We had an excellent experience with Jenny Dee Photography. Jenny and George (Jenny's husband and assistant photographer) were communicative and helpful in the months and weeks leading up to our wedding reception. Their template for our "desired and must-get" photos list was very helpful for organizing, and our phone conversations with them were great for figuring out what we wanted and hammering out logistics. On the day of the wedding, we had morning activities and an evening reception. Jenny and George were on time and enthusiastic for everything. They were flexible as our schedule shifted slightly throughout the day, and they were very active in making sure we got all the photos from our list. Now that we have the final photos, we can also say that we are thrilled with the results. Great candids, great staged photos, and we really like the editing style. Overall: would highly recommend for your wedding or event. read more

Our experience with JennyDee Photography was excellent from our initial emails all the way until we received the final photos. Jenny and Geo (her husband and assistant photographer) are very responsive, professional, and committed to providing you all the shots you want. My husband and I hired JennyDee Photography for both our Engagement and Wedding photography and we could not be more pleased. We had multiple calls in the months leading up to the wedding to align on what we wanted, discussed the overall wedding timeline, and provided the list of shots we wanted. Their website also has example timelines for photography, which were very helpful as we planned our day and allowed us to not compress everything too much. Working with Jenny and Geo is also a great experience. They are organized, funny, kind, and encouraging -- they will help pose you as needed, but generally allow for a very genuine capture of the day. They are also very organized and will help keep things moving efficiently without being overbearing -- I could trust that they would get all the shots we needed without feeling like I needed to check in, and both posed and candid shots were phenomenal. Finally, all the photographs we received from JennyDee Photography (in less than a month!) are joy and whimsy personified. They managed to capture the color, vibrancy, and happiness of that day in the photographs -- I couldn't stop smiling the whole time I reviewed the gallery. The photography and editing style is so vibrant, genuine and fun in a sea of very muted photography nowadays-- I will lovingly look at the pictures for years to come. I could not recommend them more highly. Photo Credits: @JennyDeePhotography read more

It's hard to describe how strongly we recommend choosing Jenny Dee Photography for not only a wedding, but for any other special event or occasion. The photos are phenomenal and we are blown away by the quality and thought put into the lighting, composition, edits, etc. Jenny and Geo were professional, courteous, organized, forward thinking and creative. On top of all that, they were easy to collaborate and get along with. Their communication throughout the planning process was prompt and thorough. They were also flexible and open to our ideas. Not only did they take incredible pictures, but they surprised us with great shots of the venue, flowers, decor, and candids of our guests having fun. They did an incredible job capturing all aspects of the wedding. - Kevin and Marcy read more

We loved working with Jenny and George for our engagement and wedding photos. They were very responsive, punctual, and helpful. It was a 100 degree day when we did engagement photos and I was starting to feel lightheaded and they brought us water. They were very considerate and diligent at our wedding and the photos turned out great! (see examples) read more

Jenny and her husband (and assistant photographer) Geo were amazing photographers for our wedding day! They were extremely communicative, friendly, efficient, and thorough both in the planning process and on the day of the wedding. Jenny and Geo sent us documents to complete that would help make taking photos on the wedding day run smoothly and used that to discuss an overall plan during our planning meeting about one month prior to our wedding day. On the day of the wedding, they were on-time and followed our photography plan to a tee. We were actually so efficient because of their plan that we were able to take even more photos than we had originally planned in our short 2 hour session! We just received the photos, and they are beautiful and vibrant, and they truly captured the spirit of the day. I also found the way they do pricing (hourly, rather than packages) to be really ideal for couples who didn't want or need a full-day of photographing like us. I highly recommend Jenny and Geo to any couples looking for fun, vibrant photos and extremely clear and efficient communication in their photographers! read more

My husband and I spent countless hours looking online for a photographer that was both talented and quirky enough to capture our traditional wedding that had a few twists. Neither of us are particularly stuffy, traditional people, and we are so thankful to have found Jenny and her husband George to photograph our wedding. They are so funny, kind, and easy to work with. They made our wedding photos, even the stuffy family portraits, fun. We loved their photography of our wedding so much, we recently hired them to do a "trash the dress" session in SF. Again, they were amazing to work with! We can't recommend Jennydee Photography enough!!! read more

Jenny photographed our wedding at the Outdoor Art Club in Mill Valley. She was very easy to work with and the photographs turned out better than we could have asked for! She has a particularly good eye for candid photos during the reception and dancing. It was great having both Jenny and her husband at the wedding. They were able to capture multiple perspectives throughout the event and it was especially helpful for coordinating big family group photos. read more

Jenny and her husband (her second photographer) were super easy to work with, prompt and helpful. We were married in November of 2019. We met with them in person two times before the big day. They helpfully gave us list of proposed "must have" shots - we selected the ones we wanted and they were able to capture all of our "must have" photos. They arrived when they said they would and departed as agreed. Jenny was great and our photographs - well edited and curated were received by January! Such a quick turnaround. Jenny and George were both fun and laid back. Highly recommend them! read more

I was so glad when I met one of the best photographers in the Bay Area! We immediately felt like friends after the first meeting. They were very professional and personable. Jenny and Geo both explained and guided us through the process of wedding photography. They also covered every aspect of wedding photography and made it easy for us during the whole planning process. I love candid shots and they were able to take a ton of beautiful pictures throughout the day. Everyone at the wedding felt comfortable with Jenny and Geo. It felt like friends that were there taking pictures and were not intrusive during the ceremony. The photographs were more than we expected and every photo was beautifully taken and edited. Jenny was able to get us our pictures online and via usb very fast. Jenny is one of the most easy going and personable photographers I have met. The moments she captures are beautiful and not heavily edited. If you want a rad photographer with a great personality look no further. read more

Jenny did an amazing job photographing our wedding, on top of being flexible with all the COVID-related changes. She delivered our photos within a month and they were terrific, with lots of bright colors that captured the spirit of the day. She and her husband/assistant were also just nice, friendly people who were a joy to have around us on our wedding day. Highly recommended! read more

As experienced by many engaged couples who planned to get married in 2020, COVID-19 ripped our plans apart. We were left scrambling to find a new photographer a few weeks before our wedding date in October 2020. Even though I thought it was a low chance that Jenny would be available, I still sent an inquiry and I am so glad I did. Jenny and her husband, Geo, pulled through and helped to capture our intimate ceremony in such an amazing way. After the initial inquiry, we had an introductory call followed by timely e-mail communications. A few days before the big day, we had a video conference to prepare and go over the logistics. Jenny and Geo answered our questions and worked with us to ensure the timing for everything was appropriate and that the photos we had in mind would be captured. Jenny provided a sneak peek of the photos about a week after the ceremony and they were gorgeous. We received numerous compliments from our family and friends. Jenny remained in contact and provided updates on editing the rest of our photos, which we received about a month after the ceremony.  We had a great experience working with Jenny and Geo. Their easy-going, fun, and flexible attitude helped to relieve some of the stress that comes with planning and executing a wedding. Jenny is a talented photographer - just take a look at her portfolio! We highly recommend Jenny for your next event or photo shoot. read more

Jenny D was fantastic! We were so lucky that she was available for our June wedding. My wife and I met Jenny and her assistant / husband to get to know each other, describe our hopes and must-haves, and get some advice from them. They gave us some worksheets to work out the photoshoot timing and plan out who would be in all the photos. During a call a week before the wedding they easily agreed to also be part of our ceremony by taking our polaroid camera to capture mid-ceremony group shots that we then locked into a time capsule. They were a calm energy on the big day and were friendly and efficient; perfect for herding wedding guests on a stressful day! Jenny sent us the first amazing photos on our honeymoon which we kept pulling up and looking at throughout our trip. read more

We hired Jenny and her husband/second photographer for both engagement and wedding photos. They are friendly and kind people who were very easy to work with. They were also very helpful during the planning process. Thank you Jenny and Geo! read more

Jenny did an incredible job with the photography for our wedding - we are so happy that we chose her. She made the whole process smooth, easy to understand, and fun. The photos turned out spectacularly. She and her husband even stayed later than we had planned when the wedding day schedule was running behind, and captured some beautiful memories that otherwise would have been missed! We are super grateful. Would highly recommend her! read more

We had them for our engagement shooting photos in a golf club court environment. jenny and her husband showed up on time and discussed details and ideas with us. They were very professional and friendly. We received our edited photos less than a month and we absolutely loved them. It totally worths the price. We recommend them to our friends as well. read more

Jenny and her husband/assistant George did a fantastic job with both our engagement and wedding photos last year. They were really flexible (for example, our engagement photo session was rained out, but rescheduling was easy) and helpful about making suggestions for the photos and about more general wedding logistics. My husband and I are both pretty introverted, and so we weren't sure what it would be like to work with a professional photographer. Jenny was great at making us feel comfortable about getting our pictures taken for an hour or more at a time. They were also kind enough to come up to Sacramento for our wedding (we did our engagement photos in the Bay Area), and we Skyped with them before each session to get to know each other and make plans. We wanted photos that showed our personalities and didn't look like they'd been processed through a million Instagram filters. The finished files from Jenny are beautiful photos, and you get allllll of them -- a LOT of them are fantastic, but you also get to laugh at the ones where you're making a goofy Muppet face or look kinda pissed at your mom (whoops, don't know what that was about). We've used Jenny's photos as framed prints, in an album, and on our Christmas cards. She turned the finished files around quickly too -- we got our engagement photos after a few weeks, and the wedding photos after a month, but she also posts teasers on her Facebook and blog ahead of time with some of the best shots. Wedding photography is expensive, but we definitely got our money's worth! Jenny was by far our favorite vendor to work with. read more

Jenny and her partner photographed our wedding in June 2013. They were fantastic! Very professional and very friendly. When I saw the photographs I cried once or twice. SO many moments they caught! Jenny took the time to find out about us as a couple and walked us through the process to think about what photos we wanted to be sure that we captured. We also had the photo booth. These photos are so amazing and make everyone that sees them smile. I recommend you consider this option for your big day! I really like that Jenny gives you all the photos on a CD and you can do whatever you want with them. Being a former designer I knew that no one but me could design and wedding album that would make me happy. Getting the photos for such a great price made it possible for me to control how to print them and I got to design my own wedding book! Can't recommend Jennydee photography enough. I have said it before and I will say it again, thank you for all your hard work! read more

Finding the right wedding photographer can be a daunting experience in that there are so many to choose from. We really lucked out in finding Jenny Dee. We wanted to find a photographer that was easy to work with (check!), responsive (double check), not crazy expensive (check!), had a fun and casual style (definitely, check!), ....and had a "good eye" to capture those special moments (triple check!). Jenny Dee is all those things. Jenny and her husband, George, are a great team....and it truly felt as if we "got two for the price of one." We're a gay couple and it was important that we work with a photographer that "got us" and would create a comfortable environment that brought out the best in us. read more

We met Jenny and her husband Geo when we attended a friend's wedding. We were very impressed by the pictures Jenny took that day and had a great conversation with them at the wedding. The two of them have very welcoming and down to earth personalities. When it came to planning our wedding, booking JennyDee as our photographer was one of the first few important decisions we made. We were confident in our choice and having Jenny photograph our engagement photos and wedding was a huge success. Jenny and Geo were very accommodating to our schedule, special requests, and we found they were very easy to work with on our big day. Jenny was always very responsive and quick on emails. We had a face-to-face meeting early on and a few Skype meetings so that we were all on the same page in terms of expectations. She provided convenient hand-outs we filled out to help make the frenzy of family photos on the big day run through smoothly. Jenny did a great job capturing every moment of our wedding day. The pictures really showcased the love and excitement of that day! Jenny and Geo are genuinely a nice, loving couple who really want to make this process as less stressful as possible, which makes this whole experience that much better and easier. During our engagement and wedding shoot, they were willing to ask strangers nearby to temporarily stand to the side so that we could get the perfect shot. Jenny took the initiative and directed us on poses, making sure we have an assortment of silly and serious photos. She listened to our ideas and input, mixing in some of her personal and professional takes. Geo was also a great help capturing "behind the scene" photos and shots from different angles. We were able to get our wedding photos in a timely manner. Jenny and Geo were a pleasure to work with - punctual, professional, approachable, responsive, dedicated and talented. Overall, they are simply a cool couple to get to know and converse with. We are very happy with Jenny and her work, and would recommend her to friends and family for future photography needs! read more

Jenny & Geo photographed both our engagement shoot and our wedding in 2014. We told ourselves prior to meeting and hiring them that we'd be content if we got just a few good shots to remember our event out of whatever photographer we ultimately hired. We decided to book with Jenny Dee because of her positive reviews and some of the work we saw in her portfolio. We are so grateful we did. We were blown away by the work they did. Jenny and Geo captured hundreds of incredible photos from our day-- everything from intimate to artistic to silly to romantic to sweet. We have more beautiful images from our engagement shoot and wedding than we know what to do with. Every single moment and suggestion and request we made was met enthusiastically and professionally. There is honestly no way we could be happier with the finished project. read more

Jenny and George were great at my wedding reception! They worked really well together, were great to have around, and are incredibly easy to work with! They captured my wedding well - from directing all of us during posed photos to capturing really fun and wonderful candid ones as well. I loved how lush the photos came out! I interviewed a few photographers, and I have to say that we are very happy we went with Jenny + George! read more

Jenny & Geo photographed our October 2015 wedding in Berkeley, and were an absolute pleasure to work with. They were friendly, easygoing, and totally professional throughout the entire process. We just got our pictures back and are absolutely thrilled with them. It is a huge advantage to have two photographers because they really make sure they capture the spirit of your event. They had never photographed our venue, and had to contend with some challenging lighting but still managed to capture amazing portraits and candid pictures. I'd recommend them to anyone! read more

Jenny and Geo did a fantastic job as photographers for our wedding in July 2017. We also did an engagement photoshoot with them in April 2017. They were always punctual and easy to work with. Even though I am not particularly photogenic, they managed to capture natural shots of me and my husband. One of my favorite things about her is that she is super responsive and always remembers to follow up. She is the one vendor who I could always rely on to get her job done without me having to check in constantly. We both love the vibrancy of the pictures and the candid shots they took. I highly recommend them if you're looking to get the most bang out of your buck for your wedding pictures. read more

Jennydee Photography did any amazing job on our Maternity Photos at about 34 weeks pregnant! Both Jenny and George were able to capture beautiful pictures of our first pregnancy at Redwood Regional Park in Oakland. We would highly recommend them in the SF Bay Area and hope to use them in the future! read more

Jenny did a phenomenal job with our friends' wedding photos so we asked them to do ours! She and Geo were such a fun energy to have around. I loved how they just sank into the background and snapped away, and the photos are perfect. I love all of the fun that Jenny had with the lighting. :) Jenny was super responsive through the whole stressful wedding planning ordeal and had great ideas/tips for the flow of the wedding day and for getting all of the photo combinations we wanted. I highly recommend them! read more

Jenny took some shots of me for my yoga studio opening. She has a great eye for detail, is immensely creative, and really fun to work with. She captured the light during sunset so perfectly. And George her husband and assistant is great, they make a perfect team. read more

I'm so glad we chose Jenny to do the photography at our wedding. She and George made a great team! They were really well prepared, friendly and easygoing. We were able to get all of the photos we wanted, which was not easy with two huge families and lots of friends. The photos are gorgeous and I look forward to getting prints! read more

My husband and I are pretty laid back, casual people, so when we were looking for a photographer for our backyard wedding we wanted the same. Jenny and her husband, George, were a perfect fit! They were laid back, casual, fun and had a great eye to capture the kind of photos we were looking for. They were both so easy to work with and open to suggestions. We got married in October and totally lucked out with the weather. Jenny and George perfectly captured our wedding! I would highly recommend them! read more

My husband and I booked Jenny and Geo for both our engagement shoot and our wedding photography. They were a real pleasure to work with: professional, courteous and punctual (they arrive early--all the time!). We loved how they captured the vibrant colors of our outdoor venue, and that they reminded us to take some silly photos along with the serious ones. From our first consultation on Skype to our wedding day, Jenny was helpful and responsive. On the big day, she and Geo hovered behind the scenes capturing every special moment. I cannot recommend them highly enough. If you need photography done--you could pay twice and much and not get a result half as good. read more

Jenny and her husband were a pleasure to work with! We planned a wedding quickly (6 weeks!) and they were on board every step of the way. As we we had a small wedding at City Hall in San Francisco, the big wedding photo packages weren't really in our budget, nor did they make sense for the size and scope of our event. Nevertheless, Jenny was able to work with us and create a budget that made sense, and the photos turned out beautifully. I am so glad that we decided to use a professional photography and I would definitely recommend Jennydee Photography! read more

We knew upon meeting Jenny and George and seeing their work that they would do an incredible job capturing the spirit of our wedding, and they truly did. From getting shots of my cat while my husband was getting ready (thanks!) to finding the perfect light in the redwoods for the most gorgeous shots, the pictures are exactly what we wanted. Almost as important, Jenny and George were delightful to work with and super chill and fun. We interviewed so many photographers before our wedding, and I am so glad we made the choice we did. We will definitely be using them again! read more

I would highly recommend Jenny! She is an amazing photographer, and she and her husband George are so great to work with. What initially drew me to Jenny was the style of her work. I really wanted pictures that looked natural and were not overly touched up or stylized. Our engagement and wedding photos looked amazing -- she finds a way to truly capture the emotion of the moment. Aside from the photos themselves, Jenny and George were really fun to work with. The lead-up to and planning of our engagement and wedding photos were great, and we all had lots of great laughs while shooting all our photos. Jenny is extremely responsive to emails and was always willing to work with me and my wife to get exactly what we wanted with our pictures. Her blog really reflects the breadth of people and weddings she has experience with. Thank you, Jenny, for capturing our most important memories! read more

(Written by the wife) Jenny and her husband Geo were great to work with for our wedding July 2019. My husband and I are the awkward type. We're more likely to have a silly face than serious ones. We were not one for the "traditional" wedding photos. Not our style. And Jenny and Geo fit perfectly with what we wanted: casual, fun, candid. We wanted to make sure we clicked with our photographers since they would be following us around all day. I had a good feeling about it from perusing Jenny's website and looking at her photography. I told my husband I was 99% sure that Jenny would be our photographer as long as we liked them in person. And sure enough we did! Jenny provided several documents to help us with the day-of photoshoot and reviewed those with us before hand. That definitely helped out with my over-planner self. Jenny answered my many questions before the wedding. And for the actual day itself, she did a great job. They got all the shots I wanted and the photos turned out great. My photos with the roasted pig is one of our favorites and is on our wall. I know for sure I will be hiring Jenny again in the future and I highly recommend her. read more

Working with Jenny for our wedding was GREAT. She was super easygoing, and from the very first we were on the same page about what sort of photos we wanted (lots of candids, lots of fun, the basic minimum on pre-posed and cheesy stuff). We did an engagement photo session with her, which turned out incredibly wonderful - she and George were fun to work with, and the photos turned out great. For the wedding proper, Jenny & George made sure we had a good list of required photos (all the family groups, etc.), without going overboard. Again, super easy to work with - flexible when we had to shift things around and got what they needed to without demanding very much of us. We got the photos back and they're terrific. Icing on the cake: we really liked Jenny & George! They were great photographers, but also really fun and really friendly. A++ would hire to take photos again, A++ would hang out with anytime. read more

Browsing Yelp looking for a photographer for my wedding, I luckily came across Jennydee Photography. I checked out her site and fell in love with her pictures! It was exactly what I was looking for for my big day. We set up a meeting to talk to Jenny and Geo, and my husband and I instantly knew we wanted to work with them. Not only were their prices in-line with our budget, but they were just awesome people! They did an absolutely amazing job! We started out with an engagement session in which we included our two dogs. They worked with our schedules and recommended a great location for what we wanted. My husband and I are not photogenic and super awkward (to say the least) in front of the camera, but Jenny and Geo made it so easy and comfortable and we got great pictures. We also did a holiday photo shoot with Jenny and it was awesome. Again, she worked with our schedules and was able to fit us in right away. She was patient with us, and the dogs, and it was a really fun time. We got the perfect holiday card photo! They photographed our wedding at the Brazilian Room/Claremont Hotel in Berkeley on December 3rd. They are so organized and worked with us ahead of time to understand exactly what shots and moments we wanted captured. The day of was an absolute breeze -- they kept everyone on schedule and really knew how to keep it stress-free with their up-beat personalities. The final pictures were exactly what we wanted and I could not be happier with how they turned out! Jennydee Photography is wonderful and I look forward to future shoots with them!! read more

Jenny and her husband George are absolutely wonderful! Both as photographers and people. My husband and I got along so well with them that we meet up and hang out any time we are close. In a photographer capacity, Jenny takes stunning photos. We were so blown away with our wedding photos! Her framing, attention to detail, and eye for the artistic are outstanding. The quality of editing that comes along with the photos is flawless. Seriously, best editing ever. Jenny can make any location stunning in her photos, and any face flawless without looking extremely airbrushed. She also takes super awesome pictures of cats. read more

Working with Jenny was great. She was professional, on-time, and enjoyable to be with on our wedding day. Her and George were really nice and accommodating. They were able to do all of the shots we wanted and stay on the days timeline. We opted for the flashdrive with all of the photos of the day. You can tell she really loves what she does. read more

Jenny and her husband George did our engagement shoot at the Berkeley Botanical Gardens. It was a beautiful sunny day and we had a great time taking photos. Jenny did a great job directing us for the best poses and the final results were amazing! It only took a few weeks to get the complete set of finished photographs in which there were hundreds of photos. If you are looking for a photographer, I would definitely recommend Jenny and her husband George! We are excited for them to shoot our wedding coming up read more

Jenny is great!!! I had her do our engagement photos and they turned out amazing!!! She is very easy to work with -- flexible, communicative, and understanding! She had me provide her with a few poses that I liked. I sent her a LOT (probably about 50), which she had printed out and brought to the photo session to make sure she got them all. The session was fun and went by pretty quickly! My fiance hates to have his photo taken so the fact that he found it not an unpleasant experience says something! The photos were ready in about 2 weeks. I love the posed shots, but especially the candid shots that she took of us! It's pretty hard to pick my favorites! I also liked that the photos looked natural and not over-edited. Photos were posted online (password protected) and also sent on a usb drive. I won't ruin the surprise, but the packaging is beautiful! I'm a sucker for creative and pretty packaging. It was such a nice, personal, fun touch! Thanks so much, Jenny! read more

The is such a delayed review. Jenny and George are simply the best!!! They captured so many special moments with our friends, family, guests and just the two of us for our reception. It rained during our photo-taking day and the photos still came out sooooooo awesome!!! They are the most easy-going and adorable people my husband and I have ever met. Would recommend them to all my friends and family :) read more
