is not a bad one in the bunch! I can look at them for hours!  She truly captures the spirit of the person and the energy and connection of the family. When you look at Jenna's work you see a window into the soul of the people she captures. She is always on time. Always cheerful. She has a great rapport with kids. I would highly recommend Jenna as a photographer!  You will be getting the best! read more

My husband and I couldn't be happier with our engagement and wedding photos by JennaBeth Photography! At our first meeting, Jenna was super friendly and engaging, and I could tell right away what an experienced photographer she was. Our wedding day felt like it went by so quickly and I remember reflecting afterwards and thinking, "Oh, I wish I had captured that moment!" but when we got our wedding photos, Jenna had already captured all of that and so much more! Jenna has such a keen eye for detail and made each photo session very comfortable and fun. I felt very relaxed at our wedding and was impressed by how calmly and efficiently Jenna managed the wedding day portraits for all the different groups of people involved. I am thrilled to revisit our engagement and wedding photos every time and loved having Jenna to capture these milestones. THANK YOU for the gorgeous memories! read more

I think the bottom line with Jenna is her work speaks for itself. She is a truly talented photographer. If you want sharp, perfectly exposed and beautifully captured moments, Jenna is who you want to work with. Beyond her photographs, she is professional, comfortable, happy, and all around easy to work with. She captured our wedding day, engagement photos and my boudoir shoot, better than we could have ever asked for and I look forward to having her photograph all of our bigger life moments! Simply put, she's amazing! read more

I was WAY overdue for some professional head shots for work (you can only re-purpose facebook photos so many times). Jenna did a great job and found ways to get some really creative shots. My pictures say I am professional but not stuffy - score! Now I have oodles of pictures to choose from for my professional events. I wouldn't hesitate to use her again for my photography needs. read more

Jenna is so wonderful. She took family photos of us at Crissy Field that looked amazing. The most challenging part was we had a 2.5 year old and a 10 month old to manage throughout this shoot. She was perfect with the kids and they loved her. She was really sweet and knew just how to engage with the kids and get them to smile for the camera....and when they were doing their own thing she was totally patient and got those shots as well. All our 2.5 year wanted to do was run and splash in the puddles and the pics Jenna took of this were some of the best in the set! At the end of the session, I can honestly say I was not quite sure what we would walk away with...it felt like nobody could stay still long enough to get "that picture." All I can say was I was blown away when we got our proofs. There were tons of amazing photos. She captured some really sweet moments between our family that I did not even remember during the process of trying to contain everyone. We can't wait til the next Jenna Beth shoot and look forward to having her document our family as it grows! read more

We hired JennaBeth for several functions, including: engagement photo session, save the date card design, special event photos, and place card design. We could not have been happier with the final product. Jenna and Liz are awesome, and very easy to work with. We intend to use them again, and would reccomend them to anyone looking for excellent service at a reasonable price. read more

Jenna designed and made my custom business cards and they turned out just the way I had wanted them, great job!

We decided to take the plunge and have pics taken with our 16 month old daughter. I am AMAZED and so incredibly happy with the work Jenna did. She captured our daughter in the most perfect way and was wonderful to work with both before and after the shoot. She had us all laughing and smiling and knew when to take a minute and let us just walk and interact and then did her magic. The images we have are beautiful, priceless and I can't wait to work with her again. read more

We recently had a family photoshoot with Jenna Beth Photography. Jenna was professional and easy to work with from start to finish. She's friendly and patient with kids and adults alike. The photos are fantastic! We will recommend her and plan to work with her again! read more

JennaBeth is fabulous! Jenna and Liz are each extremely talented and good at what they do. My only regret after our 200-person wedding in downtown San Francisco is that I did not hire them to do everything - planning and photography. (Note to all future brides - hiring a day-of coordinator at the minimum is worth it...as soon as we got to our reception I wished I had). Jenna, the photographer, has an incredible eye and takes gorgeous photos. I was not disappointed with a single picture. And Liz's business sense and organizational skills will put any bride at ease. Together they make an excellent team! read more

Jenna is an amazing photographer and I highly recommend her! She takes gorgeous photos and really has an eye for capturing fun shots. Jenna and her assistant Emily were so easy to work with on my wedding day and were flexible when things went slightly off plan here and there. They helped everyone feel at ease and made picture time really enjoyable. Jenna is super nice and was very easy to work with. She responded in timely manners and really helped guide us through the process. We can't wait to see the final pictures - from the small bit we've seen so far, they look amazing! If you're considering Jenna Beth Photography - don't hesitate to hire her! read more
