Reviews for Jenifer Rutherford Photography




I love taking pictures & my husband hates taking them! He never smiles! When we first met I knew I was going to Hire her for our wedding. First she was the Sweetest person I have come across, & second her work was AMAZING!!!!
We met with her for Engagement Portraits, & I was a little nervous that we weren't going to get great pictures just because my husband REFUSES to SMILE in pictures! By the end of our session with her HE had become a Camera HAM and was Smiling and following Jenifers directions, I think we created a monster!!!!!
I received my Wedding Proofs Exactly 1 month from our wedding date, it was impossiable to pic, she captured EVERY MOMENT of our special day & even some things we didn't even get to see with all the craziness!
Thank you Jenifer for doing such a great job! WE LOVE YOU!

Jenifer Rutherford Photography was my favorite vendor! She plays off the taste and style of the bride and groom and through her photos captures the ambiance and emotion of the day. Her photos are absolutely stunning and will be treasured for a lifetime! It was very important for me to feel comfortable with the person who would be documenting this special day. She was a delight to work with- flexible, responsive and professional. The day of the wedding she kept us on schedule, got all the must have photos, and was unobtrusive in your style. I would without hesitation recommend Jenifer Rutherford Photography!

Jenifer Rutherford Photography was the best! She was great to work with and shot the most amazing pictures of us for our engagement shoot and on our wedding day. In our mind she rated the highest in all areas due to the high quality of her service, prompt responsiveness, professionalism, good value, and flexibility. She also won a contest with one of the photos she shot of us. We loved working with Jen and highly recommend Jenifer Rutherford Photography!
GUEST




We are so thankful that Jenifer Rutherford put together the beautiful story of our wedding day for us to keep! Her creativity and artful eye when shooting was what impressed us the most! She had artistic ability to recognize areas on our farm that created the absolute perfect rustic-farm setting for our wedding pictures. She also managed to shoot so much of the farm's beauty, and intricate detail both outside and inside the house before we even started our pre-ceremony photo shoot! As we looked through the pictures we were able to see so many moments that flew by on the day of the wedding. Or moments that we did not get to see at all, like my husbands face in the church when he first saw me; all of the flower girls and ring bearers running down the isle, and all of the reception details that made the day special.All of the shots were taken with a such an artistic eye, which is clearly why I love them! Her style of shooting was perfectly matched to our needs, seamless and unintrusive. We would highly recommend Jenifer to anyone!

Jen was the photographer for a friend's wedding years ago in which I was a bridesmaid. I remember thinking at the time, "I will hunt her down if I have to when I get married." Sure, enough, I did. She's wonderfully creative, kind, patient and I swear, with the exception of the Portrait photos, you never would've known she was there. So unobtrusive, yet she was able to capture so many beautiful photos on such a special day for my husband and I. She's professional, very easy to get in contact with, accomodating, easy-going and supportive. On such a crazy day, she's right there keeping you grounded.Thanks again Jen.

Jenifer was our photographer for our May 21, 2011 wedding. She did an amazing job, she has a great talent. I never take a good picture and somehow she managed to take pictures that I even like of myself, hundreds of them!! Not only does she know how to take amazing photographs, she is very professional, patient, flexible and a great personality. With my family all these things were very much needed! She really was a pleasure to work with.Thanks Jenifer! Kathleen & Craig Smith

Jenifer was a pleasure to deal with and we were extremely happy with the photos of our wedding. I would recommend her highly, as she was professional, courteous, helpful, and of course talented.

I've known Jenifer since 2004, when I worked in a well-known art gallery in Red Bank, NJ. I met Jenifer when the gallery began to show her work; we would communicate frequently getting arrangements together for her work. Immediately I found Jenifer to be very kind and laid-back, as well as a terrific artist. Soon, I learned that in addition to fine art photography she also does weddings. I had a sister and a good friend getting married the same summer (2005) and I recommended Jenifer to both of them. She did an amazing job on both weddings, so when it finally was my turn to get married, I didn't even have to think about whom to call for my photography.I am thrilled to endorse Jenifer Rutherford Photography. In the 5 years since she did my sister's and friend's weddings, she has honed her skills ever further. The photos she took of my wedding day were absolutely phenomenal. With Jenifer behind the lens, your wedding photos will be unique and gorgeous, without the photographer's "style" overshadowing the story of your wedding day (which bothers me about some other photographers). She has a keen eye for composition and knows exactly how to get a great shot even with the most camera-shy people. Beyond all this, she is a pleasure to work with and is a consummate professional. On your wedding day, you and your guests will hardly even know she is there, she is so unobtrusive. But she's there every step of the way, getting priceless shots of your wedding day that you will cherish forever.Thank you Jenifer!!

Jenifer was so sweet and easy and fun to work with. She also kept us on track and focused, which is really helpful on your wedding day when there's so much going on! We have so many beautiful and impressive shots to choose from...she really captured what we wanted, from romantic shots of me and my husband, to bigger group/family shots, to artsy ones in NYC (where we had our reception). I've gotten great compliments from friends and family on how the photos came out. Plus she was fast - we had our online library in about 2 weeks and our proofbook in about 1 month.
GUEST




Jen is great. She is creative, talented, professtional and a hard worker. Every time i turned around, Jen was there snapping pics! Even my guests commented on how hard she worked. Needless to say, the pictures were wonderful. I absolutely love them. She made the whole day look like a fairy tale! I wouild highly recommend Jen.
GUEST




We used Jenifer Rutherford for our engagement as well as our wedding photos and cannot speak highly enough of her and her photography. Simply put, she’s an extremely gifted photographer, and she’s a pleasure to work with. I didn’t think anyone could get me to feel comfortable in front of a camera, but Jen’s upbeat and down-to-earth manner made it not only easy, but fun. No matter what, I always felt that I could trust her to make me look good. And I was never disappointed. I can’t think of a higher compliment for a photographer!Most importantly, we absolutely LOVE our photos. Jen has an artistic eye, and an ability to really capture feelings in her photos, and we wound up with so many great shots that we’re having a hard time deciding which ones will go into our wedding album. We couldn’t have asked for anything better. I would absolutely recommend Jenifer Rutherford. If she has your date available...hire her!
GUEST




I highly recommend Jenifer Rutherford for your wedding, shower, baby photos, haircut....anything! She is amazing! Her creativity, knowledge of photography, commitment to each shoot, and love for photography, have given me the best wedding album I could have asked for. Her punctuality, quick responses to questions, professionalism, and her flexibility made for a peacful and enjoyable experience. She is able to capture the personality of each person through her sense of humor and her calm, professional presence. She makes each person feel comfortable.
GUEST




I could not have asked for a better photographer!! Jenifer stayed in touch with me during the entire wedding planning. If I had a question, she was quick to answer it. The photographs are beautiful, Jenifer was able to get everyone together for the posed pictures quickly and the candid photos from throughout the night are fantastic. I love every one of my photos. I would highly recommend Jenifer as a photographer.
GUEST




Jen is wonderful! So easy to work with and very professional! We wanted a photographer who would take great pictures but not be in everyone's faces...Jen exceeded our expectations. She literally got a picture of every single person that was at our wedding plus breath taking shots of the hubby & myself...and our two babies. She also takes "different" photos which drew us to her the most. For example, for took a black and white photo of my two year old's feet {in her ballet shoes} during the reception. It is truly a wonderful, extremely precious photo. She definitely has a talent in what she does. Through the whole process she seemed more as a friend taking pictures of my wedding than a stranger. It wasn't awkward or weird at all. I highly recommend her and I am hoping I get pregnant again with #3 so she can take belly and newborn shots! :)
GUEST




Jenifer was lovely to have around all day, her laid back manner was appreciated. But she did not shy away from organizing tons of family for various pictures. We love the results, and would recommend her to any friend. Thanks Jenifer!!
GUEST




Jenifer Rutherford is an amazing photographer. She photographed my sister's wedding and 3 years later I wouldn't consider using anyone else. She will include all of the posed shots that you request but she really works her magic with the candid photos. She has a way of blending into the crowd and catching all the important moments as they occur naturally. She photographed my court ceremony, church ceremony and reception. Shortly after she photographed my nephew as a newborn and we hope to have her at our baptisms next. She is now a standard at any important family celebration!
GUEST




My husband and I truly loved having Jenifer as our photographer. She was extremely professional and friendly. She provided us with all the information we could possible need during the whole planning process. She was very honest and upfront about each step we went through. Working with her made both of us feel at ease and we were able to have fun and enjoy our experiences with her photographing us. She did an amazing job with our engagement photo shoot and during our wedding day. Her work is impeccable and beautiful. She is extremely talented and we would tell everyone we know to hire her.

Exquisite Artist, Poised Professional, & Truly Lovely Person!!!While spending countless hours joyfully perusing Jenifer’s photographs of our wedding, my husband, family, friends & I realized something amazing … Jenifer is not just “a photographer;” she is an artist whose “paint brush” happens to be a camera. Jenifer does not just “take pictures;” she gracefully and masterfully captures moments in time – exciting, endearing, tender, powerful, humorous, romantic, innocent, and playful. She possesses an exceptional gift of perceiving patterns of beauty and evidences of sentiment which she skillfully reveals in and through her work.Having Jenifer photograph our wedding was undeniably one of the best decisions (if not THE best decision) we made in planning our special day. We have been (and continue to be) so impressed and richly blessed by her. We are very grateful to Jenifer for being one of the people most responsible for making our day all that we hoped it would be.If you have the opportunity to work with Jenifer, please take my advice – Jump at it! We certainly hope to have another chance to do so – not only because of the high caliber of her work, but because she is such a delight.Jenifer is a consummate professional and a truly lovely person. She responds lightning-fast to emails and phone calls in a refreshingly-detailed, and often humorous, manner. (She answers all of your questions quickly and thoroughly.) She is down-to-earth, easy-going, fun-loving, encouraging, and supportive. Jenifer was integral in helping to make our wedding day as smooth & stress-free as possible. She helped to keep me calm & focused, and she concentrated on the details for us!While accomplishing her work, Jenifer is totally unobtrusive and courteous. When my husband and I first met with Jenifer, she shared some hand-written thank-you notes from previous clients. We chuckled upon reading one client’s comment, “If you were any more inconspicuous, you could rob a bank!” How true this proved to be (regarding Jenifer’s subtle nature, of course. :) During our wedding ceremony and reception, we hardly realized that Jenifer was in the background, near us, or even right next to us!At the end of our late-afternoon ceremony, my husband and I suddenly shortened the amount of time available for “official” photo-taking (before our reception) by deciding, literally at the last minute, to have a formal “receiving line.” Jenifer smoothly adapted to our change of plans. Upon completion of our greetings (which Jenifer beautifully captured) she politely and adeptly gathered our family, bridesmaids, and groomsmen to take our final group photos in “record time” without even “breaking a sweat.” (I wish we had not ended up subjecting her to this, but her ability flow so easily with the change is evidence of her professionalism and poise – so appreciated by a stressed bride! :)Jenifer’s exquisite artistry continues to take our breath away. Some of my favorite images are those which Jenifer personally arranged by juxtaposing my beloved “bridal” items (crystal necklace, embellished shoes, sequined purse, printed invitations & programs, antique room key, etc…) with the sculptured stone & leaded glass windows, antique doorknobs, boldly-colored carpeting, and other such striking accents in the castle-like manor at which we were married. For example …~My lavender pumps with pearl embellishments perfectly poised on eye-popping, scarlet-carpeted stairs~My sequined purse perched upon a leaded-glass and smooth stone window~Our wedding rings strategically placed, circling our names, on a copy of our wedding invitation, illuminated by bright sunlight on an antique windowsill in the bridal suiteI marveled at each resulting photo, eager to see the next gorgeous display of my treasured items which Jenifer had created!It may be challenging to believe that one person can posses all these types of gifts and strengths – artistic, professional, organizational, and interpersonal; but Jenifer has them all – in abundance. You will adore her and her work.

Jenifer was great! She took amazing pictures! I couldn't be happier and have gotten a ton of compliments on my pictures! I would definitely recommend her to any bride! She really was helpful with forming the timeline and helping the day go smoothly!
GUEST




We found Jenifer to be very professional and totally flexible. She was extremely attentive to us and she was so easy to work with, in general. The day of the wedding was somewhat stressful (due to things out of our control) but she was so accomodating and understanding. She really made an effort to help us feel comfortable and at ease. During the reception, we didnt even know she was there...but of course she was always around and never far away from us getting awesome candid shots of us with our guests. We truly loved her!
GUEST




I was very impressed with the creativity, professionalism, and responsiveness of Jenifer Rutherford. She is very easy to work with and made the engagement session and taking all the wedding photos fun and relaxing. She had wonderful ideas and was very open to mine as well. I am thrilled with the finished product. My photos are beautiful and unique, and I feel that she captured all the emotion and excitement of my wedding day wonderfully. I highly recommend Jenifer Rutherford Photography.
GUEST




Jenifer took beautiful, high quality photographs of my wedding day. She was a pleasure to work with and enjoyable to have around on my wedding day. Guests barely knew she was there, yet she caught every important moment of our day. Prior to the wedding, she was easy to communicate with and worked with us to plan for the photographs we wanted shot on the day. Her work speaks for itself... she has an amazing eye. Looking at the proofs, it is as if we can relive our entire day. I highly recommend her services and would be happy to use her again for any photography need I may have in the future.
GUEST




Jenifer is wonderful and the utmost professional! I want to work with her again and need a reason to plan another party! She treated us as if we were the most important people to her; always explaining and answering my questions; ready and willing to meet me wherever and whenever; and her photos are beautiful! I looked amazing and I never like photos of myself. I can't say enough good things and would be happy to recommend services to anyone.
GUEST




Jenifer was amazing and even my guests were commenting on how great she was. I would use her again in a heartbeat! The proofs came back very quick and they are beautiful. She really is a great photographer.
GUEST

I can't express enough how great Jenifer Rutherford is. I had been to two prior weddings and saw her work and knew that when I got married, I HAD to have her for my wedding. She is down to earth, friendly as well as professional. She was able to catch every important moment and memory from our wedding day from beginning to end. Her pictures are beautiful pieces of art. She really tries to individualize and capture the mood of the day. I am very happy with her work and would recommend (and have recommended) her to anyone.
GUEST




Jenifer is truly a pro in every sense of the word. From our very first meeting, she was extremely nice, patient and reliable. After meeting several others, my husband and I knew immediately that she was the photographer we wanted to work with. Not only were her prices very fair, but what set her apart was that she was willing to work with us in executing any ideas that we had regarding the shoot. Her turnaround time was excellent and she provided our photos in a timely manner. The quality of the finished product overall was exceptional. We continue to call her for all of our photography needs!!! :)
GUEST




Jennifer and her assistant took so many spectacular pictures that it is really hard to narrow them down into an album. They got every picture we wanted and you never even knew they were there. So unobtrusive, but were present for every special moment we wanted to capture. I would recommend her to anyone (and I do). Worth every penny!!!!
GUEST




FABULOUS!!! I interviewed several photographers, and Jen impressed me immediatey. She was very professional, and LISTENED to everything I wanted. She gave suggestions, but didn't push. I'd book her again in a second.
GUEST




Jen is an amazing, professional, artistic photographer. We have had the pleasure of working with her on several occasions for our engagement pictures, our wedding, our brother's wedding, and recently photographing our two sons. It's simple, if she is available book her, you will be thrilled.
GUEST




cannot say enough good things!!! after I got married, I have since used jenifer for my photography needs 3 more times and recommended her to everyone I know ... .
GUEST




Jenifer is a true professional and she does a spectacular job on any project she handles. Our wedding photos are incredibly gorgeous, and she also captured our humor and gave us everything we hoped for, and more. She is incredibly talented with a keen sharp eye. Thank you!
GUEST




When we found Jenifer we knew we had to get her for our wedding. Just seeing the few photos she had online we were convinced she was the best photographer. Working with Jenifer was great! She was very polite and professional the whole time. Her schedule was very flexible and she did everything she could to make sure we got all the photos we wanted her to get. The day of the wedding she was very fun and pleasant to work with. She was also very conscientious of the heat and tyring to get all the shots quickly and to allow us to try and stay in the shade where it was cooler. The only "downside" was that she was a little bit expensive for us with her packages but we were able to come up with a solution that allowed us to still use her as our photographer. Now we are anxiously awaiting for her pictures to come in I know they will be absolutely amazing!!

Jenifer was professional, always available and most importantly talented. I would highly recommend her to any bride!

Jen's style is completely professional and unobtrusive. My guests didn't even realize that we had a photographer there. Any special requests were quickly attended to and we were completely satisfied with album layout she designed. Jen has a beautiful eye for the artistic elements of any setting. I will definitely use her again for any special occasions.
I have worked with many of Jenifer's brides and they speak very highly of her.
Throughout my 16 year career, I have met many wedding professionals. Some make a lasting impression and some I never see more than once. Jenifer is one of those pros that I look forward to working with. She is unobtrusive when capturing the moment. She is fun and professional, and I believe her work speaks for itself. She is one of those people that you know you can trust and that cares about her work and her clients. Given the opportunity, I suggest brides consider choosing Jenifer to be their photographer.
I have woked with Jenifer on many occasions and am always impressed by her professionalism and her passion for taking care of her clients. The only thing that beats it is the end quality of the work she produces. She is a tue artist. She really is a fantastic photographer and I highly recommend her services.
Jenifer Rutherford took exquisite photos of a recent wedding RPL did at the Palace. The details she captured were so incredible! Very talented and professional, she is also fun to work with. Rose Petals and Lace highly recommend Jenifer!
I have worked with Jenifer and always recommend her to clients. Her style fits well with a variety of clients who are looking not only for "photo journalism" but classic portraits. I always look forward to working with her!!
