Jennifer is the most amazing photographer and I cannot tell enough people about her incredible work. I was intrigued by her photo-journalist style and I LOVED her use of light and candid photos. I was always bored with wedding photos because they all felt staged. With Jennifer’s pictures you can feel the joy, the laughter, the music, the sheer entertainment of a really really fun and beautiful wedding.

Hello, I’m Jennifer
Photographer. Traveler. Massive fan of the three Ds:
Disney, dinosaurs, and dogs.
Captivated by love stories like yours and fueled by all types of sushi, I travel the world preserving wedding day memories in all their romantic, dynamic, and sometimes even a little bit silly glory. I live in Colorado state but regularly hop around the states, and I’d love to make a stop in your hometown next!
My unique approach to destination wedding photography sprouted from my passion for photojournalism and documentary filmmaking. Yeah, I was totally the kid who said they wanted to work for National Geographic someday. But my journey took an unexpected turn when, after a few stops along the way (visit my About Me page to hear all about those!), I realized I could create a special experience for couples by bringing the spontaneity and truth of photojournalism to the world of wedding photography.
I look forward to sharing my work and a few peeks behind the scenes at how I do what I do with you as you explore my cozy corner of the Internet. I couldn’t be more freakin’ thrilled for you as you enter into the exciting season of engagement, and I hope to meet you soon!
Why Choose Me?
True to life
I travel the world telling stories like yours.
Nothing can replace experience in a creative field, and I have experience in spades! From jet-setting around the world looking for the perfect shot to working with couples just like you, my wealth of experience will guarantee a true-to-life gallery.
True to you
I show the real deal, not the overly-polished airbrushed version.
As a documentary photographer and storyteller, I’m committed to showing who you really are through my work, not some too-perfect version that you can’t even recognize.
True to me
I’m not afraid to get dirty and go the extra mile.
Staying until the stars come out? Absolutely. Tromping up a mountain in the Rockies to get the sunset shot and then falling while up there? That’s my game. (Seriously, there’s a video and everything!) I will go above and beyond to create the best art I can—it’s my passion!

"What's the point in spending all that money on the day to have photos that don't reflect how magical it felt?
I tried to shop around and be budget conscious, but I kept realizing budget photographers generate what look like budget photos. Jennifer's work was the portfolio I kept coming back to, I couldn't find anyone else whose style felt like hers, the sheer joy and fun of the day that she captures!
I remember the day through the lens of her camera and she captured the absolute best of the moments in the exact way I wanted to remember them."

“I wish I could give rate Jennifer Lourie Photography 6.0 or higher!!!
Jennifer INSTANTLY made me feel like I was in the right hands! She made me feel so comfortable like I was an old friend and was easily the best decision we made for our wedding day.
Her attention to detail and love of wedding photography is unmatchable. We felt cared about and our pictures speak for themselves. Her photos tell a story of our wedding day and her aesthetic and attention to detail shines in her work.”

“We loved working with our photographer, Jennifer Lourie.
As we did more research, we loved that she went to school for photojournalism and that her goal as a photographer was not to overproduce and make everything look “perfect”, but capture things exactly as they were.
She is so stealthy, we barely noticed she was there! We never felt like we couldn’t be in the moment because we had to pose for a picture. She really went above and beyond and we were ecstatic with how the final gallery turned out.”
