About

Hey, hi! Thanks for stopping by my Wedding Wire page! I have been a professional photographer in the wedding & portrait industry for over 14 years now and have had the honor of capturing lifes most precious milestone moments all around the globe. One of my biggest goals is to make you feel like I am just part of the crew; to make you feel so comfortable and confident in how beautiful your photos are going to be that it's the last thing on your mind! I want you to enjoy every precious moment of your big day with the people that you love the most! Need help planning the perfect location, or bad jokes to break the ice with my giant camera lens pointed directly at you? I'm your gal! (LOL!) I believe in my heart that this kind of friendship and connection with your wedding photographer is incredibly important for both of us!

I love true colors, laughter & adventurous couples! My goal is to create artistic and timeless images for you and your loved ones to cherish for a lifetime, and to tell your love story through images that capture the true spirit of your wedding day and the beginning of your lives together! I'm a big fan of capturing the beauty of your special moments in the way that my eye see's it and I've spent years and years mastering the manual capability of my camera equipment. As you'll see in my images, I love keeping things simple and timeless. I use a combination of contemporary, photojournalistic, natural, and authentic emotion in my photos and in my editing. (Owner of Janea Smith Photography, co-owner of Shutter & Stone Photography and co-owner of Vow Studios Photography - which you'll probably see mentioned in my reviews!)

By the way "hi!" I'm Janea! Most people call me “J”. I am a dog loving, wine drinking, creative minded foodie with a soul that thrives in the mountains and a near life-long local of Estes Park (my dad still lives there!), currently residing on the west side of Loveland. While I love capturing gorgeousness all around the globe; Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park and it's beauty most definetly has my heart. My love for portrait photography began in 2008. I had the honor of capturing an engagement session for two people whom I still keep in contact with today. Watching the sparks fly between the two of them from behind the lens my forever impacted my soul, and here we are now... 14 years later!

Incredible

Janea did an absolutely wonderful job with our wedding photography! She was very attentive to detail and made sure we got all the shots we were hoping for! Her personality make you feel at ease and helps you to feel comfortable in front of the camera. I would highly recommend her. I have gotten so many compliments on the sneak peak photos so far. She was able to coordinate with a tight schedule and allow for space between the wedding events to enjoy the moments. Thank you so much!!!

Our favorite vendor

Words can't explain how amazing Shutter and Stone is. We had them for both our engagement photos and wedding photos and they were so accommodating, so fun to work with, and are so talented. By far, our favorite vendor at our wedding. They know all the mountain shots and have an eye for the most beautiful areas, and were so professional. 100% recommend, you will never be disappointed. We love you guys!

I absolutely love working with Janea and Kate! They are delightful people with truly talented eyes for capturing beautiful moments. (That might sound cheesy, but it's true! Have you seen their website?! Seriously.) I especially love that we're all local Estes Park vendors - if you're thinking about getting married or doing an engagement session up here, they know where to go and how to do it right!

Two things: 1. With Shutter and Stone, you will end up with amazing photos, period. Seriously -- I am always delighted when Janea is the photographer at a wedding ceremony I officiate, because I know the photos will be stunning, breathtaking, and really capture the essential beauty of the moment. One of my favorite all time wedding photos was captured by Janea, and I've seen a lot of photos. 2. This is SUPER important, maybe the most important: Janea really understands the sacred nature of the moment she is capturing on film. She is kind, warm, and generous, so that when you work with her, you'll feel like she is an ally, a participant, a co-creator. Her presence really enhances the moment, so that the wonderful feeling of having just been declared married is not dissipated. Working with Janea will feel like less of a "transaction" and more like you got a new friend to capture your story through photos. She is gifted at her craft, she brings so much goodness and joy, she is a GEM!
