Look no further, you have found your girl!!!!

 

Where oh where to begin?! My goodness, we just got our pictures back and we are through the roof THRILLED with the memories Jenna Lee and her team captured!!! Hands downs, she is the best photographer on the island. We stumbled across Jenna Lee while at a friend's wedding in Hawaii, and were sooo impressed by her ability to completely blend in yet so perfectly direct the crowd for group shots. Fast forward a year later, and she was capturing the most special day of our lives. We went with her wedding and video package along with the special adventure session. Let me tell you, it was worth every single penny!!!! Jenna Lee and her team are standout professionals, and so sweet and fun to be around. From the moment they showed up, you could tell they have some serious experience under their belts. They knew exactly which shots to get, and had extreme amounts of creativity. She took some sort of double exposure shot(not sure I'm saying that right), but it blew our minds. So, so artistic! They also were able to capture so much of the day we would've never been able to see. Truly priceless! We are definitely not the most coordinated pair in front of a camera, yet Jenna somehow worked her magic and got the most beautiful images of our day!! She made us both feel so extremely comfortable and just made the entire experience really fun for us. We will truly cherish these pictures and video for the rest of our lives and will never be able to thank them enough for these memories. So, so grateful to have had Jenna Lee for our day!! Mahalo!!lick here to add your own text and edit me. It's easy.

Where do we even begin? We are not big with writing reviews but we definitely have to let it be known she is hands down "THE ONE" to work with  She was one of four photographers that we had interviewed and not only was her work amazing, but her personality also made it easy for us to choose her to capture our special day. She is so 

down to earth and easy and fun to work with.

With less than 45 days from our vow renewal, our venue had to be changed. This raised a concern for us because our new venue had never been utilized as a wedding ceremony/reception site. However, Jenna doesn’t need much to capture any moment while making it tell a story. She adapted and overcame the situation. When we initially viewed our sneak peek pictures, the feeling was indescribable. We cannot express how excited we are to see the rest.

I looked at over 70 photographers for my wedding in Hawaii. I finally decided on Jenna for a number of reasons. She provided high value with the quality of work, the packages offered, the fact that she knew my wedding location very well, and the inclusion of a 2nd photographer. Her pictures were not only about capturing the typical wedding pictures, but also about showing moments and being artistic. I loved her point of view. She was also very responsive which was great. On the day of, she was extremely efficient and knew what shots to get, where to be located when, and how to also not be a distraction to guests. Most of my feedback from guests were also that Jenna and her second photographer Elizabeth were GREAT. They were kind, professional, and had a great attitude. Obviously since I searched through so many portfolios, pictures were really important to me, and,

I LOVE the way they turned out.

Jenna and Elizabeth guided us when we felt unnatural, encouraged us to try different things, and went along with the night (since there are always hiccups and changes during a wedding day). Jenna Lee Pictures is      

no doubt one of the best vendors I booked for my wedding.

After meeting a lovely couple in Nicaragua shortly after my engagement, I later saw their beautiful faces on a wedding website (as poster children for a Hawaii Wedding Photographer - Jenna Lee Pictures). This small world brought us Jenna Lee and it was the first wedding decision when I "just knew" it was meant to be. That didn't happen with the dress, or much of anything else, but thank goodness if happened in this case. Jenna not only captured our best day ever beautifully, we had the chance to do a post-wedding sunrise and water shoot together too. Not to mention, she played a huge role in helping refer me to our videographer and our wedding planners - both of which I knew I could trust because of Jenna's shining recommendation! :) Thank you to Jenna for her adventurous spirit, her kindness, her positive energy and her fun-loving attitude! She helped make our "best day ever" even more special! :)

I cannot express in words how absolutely INCREDIBLE Jenna Lee and her staff are. Not only is she extremely personable and goes above and beyond to make all of her clients feel special, beautiful, and valued, but she is the epitome of a professional. She does anything necessary to capture the most memorable moments. She did an engagement shoot for us and photographed and videoed our wedding. I can't even tell you how many of our family and guests complimented on how great Jenna and her staff were. The pictures turned out even more amazing than I ever could have imagined (although I shouldn't be so surprised!) and I have Jenna to thank for that. The beautiful photos are a constant reminder of our special day.

HANDS DOWN the best photographer. You would be silly not to hire her!

Jenna Lee was extremely professional but, most importantly she was compassionate and the love she has for photography is shown through her character and quality of the photos she takes. I would highly recommend her to anyone and especially close family members and friends that would need a photographer in the future. Jenna Lee is up to date on her technology, lens, cameras and it shows that she will continue learning in the field to help benefit her and her clients. I absolutely can't wait to return to Hawaii to have a family photo session done by her. Jenna Lee took my photos on my wedding day, and I had a stubborn four year old daughter at that time that would not smile or cope with the wedding. However, Jenna's soft touch and patience helped my daughter come around to the idea of taking photos on mom's and dad's special day. I literally took a year to find the "right photographer" that would meet my standards, but that was also understanding on what it meant to travel to Hawaii and have our wedding done there. She was truly amazing, kind and always made sure to have us feel comfortable. My husband (who is not a photogenic person, like me), was extremely pleased with her personality and could not believe how patient she was with our crazy daughter. I want to thank Jenna Lee for her compassion that day and for the lovely photos that I will have forever because of her and the type of artist she has become behind the camera. Thank you Jenna Lee for your encouragement and helping us with one of the most important parts of our wedding. I wish her nothing but success and CAN'T WAIT TO BOOK HER AGAIN FOR THE FUTURE!! YES, THAT MEANS ANOTHER TRIP TO THE BEAUTIFUL ISLAND OF HAWAII!

Jenna Lee is hands down the BEST photographer! I spent weeks looking for a photographer and Jenna Lee and her team is hands down the BEST! From the first email, I knew I was in good hands. Jenna Lee and her team are so down to earth and she is so easy to work with. Our photos are the best investment and I am so happy I had Jenna Lee capture our special day. If you are anything like me and spent weeks if not months looking and email different photographers, look no further, Jenna Lee is the best you will get! Thank you so much for all your hard work and for the MOST BEAUTIFUL PHOTOS EVER!!!!  I seriously could not recommend her more highly, and will never forget how amazing she was to work with!

Booking Jenna Lee Pictures as our photographer was the best decision we made during wedding planning! She was flexible with our requests and knew exactly what to say to motivate us for stellar photos. Jenna and her assistant worked nonstop for 8 hours and perfectly captured our fairy tale wedding. The pictures look better than I dreamed they would!

Please look no further for a photographer than Jenna Lee! We had an accelerated timeline of 10 weeks to plan our wedding, and from the very first email, Jenna was nothing but kind, calm and professional. She was organized and reassuring throughout the whole process as we fumbled through venue changes and major setbacks. Jenna is so sweet and has such a refreshing take on wedding photography. Her vision is to help tell the story of the two people by capturing the details, the action, the laughter and love shared in each moment. Her work is incredible and the recognition she has received is well deserved. Jenna captured every important moment that we were hoping to remember on our wedding day and several great photos of moments we didn’t even know had happened! Her work is flawless and she was able to capture the light and colors of the day in mesmerizing ways in every picture. We have received many compliments on our photos. Jenna was also able to capture several amazing and intimate moments during an adventure wedding shoot for us in several different locations on island and was incredibly flexible for our very tight schedules. We were thrilled to hear that two photos she took during that session were selected as winners in an international photography contest! My husband and I give our whole hearted thanks to Jenna and highly recommend Jenna Lee Pictures for any moment you wish to remember forever.

We are so excited!! 

The pictures are beyond belief! 

We couldn't be happier with the entire process.

It's hard to look through them without getting teary eyed. 

If you have the chance, book her.

As we were planning our wedding in Hawaii, a number of our family and friends advised us to choose a wedding photographer very carefully, as the images that the photographer captures will be images that encapsulates one of the most pivotal experiences of a person's , and indeed a couple's, lifetime. Therefore, of all the things to get right, hiring the right photographer is of the utmost importance. 

With all the pressure of that comes with that advice, so began our research into wedding photographers. Initially, our wedding venue, the Moana Surfrider, and our wedding coordinator, Lauren  from Aloha Bridal Connections (ABC), gave us two separate lists of "preferred vendors." From there, we began cross-referencing the vendors with their respective reviews online. Based on those reviews, we then looked at each photographers' portfolio and decided if their work aligns with the aesthetic that we had in mind for our wedding photos. Of all the vendors we evaluated, Jenna Lee Pictures, a recommendation from ABC, was at the very top of our list. Not only were her reviews five-stars across the board, but her photos are consistently amazing. Just have a look at her gallery for yourself, and you will see what I mean.

On the day of our wedding, Jenna Lee perfectly captured every crucial moment, every emotion, and every detail imaginable. At the beginning of her eight-hour session, as we were getting ready separately and during our "First Look," Jenna Lee had a presence about her whereby you can tell she's deeply passionate about her work. She was professional, warm, friendly and enthusiastic. There was just the right amount of communication between her, the wedding party, family members, as well as with the both of us. Then, during the ceremony and reception, we barely noticed her at all, which I believe is what you want as this enabled us to focus on each other, our guests, and be present in the moment. 

As a couple on their wedding day, and you may soon find out, if not already, everything happens in a blink of an eye. There is so much we were not able to notice on our big day and Jenna Lee, with the help of her assistants,
captured so much of what we missed. It's now about a month and a half since we got married and Jenna Lee just sent us our entire wedding photo gallery. What a treat! (We even had a sneak peek only two weeks after our wedding.) It is such a pleasure to relive all the moments we remember and discover many of the things we have missed. 

Lastly, it poured on our wedding day; I mean the heavens just opened up on us, which according to Hawaiian custom, is a huge blessing. That said, my wife dreamt of getting married outdoors on the beach her entire life. On account of the rain, our ceremony was moved indoors. However, after the ceremony, that didn't stop my wife, Jenna Lee, and subsequently me from braving the elements to capture some pretty epic shots on the beach. Jenna Lee and her team had no problems with getting wet. She might have even sacrificed some of her equipment that day, but that didn't stop Jenna Lee. She enthusiastically encouraged my wife to kick a puddle of water at her and her expensive camera (to get THE shot.) If that doesn't tell you about how committed Jenna Lee is, then I don't know what will. 
If you are looking for a photographer that specializes in weddings, engagements, and couples photography, then definitely go with Jenna Lee Pictures. You will be happy that you did. My wife and I will certainly use her services again for a future anniversary trip to Hawaii. Best of luck to you and your significant other on your special day.

Jenna Lee Pictures - Oahu Wedding Photographer-25.jpg

We are so lucky to have found Jenna Lee for our honeymoon photoshoot! From booking, to the shoot, and to receiving our pictures, she made the experience easy, fun, and memorable! Inquiring/booking was a fast process, and her booklet for choosing a location was a league above any photographer we checked out in the area. We chose Lanikai Beach for our shoot location (highly recommend this beautiful beach!) The winds were extremely high on our original shoot day, and Jenna Lee was very nice to ask if we wanted to switch to a less windy day or to keep the original plan. We are glad we changed dates because our new date was less windy, but still very windy, so I can’t imagine what would have happened on our original plan. Getting to the beach was easy, and Jenna Lee gave simple directions to follow and meet her. The entire shoot was seamless and never a dull moment or lapse in time. Jenna Lee made both of us feel comfortable from the start in front of the camera, and led us like a true professional. Jenna Lee is fearless in her photography, so don’t be afraid to get in the water with her! Our shoot lasted longer than our contract stated as we were going with the flow, so we truly appreciate Jenna Lee giving us that extra time. It started to downpour on us, and she even offered us towels from her car to borrow. Truly kind at heart! When we received our gallery back, we were BLOWN AWAY! The pictures came out beautiful and you can tell that Jenna Lee is a master at her craft. We highly, highly recommend Jenna Lee for any event, and we are truly so glad to have worked with her for our honeymoon shoot!

My husband and I hired Jenna Lee Pictures a year ago today to curate our wedding in Kauai. Initially, Zach Dancel and I thought we wanted a large blow-out wedding. However, we soon realized that we weren't planning a wedding for ourselves. We were constantly trying to please everyone else and meet their needs. After attending weddings of friends and family, we could see how so many couples just become consumed trying to make sure every guest has fun which often deprives the newlyweds from enjoying THEIR own day. That is when we decided to keep it simple and elope. 

We contacted Jenna with less than 6 months notice, and
not only did she make the process EXTREMELY easy from the beginning, but she constantly recommended vendors, new places, and shoot ideas for my husband and I to have the perfect day. When we visualized our wedding, all we truly wanted was to keep it stress-free so we could just focus on what really mattered: our marriage and commitment to one another, and Jenna made sure of this. We loved her work and passion for her profession so much that we actually decided to do a TWO day shoot with her. 

Our two-day adventure elopement took us to an amazing and remote location in Kaua'i that involved hiking for several hours into a gorgeous and private coastal area. We saw blow holes, turtles, and endangered monk seals along the way that Jenna had spotted. Our fearless photographer who did not care getting rained on, muddy, and even letting me borrow her SHOES so I would not slip, ensured our special day would be nothing short of PERFECT- and the pictures she took will prove it! We loved the symbolism of hiking for a couple hours before committing to one another, just traveling hand-in-hand, helping helping each other along the way.

On the second day, we started our hike at 3:30am to venture to the opposite side of the island on Oahu's North Shore. At the crack of dawn, Jenna PICKED US UP from our hotel (AT NO ADDITIONAL COST) and we hiked up to this amazing lookout for sunrise pictures overlooking the water, where
we laughed, cried, played, and celebrated our love. (Crouching Lion).

I must say that when we booked Jenna,
I did not expect her to have such an impact in our lives. Not only is she extremely talented, (hence why she has been voted top 3 wedding photographer in the world by WedAward for a couple years now)but she truly cares about making every single experience unique in their own way. Jenna is so much more than just an epic wedding photographer, she has gained a very special place in our hearts and we will MAKE SURE to use her services, including drone shoots, again in the near future. 

With much Aloha,
The Dancels.
