I specialize in photos that make you feel something.

Weddings, Elopements, Sacred Loves and Self Love...

Freezing moments in time that capture the fullness of your love with grain soaked, blurred motion, film inspired art. I encourage, and also pray for, unique and inspired visions. You want proof your love is nothing like the rest and I'm here to offer it in photos that bring you right back to how you felt in that moment. Don't be afraid to send me wild concepts, "imperfect" ideas or "unaesthetic" locations that are special to you.

For the cinematic loves, my work of art is you.

Timeless. Warm. Intimate. Intentional.

My name is Jen. I'm an enneagram two, I sometimes speak in haikus and I'm already obsessed with you. I've been an artist in one way or another since I could first hold a pencil. Nothing leaves me feeling more alive than when I'm making art, especially with and for others. Fulfilling my clients' visions fulfills me more than I can even say. But if there's anything that holds a candle to my passion for photography its the love I have for traveling, writing, and maybe (definitely) Taylor Swift. New places and new challenges thrill me; I'm sure they could do an entire study on the adrenaline junkie to elopement photographer pipeline. 

And quite unsurprisingly, I've found that deep down at the root of everything I love so dearly, is the ever present glow of human connection. That's my why.

And here, in this little corner of the internet, is where you can dive into my soul's work. I can't wait to be friends!!



the sweetest words from one of my darling clients,

Wow, where do I even begin with how I am a brand evangelist of Jen Funderburk Photo?! I first met Jen through instagram. She became someone I was always talking to through DMs. I admired her photography so much. I cannot get enough of her creativity, style, editing, movement blur, and candid photos. As we got so close through these DMs, I also got to know her so well as a person. Not only is her photography so breathtaking, she is such a kind, down to earth, sweet, thoughtful, and supportive woman. She truly loves you for you, and embraces your individuality. 

 

I booked her for my couples session in Manhattan, New York City. Not only do I love Jen’s work as a photographer, I love her as a human being. She makes you extremely comfortable behind the camera. Like the most comfortable I have ever been having my photo taken. I trusted Jen completely. Her creative eye sees things I would not have realized myself. She gave me photos that had me speechless. She made me see myself in a new beautiful light. She truly captured my husband and I in our most authentic form, and it was effortless for her. She got us so excited during the shoot and made it so fun. She handled everything so perfectly, I would not change a single thing. Jen then delivered my photos in a beautiful online gallery. She is very professional and delivered the photos faster than I expected! Jen also gave us beautiful black and white photos in addition to our colored ones. Such a great touch.

 

I highly highly highly recommend Jen. You have to book her asap for your elopement, wedding, engagement, and couples session. I have not met a photographer who cares more than Jen does about YOU AS HUMANS. She cares so much about you and then on top of that delivers the most amazing photos. She is not just a photographer, she instantly becomes your friend. Jen also has a special creative touch and named our gallery a poetic lyric from a Taylor Swift song and added a unique lyric as a caption for our gallery. She goes the extra mile to create art that is so on point for you. And she makes you feel oh so special.

 

What is the next step? Hire Jen! I cannot recommend her enough. And I will tell everyone I know to hire her, because then I know they will be in the best hands. XOXO  -ally

I have had both the privilege of having Jen take photos of me, as well as working with her for multiple events. In both, she sparkles in different ways!

When she’s taking photos of you, she is decisive and warm. It is as comfortable and familiar suddenly as having your best friend photograph you. She knows what you’re hoping to see in photos without you having to tell her what that intangible thing is. 
It must be because when Jen looks at people, she sees the very best in them. 
She knows what is beautiful about everyone right away from the inside, and then brings it out. 
She knows how to catch that unexpectedly warm moment of a day -the quick one that feels like it could only ever be felt, not really captured- and then somehow gifts you an entire gallery of them. 

Working with Jen on a documentation team is a treat because you get to watch her flex 100 different muscles at once- she is a coordinator, she is a counselor, she is a hype woman and an artist (and in her personal work sometimes the muse too). 
She transforms into the backbone of even the most well planned event…as much or as little as needed, but she is always the backbone. 
Watching how quickly she knows how to get what she needs from a moment has made me a sharper, more attentive creator. 
Jen has done all the work to be able to lean on her judgement and be decisive; that way she’s never truly rushing you. 
She is beloved and trusted in each space, and will remember each of your friends names…because more often than not they are now her friends too.
