Jessa Schifilliti, Photographer

ction and also made us and our families and guests feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Highly recommend!

er our wedding, I'm happy to confirm this is beyond true. Our photos are more beautiful than we could have imagined, and Jessa somehow captured special moments with every person in the room. My husband and I will also never forget the way Jessa went above and beyond throughout our wedding weekend to help us solve problems that had nothing to do with photography. Jessa is an incredible photographer and editor, but also just the best person (and yes, exactly who you want with you on your wedding day!) Hiring her for our special day is an investment we will be forever grateful we made, and we can't wait to work with her in the future. 

otos, and really captured natural moments from our day that we will cherish forever. Jessa has a true talent for curating beautiful moments and I could not imagine our wedding without her! Thank you so much

photos classic and timeless. From our introductory call through the wedding album editing call, Jessa was amazing to work with. I was worried at first when Jessa said she was unavailable the day of our wedding. She assured me her team was just as great and she would pair us with a photographer to match our personality and style. She could not have been more spot on with pairing us with Fiona. The moment we met for our engagement shoot, I automatically felt at ease. It felt as if I’d known Fiona for years. Fiona made the shoot fun, exciting and lighthearted. On our wedding day she a calming presence. I knew I didn’t have to worry about asking her for specific shots because she already knew what I was going to ask for. Fiona and Ashley made sure to capture everything both big and small throughout the entire day. They were able to work with the different family dynamics and personalities all while capturing the necessary shots. Jessa and her team made our photography experience truly incredible. Each and every time I look at our photos I smile. My goal for our photographer was to find someone that would allow us to re-live our day throughout our photos and that is exactly what we are able to do. Jessa’s attention to detail is incredible and she makes sure she has all questions answered before they are even asked. I could not be happier for working with Jessa and her team. I am so happy that we have found our photographer for life and cannot wait to work with Jessa and Fiona in the future.

st worked with her for our engagement shoot in NYC on a very windy and cold day and ALL of the photos came out amazing! She brought such a positive energy and made us feel so comfortable. For our wedding weekend back in October 2023, Jessa was super prepared and came with a detailed agenda to make sure everything went smoothly! She made everyone feel at ease and relaxed throughout the day and was so patient with all of our friends and family. We received our photos back from our wedding weekend and they are BEYOND stunning! Every moment was captured perfectly and we will have countless memories to look back on for the rest of our lives. Do not think twice before booking Jessa for your big day!!

Jessa was kind, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. Jessa and her team captured our wedding weekend in June 2023, which included back-to-back Indian and American weddings. Needless to say there was a lot going on, but Jessa and her team didn't miss a beat (and in fact, kept us focused and on track)! Jessa delivered literally thousands of photos between our two wedding days, and they are absolutely STUNNING. We can tell how much care and attention went into every single photo, and are so happy to be able to cherish these memories for the rest of our lives!

with our decision, especially after meeting Jessa in person! She 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!!!

planned to get married in a church and not on the beach, Jessa and 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!

memories with us. The team divided and conquered and we are so 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!

o patient and angelic dealing with family, groomsmen, bridesmaids 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.

day--from bridal suite pictures, first look under snowy trees, 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!

stal fall wedding. Jessa was very communicative; scheduled multiple 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.

m that day are absolutely stunning and are something my family and I truly cherish.

apture this special time in our life. We are not a couple who likes 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!

r wedding photos. We are IN LOVE with them and visit them all the 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.

love with her light, airy and dreamy style of photography. In the 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

e was any additional photos that we would like. She made this nervous 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!

y, which is large, was so impressed with the level of care and organization 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!

engagement pictures. Then when it came time to move our date the 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!

ss and exceptionally beautiful photo style won me over right away. 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!

fun working with her! Our wedding day was no different. Jessa and 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.

onfident all day long. Jessa is extremely talented - our pictures 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.

ll the photos we wanted to take and her enthusiasm and support are so gratefully appreciated!! We could not have asked for better!! Jessa, thank you for capturing the amazing day filled with love!

hat Jessa and I have a similar style and how beautifully candid 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!

Looking back on our photos, I can see the excitement and happiness 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.

photos. She was located quite a distance from me but I was so in 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!

once before the wedding day. Jessa and her assistant were flexible 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.

speak for themselves but what truly makes Jessa stand out is her 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.

nts to fly to Southern California from the East Coast and was more 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.

y with such ease. it took so much stress off my shoulders just trusting 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!!

l. In the lead up to the wedding, Jessa and her team were super 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!

st decision we made. Jenna is one of the kindest, sweetest and professional vendors we worked with. She makes you feel instantly comfortable and has an eye for capturing amazing moments. If you haven't booked a photographer yet, do yourself a favor and choose Jessa or an associate from her team!!! Aside from being so easy to work with, I can't even begin to tell you how many compliments we have received on our wedding photos. And the best part is, we received the entire album just ONE MONTH after our wedding date. I would HIGHLY recommend Jessa and her team and I'm forever thankful for the experience we had with them!!!

igh standards in quality and she delivered the most beautiful pictures of our wedding day! Her office assistant, Katelyn was so helpful and made sure every detail was taken care of beforehand. Jessa also went above and beyond and made our (absolutely crazy) vision of recreating our first date on Martha's Vineyard come to life and fought through some SERIOUS heat on our wedding day to make sure she got every morning detail! Having been on her side, I know it was a long and grueling day and we are so appreciative for all of the time she put in for us!! Thank you so much, Jessa!

as PERFECT. When it came to our wedding, I had a VISION. As in, Pinterest boards for each category, one million saved photos on Instagram, and a binder. I planned the wedding with my mom and we wanted everything to be slightly unique and our photos to capture the little details we made so special. The number one thing I knew was that I wanted a certain “look” to my photos. I emailed/spoke to approximately 50+ photographers trying to find the “look” I wanted for my budget. After reviewing the Jessa Schifiliti & Co work and speaking with their team, I knew I had finally found the right match. I chose to go with one of the associate packages based on our budget and was placed with Nicole who was local to where I grew up and our wedding was taking place! From first correspondence to ordering our wedding album in time for the holiday, the entire process was seamless, enjoyable, and incredible. Without a doubt, the best decision I made when it came to our wedding. Nicole & team were SO professional, quiet and got EVERY single shot we wanted (and I wanted some very specific ones), were able to wrangle our wedding party/family, and capture our day SO stunningly. My bridesmaids who were married in the few weeks prior even commented just how progressional, organized and thoughtful Nicole & team were and how they wish their photographer had been that way. We received our photos much quicker than anticipated, received way more photos than I thought, and could not be happier. The only thing I wish is that Jessa offered video services because our videographer was an absolute waste of money/terrible quality footage and I wish we had video to match our portraits! THANK YOU Jessa, Katelyn, Nicole & team for truly making the process so easy, enjoyable and for the stunning photos we will have for the rest of our lives. Future brides, book Jessa or on of her associates ASAP as I know this team will be very high profile before long!

wedding was very professional, personal and extremely organized (which as a Virgo I love and appreciate)!. She captured the weekend beautifully and her attention to detail exceeded my expectations. Many guests said they didn't even realize the photographers were there which is the best compliment as they blending into the scene and were not intrusive. I also loved that Jessa sent a preview gallery a few days after the wedding knowing how eager brides are to see photos and share with family and friends. I also just received my full gallery and could not be more thrilled - the lighting, angles, candid moments - she truly captured it all and it is so fun to relive every minute!

tions of our day in the most special way. I am so incredibly happy with how our pictures came out, every time I look at them it is like I am reliving the best day ever. We worked with Jessa & and a second shooter, Nikki, who was also amazing. They were so calm, organized & creative - no job was too big or too small! They even moved all of the furniture around our hotel room to make sure we were taking advantage of the natural lighting -- I was so impressed with them! They took such careful consideration to ensure they got all of the shots we requested, made our entire wedding party feel at ease and scouted amazing locations for us to get portraits in. They were super discrete at the ceremony & reception but someone managed to get all of the shots from all of the angles! Katelynn, Jessa's operations manager, was so ON IT (which is much appreciated by this type a, OCD bride). She worked closely with me to create the perfect run of show for the day and took all of my concerns into consideration to make sure we had a relaxed vibe leading up to the ceremony. I cannot recommend Jessa & her team more. They are incredibly talented & so sweet. It was such a pleasure to work with them throughout the entire process and I am so grateful for how well they captured every part of the day.

rience seamless and enjoyable. Highly recommend her :)

stions! We have gotten so many compliments on my photographs; people go nuts over the gorgeous light color of each picture! We could not recommend them more!

knowledgeable of the wedding industry and were open to lending their expertise to all aspects of wedding details when relevant. Jessa captured our engagement session in May of 2018 and our wedding in June of 2019. In between, associate photographer Jenna photographed my bridal shower (March 2019). Our engagement photos were on beach in Lavallette and they are so dreamy!! The natural light (evening into sunset) and the moments Jessa captured are breathtaking. We’re obsessed with the engagement session pics- we even had a full album of them made. We did that through Jessa. The album quality is great. Jessa drafted the design layout for us and we swapped a few photos from there. Super easy process. Lots of album options, too. One of the things I loved most about working with Jessa for the engagement session was that it gave me and my fiancé a chance to get to know her prior to our big day! Leading up to our wedding, Jessa and Katelyn were responsive, patient, and an overall joy to work with. I would call Katelyn Jessa’s right hand woman. I emailed and arranged and corresponded with Katelyn throughout the whole planning (about 14 months). The two of them make an all-star team. I know that may sound cheesy, but it’s the best way to sum it up. On top of it all, Jessa got us back all of our wedding photos in just 4 weeks. We are blown away by all of the memories/photographs she has given us! We will be making our album with her as well. The package we chose included a wedding album and 2 small parent albums. Also important to note, we had a 300 person wedding which I think requires an extra bit of know-how. In regards to Jenna photographing my bridal shower: She was very friendly, bubbly and photographed all of the little details wonderfully. She got a lot of great candid shots. Forever thankful to Jessa and her team!

er services for their own wedding, and once we looked at her photos, we knew that she was the perfect choice for us. Not only are her photos bright and aesthetically pleasing - they really capture every special moment and detail of your big day. The day was such a whirlwind that it was hard to remember and appreciate every little thing going on around us. It has been 2 months since our wedding, and not a day has gone by that I where I don't flip through our online album and am able to relive every perfect moment. I only met Jessa for the first time the morning of my wedding, but my husband and I felt so immediately comfortable with her and her second shooter. I know people who have said the wedding portrait process can be a painful experience - for us it was a pleasure. She was simultaneously professional and so much fun to be around - talking us through every pose and explaining her vision. We couldn't be happier with how the day went. When our album arrived, we were so overjoyed that she had captured every shot we were looking for - around the venue, guests, little details, candid moments of joy. The preview also came so quickly - only 2 days after our wedding! It was perfect to hold us over until the full gallery was ready about 4 weeks later. We hope to have the opportunity to work with Jessa and her team again in the future! Thank you Jessa for

feel so comfortable and captured our big day perfectly! The preview shots we received just days after our wedding are beyond beautiful! We are so excited to see the full gallery and know that we will treasure these images forever!

erfectly captured our day, our vision, and us as a couple. Thanks, Jessa!

th a true professional. From our first phone call, booking Jessa was the easiest decision I made during the wedding planning. She is kind and personable, which was very important for my husband and I. She also knows how to get a large bridal party to take some seriously amazing photographs. Today is one month to my first year anniversary and I can tell you that I still look at my wedding photos almost every day. The amount of compliments I have gotten is indescribable. Not only is Jessa and her team amazing the day of, but also the process after when you finally get your photos. She is patient and helpful when choosing the best pictures for your wedding album. I can only say that if you are concerned about how to make your wedding memorable, you will not be disappointed hiring Jessa! She not only makes you feel so special at your wedding, but she captures your day better than you could have ever imagined. I look forward to be able to ask Jessa to capture more memorable moments in the future for my husband and me.

soon after the wedding! I continue to revisit our photos all the time as they captured the day so well. Would highly recommend!

a shy really opened up and it shows in our photos. Our family and friends swoon over our wedding photos and we will cherish them forever. Jessa has a talent for capturing people in their best light on their special day.
