About this vendor
Love-soaked photographs for the power of art and history. I'm really into telling love stories. When people allow me to tell theirs I feel this immense gratitude for opening the door for me, for a moment, to see what makes their relationship ignite.

I don’t even know what to say. Not only is Janelle amazing at what she does but she’s also an incredible person. She is so fun and lighthearted and made everyone feel comfortable. I am very picky with photography and wanted someone who wasn’t going to just take standing portraits of us the whole day. She is so talented and captures some amazing moments. She was extremely professional and responsive and I got all my photos in less than a month! I also had specific requests and she made sure I got everything I wanted. I would highly suggest booking 2 photographers because this really elevates the whole experience. 10/10 would recommend from a very happy bride!
Janelle is the absolute best! When we first met her, she made us feel like we have been friends forever. Her compassion and dedication to her craft is unmatched. My wife and I are so happy we chose Janelle to be our photographer. She made our guests feel welcomed and comfortable throughout the entire event. We got our finished photos within days after our wedding and they're amazing! If you're looking for a photographer for your wedding, special event, etc, Janelle should be number one on your list! She made our day so fun and special. We cant thank her enough!
Janelle and Alicia are absolutely the best. They made sure we got all the photos we wanted as well as suggesting new ones. They arrived early and stayed late and were extremely professional. They were a pleasure to work with and we can’t wait to see the photos!
Janelle is amazing! From the first phone call she made us feel like we were her only client and would do anything to make our day perfect. She is so enthusiastic and so kind and meshed with who we are so well. I work in video so I wanted to find someone who would live up to my standards and I was beyond impressed by her skill and creativity. She was very patient and all for pushing boundaries for different shots I wanted. After our engagement shoot she said she felt me and my now husband shared one soul. That feeling was absolutely captures in the photos she took of us. She took the time to understand who we are so well that by the time our wedding came we felt she was like family. Getting married during COVID-19 our plans were flipped upside down and constantly changing, and Janelle was so understanding and accommodating. She was so fun to have around on our wedding day and even helped hide me from my guests as we were walking back from the first look. I couldn’t have imagined our day without her!
Janelle did an amazing job on our wedding and engagement photos!! She has been one of our favorite vendors. She made my new husband and I comfortable throughout the entire process!! She answered all of our questions and was super kind and friendly. Throughout the planning process, I reached out to her a few times and she was always very helpful with great suggestions. She traveled to do our engagement pictures where we wanted them. She even took pictures in the rain with a smile and with enthusiasm! We received a beautiful flash drive with all the pictures for our use. We were allowed to post them and order prints. For our wedding photos, she worked with my crazy list of pictures and ensured we had each picture, along with her assistant Elisha. She kept the wedding day running smoothly and according to our timeline, which was nothing short of amazing. She posted a teaser photo the next day and had a beautiful slideshow and blog post for us within a week!! Her work is truly incredible and beautiful. I love when she took photos of us and said, "Yes!" It made us feel so relaxed and thus helped the photos come out even better! She really knew what she was doing in terms of lighting and setting up a great shot. Guests of the wedding and our bridal party were all commenting on what a wonderful photographer she is. We couldn't be any more happy with her work. She is a true artist.
It's hard for us to put into words how happy we are that Janelle was part of our wedding day. Janelle was the first person we booked, and we NEVER worried if we made the wrong decision. On top of her absolutely gorgeous work that we fell in love with, we were able to see her business grow day by day with a curated Instagram feed, website and logo updates, and a Kleinfeld deal to name a few. She is constantly thinking of ways to improve her customer's experience. For example, she purchased a mirrorless camera system which allows her to take photos without hearing the shutter click! This small but important detail allowed us to fully enjoy every moment of our wedding day without being distracted. Every single person who sees our wedding photos remarks that our incredibly talented and artistic photographer was able to capture the raw emotion of our day, which is all we ever wanted. Beyond that, she is an amazingly warm person with beautiful talent and we feel like we've known her forever. We are so lucky Janelle was the photographer we chose to spend our wedding day with!

Hiring Janelle as our wedding photographer was one of the easiest and best decisions we made in the entire wedding-planning process. We planned our Lake George, NY wedding from Massachusetts, so I was not all that familiar with the upstate NY area or its vendors, but from our initial e-mail correspondence, I could tell that Janelle was not only extremely talented as a photographer (as evidenced on her blog and online presence!) but was a genuinely upbeat, effervescent, and fun person to interact with and be around. I cannot adequately describe how valuable those qualities were throughout the process. When we had our engagement shoot with her back in May, she put us completely at ease - it felt like we'd known her forever. Months later, at our wedding in September, she captured so many thoughtful, fantastic details of our wedding day, and we are so thrilled with the results. We'll be forever grateful for Janelle and her photos. Do yourself (and your everlasting memories!) a favor and work with Janelle!
Our experience with Janelle was so amazing. I contacted her about four months before I proposed to see if she would be able to do a surprise engagement shoot and capture my now-fiancee's reaction to the proposal. Janelle loved the idea, and was so excited to set everything up. She captured the moment it happened, and then we had an impromptu engagement photo shoot right there!
Janelle's services are absolutely worth every penny, and we couldn't have been more ecstatic to have her as our photographer!
LOVED Janelle. She went above and beyond for every single part of the wedding planning process and the day of. Our photos are AMAZING, and behind-the-scenes, she is an amazing person to get to know as well. Thank you so much for everything, Janelle!
I don’t think there are enough words to describe how wonderful Janelle is. It was an honor for us to have her as our photographer. As a person, you can’t help but be drawn to her personality, she instantly makes you feel like you have been best friends for a lifetime. She is warm, kind and her passion for her craft is inspiring. Her talent is amazing. Her pictures capture so many feelings, you can tell she loves what she does. Janelle was one of the first vendors we booked nearly 18 months before our wedding. We loved every minute we got to spend with her and are happy to say we have made a new friend. Thank you for all you did for us, we couldn’t have been happier with the finished products.
My husband hates to have his picture taken and was nervous about the wedding day because of all the pictures that would be taken. Janelle (and Elisha, her second shooter) made both of us feel so at ease that it immediately became a non-issue. Janelle had so many unique ideas, but was also open to our requests. When we saw our photos, we were awestruck. They came absolutely beautifully and Janelles creative touch was exactly what we were looking for in our photographer. As a bonus, I was so anxious to see the pictures after the wedding and Janelle, again, did not disappoint at all. We were pleasantly surprised with a couple preview shots days after the wedding and then our beautiful slideshow less than 2 weeks later. Everything about working with Janelle was a dream come true!
Janelle and Adam were a joy to work with. They welcomed any ideas we had for photographs, were so patient, and were two of the nicest people. The photographs exceeded our expectations. I look forward to working with them again in the future.
From the moment we stepped in front of Janelle's lens during our engagement shoot to a year later at our wedding, she made us feel comfortable and at ease. She captured the most precious moments of our special day in a way I couldn't have imagined.
Some of our most favorite pictures are of family members enjoying themselves or looking their best all dressed up. Janelle has a way of giving direction so you get all the shots you had discussed without being pushy or taking you away from the reception. We would recommend Janelle Rodriguez Photography to anyone looking for a professional, creative and fun photographer who can slip into the background or be a smiling face on the dance floor.
Janelle is one of a kind! She is one of the most professional, kind, calm, and organized people we have ever had the pleasure of working with. She was on time, professionally dressed, kind to both my friends and family, and put my mind at ease. By the end of the night, all of our guests wanted Janelle to be partying with us. Yet, no matter how hard they tried, Janelle resisted the urge and kept her professional manner. Her pictures came out beautiful and she was able to get them to us in a very reasonable amount of time. My friend loved her work so much that's she also had her shoot her wedding. Don't miss the opportunity to work with this amazing woman!
