Jenna Leigh Weddings | Hawaii Wedding and Engagement Photographer

Mix an uber talented wedding and engagement photographer, a stunning couple, some beautiful mural art in an urban setting...and voila, you have Jenna Leigh Weddings behind the scenes promo film.

When I met Jenna at a photography meetup over two years ago, little did I know that we would immediately become friends who would spend every week "working" together on some project or event....I use the word "work" here loosely because we have too much fun and love our jobs way too much to call it work. 

Fast forward two years, and now, not only do we share an office together downtown, but I assist her at most of her weddings and engagement/elopement sessions, (I have been to over 20 of them with her in the last yea!r), we've traveled to Kauai (read about our Kauai adventure here), and Maui, and we always find time to share our love of music as we travel to and from weddings and sessions. Man, do we ever make a great harmonizing team.  

I so proud of the photographic art she produces for her clients, but even more happy to now call her my dear friend.  

Jenna's passion for her work speaks for itself, she loves what she does and it shows in her photographs. Her couples rave about how they love her romantic style of shooting and how she captures the true romance between them.  I have watched her work at over 20 weddings and can tell you first hand this girl LOVES her job and LOVES photographing love. 

She is so passionate about wedding photography in fact, that she created the first annual Hi On Life Photography Conference which takes place here in Honolulu March 6-9, 2017 at the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Waikiki. This is no ordinary wedding photographer conference, Oh no, Jenna's "go big or go home" motto applies here.  She has world renowned, award winning wedding photographers Susan StriplingTwo Mann StudiosJeremy Chou and many more super talented photographers speaking at the workshop, as well as three sunrise styled shootouts and three sunset styled shootouts, a private luau and an epic dance party to follow. Its shaking up to be a pretty epic three days, so if can skip on over to Oahu within two weeks or you are a wedding photographer in Hawaii and you haven't purchased your tickets, you need to get on it today! Everything Jenna touches turns to gold so I just know this is going to be an amazing conference. 

The engagement promo shoot was filmed in the Kaka'ako area of Honolulu. This was such a fun shoot to film. The couple was gorgeous, the model couple looked like they just stepped off of the runway (the bride is Miss Waikiki and .absolutely stunning and the groom looked like a GQ Magazine model).  The urban Kaka'ako setting was a perfect place, the  juxtaposition between Christina and Morgan's stark black and white wedding attire against the color and vibrant urban backdrop looked amazing.  And the PowWow Hawaii artist murals were on point as always and such gorgeous backdrops for their photos. 

Typically Jenna's weddings are on the beach or at a more rural venue with a very romantic feel, so this shoot was so fun for me to film as it really shows how when somebody as talented as Jenna get's a camera in her hand, anything is possible. 

It doesn't matter where her clients are, she always finds a way to use the landscape and her surroundings to create magical, romantic photographs for her clients.  

I always love to watching Jenna work, she just gets "in the zone" and is so passionate about capturing that perfect moment between her couples. 

For Romantic, Timeless, and Elegant & Epic

What's Your Story?

I truly belive we all have have a story to tell. Its what I preach to all my clients, my potentional clients, and quite frankly to anybody who will listen. Sweet Rain Media was created with the desire to tell YOUR story.  The story of your business, the story of your family, the story of you.  

I may not be the best writer or the best verbal storyteller, but give me a camera and I will tell you a story through my films and photographs. 

My parents taught me to "follow your dreams and do what you love".   I am doing just that.  My father put a camera in my hand at a young age and my curiosity to see the world through my lens was contagious and my passion blossomed from there.  Fast forward thirty years and here I am in the business of capturing memories and freezing special moments in time for others. 

That's my story.  What's your story?

Introducing Sweet Rain Media's very own brand film.  

Watch and see how a brand film will help you:

  1. GIVE YOUR BRAND A VOICE. By creating a hand crafted film to promote your brand,  your target market will be engaged and are 50% more likely to buy your product or service than similar businesses who dont have brand films on their website. 

  2. ENGAGE YOUR POTENTIAL CLIENTS and turn into leads and profit.

  3.  MAKE AN AWESOME FIRST IMPRESSION. You have approximately 15 seconds to grab your audiences attention on your website.  By having a brand film, visitors are twice as likely to stay, therefor more likely to fall in love with you, your product/service. 

We would love to capture your story.
