where we celebrate all types of love, all the time
welcome to the sunshine sentiments portfolio -
At Sunshine Sentiments, we understand the importance of feeling safe, comfortable, and confident. We take pride of celebrating all types of love- because love is love- no matter where you are or who you are. We take pride on advocating for the LGBTQ+ community, and we welcome everyone here.
I'm Jena and my photography style is elevated, polished, and true to color. My approach is primarily documentary - meaning I let the day flow naturally, but I offer posing, guidance, and direction where needed.
I'm located in Raleigh, North Carolina, but I frequently travel all over the states- and even the world- to document love stories of all kinds.
So take a look around, feel free to ask questions; we hope to celebrate your love soon!

and cherish the fleeting, sentimental moments.
Let’s skip to the good part
We're Jena & Jordan - a husband and wife photo and video duo documenting sentimental moments for humans in love.
As a North Carolina wedding photographer, I enjoy working with couples who feel everything deeply and want their day documented with heart. I focus on the candid, in‑between moments that tell the full story of your celebration-from sun‑kissed portraits on the bay to teary vows and wild dance‑floor laughter. It is my goal to help make even most camera‑shy couples feel comfortable, so your photos look like you: authentic, joyful, and effortlessly romantic.
I blend editorial‑worthy imagery with a storytelling approach that feels timeless, not trendy. I pay close attention to the sentimental details-the heirloom jewelry, the hand‑written vows, the way the light hits the water at golden hour-so your gallery becomes a collection of meaningful moments rather than just posed pictures. If you’re dreaming of a wedding photographer in Tampa, Florida who will celebrate your love story with intention, warmth, and a little bit of sunshine, I would be honored to document every chapter.
Jordan is a master of wearing all hats. He started out as my assistant and would help me out on weddings and shoots. He quickly learned photography, became my second shooter, and suggested we start to learn videography together. When you book a photo and video package with us, he is typically the one behind the videography camera!
