PAULA JENSEN
Photographer and Owner



I prefer to talk to my brides rather than have them get buried looking at samples or just view a website. Although the quality of my work speaks for itself, the harmony of our personalities is what makes the difference. Photography is truly a team effort!

After 10 years of doing over 700 weddings for a major studio, I am expanding my private client base. All this experience has taught me that people skills are as important as being proficient with a camera. Getting to know a Bride, Groom and all their family is just too tough to do in one day! The best photographs are those I take of people whom I have gotten to know well in advance, who know me and trust me to do a good job.


What really sets me apart from other photographers is my energy and artistic eye. And, above all, my heart. Bride books never tell you that it is the photographer’s job to keep the day on schedule while making the creative process fun for all involved - including me! This makes for not only a well run party, but beautiful photographs and timeless memories.

Wedding photography is the hardest job I have ever had. The stress of the day, in combination with the high level of emotion and perhaps a thunderstorm or lost relative, forces me to wear more hats than any job need to. I have acted as a hairdresser, interior decorator, babysitter, psychologist, seamstress, taxi, animal trainer and navigator. Regardless if I just wrecked my car or had my hair caught on fire (true stories), I must politely keep the party on time and be the artist I pride myself to be.




Utilizing a combination of tasteful portraits, select candids, and “posed” photojournalist style, I am very thorough and detail oriented, always striving to capture what my clients want - not just what I think they want. And, being a woman, I take every opportunity to visually create romance! After all, isn't that what love is all about?

Please consider me to capture the joy of your special day. My joyful approach and high energy doesn't make me the right photographer for everybody, but I could be the right one for you!
