Jenna is a phenomenal photographer. Her pictures truly speak to her abilities but beyond that she is so easy to work with! Our day was perfect and she captured it in some truly stunning shots! We were even graced with some wonderful storm clouds in the background and Jenna captured these in such a moody but romantic way (not sure if she has the ability to control the weather or not but it sure seemed perfect!). All jokes aside - she is incredible and you will not regret choosing her for your special day!

All the money in the world couldn't have gotten us a better photographer for our wedding day. Jenna was organized, kind, and incredibly grounding; always reminding us to relax and enjoy the day. Our wedding photos are beyond beautiful. Jenna captured our best angles, our most heartfelt moments, and when I scroll through our wedding pictures I get to vividly relive our day. Thank you Jenna for capturing photos to last us a lifetime!  I could not be happier with her services, and I would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for photography services.

Jenna was such a superstar on our special day. I honestly can't imagine the day without her. Photography has always been very special to me so I wanted someone I could trust. She truly was that and helped us with so many details leading up to the day. Jenna was great at checking in on how we were feeling and what we wanted. We got so many photos that took my breath away. She was able to capture all of the moments so naturally, without feeling staged. She captured our feelings so well and the little moments that I forgot happened.

As a <a href="https://www.jennagrey.com/blog/san-francisco-wedding-photographer-a-perfect-sunset-in-sonoma">San Francisco wedding photographer</a>, I find myself in awe of the natural beauty and raw emotion that I get to capture through my lens. Recently, I had the opportunity to photograph a sunset wedding at the stunning seaside venue, <a href="https://www.timbercoveresort.com/experience/location">Timber Cove Resort</a>, nestled along the breathtaking Sonoma Coast. This location is no stranger to the camera, as it's often the muse of famed photographer Ansel Adams (one of my favorite photographers). California is known for its rugged beauty and dramatic landscapes and the <a href="https://www.sonoma.com/explore/coastal-sonoma-county/">Sonoma Coast</a> is considered one of the most beautiful coastlines in California. Picture this: The sun begins its descent, casting a warm, golden glow over the ocean. The waves crash rhythmically against the shore, providing a soothing soundtrack to the evening's festivities. The bride and groom stand on the cliffs, their love as vast and deep as the Pacific Ocean behind them. As the sun dips below the horizon, they say their vows, and I am there to immortalize this moment in time. This is more than just taking pictures; it's about capturing the essence of love and the beauty of the surroundings. It's about creating a story that couples can look back on, a story that is as timeless as the ocean itself. I see myself as more than just a photographer. I am a guide and a story-teller. I help couples navigate their special day, ensuring everything runs smoothly so they can focus on what truly matters - celebrating their love. I am incredibly lucky to do what I do. I get to travel to stunning locations, meet amazing people, and capture the most important day of their lives. I offer a high-end, in-depth experience, ensuring that every moment, every emotion is beautifully captured. "I am a San Francisco and Sonoma wedding photographer who fell in love with capturing moments. I am happiest when behind my camera, immersing myself in the emotion and beauty of a wedding day. I have a passion for the outdoors, adventure, and the unique stories each couple brings. I believe in kindness, in the magic of love, and in the power of capturing memories that will last a lifetime."

As a Canmore Wedding Photographer, I have the pleasure of capturing some of life's most beautiful moments, and this luxury wedding at <a href="https://www.malcolmhotel.ca">The Malcolm Hotel </a>was no different. The day was meticulously planned by the skilled team at <a href="https://www.calgaryweddingplanner.ca/">Something New Wedding Planners</a>, ensuring every detail was perfect and allowing me to focus on capturing the emotions and events as they unfolded.
&nbsp;
The Malcolm Hotel provided a luxurious setting for the wedding. Its elegant architecture and tasteful d&eacute;cor complemented the grandeur of the occasion, creating a seamless blend of sophistication and charm that was a delight to photograph. The hotel staff were attentive and professional, ensuring the wedding party and guests felt welcomed and well cared for throughout the day.
&nbsp;
Working with Something New Wedding Planners was a joy. Their attention to detail and dedication to creating a memorable experience for the couple was evident in everything they did. From the beautiful floral arrangements to the delicious wedding cake, every element was thoughtfully chosen and expertly executed. The result was a seamless day full of love, laughter, and unforgettable moments.
&nbsp;
As the day progressed, I found myself not just a Canmore wedding photographer, but a storyteller, weaving a narrative of love and celebration through my lens. This is what I love about my job. The opportunity to capture and immortalize these precious moments is a responsibility I don't take lightly. I am not just taking pictures; I am creating a tangible reminder of love and joy that will be cherished for generations to come.
&nbsp;
This wedding in the Canadian Rockies of Canmore, was a beautiful testament to what I love about being a Canmore Wedding Photographer. The stunning mountain scenery, the joy of a couple in love, and the elegance of a luxury wedding all combined to create a day I am proud to have been a part of. I look forward to capturing many more moments like these in the future.

Canmore Wedding Photographer: A Luxe Malcolm Hotel Wedding

I've always found a particular joy in capturing the raw emotion and love between two people in love. It's like freeze-framing a moment of pure bliss and preserving it for a lifetime. And when a captivating location like shooting a destination wedding in Iceland's stunning landscapes comes into play, it's as if the universe conspires to create a symphony of visuals that leaves me spellbound. That was the case when I had the opportunity to capture Magenta and Alex's wedding in Iceland, a love story that unfolded a midst the beaches, waterfalls, and hills of this breathtaking Nordic island.
&nbsp;
From the moment I met Magenta and Alex, I knew their wedding was going to be a unique adventure. Their love story had an air of magic, and their venue was a reflection of their adventurous spirits. The wedding was set against the backdrop of a beach with a panoramic view of Iceland's rolling hills, and a majestic waterfall that was nothing short of a dream.
&nbsp;
The ceremony was intimate, with the couple eloping. It was a moment filled with raw emotion, love, and passion, all against the backdrop of the crashing waves and the moody Icelandic sky. As an Iceland wedding photographer, capturing these intimate moments is what I live for. It's about immortalizing a fleeting moment of pure love, and there's an indescribable joy and fulfillment that comes with it.
&nbsp;
But the best part was yet to come. After the ceremony, we went to capture some photos in front of the huge waterfall. And as if nature itself was blessing their union, a rainbow appeared, creating a stunning spectacle. The couple, hand in hand, standing in front of the waterfall, with the rainbow above them, was a sight to behold. It was like a scene from a fairy tale, and I was there to capture it.
&nbsp;
The photographs turned out to be ethereal. The joy on Magenta and Alex's faces, the Skogafoss waterfall's grandeur, and the rainbow's vibrancy created a vibrant tableau of love, adventure, and serendipity. It was a profound reminder of why I do what I do. This isn't just about taking photographs; it's about capturing love stories, creating lifetime memories and being a part of someone's most special day.
&nbsp;
Iceland, with its untouched beauty and majestic landscapes, provided a stunning backdrop to Magenta and Alex's love story. Their wedding was not just a celebration of their love, but also a celebration of adventure, nature, and the beautiful unpredictability of life. And as their Iceland destination wedding photographer, I had the honor of capturing it all.

An Icelandic Elopement: Capturing Love Amongst the Waterfalls

<h2 style="line-height: 1;">We notice that all your images on your website, Instagram and Facebook are just couples, do you also take detail photos and family pictures?</h2>
<h6 style="line-height: 1;">I have always wanted my couples to book me for my connection and intimacy in my work, so this is what I share the most. I want to be booked for this and not my ability to capture center pieces or table settings. I do of course capture all the days events, details, candid pictures, family images and everything else that happens at a wedding day as they are very important but again I want my couples to book for the experience of me capturing your connection, not how beautiful I can make your silverware look (which I can definitely do).</h6>

<h2>We were looking over more of your photos; they are beautiful however we were wondering if most of the the photos we would receive be darker and moodier, or if others would be lighter?</h2>
<h6>While I do love using natural light and shadows in many of my images to create mood, drama and a feeling of intimacy, I fully understand that style isn&rsquo;t something that is necessarily best for an entire day. I will capture your wedding day, with a good mix of both dramatic portraits and blend clean photography throughout, to create an accurate representation of your day.</h6>

<h2>How many images will we receive on our wedding day or connection session?</h2>
<h6>I never limit the amount of images I will capture in any of my weddings, elopements or engagement/connection sessions. On average I deliver between 40-55 images for every hour of coverage. For my connection sessions, I deliver between 40-50 images. All of the photographs that you will receive are delivered in full resolution and have been fully edited. I am a big believer in quality over quantity and I will never put &ldquo;filler&rdquo; in your final gallery.</h6>

<h2>Where are you based out of?</h2>
I am a local Canmore and Banff wedding and elopement photographer located in Banff, Alberta, Canada which is in Canadian Rocky Mountains. I also spend half of my time in Canmore, Alberta as a wedding and elopement photographer, as my children were both born locally right in Canmore.

<h2>Can you photograph my wedding even though I don't live in Alberta?</h2>
Absolutely! Though I have been based locally in the beautiful mountains for the last 18 years as a Banff and Canmore wedding photographer, I am available for weddings all over the world and travel for my clients internationally all year. You can learn more about my destination wedding services in my International Destination Wedding Photography or Photo-shoot Collection. Please contact me there for more information.

I do A LOT of half and full day coordination now for my clients, where I act as a guide in the mountains in Banff and also worldwide - where I organize and coordinate everything from top to bottom so they just have to show up - from booking their Helicopters, building their itineraries, hiring all of the vendors for their date etc and offer both half and full day coordination with my photography. I really want to sell this idea, as I do both and have a great reviews for that work that I do and I believe I can be a strong presence in my market for this, as I offer a bit of higher end in depth experience being local and doing so much of this kind of work.
