Jess Palatucci Photography

ose and giving direction which is so helpful. She also is creative and uses the venue, lighting, and props in the best way. I can not recommend her enough! She also provides a preview of 100+ photos a few days after which is INCREDIBLE! 

ing. She’s incredibly organized and had this incredible worksheet to help us think through little details we hadn’t thought of yet. She was very responsive to all emails and the pictures we’ve seen so far are OUT OF THIS WORLD. We cannot recommend using her enough for your photography needs!

photos. Truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

d out from day one. From our engagement shoot to the wedding, she was our favorite vendor—calm, supportive, and always made us feel like her top priority. If you’re considering Jess, don’t hesitate. She’s the best decision we made (not to mention, we got to see a preview in less than a week after our wedding)! Jess is a rockstar!

have some strong personalities in our family and Jess handled everyone with the highest professionalism! She drove the timeline for the day, and kept us all on track to make sure we got every shot we wanted before our guests started showing up! Jess answered every single one of our questions, helped guide the final timeline for the day to make sure it wasn't too dark for photos during the ceremony, and felt like the glue that kept our vendors working together! Thank you for making us feel so comfortable during our engagement session and our entire wedding day! You captured this incredible time of our life how we'll always remember it - romantic, beautiful and so so fun!

ry large preview the week after the wedding which was amazing and we can’t wait to see the rest! The pictures are stunning I did not think I could look that good haha run to hire Jess for your wedding!!!

e incredible moments and emotions on camera while making you feel your best, but her professionalism, communication, and energy are unmatched. From our engagement shoot to our wedding day, Jess was my favorite vendor to work with - she was always there to provide suggestions when I had questions, brought a calming energy while still being my biggest cheerleader, and always made us feel like we were her only focus at all times despite the number of clients she has at any given moment. I cannot recommend Jess enough to any future brides!!

remely professional and responsive. She took the time to understand our vision and the photos came out incredible. I couldn’t imagine more perfect wedding photos. Jess was incredibly organized. Everything ran according to schedule and I felt at ease from her timeline that was planned prior to the day. Overall, I would highly recommend Jess to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and creative wedding photographer. She truly exceeded our expectations and made our special day even more memorable

l, and creative! Our sneak peak (which we got in just 2.5 days) is full of amazing pictures! We received so many compliments about her work throughout the day and once we shared photos! Her editing style is just gorgeous and she made it feel like we were just enjoying our day while having photos captured vs posing for photos all day! Thank you so much Jess!

y detail in a way that truly reflects the emotion and beauty of the day. On a personal level, Jess is a joy to work with. She is warm, approachable, and genuinely cares about making the experience as enjoyable as possible. Her professionalism and friendly demeanor made us feel completely at ease, allowing her to capture our day in the most natural and candid way. The sneak peeks we’ve received so far have blown us away. Each photo surpasses our expectations and captures the essence of our special day in a way we couldn’t have imagined. We cannot recommend Jess enough. Thank you, Jess—we couldn’t be happier!

sign to book with Jess now! Our photos look straight out of a fairy tale. In addition to her artistry, Jess’s professionalism deserves praise as well. She was very timely in responding to us and rescheduling with us depending on weather. She was extremely thorough in providing locations to us as well. I had told Jess my image/hope for the engagement shoot, which was quite specific. We were also unsure whether we wanted to bring our dogs along. Jess provided several locations based off whether they were dog friendly, and what type of setting it would provide for the photo shoot. She was very accommodating in providing locations that were closer to us, since we were coming from central Jersey. Furthermore, she was wonderful at directing us and posing us during pictures and selected several different locations within the park for us to take a variety of pictures. With all that being said. We're excited to see how our wedding photos will turn out if this was just our engagement shoot!

cannot wait for our big day to be captured by her!

ted & created a comprehensive photo timeline for us on our wedding day. Jess was always readily available during the entire wedding planning process if we had questions or concerns. I can't imagine our wedding day running as smoothly as it did without her. Jess was there to wrangle in our family members and bridal party for all of our requested portraits. She even helped fix the bustle of my dress when it broke mid reception. Having Jess as our photographer truly felt like having a friend take our pictures. Jess and her team also collaborated amazingly with our videographer and venue coordinators. I am beyond grateful that we chose Jess to work with for our special day!

itial meeting for engagement photos in NYC felt as if we'd known each other for ages. Jess's approach was phenomenal, ensuring we were at ease and joyful throughout the day. Her knack for capturing unique, creatively located shots that resonated with our vibe was impressive. In the week leading up to the wedding, Jess and I exchanged inspiration, ramping up the excitement. She flawlessly captured the essence of our big day, paying close attention to what mattered most to us and efficiently organizing those moments early on to alleviate any stress. Remarkably, she seized the opportunity during sunset to take what became my favorite photos. Having a photographer who is not only skilled but also genuinely interested in understanding and capturing the couple's essence is crucial. An extra perk was receiving the wedding preview just days after the event, which added a special touch to our honeymoon flight. I wholeheartedly recommend Jess for anyone looking to capture their special day perfectly. Highly recommend working with Jess!!

w still isn't off the floor! Every photo she takes is absolutely breathtaking and she truly knows how to capture the essence of any moment! From the very beginning of the planning process, to our engagement session, and our wedding day she was extremely responsive, patient, and empathetic! She is really a joy to work with and I would / have recommended her to everyone!

he camera and after the engagement shoot I knew we had made the right choice. Little did I know she would absolutely blow us away with our wedding photos... she took the most beautiful photos that captured every moment of our day, from the details, to the florals, to the family portraits. Truly the photos make us look like a magazine spread which is saying a lot for two people who felt awkward to start in front of the camera. And to top it off, Jess and her team were absolutely a joy to work with. So professional, easy going, and fun. Would recommend working with Jess and her team a thousand times over.

clients feel like their best selves. She is easy to talk to, and willing to accommodate to your needs. She is the best!!

portantly her photos are beautiful!!!

18 months prior to the wedding. She constantly checked in with us and helped us create the most amazing vision for our wedding. To say she has a heart of gold, would be an understatement. Her eye for detail and understanding a couple's vision was amazing. The preview photos we have seen look amazing and I can't wait to see the remainder of them. I have already recommended Jess and her company to a neighbor getting married and I plan on recommending her to everyone who asks.

We received so many wonderful pictures from our October 2023 wedding already! Such a great photographer all around!

edible - listens to what you like and don't like, and helps you pose in a way that's flattering. She's also easy to talk to, put together my entire wedding day timeline, gave plenty of guidance - we couldn't have done it without her. Of all our vendors, I would recommend her a million times over.

kes beautiful photos with ease. She was always extremely responsive and helpful throughout the wedding planning process and made everything so easy and seamless. She does a wonderful job at making you feel comfortable in front of the camera. She truly has an amazing eye for photography. We highly recommend her for your wedding photos! 🤍

dible eye for detail and took the time to get to know Ryan & I. The photos we received for our engagement session, and wedding are truly stunning. Jess was very communicative and answered any questions we had throughout the planning process but also the day of our wedding. We are so in love with how our pictures turned out. I can't thank Jess enough and I will continue to recommend her to my family & friends.

ghout the whole planning process and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera! We loved every moment working with Jess!

on to remember our wedding day. Having known Jess for years and seeing her work from other people’s weddings, I knew in my heart she was the only photographer I could trust with the most important pictures of our lives. I’m very type-A when it comes to planning, but I felt so comfortable giving Jess full control of how our wedding day timeline played out. The minute she walked into my bridal suite I felt instant relief because I knew we were in the best hands. Jess was always on time, organized, easy to work with and constantly working to create perfect shots. She always has a plan in mind. From the very beginning Jess had a way of making us feel so at ease in front of the camera (which says a lot for my husband who typically hates taking pictures). She works hard to get all the right angles, but she makes it look so effortless and natural. I’d get excited whenever we could really see her gears turning with creativity, when she’ll say “WAIT DON’T MOVE” - those always end up being the most beautiful shots. All day long Jess was constantly moving, keeping us on track, getting all of our requested shots and still getting the in-the-moment candids that we love. Because we did a first look, all of our formal portraits were out of the way before the ceremony so that we could fully enjoy cocktail hour with our guests (highly recommend). Jess made our bridal party portraits a breeze (and there were 19 of us total). My mom was so impressed with how Jess wrangled our family members (even our unruly grandparents) to get family portraits done so efficiently and professionally. Jess has been nothing short of incredible from the day we booked her, to our engagement shoot, to answering all of my questions during the wedding planning process and finally, to our wedding day where she captured the memories we’re going to cherish for a lifetime. I have so much admiration for this business she’s created and I know her portraits will be famous one day. We were blown away by how stunning our engagement and wedding preview photos were. We are constantly getting compliments from our friends and family about how gorgeous Jess’ work is. The beauty of her work speaks for itself, but there’s also something to be said about how wonderful and accommodating she is as a person and as a professional. There really is no one better, and I cannot recommend her enough.

wedding or event! Thank you!! Kristina and Dan!!

ting, realistic and just what we needed day off to make sure the day went smoothly. Hiring her was the best money we spent on our wedding and we will always be grateful!

ing! Her work is unbelievable and she was super helpful with all decision making on the best spots to find at our venue for the perfect photos! We can't thank Jess enough for capturing our day!

dn’t have asked for anyone better to capture our day! We are so excited to see our full gallery’s bday share with friends and family her beautiful work! She worked so well with my vendors and everyone raved about the exceptional work she did!!

y blossom trees), and coordinating all the family and friend photos. We highly recommend this team.

we made. Natural to my personality, I was extremely stressed and could not “let go” at the beginning of my wedding day. Then Jess arrived, way early I may add, and took a day that was going completely off schedule from everything we planned and some how immediately got everything back on track and made everything happen!!! We had way too many little ones in our wedding, and she still managed to get in all the shots and work under such chaotic circumstances and leave us time to relax prior to the ceremony. I credit her for saving our wedding day with her professionalism, organization, time management, and the best talent I have ever seen from a wedding photographer. The time and effort she puts into styling every last detail, to her quick turn around time, to her incredible edits. She is a photographer who can make your photos look straight out of a fashion magazine, while at the same time keeping the story and emotions in the pictures. She stages you so you look like a model even if you’re the furthest thing from it. She’s extremely kind, calm, and not just an amazing photographer, but an amazing human being. She has been a pleasure to work with from our first phone call 2 years ago all the way through. After every thorough email back and forth to every phone call she left a feeling of reassurance, comfort, and optimism within me. Her responsiveness is like nothing I have ever seen in a world where it can be incredibly difficult to find a vendor who won’t take forever to get back to you! You don’t even need a day of coordinator when you hire Jess, she is that good! I have so enjoyed working with her over the past couple of years, and I will honestly say I will miss her! I’m already trying to think of shoots I can hire her for. Also shout out to her amazing team who were all so kind, had an incredible energy and were so talented as well! Jess is worth every single penny she charges, and for what you receive I honestly think she should charge way more. HIRE HER, you won’t regret it!!!!!!! This woman will be FAMOUS one day, mark my words!

created helped tremendously with planning. We are obsessed with every picture and cannot thank her enough for capturing our day!

e sent over the GREATEST Info sheet that helped me plan my outfits, what not do and what to consider! It helped me so much; I felt so relaxed going into the shoot because she prepared me so well! NOW time comes for the shoot day and her presence was SO amazing, she was so calming, helpful, constructive…!! I felt so comfortable and had the most fun!! I loved every second of working with Jesus!! Highly recommend!!

e me feel at ease. We had an engagement shoot with Jess before our wedding day, and from that moment I knew we had made the best choice to book Jess. It was the coldest day in January, and Jess showed up with pure excitement to do our shoot. Not only is she incredibly professional, she makes you feel so comfortable while shooting and is such a kind person. Before the wedding, she provided an incredibly detailed wedding day timeline with all of the details about the big day, which helped prep everyone for how the day would shake out. The day of the wedding, Jess arrived in typical Jess fashion with a huge smile on her face. And boy, did she rock the shots! I can't even count how many compliments I've received. I'm so happy I booked Jess as my photographer and encourage anyone else to do the same!

self-conscious. Jess totally put me at ease during our photos. We took our photos an an arboretum and had the unusual request of wanting of popping over to the goat farm taking pictures with the goats! Jess was so down and the photos are amazing! Leading up to our wedding, Jess made us an incredible timeline which let us know exactly what to expect. Our day of coordinator called it "the most beautiful timeline she's ever seen." When the actual day came, Jess was simply the best. Whether and temperature were not in our favor, but no one would know from looking at the photos in our wedding preview. Jess captured us perfectly as a couple. Everyone keeps telling me you can see the love in we have for each other. I'm just overjoyed with how she and her second shooter were able to capture our day. Seriously, cannot recommend enough!

le to swap it!) and she made me feel confident, comfortable, and sexy. It was so fun and a memorable way to capture our pre-wedding bliss. Most importantly, me and my husband LOVED the pictures! As for our wedding day - Jess and her second shot were professional, prompt, and fun! I want to highlight how well she executed the family portraits, which was a ton of coordination to corral our 40+ family members in a short time span (on top of it being SO hot!) She got it done efficiently and effectively. We got our wedding preview shots WITHIN THE SAME WEEK. She totally made our honeymoon even more special because we were able to reminisce with 70 pictures of our big day. To put it simply, HIRE HER. THANK YOU, Jess!!!!

ning and decorating (building faux flower arrangements) myself. And originally, I had chosen a photo mill type company to photograph our wedding because it was cheap and seemed easy. But after 1 failed photoshoot and a second where the photographer never showed up - we cancelled with that company and were totally refunded by some miracle. And that experience (who knew) was the best thing that could have ever happened - because if it hadn’t, I never would have found Jess or worked with JPP! From the first call I had with Jess on FaceTime Audio - I immediately felt at ease. As crazy as I was feeling managing all wedding planning from London and fretting about family dynamics talking her ear off like a lunatic, she reassured me that I was no bridezilla. She was a dog lover too, had on her site that she was a family wrangling expert and I soon discovered she could make me feel calm - not to mention her eye for taking the most gorgeous photos... and that was it! I was sold. And since signing with her, I felt like no matter what happened - it would be okay. And my God was it. Jess' initial questionnaire covered everything. And when we reviewed it together over FaceTime, my husband and I could both tell how on top of everything she was. This wasn’t her first rodeo and it showed. - She customized her package removing the engagement session and adding in a second shooter / additional hour to meet our budget. - She responded to my every e-mail ask / potential photo requests - and she committed them to memory like an elephant reminding me NIGHT OF whether I still wanted a particular shot. - She traveled to Rye, NY from Pennsylvania where she's based for us in a day. - She captured all the sentimental shots I wanted during our mass - through family portraits and the rest of the evening… even pausing HER dinner to help me make my impromptu second dress entrance (!), - She arrived on time and kept to schedule, working with her second shooter who was with my husband on the day to ensure there were no accidental run ins at the hotel - She MORE THAN DELIVERED. While we haven't received the complete gallery as yet (only 1 week out from our big day!) we have seen all 150+ preview photos and my mom and I both spent yesterday morning going through them and crying at every, single, one. We will forever have the most beautiful photos of our special day to look at and relive over and over again because of her. So I can’t thank or recommend JPP enough for everything she and second shooter Rachel did last Thursday to make us both look and feel like a million dollars. We are so appreciative of all their time and effort and would book her to document our wedding or any other life events a hundred times over. So don't hesitate. Just BOOK. And if you don't believe me - that's fine. You don't know me from Adam. But then look at the pictures I shared on Google... those are just the previews and so her talent speak for itself!

her talent literally jumps off of the page. She also immediately makes you feel at home so that you can relax as photos are being taken. Lastly, she is extremely knowledgeable and efficient. Making the entire process a seem less experience.

my wedding photos GORGEOUS she gave me a “wedding photo preview” a couple days after my wedding with way more pictures than I was expecting. Her editing of her pictures are so airy, light and natural. She responded to my emails and phone calls right away, and worked very well along side my other vendors. There were some complications with the site where my dream was to take photos (In between the church and reception ) and she went out of her way to make sure i was able to get there because she knew it was important to me. I HIGHLY recommend her, she will make your day perfect!

so comfortable and was very patient. I cannot say enough good things about her. Thank you again Jess for everything!

ould not have imagined it going nearly as smoothy without her presence. We received compliments from our family and friends throughout the night and then Jess sent a preview gallery within a couple of days with SO many gorgeous, gorgeous photos. Everyone has been raving about how beautiful the photos are and we cannot stop looking at them! We would hire her again one million times over. Thank you, Jess!!

was organized, on time, so fun and made my wedding day a blast! Not only is she amazing in those aspects, she is FAST. She sent out my preview album days after my wedding with so many photos to look at and share on social media. It's so smart she does this so that you have a handful of photos to hold you over while you wait for the rest! The photos I have received so far are INCREDIBLE. I can't stop looking at them!! She is a sweetheart and an amazing talent!!!

taken pictures so I don't know how to act lol she walked us through every picture and made them magical! She made sure I got all the pictures I wanted, wrangled up the entire families twice! I couldn't have asked for a better night!

that you can let her know exactly all of the pictures you want from your day. She answered all of my questions that I had. Although she was not available for our new date she made sure she sent us some of the best photographers that work with her. She remained in contact with us to make sure that everything would run smoothly.
