Jen Pecka was amazing and she did both our engagement and wedding photos! She was very professional, great communicator, and of course the photos were spectacular!
A Year Later and an Everlasting Impact
This review is long overdue—not because I don’t have amazing things to say about Jen, but because I’ve struggled to put the right words together. Now, even a year after our wedding, I hope sharing our experience gives you even more insight into just how incredible Jen’s work truly is and shows you why you should absolutely choose to work with her!
I can’t emphasize enough how wonderful it was to have Jen as our wedding photographer. From the moment we met her for a consultation we knew we were in great hands. I generally don’t enjoy being in front of a camera but with Jen it felt effortless. From our engagement shoot, it became so abundantly clear that Jen has incredible skill and I was fully confident that she was going to deliver on all of our shoots. Her energy is calming, supportive, and attentive.
The photos are beyond stunning. Every time we look at them, it’s like we’re right back in those moments, reliving the day all over again. And it’s not just us—everyone who’s seen the pictures has said the same thing. The photos are true to life, natural, light and airy. Jen has an incredible talent for capturing all the little details and genuine emotions, and it really shines through in every shot. You can truly see the love and magic in our eyes, and each photo is as breathtaking as the next.
We definitely prioritized photography for our wedding, knowing it would be the primary way for us to remember the day and share with loved ones. It was such a relief to know we could trust Jen to capture every magical moment while we simply enjoyed and immersed ourselves in the day. How she manages to capture everything while also blending into the scene is surely a form of sorcery.
Honestly, if you’re looking for a photographer who is not only insanely talented but also a joy to have around on your big day, Jen is the one. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. Choosing Jen was one of the best decisions we made, and we’re so grateful to have these precious photos that will last a lifetime.
Being her daughter I have to say that my mom is one of the most talented people I have ever met. Almost 16 years of my life has been complete with her in it and I couldn't thank her enough for all that she's done. She bends over backwards and works so hard and I couldn't be more proud. The pictures she takes are amazing, and being at some of her photo shoots I can definitely confirm that she's the most warm and welcoming person I've ever had in my life. Not only is she just a photographer, but she's a great mom, a great nurse, and a great person. She knows how to make people comfortable when they're in front of the camera, and always gets the right shot no matter what. Not only is she great with her clients but she's great with her skills in photography as well. Owning more than one business is hard, and she puts in all the effort to make things work. I love you mom, and I couldn't be more proud. <3
-your daughter :)
Any questions?
We are absolutely thrilled with the exceptional work of Jen Pecka as both our engagement photo and wedding photographer. From the moment we met Jen, her passion for photography and dedication to her craft were evident, and we knew we were in good hands.
Jen's creativity and attention to detail truly shine through in her photographs. Every shot feels thoughtfully composed, telling a story and evoking emotions that transport us back to that magical day. Her ability to capture candid moments is remarkable; she truly has a gift for encapsulating genuine joy and love.
Not only is Jen immensely talented behind the lens, but she is also an absolute pleasure to work with. She made us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire process, from the engagement session to the big day itself. Her calm demeanor and positive energy were a welcome presence amidst the whirlwind of wedding preparations.
We are beyond thrilled with the stunning photographs Jen captured, which we will cherish for a lifetime. Choosing Jen Pecka as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a talented, personable, and reliable photographer for their special day.
Thank you, Jen, for beautifully documenting the beginning of our forever!
No matter how big or small your wedding is, Jen will treat your day no different. The pictures she captured of my daughter's wedding were beautiful and ones I wouldn't have had unless Jen was there as our photographer. Jen sees the possibility of the surroundings of your event and really makes the end result worth the wait. On a cold winter, December day when all the outside foliage is brown and dry Jen sees the beauty of it and uses it as a perfect backdrop for your photos. My daughter's photos really turned out magical. I was amazed at how the background scenery actually was perfect for the photos. The way Jen captured my daughter and son-in-law against the dry winter foliage-it makes them shine in the photos. The photos are absolutely beautiful. Jen Pecka Photography takes the time to make your day literally unforgettable. We highly recommend her. Thank you Jen for making our daughter's wedding day a priority and for showing in your pictures how happy she was that day!
We worked with Jen for our engagement photos and micro-wedding in Owego, NY in autumn 2023. Jen was super flexible with how we used the photo package - we chose to use our engagement session to get more wedding photos of the two of us.
It was super easy to work with Jen - she was punctual (and arrived early for the ceremony), was prepared with extra cameras, timely with the photo delivery, and got us and our guests out of their shells. We gave her some ideas for fun photos and she did a great job making the shots look great. We love all of the photos she delivered - honestly she went above and beyond!
Would definitely recommend Jen if you are having a wedding in update NY!
We worked with Jen for our engagement and wedding photos. She did an excellent job! Very easy to work with, personable. She had a lot of great ideas and open to our ideas and suggestions. The posed photos are beautiful but the candids from the wedding day of my family are some of my favorite. She captured some amazing moments, love, and laughs in a heartwarming way. I would definitely recommend her.
Everyone should hire Jen as their wedding photographer! We love all the photos we got, we love the amount of photos we got back, and we absolutely loved working with her. She was so nice and able to make everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera (quite a feat for us and our family!) and this allowed her to capture so many real moments during the day as opposed to everything feeling posed. We truly have no complaints about the process or photos which from talking to friends almost never happens. We asked her so many questions and had some weather related scheduling issues with our engagement shoot and she was always so friendly and accommodating through it all. We particularly liked how committed she is to making sure a wedding she books is a priority, we were assured that there is always a second photographer included on the day as well as back-up photographers available if something were to happen. No other photographer we inquired with had this level of back-up planning and it was nice to not have to worry about that especially with COVID restrictions. We would recommend Jen to anyone looking for a photographer and definitely plan on hiring her for any future photography we do!
I would highly recommend Jen Pecka Photography! Jen is thorough and knows exactly what she is doing. She captured every moment of our special day, moments that I missed. Our portraits and photos of the ceremony are gorgeous. The emotion that she captured will allow us to relive our Wedding day forever. Working with Jen was one of our best wedding day decisions!
Jen was a star- friendly, adventurous, and so accommodating. We had a very small backyard wedding in the Thousand Islands and she perfectly captured the spirit of our day- her photography style especially suited the outdoor venue and she did a great job dealing with the gale-force winds coming in off the river! We love our photos and would highly recommend her.
We asked Jenn to cover our wedding- invite shoot- ceremony, candids, all the fun stuff, and she hit it out of the park!! We could not have asked for a more fun & creative photographer to capture those ‘special moments’ from our wedding day. We didn’t want ‘the usual’ or the ‘canned photos’ and we knew instantly, with our wedding invite shoot that Jenn was willing to go the extra mile- to skate down a slippery ice slope or withstand the gale force wind of a full on ‘white out’ snow squall- if necessary- to get the perfect photos. She makes the whole experience super fun and the results are A-MAZ-ING!! Thank you Jenn! We love the memories you have created for us!
Jen was great to work with! She captured so many moments and emotion in her photos from the entire day - from getting ready through the ceremony and reception. Looking through the the photos brought so much of that day back to life. Her style is wonderful - so light and airy, while perfectly capturing all the beautiful colors. We would most definitely recommend her to anyone!
Booking Jen Pecka Photography for our wedding was one of the easiest and definitely one of the best decisions we made for our January wedding! From the moment we met, Jen made us feel super comfortable and confident in front of her camera. She shot both our engagement session as well as our big day and all of the photos came out absolutely GORGEOUS!!! She captured every single detail of our wedding beautifully. As we looked through our wedding photos for the first time, we were able to relive the best day of our lives. Jen not only captures special moments, but the genuine emotions of those being photographed. All of our photos are STUNNING, I am having a very difficult time choosing favorites to print and hang in our home. Trust Jen Pecka Photography to capture your wedding day, you will not regret it!
Having a photographer was very important to us. While every vendor plays a role in a couple’s special day, a photographer helps capture moments that are cherished for years to come. Having the right photographer that fit our style was also very important; meaning nothing over edited or posed. As soon as we discovered Jen, we knew we did not need to look any farther. Jen’s photos are simple and natural and truly depict the love and beauty between a couple. We had a lot of detail to our wedding, and Jen managed to capture ALL OF IT! Although I would not mind having Jen join in on the dance floor, you would never know she was there…she is that good! Jen has a very calming and down to earth personality which makes it very easy to work with. Special shout out to Kelsey, Jen’s assistance. She too worked so well alongside Jen to capture our special day. We would highly recommend Jen Pecka Photography to capture your wedding day. Samantha & Nicholas Tetor
Jen was fantastic! She drove 2 hours, both ways, TWICE, and was so accommodating when we had to postpone our wedding date because of COVID 🙃 she managed to capture all of the most beautiful parts of our day and I would 1000000% recommend her for anyone looking for an event photographer. Thank you so much Jen ❤️😊
Jen is a 5+ star photographer. She is easy to work, professional and went the extra effort for us (including a lot of boat dock time with her expensive photographer equipment). I am in love with the pictures she took and cannot recommend her enough!
Where to start?! - I can’t even come up with the words to describe the kind of photographer that Jen is. She is absolutely amazing and most important - REAL. She made our wedding day fun, from the time I was getting ready with my girls to the end of the night at the reception. She is truly talented and knows every moment to capture during the entire, long beautiful day that was our wedding. She’s approachable, funny, and makes you super comfortable while getting photographed, and doesn’t let anything or anybody get in the way of you getting those must-have shots. Not to mention her assistant, who was super sweet and helpful while gathering people for our group photos after reception. Jen took stunning photos that I can not wait to hang all over my home for the years to come. If you’re thinking about contacting her, DO IT! I spent hours searching for a photographer for my wedding and after looking at Jen’s website and having one conversation with her, I knew I wanted her at our wedding. So grateful. Thanks so much Jen!!! XO
Jen was an absolutely amazing photographer! We originally booked her for August 2020 wedding and when we had to reschedule due to the pandemic she was incredibly accommodating. We loved being able to meet her beforehand for the complimentary engagement shoot and on the day-of she was the perfect mix of assertive enough to get the shots she needed without being too pushy or forcing people into awkward staged shots, and her action shots were incredible! We cannot recommend her highly enough!
Jen is so friendly, inviting, and professional! We had a tiny wedding and she captured so many lovely moments. I’m pretty awkward during phot shoots, so it meant a lot to me that she took the time to help me feel comfortable. She’s a delight! And our pictures are awesome!
If I had to say one thing and one thing only, it would be that Jen is incredible. Fortunately, I can say more than that, but that encompasses everything I want to say. Jen photographed the day my husband proposed to me, she photographed our engagement pictures, and she photographed our wedding. Truly, I wish there were more wedding-related events going on that she could photograph more for us because she is AMAZING. She made us feel comfortable from day one. She is punctual, she offers ideas of beautiful places to shoot, she helps “prop you” if you need it, but most of all, she listens to what you want or what you’re vision is, and she goes above and beyond to make it happen. She’s easily reached, quick to respond, and is so fun to talk to. On my wedding day she was one of the people calming me down and telling me it’ll all be okay. I really, really cannot recommend Jen enough. Her work is perfect. Her editing is perfect. She’s perfect. Highly recommend! We LOVE her!
After seeing Jen's work, I was so excited to find out that she was available for our wedding date. She lived up and beyond any expectations! Jen was very professional, yet fun to work with! She made me and my (now) husband very comfortable and got the most wonderful natural & candid photos for our engagement photos and wedding photos! I would recommend her to anyone!
Jen was great to work with. She worked really hard to accommodate us during both our engagement and wedding photo sessions (which were both very windy days). She was very professional and responded quickly whenever we had questions or concerns. She was very patient with our 6 and 8 year olds, who kept wanting to look at the pictures she was taking. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer for their next event.
Jen was so professional, responsive, flexible, and easy to work with. You can tell that she really loves what she does. Her style appealed to me mostly because it was very natural but still elegant at the same time. I feel like she really captured the vibe I was going for at my wedding which was a very relaxed, outdoorsy, family event, that was so full of love. I actually hate getting my photo taken, but she made it a fun experience and worked with my awkwardness (and a super busy toddler) to capture some truly beautiful moments. I would highly recommend her to anyone, especially those with outdoor weddings!
Jen was absolutely amazing on our wedding day! She rallied a group of rowdy groomsmen and sassy bridesmaids in the most amazing way possible. We got so lucky with a beautiful day in October and Jen did an awesome job working with the sun (I'm sure it was not easy). Our pictures came out incredible and I could not be happier! She made us feel super comfortable and I just can't get over how stunning our pics are. Thank you so much Jen for capturing our special day <3
Jen is AMAZING! She did both our engagement photos and wedding photos and they're amazing! We had so many great engagement photos and we already have a handful of great wedding photos. I cannot wait to see the rest! She and her assistant Brittany captured our wedding on 9/21/19 in Windham, NY and they went above and beyond to get the perfect shots including kicking down a tree and taking a chair lift and facing some fears! She's a rock star photographer and she worked so well with our other vendors - if you need a photographer in the area use Jen! <3
Jen did both our engagement and wedding photos last year and they were incredible!! Jen was easy to work with and made us feel very at ease while taking pictures. From hiking up Buttermilk Falls for our engagement photos to freezing in the Cornell Botanical Gardens for our wedding photos, Jen (and Brittni) were up for it all! She has a great eye for landscape backdrops, lighting and editing that blew us away when we saw final photos. We would highly recommend Jen for your next special event!
Jen and her assistant Brittany photographed our wedding on January 19, 2018 in Binghamton, New York. Jen's talent is clearly evident from all of photos posted on her Facebook and website, and we knew our wedding photos taken by her would be beautiful, but today she posted a sneak peak photo and our jaws literally dropped. Family members and friends who saw it told us it looked something from the cover of a magazine. Her work is truly art.
Beyond her talent, Jen is a professional who is clearly super passionate about capturing life's most important moments. Her assistant Brittany was lovely and very easy to work with. They both worked SO hard all day for us and it did not go unnoticed.
Future Brides and Grooms: do yourselves a HUGE favor and hire Jen before she is whisked off to a big city to shoot editorials and movie stars!
We absolutely love working with Jen! So professional, but keeps things fun and light! Couldn't be happier with our choice of photographer!
