J Wiley Photography

Hello! I'm Jen, a wedding and family photographer based in the San Francisco Bay Area. I'm a former sociologist, an avid traveler, and a cat/plant lady. My passion lies in documenting small weddings, elopements, and families. I believe that intimacy is the essence of capturing beautiful moments, and I strive to create meaningful memories filled with emotions, the people you love most, and unscripted moments for you to look back on for years to come. My philosophy is that there's no such thing as "perfection" in photos - it's all about capturing the beauty in the imperfections.

Services Offered

I specialize in weddings, elopements, and family photography. My services include:

• Weddings: I love capturing the unique love stories of couples on their special day. I believe that every wedding is different, and I strive to tell each couple's story through my photography. My style is a mix of photojournalism and fine art, capturing all the candid moments as well as the beautiful portraits. I offer full-day coverage, and I'm happy to work with couples to create a custom package that meets their needs.

• Elopements: I believe that love is love, and I'm proud to offer my services to couples who choose to elope. I offer flexible packages for elopements, from a few hours of coverage to a full day. I'm happy to work with couples to create a package that meets their needs.

• Family Photography: I believe that families are the most important thing in life, and I'm honored to be able to capture the love and connection between families. My family photo sessions are fun, natural, and real - no stiff poses, no matching outfits, and no "smiling for the camera." I believe that the way you have fun together, cuddle up, and goof off naturally makes for the very best photos. I'll always give a little coaching and offer ideas as needed, then step back and let things unfold authentically.

I offer a variety of products, including digital files, prints, albums, and wall art. I believe that printed photos are happy photos, and I'm committed to providing my clients with beautiful, tangible memories that they can cherish for years to come.

My Philosophy

I believe that photography is about capturing moments, not creating them. I strive to create a comfortable and relaxed environment for my clients, so that they can be themselves and enjoy their session. I believe that the best photos come from real, unscripted moments, and I work hard to create a space where those moments can happen. I'm not afraid to get silly, to laugh, or to cry - whatever it takes to capture the essence of my clients and their relationships.

I believe that every photo session is an opportunity to create something beautiful, and I'm committed to providing my clients with images that they will treasure for a lifetime. Thank you for considering me to document your love story, your family, or your special moments. I can't wait to work with you!
