Hi! my name is Alex. My wife, Christine, and I had our wedding a year ago, to the day. Its so crazy the things that can happen in a year. Since our wedding, in which Jenni Vincente of JenniV Photography, I have lost my father and one of Christine's family members has been diagnosed with cancer. Its been a long and grueling year.
Out of all of this, we have recently discovered that Christine is now pregnant with out first child! I am so happy words cannot describe. When reviewing the year, we began looking through our photographs, after all it is where our story truly began for us. Our wedding pictures, that were taken by Jenni and accompanied by another of her photographers, captured my joy at its pinnacle. (this is already better than my vows by the way- Christine is laughing).
What i am blessed with is knowing that Jenni was the most brilliant photographer of her profession. I would know. I am by no means a photographer, but I have been to one a many weddings in my time. Im like that girl on 27 Dresses, except the love romance part. I have many friends and in all of them I have had to be part of the party. Jenni, unlike most photographers both helped us prop our wedding shots and found an artistry in the chaos of the day. She was courteous and strong. And lets face it, trying to control your party without a babysitter is hard enough, add a a little liquor and its more appropriate for the one person who has to capture these very moments, to be a little stern. She was great at maneuvering our guest and our party in such ways it brought more ease to my wife and I. Plus, she is pretty (Christine agrees) and listening to a pretty person is not always easy to do, you almost expect less. But not in Jennis case.
When reviewing the pictures that Jenni and her associate captured, I found pictures of the last time both my mother and father were together dancing. Together laughing. Together eating. Together loving. And it wasn't just with my parents or Christines parents, but with the entire party. They also gathered great shots for artistic interest, that they both added later and manipulated to make ordinary shots, extraordinary. Without theses pictures (and the DVD that we purchased after the fact) none of these moments would have been captured or remembered as vividly as they are today.
As with most things during weddings, our initial meet was already beyond expectations. We were referred to her from a friend of a friend. And her other reviews were (looking back at it) understated. But places like Weddingwire.com helped us make our already made up minds. Jenni explained to us about her different packages (all named after her favorite shoes). We were hesitant at first but we made the leap. She also suggested a GREAT DJ. Mr. Charles Bernard is eccentric and charismatic. He helped in creating the atmosphere. After our wedding and after we reviewed our "proofs" we upgraded at no extra hassle to either party, and got a larger album and the DVD, of course.
Well Done. Well Done.
I also, hear now that she has one of those kiosk picture taking booths that snaps pictures of people at their best and then prints it out on this little script of paper. You know, the ones where you make funny faces with your friends or lovers and it captures three or four of your goofiest looking pictures. We would have for sure had that as well!
So great! And so wonderful. Thanks for all your work Jenni. We value it more than you know!
Alex-
