About this vendor
Hi There! I'm JT, a Long Island wedding photographer based in Setauket, where I was born and raised. Since 2012, I've photographed weddings, engagements, and families throughout Suffolk County at locations like vineyards, country clubs, golf courses, estates and backyards.
My approach is calm and unobtrusive. I'm not there to direct your day or check off a shot list. I'm there to blend in, read the room and document things as they actually happen like the quiet moments before the ceremony, the unscripted laughter, the details you put so much thought into. I offer guidance when it's genuinely helpful and step back when it's not, so your wedding feels like it belongs to you, not like it's being staged for social media.
Weddings are fast-moving and full of variables. Timelines shift, weather changes, plans evolve. More than a decade of experience means I stay steady and adaptable when they do, so you can stay present instead of managing the day.
I offer flexible coverage options from full day packages with a second photographer to solo coverage for more intimate celebrations. I also love capturing your engagement sessions, proposals, and small events for bridal showers, welcome dinners, and more. I'd love to hear about your day and see if we're a fit.

Oh me and hubby loved JT! He was our only photographer, and did us flawlessly. Great personality, very patient and sweet. The flow was seamless starting from taking photos with bri...
de and bridesmaids, to the grooms and the rest of the groomsmen. Captured all family moments, and we did the photo dash during the reception so we had all photos with the guests. I was amazed he did all these by himself with my 120 guests. Kudos to him! I will definitely use him ❤️
JT was our photographer for a 2025 November wedding on the North fork. JT's aesthetic is timeless and clean, my wife and I loved how our photos turned out. JT was a fantastic photo...
grapher and we would 100% recommend him.
To start - my husband and I planned our wedding in 6 months, and were hoping to find vendors that fit our style and preferences. As soon as we spoke with JT over the phone, we knew...
he was our guy! He has great energy and a true enthusiasm for weddings and all the love that goes with it. We met with him to do an engagement session beforehand and were so happy with the photos, and are even more stunned with how beautiful our wedding photos came out. We don’t look overly posed or stiff at all, and the energy of the day is captured beautifully. He has an incredible light, airy, journalistic style that is evident in each and every one of the photos. His pricing is so fair and with an unlimited time frame on the wedding day, we knew we struck gold. We’re so thankful for JT and his stunning capture of our wedding day!
When I was going through photographers, all the ones with the style I wanted were extremely expensive. All the other photographers in my budget had very outdated photography styles...
and had corny photos. JT is the only photographer I found that worked with my budget and had outstanding photos! My fiancé and I immediately booked him and we had beautiful engagement photos done. We recently received some wedding highlight photos and I couldn't imagine better wedding pictures! JT was with us from the beginning of preparation (around 12pm) till the end of our night (around 10pm). He was great to work with and my husband can't stop looking at the photos!
JT is amazing to work with. At first, we were drawn to his style, each picture was simple yet seemed to really capture the emotional moment. When we first spoke I could tell we wou...
ld get along. He is very personable and listens to what you are looking for and isn’t pushy selling himself. He really doesn’t have to bc his work is beautiful and speaks for itself. His prices are reasonable and he offered a simple straightforward package we were looking for. We are 150% happy with the photos. A nice mix of formals and candids, and he chose perfect settings and backgrounds. We loved so many of the shots that it made it difficult to choose for our thank you cards. JT was available and communicated throughout the planning and process. It was the easiest decision we made. We would definitely recommend him and we hope to work with him again on other shoots!
JT did a great job at my friend's Wedding back in April.
I'm using him for my son's Bat mitzvah!
J. Santini is extremely professional, prompt and talented. He photographed our engagement/wedding date announcement shoot and we were very happy with his work. He was extremely pa...
