We worked with Jenny for a 10 hour day, and she made us so comfortable from beginning to end. Photographing two brides, was no easy task, especially for the getting ready/first loo...
k and bouncing back and forth between hotel rooms, but Jenny was organized and knew the shots she needed. She even stood her ground to make sure we got a fantastic first look spot when there were other competing photographers and other weddings onsite. Above and beyond! Overall, Jenny is super down to earth and we were really happy with the quality moments she captured during our special day. Stop looking, book her now!
This photographer does great work but her communication leaves something to be desired. I paid her in full for a photography package, but then had my wedding canceled. We did do an...
engagement shoot which I had to email her multiple times to get the photos back. And then when the wedding was canceled a couple of months later, I am still emailing her to this day trying to get a refund for the rest of the money I gave her. It’s been five months. She responds once every few weeks, but only after sending a duplicate email and asking for an update. She does really great work, but I recommend not paying her in full and expecting a delay in communication if you choose to hire her.
Jenny and her assistant were extremely professional the day of and got the job done. Also, although email is not her preferred communication style, she was responsive and well-rec...
eptive to my messages leading up to the wedding.
During the wedding day, Jenny took photos of everything that my wife and I had outlined and given to her in instructions. Jenny and her Team took excellent highlight shots of certain items, such as a hand-painted champagne bottle, the bottom of the bride's shoes, the men helping each other with their collars and ties. Jenny and her assistant were both fun and professional, and set my mind and heart at ease which I cannot say for the wedding planners.
It was a fairly grey day, but Jenny took advantage of the lighting and saturation of the venue and home rented to stage the wedding photos and made them shine. They allowed for some fun natural flowing shots, and then gave awesome examples to snag some of the most fun pictures we had in our collection.
Aside from what she was hired to do, Jenny provided a level of assurance and security that could be trusted. She showed up on time, communicated effectively, was cost-effective, and put everyone in an excellent mood. She is empathetic and understands people's wants and skills, which provides a huge value add in terms of professionalism to her company and how she conducts herself.
I remember her assistant gathering me (the groom) and some of the wedding party from high school (groomsmen) and just capturing us having fun and not casting judgment and making us feel excellent and calm at the moment.
Speaking very frankly, I would hire Jenny again for a family photoshoot, or a couples photoshoot.
Jenny Castro is not only a great human being and photographer, but adept at wedding photography, execution, communication (phone and texting), and bringing a very positive vibe the day of the wedding.
Let’s start by saying that Jenny is great at what she does, my wedding pictures turned out completely beautiful.. now when it came to the communication that’s where everything went...
wrong.. our wedding was on May 20, 2022 & we booked Jenny back in 2019 because we absolutely wanted her to do our wedding, we ended up picking the most expensive package which included our engagement pictures, wedding pictures, a USB, photo album & $150 dollars in pictures credit. At the beginning everything was great, after that everything was a mess I would text Jenny and she would never get back to, I literally had to text her multiple times just so she could get back to me, and emails forgeti about that.. we didn’t even get our engagement pictures because every time I texted her she would never get back to me.. the wedding day finally comes and everything when well, we wait 3 months to get our pictures and then I email & texted (9/19/2022) her to see how I can get my USB, album & my photo credits and I’m still waiting for my reply.. like I said her pictures are amazing, but her communication not so much ( and honestly I’m not sure it it was just towards us) but we paid so much money to be treated that way.
Jenny is the best. I knew once I saw my engagement photos that my wedding day pictures are going to be amazing. She listens to what you want and pays attention to the small details...
. I had a huge bridal party and she was able to manage all us and make everyone comfortable. Jenny is really
good at giving direction but not making you feel super posed for the picture. Her work speaks for itself but she’s also a fun person to be around. ❤️
Wow, where do I start with this amazing woman? After seeing Jenny’s work and reviews online, we knew we had to have her for our wedding. She is so easy to talk to, getting back to ...
us right away and making the planning process easy. She did our engagement shoot for us and it was honestly like working with a friend. Jenny has a great personality and was able to laugh along with my husband and I’s silliness and fun during our shoot. Our engagement photos were breathtaking, a work of art, and we highly anticipated meeting with her again for our wedding. We checked in with Jenny throughout the time before our wedding, and she made sure she knew everything we wanted for our wedding day.
When Jenny arrived the day of the wedding, it was again like seeing an old friend. She is so personable, which just makes the experience so much better. She was patient with us, and got every shot we wanted and more! Jenny is a master at her work, if there was ever a moment that a certain shot that I wanted came to my mind, Jenny was already ten steps ahead of me arranging it. My husband and I enjoyed Jenny so much and felt so lucky to have found such an amazing photographer and person. We have gotten a sneak peak of our wedding photos, and are sitting at the edge of our chair waiting for the beautiful creation Jenny will send us.
Thank you so much again Jenny for so beautifully capturing the most important day of our lives! I highly recommend her!
We had a unique situation in which we live in California but were getting married in Pennsylvania. We talked with Jenny via email but didn’t get to take advantage of an engagement ...
shoot with her to get to know her. We met her the day of the wedding and it was like we’ve know her for years. She made us few so comfortable and listened to our concerns and what type of photos we wanted. She is so talented and has great packages to meet every need. We have recommended her to everyone we know!
Jenny is AMAZING. She has such a natural eye and talent- we haven't even gotten our photos back yet (only a few teasers!) but already we are blown away. She was professional, fun, ...
flexible, and totally "blended in" with our group the day of our wedding. She offered advice when asked, but wasn't pushy, and didn't make our photo taking experience feel forces or unnatural (as is often the case with wedding photogs.) Her assistant, who is also a photographer was great to work with as well. They worked seamlessly together. They also went with the flow and got shots I asked them to get both beforehand and in the moment.
I have admired her work for a couple of years on facebook and instagram- it was a dream actually having her shoot my wedding. She is chill, down to earth, and unbelievably talented. I 100% would recommend Jenny to shoot any of your big events or special occasions!
Jenny is a very talented photographer and we are very happy we found her for our August wedding. She not only did our wedding pictures, but our engagement shoot as well. She gave...
us competitive pricing options and was super sweet for both events. She and Mary Beth were easy to work with - and even rolled with it when one of our guests (an amateur photographer) went rogue and decided to photograph the wedding himself. No kidding- Jenny was very accommodating when she removed him from the ceremony pictures after he found it appropriate to stand on the altar while we exchanged vows (yes, I'm rolling my eyes too). Things happen that you don't plan on your big day and when you have quality vendors like Jenny - somehow they don't even matter. I highly recommend Jenny and her team.
Jenny was simply amazing. She took any pictures asked. If she seen us getting pictures she would come over and ask if we wanted her to take them as well. She was such a pleasure to...
work with.
I wish I could give Jenny more than a 5 star rating. Her style is nothing short of amazing. She was so easy to work and communicate with. It’s obvious Jenny loves what she does ...
but she’s also extremely talented and it shows in every single shot. I will definitely use her again for future shoots and recommend her to anyone.
Jenny is AMAZING. She is super calm and such a pleasure to be around. She is by far one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day! She blended in so well, I barely noticed ...
where she was during the wedding. She has such great talent! Her sunset photos and veil photos are to die for! She has such great direction and knows exactly how to create such amazing photos! Can’t wait to see the rest of our photos! BOOK JENNY!
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!! Jenny has such a special talent which we were fortunate enough to have on our wedding day. She is quiet and reserved and you don't even know that her or any...
of her staff are there shooting. She is helpful and guides you to the perfect photo. She isn't pushy or authoritative. We were so glad to have her amazing talent capture our day in a way that only she could. THANK YOU JENNY for making our day that much more beautiful. You are so talented and run such a smooth business from start to finish.
My husband and I were so thrilled with Jenny's work on both our wedding and engagement photos. Her direction is very clear, and her understanding of what and where looks good was g...
reat. We really appreciate how easy she made the whole process for us. She was not at all overbearing, and did a stealthy job of blending in with our wedding guests WHILE getting awesome photos of them enjoying our wedding day. We went with one of her more budget friendly packages, which meant we would not have an assistant second shooter for the wedding. What amazed me is that she managed to get shots from so many angles throughout the wedding that you would have thought there were multiple photographers. Her specialty is the way she plays with natural lighting. Check out her portfolio and you'll know exactly what I mean. Honestly, she is so laid back and talented. We are so grateful to have had her document these incredible memories.
Jenny is absolutely AMAZING. Stop looking for a photographer and hire her! I cannot say enough great things about Jenny and her work. First off, she was flexible with meeting with...
us upfront and helped ensure that our photography package (including the albums included and prints) met exactly what we were looking for. Next were the engagement photos - she helped us pick a perfect location, with many different spots for photos ops. She was then even willing to drive out of her way to a second location, just so she could capture perfect photos right in front of where my husband proposed. She didn’t have to do this, but she insisted – wanting to make sure we have photos we loved, and that meant something to us. We have so many great photos to choose from for using on our save the dates. Then came prepping for the big day - she has continually been responsive throughout the wedding planning, and even post-wedding, process. She met with me a couple weeks before the wedding to go over logistics, some poses/photo ops I wanted to get and just in general ease my nerves about the whole thing. Day of the wedding – she was a woman on a mission! She was diligent, flexible, supportive, and just overall fantastic. I was extremely nervous ahead of the wedding and had a bit of a breakdown. She somehow was still able to capture the joy and excitement of the getting ready process. Then throughout the wedding day, she just blended in. Looking back through the photos, there are moments that I didn’t even know she was around for, but she magically was able to capture them perfectly! She kept us on track by reminding us of group photos or specific photos we had told her about taking ahead of time, but was flexible when we changed our mind, and she continually made sure we’d get what we wanted. It is clear from working with Jenny that she is passionate about what she does. You cannot go wrong with a photographer who cares just as much as you do that your photos are absolutely perfect. I’m beyond happy that we hired Jenny to capture our wedding day. We did not hire a videographer so I was depending on the photos to truly capture the memories, and she blew our expectations out of the water. They are fantastic, absolutely gorgeous photos and I cannot wait to put our albums together!! So if you haven’t figured it out by now with my review… Jenny is incredible.
My husband & I love Jenny's work. We know others who have used her for their wedding,engagements, etc & really like her style/technic. Jenny is great to work with & very open to tr...
ying different things. We loved working with her & can't wait to see all of our photos :)
From the beginning to the end of our wedding day journey, I am so glad that we had Jenny Castro with us. She was so responsive and flexible to our preferences and was the consummat...
e professional. She took an amazing engagement shoot (included in our package), and we used the photos to help decorate and personalize our cocktail hour space. Moreover, her wedding day pictures were amazing. (I recently got them and have been flipping back and forth between my wedding album on Facebook and those of other people, thinking how lucky we were to snag her...the difference is clear!) We will treasure her photos forever! She was a dream to work with. I highly, highly recommend Jenny Castro!
Once I saw Jenny's photos I was hooked on having her as our photographer. She worked with us on coming up with a package that fulfilled all of our needs and didn't go over our budg...
et. We knew that we had made the right choice as soon as we saw how wonderful our engagement session pictures came out. On the day of I was a little upset with the weather. It was pouring. Jenny made the most out of the situation and positioned us in front of a puddle that reflected us and made for some of my favorite out of the many beautiful photos we received. Jenny has a real gift for capturing candid photos that bring you right back to the day and the emotions upon looking at them. We will cherish these photos for years to come.
We heard about Jenny from a friend at work. We checked out her work and fell in love!! She takes a perspective of an artists eye, not just a photographer.
On the day of the ...
event, which was an evening ceremony in Rittenhouse Square Park, Philadelphia, she met us when it was getting a little chaotic. Her calm demeanor and tone just made the other stuff melt away. She was funny and relaxed. It made us really feel good that she could get us to see each other in a moment that was truly ours to share. We've only gotten a peek at the photos she took that night & we anxiously await what is to come!! Thanks to Jenny!
Jenny was an absolute pleasure to work with and she captured amazing photographs of our day. She truly has creative and artistic vision and this comes through in all of her photos....
Great communication, arrived early, flexible, upfront pricing, and extremely talented. We cannot thank her enough - we highly recommend using Jenny Castro Photography.
Jenny Castro is incredible. Her eye for wedding photography is so inspiring. She captured my husband and I with such grace and feeling. I don't know how she does it but she is gr...
