Planning perspective
What to consider before reaching out
A strong first conversation is about fit, not just availability. Share your date, approximate guest count, location, and the feeling you want the day to have. Ask what is included, what typically changes the final quote, and what decisions need to be made earliest.
For a photo & video partner, confirm how communication works, who will be present on the day, and how the team handles changes. Pricing was not included in the supplied research, so request a current, itemized proposal directly from the business.

My now husband and I found Jenna by complete accident on The Knot. We had a very small wedding in Wells this past Saturday. Jenna absolutely rocked it. There were a lot of things that stood out to me about Jenna, but there are specifically 2 things. 1. She put names to faces. By the time it was time for family portraits, she was looking at people, calling them by their name, telling them where to move to get the shot just right ect.

We had the privilege of having Jenna photograph us one week before our beautiful dog Luna of almost 15 years passed away. Jenna was amazingly patient with Luna and me (I hate having pics taken).

Her senior phots are gorgeous….she really gets young adults.

I am so happy Jenna was my wedding photographer. The whole night was beautiful and I loved every picture taken. I always look back on the album and smile because all the wonderful moment's were caught on camera. I will always recommend her!

Jenna took the photos for our wedding in October and did a phenomenal job! She was so easy to work with and went above and beyond the entire day. Thank you!

Jenna Doughtry of Jenna Doughtry Photography is a master of her craft, a true artist. She is gifted at positioning people, making them feel comfortable, and at pulling out natural smiles to produce stunning photographs. However, she is so much more than a photographer as my business partner and I learned when we went for a branding session for headshots and website photos in October 2025. We are both hard of hearing and aided by two hearing aids. Our hearing loss has been life long for us both, but even with decades of experience navigating a world that is largely auditory, the prospect of having photographs taken made us both anxious. We were concerned that we would not be able to hear Jenn...
