Wedding planning can seem overwhelming — but photography with me? That’s going to be one of the best parts!
I absolutely love wedding days, even after 20 years of photographing them. The energy, the emotion, the light—when everything just falls beautifully into place, and you can feel it. I’ll guide you through a thoughtful timeline that keeps things smooth and stress-free, while making sure you feel comfortable, confident, and completely yourselves.
You focus on marrying your best friend. I’ll be right there, making sure you can actually enjoy every second of it.
Oh, and I’ll probably tear up during your first dance — just a heads up.
Honestly, I can’t think of anything I’d rather be doing than using my experience to capture real, true happiness. Seriously! After 20 years of photographing weddings, I still get excited about every single one. From the quiet, emotional moments to the dance party at the reception, being part of your special day is truly my jam.
Another passion of mine? Planning. I’m all about keeping track of life’s moving parts—you should see my weekly planner! When it comes to weddings, though, planning is my FAVORITE. I planned my own wedding (in just six months!) and my sister’s wedding in 2020—yes, it was as wild as it sounds. So I GET IT. Planning a wedding is a lot of work, and my goal is to make at least the photography part of it as smooth and stress-free as possible.
With my help, we’ll create a perfect timeline that ensures stunning images while keeping your day fun and worry-free. Plus, if you need advice on other parts of your big day, I’m happy to share tips and tricks I’ve learned over the years.
My photography style is natural, with bright colors and big smiles. I love working with people in love, which is why I’ve dedicated my career to wedding photography.
When I’m not capturing love stories as a Grand Rapids photographer, you’ll find me hanging out with my two energetic pre-teen daughters, searching for a cute kitty to snuggle, or losing myself in a good book. I’m also a fan of breathtaking sunsets, cozy blankets, and tackling a 1,000-piece puzzle in my downtime, if I can find any!
I can’t wait to hear your story and learn how I can help make your wedding day unforgettable!

Jenna was very professional, personable, responsive, and creative! She was one of the most responsive vendors we dealt with. Every communication and interaction with her was so pleasant and professional. She was organized and thorough. She really got to know us as a couple and made photos such a fun experience. We just got our sneak peak photos back from the wedding and they are gorgeous! We’ve gotten so many compliments from our family and friends. Jenna and her assistant Jess are so talented and we are so glad we booked with Jenna Rose Photography!

Jenna was so wonderful to work with! I truly enjoyed the wedding photography worksheet she emailed us early on, which helped my husband and I figure out what shots, moments, and groups of family & friends we wanted to capture during the wedding.
We had an overcast day, but wow- the photos still popped and look amazing! Our photos are beautiful, flattering, and just simply lovely. I absolutely recommend Jenna for any photography needs. And would love to do a future boudoir shoot with her as well. Thank you Jenna! We will treasure these photos forever.

There are so many great venue options in West Michigan, and choosing the right one can feel like a big decision.

Lindsay and Kennedy’s wedding day at MillCreek Wilde was every bit as joyful, heartfelt, and full of love as you’d imagine. With nods to their first date, handmade décor, and the prettiest local blooms, it was the perfect reflection of them.

Bridget and Hayden brought all their favorite people to Michigan for a gorgeous celebration at Bay Pointe Woods—and what a day it was! From the moment Bridget stepped into her ballgown, the entire day was filled with joy, laughter, and so much love.
Spending the day on beautiful Gun Lake at Bay Pointe Inn's Boathouse with these two and their blended family was such a joy. With happy tears, fall colors, and so much love, Matt and Katie’s wedding day was truly something special.
See it all!

We had a wonderful experience working with Jenna for our engagement photos and wedding photos. She definitely took the time to understand what we wanted and was very communicative and helpful throughout the process. Her rapport with our wedding party was equally good, and she was especially skilled at working with our 5-year-old ring bearer and flower girl. We will treasure our photos forever! There are just so many good ones.

Jenna was a wonderful photographer for our wedding. She understood our vision and needs for the day, and executed beautifully. She did a great job capturing the love and joy of the day, without interfering with our ability to celebrate. We had an incredible wedding day and we are in love with our photos. Thanks, Jenna!

Jenna was responsive to every text and email, generally within minutes. She had great ideas for posing, lighting, backgrounds and candid opportunities. Upon meeting her, you get the feeling that she will roll with anything that might go on throughout the day. I never felt stressed and she made me feel comfortable in front of the camera, when in reality I hate being photographed. We loved the quality of the photo albums and the USB with all of the photos even comes in a really nice wooden storage box. I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing anything from family to wedding to boudoir sessions!

We serve the greater Grand Rapids area, but love to travel all around Michigan and beyond for weddings!
