Jenifer Rutherford Photography

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...

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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! :)

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!!

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!

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 suite I 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.

We really loved working with Jen. In addition to being a great photographer, she is really easy to work with and helps you feel more relaxed and comfortable.

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!

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!
