Jena is truly one of the most talented photographers I’ve ever seen! She has an artistic eye and is incredibly creative with her shoots. She makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera and captures the sweetest moments. My partner and I are forever grateful for the photos we have from Jena. I recommend her to everyone I know.

-Jen & Jordan
We were fortunate enough to have Sunshine Sentiments capture both our engagement and wedding. Jena is so creative and is willing to go any length to get the shot she envisions.
Get in touch with me! Tell me about yourselves, your love story, and the amazing vision you have. I will be in touch within 48 hours.
Step One.
We set up a phone call so we can get to know each other a bit better! Connection is huge to me. I want you to vibe with me and tell me all about your hopes and dreams for your big day. We'll talk about your dogs and their funny quirks all while going over your dream wedding day.
Step Two.
You sign your contract and submit your retainer, and you'll be official! One month out from your big day, we will have another planning call to go over your timeline and shot list and all the most important, intricate details of your wedding day.
Step Three.
The big day! All the planning and excitement will finally be here. Following the timeline and the plan put in place, we will get to experience your day together, celebrating you every moment of the day, capturing all the details you worked on and all the moments you'll cherish forever in a documentary, photojournalistic view.
Step Four.
Delivering the goods. Sneak peeks get delivered within 72 hours, full gallery is delivered with 8 weeks, portrait sessions in 2. Videos are delivered within 3 months.
Step Five.
Let's stay friends! I want to support your lives as newlyweds and celebrate you every year on your anniversary!
Step Six.
