Jennifer Mary Collective

Hi, I’m Jen El-Haddad, owner and lead photographer of Jennifer Mary Collective — a dual-city photography brand based in Baltimore, MD and Charleston, SC. I specialize in wedding and branding photography that celebrates connection, color, and storytelling. My love for photography started young — with a Polaroid sticker camera and a stack of disposable film rolls. What began as a childhood obsession grew into a lifelong passion for capturing emotion and artistry in every frame. I’m a curly-headed, Old Bay-loving, caffeine-dependent Marylander with a soft spot for Southern charm (and a colorful Lilly Pulitzer print or two).

Photography has always been my language for storytelling. I first fell in love with the darkroom in high school, developing black-and-white film by hand — a foundation that still shapes my approach today. After studying Photography and Digital Imagery in college, I spent several years in Corporate America before returning to my creative roots. In 2021, I relaunched my business full-time, blending my eye for detail with my love of authentic connection. Whether it’s a wedding, brand session, or intimate celebration, my goal is to create images that feel as good as they look — timeless, vibrant, and filled with heart.
