Jenn & Paul

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Jennifer for our wedding in Black Mountain, NC! From start to finish, she was an absolute dream—professional, organized, and so easy to work with. She made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, capturing every moment beautifully and effortlessly.

The final photos exceeded all our expectations. Both the digital and film images are stunning, perfectly preserving the emotions and details of our day. Her attention to detail and ability to capture candid, natural moments truly set her apart. We’ll treasure these photos forever!

If you're looking for a talented, thoughtful, and all-around amazing photographer, we highly recommend Jennifer. She is simply the best!”

Ariel & Sebastian

“Working with Jennifer was a true joy! She was open to all of our ideas and she was so easy to communicate and work with. She made us both feel so comfortable and relaxed, which is extremely important because most people get a little nervous in front of the camera (especially on your wedding day). She perfectly captured the feeling and excitement at our wedding. She gracefully falls into the background and by doing so is was very talented at catching those perfect candid moments. We were absolutely delighted with our wedding photos and we could not have had a better experience working with Jennifer. I would recommend her photography to any and all brides! Thank you so much Jennifer!”

Nicole & Dean

“Jennifer was an absolute pleasure to work with! She took the time to talk to us before the wedding about the types of photographs we wanted, and even went to the venue the day before the wedding to scope out good photography locations. Jennifer is laid back and professional, and her photographs came out beautiful. Her use of lighting and color was exactly what we had been hoping for! We were impressed by the quality of her candid photographs, as well as our portrait photos. It is clear that Jennifer's main goal is to give her clients what they want from their wedding photographs, as she made it a point to incorporate everything we had asked for. We would recommend Jennifer, without hesitation, for any event! Her ability to conceptualize our vision was more than we could have asked for. Thank you, Jennifer! We look forward to working with you again in the future.”

 

Breanne and Jeff

“Jennifer was so sweet and provided us with hundreds of fun and beautiful wedding day photos! She really knew how to use light perfectly to get amazing shots. We did an engagement session with her as well and got some really great shots, while getting comfortable being on camera for so long. I will cherish our photos forever!”

Trish & Chad

“Jennifer was our wedding day photographer in at a winery in Asheville, NC. She was so wonderful to work with prior to and on our wedding day. She was so organized and moved from one pose to the next quickly which was nice so we could really enjoy the reception. She captured everything little thing about our day and we couldn't be happier with the result.”

Sarah Bailey & Chandler

“Jennifer photographed our wedding in Highlands, NC and we were thrilled with the results. She is very laid back and easily made myself and my now-husband comfortable - and we are NOT photo people. I have an art background and was very picky about the lighting and vibe of our wedding photos - Jennifer did an amazing job fitting the photos to us as a couple.”

 

Carli & Bryan

“From discussing our vision to being in front of her camera on our wedding day, working with Jennifer was a pleasure. She captured beautiful candid moments as we greeted our guests and wonderful details that help to tell the story of our unique ceremony. We felt very comfortable with Jennifer and recommend her highly. Her photos keep cherished memories fresh in our hearts.”

Leslie & Doug

“Jennifer was a wonderful photographer and put everyone at ease before and during our wedding! She was also incredibly helpful in the stressful weeks leading up to our wedding (which we planned in 7 weeks from another country, venue site unseen). She offered recommendations on makeup, hair, venues, and all with a calm demeanor that was exactly what was needed. We're now happily choosing which photos to frame for our wall - a tough decision with so many good ones!”

Alison & Brian

“Brian and I loved working with Jennifer for our wedding. Her photographs are clearly beautiful and when I was looking for a photographer for our wedding in Hot Springs I was immediately drawn to her style and artistic eye. She is also warm and relaxed and so easy to work with. She made us and our guests feel completely comfortable and it shows in her pictures. We are overjoyed with her work for our wedding and are grateful to have her pictures to look at for years to come!”

 

Leidy & Ryan

“Jennifer Callahan is the best photographer we could have ever picked for our wedding, she went above and beyond! From the very beginning Jennifer was extremely organized and provided us with a list of questions of what we wanted captured at our wedding. She even made a timeline with a map of all the events for our special day and met with us before the wedding to go over all the details and pick our favorite spots around the venue. Every single picture she took looks amazing and you can tell how much time she put in every single detail! She brought a second photographer with her to capture the groomsmen getting ready, and Angie did a wonderful job with the guys! We could not have been happier with them capturing our special day!”

Courtney & Richard

“Working with Jennifer of Beloved Photography was a wonderful experience. I feel like she really listened to what we wanted and made us feel so comfortable. During our initial calls she helped guide us on what we realistically wanted and which package she thought fit our needs best. Weddings can be stressful and she was such a calming presence to have around which is amazing for your wedding day! I’m so grateful for how easy going and kind she is, taking photos felt so natural and everything went so smoothly. She worked so hard capturing our entire wedding. She went above and beyond, and even got some flowers from our florist to do beautiful detail photos. The photos turned out amazing! I love them so much, it’s so fun to get to go through them and relive the day. We even had a photo album made with her! I was a bit indecisive with the design and she was so patient and helpful making my vision for the wedding album come true. I’m so grateful for her and the memories she captured of our wedding that we will get to cherish forever!”

(Groom’s Review)

“We could not have picked a better photographer for our wedding and rehearsal - Jennifer was truly amazing! We originally booked Jennifer for a May 2020 date, but had to change the wedding date due to a family illness and were SO RELIEVED when Jennifer could do our back-up date as well. We live in Colorado and our wedding was back east, and Jennifer went above and beyond to make sure that we could do a quick engagement shoot on one of our brief visits back east. It was rainy and we didn't have a ton of time, yet the engagement pictures looked AMAZING - we couldn't believe it! Of course, the photos for the actual wedding and rehearsal dinner were amazing as well. She really captured the atmosphere and environment of the wedding very well in her shots. My favorite thing about working with Jennifer, even more than her great photography skills, was how relaxing she was to be around and how I generally felt that she added to my wedding experience. She had a calming personality that you really need on such a big day. She was EVERYWHERE during the wedding, but never actually felt like it. My wife and I came away from our experience with Jennifer thinking "wow, the photos are great...but we really want to be friends with her after all of this is over!" Would recommend Jennifer whole-heartedly!”

“Jennifer arrived early, left late, and was the sweetest person to work with. She made both me and my partner feel comfortable throughout the process, and the end results were gorgeous. She has an eye for incorporating the natural landscape into her photos.”

Jilian & Ryan

“I originally selected Jennifer because I loved the light and bright nature of her photos. They really stood out to me compared to all of the other wedding photographers who's styles were dark and moody. Her photography style is truly timeless and I've received numerous compliments on them! Working with Jennifer was also a pleasure. She is incredibly patient, kind and a gentle soul. She made us feel comfortable and never rushed. I would highly recommend working with her!”

Mary Grace & John

“Jennifer was the photographer for my wedding at Diamond Falls Preserve. She was an absolute joy to work with and was prompt with her emails. From the minute she arrived to the minute she left, she was such a calm presence amidst a typically chaotic day. I did not give her much direction, which led her being creative and capturing what she thought was beautiful, and boy did she not disappoint! She captured all of the small moments that I would have missed as the bride and we are so thankful she was there for our special day!”

 

Ally & Daniel

“Jennifer was such a pleasure to work with! I first saw her work at my cousin's wedding; from that day on, I knew she had to photograph my own wedding. Jen is professional, flexible, and, most importantly, great at capturing those "little moments." My husband and I will adore our photos for years to come!”

Elizabeth & Reed

“Jennifer was incredibly helpful to me with our wedding timeline, venue recommendations - general support. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a photographer to get in touch, Jennifer is a pro and goes above and beyond! Thank you Jennifer!”

“I am blown away at the level of professionalism, attention to detail, and quality that Jennifer brings to her work! As a planner, I recently had the pleasure of working with her at one of her photography workshops (Union Photography Workshops) and was so impressed with everything she put together to create a whimsical, well-run event. I highly recommend her as a photographer and look forward to recommending her to my clients!

 

Katie & Doug

“Jennifer did our wedding photos (and rehearsal dinner photos) this April. We could not be happier. She was extremely helpful even in the lead-up to the wedding, helping us plan the best timeline for her and our second photographer to make sure everything we wanted to be captured was. She was extremely professional, which I really appreciated on such a special occasion. We both have big families and she expertly coordinate what seemed like endless group photos!! We got tons of great pictures that are a joy to look at and really captured our wedding day the way we wanted it to be captured!”

Cassie & Aaron:

“I did a lot of research planning our wedding and made a huge list of photographers in the area. I narrowed my list down to three and had my husband decide- and I'm so glad he unknowingly chose my top choice. Jennifer Callahan photographed our engagement session and our green wedding at the Arboretum in Asheville. Now, three years later, I'm working on my wedding photo album and am in awe all over again. Her photos speak for themselves, telling a story while capturing natural warmth and emotion. The candid and portrait shots are stunning. It is clear that she has a passion for her work. Thank you, Jennifer, for all of these beautiful moments. I'm incredibly grateful.”

Langlee & Brian

“I found Jennifer from a list recommended by my wedding venue. On the day of the wedding she arrived early and made everyone feel comfortable while taking portraits. She is very easy going and has a creative eye for beautiful photos. She also captured so many special memories during the day, ceremony and reception. We will cherish our memories because of Jennifer. She was so professional, kind and easy to work with. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer for their special day.”

(Bride’s Review)

“Jennifer Callahan is an incredible person and photographer. As a graphic designer, photography was one of the most important things to me in selecting vendors for our wedding and I reviewed lots of portfolios in the area. Jennifer stood out to me because even over the phone (I was planning from Colorado) she had a down-to-earth, easy-going personality and I felt comfortable talking to her. Meeting in person for our engagement photos was even better! She guided us through different poses, while keeping us feeling completely natural and even making us forget the camera was there. When we had to unexpectedly move the wedding up 6 months due to a family member's health, she was amazingly helpful. My husband and I teared up over the phone to find out she was available for our new date! We were struggling to find a caterer for the new last-minute date and Jennifer went above and beyond to reach out to her contacts in the area and connect us with someone. She helped guide us through every step of the process, including a schedule for the day to make sure we got all the shots we wanted. I love her natural photo-journalist style and our photos really reflect all of the moments, large and small, that occurred throughout the whole day. Even later in the evening, every time I would turn to take a photo with someone, she would be right there, finger on the shutter, ready to take the shot. I really can't stress enough how much I love the photos. You see so many photographers with wedding albums with over-edited, contrived, and forced shots and Jennifer's work is the complete opposite. The photos are natural, elegant, and very high quality. Everything from the posed portraits, to the little in-between moments, to the reception was captured perfectly. They are absolutely gorgeous!”

Lauren & Phil

“Jennifer was an absolute dream to work with! My husband and I made the decision to plan our wedding quickly after learning that my mother’s cancer had spread to her brain. We planned our 100+ person wedding in 1 month, and Jennifer was so flexible and supportive through the month of pure chaos. She even helped us with finding other vendors by providing a list of folks she’s worked with at other weddings that fit our vision. On the big day, she helped us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Neither my husband nor I enjoy having our photos taken, but on the big day, Jennifer made the experience painless and rather enjoyable I must say! We did not want to spend a lot of time taking photos and Jennifer respected that request. The photos turned out great – better than I could have ever imagined! Jennifer finished editing the photos quickly and we were truly in awe of how amazing it all turned out. We highly recommend her for any of your photography needs!”
