Jennifer S Rau Photography

We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Jen Rau. Couldn't have been happier with the shots she captured. Amazing. She is so talented! Be sure to check out her blog, it's a great way to see her work.

The best photographer! If you are looking for a fabulous photographer, contact Jennifer Rau. She just finished our engagement photos and is doing our wedding as well. We could not be more pleased and amazed with her work. She is so incredible and talented at capturing the moments, emotion, everything. When we were looking for a photographer, my fiance was really critical of other photographers' work, but when I showed him her website he said that was it. Her unique photo journalistic style and ability to capture the spirit of the moment was exactly what we were looking for. And to top it all off, she is lots of fun and super cool to be around. I honestly can't say enough good things about her. I can't wait to see our wedding photos when she is done.

Here is a link to our photos on her blog. www.jsrphotography.com/blog
We are the ones listed as jerelyn and dan, e-session, santa barbara.
She also did a photo montage that you can see at www.jsrphotography.com/jerelynanddanengagement

The most difficult vendor to chose for your wedding is a photographer. They have the crucial role of documenting priceless memories. You put your faith in one person to capture the essence of the day; the emotion, the excitement, the decor you spent months perfecting. 800 plus photos later...I want to cry all over again...and I'm not a crier. I'm looking at photos of my husband and cannot believe my photographer got him to look so relaxed and natural (he hates photographs and all the fuss).

Jennifer Rau has an amazing eye. Our wedding reception is on the beach but we bypass the usual scene. Our after-ceremony photos find their way to the nearby train tracks. Jen's idea. I spend months obsessed with the details that matter to me--only to miss them during all the commotion of the day. Jen photographs it all, the artichoke votives, the cauliflower in the arrangements, even the surf and turf before it was devoured (my husband is a chef thus the food theme). Jen also captures split second moments with her own unique artistic twist. Photos like a single pair of hands clasped above a sea of heads or my nephew of 3 years and his fascination with cameras.

Needless to say, Jen is good...really good. But don't just take my word for it. You should always check out samples from all your vendors.

Good luck and enjoy the day!

Jen rocks. We recommended her to our friends' who got married a few months before we did and they used her too. She was easy to work with, and her talent is amazing...I never knew anyone could look as good as she made us look...she really captured the moment....and made being the center of attention completely comfortable.
