Jesse Rinka Photography

reat job at the wedding on Saturday 10/7. Despite the rain, they made it a wonderful experience. They got to the hotel on time (in a downpour) and took so many great pics at the hotel and Harvest on Hudson. The rain lessened through the afternoon, and we did manage to get some pics in the garden. Angie and Sal were great the entire day, bringing enthusiasm, humor and exceptional professionalism and making sure our “list” of pictures was completed. They were so nice to work with and added to the magical experience. They families were thrilled! We just received our digital album, in less than a week, and are extremely happy with all the great pictures. I would highly recommend Jesse Rinka Photography! We really appreciated all their hard work and great energy in the crazy weather we had!

ia & the team were so professional and the passion they have for their work was evident!! They have a one-of-a-kind, unique ability to capture not just moments but the emotions behind them. Every time I look at our wedding photos AND video, I'm automatically transported back to our special day. Communication was a breeze, and they made everyone feel so comfortable in front of the camera. I can't recommend them enough! I've received so many compliments from many, especially those who were lucky enough to experience some of the day working with them!! :) It won't be the last time we use Jesse and recommend him for the future! If you're looking for someone to capture your day perfectly, JESSE is your guy! 10000/10.

ith. We booked an engagement shoot with Jesse and were absolutely blown away by his talent - and he somehow exceeded every expectation on our wedding day. Him & his team did not miss a single shot, every picture came out absolutely amazing, and as always, they were truly an absolute pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend booking Jesse & his team - 11/10 experience!

easy to work with both Jesse and Maria. First off, our engagement shoot was SO FUN! Jesse understood the vision of the ride or die on the motorcycle and the whimsical vibe in the park. He made us feel so comfortable and at ease since this was our first photoshoot as a couple. Our wedding day 6/3/23 - Jesse and team were AMAZING! They were professional, on time, patient, and most of all FUN! From morning till the end of the night the team was snapping away capturing all the moments and important details. Under a very stressful time at the park with the limo company getting me to the park much later than expected, Jesse took that time to take great pictures of my husband and his groomsmen! With the short amount of time, we had at the park he was able to not only be very cool, calm and collected but took the most beautiful pictures at first look, portraits of me and my husband and me with the bridal party! Jesse is an artist behind the lens and just understands your vision without even having to go into much detail! Working with his team made the wedding day as perfect as it was! BEST VENDOR !!! 10000/10

nd easy to work with! They made us feel extremely comfortable and natural while taking all photos and videos that day. Their talent is unmatched and exceeded all of our expectations! We could not imagine our wedding day without them! If you have not booked them yet I highly suggest you do so now!!!!! Lastly, we would like to thank Maria who was extremely helpful throughout the entire planning process!

comfortable and captured exactly the vibe we were looking for. It was SO hot on our wedding day and we truly appreciate his heroic efforts to take as many pictures outside as we could. Choosing a photographer was one of the most important tasks as these are the memories we will have forever and I am so thankful we choose Jesse. Thank you thank you!

ssional, attentive, and extremely talented; but they also brought the best energy to our wedding day keeping everything seamless, stress-free and fun. Jesse’s work speaks for itself; our photos are stunning and it’s impossible to choose favorites! Your photos are the only tangible memory you have of your wedding day - I cannot recommend Jesse & his team enough to capture your happily ever after! Ryan & his team created the most beautiful Same Day Edit, Extended Trailer, and Cinematic Feature for our wedding. One of our favorite moments from our wedding day was viewing our Same Day Edit with our families & guests before cutting our cake. To have memories of all the magical moments from your wedding day to relive for a lifetime is priceless - we highly recommend Ryan & his team!

and I have watched it countless times, our family members even watched it countless times, there hasn’t been a time when one of us didn’t cry. We are blown away by his work. He captured every moment of our day and turned it into a fairytale movie. I am so grateful that I can forever cherish these moments for the rest of my life. I cannot thank you enough! To my fellow brides — it is worth it!!

wedding couldn’t have gone smoother, and I attribute a lot of that to Jesse’s professionalism and calm demeanor. He made me, my parents, and my bridesmaids feel so calm and confident. Jesse and his team were able to help us corral 40+ family members for family portraits, and took some incredible shots at Villa Barone’s lakefront property. To say my photos are stunning is an understatement, creating our wedding album was so hard because I couldn’t choose my favorites. Jesse and his team define talent, I couldn’t have imagined our wedding day without them. Pre- and post-wedding day, Maria was beyond helpful and patient with me. Whenever I had a question, concern, or an update to scheduling, Maria always replied promptly and was so inviting and friendly. The entire Jesse Rinka team felt like old friends by the end of our wedding day. Ryan and his team were simply incredible. Ryan was thoughtful in the shots he took and walked us through everything while shooting. There were moments that Ryan caught between my husband and I that really capture the happiness and pure bliss we were feeling that day. Ryan and the team also caught amazing shots from our reception, ones that I will cherish forever. Being a bride and groom, you don’t realize the party that you are surrounded by. Watching our wedding video back, Ryan helped us catch those special memories (and dance moves) perfectly. It’s truly my favorite part of our wedding video. His talent is unmatched, and totally exceeded my expectations. I can go on and on, I cannot recommend Jesse, Ryan, and their teams to enough people. At the end of the night, my husband and I didn’t want them to leave! Anyone would be lucky to have them be apart of their special day.

t of our special day. Jesse and Maria went above and beyond from the day we first met to game plan our wedding day till the very last second of our day. Their attention to detail was impeccable and you can see it in every single one of our pictures and video. Our wedding day pictures capture more than just a day, it captured the love that Joe and I have for one another and the love that our friends and family had for us. Jesse and his team will forever hold a special place in our hearts and we consider them family. Words cannot even describe how highly we recommend Jesse and his team!

oughout the entire time, Maria worked with me to make sure everything would be ok, no matter what. Jesse meets with you and you automatically feel at home and comfortable. Now, let's talk about Francis. HE IS PERFECT, AMAZING, WONDERFUL, SWEET, CARING, SUPPORTIVE, FUNNY, CHARISMATIC, ok I could go on lol. Francis (and Chris) were pure perfection on our day. They listened to everything we wanted on the day of the wedding and made sure to capture whatever it was. For example, our wedding was at VIP Country Club in New Rochelle and I wanted a shot of me and my husband sitting on the steps in the front to show off my sneakers. If you know VIP you know they have a beautiful fountain. To get the shot, poor Francis sat on the ground that was wet, just to get the shot. That's what you call commitment. Not only, is the whole team amazing, they literally will work with you on your budget. If there's something you want, but don't see they'll do it, if there's something you don't want they'll take it out of the package. This is who you want for your wedding. Period. End of story!

nd what we wanted. The photos are unreal. Highly recommend!

t all easy. They blended in and made our families and friends feel comfortable too and they got beautiful shots that we will treasure always. Best advise they gave was to complete as many posed photos before the ceremony/reception. This made it so much easier so we could enjoy our reception too. They also made sure they got every shot that was on our list or at least reminded us to try to get the shot! I would highly recommend them! They were so professional and just really wonderful.

that worked best for us and they were always so responsive to questions/emails leading up to the wedding. As soon as Jesse & team arrived, I felt like I was in the best hands - they made me feel so comfortable right away. They are super creative - I couldn't believe some of the shots we got when I saw them! We've received countless compliments from our family/friends/guests on the photos/video - the quality is truly unmatched. We had Jesse as our photographer and Asi as our videographer (and two assistants) - I'm so appreciative of the experience they provided, they really helped make our day extra special and better than we could've ever imagined. I absolutely / highly recommend using Jesse & team - it's worth every penny!! Thank you Jesse, Asi & team for an AMAZING day!!

important to note that at that time, I was not engaged or planning a wedding. Once my fiance and I set the date & had the venue confirmed, Jesse was my first call! Our wedding day was truly amazing in every sense of the word and Jesse & his team do everything they can to make you feel well taken care of...scratch that, they make you feel like you're a celebrity! We had Jesse as our lead photographer, Francis as our second photographer & Ryan as our lead videographer (plus two helpers). They're creative and thoughtful in each of their shots and you can tell they honestly care about doing a killer job. We've worked with a few other members of their team this year that also deserve a shout out! Maria, the studio manager, is a great communicator and made the entire process so seamless & easy. And Mark shot at our engagement party and was just as professional, knowledgeable & great as the rest of the photographers. If you can book Jesse Rink Photography, BOOK THEM!

get some beautiful natural Photos. They also knew the love we had for our dogs and they did an amazing job of getting them involved in the photos to help create memories for us to last forever. They sent us our photo gallery within days and kept us in the loop every step of the way. I would highly recommend them to anyone

r entire covid postponed engagement. They are extremely professional and masters at what they do. Within a week of our wedding we already received a recap album with 100 photos to start, and a highlight and trailer video film. I have received so many compliments about how stunning our photos and videos are and the compliments from actual wedding guests include how impressed they were watching the team the day of as well. If you are on the fence about including an engagement shoot or videography, DO IT! The engagement shoot helps you to get to know them so you’re more comfortable the day of the wedding and have already worked together. As for the videography, Ryan is amazing at what he does and him and Jesse work hand in hand together. They work spot on together so seamlessly. It was important to me that the photo and video team were from the same company for this very reason. We did the full team with Francis and Asi as second shooters as well. I cannot recommend this company enough, they are worth every penny. They captured our day beautifully and we will cherish these photos and videos forever!

very detail. Our engagement photos were beautiful! We received so many compliments. Francis went above and beyond what was asked of him. We sincerely appreciate how fast the team shared the photos with us. We can’t thank you guys enough – it was a pleasure working with you!

know your memories are as everlasting as your love, Jesse captures that and more. We got married in December which means you are limited on daylight as well as having weather conditions that hinder your choice of outdoor areas to take photos; Jesse took that challenge and really created the most amazing photos that we will cherish forever. We are having the most difficult time narrowing down the photos for our album because they are all simply stunning!! No words can describe how grateful we are.

I absolutely love our wedding photos. I would recommend this company 100%.

edible. His photos from our wedding are keepsakes for a lifetime and truly pieces of art. For as gorgeous as his photos are, Jesse and his team are even better to work with! Could not recommend enough.

iful. We could not have been luckier that they were available for our October 2020 wedding. Jesse was a pleasure to deal with and his wife Maria is truly amazing. She designed our album and I could not thank her enough. We had Joe as our lead and Francis assisting. They were both so great. Joe planned such amazing shots with water reflection that we will swoon over forever. I cannot thank the whole team enough!!!

ler he put together for us and the final product of our wedding video was absolutely beautiful! Also, he brought a great energy to the day and was fun to work with! I would highly recommend working with Ryan and the Jesse Rinka team overall.

rk with. They were incredibly professional and well-prepared; they arrived an hour before our start time to set-up. The Jesse Rinka Photography team approached each shot with enthusiasm, knew exactly what to say to make us smile (and laugh) for the camera, and made sure our "wishlist" shots were taken. We had such an enjoyable time working with them. We highly recommend hiring this team to capture your special day!

ortable when making decisions like choosing someone to capture the most important day of your life. We decided to do photography and video with Jesse and Ryan and we were not disappointed. From our engagement shoot to the wedding day they both made us feel like we were family! They are genuine and passionate about what they do and we could not be happier. The images they capture are just amazing and I have absolutely nothing but good things to say. We are forever grateful that they were apart of our day and we will definitely be using them for all of our events in the future!

we literally sat in front of the computer for hours just reliving the night. Not only were the photos extremely high quality but they made you feel like you were right back in the moment of the day. Also during the process him and his team were so fun to be with. They made everyone feel so comfortable! If you need a photographer for your wedding I highly recommend Jesse!!

t (and wife) Maria with us!😉 Everything was perfect!! They are so easy to work with, make everyone comfortable, and are super professional! Jesse always makes sure to capture his couples as they are and make each wedding personalized - no cookie-cutter photos from him! Thank you for being AMAZING!! We can't wait to see more photos and do the album with them when it's time🥰

sse we decided we didn't have to meet with anyone else! We had an amazing engagement shoot a year before our wedding in Little Italy and Jesse made my husband and I feel so comfortable taking photos around the busy streets of NYC. The photos and video he made for us came out so good we couldn't wait to see what he would do for our wedding day! Our wedding was almost 3 weeks ago and the photos are GORGEOUS!! I also have to shout out Ryan, Jesse's lead cinematographer, for his amazing job on our wedding recap video! My husband and I both cried watching it! Jesse and his team not only do amazing work - they are the kindest, most genuine and down to earth people to work with. We couldn't be happier to have had Jesse on our wedding day!

r shoot had to be under the Bethesda Terrace in Central Park, and all I can say is wow. He really did not let the rain get in the way of the shoot. Our pictures are incredible. I wish I could attach some of the pictures here. I am looking forward to seeing the magic he works for our wedding! Jesse you really outdone yourself! Thank you!

before we contacted him for a meeting thinking that our wedding might be too small for him. From the moment we finally contacted him straight through to viewing our proofs, he was amazing! He captured every special moment including my youngest granddaughter/flower girl sitting on the floor behind the Minister playing with the fake snow in her basket. Our wedding day was a very special day since we had been high school sweethearts that reconnected almost 40 years later and we can’t thank Jesse and Maria enough for capturing the blending of our families in such a beautiful and touching way.

contract: I had tons of questions regarding the contract that this studio sent me. I was initially worried that I would appear too difficult to work with and that they may change their mind about working with me. But Maria (studio manager) is a true professional and answered all of my questions and we discussed in detail all of my concerns. This is the reason i felt comfortable moving forward with this studio. After signing the contract, I had several phone calls with Maria regarding the proposed schedule and the time I should allot for photos for each portion of the wedding (ex. family portraits, first look, etc). She listened and gave her opinion based on her experience and it was incredibly helpful to me. Day of the Wedding: I met Jesse Rinka (the photographer) for the first time on the day of the wedding (because I live in DC), and he, like Maria, was very professional. He also has a relaxing presence and is very easy to work with. The photos he took are absolutely stunning and breathtaking. I love all the photos so much that I am having a hard time narrowing down which photos to select for the hardcopy album. The online gallery is provided 60 day after the wedding date, but they still shared a few photos with me within 1-2 weeks so that I could make thank you notes. This is a great photographer and his studio truly goes the extra mile.

rofessional, incredibly accommodating, very well equipped, and they made us feel very comfortable. From the engagement session to the wedding day photos, Jesse and his team nailed it in a creative way that you have to see to believe! They are by far the best around and we are so grateful that they were a part of our special day!!!

and easy to work with. They made every step of the process fun and easy. We did our engagement shoot in Central Park. Jesse got the most amazing shots which we used for the wedding venue. The day of the wedding came and it was even more amazing. We had some great locations and their team took full advantage. Super creative!!! We can’t wait to see our pics/video. We got some sneak peeks of both and so far we are super impressed. PS...get the drone for video. Totally worth the money. you would be crazy not to use these guys!!

that we will cherish forever. He and his team are extremely professional and creative!

h Jesse and lead videographer Ryan we knew we had to book them. Their work is unbelievable. Jesse showed us a bunch of albums of his work and Ryan shared his sample videos with us and we were amazed that we booked ASAP and we were so happy we did!!! Jesse’s wife Maria was phenomenal throughout the whole process. She answered any questions we had promptly and with such charm. The day of my wedding Jesse, Ryan and team showed up promptly and started to work their magic. They were so much fun to be around my whole family loved them! Their turn around time for video and photos are so quick! Let’s just say one of my friends is still waiting on photos and her wedding whi h was a month before mine. I highly recommend Jesse Rinka and definitely will use him again with future projects!

ography for my two best friends wedding and I knew when I got engaged he was going to be my photographer without a doubt!! On my wedding day, Jesse, Ryan and their team were on time, very professional and super patient. The pictures and videos came out absolutely incredible!!! His team captured our magical day and all the perfect little details ! I’m so glad I’ll have these amazing pictures and videos forever ! I HIGHLY recommend Jesse, Ryan and their team!!

we will cherish for a lifetime. Thank you Jesse and Team!!

our relationship, which was so different then any other photographer we had met with prior to, making us feel very comfortable. Very accommodating and super friendly! Everything from our engagement shoot to our wedding day pictures came out absolutely beautiful! Jesse and his crew captured every detail beautifully. We also received our pictures so quickly! Our only gripe is that we had a hard time picking pictures to print because we loved them all!! We 100% recommend Jesse to anyone looking for an amazingly talented photographer!

us to provide services for our church ceremony which took place on a separate day. We are so happy with the final products and just when we thought we were done.. we got our wedding albums! Amazing! Between the presentation to the quality of the product, we are so happy. Pick Jesse and you will not be disappointed!!

came I wanted to book him. I did not look at any other photographers and when he was available for our date I didn't think twice. My husband and I booked him almost two years early because we knew he wouldn't be available too long. From the first meeting, to engagement session and then the wedding we had no issues. He always made me feel relieved about the day even when our timeline kept getting changed. When our wedding day finally came Jesse and his assistant Jeremy did a great job keeping me calm, laughing and of course smiling(which I kept forgetting to do lol). As the day went on Jesse captured the best memories. Every time I look at my pictures I just stare at them with such joy knowing I will always have these to look back on. We are beyond happy that we chose Jesse and every picture is better than the next. We can not thank him and his crew enough!

ank you enough for capturing our journey so perfectly. We were so lucky to have found such an amazing photographer. So much fun to work with and had absolutely no worries at all. Our photos are stunning and we have received countless compliments. Highly, highly recommended and we will definitely be working with him in the future!

sure we were making the right decision. Jesse patiently answered all of our questions and helped us to develop our wedding schedule, which seemed to be a very daunting task at the time, with ease. Jesse is professional, responsive, and a pleasure to work with. We had to reschedule our engagement session due to unforeseen circumstances, but Jesse went out of his way to accommodate us. Jesse and his assistant Jeremy met us for a sunrise engagement session very early in the morning after working a wedding the night before. My husband and I couldn’t believe how beautiful our engagement pictures turned out, and it was no different for our wedding photos. On our wedding day, Jesse and his team arrived on time, were a very calming presence, and perfectly captured every moment of the day. Ryan did an amazing job with our wedding video and we are so glad we decided to go with him as our videographer. He made my husband and I both feel very comfortable in front of the camera and turned our special day into an incredible video that we have been able to share with family and friends. Jesse Rinka Photography was one of our favorite wedding vendors and the best decision we could have made for our wedding photos and video.

so glad we did! Posing for photos make me feel very awkward, and he did a great job at making my husband and I feel comfortable and was able to get great shots! All of photos we received are AMAZING. Our friends and family have been raving about them, and we have been having such a hard time narrowing down our favorites for the album. I would 100% recommend Jesse to all of the brides out there!

ue ! He is so easy to work with, patient, and professional. We even got compliments from our venue on him and his team! Jesse, Jeremy, Ryan and the rest of his team made us feel so comfortable the entire day. It truly made everything that much easier and stress free. Our pictures are absolutely perfect. Out wedding video from Ryan is just as amazing! I cannot thank you enough!!!!
