jenny woods is a film photographer documenting life in nyc

photographer / painter / mother
I'm a self-taught photographer from a quiet, rural town in south Florida. I moved to New York City 12 years ago in pursuit of a more artistic and exciting life. I aim to capture the intimacy of life in my portraits. My work is moody, romantic, a feeling rather than something you can articulate, a memory frozen in time. I've dedicated my life to creating art and it's a deeply fundamental part of my identity. Most of my work is very personal and then weddings found me about 3 years ago and here we are. When I'm not taking photos, I spend my free time painting and enjoying life with my husband and son and our cats.

"Jenny’s photography was an immense gift. She is one of the easiest people to click with. Her kindness is warm and generous in a way that makes you feel like you can be your most authentic self around her. We were so excited that she got to play such an integral part of our wedding, since she’s a wonderful person to be around. The ease and beauty she cultivates translated perfectly into the images she captured. Her photographs brought us back into moments of joy, silliness, compassion, and tenderness allowing us to relive the party over and over. She composes her photographs with care and knew when to give subtle direction while allowing us to be candid and remain in the moment. We are so fortunate to know and be a part of her art practice in our small way. We cannot recommend Jenny enough and we can’t wait to have her capture more special moments in our lives." - Liz & Jack
"Jenny is a true gem—both as a person and a photographer. Even before meeting her, it felt like we already knew her. She completely understood the assignment: we’re camera-shy and wanted nothing staged. Jenny not only met the moment but exceeded it. Her presence was a calming force, yet so unobtrusive—she had this magical ability to let us simply enjoy the day while capturing those moments effortlessly. Jenny has an incredible eye and a gift for making every shot feel special. We couldn’t recommend her enough—truly." - Lauren & Sean
"We had the absolute pleasure of working with Jenny for our civil ceremony at the NYC courthouse, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we met her, she made us feel so comfortable and at ease — which made a huge difference on such an important day. She was incredibly easy to work with: kind, professional, and knew exactly how to guide us through the process. Every shot was stunning. She managed to capture not only the big moments but all the little in-between ones that made the day feel so special. Her eye for detail and natural lighting is truly impressive. We’ll cherish these photos forever, and we’re so grateful to have had her there with us. Thank you Jenny for being so warm reliable!" - Alexis & Johannes
