Can not say enough amazing things about Janelle!! From start to finish she was incredible, responsive, and so kind. She was such a calming part of our wedding, was so professional, and listened to everything we wanted. Both our engagement shoot photos and our wedding photos are amazing! We have gotten so many compliments on them and could not be happier! I highly recommend booking with Janelle!
Janelle was the most incredible wedding photographer. From start to finish we had the most wonderful experience with Janelle and her team - they are responsive, professionals and truly care that your special day is amazing. On our wedding day it was Janelle and two other photographers (Stephanie and Kevin). All of them were amazing and we have over 1300+ photos from our wedding day. I can’t stress enough how comfortable Janelle and her team made me and my husband - she is one of the main reasons our wedding day ran so smoothly. She is so hands on that she even coordinated schedules with all of our vendors just to make sure everyone was on the same page!! If you are able to secure Janelle for your wedding day I would - it is one of the best decisions we made!!
I cannot recommend JBP enough!! Janelle and her team were an absolute dream to work with for our December 2023 wedding. From the moment we initially spoke in 02/2022 to getting our sneak peak photos a few weeks ago, this has been the easiest and most seamless process. Janelle is so so so sweet, personable, funny & easy to work with. Amy is so organized and made sure we stayed on track, sent reminder emails & made sure we got all the photographs we wanted. On the day her supporting photographers were also amazing (special shout out to Kevin!). Now this is not even talking about the AMAZING quality of work they produce. Saying I'm obsessed with our photographs is a complete understatement. STOP WHATEVER YOU ARE DOING & HIRE THEM IMMEDIATELY.
Janelle and team were absolutely amazing on our special day and every day leading up! Janelle is extremely kind, professional and creative. During both our engagement shoot and wedding day, she coached us through and made us feel extremely comfortable and at ease. She kept us in high spirits even when it rained on our wedding day and all the photos came out absolutely phenomenal. I will cherish them for years to come and definitely hire Janelle + co in the future!
This review comes with a full disclaimer that nothing I could ever write about Janelle Brooke Photography would do Janelle, her team, and her photos justice; but I will sure try. After receiving a prompt and incredibly warm response from our inquiry to Janelle, we booked a Zoom call to get to know a little bit more about each other and also perused Janelle’s website and Instagram (did I mention how insanely talented she is?) Her pictures simply took my breath away. They were EXACTLY the kind of photos we were both looking for out of our vision for the day; romantic, authentic, classic, not overly edited, a wonderful balance between posed and candid. We knew right off the bat she was going to be the one for us. After we Zoomed with Amy, it was even more of a lock-in. We booked literally five minutes after our phone call ended and the rest, as they say, is history. Throughout the last year and a half, Janelle has become not just our wedding photographer but a trusted confidant for all things wedding, a shoulder to lean on and a forever friend. That goes for Amy, too. No question has ever been too silly, no idea out of place. From the moment we met Janelle, she just made us feel SO comfortable (and surprisingly, posing for wedding photos with your soon to be spouse is not always the most natural thing). She has an eye for the beauty in simple moments but also knows how to to capture the dreamiest scenes. Each and every single person that saw our engagement photos told me “I have NEVER seen photos like that before!” We already knew that Janelle would have our backs, but especially on our wedding day, Janelle was the most calm and centered presence for me and was able to read my mind with just a look at her about what worked and what wasn’t working. But that is what you can expect from working with someone like Janelle- she understands you and makes dreams, truly come true. Because seeing even just our highlight photos this weekend was an experience I will never forget. They were beyond my wildest dreams and I will truly treasure them forever. What I will treasure more, though, is the memories we have of working with Janelle and her team, including Mary, our second shooter of the day, who was able to wrangle all of the groomsmen together and keep them excited and organized, and who also was capturing each and every single detail so beautifully; and Kevin, who was a very much welcome third-shooter who was our personal hype man throughout the entire day, as he was genuinely excited to be with us and was truly up for anything. Literally, the entire team went along with my crazy plea to go outside despite the fact that it was pouring the entire day, but there was a 10 minute block of sun that we chased and thank goodness we did. They also agreed to photograph us in the rain at the end of the night and those pictures, too, are just magical. This review could truly go on forever about how much we love Janelle and her team. If you are lucky enough to be able to book Janelle for your wedding day (or any life event), I promise that it will be the best decision you will make throughout your event planning. Full Stop. Thank you, Janelle, for everything!
Janelle and Amy have both been absolutely amazing! The communication has been great since day 1. We recently took our engagement photos with Janelle and were blown away with how stunning they turned out. Our friends and family couldn't stop raving about them either. Janelle calmed our nerves so much with her sweet and fun personality. I have so much confidence going into our wedding in a few months knowing that Janelle will be the one capturing our special day.
Thank you to Janelle and her team for helping to make our dreams come true on our wedding day at the de Seversky Mansion on 6/25/23! Janelle and her team brought the most positive energy to the day, helping to make everyone feel relaxed and confident (even for those in the family who do not like their photo taken). They are also the most professional team - listening to the bride and groom to get all the shots and groups requested as well as choreographing a photo timeline and plan for where and when to take photos! This is quite the challenge at a venue as large as the de Seversky Mansion where the grounds are so vast with endless photo possibilities and locations. However, they pulled it off flawlessly and got all requests checked off and done while sticking to the timeline to get to the ceremony start right on time - you can really trust the team to execute flawlessly. Janelle, Amanda, and Kevin all received numerous compliments from the wedding party for their professionalism and expertise - true industry professionals.
We also had Janelle's team (Danielle) document our rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding and really enjoyed the experience and getting to document the other special moments from the weekend.
Thank you to Janelle and her team for the clear dedication to their craft and for making our wedding day perfect with memories to last a lifetime!
Absolutely wonderful. Book her immediately. She is so nice, so calming (which is needed for such a busy day), and most importantly she is so talented. Our engagement photos were stunning. She was so wonderful on our wedding day. And I can't wait to work with her to make our wedding album.
5 stars isn’t enough! There are so many wonderful things to say about JBP that I don’t even know where to start. Janelle and her team are truly the BEST. I interviewed 12 photographers for my wedding, and I knew after my first phone call with Janelle she was the one. Not only is she and her team insanely talented and professional she was also just so cool and fun to be around and a TREMENDOUS help throughout the process, especially in the last couple of weeks. She goes out of her way for her clients and truly treats them like family. She makes the day so fun and keeps everything on track. Not only did I not have to worry Janelle was capturing perfect photos, but I also didn’t really have to worry about anything at all given how smoothly she handles all the logistics. My husband and I loved her from the initial call and then throughout each step of the way (engagement shoot) initial tour of the venue etc. we knew hands over hat that we picked the perfect photographer for our day. I could really go on forever, but I promise you if you select Janelle and JNP for your wedding it will be the best thing you do. We are such fans of Janelle we had her come on Friday night and going forward if we were to have kids, we would want her to be there with us to capture all of life’s exciting moments. JBP is simply the best.
Janelle is the sweetest person and you can tell she is passionate about what she does. She goes above and beyond just being a photographer, it is like working with a friend you’ve known forever. She & her office manager (Amy) were so so helpful & responsive leading up to the wedding. We used her for our engagement photoshoot and our wedding in December and I will never use anyone else!! She made me and my now husband feel so comfortable in front of the camera and her photos are beautiful. We already have so many teasers and she even helped get 2 photos printed and framed in time for Christmas to give as gifts for our parents! Book Janelle today, you won’t regret it. She is the absolute best.
Janelle’s photography originally struck me based on the artistry and attention to detail that is so evident in all her work. Besides her beautiful photography, she is also a beautiful person both inside and out. She was such a calming presence on our Wedding Day and helped put us at ease the entire day. She went above and beyond and contacted the venue for us to set up the ceremony differently than usual (having the staircase as a focal point rather than facing a curtain). The ceremony setup was SO beautiful and I was so thankful she thought to point out the alternate setup because I probably would not have thought to with everything going on that day! Throughout the process she has been so kind and really took the time to get to know us. From our engagement shoot where she wanted to get us comfortable behind the camera, to checking in throughout the planning process, and meeting in person prior to the wedding to go through different shot options, she really covers it all. Our wedding was on 11.25.22 and within a few days she already had some teasers for us to view! They are absolutely stunning and I can’t wait to see the rest of our photos! Her assistant Mary was also fantastic and went out of her way to bring some additional details (clown noses for the flower girls/ring bearer) to help ham it up!
Janelle and her team did an amazing job capturing our wedding day! The photos are more beautiful than I could have imagined and Janelle was such a pleasure to work with from the initial hiring process, to our engagement shoot to the wedding day. She spent a lot of time getting to know us and what was most important to us at our wedding. Janelle also kept us on track and calm throughout the day. We highly recommend working with Janelle!
Having Janelle photograph your wedding is like having a lifelong friend by your side all day! Janelle took our engagement and wedding photos, and we were most definitely not comfortable in front of the camera at first but Janelle made it SO easy and fun! She really listened to what my husband and I wanted and made sure to get all of our important shots while adding in so many gorgeous others. Our pictures are stunning and we are already looking for another reason to book a session with Janelle again :)
I’m so happy I went with Janelle for my wedding this October. Communication with her and Amy was excellent, they were so accommodating during the whole process and helpful. I can’t say enough nice things about Janelle. I’m so appreciative for her. She really made me feel so comfortable during our pre wedding on-site visit and on the wedding day. I wasn’t happy with a different photographer who took my engagement pictures and she listened to all the things I wasn’t happy about to make sure I didn’t feel that way with my wedding photos. She made it a priority to take all the shots I wanted that we discussed prior to the wedding day. So far I just received my sneak peak pictures of the wedding and I am so happy and amazed by every picture. This is rare for me to say because I am usually so critical of myself in pictures and hate the way I look. Her skills are amazing and not overly edited or filtered like other photographers. I would hire her again 100x over.
Where do I begin?! Janelle is the most wonderful and talented photographer!!!! My husband and I met her at the deSeversky bridal showcase back in 2021. Her work is stunning. She is a genuine, kind, and talented photographer! She is very professional and personable to work with- she will meet with you at a coffee shop to finalize details with you! She was so organized the day of our wedding. Everything ran so smoothly! If I could rate her 100 stars I would! We plan to use her when we start a family!!!! Thank you Janelle and team for making our wedding day perfect and capturing beautiful memories for us! We are in awe already with our sneak peek photos and look forward to a future with the JBP team!
Oh my gosh, where do I even start with Janelle? It’s hard to put into words how wonderful she is. The only way to put it is Janelle is truly top-notch. From the second we met her, she made us feel like we knew her forever and is so warm and kind. We did our engagement shoot with her at Planting Fields in Oyster Bay, and she knew the grounds like the back of her hand. She captured the most beautiful photos in the most beautiful places. She helped us to figure out what we liked and what we didn’t like, this way she knew the exact types of pictures we wanted on our wedding day. Janelle was always so responsive, and goes above and beyond to make sure she knows your visions. She will meet with you as many times as you need, and at great length with great detail. On our wedding day, Janelle was not only our photographer, but my right hand woman for literally everything, personal hype girl, and day-of coordinator. She made me feel like the most beautiful bride in the world and coordinated the day for me (with my other vendors) from top to bottom with a full itinerary along with a detailed shot list. Janelle is the perfect combination of assertive with blending in. She was easily able to keep everything/everyone on track with timing, get everyone’s attention when needed, help gather specific people for shots, yet and also blended right in during the reception. She made sure we captured every single shot we wanted. Her work is art and is truly impressive. They say you get what you pay for, and Janelle is hands down worth every single penny.
Amazing since the day wr hired her!! Janelle and her team really get to know you as a couple and what you invision on your special dayy!! She is kind, patient, so easy to get along with and check-in when least expect to make sure everything is perfect!!! She made our day easy, fun, and stress free! I will continue to use her in the future that how much I appreciate her!!
Janelle Brooke Photography is the only option for fabulous photographs and memories! I had seen Janelle's work prior to my engagement and immediately fell in love. We utilized Janelle for our engagement photos and 1st intimate wedding (thank you COVID). Janelle and Beth were our photographers for our big wedding bash this past March. Everything about the experiences were top notch. Janelle and Beth made us feel comfortable and excited. The team made sure we were prepared and well informed every step of the way. Of course all the photos came out stunning and us and our families adore them. Remember the only thing you take from your wedding are your photos so if you want the best you must work with the best, that will always be Janelle Brooke Photography. We will be life long customers!
Janelle Brooke Photography are the absolute best. I was quite picky when selecting our photographer and we knew JBP was perfect immediately. They are professional, thoughtful, courteous and so incredibly good at what they do. Janelle and her team photographed our wedding, rehearsal dinner and other events since then. With all of the details that we had to plan and worry about, it was reassuring to know that our photos would be perfect simply because we hired the right team. Janelle has an organic way of capturing every magical moment without making you feel like you have a camera in your face all day. I can’t thank JBP enough.
Janelle just did our wedding on January 15th at Waters Edge. She was phenomenal. Her and Beth both were such a pleasure to work with that it felt effortless (besides the cold). We had such an amazing time we actually saved our engagement shoot to do something in the future.
I first heard of Janelle back when one of my cousins got married in 2013. I LOVED how her photos came out. When it came time to decide on a photographer for my own wedding, Janelle came to mind and I reached out to her. We love the work she does with natural lighting and her editing skills are out of this world. Janelle is the kindest, most caring individual. My husband and I had the best time taking our engagement photos with her. It was like we all knew each other for the longest time! We knew we made the right choice. When our wedding day came around, we had and amazing day with Janelle and her second photographer Danielle. They both kept saying they were having so much fun with us and loved capturing every single detail of our day. They were both so professional, making sure that they got every single photo we wanted on our list and kept checking on us both throughout the day, making sure we were doing well. Our bridal party and parents enjoyed taking pictures with them. They made everything so easy! About two weeks after the wedding, Janelle sent us some teaser photos and they are STUNNING. My husband and I were crying over how beautiful they are. A few months later, we got the rest of our photos and they were all PERFECT. It's so hard to just pick a few favorites. All of them are my favorite. I look at them multiple times a day, reliving every moment. Janelle is a master of her craft. You can't go wrong!
Janelle is AMAZING. She was the first vendor I booked. I knew I wanted her to take my wedding photos. When I had to reschedule my wedding because of COVID, Janelle and her team made the process 100% stress-free, and it was so nice. She is the loveliest person and so easy to work with. She and her team made planning (and replanning) our wedding the best possible experience. She was there every step of the way and made every part so much more enjoyable. I truly loved how calm Janelle always was, even when I started to worry about little things. She really kept the energy up, the nerves down, and we all just had so much fun! We had a rather large wedding party and she kept everyone on schedule and made sure we got every single shot I requested. I can not recommend her enough! I plan to use her for any photos I ever need taken. She's the best!
Janelle was one of the first vendors we hired and she was one of the best! She knew how to make us feel comfortable in front the camera, she did a beautiful job on our engagement photoshoot, and her team kept in touch with us up until days before our wedding. The day of, she made of us feel like we were superstars and the photos she delivered were absolutely gorgeous. Her work is exceptional and as a person, she is incredibly sweet and considerate. I am so happy with our choice!
Janelle and her team have gone above and beyond during the pandemic for my husband and I!!!
We had our little intimate, legal ceremony last year and Janelle acted as my therapist/wedding planner. When the world was basically ending and I was having an emotional breakdown she'd call just to check in on us and reassure us that no matter what she'd be there to document our day. On the actual day of our little ceremony she stayed for 6 hours just to make sure everything ran smoothly. I'm so happy we have those beautiful photos to remember our special day even though it wasn't the big wedding we had planned.
This year we finally had our big reception, she came with her second photographer. They really did such a fantastic job of keeping everyone to the timeline and getting all of the pictures we had discussed we wanted ahead of time. During the cocktail hour I was so hesitant to take photos, I wanted to enjoy the party but she coaxed us outside and now we have the best photos and we're so so happy with the results! We even got to enjoy cocktail hour for a little bit. During the actual reception they were like flies on the wall, I barely noticed them as they took a bunch of wonderful candid photos.
Janelle and her team are incredibly professional, give STUNNING results, and were absolutely a solid investment in our wedding. I would 100% book them again if I had to do it all over again, I also recommend her to all of my friends getting engaged.
My husband and I cannot say enough great things about Janelle Brooke and our photographer, Beth! They are incredibly organized, attentive to detail, and really helped guide us through the whole process from start to finish. Beth is amazingly talented and created such a comfortable, easy environment from the get-go (coming from two camera shy people!) and they helped plan some of our favorite moments from the day including our first look. The photos are stunning and we are obsessed with our beautiful album which they helped us put together with a number of 1:1 walk-throughs and editing sessions to make sure the final product was perfect for us. Thank you Janelle and Beth!!
I don't have enough good things to say about Janelle. I set up time with her as my cousins used her for their wedding, and just even with a phone call I was blown away!
the planning process was seamless as her and her team are so on top of it and always available to talk.
our engagement photos were stunning and such a fun day. I haven't even seen wedding photos yet but I know they will be just as magical.
she is the most calming presence ever for the morning of your wedding. when she arrived to our hotel she just took over and was in control of everything. we planned to do all our photos before the ceremony, however I went down with a migraine and nausea about an hour before. Janelle reworked our schedule on the fly and we were able to finish everything during dinner no problem.
make the investment into a photographer you can trust and book her!!
I initially set up an appointment to meet with Janelle after seeing some gorgeous wedding photos on her instagram account and website. I loved her photography style and knew she would capture my wedding day beautifully. Meeting with Janelle in person only reaffirmed that she would be the perfect person to photograph our special day. She immediately puts you at ease, is such a sweet and warm person, is genuinely interested in getting to know you, and by your wedding day, she’s like a friend. Before our actual wedding, Janelle photographed our engagement shoot in NYC where my husband and I met and my bridal shower. The photos from these two events exceeded our expectations; it was so hard to pick which ones to frame! Before our wedding, Janelle worked with us on the day of timeline for photos and what our “must have” photos were, as well as some of our favorites spots on the venue’s property. She made sure to capture all of the moments we envisioned but also surprised us with so many impromptu photographs, which are some of our most cherished. We are so lucky that we found Janelle to capture these special moments. She was our absolute favorite vendor we used for our wedding and the quality of the work that she provides is second to none. Our wedding venue even asked to use some photos Janelle took at our wedding for their website and wedding brochure because she is so talented! We also worked with Janelle on a beautiful gallery wall for our home. Book Janelle; you will not be disappointed and you’ll have such beautiful photos of your special day to look back on for years to come.
Unfortunately due to COVID-19 my fiancé and I had to reschedule our wedding. Janelle Brooke Photography has been so helpful and accommodating during this time. They have been so patient in helping us reschedule and the process has been so easy. Since we are getting close to our wedding date again they have been on top of our new timeline and making sure we have a seamless wedding day. We love working with the JBP team!!!
My fiance and I have been working with Janelle since 2019 when we were planning our pre-COVID wedding in May of 2020. Janelle and her team have been our wayfinders in this difficult time and her thoughtful touches and gifts over the last year have really shown us why we choose Janelle. She is so warm, welcoming and makes us feel so comfortable while shooting. We immediately loved her and felt that she treats her clients like friends. She and her team have been so easy to reschedule with for our postponement (the most stressful part of our whole planning process was finding a date that works for everyone and Janelle and her team were so patient and quickly responsive). I have recommended her to several friends not only for her professionalism, quality work and fair prices but mostly for the way she went above and beyond to remember our special day when it passed and kept in touch throughout the year. You will not be disappointed with Janelle.
Due to COVID my husband and I were unable to have our originally scheduled wedding in October of 2020. We decided to marry in a small ceremony and have the reception of our dreams in October of 2021. Rescheduling with Janelle and her team was so easy! Additionally throughout all of COVID Janelle and her team have been so conscientious and kind. At the start of COVID, the team sent handwritten notes and bracelets. We've also received frames and chocolate. These gifts are small examples of Janelle's thoughtfulness. Initially, when we were meeting with photographers Janelle stood out because of her kindness. She listened to all of my concerns. She emphasized with my worries and made me feel at ease. My husband and I always discuss how lucky we are to be working with Janelle, and COVID has only emphasized that feeling.
Due to COVID my husband and I were unable to have the wedding of our dreams. While we had hoped to postpone our reception, what we weren’t willing to postpone was our marriage. After 8 years together it was important for us to get married on July 25, 2020 no matter what! After sharing this news with Janelle she was eager and excited to be there for us on our special day! Her calming and upbeat presence really made the day go smoothly and the pictures were effortless. Through her lens, she turned my parents backyard into a wedding venue!
Through out the day, Janelle encouraged us to take many pictures, with not only us, but our family members as well. She wanted us to feel that although we weren’t having our dream wedding, we still deserved our dream pictures, and she delivered!
Shortly after our wedding, to our surprise, we were blessed with the news that we had a baby on the way! Because of the news, we decided to cancel our reception for 2021 as we embark on a new chapter in our lives. We are SO grateful that Janelle was able to capture our intimate and special wedding day because what we didn’t know then was that we wouldn’t have the chance to relive it!
We cannot thank Janelle enough for not only being an amazing photographer, but for being a supportive, warm and caring part of our team!
Janelle was an absolute pleasure to work with, especially during a pandemic. She was always so patient and communicated with us about everything. She was so positive throughout the entire pandemic, including our own wedding day when cases were high. Janelle and our secondary photographer, Andrew, were incredible!! People cannot get over our pictures. We get so many compliments on our detail pictures as well. Our photos are absolutely gorgeous! We cannot wait to continue with Janelle as we make our wedding album and have her photograph future children as well!
I knew Janelle from a friend's wedding that she photographed many years prior. I always remembered being amazed by her calm demeanor, professionalism, creativity, and flat-out stunning, simply beautiful and unique images. I always hoped that one day I could hire her too when I got married. Lucky for us, she happened to be available when we booked our wedding on short notice in March of 2019. Janelle and her entire team are the best. She really ran the whole day for us it seemed, we just followed her lead and went with the flow and got everything in according to schedule. She was able to capture some truly beautiful moments that we will treasure forever. We also used a videographer she suggested, and he was fantastic as well. Aside from the big day, we also were able to squeeze in an engagement/baby announcement shoot at her recommendation before the wedding. We are so glad we did, it helped get us comfortable in front of the camera and we got some great shots. We also will use her services for all the great follow up items, like albums and assistance with displaying the photos in our home in a unique and creative way. Janelle and her team are true artists, designers, and just all-around lovely people. They will be our forever photographers through all of life's big moments ahead. Thank you JBP Team!
I met Janelle at a wedding showcase and after one conversation and look at her work I knew she had to be our wedding photographer. BEST. DECISION. EVER. My fiancé (now husband) and I grew so close to her and had so much fun meeting with her and having our engagement shoot! By the time of our wedding we considered her a friend! Janelle and her team were AWESOME on our wedding day, somehow everywhere at once yet very always so calm and cheery. When Janelle showed my husband and I a sneak preview of the shots she took we just started crying. They are truly art. Now we just cannot stop looking at our wedding pictures we still can’t believe they’re real and ours!! I can not recommend Janelle Brooke Photography enough and I am so looking forward to working with them again. AMAZING people who do AMAZING work!
We’re not normally photogenic, so I originally planned to do the bare minimum for our wedding. Then we met Janelle and our plans changed. Her style of photography is beautiful and her attention to detail blew me away. I tend to be stiff in photos and I didn’t want a ton of posed photos and she was able to capture an ton of relaxed and natural shots.
We used Janelle for both our engagement photos and our wedding photos. On both occasions she was very professional and gave us the guidance when necessary. Her business is also incredibly well organized and professional. Sometimes, it seems like she’s more on top of things than we are, which is impressive given that I’ve been planning my wedding for years.
My husband and I were over the moon with the level of professionalism we received from Janelle and her team. I met Janelle years ago as the photographer at my best friend’s wedding. After meeting her and seeing their wedding pictures I knew that when I got married one day – there would be no question as to who we would use to capture our wedding day. Janelle and her team are amongst the most talented in the industry and are a true pleasure to work with! I never had to chase or question anything with Janelle and her team. They are extremely organized, were always touching base with me and letting me know what they needed from me as well as what was going on behind the scenes on their end. Janelle in particular is not only extremely nice and easy to talk to but she is also a beyond talented photographer and truly knows exactly what to do to keep you organized and calm on your wedding day. Her entire team was truly excellent and made our entire wedding day seamless. We are obsessed with the photos and cannot wait to make a wedding album. We would recommend Janelle Brooke Photography without hesitation – she is amazing and so is her entire team, I am so happy I met her and was able to have her on our special day.
Contracting with Janelle Brooke Photography was quite possibly one of the best decisions my husband and I made when it comes to our wedding. Aside from their gorgeous photos, it was really their professionalism, warmth, and welcoming demeanor that sold us. We were fortunate enough to have Terrie as our main photographer and what a blessing that was! She is unbelievable. From the first time we met at our engagement shoot we just felt an instant connection to her. She is all about making you comfortable in front of the camera and proving you with the perfect amount of direction. She also gives you a sense of confidence as she photographs you, making you feel like you’re a superstar.
Leading up to the wedding she was there for anything and everything. During our call outlining our timeline and which pictures we’d be taking she spent so much time just making sure EVERYTHING was covered. Going into the wedding and knowing how spot on Terrie was just made our lives much easier.
Just a bit of background, two days before the wedding the tent we were getting married in got destroyed due to the weather and needless to say we had to rethink our entire vision and move inside. Somewhat of a letdown, having planned for something so specific for so long, Terrie walked in the morning of the wedding all smiles, with such positive energy and handed my a gift to makeup for the changes we were dealing with. Inside was a beautiful local bottle of Woelffer Estate wine and some baked treats from a fabulous local bakery.
Additionally we had the pleasure of having Molly as our second photographer, together she and Terrie were there to make our day as seamless and stress free as possible and they certainly did!
Hands down Janelle Brooke Photography is a must!
Where to even begin....We first met Terrie at a bridal showcase at the Bourne Mansion, where we got married in October of 2018. We had a great conversation with her then, and left knowing we wanted to set up an appointment to really talk about the wedding in more detail. We had a great long meeting with Terrie to talk about our wedding and we just knew she was the one we wanted to be with us on one of the most special days of our lives. We booked JBP on the spot! Since the day we booked them we had never felt more sure about any decision we had made throughout the whole wedding planning process. My husband and I just adore Terrie and the whole JBP team. From the minute we met Terrie we could just feel her excitedness about our wedding, she was so warm, genuine, caring, friendly and just all around amazing!! It’s hard to put into words how she made us feel, but she really made us feel like our wedding was so special to her and that she would be honored to be apart of the day. Looking back on it, we couldn’t have imagined anyone else with us during that day! Erica in the office always responded to my emails so quickly, which was always so appreciated when planning a wedding and having a million questions all the time. Terrie, was always available to chat and checked in on us throughout the year before we got married constantly. She even reached out the day before our wedding to let us know how excited she was and to see if we needed anything. Mary and Beth who were assisting Terrie the day of the wedding were rockstars too! What you get from the JBP is priceless in our opinion. You don’t just get a photographer for your wedding day, you get a person and a company you hope to work with forever....babies, family portraits you name it JBP will be there to witness and capture all those memorable moments! Terrie and JBP were never just a vendor for us, they always felt more like family and we love them! We already saw a few of our wedding photos and we were blown away by how amazing they already had looked, and we cannot wait to see more! If you have any reservations about booking Terrie and JBP stop right now, you will not regret hiring them. I know if we could give them 100 stars we would!!
Over the years our family has attended three cousin's wedding that were photographed by JBP. I would joke around at the weddings that if and when my own daughter were to be married, they would be the first ones we called. We loved their pictures. Simple gorgeous. The day came and we quickly hired JBP. Terrie was our main photographer and she did an unbelievable job!!!! She made the bride and groom feel comfortable from the first day they met her through the engagement shoot and finally the wedding day. The photos are gorgeous!!!! Terrie is a very warm, professional, loving and talented artist. She makes you feel part of her family. Also, their response time is so quick. Erica would answer all of our questions (like recommending other types of vendors to sending additional pictures of venues we were considering) the same day we made a request. Terrie even made adjustments to a picture in record time for the New York Times announcements. We absolutely loved working with them and will sadly miss them!!! --- There is however always the next wedding!!!
After one look at Janelle's photos, I knew I needed to hire her for my wedding. Janelle and her whole team (Erica, Terri, Beth, and others) were all incredible to work with. From our engagement photo shoot, to my bridal shower, to our rehearsal dinner, and then our wedding, and all the communications in between - Janelle and her team were kind, fun, positive, professional, and creative. Janelle truly takes the time to learn about you and your partner as a couple and makes sure to 100% work around you and your partner's unique style and personalities. She made every process seamless and the photos from every one of our events are the best of the best. My family and I went home on Sunday after all the wedding festivities and just stared at the few sneak peak photos we had. I cannot wait to work with Janelle again when it comes time for my and my husband's newborn baby photos...a few years down the road ;)
Call Janelle Brooke Photography RIGHT NOW. Don't even think twice. From our very first contact, Janelle herself and her entire staff are just lovely, talented, professionals. Janelle made such an effort to get to know my then-fiance and I, so she could be sure her art captured us on our wedding day. We shot our engagement photos with her as well and she made us feel so comfortable and honestly, sexy, that our real relationship could be felt through her pictures. You can tell she really loves her craft- she helped us sort through options for our engagement shoot and she spent so much careful time getting exactly what she knew we would love. Leading up to and during our wedding ceremony and reception, Janelle and her team (Fernando and Jenna) were so creative and efficient at choosing such beautiful backdrops for our photos. I barely knew they were there throughout the ceremony and reception- they were so quiet and respectful of us and our guests. We just received our "sneak peek" photos and I can't wait to see the rest. They are amazing!! Thank you, JBP team :) :) :)
From the moment we met with Janelle we looked no further...Janelle and her team are the absolute best!!! Not only are they the best photographers, but they treat you so wonderful and make you feel so comfortable around them. Janelle and her team listen to you and make all your photo dreams come to life. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Janelle Brooke Photography, we will continue using her for all of my photography needs in the future and if we could give them 100000 stars we would.
Words can’t express how incredibly wonderful Janelle and the JBP team are. We wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to be with us on our wedding day. Janelle is such kind, caring and talented photographer and made us feel so special on our wedding day. Mary and Teresa were also so down to earth and attentive. They got all the pictures we wanted and more. We have only seen a sneak peak and we are just in awe by how they captured our personalities and who we are as a couple. Everyone is raving about the pictures and we all can’t wait to see more. They are very professional, easy to work with and really cared about getting to know us and making us happy. I feel lucky to have met Janelle and her team and I'm grateful for their hard work!
Booking our photographer was one of the most important details of our wedding. One of the main reasons we booked Janelle Brooke Photographer was because of their natural photos. I loved how their photos always captured details and natural moments. Right from the start we were excited to work with Janelle and Terrie. Janelle took our engagement session and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Our wedding day we had Janelle and Terrie capturing our special day. They were both professional and fun to work with. They captured the smallest details and big moments. We look forward to having them capture future big moments in our lives.
I got married almost 2 years ago in 2016 and I still drool over my wedding photos!! I am just always so amazed at how Janelle & team captured the very essence of our relationship! They are the sweetest people who became close friends throughout the entire process! They are the ultimate professionals and help you throughout the entire crazy process! Take it from a bride from 2 years ago, you will cherish this for the rest of your life so you should get the absolute best photos possible- and that is with JBP! They were a calming presence on the day of and I can honestly say that I just love them so much! JPB did my boudoir shoot, engagement session and wedding day. I can honestly say that I cannot wait to have kids and you BETTER believe I will be using JBP for my maternity & newborn shoot! They are an industry best and worth absolutely every penny!!!!! Trust me. Book. Them.
It was such a joy working with Janelle, Terrie and the rest of the JBP team for our August 2017 wedding. I could not recommend them more highly! From our first meeting with Janelle, there was an instant connection-- she has a magnetic, warm personality, and you can rest assured that she and her company are all they represent themselves to be (and more!). On the administrative side, Janelle and JBP's office manager, Erica, were delightful and responsive throughout the planning process. On the day of, it felt like we had known Janelle and her business partner, Terrie, forever, and they truly went above and beyond to document our day. When our photo preview arrived, I literally cried with happiness, and I was positively over the moon once our full photo suite was available. From posed family photos to candid shots, I was blown away by how many beautiful moments that the JBP team caught on film. Janelle and Terrie captured our wedding day flawlessly, and we will truly treasure these images forever. If you're still looking for your wedding photographer, look no further. You've found them. :)
The absolute best! Janelle and her team are so talented and a dream to work with. From our proposal all the way to creating our wedding album, they were so responsive and all of our pictures are breathtaking. On our wedding day they kept us at ease and captured the best day of our lives perfectly! We could not be happier with their work and cannot wait to continue to use them as our family grows!
I can’t say enough about the quality of service as well as the quality of work of the entire Janelle Brooke team!!! From start to finish, they are hands down the best choice we could have made! Terrie made us feel at ease from the minute we met and on a day that can be quite hectic, she made us feel so calm and it shows in all of our pictures. We’ve been married over a year and our family and friends still have our thank you card because they love the pictures so much. Truly a class act team that goes above and beyond to make your day and photos perfect!
I am working with Terrie for my upcoming wedding and have had an amazing experience. She is so easy to work with, and is a sweet and relatable person who you want to spend time with, which makes the process so much more comfortable and easy going. We did our engagement shoot in NYC a few months ago and had a great day with her! She scouted locations in advance, was super organized and really captured who we are. The photos are just gorgeous! She was all for heading to a few different locations and helped us relax and loosen up a little as we got comfortable in front of the camera. It was a great way to practice for the big day!
Terrie also shot my best friend's wedding and seeing her in action with the whole bridal party, I knew immediately that we would want to work with her too. My fiancé was so impressed with the pictures from my friend's wedding, and even more so once he got in front of the camera with her!
The wedding planning process can be stressful and the whole team and Janelle Brooke has made sure it is as easy and seamless as possible. Erica has been a huge help, always sending payment reminders and super responsive over email. If you hire Janelle Brooke and you get the chance to work with Janelle or Terrie, you will get way more than just a photographer. They play an active role in the timeline of your special day and provide rich counsel from their many years in the business. I have bounced many ideas off of Terrie and she really goes above and beyond to make sure I'm comfortable with all the little details. I couldn't ask for a better partner as we prepare for our wedding day in just a few weeks!
Janelle Brooke and her associates were amazing from the moment we contacted them to capture our wedding through present day as we select photos for our albums. They are professional, compassionate, creative and intuitive. They weren't just our photographers, they became friends and we don't know what we would have done without their guidance though this entire process. From engagement photos to helping us time our day, to designing our Thank yous, they are a huge part of every step of our celebration. We are so happy we were able to work with them and look forward to having Janelle and gang capture future special moments in our lives.
