Jen McKen Photography bio picture
  • hey! i’m jen mcken, let’s be friends!

    Howdy people of the world! I’m Jennifer McKendrick but my “friends” have always called me “jen mcken”! I’m a lifestyle destination wedding and portrait photographer for some of the coolest clients EVER! I’m based out of SOUTHWESTERN, PA but I travel all over the world!

    This blog is meant to be informal while following both my personal and professional life, and features images from the weddings and portraits I shoot, the places I travel and the friends and family that mean so very much to me.

    I hope you enjoy stopping by every now and then to check out what I’ve been up to and to see some of the latest examples of my work. Please, make yourself at home here-hangout as long as you’d like, invite some friends over and while you’re at it, leave a comment or two so I know you were here!

    Disclaimer: I’m not a writer, I don’t claim to be, I don’t want to be. I have horrible spelling, awful grammar and downright nasty punctuation...but I do promise, I AM college ed-uma-cated! haha! But on a serious note, this place is where none of that matters. This is my little piece of the inter-webber and I can say, spell and punctuate any way I want :-)

    Go ahead-snoop around, I’m not shy!

shelly + josh: ice cream portraits | jen mcken, photographer

She worked some “down time” into her wedding day schedule. For anyone who has planned a wedding….you all can appreciate how valuable “down time” can be during a wedding day. Often times it’s GO – GO – GO….but Shelly and Josh LOVE to go out for ice cream several times a week…it’s “their thing”….so that’s what we did on their wedding day. They treated the entire bridal party! All of you locals will know EXACTLY where this is…..it’s one of my favorite ice cream places: The Meadows located in Indiana, PA!

So we hopped on the Trolly….and went for ice cream…and a few laughs (long story!) haha! Ohhh and I forgot to mention….we also made a small pit stop at Starbucks……a girl has her priorities ya’all!

Christle - Looks like so much fun, and everyone looks great! :) Love the bride’s dress, it’s pretty, but not fussy.

shelly + josh: first look | jen mcken, photographer

I’m in love with their wedding……especially her dress and all the little details. It felt so “old hollywood” and when I showed up her dress was on a dress form-if I could always just be this lucky!!…..LOVE!

Shelly and Josh chose to do a “first look”, (if you aren’t familiar with it, I talk a little bit about it here) just to get the jitters out of the way. As a matter of fact, I asked Josh a few moments before she walked down the , “Are you nervous?”. He said, “Not anymore, I just really wanted to see her?” Cue the “awwwws”!

Shelly rocked her dress….I can’t WAIT to show you their portraits!
