JEANIE HORTON PHOTOGRAPHY
I’m Jeanie,
Your badass Bay Area photographer!
And when I say badass, I mean I’m the girl to get the job done. With 13 years of industry experience, and over 300 weddings shot, I know the ins and outs of all things wedding photography, what works and what doesn’t. My approach to photography is simple: keep it real and keep it fun. No more stiff posing and awkward hands on your hip. We’re going to get loose and laugh until we cry—I promise!
A bit about me…
-Born and bred in Oakland. #hella
-Solo traveling feeds my soul! Recently I’ve traveled to Cuba, Belize, Mexico, and Denmark.
-I love collecting film cameras
-I could spend the day swimming. I worked as a lifeguard, taught and coached swimming, and I love scuba diving!
In-the-moment storytelling.
My photography style blends photojournalism with timeless, classic portraiture.
Honest, timeless, and never forced. I’ll offer gentle direction when it helps, but I steer clear of stiff or cheesy posing. Instead, I focus on real connection, real emotion, and the in-between moments that matter most. I want your photos to feel like you — full of life, color, movement, and meaning. It’s all about telling the true story of your day, beautifully and authentically.
“WOW! Jeanie photographed our wedding at Stern Grove. She did a FANTASTIC job!!! We love our photos, they are so beautiful and vibrant. Like, jaw-droppingly beautiful. She captured the magic of the venue and the day. She was completely professional. On the day of, she maintained a low profile with her assistant. She was never in the way or distracted from what was happening for us or the guests. Her price was extremely reasonable. We loved Jeanie! She has a great warmth to her personality as well. We felt 100% comfortable being our goofy mushy selves in front of her lens. What a great experience.”

What is photojournalism?
At its core, photojournalism is storytelling through images. It’s a style rooted in truth — often seen in news and editorial work — where the goal is to document events honestly, without interference or staging.
So, how does that translate to wedding photography? I’m so glad you asked.
I’m here to tell your story — exactly as it unfolds. The real, raw, unfiltered moments that make your day uniquely yours. From the ugly cries to the open-mouthed belly laughs, the quiet in-between glances to the joy you didn’t even realize was happening — I’m there to capture it all with intention and heart.
With over 13 years of professional experience, I know how to be present without being intrusive. I blend into the background when needed, step in with gentle guidance when it helps, and stay tuned in to every fleeting moment. Because your story deserves to be remembered exactly as it felt — genuine, emotional, and beautifully real.
“VERY happy customer here! Jeanie captured the magic of our proposal/engagement day with the most gorgeous and spectacular images. I've shown her photos to everyone who's asked (and those who haven't!), and just about everyone has wanted Jeanie's info. In addition to her professionalism, Jeanie shared a personal touch that made our day all the more special. Also, she didn't make us wait for weeks and months for the photos, unlike what some friends of mine experienced with other photographers. We can't wait to work with her again!!”
