I'm Jana, a professional fine art and wedding photographer who blends photojournalism and creative portraiture to create meaningful, artful images for you. Before I specialized in weddings I was primarily chasing landscape images. Today, I adore exploring parks and private farms looking for unique settings to photograph your wedding day and engagement session.
If you are looking for an artistic approach with an emphasis on natural settings, I would love to chat more about your photography needs. I look forward to connecting with you soon! I first enjoyed using my camera while exploring landscapes, attempting to tell the story of where I had just been. The beauty of nature continues to inspire me as I capture the story of your wedding day.

My husband and I had such a wonderful experience with Jana, and our brother/sister-in-law and sister/brother-in-law ended up booking with her as well! Jana is super calm and walked us step-by-step through the entire wedding planning process. We knew exactly what our wedding day was going to look like before it came, because she kept us so organized. We had to move our date at one point and she even contacted our DJ for us and ensured he could work with us on the new date, just to take one less thing off our plate. She's so helpful and the photos are STUNNING. Absolutely amazing!! Can't recommend

Jana was the perfect photographer for us. As two people that do not often have their picture taken, we were nervous about that aspect of our wedding day. Minutes into the engagement session, that Jana provides as part of her wedding services, all of those fears fell away. Jana provided just the right amount of direction, and more importantly, made us feel confident to just be ourselves and managed to capture all of the best moments of the session. Come wedding day, she photographed the day perfectly - all while wrangling our wedding party, and keeping things exactly on schedule. Leading up to the

Jana was incredible for both our engagement shoot & wedding day. She takes the time to tell your story through pictures and will get in any location for the right shot. Her instinct, experience, and skill made us fall in love with every photo. On our wedding day she was so organized and on top of things we never had to worry about a single thing, and every picture came out incredible. You can trust that she will get every shot you’re hoping for and more. Jana’s kindness and passion for photography made her an absolute dream to work with and we are so happy with all of our pictures!

Jana cares deeply about telling your love story through photography. She communicates thoroughly, keeping you informed of your options, confirming each step of the process, and ensuring you are on the same page in regard to expectations. Then she works like a ninja to get all the shots on the big day, snapping moments big and small while also never getting in the way of them. Her instinct for angles and light is impeccable. You can trust in her ability to make any setting ethereal and remain full of good energy and inspiration right up to the very end! I am grateful to her for capturing the most

My husband and I first met Jana at our engagement shoot (due to living out of state at the time). She put us both at ease and we had such a wonderful experience. She really was able to capture our special (and silly) moments throughout our engagement and our wedding. We will treasure our photos and memories the rest of our lives together. Thank you again Jana!

Jana embodies everything you could want in a photographer. Not only is she incredibly talented but, she is professional, warm, passionate, and kind. She is the total package! Jana knows how to make her clients feel comfortable in front of the camera, no matter their level of experience. She goes the extra mile to find the shots that you will treasure for a lifetime. If you’re lucky enough to have Jana at your wedding, you can rest assured that the photographs will exceed any expectation!

Jana Scott is the absolute best! She's patient, creative, and has a great eye to capture the best pictures. She made not just myself, but my husband feel so relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera. Not once did we ever feel rushed or that we were just another client to Jana. Our whole wedding party felt that she was so easy going and captured every shot perfectly. Jana made sure not a single detail was missed on our big day and we cannot thank her enough. I still stare daily at not only at our wedding photos, but also at our engagement photos as well. I'd recommend Jana to anyone who is

Working with Jana was an incredible experience. We are thankful that we put the responsibility of photographing one of the most important days of our lives in her hands! We're still not sure how she managed to be everywhere at one time; she beautifully captured all of the important highlights of the day.
In terms of technical skill, Jana's work is exceptional. The photos she took are PROFESSIONAL, and she stands out among the many photographers who have good cameras but are less experienced. Her artistic eye and creative talent make her one of the best!

The perfect combination of photographic talent, artistic vision, outstanding customer service, flexibility with planning and ideas, and a joyful addition to our wedding day. Jana is everything we were looking for and more. I am very particular about photography. I love the art and wanted someone who was more than just a person who decided one day they were a photographer because they bought a nice camera. Jana is a true professional and a true artist. She added to our wedding day with her engaging style. All of our guests raved about her and wanted her to join the festivities. Her willingness to
