Hiring Jennifer of R Photo for my wedding was definitely the best choice for me!! My wedding was out of state for me. I started planning just a small ceremony, but it evolved into a small wedding. I still wanted it to be a fairly casual affair. Jennifer listened to what I wanted for my photography needs for the day even though there were a few current wedding trends I didn’t feel I needed captured and weren’t a priority for me. She even helped my tighten up my time line. On the day of, she suggested the trend of having the couple sit in a spot and all the guests come to them to get a picture and trying to do it before a song was up! I was game and she quickly got it coordinated with our DJ! Those photos ended up being some of my favorite. Jennifer captured all of my prior requested photos, including some on the spot requests! Random, but she also solved ¼ of my mom problems with her cute chap stick on a key chain she gave me at the start of our day!! I loved all the photos and felt they were exactly the vibe and way I wanted our day captured! I’d 100% recommend R Photo to family and friends. I’m hoping to get to the area and get in a family session in the future!

We had the most amazing experience with Jen at R Photography! From start to finish, the entire process was so smooth and enjoyable. Jen has such a warm and professional approach that immediately put everyone at ease, including our kids, who can be a little shy. She worked so well with them, bringing out their best smiles and making the whole session feel effortless. Jen truly has a gift for capturing genuine moments and making everyone feel right at home. We couldn’t be happier with the photos and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and caring photographer!

We came to VA from out of state for my husband's graduation from his Doctoral program. He is not very keen on taking lots of photos but she made our session so relaxed and easy that he actually had a good time. She was so easy to communicate with, the price was fair and the spots she picked for pics were great! Thank you for documenting this occasion for us!!

Jennifer has done 2 separate sessions for me. One at the Sunflower festival for my daughter and I! These pictures were absolutely amazing. The timing weather and photography was outstanding! As a photographer myself it's hard to allow others to capture "my perfect" expectations and Jennifer did just that with our second session with her! Downtown Bedford for senior pictures was breath taking! And now years later we have hired R photography to capture those perfect moments at my daughter's wedding August 2023!!! Definitely recommend Jennifer, Ryan and R photography for all the special events that need captured!!

Have loved all our sessions with Jennifer! And I especially love her giving and compassionate heart! We had our first session with her when she did “Love Them a Little Tighter” mini sessions and donated the fees she charged to the Uvalde victim’s families. I’ve also seen her offer up sessions to local families in special circumstances at no charge and I just think that’s so sweet! She has captured our family so well and we’ve loved all the pictures she has taken! Highly recommend Jennifer and R Photography!
