2025 Wedding Collections for your 'Exactly Us' Wedding Day Photography
So you're looking for Wedding Photography to capture the real HEART of your wedding day?
You're in the right place - I love you already!
You're here because you believe that your real life is beautiful and want that beauty reflected in your wedding day storytelling. You probably love to have a good time, you want your wedding to be the best party you've ever been to, and you want the photos to reflect the full spectrum of emotions from the chaotic fun to the honest tears.
I can't tell you how happy I am that you found me - we're going to get along great!
I'm Jennifer van Son ~ You can call me Jen!
Here are my truths about wedding photography:
I believe that wedding days deserve our honesty and that our emotions are all valid. I believe that your day should be lived to the fullest, never rushed, and packed with moments that had the space to happen all on their own. I believe that the people you are and the people you love are good enough, beautiful enough, and interesting enough to exist without my direction (don't worry, I'll help you out during portraits). I believe that your wedding photography coverage should be as unique and special as YOU are - cookie cutter weddings aren't your thing and your photos should show that off!
2025 Wedding Collections for your 'Exactly Us' Wedding Day Photography
Wedding photography seems like a stressful job - why do I do it?
It does seem high stakes doesn't it? And yeah, it is, your wedding day only happens once. There are certain expectations and things I can't miss (hello first kiss), but in all honesty, I love every second!
I was a wedding makeup artist before I began shooting weddings and knew I needed to go full-tilt into this gig when I started understanding the value of real & honest moments in my own life. I wanted to capture every second of my life with my partner Rob, with our soon-to-be family, and I suddenly understood how important truth in photography was.
I do this because I want to remind folks of the beauty and love that exist in their lives. I want them to have memories they can hold and pass down to their kids or families. I joke around a lot but I promise you this is the biggest privilege in my artistic life and I take it very seriously!
I've spent the last 13+ years filling my bag of skills for your big day!

How the process works!
Let's Talk:
Our first meet up is a great time to get to know each other and for you to ask all those questions you've been dying to ask. I love hearing about you and making sure I have a deep understanding of your unique relationship and wedding day needs. If you're reading this collection guide it likely means this step has already happened and we've already jumped into the brainstorming phase!
Lock in Your Booking:
Seems obvious, but the next step is to review & sign your contract! Make sure you understand the industry standard so that we both feel protected under our agreement. Once you sign it digitally you'll be prompted to submit your 35% retainer - this officially saves your date!
Let's Get Planning:
In the early days following your official booking there may not be much that we need to hash out. HOWEVER, I want you to feel that you have plenty of resources for planning and building your vendor dream team. I'll send you my wedding planning guide that I've carefully created with 13 years experience under my belt. I'll also send you a vendor referral guide with some of my very favourite folks in the biz. You're under no obligation to book these vendors, they're simply people who I know are kind, passionate, and who's work I love.
You are welcome to reach out to me at any point for help with your timeline or details! As your wedding nears I'll send you a planning questionnaire where we'll work through the details of your day from firming up your unique timeline, creating a family photo list, and making sure we're all on the same page for your wedding day dreams!
The Wedding Day:
The planning work is done - it's time for you to enjoy everything you've created! By this point we will have created a plan for the day that suits you and you'll have plenty of time to enjoy every single moment! I believe that wedding days should be experienced with as much presence as you can muster! I won't micromanage you or pull you away from your guests for the sake of a posed photo. The candids are where I shine! I want you to be fully immersed as participants and guests of honor - deeply present and loving your closest people. This is where the magic happens, it's the real moments that are the heart of any wedding. My fave.
You Receive Your Photos:
I want to get your images into your hands as soon as possible but I will NEVER sacrifice quality. You'll receive a set of sneak peeks (usually about 20 images) only 3-4 days after your wedding. You can expect your final beautiful, edited gallery 6-7 weeks after your big day. If you have film as part of your package it will be developed and scanned by my partner lab and included in the final gallery. Your gallery (min. 50 final images PER HOUR of coverage) is fully downloadable in high resolution.
Prints & Albums:
You'll receive exclusive access to my professional fine art print shop and a little surprise ;). If you've included an album in your collection now is the time to select your favourite images so that I can send it to print and get it into your hands. Prints are so important as they will outlast all of our technology and provide a tangible connection to your memories.
So what's it like to work with me?
I'll let my clients tell you, I'm so bad at this part!
"We absolutely LOVED working with Jen and feel so lucky to have found her for our big day. We already knew we loved her aesthetic & documentary-style photos from her online galleries - and after having an intro meeting with her, we also knew she would bring the perfect vibe to our day. She made the effort to get to know us, understand family dynamics, helped us understand what to prioritize and what to stop worrying about - and then just captured the most beautiful photos and moments in the most unassuming way. Our families loved her too and we are so grateful for all the little moments she was able to capture during our wedding weekend. Could not recommend Jen more highly and hope we get the chance to work with her again!"
~Nilofer & Hugh
"Jennifer was amazing! She helped to keep our large family in check during pictures at our wedding so that we could fit them all in. More then that she captured so many authentically beautiful moments in the most natural and stunning way. We were floored by the final outcome and will treasure our photos forever. Thanks so so much Jennifer for allowing are most special day to live on so beautifully in our memories through your photos."
~Christina & Pier
"We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer and person to capture our wedding day. We wanted “in the moment” “storytelling” photos and that is exactly what we got, plus so much more. Looking back on the photos makes you feel like you are re living the moment. I can’t recommend Jennifer enough - organized, kind, friendly, professional and so much fun! Would highly recommend to anyone considering their photographer for any special life event."
~Brooke & Ryan
That was a lot of info - I bet you're dying to see a full REAL gallery!
I got you!
