A chilly fall wedding at the lovely Twickenham House in Jefferson, North Carolina. I had the opportunity to work with Enowen Photography as a second photographer and meet this fun couple.
Experiencing shooting at weddings venues close to my new home in West Jefferson, North Carolina has been a thrill! Twickenham House was high on my list. With stunning mountain top views, cozy fireside reception vibes, and a house that is FULL of character where couples get ready for the festivities - it has a lot to offer.
RIVERSIDE CEREMONY AT BROWN MOUNTAIN BEACH
Married by the river, surrounded by family and friends at Brown Mountain Beach Resort. A magical place, tucked away in the North Carolina mountains. Witnessing Stephanie and Spencer’s wedding day was a treat for all involved!
The kind words they shared following their wedding day warmed my heart.
“What makes Jenni the best photographer in N.C.? She makes you smile, your real smile!
Pictures are said to speak a thousand words, and that is the whole truth when it comes to Jenni’s work. My wife and I cannot put into words how thrilled we were with Jenni and her photography. Not only is Jenni’s natural light photography nothing shy of a perfected art form, but she is also a delightful human being who shares her charisma and confidence with those she photographs, making your photoshoot an enjoyable and memorable experience.
Jenni was the consummate professional without being stuffy, and over-focused on just taking the pictures, she somehow shares your experience with you and feels out the best way to capture your moment. Jenni’s photography captivates the essence of experiences, it isn't staged or corny, but an organic and warm moment, leaving you thrilled to share with others.
During an impromptu engagement shoot, my wife and I first met Jenni about seven months before our wedding, so Jenni could understand our essence and get an idea of our style. When my wife and I saw the result of something as off the cuff as meeting at a brewery to take some photos, we, along with our family, loved the product, and our friends were jealous! Not enough may be said of Jenni’s ability to see people in their environment and capture candid moments without impeding upon them.
During our wedding day, Jenni had the remarkable ability to command the attention of our guests for the critical “group shots”; then was able to blend back in and buzz around like a bee collecting the best bits of pollen, noticing the moments we would have missed otherwise, while also taking time to be sure my wife and I took our photos in the various settings we desired. Jenni Chandler is a photography ninja!
My wife and I have already decided should we ever need any other photography services, we would do whatever we needed to make sure Jenni was the one photographing our crucial moments. Jenni has a soulful quality to her presence and practice which transcends the medium of photography, living forever in our hearts and minds whenever we reflect on our most special day.
Thank you, Jenni Chandler, you took something we dreaded and turned it into an experience we loved.
If you aren’t hiring Jenni as your photographer in N.C., you are doing yourself and the preservation of your memories a disservice.” - Stephanie and Spencer, Bride and Groom
