Patrick is a sly one. He hired us to photograph him actually proposing to his girlfriend. She said yes and everything turned out great!

The artist’s book is really beautiful! It is a great collection of some of the really special moments from our wedding. We’re already enjoying looking through it.

Bob Ocken was amazing! He played a major role in making my wedding day
less stressful. Not only is he an amazing photographer, but he is fun and personable. My whole wedding party loved him and loved hanging out with him throughout the day. He was there for me, and made that very clear from the beginning.

Ocken Photography did a wonderful job with our wedding. They were professional, easy to work with, organized and very laid back! They took all the anxiety and nerves out of wedding planning, and I knew the pictures from the day would be incredible — and they were!

Jenn and Chris were FABULOUS!! They were so pleasant to work with throughout the entire planning process. The day of the wedding was chaotic, horrible weather, and quite a few unexpected events, but they made the most of it and we could not be any more pleased with the way our pictures turned out.

Having the Ockens as our wedding photographers was one of the best decisions we made during our planning. They made us feel very comfortable on our big day. It really felt like we being photographed by our friends. The photos they took are fabulous — really beyond words. Our friends and relatives are raving about them! Also, I know that we will continue to use the Ockens for our family milestones.

I wanted to thank you again for the great job you did at our wedding. The photos turned out great and were exactly what we were looking for… everyone else loves them too! It’s hard to find a photographer who isn’t afraid to try new things and be different, but Jenn knew how to be creative and get the shots we wanted. We both highly recommend her.

Jennifer Ocken is by far one of the best photographers out there. I have never felt more comfortable with someone. I met with four different photographers before deciding to bring her from Chicago to Cleveland for my big day. That was the best decision I made! She took the time to meet everyone and know who was important to me so that she could capture them in her photos on my special day. She was extremely helpful in holding things, helping me out if I needed her, and acting like “one of my girls”! Her artistic eye is amazing! You don’t even know she is there and when you see your photos, they are absolutely amazing and beautiful. I can now look forward to having children and having Jennifer capture all of those wonderful moments.
