Jessa Schifilliti, Photographer

e is so sweet, fun and personable while also being a true professional who is organized, efficient and has an amazing eye for the BEST photos. She treats her clients with such grace and helps make you feel at ease, even if taking photos doesn’t come naturally to you. Our engagement photos were amazing and our wedding photos were unreal - truly a dream to have photos that look like they are out of a magazine and ones we can share with friends and family for many, many years to come. Jessa is a MUST for your wedding day!!! I cannot recommend her enough - she is AMAZING!!!

nd her photographers Lauren and Lexi were able to make our wedding beach photo dreams come true! Our wedding day had so many moving parts - our getting ready location, ceremony, and venue were all in different beach towns of NJ. Not to mention, we definitely wanted to incorporate beach photos! Jessa made sure to create a timeline that would work for us and we were still able to make it to our cocktail hour and didn’t do a first look. Lauren was our primary photographer for our wedding day and Lexi assisted her. We had the chance to meet Lauren and work with her for our engagement shoot, which helped us become comfortable with her prior to our wedding day. We did not meet Lexi until the day of our wedding, but she made my husband and I feel like we had known her for a while! I cannot speak highly enough about these wonderful women! They were so attentive, reassuring, and made sure everything we planned for AND MORE happened without any issues! I still cannot believe it! These ladies ran the day amazingly and we were constantly ahead of schedule, making the wedding day nerves a lot less stressful. Our bridal party, family, and guests could not get over how organized and on top of it they were with everything! If Jessa is unable to photograph your wedding, I HIGHLY recommend Lauren and Lexi! Overall, the process of working with Jessa and her team was flawless and reassuring. Jessa never made me feel like the moving location pieces of our wedding day and extravagant plans were unmanageable, whereas other photographers that I met with told me my vision was impossible. I am so happy that I chose Jessa’s services and her professionalism. We received our wedding preview photos from Jessa just 4 days after our wedding, which we still cannot stop looking at! We are excited to see the full content and cannot wait to work with Jessa in choosing our wedding album. If you haven’t chosen your wedding photographer yet, choose Jessa and her team, you will not be disappointed!

impressed with their professionalism, but also their laid back nature that made every single person they came in contact with comfortable and excited to take photos! Shout out to Jessa for seamlessly organizing such a beautiful wedding timeline for us and for coordinating the perfect photographers that captured our love story!

s and a bride and groom who are not naturals in front of the camera and made us look like models in every photo. I will cherish my wedding photos forever. They are edited so beautifully and every single one is a keepsake.

family portraits in the courtyard to partying it up on the dance floor--we really were at ease. Despite the crazy cold/blizzard, we are so happy it snowed as our final wedding photos ended up being so charming and romantic. Jessa helped put together a beautiful final album that we'll cherish forever!

ple calls and was always in contact. Her team is so professional and on it. She was also able to recommend some other vendors to me as well. Would recommend her and her team to anyone.

nd I truly cherish.

kes to take pictures so this was a big thing for us, and something we were nervous about to be honest. Jessa made us so comfortable at our engagement shoot, and I loved that we got to know her before our wedding. As for the big day, it was important to my fiancé (now husband) and I that we didn't feel like the photography was pulling us away, but still captured everything we wanted. She made all the picture taking on our wedding day so much fun.. and painless! I haven't seen my whole gallery yet, but am so excited to after seeing the first 20 she sent me (and already cannot stop posting them on Instagram:) ). You will not regret hiring her, I promise!

e time to relive the day. Jessa is an incredibly talented photographer and goes above and beyond to make sure every single detail of your wedding is captured beautifully. Her combination of film and digital photography is so special and the light, airy, golden hour results are an absolute dream. In addition to Jessa's stunning photography, her and her team were incredibly sweet, patient, generous and helpful in providing a timeline for the wedding and making sure that everything ran seamlessly on the day of - start to finish. Jessa is not only a class act professional, she's also so fun to work with - she makes you feel so comfortable and at ease in front of the camera! She provides great direction and is super encouraging and energetic every step of the way. We truly owe so much of our wedding weekend being a dream come true to Jessa and her team!! Thank you for the beautiful memories that we will cherish forever.

e months leading up to our wedding, Jessa and her team were very communicative and took the time to outline a detailed day of schedule with us and our wedding planner to ensure we would get all of the shots we wanted, and everything would run as smoothly as possible. On our wedding day, Jessa and her team were so sweet and patient, and made my husband and I feel comfortable in front of the cameras (this was huge for us because we both get very nervous). Shortly after our wedding, she was kind enough to surprise us with sneak peaks while we awaited delivery of our full wedding gallery. Jessa captured each moment of the most special day for us beautifully – our photos are so stunning and look straight out of a wedding magazine! Beyond our wedding day, Jessa also patiently worked with us to curate a beautiful keepsake wedding album that we will cherish forever. We will absolutely be using Jessa to photograph all of our special moments to come. Thank you so much, Jessa! Samantha & Kenny

rvous bride comfortable in front of a camera. The planning process was very thoughtful and excellent with timing. We had my grandparents (Brides) one is in a wheelchair and one has a walker and Kelee was very accommodating with the photos with them in it for them to not stand and be in the heat too long (it was 97 degrees!!) So far we got our wedding preview and we are utterly IN LOVE! We are so happy we went with Jessa's team to capture our big day. We also had the ability to work with Jessa herself for our engagement pictures and she was so sweet and welcoming. Whether you book with Jessa or her associates they will not disappoint. Highly recommend!

rganization she and her assistant brought on our wedding day. Then, when we received the pictures, we were blown away with the quality and moments she captured - she didn't miss a thing! I am so happy Jessa was a part of our day and I look forward to looking back on the best day of our lives through her beautiful pictures. I highly, highly recommend Jessa to capture your special moments, she will not disappoint!

second time he was already booked. I remembered seeing a friend on Instagram post pictures from her wedding and I just fell absolutely in love with the way they came out and asked her right away who her photographer was. That's when I found Jessa. I immediately reached out to her when we had our second date set in stone and asked her if she was available. I was preparing myself that by the looks of her work she would be booked already but lucky for us she wasn't! Everything truly does happen for a reason and if it weren't for our date changing we wouldn't have been lucky enough to work with Jessa. From start to finish she was an absolute doll and a pleasure to work with. Jessa and her team are responsible, reliable, trustworthy, kind, patient, efficient and EXTREMELY talented! Our pictures came out better than we would have ever imagined and our photo album is absolutely beautiful! We could not recommend her enough!

y. She was attentive and we were thrilled to see sneak peek shots. Now, we’re enjoying looking through our 800+ gorgeous photos and reliving our day! Thank you Jessa! Highly, highly, highly recommend!

nd her assistant Jessica did an amazing job capturing all of the special moments, keeping us on track, and coordinating with our videographer, all with a calm, composed attitude. I love all of the pictures that she has shared and am so excited to see the final gallery. Jessa has such a great eye and I would highly recommend her to capture all of the special moments in life.

s are nothing short of absolutely gorgeous! I feel so grateful to have had her as our photographer to capture all the special moments from our wedding day.

re so gratefully appreciated!! We could not have asked for better!! Jessa, thank you for capturing the amazing day filled with love!

her photos look. Jessa flew to Charleston for our big day and went above and beyond for us! I can't wait to see all the photos but the few she sent have been amazing! My family is already raving about the photos and how kind Jessa was. She's like a breath of fresh air on your wedding day! Thank you for everything!

ness me and my husband felt that day. Everyone looks amazing in the photos too. We ended up having a photo of each of our guests that we could include in our Thank You cards, that is amazing considering we had close to 200 guests! Jessa is extremely professional and organized. She worked with us to create a realistic timeline so that we could get all the photos that we wanted and she really listened to us when we discussed getting as many photos as we possibly could. We had 25 people in our wedding party plus large families that were very involved in our day but Jessa handled it with ease. We also worked really hard to have lots of details included in our wedding and we have beautiful pictures of it all. I expected we would need to have a ton of time for each set of photos but Jessa gets the shot quickly. This allowed us to stay present at our wedding and enjoy every part of it without leaving the reception for very long. Jessa also had ideas for locations around my venue that I would never have thought of! For example, there were a bunch of trees off the the side of my venue that I had never looked twice at but Jessa used them to create a gorgeous backdrop for our bridal party pictures and really made the light pink bridesmaid dresses stand out! There are so many exciting things happening on your wedding day, that you can get distracted but when you hire Jessa you can trust Jessa to take care of you and guide you through your day.

love with her work, I had to reach out. We had a great first face time conversation. She was friendly, calm, professional and really listened to our wants and needs. I could immediately tell, she loves what she does and puts her heart into it and really cares about her clients. Our wedding planning was met by many obstacles, the biggest one being the pandemic. It was nerve racking, scary and we were faced with many uncertainties. Jessa remained the sweet, compassionate, professional and amazing person she was from the very beginning. It helped put us at ease knowing we were working with a trusting and reliable photographer. With some adjustments, we were still able to married in September! Jessa delivered every promise and met every expectation. Her personality is something I admire and I’m so happy to have had her on my special day. After the wedding she delivered us the most beautiful photos and keepsakes I could have dreamt of. Every step of the way, from start to finish, Jessa was amazing. She is extremely responsive, organized and SO talented. I made the best decision by choosing her as our wedding photographer and hope to work with her again in the future!

ble in staying later than planned. They captured the day perfectly and I love reliving it every time I look through the photos. My husband and I are extremely happy with her work.

r personality. She was warm, friendly and patient throughout the day but also took charge and commanded the group when she needed to. She helped calm me down when I was emotional, encouraged my husband and I to be in the moment and also made all of my nuisance requests happen. She somehow got every picture I had requested. My friends and I have been a part of many weddings and all of them told me how far superior Jessa was - not only from the quality of her images but from how kind she was on the day-of. Besides her amazing personality and breathtaking images, I especially loved her team's expert planning and organization. Her questionnaires and timelines were a bride's dream come true. It was so helpful to give to the bridal party so they all know where they had to be and when. Also, all of my questions were always responded to in a timely manner and I never felt like I was a bother. When your wedding is over, your pictures are what you can keep looking back on. Jessa will make all of the memories come alive and is worth every penny. She expertly captured the joy, excitement and love of our special day.

re than willing to spend more time with us photographing our engagement shoot 2 days before our wedding, which was the first time we met in person. From the moment we booked our date with her, Jessa and Katelyn never missed a beat with our constant communication from planning the small details that mattered to us to discussing our wedding vision, mainly through emails and phone calls over the period of several months. They helped us figure out logistics when we had questions and kept us on track by reviewing our photography timeline ahead of time. Jessa even sent us a little surprise in the mail during our wedding planning, what a sweetheart she is! Jessa is truly a talented, down-to-earth, client-oriented wedding professional. She captured all of the big and small moments of our wedding and engagement shoot perfectly and really helped make our wedding day run smoothly. She will stand up for you to ensure there is complete photo coverage of the bride, groom, and guests that you had wanted (but may forget about when you're enjoying the moment) and will iron out any time conflicts that may arise with other vendors. They were on top of EVERYTHING that a bride could ever ask for. Both sides of our families gave us many compliments about their patience and friendliness when trying to gather multiple people for family photos. In addition, our other wedding vendors enjoyed working with Jessa and her team, which is a plus plus for everyone. I could go on and on about how much I loved having Jessa as our wedding photographer. She is such a rock star and her work ethic really shows how much she loves what she does. All I can say to brides and grooms seeking the best wedding photographer: please look no further and commit to having Jessa be a part of your special day. You will be in great hands of an experienced professional who will be fully involved in having your best interest at heart and allow you and the groom to really enjoy the biggest day of your lives with ease. THANK YOU JESSA! <3 We will always appreciate everything that you have done for us.

rusting her with my vision. The photos she has taken for us are some of my prized possessions and I am so grateful to her for giving these memories to us. Since my wedding, Jessa has taken our Christmas card photos and document as my family grows. Anyone would be SO lucky to have her photograph your special day or time of your life!!

communicative so I really had no doubts that everything would run smoothly day of. On the day, Jessa and her team arrived early and were such wonderful presences in our getting ready suite. When we discovered a crisis with my dress that threw everyone into panic mode and took a good chunk of our photo time to resolve, Jessa remained calm and kept everything running as smoothly as possible, moving around the schedule she had put together with as little disruption as possible. She really took the lead on keeping things going and keeping everyone calm, which I couldn’t have appreciated more. And, we now have absolutely stunning pictures which we will cherish forever. There is not one shot that I feel was missed, and I couldn’t be happier with her work!
