Beverly Hills Wedding Photographer Jen OSullivan bio picture

Welcome!

Congratulations on your engagement! Now that you have found your partner, picked a date, and hopefully nailed down your venue, it is time to hire your photographer. My name is Jen O’Sullivan, a boutique wedding photographer who specializes in portrait journalism. I love what I do. I am blessed. Beyond what I ever could have imagined! I have some of the best clients on the planet, the most supportive and loving husband, and the absolute cutest son ever! Check out his latest photo editorial on my Facebook profile. facebook.com/jenosullivan
Okay, so here is the boring stuff: I have been working in the commercial and event photography business throughout Southern California since 1998, and became a full time wedding photographer in 2004 after getting married to Tim, my High School sweetheart and Junior High crush. (Yes, we went to prom together.) I quickly left the commercial business behind after having such a hard time finding just the right photographer for my own wedding. I decided to try to change the way Wedding Photography is offered to brides and grooms. I have an open door, open book policy which no other photographer offers to my knowledge. You will become my friends, and I love that! I will photograph your first baby photos, just because I want to gift that to you. You will become part of my “family.” As a boutique wedding photographer, I want you to get all the attention you deserve. Your wedding is one of the most important days in your life and I am blessed to be a part of it. I want you to love your day over and over again. My desire is to give you peace of mind knowing you have chosen the right person; someone you can trust to capture your memories that will last a lifetime. These are exciting times - cherish every moment, and don’t forget to live! laugh! love!
~ Jen O’Sullivan, Owner & Principal Photographer

Engagement Session with Justin and Jenifer

Jenifer and Justin are getting married on Valentine’s Day! Here are a few shots from our recent mini engagement session behind my studio in Beverly Hills.

Photo Tip Using Your Point-and-shoot

Many people think it is all about the camera. There is some truth to this. I would never try to capture a wedding on a point and shoot. I am currently in Mammoth on vacation and I always have a good time trying to do an “artsy” shot with my little Canon Powershot point and...

Photo Techique: Define Your Camera User Settings

Most cameras have the ability to define your own user settings. It is like pre programing your favorite radio stations in your car. Very simple and can save you a ton of time when shooting. Each camera is different so you will have to look to see if yours has it. Here is what you...

TECHNIQUE: Tips to Give Your Clients for Great Photos

Five Ways to Look Your Best in a Photograph
1. Wear solid dark toned colors. Dark colors will make you look slimmer and because photos literally flatten you out patterns are the worst thing to wear to a party when you know you will be photographed or a portrait session.
2. Get rid of that double chin....

TECHNIQUE: CF Card System

When it comes to CF cards, it always baffles me when I see my assistants not labeling their cards. These are usually the newbies who work for me and they learn very quickly to change their ways. Every single CF card should be labeled with your name, web address, phone number, and the word REWARD...

TECHNIQUE: Shutter Drag

Shutter Drag aka Tungsten Blur is where you slow your shutter speed to capture light dragging across your frame. It is best done in very low light. Wedding photographers often do this during the dancing at a reception because they can capture fun party shots with lots of movement around the action. Here is how...

TECHNIQUE: Interior Photography

As a wedding photographer I love the fact that I get to shoot all sorts of things: from still life, to portraits, to PJ, to automotive, to architecture, to interiors. Being an Art Center grad (2001) we were trained back then in all areas of commercial photography. Here are a few tips when shooting interiors:

TECHNIQUE: Irrational Composition

Irrational Composition is a term I use to describe composition that is out of the ordinary. We all know the rule of thirds, to fill the frame, and to have leading lines, but what happens when we throw the rules out the window? Crop off heads, or place the portrait really low on the frame....

TECHNIQUE: Going Unnoticed

Going unnoticed is fairly difficult if you are a wedding photographer at a wedding, however that is precisely the comments I get from many of my clients. “I cannot believe you got that shot! I don’t even remember you being there.” “Wow! how did you catch that!?? I totally remember that!” “You captured so many...

TECHNIQUE: Canon EOS 500D Rebel T1i

This is the new camera everyone is talking about and a great buy if you are trying to get into the DSLR category of cameras: the Canon EOS 500D Rebel T1i. It is a great little camera at a great little price. I highly recommend it for anyone trying to take better photos (and videos!)
