Get to know me

My name is Jenella & I'm a photographer and videographer

I'm a former theatre kid with a passion for storytelling and helping others. When I’m not out filming and photographing couples in love, I enjoy spending my time going for weekend drives seeing the wonders of California, playing video games (any other Sims fans out there?), working jigsaw puzzles, reading, and hiking. I also listen to A LOT of music. I find inspiration through musical artists like Odesza and Big Wild. I'm also self-proclaimed Disney Adult - I love all things Mouse, especially Disneyland history and trivia! I even named my hamster after Walt!

I live in California's Central Valley, just outside of the San Francisco Bay Area, with my husband, Mikey, and our supermodel cat, Ahsoka.

Although I began my journey going to film school, life happened and took me in other directions for a while. I've worked at bookstores, a community college district, and a veterinary hospital, among other things - but I never lost my love and passion for visual arts.

I wasn't always a camera slinger

I wholeheartedly believe in communication, collaboration, and creativity. I enjoy creating meaningful relationships that last a lifetime with all of my clients, and I’m here to help you feel authentically seen, and document your truest self. I take the time to get to know you, and what makes your story unique. I approach each project with an open heart and open mind, ensuring that your legacy and vision is portrayed in its purest form.

I just can't wait to meet you

I have been so blessed to be surrounded by incredibly talented creatives. Working with a reliable team on your big day makes all of the difference. My second shooter, Joey, is always by my side to capture both the big moments and all the small details in between - he helps me be in two places at once. My husband, Mikey, handles the audio side of things, as well as acting as a third cameraman so we never miss a precious moment.
