A few months ago, my husband and I celebrated our ten year wedding anniversary and we decided to mark the event with a photo shoot. Our experience with Janae was exceptional, from the time I reached out to her for a quote to receiving our beautifully curated photos in an easy-to-access gallery. Janae is highly professional, personable, flexible, and organized. My husband and I typically feel awkward in front of a camera, but we felt comfortable and at ease during the shoot - we had a blast with Janae. Janae's understanding of light, composition, and human interaction ultimately made for some of the most beautiful images I have ever seen of my husband and myself.
I saved this review for last, this amazing human is literally responsible for catching your entire wedding evening on camera, that is a tough job to take on. You will not be disappointed guys. Not only was she the photographer, she helped me coordinate day of, kept wild humans in line, kept us on track for the evening, AND had us a 70ish photo sneak peek three days after our wedding. Janae's work speaks for itself, she is kind, but strong and will help to see to it your day goes off without a hitch. Even keeping anxious moms in line, and checking in to be sure myself and hubby were doing okay hours prior to the wedding. Her work went well beyond day of, we had our engagement shoot in which she delivered the best sneak peek we could have ever asked for, getting to see her creativity at work months prior to our wedding was an amazing experience. For our engagement photos she headed up into the mountains with only a few days notice, because my hubby and I wanted snowy engagement photos- she did it, no questions asked. I cannot tell you how many questions I ran through her from outfit options, ceremony start times, how to navigate difficult family, etc. She even takes the time to get to know what YOU want as a couple, even individuals. Her pre-wedding questionnaire leaves no guess work for herself or you as a couple. Down to each and every single photo you could want, or what you may NOT want- which is equally important. Do not fear if you are that awkward human that does not photograph well, Janae is a ninja, and puts you and your spouse in just the right position, producing genuine moments, not just posed shots! Every laugh, kiss, and tear was pure reaction to a moment she had us falling into! We went with her package that included a second photographer DO IT. Those candid moments are just as important as the posed photos, having two sets of eyes makes it that much more likely they will get captured! You will not even know they were there. Opting to forego a videographer made photography that much more important to us, we wanted to be sure to have every moment captured. Her second shooter was a great fit for our crown as well. We also opted for her photobooth add in through Little Guy Photobooth DO IT- those photos were hilarious as well! We have laughed so much looking through the photos and boomerangs, everyone loves to let loose in those tings. Oh also the gallery of those photos was in my email the day after my wedding guys, that is more than I could ever ask for!
Janae was our wedding photographer along with her colleague and we cannot believe how incredible the photos are. In what has been a bit of a chaotic year, Janae doesn't let that get in the way of delivering extremely high quality work. The moments she captured for my wife and I are the kind that you re-live and are moved to tears by every time you see them. You can really feel like they tell the story of how it all went down on your big day! I could not imagine partnering up with anyone else now that we've had such incredible incredible success with Janae. She truly has a gift behind the lens and working with people with a level of professionalism and grace that is unmatched in the industry. We are honored and incredibly grateful for the work she has done for us and will do business again. Thank you Janae!!
After looking at so many photographers to choose for our wedding, stumbling across Janae was what I had been searching for. I was immediately in love with what I was seeing. Her photos seemed so real and genuine. I liked the vibe of her photos and the candid shots that looked breathtaking. Upon sending an inquiry to her, we shortly received a reply and set up a facetime meeting. She sent over her wedding package offers and they were within range of our expectations and the date was available. Booking her was easy and all done online. We leaned on her for a choice of location for our engagement shoot. She found a stunning location in Palm Springs with the windmills that was perfect. Working with her was very easy as she is very nice and personable. We received our online gallery of the engagement shoot in just a few short weeks. We were impressed. We were/are both awkward in front of a camera but she was able to capture us being us. About a week out from the wedding, we received a timeline from Janae for the day off and what moments we wanted captured. The day of, Janae and her second photographer were there ready to work and on time. She had fun ideas for shots she wanted to take and had the whole wedding party in action! She moved through the whole ceremony and reception, clicking away and I never even noticed (very impressive). She had beautiful ideas for just the bride and groom photos and kept on schedule so we didn’t miss anything. And then it was over and I realized how fast it went by and how many moments I felt I missed or wish I could have lived longer. Then in just 2 days later, we received our sneak peak gallery! The images were beautiful and more perfect than I could have imagined. Just over a month after the wedding we received our full online gallery. I am beyond amazed with what we received. I cried real tears going though it all, she captured all those moments beautifully, and now they are forever preserved in time. We were so lucky to have been able to work with Janae and her talent for our big day and recommend other choose her as well.
Janae was absolutely amazing to work with! She was incredibly responsive & easy to coordinate with, which put me at ease. The gallery she created for us was absolutely beautiful. Felt like a storybook! And you wouldn’t have know from looking at all the beautiful pictures that the two of us are usually awkward in front of cameras. Can’t wait to work with her again— thank you, Janae!
