”Selecting the photographer for our wedding was the most important decision I made during my year of planning. I didn’t want a bunch of overly posed shots, or an album full of people standing in a line smiling at a camera. I must have looked at 50 local artists, but once we had our first meeting with Jenny, I knew I was done searching.
I believe that her portfolio speaks for itself in regard to her technical ability. You can tell that she gets the shot right in camera, always finds the “good” light to shoot in, and has a beautiful sense of which images are best in black and white. However, THIS is not why she will be my family’s photographer from now on. Having a traditional wedding was a compromise that I was required to make, for the sake of love. I wanted to elope and my (now) wife had always wanted a white wedding. When I booked Jenny, I had no idea that she would end up being more than just the wedding photographer, she would play a huge role in helping me maintain my sanity on my wedding day. In moments of chaos, that can so quickly become overwhelming, Jenny paid attention and was right there asking “How are you doing? Do you want to take a picture over here?”. Jenny did not have to be this attentive to take a fantastic picture, but she was and it was exactly what I needed. Now I could not imagine a familial milestone without her, somewhere, taking pictures of it. Jenny has so much passion for weddings, the moments they create, and the memories that she is invited to capture. She wants her couples to know that the wedding day is truly about them. We are so grateful to have her capture our wedding. Jenny’s pictures and her work ethic are just remarkable. I would recommend her again and again. In fact, reader, I hope that she still has dates available for you..she’s that good!“

“I cannot recommend Jenny more highly. Our photos came back capturing all the wonderful moments and the spirit of the day. Equally important, Jenny is a pleasure to be around – very calming and caring – which you learn is essential on the day when you are spending 8 hours with your photographer!”

”Pete and I got engaged in November 2022 and we were planning our wedding by December for a July 2023 wedding. We received a list of professional photographers from the wedding venue coordinator we had selected. Pete and I reviewed the photographer portfolios from a list of 15 and we narrowed the list down. Pete was highly impressed with Jenny’s online portfolios and the inclusivity that she represents through her photos. Her aesthetic and the story telling through her photos is what we liked the most and we were hoping she could capture that on our wedding day. Jenny was also one of the first photographers to get back to us and we met via Zoom as Pete and I live in Alaska and Jenny is based in Oregon. We immediately felt at ease speaking to Jenny about what we were looking for and the type of pictures we hoped to have for our special day. Throughout the 6-7 months of wedding planning, we would have questions that would arise and Jenny was available to answer our questions and also put our minds at ease with what at times was some stressful wedding planning. On the day of our wedding, Jenny was very flexible with where we wanted to shoot our first look photos and had other locations at the venue in mind. It got a bit chaotic with family photos and “wrangling” family members and friends for family photos, but Jenny was patient throughout the process. After looking back through our wedding photos that Jenny provided us this fall, we are amazed at the variety of photos she was able to capture on our special day and we do feel it tells a story of our day capturing the high points of the ceremony and the memories of sharing our wedding day with the special people who were in attendance. We enjoyed working with Jenny throughout the planning process and then our special day. Pete and I would recommend Jenny to anyone for any occasion. Her professionalism and candor make her an amazing individual to work with.“

”If you’re in the market for a wedding photographer, I wholeheartedly recommend Jenny Kang! I’m a fellow wedding photographer based in Seattle. Several months ago, I came down with Covid, preventing me from fulfilling my commitment to photograph a booked wedding. I reached out to Jenny at the last minute, and she graciously made the trip from Portland to cover for me along with another photographer as her second.
Jenny’s photography skills are truly extraordinary. She effortlessly captured every moment, infusing her distinct artistic eye and meticulous attention to detail into every shot. The relief I felt knowing my clients were in capable hands was immeasurable. And the clients? They had nothing but praise for Jenny. She seamlessly stepped into their day without prior collaboration during the planning stages and took charge effortlessly. And the images she delivered are simply outstanding.
If you’re currently looking for a wedding photographer, I emphatically recommend you reach out to Jenny. Her expertise and dedication are unparalleled.“

”Lord knows I only want to get married once and I was so so grateful that Jenny showed up and did an amazing job. She brought along Kelly who was equally great.
We initially chose Jenny for our wedding photos because stylistically she leans towards more true-to-life/documentary photos. We wanted to capture all of the true memories of our day. So many of the other photographers referred to us were over-exposed and had weird dreamy vibes that just felt like the 1999 Xanga era.
Jenny and Kelly captured so many great moments that were posed and candid. The photos were so beautiful and my wife and I are still having a hard time deciding which ones to make into a physical album.
They listened to our wants and needs in terms of the types of photos we wanted to capture. We wanted to make sure we had very specific photos with our families, certain backdrops, and especially the candid photography of everyone laughing, dancing, and celebrating. Jenny’s organization was top-notch and she really helped the day move along smoothly. We were so busy with all of our other logistics that it was a true weight off of our shoulders to have her experience shine in the way that she held the space and wrangled our gigantic families.
We could not possibly thank Jenny enough for being a part of our special day and capturing all the beautiful moments we can cherish forever!“

”Jenny is an amazing photographer and an open book when it comes to her passion for photography. When we first met her at a coffee shop in Seattle, we wanted to know more about her style and what fueled her. After that meeting, we had that gut feeling. The one when you just know that something is the right fit. One of the most important factors for picking our photographer was finding someone that we felt would capture moments versus staging pretty-looking photos. We wanted someone who had artistic creativity and made us feel confident that the photography of the day was one thing we wouldn’t have to worry about. We had other things to focus on such as being in the moment with each other and our loved ones and enjoying every single part of our wedding day. Jenny was on top of things from the moment she met at the bridal suite until our celebration came to an end. Naturally, once our wedding day was over we couldn’t help but have eager anticipation review photos. Jenny kept us updated on her progress. We didn’t have to follow up with her at all. She was following up with us. When the photos were ready for viewing on the private viewing site that she set up, we relived our day through her work. We quickly noticed how she managed to be everywhere and capture so many different points of view of our wedding day. We highly recommend that you consider Jenny Wohrle if you want special moments with special people captured on camera. Thanks, Jenny. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. We look forward to the next opportunity to work with you again.“

”Where do I even begin to describe how amazing Jenny is? Almost a year later, my husband, family, friends & I still obsess over the beautiful and clear wedding pictures she took. She truly captured the special moments of the first look as well as all the merriment at our reception. I appreciate how Jennifer listened to me when I told her I wasn’t one for a ton of photos of material things at our wedding, but rather capturing the shots of the people who attended and seeing their candid ,moments when receiving our photos. Truly, our photos turned out so beautiful, that I feel like even the word beautiful doesn’t justify it.
On a personal level, Jennifer made my husband and I feel so completely at ease and natural when posing for pictures. My husband loathes getting his picture taken, so seeing him relax in person and noticing it in photos was truly wonderful. We even had guests comment on how sweet she was during the wedding and ceremony. Jennifer does a great job of laying out a time frame prior to the wedding of when certain pictures will take place and I loved it. She made me feel less anxious about who needs to be wear and with what for the photos. In all honesty, I want Jennifer to capture every big moment of my life now! She is an amazing photographer and human, who wants nothing more than to capture the beauty of your special moment.“

”I absolutely love working with Jenny! As a wedding and event planner, she is such a wonderful photographer for so many reasons. She is low-key and calm which makes the clients feel comfortable and relaxed on their wedding day. Jenny is also incredibly kind and fun to work with while also super organized and incredibly professional. She also produces such beautiful photos which are rich with emotions and tell a wonderful story. It’s incredible how even if you weren’t a part of that moment captured in a photo that you are able to identify what’s happening and can feel what the subjects are feeling.
All around an ideal photographer to capture your most important moments. I can’t wait to work with her again and highly recommend Jenny Kang!“

”Jenny is the absolute best. We have had half a dozen shoots with her over the years, including the time we hired her to shoot my parents’ 45th wedding anniversary. Jenny always helps us feel comfortable in front of the camera with her comfortable mien and warmth. She gives clear directions when needed and understands how to bring out the best in her clients in a situation where not everyone feels at ease. I have always been excited by the quality of the images we receive after each shoot. Jenny’s photos have become some of my most treasured family photographs and I could not more highly recommend her photography. Run, don’t walk, to book.“

”We’ve used Jenny for our family photos as well as our wedding. She is a talented photographer and we’ve always been amazed with her end product. As a bonus she’s amazing with the boys who can be camera shy at times.
I would highly recommend Jenny for all your photography needs.“
