KIND WORDS
Jen is an amazing photographer and I loved everything about working with her. Everything was easy- setting up our first meeting, engagement photos, the day of the wedding, and receiving our photos and album afterwards. And the photos were amazing! I was definitely concerned that I would not be able to express exactly what kind of photos I wanted, but whether I did or not she definitely figured it out as there was a perfect mix of unique/artistic photos that are perfect for frames and photo albums as well as standard group shots which I really wanted for the memory of who was there and what a great time we had. It was definitely an investment but well worth it and if I had to go back and do it again I would still choose her. My favorite part was seeing her pick good spots for photos based on the lighting, background, etc. - she picked spots I never would have thought of (especially for the engagement photos, we were on a farm) and they all turned out great! Everyone loved our photos once they came out and I was especially glad that she posted a few immediately after the wedding. I would definitely recommend Jen to a friend and I hope to use her services again in the future!

Jen was fantastic from start to finish. From the day we met over coffee, we felt totally comfortable with her and knew we were in good hands. Our engagement shoot was outdoors in 15 degree weather, and she still managed to stay upbeat and keep us laughing.
Our wedding was totally DIY and a bit disorganized at times, but Jen came prepared and knew how to keep things light when it could have felt hectic. In addition to her wonderful personality and professionalism, she also has incredible talent. She has an amazing eye for light, color, and composition, and both the portraits and candids were beautiful. Almost a year later I still flip through the photos whenever I want to relive the day, and I know we will cherish our photos for the rest of our lives.

A few days before my outdoor wedding, the weather forecast was making it pretty clear that it was going to rain on my wedding day. After years of planning, making every last detail perfect, I have to admit that I was pretty bummed, but I was most upset that I thought we wouldn't get good pictures. I could not have been more wrong. Jen and her shooting partner totally embraced the rain with us, and we got tons of amazing shots. Our groomsmen getting blown away by their umbrellas? Check. Romantic kissing in the dark and rain pictures? Check. She captured the love and fun of the night perfectly, we could not have asked for a better photographer!

Jen was quick at answering all of our questions when we were planning our wedding (so many emails we sent her!) and was very thorough throughout the whole day. She had some great pointers about how to formulate portraits and was so great at keeping us focused! I got so flustered during the weekend with everything we had to do and it was great having her there to remind us what we wanted (thank you, Jen!). She was kind, efficient, hilarious, and a great fit to our party.
My fiancee and I were not planning an especially fancy wedding, and I wasn't sure what that would look like in photographs. I have also attended weddings where multiple photographers darted throughout the ceremony as guests with cameras and phones took pictures too. Jen worked solo, and I never noticed her. Later as we went through the photos I found myself saying "when did she even take this photo?" To me, much of her skill was in the way she was able to let our ceremony flow on its own and never interrupt. She also had some great ideas for getting our guests to put their own phones away that worked flawlessly, without coming across as rude.
I couldn't be happier with our photos. We look at them all together often, and I'm transported back. One spends a lot of money on one day, so I'm so happy that we have these photos so we can go back any time we want.

When we spoke with Jen on the phone for the first time, my fiancee and I couldn't stop laughing! Jen has a GREAT sense of humor and made us feel comfortable on the phone right away! My husband is a bit camera shy and Jen got him comfortable in front of the camera and got some amazing shots of him alone! The candids Jen took of us, our family and friends are so amazing and captured the gorgeous, special setting we were in. There were honestly too many good photos to choose from for framing; our posed pictures are amazing, we look relaxed, happy and in love (which is how we felt) instead of feeling slightly awkward!!

I was a little nervous when starting our engagement photo shoot. Jen made us feel comfortable right away. She made us laugh and really took the time to find out who we were as a couple so our photos represented our relationship. We were so happy with our engagement photos and were not the slightest bit worried that our wedding photos would be anything less than amazing. We were not disappointed. Jen has a great sense of humor and is such a pleasure to work with. Leading up to our wedding, it looked like there were going to be thunderstorms and I was getting more and more worried about our big day, particularly with what our pictures would look like. Jen called a few days before and reassured me that no matter what the weather, we would have beautiful wedding pictures. Luckily, the weather held out and we were able to have our dream wedding. It was so nice to know that our photographer had experience in all types of weather and could deliver no matter what the circumstance. I would strongly recommended hiring Jennifer Joubert Photography for your wedding!

My husband and I are both pretty camera shy, and Jen made the experience so enjoyable. She was so friendly and encouraging, and found the right balance between making suggestions and stepping back and just letting things flow naturally. My family and friends thought she was great too. The pictures came out beautiful, we couldn't be happier!
