Art Beauty Life : Jenny Ebert Photography

I want to start by saying I have never written a bad review on Unilocal before, I believe it is bad karma; however, I feel it is my duty to warn all brides anywhere near New York never to use this so called «wedding photographer.» I hired Jenny to shoot my wedding last year, and it was the ONLY thing that I regret about our amazing wedding day. We found her on
and really liked her style from what we saw on her website. We really wanted someone who could capture the amazing candid moments that really make the day special. I should also preface this by saying that my husband owns a web design studio and works with amazing photographers, so we sort of pride ourselves with having a pretty discerning eye. I also want to add that our wedding was incredible, I wore a Monique Lhullier dress, we had the Dexter Lake Club Band and an incredible caterer. There was no stone left unturned. And we had no problem spending the money if we were getting a quality result.
We were so excited to see our photos, thinking that the day and night were so unbelievably awesome, how could you possibly fuck up the photos? Well she fucked them up royally. If I could give zero stars I would, but I think you get the point.
We did an engagement shoot with her and we were pretty happy with the results, though mostly because the tinting of the photos looked nice. The photos (after 3 – 4 months of waiting) had absolutely no depth of field, horrible post production, terrible lighting, awful angles and just all together a terrible vibe. She was completely inept at capturing the amazing feeling and warmth of the event at all. I actually think she had her assistant (some no talent hack) taking most of the photos. Not a single relative asked for a photo keepsake because they thought they all looked so unbelievably unflattering, fat, pasty, shiny… you name it. People were and are pissed since they spent so much time and money getting their hair, makeup, dresses and whathaveyou and have nothing to show for it but fond memories. I was and still am devastated that we don’t have any great photos of the wedding. Let alone a framable photo of me in my wedding dress.
Shocked at what I saw when she sent me the link to her website (where she charges some ungodly price per awful print) we immediately demanded the raw images so we could even try to salvage them ourselves!!! I went through 4,000 raw images and tweaked the colors in iphoto just so we could have something to put into a frame. The decent thing for her to do would have been to offer us at least a portion of our money back and possibly apologize.
Oh well, at least it is better to have bad photos of an amazing wedding than good photos of an awful wedding… I guess. I hope this review saves some of you the strife that i went through.
