Hello, I’m Jennifer!
This is the section of my website where you get to learn a bit about me.
I’m a photographer, living in Baltimore with my husband, Jimmy, & our son, Simon.
While I specialize in weddings, I also enjoy photographing families, corporate work & some other stuff. I like photographing things so much, that you’ll often find me out and about with my camera.
When I don’t have my camera in my hand, I enjoy doing a lot of different things, like camping, eating, boating, hiking with my dog, kayaking, napping in hammocks, snuggling my kid when he lets me, and binge watching re-runs of Fraiser, Seinfeld, & The Office.
All of that said, I actually knew at the age of 8 that I wanted to be a photographer when I became adult-ish. Pretty wild, eh? So, after taking photography classes in high school and college, I started working with a variety of other Baltimore-based photographers. Eventually, I found my way into wedding photography and, as it turns out, being a wedding photographer is a lot of fun. So, in 2007 I decided to open Jennifer Smutek Photography and I now photograph weddings (and some other stuff) full time.
What else can I say?.. I absolutely LOVE what I do! One thing that’s for sure: if you choose to work with me on your wedding day, I will give you everything I’ve got. There’s no doubt that you are planning an amazing day, and I want to capture every bit of it… from those low-key moments while you’re getting ready, to when ties become headbands, I want to be there! Your wedding day should be awesome and I’ll do everything I can to make that happen. From helping your with your timeline, to easing your camera-shy worries during your engagement session, I will show up to your wedding day (and every part before it) with genuine enthusiasm & excitement for you.
Of course, if you want to know more about the business side of things (you know, stuff like insurance [I have it] or digital files from your wedding [you get ’em]), you can check out the Information Section of my website. Or, even better, you can shoot me an email or give me a call. I’d love to chat with you and find out more about you, the love of your life and your wedding plans!
Jennifer
