We can’t speak highly enough of Jainé and having had her as our engagement and wedding photographer! Jainé’s work speaks for itself - her bright, airy, romantic images are simply stunning, and from the first time we visited her website and social media, we knew she simply had to be our wedding photographer. We clicked during the initial phone call and once we knew she had our date available, it felt meant to be. Jainé takes time to get to know her clients at a personal level, and it shows in their comfort and ease behind her lens. My husband and I can be quite camera shy, but Jainé makes you feel instantly at home. She not only trekked out to Greenport for our engagement session, she also shot our wedding on the North Fork of Long Island, and as soon as she arrived on site, I can’t even begin to tell you the sense of calm I felt having her at the creative helm - and just having her there personally. She has an incredible eye and the ability to identify beautiful photo backdrops. Not to mention, she supported us through a postponement and then a venue cancellation less than two months out from our wedding date, checking in to see how we were doing and offering suggestions wherever possible. We cannot wait to have Jainé with us for future family milestones, and truly consider her a friend. She is beyond amazing, and if you’re lucky enough to have her with you, know that you’re in the most incredible hands. The sneak peeks we’ve received of our wedding day have had us swooning, and we can’t wait to see our final gallery. We love Jainé so much, and can’t even begin to put into words how grateful we feel for her talent, warmth, and presence, not to mention the family heirlooms she's created that we will cherish for years to come.
Jainé is the best!!! It was such a pleasure working with her and her team for both our engagement shoot and wedding day. She was super responsive, organized, and kind leading up to the wedding day and such a breath of fresh air on the day of!! She was like a ninja sneaking into all the best shots on the dance floor during the reception. I had mentioned how important it was to get those action shots and I could tell she made it a priority! Her pictures, of course, are so gorgeous and intimate - the images speak for themselves!
We knew we wanted to work with Jainé immediately after seeing her dreamy photos. From our first conversation until the very end of the process, Jainé was wonderful to work with. We originally scheduled our wedding before the COVID pandemic and ended up switching the date (twice!) and venue. Jainé was very accommodating and willing to work with us during the unsteady time. On the day of the wedding she made us feel so comfortable and was able to capture all of the special moments we will cherish forever. The photos we received are absolutely stunning! We love the timeless look of the photos and the variety of beautiful backdrops she created at the venue. Thank you Jainé!
When it comes to photography, there is simply no one like Jainé! She is not only greatly skilled at her craft, but her genuine care for her couples takes the experience of working with her to a whole new level. Jainé has now photographed two engagement sessions and one mini wedding ceremony for me and my husband, and I will ONLY turn to her to capture the big moments in our future (including our Covid postponed "real" wedding next year). Jainé makes sure that you are getting exactly what you want when it comes to your photos and, even though I know she's thinking of a lot (like lighting, scenery, where people are standing), she makes the whole process SO easy and stress-free. She made me and my camera-shy husband feel extremely comfortable through all of our sessions, and she always takes the time to explore new photo spots or meaningful places so that we can capture those perfect memories.
Beyond this, Jainé was an amazing support system during the scary and uncertain time of being a "Covid bride." She stayed with us through every up and down and we never felt lost or alone as we navigated two postponements and multiple new date options. She truly cares about her couples, and genuinely loves being a part of their love stories, and that is what makes Jainé such a special person.
At this point, I consider Jainé family and would not recommend anyone else for wedding/life photography!
It took me exactly one look through Jainé’s website and one introductory phone conversation to know that we HAD to have her as our wedding day photographer. You don’t need me to tell you that Jainé is a brilliant film photographer who uses natural light to create truly magical, timeless, romantic photographs that we will treasure for our lifetime; you can see that for yourselves on her website! So I’ll focus on our experience working with her! I love that Jainé is so organized and detail oriented, but more importantly, I love that she is sweet, funny, and managed to make my husband and I feel like we have known her for ages – she is exactly who we wanted to have with us for 11 hours on our wedding day!! Starting with engagement photos, which we were dreading to be honest, Jainé made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera. She sent us a detailed e-mail beforehand with tips for optimizing the experience and gave us all the guidance we needed to get the most incredible shots. We used them for thank you notes, as stamps for our wedding invitations, to create a guest book – the list goes on and on. Several months before the wedding, Jainé put together our very detailed photography timeline, sent us more helpful wedding day tips, and answered a million questions, all while feeling more like a friend than a vendor. When the wedding day finally arrived, it was perfect. Jainé had gone scouting the week of the wedding to find the PERFECT spots in Central Park to take our pictures. She managed the timeline like a well-oiled machine and the shots that she captured were BEYOND MY WILDEST DREAMS. I know because she sent us a few teasers immediately after the wedding! Jainé, I could go on and on singing your praises, but Jared and I can’t thank you enough for all that you did for us throughout this process. We love you and will have you capture many more special moments in our lives.
Working with Jainé was a real treat! From the moment we had our first phone call, I knew she would be the perfect person to photograph our wedding.
Besides the obvious fact that her photography is absolutely beautiful, timeless, and classic, she also really cared about getting to know my husband and I's story. Throughout our first conversation, she asked me about how my husband and I met, what we were like as a couple, and what we envisioned for our wedding. I honestly felt like I was chatting with a lifelong friend, and I knew I wanted her by my side on our big day. Once the day came, I knew I made the best decision as I watched how she navigated through the chaos of a New York City wedding. You might not believe this, but there was a moment where a man skateboarded past her carrying, what I believe was a python, and she still managed to capture the shot! It was seriously very impressive. Once we received our wedding photos, my husband and I were absolutely blown away and we had some major laughs over the snake picture. There were so many incredible memories to choose from that it actually took us a couple of hours to decide which pictures to frame for our home. Thank you so much, Jainé. You truly are the best!
Jainé was a dream to work with! From our engagement session all the way through our wedding day, she made us feel incredibly comfortable, was attentive to all of our needs, and kept us smiling. She caught all the best moments of our special day and the pictures are absolutely beautiful. We can't stop looking at them. Jainé is completely devoted to her craft and will do anything to ensure she gets the perfect shot- even if it it means suffering a hora injury while capturing the laughter on the dance floor! Not only did we find an amazing photographer, we have also made a dear friend.
Jainé was recommended to us by our planner and we couldn’t be happier with our choice of photographer! We reviewed a bunch of different photographers and Jainé not only had a great portfolio but was super friendly and easy to work with. On the day of our wedding she was great with our entire wedding party and put us completely at ease. Jainé has a great eye and found some really unique spots for our photos during our wedding day. We just got them back and they came out amazing! Jainé was able to capture every important moment over the weekend from our rehearsal dinner to the dance floor and we’re so appreciative of her hard work. From start to finish, Jainé was a pleasure to work with and we’d highly recommend using her!
After our first call with Jaine, we knew we’d found someone who would make us comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. We were really focused on getting genuine and candid “us” moments, and she really went above and beyond. Our wedding day turned out to be rainy and overcast, but Jaine was prepared for every scenario, and she got amazing shots standing in the rain under a bright umbrella. The photos ended up being so unique and cool! Not only do we love our photos, but her confidence, expertise and kindness just made the whole process so easy. Hiring her is an easy, smart choice for anyone looking for a versatile and special wedding photographer!
Jaine was a dream to work with from start to finish. I don't know what we would have done without her! From our first call, to our wedding day, and everything in between, Jaine was helpful, responsive, thoughtful, and easy to work with. The first day we actually met in-person was at our Crawfish Boil Welcome Party the day before our wedding, and we immediately knew we had made the right decision having Jaine as our photographer. She made everyone feel so comfortable to the point where we almost forgot she was there capturing every moment- not to mention she was incredibly patient with our 24 person wedding party! Jaine's work is absolutely breathtaking...I loved her photography style before we worked with her and love it so much more now that we have our own memories captured by brklyn view. We made the decision to cut a videographer from our wedding budget, and couldn't have been happier that we did because Jaine and her team captured our entire wedding weekend in such a beautiful and special way- we feel like we were reliving every moment just looking at each picture and they still bring tears to my eyes! One of my favorite bonus surprises of working with Jaine was having her work of our wedding featured on BRIDES.com- such a fun way to remember our wedding weekend! The easiest decision you can make during your wedding planning process is to hire Jaine to be a part of your wedding team. We LOVE brklyn view photography, and can't wait to one day have Jaine capture more of our most treasured life moments.
The two things that went completely right on my wedding day- I got to marry my husband and I got to work with Jainé! She exceeded our wildest dreams and we are so lucky we were able to work with her. I’ll chalk it up to fate bringing us together after losing hope of finding the wedding photographer of my dreams. From the moment we met her at our engagement session, we knew that this was a perfect fit and it gave us so much more to look forward to on our wedding day. Her beautiful pictures speak for themselves and we love each and every shot captured from our engagement pictures to our wedding day. What sets Jainé apart is not only her exceptional talent but also her kindness, thoughtfulness, and upbeat spirit. On our wedding day, Jainé was my calming force when I needed it most and she was the circus wrangler for our massive wedding party. If I could marry my husband all over again Jainé would be my first call and we can’t wait to work with her again in the future!
Jainé and I hit it off on the phone immediately the first time we spoke. She was so kind and funny and easy to talk to so I knew she was going to be great to work with. We first met Jainé during our engagement shoot which I highly recommend for all couples because you really get to know each other prior to your wedding. I was drawn to Jainé’s photography because everything she shoots looks timeless maybe thats the use of natural light or her use of film but she is able to create a photo that makes you feel like you are back in that moment. Our wedding day was a beautiful sunny day and our venue was a gorgeous green lush landscape which I knew would make Jainé so excited! The day of could not have been more perfect, she captured each moment so perfectly and I always felt at ease. You truly get lost in so many moments during your wedding day between seeing your husband for the first time and hugging family members but Jainé and her team never missed an opportunity to create a photo that makes you smile every time you glance at it. (I have 8 already framed in my house) It you want a classic photography with a perfect eye for detail Jainé at Brklynview is for you. We cannot wait to use her in the future for more moments to capture in time. <3 Love, Megan and Sam 5.26.2018 Cedar Lakes Estate
From the first phone call we knew Jainé was the perfect fit. She was friendly, professional and had a very calming presence, which is needed on such an important day. It ended up raining on our wedding day, but you would never know that based on how bright and stunning the pictures turned out. Even though our plans had to change, Jainé and her team never skipped a beat. She even made our photo shy friends and family feel comfortable. We can’t thank her enough and hope to work with her again in the future!
Jainé is truly the best - we feel so lucky that we were able to work with her. Not only is she extremely talented (her work speaks for itself!) but she is a genuine, kind person - the exact person you would want third-wheeling with you on your wedding day!
We were married in October and Jainé (along with her second shooter, Eileen) made the day run really smoothly! We received our photos recently and we were so incredibly pleased with what we received. Jainé has a fantastic eye, and we know that these photos are keepsakes that we will enjoy for the rest of our lives.
I highly recommend doing one of the packages with the engagement photos - being able to work with Jainé before the big day definitely calmed nerves on our end and it was a nice preview for the wedding day.
It goes without saying that we would not hesitate to recommend Jainé to any of our family/friends that we are planning a wedding. A heartfelt thanks to Jainé for everything!!
During our engagement shoot, when Jainé was photographing us from across the street, dodging cars and balancing an umbrella in the crook of her arm in the middle of a New York downpour, we figured we had found the perfect person to be our wedding photographer. And later, when we first saw some the breathtaking shots from our engagement shoot, where she produced immaculate pictures that captured us in several sweet and unguarded moments, we were sure. On the day of the wedding, Jainé put us completely at ease and the knowledge that someone so thoughtful and organized would be documenting our wedding day allowed us to be fully present for the ceremony. We still tear up looking at the beautiful pictures that Jainé took of us and our family and friends, and we’re so grateful to her for that.
had Jainé capture our special day!!
Booking Jainé as our photographer was the easiest and best decision we made! We were first drawn to her amazing pictures that we saw online. We loved how she was able to capture such special moments in a natural way. The lighting and softness of her pictures are beautiful! She is so talented and right away totally got what we were looking for. For our engagement photos she made us feel so comfortable and helped us pick out the best spots. She really helped us plan out our wedding day timeline. She was able to grab the attention of our bridal party and give guidance to the larger group. Our wedding photos perfectly captured the vibe of the entire day and night and we continue to get compliments on them! She is so detail oriented, professional, and able to execute on your dream wedding photos!
Jaine was the first and only photographer we spoke with for our wedding. After seeing Jaine’s work and meeting with her in person, it was love at first sight! Choosing all the other vendors for our special day was much more difficult in order to find the right fit for usI Deciding to go with Jaine was the easiest decision of the entire process and we booked her immediately after our first meeting. My husband hates taking photos and was nervous about our engagement session. Jaine and her team were so friendly and caring; she made the entire process so much fun walking around Brooklyn Heights where we first met. Even my husband admitted that he enjoyed the day and said it felt very natural! We were thrilled when we received our engagement shots and felt like Jaine really captured our love and the beauty of Brooklyn which is a special place for us as a couple. On our wedding day, the most special day of our lives, Jaine kept our large wedding party on schedule and was so enjoyable to be around with her calm demeanor and positive attitude. Jaine took such amazing photos of us and the Montauk Yacht Club where our ceremony and reception was held. I will cherish these pictures for the rest of my life. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Jaine and her photographic skills. Any bride and groom would be lucky to have Jaine as their wedding photographer; she is so talented and we feel like we've made a new friend!
Thank you so much for capturing our day so beautifully! Looking through these pictures helps us relive that amazing day over and over. Jaine, I have been watching your work develop from the very start and I knew, even before I met my husband, that I would want you at my wedding one day! I was thrilled at the excitement you had when I told you my wedding would not be local and your complete willingness to travel, knowing you had just had your adorable Tilly! Your calmness during the day, during the sweltering heat and the adjustments we had to make because of it, helped keep me calm as well. Your organizational skills and attention to detail as a wedding photographer are exceptional, and for someone like me who felt I had to plan every detail myself, it was great to see that one of my vendors had actually done so much work for me before I had thought to! We have received so many complements on our wedding photos and we will cherish them forever!
Jainé is an absolute gem and we cannot recommend her highly enough! She perfectly captured our special day, and we will cherish her photos forever. As soon as we met her, we knew she was “the one”. Her warm and friendly personality put us at ease immediately, so we knew we’d have no problem looking natural in our photos. Throughout the planning process, she was communicative and well organized. On our wedding day, she was efficient without ever making us feel rushed, and she was so discrete that we didn’t even realize she was there half of the time! She had such a calming effect on us, and for that we will always be grateful. Our photos turned out even better than we could have imagined. Jainé has such a keen eye for detail and her ability to work with natural light is incredible. We only hope that we’ll have the opportunity to work with her again someday!
They say people come into your life for a reason," and that's truly how we feel about Jaine! Finding a top notch photographer that reflected our "romantic yet whimsical" wedding vision was at the top of our to-do list and finding Jaine was a breath of fresh air. Following our first phone date, we were hooked. Booking Jaine was one of the easiest decisions we made and one we'll always be thankful we did. Talent in New York is plentiful but Janie's is something special. She is dedicated, detail orientated, organized, a team player, loyal, and her loving spirit is infectious. Jaine captured our engagement journey and our wedding day perfectly and we couldn't be more pleased with the digital memories that followed. We recommend Jaine without any reservations!
We were recommended to Jainé from a friend of a friend who was extremely happy with her as their wedding photographer. We looked at her portfolio online after getting the recommendation and were truly blown away. The natural light and life that she brings to photos were the best we had seen and as such were very interested. We reached out and had the pleasure of talking with her on the phone. As context, we had spoken with about 7 different photographers when we started planning the wedding as the photographer was the first vendor we tried to book. From the second we talked to Jainé on the phone she was just so easy to talk to and knowledgeable about the whole wedding planning process. Not only did she make us feel at ease but she offered us a list of recommended vendors which was extremely appreciated (many of whom we ended up using)! Jainé is extremely organized and as we were both focused on making the day perfect this was greatly appreciated. We went into our wedding day knowing that everything was going to be taken care of (especially since she crafted a detailed photography timeline of the whole day which involved 4 different venues). While we had met Jainé at our engagement photos she hadn't yet met our families. Luckily we had the pleasure of having her come to our rehearsal dinner and as expected Jainé was great with everyone. She was friendly, professional, and just so easy to get along with. She was able to get to know everyone so it made getting photos at the wedding even more smooth. Her work speaks for itself but we can't stress enough how amazing it was not to worry about anything photography related, arguably the most important part of your wedding since that is what you have to remember your special day by forever. We knew we would look at ease in every photo she captured because that's exactly how she made us feel. We could not have picked a better photographer and are completely obsessed with all of our photos. We know that she will help us capture special moments throughout the rest of our lives as a married couple. We cannot recommend Brklyn View enough!
I feel so lucky that Jainé was our wedding photographer. Choosing the right photographer was really important to us. I came across Jainé's work on wedding blogs. Her style struck me right away - the way she captured people, moments, light and space is beautiful and delightful. When we met Jainé in person, we clicked right away and knew she was the one for us! She was a joy to work with leading up to and on our wedding day. Jainé is professional, responsive, organized, passionate about her work, and most of all, so much fun to work with. I couldn't be happier with our wedding photos and our experience with Jainé and her talented team.
Jaine made our wedding day. She was so wonderful and comfortable to work with, she put at us both at ease and capture not only the look of our wedding day perfectly, but the overall atmosphere and feeling as well. We have gotten so many compliments on our photos, and we will treasure them. Many people remarked that they couldn't even tell there were two photographers there (she also had her assistant) which I think is one of the greatest things to say about a wedding photographer - someone who can capture all the intimate moments but doesn't intrude on the night! I highly recommend her for both engagement photos and a wedding! Hope to use her again in the future for family photos!
Jainé is such a sweetheart and has everything (professionalism, passion, diligence, friendliness, and so on) you want from your wedding photographer.
She shot our engagement and wedding photos, and working with her was the best decision we made throughout the whole wedding planning. We had a very tight and busy schedule (back to back engagement session and wedding) and Jainé was very helpful and flexible with scheduling.
It was a very hot summer day in NYC when we shot the engagement photos. We all were sweating, but Jainé never lost smile on her face and helped us go through the process smoothly. Finally, we could’t be happier with our photographs. Jainé's work is simply magnificent and faultless. We fall in love with our photos every time we look at them. We had such a great overall experience and would recommend her to anyone without any reservation.
From the second we met Jainé we knew she was the one! She made us feel super comfortable and at ease. Jainé is personable, professional and all around a pleasure to work with. She was able to capture special, intimate moments through out the wedding. I cannot begin to explain how outrageously beautiful the photos are, simply perfect. We couldn't be happier with the end result. Thank you Jainé for helping our special day live on for years to come!
We traveled to New York from Sydney to get married in a very intimate ceremony with only 11 guests. Photography was extra important as we wanted the moment captured in order to share it with our friends and family who weren't going to be there.
I contacted Jaine and she was always really prompt at getting back to me and answering all my questions. She was able to provide us with a smaller 4 hour package as our wedding was mid week and we didn't need hours and hours of photography getting ready and covering the whole reception.
She was super professional and gave us a questionnaire to fill out to ensure all our shots would be captured. On the day she had an assistant to help and was super professional, allowing us the time to celebrate after the ceremony but then guiding us to a beautiful spot in Central Park to have more formal photos taken, and then capturing some gorgeous images of my husband and I. At our reception venue in Brooklyn she captured our guests relaxing on the terrace enjoying champagne with the spectacular Manhattan skyline in the background, and she really understood how important it was for us to have iconic NY skylines captured in some shots given we are from Australia.
Since we returned home Jaine has been in touch to keep us up to date on the progress of the gallery which she uploads to a site to make it super easy for us to select the images we would like to keep, and in fact has completed the gallery much faster than the initial time frame she gave us. She captured our day perfectly and we love the special moments she shot that are normally so hard to capture in an image.
Jaine and her team are as good as a wedding photographer can be. The photos are outstanding!! They got every person and every moment captured in a natural way. She has a great bedside manner and makes you feel like a celebrity. On the wedding day they were all dressed very nicely and were a pleasure to be around. Nothing but nice words about them from all of our guests.
The online gallery is wonderful, and comes with compressed photos ready for your social media sharing.
Highly recommend! So happy we chose Jaine and Brklyn View Photography!
I absolutely adore Jainé! She was so friendly and efficient from the start, getting to know me and my husband, as well as all the little details. Despite the lengthy time gaps between the consultation, engagement session, and the wedding, she still managed to reach out to us periodically just to check in or send thoughtful gifts. Being an organized person myself, I never felt the need to remind her of anything. During the shoot and wedding, she made us feel at ease, allowing us to forget the camera and our surroundings. Not to mention her work is incredible, utilizing natural light and candid moments. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented photographer with a genuine personality. Thank you Jainé!
Jainé made the unfamiliar experience of being in front of a camera for hours feel so comfortable, special and fun! We met for coffee and lunch a couple of months before the wedding and we knew we had made the right choice - she's sweet, friendly, and clearly knowledgeable and talented in her field.
On the wedding day, she was professional and seemed to be everywhere at once. She has such a warm presence and we were sad to see her go at the end of the night! The results are incredibly beautiful and we couldn't be happier!
