Jesse Rinka Photography

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.

hey 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!!!

nd 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!!

fessional and creative!

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!

gaged 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!!

pher 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!

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!!

phers 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!

o 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!

d 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.

nd 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!

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!!!!

he puts into his work. He captured so many beautiful moments from our wedding; he exceeded our expectations in capturing the details, the emotions, and the stories the photos from our wedding told. He worked diligently throughout the night to edit and put together a preview of some of the photos for our guests to see; we have received so many compliments on our photos! I will most definitely recommend Jesse and his team!

d, and things that were special to us. (No other photographer that we met with did that). Not only is Jesse's personality amazing, his work is even better. Our engagement shoot just so happened to be on the windiest and coldest day, and you would never know it from our pictures. He was extremely patient, and took the time to make sure our pictures were perfect and true to us as a couple. For our wedding day, Jesse was there every second capturing the most important moments. There is not one picture that we don't love. Jesse & his team even went to two post ceremony places so I could get pictures at a place very important to me & my family! We are constantly blown away every time we look at our pictures, and we know our wedding day wouldn't have been captured as perfectly without Jesse & his team!

a better photography team! Jesse knows how to capture the special moments while also making the photos unique for his clients and the event. His professionalism and passion for what he does is evident and he is able to handle whatever mother nature throws at him (our wedding day was hot and humid) and he has a great ability at managing large bridal parties! Jesse also took into consideration of all our photo requests such as family and group shots. His team took photos at all of the locations needed (at our homes getting ready, at church, our photo location at Untermyer Gardens, and our venue at Leonard's Palazzo.) My husband Jonathan and I can't wait to see how all of our photos will come together in the album! Jesse Rinka Photography offers packages for all for your needs and for many different occasions, and we can't wait to continue having Jesse and his team photograph our next milestones in the future!

Jesse!"

e process so comfortable. From our engagement shoot to wedding photos, we were completely blown away at what Jesse had imagined and produced. His photography is creative and romantic and definitely stands out above the rest. We have received so many compliments from our wedding day on how impressive our photography and videography team was and it surely reflected in the photos. (Note: We’ve been married for 23 days as of today and already have our entire wedding collection - what a turn around!!) As your wedding day goes by in a flash, it is comforting to know that every perfect moment was captured and that’s all thanks to Jesse and his team.

lives with these stunning photos.

ere great with using their own ideas and experience to capture our day absolutely perfectly. Anyone who is getting engaged and reading this, you only need to make one call for your photos and video and that is to Jesse and his team. Not even 12 hours after our wedding I woke up to an email of a "teaser" with photos-some would think a teaser would be 15-20 photos right? Nope, not with Jesse, try about 105 photos!! The rest of our photos came in about 3 weeks a later and our video from Ryan was very shortly there after. Everything they touched was perfect. Jesse, Ryan and team, I cannot thank you enough for making our day so special and memorable.

as well. Thank you so much for everything! We love you guys!

our engagement pictures so I couldn’t even image what our wedding photos would look like. The day began with Jesse arriving to our hotel with Jeremy (the same dynamic duo that did our engagement photos) with another shooter at the grooms location. As soon as Jesse and his team arrived I knew it was show time! They did such a great job dealing with the small hotel room that had a hair & makeup team of 3, 8 bridesmaids, and a bunch of family members. The shots taken in the room were beautiful, you’d never even notice we were in a hotel – also the shots Jesse got in the lobby were breathtaking. From the moment of the first photo when I was getting my makeup done, to the very last shot at the end of the night, every single photo was completely perfect! Not to mention the same day edits that Jesse had on screen for everyone to see during the reception. We took our photos in between church and cocktail hour at Bartow-Pel Mansion in Pelham – a suggestion by Jesse. These photos look like they belong in a magazine that’s how amazing they are. And to think all Jesse did was say “tilt your head an inch to the left” and just like that, a breathtaking photo. My husband hates taking photos and our bridal party was about 17 people large and every single photo is more perfect than the last – I don’t know how he does it. I can honestly say I’ve never seen myself look more beautiful, than in Jesse’s photos. The best part of every single picture is we look like us – we may look like models at times but that’s because Jesse is that good at what he does. I don’t even think he knows how good he is, let’s just put it that way because his work aside, he is such a nice human being and that’s what mattered most to us. Working with Jesse was nothing but fun, easy and relaxing and that’s all I could ask for on our most special day. I walked away with memories captured in the most beautiful way that make me feel that exact moment when I look at them. I couldn’t be happier!!!!

beautiful. We highly recommend them for your very special day. Thanks so much for capturing the love that we both share in such a beautiful way!

d a TON of questions throughout the process, but Jesse always made me feel comfortable whenever I reached out and he was always easily accessible! The day of, Jesse and his assistant, Jeremy, were so much fun to work with. They both have great personalities and work really well together. The day was also really hot and very sunny for an early October date, around 80 degrees. You can imagine running around in that heat on a very tight timeline could get uncomfortable, but both had smiles on their faces the entire time. Jesse’s turnaround time for getting us our photos was also unbelievably fast! We had them right as we returned from our honeymoon. I'll admit, my turnaround time for choosing the 70 I want for our wedding album is not as timely, but only because it’s just too hard when they’re all really good!! Tom and I would absolutely recommend Jesse Rinka Photography for any event !!! Jesse you went above and beyond and we can't thank you enough!!

of the photos when we got them and were very excited to share them with our friends. Probably the best way to describe it came from one of the older ladies at my knitting group: "That is one of the nicest, and most real looking/feeling wedding album I have seen in ages" You truly did an amazing job at capturing the fun and joy that happened that day, all of your photos felt very natural and turned out beautifully!

emy was also awesome to work with on both occasions. Jesse really listened to our likes such as sunsets, city vibes, and even my favorite picture side. Our save the date magnets were of great quality as well as our wedding thank yous-- we did not have to micromanage anything because we knew Jesse was the best. I show my photos to everyone and have them hanging around my desk at work! We would recommended Jesse Rinka 1000x and more!

er. It was the easiest and BEST decision we made. Jesse is incredibly talented, creative, patient, and so much fun to work with. What sets him apart from other photographers is how much he cares. He is passionate about what he does, and that is reflected in his beautiful pictures. Jesse captured every moment and every tiny detail in between. Jesse & his assistant Jeremy made us feel so comfortable and made the entire process such a breeze. Our pictures are absolutely breathtaking, and we could not be happier with them and the awesome experience!! We are forever grateful. Wedding planning is stressful enough, but picking a photographer is so, so easy. I have and will continue to recommend Jesse to all my friends & family. Thank you, Jesse!!

ich is why it was so important to me to have the RIGHT photographer. When I got engaged I was referred Jesse Rinka by a friend of mine and after viewing his work there was no question that he was going to be my photographer! I was lucky enough to have Jesse shot my engagement along with my wedding day pictures. From day one Jesse was very accommodating and responded quickly to my many many emails. He made my husband an I feel very relaxed and comfortable and gave amazing direction throughout the entire day. His turn around time for our pictures were Extremely FAST and absolutely breathtaking !!! I am forever grateful to have these amazing pictures to cherish for the next 100 years .

ding pictures. We will always refer him to our family members and friends . You will not regret choosing him !

th our engagement and wedding photos came out - and we couldn't agree more!! He perfectly captured all of the amazing moments of our day and went above and beyond! My husband and I could not be happier!

ictures came out. Jesse and his team are the best of the best. They made us feel so comfortable while we were taking our photos and even when we weren't. I'm so happy that we were fortunate to have Jesse capture the most important day of our lives. Thank you Jesse for making our day incredible!

or some amazing shots and thats an understatement. Pictures were the most important thing to me for my wedding. It rained on my wedding day, but I didn't notice. You see most photographers would have shown limitations at the sight of rain, but I kid you not Jesse and his team were flawless in their transitions for photos, they came out amazing and better than i could ever imagine. They not only were so skilled to have gotten amazing shots in the rain while my husband and I were strategically placed in dry spots, but they legit got wet and not fpr a second complained or even made me feel nervous for a second that my photos were ruined, they literally took control of the day and made it happen and itshowed in my photos. I love them. I love Jesse's work and because of him my perfect day was captured perfectly moment for moment and I will forever have that. Jesse Rinka Photography will forever be a staple in milestone moments I want captured "as is" ... perfect.

ioned. We can't stop looking at them! Thank you for being such an important part of the start of our lives together. We love him! And will defiantly be using him again!

he puts into his work. He captured so many beautiful moments from our wedding; he captured the details, the emotions, and the stories the photos from our wedding told. He worked diligently throughout the night to edit and put together a preview of some of the photos for our guests to see; we have received so many compliments on our photos! I will most definitely recommend Jesse and his team!

work. His pictures are beyond amazing and his albums are gorgeous

Jesse made us feel comfortable and at ease. He is a true artist and captured some amazing moments for us that we will always treasure. We could not be happier with our choice!
