Hey, I’m Jen!

I have always considered myself two things: a story-teller and a lover of life. I really enjoy connecting with people so it only seems natural that I ended up documenting celebrations of life. I’m happiest when I am learning, observing and creating with others. I thrive in exciting fast-paced environments as I am a quick thinker with a calm demeanor. “Memories over things” has always been a guiding principle in my life. My photos are fleeting emotions worth being remembered- natural, real and in the moment. Magical feelings you will want to hang on your wall and relive over and over again.

My photography journey started when I quit my job, bought a camera and solo-traveled around the world. After my first trip, I wanted to live my life with more purpose and freedom and that meant continuing to document beautiful, diverse stories. I have been photographing weddings since 2012 and knew since the start that it was meant to be! I have been lucky enough to travel to 50 countries so believe me when I tell you- I am always down to adventure with you to create epic photos!

My Goal is to Preserve the heart & Soul of each moment.

The best images are the ones that make you remember what is most important in life. Whether it’s a heartfelt hug from your lover or dancing on the table with your closest friends- authenticity is at the root of everything I do.

Jen Marvel, Jersey City Wedding Photographer
 
YOU AND I

WILL mesh well if…

…you live for cool experiences, killer dessert and awesome dance moves.

…you like to adventure to spots a little off the beaten path.

…you enjoy being a bit non-traditional, dancing to the beat of your own drum and are throwing a celebration that reflects that.

…you are intuitive, down-to-earth and want to have a fun, seamless photo experience with someone you connect with.

 

Thank you for helping me give back.

I chose a career that celebrates love, equality, expression and humanity because those are the things I stand for. Here are some organizations I have been fortunate enough to donate my photo services to in the past. Thank you for booking with me and helping me give back to our community.
