weddings: natural light
Natural & fresh daylight photography is the dream, and no matter the time of day or coverage of clouds, my goal for your wedding images is a soft and timeliness look. See Gallery No. 2 to see how I continue that into the darker hours of your wedding evening too!
weddings: low light
The softness of natural daylight is wonderful, but of course at least a portion of your wedding day might be indoors, or after the sun has set; your photos should be beautiful no matter where or when they are captured.

Hi
"We couldn't have asked for a better experience, photographer or day. I feel photos is one of the most important parts to our wedding as we want to cherish these memories for the rest of our lives. Jen was an absolute delight to work with - she made my husband and I feel so comfortable during our engagement photos and even more relaxed on our wedding day. I knew I didn't have to worry about a thing and our photos would turn out fabulous! Just take a look at her portfolio - you'll see for yourself I highly recommend Jen Philips as your photographer for any special event or moment in your life!"

"Jen is the absolute best! She was so easy to work with and made us feel at ease during both the engagement and wedding day. My husband and I opted to go with a first look so that we could enjoy the cocktail hour with our guests. Jen found the perfect spot at our venue for it and captured what was an incredibly emotional moment for my husband and I without us even noticing her. We have been to so many weddings where the photographer seemed very invasive and in the way and Jen was the exact opposite. She seamlessly integrated herself into the crowds to get the shots she needed and most of the time we didn't even realize she was there shooting until we saw the photos later. If you need a photographer then go with Jen. You won't regret it."

We loved working with Jen over the past year. She is such a professional and her photos are beautiful, but best of all she’s such a kind and easy-to-talk-to person. We were choosing between a number of highly qualified photographers but after meeting with three of them in person, we knew we had to choose Jen. On our wedding day I was so grateful for her presence. She was able to keep me calm through small wedding hiccups and was able to get beautiful, natural photos of the whole wedding. We just love looking at our wedding pictures - sometimes we can’t even believe it’s us! The wedding was the best day of our lives and I’m so grateful she was able to capture it for us.."

I truly can not give Jen enough stars!! She was absolutely incredible leading up to, and during our wedding. She was professional, comfortable, friendly, and overall amazing. Jen's associate Jenna captured every perfect moment of our big day, and made our crazy families behave perfectly! I can’t speak her praises enough, as Jen was seriously the absolute best. If I were to do it over again, I would pick her again & again!"

Photography was the most important aspect of our Napa elopement to my husband and I, as we wanted to be able to share those moments with our family and friends who would not be attending. Of all the photographers we contacted, Jen was the most impressive. She was friendly and prompt on the phone, her website was easy to navigate and well designed, and her photos were stunning and looked anything but staged. Neither me nor my husband had ever been on a photo shoot and we wanted someone who would make us feel at ease and make our photos look as natural as possible. If we lived in Napa, we would be hiring her for future family portraits; since we don't, the best we can do is recommend her to anyone who wishes a stress-free, delightful elopement photo shoot."

No need to look any further! We felt so lucky to have found Jen and her photography team. When searching for a photographer, you want someone you feel comfortable with because they are going to be with you through some of your most special moments. Jen did just that. From the first phone call till the end of our wedding, it was like we had our friends or family taking photos. If you are deciding which package to go with, I would highly recommend the full package. They were able to capture every single detail of our wedding, and we got more photos then we imagined.
Thank you again Jen!!"

Jen Philips is incredible! We are so happy with our photos, both engagement and wedding pics! She was professional in every way, but felt like a friend! Jen took the time to get to know us which it made all of our photos perfect! She worked with all of our family members, friends/guests - she didn't miss anyone AND she was superb with the little one's in the wedding. Her use of the environment at Viansa Winery was incredible, actually stunning! Jen is patient, kind, happy, professional and most important, our pictures are lifetime treasures. We highly and proudly recommend Jen Philips for wedding/engagement photos!"
