my vision
I’m Jenn Fern - your book bestie, hype girl, day-of therapist, and photographer rolled into one..
By day, I’m an engineer (formerly at Disney, so you know I believe in magic and meticulous planning), and by passion, I’m a wedding photographer where I bring together romantic imagination and precise execution. I have a deep love for stories (yes, Pride & Prejudice lives rent-free in my head), and I approach weddings like my favorite novels: rich with character, dripping in emotion, and filled with those blink-and-you’ll-miss-it details that make a story unforgettable.
I’m not just here to document your day: I'm here to hype you up, fix the unfixable, and make sure you feel seen, supported, and stunning. Whether it’s capturing windswept portraits worthy of a period film or stitching together tiny in-between moments with documentary clarity, I photograph with both a cinematic eye and an engineer’s precision. I'm always ready to fluff your veil, fix a boutonnière, pass you tissues, and document it all like the main character you are.
I create imagery that’s both editorial and emotive—timeless photos that look like they belong in Vogue but feel like your favorite romance novel chapter. Because when you look back at these photos years from now, I want you to feel it all again.
With a coffee in hand and a love story always on the mind

- M + J, 2024
Overall, Jenn and her team far exceeded our expectations. On the day of our wedding from our point of view everything went perfectly. Jenn and her second shooter were amazing. They not only captured the classic photos beautifully, but also got us many candid or "artsy" shots that we are thrilled to have!
"She was incredibly organized while also allowing us to enjoy our day to the fullest!"
- A + L, 2024
We booked Jenn for our wedding and are so happy with how our pictures turned out! She was super flexible when it came to rearranging the timeline during our special day due to unforeseen events (rain, delayed dinner, etc). She was a great mediator with the venue coordinator to make sure we got every shot we wanted. Highly highly suggest Jenn for your big day.
"She listened to all of our requests and made us feel really comfortable."
- C +S 2024
Jennifer was professional, communicative, intentional, and committed to capturing all of the shots on our shot list, and then some! She demonstrated creativity, initiative, decision making, and leadership...all leading to a positive experience that allowed us to put all of our trust in her.
"It was a wonderful experience working with her throughout the process."
- B +C, 2024
I cannot recommend Jenn enough! Not only did she capture the most insane and beautiful engagement and wedding photos, but she had an awesome sense of humor and went above and beyond on my wedding day. I mean this woman helped me bustle my dress. We had such a blast working with her, and she had such an eye for backgrounds and lighting. I could not be more pleased with how every photo turned out, both in color and black and white, and we still receive endless compliments.
"Whenever I need a professional photographer in the future, I will not use anyone else!"
- S + J, 2024
Jennifer Fern is a MUST BOOK vendor for any wedding or special occasion including photography. On our wedding day, Jenn was a key part of everything going smoothly. She was by my side every step of the way and prioritizes the bride/ grooms requests and will ensure you are happy and comfortable.
"From beginning to end, and even after, Jenn was attentive, supportive, and professional."

Experience
The
As a former Disney Engineer, I spent years immersed in a world where 'Happily Ever After' was not just a phrase, but a way of life. Being surrounded by the magic & romance of Disney every day made me a true sucker for all things love & happily-ever-after. It's this same enchantment that I now bring to my work as a wedding photographer, capturing the real-life magic and unforgettable moments of your love story.
