My husband and I fell in love with Jennifer Tai's work long before we were engaged or before our son was born. I couldn't get enough of the emotion and pureness of her photographs. I knew one day, she would photograph us. For mother's day 2012 my boyfriend of 4 years purchased a family portrait session and we scheduled the shoot for the day before my birthday. Little did I know Casey and Jennifer Tai had planned a surprise engagement. It was one of the best days of my life. To have that day photographed was amazing, we knew for a fact Jennifer Tai was going to document our wedding. We have worked with Jennifer three times and each time was such a pleasure. We have built a wonderful friendship with her. She's incredibly professional, but doesn't make things too serious. I have never felt so relaxed and actually enjoyed being photographed. It makes it easier knowing the photos will come out perfect. We just received our wedding photos tonight from JTPA and I am the happiest bride on earth. I couldn't imagine going with anyone else, she captured every moment perfectly. I am forever grateful and honored to have worked with Jennifer Tai. Here are a few things I loved about working with her. -Communication was on point. Any time I had a question, Jennifer responded quickly and there was never any miscommunication. -Her studio we met her at for our wedding consultation is absolutely gorgeous. -Her assistant on the wedding day was so much fun. She did a great job of getting my son to laugh and smile for photos. She was also on point about my hair and dress if things got weird. -Jennifer shoots film and digital, which I love. -She gives excellent direction, she knows what angles are best for women, shes great about the little details and will tell you if things look awkward. -She is down to earth, easy to talk to, great sense of humor and has great energy about her. I can't wait for the next time we get to work together. If you want to view our photos- look on her blog for Casey and Lissa :) read more

I wanted to work with Jenn before I even got engaged. I'd heard about her from co-workers and clients, and I loved their photos. When we got engaged, I booked my venue and Jenn in the same day, which was the best and easiest decision. From the start, working with Jenn was easy and familiar. She spent time getting to know us and made us feel like we were her only clients. When we met in person to shoot engagement pictures, it was like meeting an old friend. My fiancé described the whole experience as relaxing and fun. Like most couples, our wedding planning had its ups& downs. Throughout all the changes, Jenn was super flexible and a voice of reason. She worked with us to put together a detailed schedule of events too. When the weekend finally arrived, Jenn took time to get know my bridesmaids, quickly learning names of family members and paying attention to the dynamics. She had a knack for putting everyone at ease, instantly. The day of the wedding she led us through an epic shoot on the beach. We had a large bridal party and big families, and it was no small feat to coordinate. Similar to the engagement shoot, she gave us gentle instructions, told us how to pose, and put us at ease, never rushed. She made sure we finished in plenty of time to get ready for the ceremony. She had a second shooter Jess, who was also excellent. During the ceremony and reception, Jenn and Jess were taking pictures. Every memory was captured beautifully. After the wedding, we received our pictures online, and then a hand-crafted box arrived with our cd, prints, and little vases for the flowers. WOW. Again with the personal touches! Every picture is a piece of art. Her ability to capture the light, the energy, the mood and the love that surrounded us on our wedding day brings tears to my eyes. We also ordered a wedding album from her and canvas prints. Such curated touches. I can't wait to work with her again. Brides, my only advice is to book Jenn quickly. read more

If you're looking for unique, genuine, and heartfelt moments captured, go to Jenn! We found her through recommended photographers from a bridal magazine. Upon meeting Jenn, we were drawn that she was a geek (like us!) and was a huge LGBTQIA+ supporter. Our hearts were won over and for our engagement shoot - she recommended the most gorgeous location - Eagle Falls. She also gave us great tips on how not to look awkward in photos together. Throughout our time together (post-poned wedding 2x due to pandemic) Jenn was always quick to respond to messages, sets clear expectations, and was detail orientated to take note of who was important to capture in photos for our wedding day. On the day of, she went around the venue to check for great spots and knew when to pull us in for the right moment! During family photos, she was an amazing lead in directing people for family photos (and we have a huge family!). She also made sure to grab us to catch romantic photos before sunset which we absolutely adore. Post-wedding, we received 3 previews in a week and full photos within a month! Her website also makes it easy to order quality photos for friends and family. Know you're not only getting amazing photos that last forever but a peace of mind and a genuine experience you'll look back on fondly. read more

We're not sure where to begin... My husband and I received our wedding photos last night and we are struggling with indecision for a "Thank You" note photo... Jenn is that good. She works naturally and efficiently. Our family "posed" photos were completed in approximately 30 minutes before the ceremony. She managed to accomplish this with the 14 of us, 5 of which were boys 10 and under who were more interested in doing anything other than posing for photos! After the initial posed photos, Jenn disappeared only to reappear with the phenomenal images of our wedding and reception. Our jaws dropped a bit after viewing what she had captured. All of them beautiful, all of them honest. Her work is art. These photos are "Wall Worthy" and deserve so much more than a frame on a shelf. Her ability to capture light, contrast and not to mention emotion, is beyond words. It was a privilege to work with Jenn, and we hope to work with her for years to come. To anyone who is reading this: Rest assured that you will not be disappointed. Jennifer is very down to earth and people of all ages respond to her. Her talent speaks for itself. read more

We LOVE Jennifer Tai! So much so that I'm writing my first yelp review. She is an amazing photographer and a wonderful person. We have used her for newborn, 6month and 1 year photo sessions for both of our daughters. Her work is gorgeous, creative, and captures the true personalities of our family members. I did a lot of research before choosing Jenn and I have had ZERO regrets. My husband hates having his picture taken and Jenn has completely won him over. Her work really speaks for itself. But on top of the fabulous professional product, Jenn has a great demeanor with children and a fantastic personality to boot. For our first daughter's 1 year shoot, there was some (unpredictable) construction noise at the studio and Jenn graciously agreed to come to our house on another date to take some additional photos. And she even rolled with the punches when I was forced to cancel last minute due to illness. Her photos are all over our house and are beautiful memories we will cherish for a lifetime. read more

Years ago when I was shown a photograph taken by Jenn I knew she was going to be our wedding photographer. I contacted her and I think fate stepped in because our wedding date was the last date she had open in August! What really sealed the deal for me (not that I wasn't already sold) was how, during our first meeting, Jenn was telling us about what these photos really represent and that while they are for us they are also for our family, for our future children. I loved that. Jenn trekked it all the way to our beach cabin to take our engagement photos and I love knowing that our children will grow up playing there. I love that all the moments captured are genuine. I trusted her to do her best and she delivered. That trust and professionalism, with a dash of goofy, really made everything feel so effortless and fun that Brent and I were able to enjoy every bit of our windy wedding. read more

I LOVE JENNIFER TAI. I met her years ago when she shot images for my children's clothing line. We got these creative, fun and very editorial feeling images that everyone just loved. I used her again when I met my husband because we were so in love we wanted that amazing feeling caught on film and she did just that. She is great at scouting out the perfect location, getting the lighting just right and making her subjects feel comfortable. The pics look like we were caught in a moment instead of posing for a photo. When it was time to choose a wedding photographer of course I called her again. Jennifer is hilarious, organized, a master coordinator of a large group and of course produces amazing images that you will cherish forever. Wedding photos are just too important to get wrong. I would highly recommend her without reservation. She is awesome and worth every penny. read more

Choosing Jenn as our photographer was, by far, the best decision that we made for our wedding. With as many things as one can stress about before a wedding and shortly there after, do yourself a favor and book Jenn. And you won't have to stress about whether or not you are 'getting the right pictures' The pictures that she took captured so many different moments, in a way I didn't think would translate photographically. There are people who snap picutres, and there is photo artistry. Jenn is an artist. Not only were the pictures amazing, but she is so much fun to work with!! She knew just what to say to lighten the mood, or get my wife and I to giggle at just the right moment. We will never use another photographer for anything our family needs, births, ceremony's, parties, graduations, holiday photos. Jenn has made lifelong clients out of us!! We loved working with her! read more

There is no better choice in the greater Seattle area. Our wedding was on 9/12/2021 and I STILL am looking through our photos at least once a week. She captured the emotions of the day so intimately that words fail to describe our gratitude. Jenn's professionalism is absolutely unmatched. Her presence is that of pure support and happiness, and yet she is completely unobtrusive to the actual wedding itself. The moments that matter the most, the ones that happen when you think no one is looking, you can trust that Jenn will capture. Her photos are authentically candid, and you will feel like the only bride and groom in the world. I would recommend her to absolutely anyone-you will not regret it. Thanks again, Jenn Tai & Co.! You were a huge part of preserving the best day of our lives in an unforgettable way. read more

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Jenn Tai for our wedding, and she did an amazing job of capturing the moments of our special day. Her talent for photojournalism truly shines through in her work. From my nephew doing a flip on the dance floor to our wedding party being goofs, Jenn captured all the candid and heartfelt moments perfectly. We especially loved her style of working with the moments rather than orchestrating poses. It made our photos feel so natural and genuine, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Jenn's ability to blend into the background while still capturing every significant detail was impressive. We are incredibly grateful for her hard work and dedication. If you're looking for a photographer who will beautifully document your special day, Jenn Tai is the one! read more

Our experience with Jennifer Tai was wonderful! I had surprised my fiance with an elopement after he had half jokingly requested to be married for his birthday. This was no small task. It took a great deal of planning and communication to make everything play out as perfectly as it did. Jennifer was an integral player in pulling off such an endeavor. She went to extreme lengths to document the suspense and excitement of the event and beautifully captured the emotions of our ceremony. Jenn's photos made the wonderfully surreal nature of our day tangible for all of our family and friends unable to be present. Her images will always serve as a blessed reminder of a magical time in our marriage. Jenn, you have our gratitude and appreciation; thank you for everything. Jamie Lynn and Andy Kimbrough read more

Jenn Tai's photos speak for themselves - they were a level above any other photographer we interviewed for our wedding - but what you can't see in her portfolio is her easy and comfortable manner that brings out the best in her subjects. Jenn worked us through some initial nerves and jitters so that by the time the big day rolled around we were oblivious to the camera. It resulted in such fabulous photos that we will cherish for years to come. Our guests and family raved about her as well- fun, creative, and a true professional. We were drawn to her eye and ability to capture the feeling of the special moments, and sold on her personality and style. They say don't skimp on the photography - I couldn't agree more and Jenn's work is worth every penny! read more

It was really fun to work with Jenn as she covered our wedding this past summer. Jenn is truly an artist and a consummate professional, and was a knowledgeable advisor as we planned our wedding from afar. Jenn's work reflects genuine emotion from her unique perspective - she somehow captures the most memorable and moving photos. Jenn is also very responsive and straightforward in every interaction, which makes working with her a joy. Although the carefully curated questions she initially sent us piqued our interest, meeting Jenn, understanding how much pride she takes in her work, and seeing her interact and laugh with our beloved family and friends affirmed how lucky we are to have worked with her. We recommend her without reservation. read more

Jenn was a lot of fun to work with, and her photos are absolutely beautiful! We are so fortunate we found her. She made everyone comfortable and at ease, and even my very shy (now) husband relaxed and laughed during the photos. Jenn has a terrific ability to take wonderful candid photos that truly capture the moments within the big event. Our first dance, cake cutting, and speeches didn't have any "staged" photo moments, and each one has gorgeous pictures that bring the event's memories back to life. Looking at all the each picture brings back the fun memories of that day. She was a joy to work with and we hope to go back to her for photographing all our big life events! read more

Jennifer does AMAZING work!! From engagement photos to group wedding photos to ceremony and reception, our photographs are beautiful!! Jennifer captured the fun and the tender, which is difficult given we aren't prone to PDA. Looking at the pictures, I've never felt so beautiful and I have no idea how she was able to capture and enhance that feeling. Seeing the photographs makes me want to manufacture reasons for us to have other photo sessions with her. On top of that, her husband, who was her assistant, was a miracle, according to my husband. He came through in the tie and pocket square department. If you hire Jennifer for your special event, you will not regret it it!!! read more

Jenn is such an amazing photographer, we are SO glad we found her! She did a fantastic job with our engagement and wedding photos, and we couldn't be happier with her work. Jenn gave us great advice, and her good humor helped us relax and enjoy the experience. She was also very flexible! Our August 29 wedding - which was supposed to be outdoors - was moved inside at the last minute due to thunderstorms. She didn't miss a beat, and managed to capture all the details despite the wedding chaos. We absolutely love Jenn, and will definitely be working with her in the future! read more

Jenn Tai has an amazing eye for catching the true vibe of a family during her photo sessions. We've had the best pregnancy, new babies, family, and couples photos of our family of 6 over the last 12 years. She has a beautiful sense of humor that keeps the kids happy and the parents laughing during the part of "crabby picture kids" that's bound to happen on a family photo shoot. We highly recommend her for her beautiful work and beautiful personality!! She'll definitely make good day in THAT more special!!! Orman family of Duvall, WA read more

I discovered Jen shortly after moving to Seattle and researching maternity photographers that could do maternity and newborn photos but were also willing to do birth stories. Not only was Jen a remearkable photographer, her confidence and demeanor made me sure that she was reliable. I was right. She was at my birth and captured it in the most beautiful way. I will always cherish those photos. She has been with us every step of the way since then and my family and friends always gush over our lovely JTPA holiday cards. read more

HIRE JENN TAI! From the moment we met her, my husband and I knew she was the photographer for us. Jenn is professional, super fun, easy to work with, and has an incredible eye. She captured our wedding day perfectly; every moment, pose, laugh, hug, and ugly cry! She made us feel comfortable from the start. We had a ball at our wedding, and Jenn's photos remind us daily. We loved so many photos that we could not fit them into one album. Here are some of our favorites! Thank you, Jenn! We love you! read more
