I could go on and on about how wonderful Jess was to work with. She was extremely organized and communicative throughout the wedding planning process. She had not shot in one of our wedding venues before and made a point to do research and prepare for it in advance. It was a wonderful mix of Jess bringing her expertise and also listening and understanding what we wanted out of our photography. The day of, she was prompt and patient with us as it took us a bit to warm up to the camera. Her gentle suggestions/guidance about where to stand/how to position ourselves throughout the day really helped improve the final product. And the final album was even better than we could have expected; she captured all the best moments of the day and then some. Cannot recommend Jess enough!
A huge thank you to Jess for all her amazing work throughout our wedding journey—from the engagement shoot in the spring to our wedding weekend in Hudson. She truly captured the essence of every moment, and her kindness and thoughtfulness went beyond photography. Whether it was offering help outside of her role or simply being a calming presence, she made everything feel effortless and ensured everything was perfect.
Her professionalism and attention to detail were top-notch, and we couldn’t be happier with how the photos turned out. We’ve already framed a bunch of them! Jess made us feel so comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process, and her positive energy was contagious.
If you’re looking for a photographer who is not only incredibly talented but also a joy to work with, we highly recommend Jess!
Jess was a phenomenal photographer for our wedding. She was super organized and kept us on track to make sure we captured all of the photos we wanted. She had a very warm, calming presence, which was very appreciated on a hectic day! Before the wedding, we met a couple of times via Zoom to get to know each other and to discuss what we were looking for. She arrived at the venue early to scope out the perfect spots for some of our pictures. Jess helped make our day so special, and we would definitely work with her again!
Jess is just incredible! Professional, tasteful and so lovely to work with. She could be a wedding planner in her next life - she's so incredibly organized and smart when it came to making sure everything went to plan.
About 10 minutes before my ceremony I realized that I had forgotten to make a bouquet and Jess ran around the house collecting flowers to fashion one. She had corsage pins on hand and we used ribbon from one of the flower girl baskets - she's a GEM.
If you want gorgeous photos and a photographer who will see your vision, hire Jess. You won't be sorry.
Absolutely incredible - is not only an incredible photographer, but so helpful in so many ways - we were so clueless on what to do / how to handle a small backyard wedding - Jessica was calm, cool and collected. She helped us with a ton of little touches that made everything more special and was incredibly patient with us. The photos are STUNNING. I cannot recommend her enough.
Jess was the best photographer we could have asked for!! She was very personable and easy to talk to. Whatever we requested, she delivered and then some!! She made the wedding planning process so much easier for me as well, helping me along the way with whatever questions I had. She took so many amazing pictures for us and they were edited to perfection!! Could not recommend Jessica Gregg enough! Will definitely be booking more photo sessions with her in the future!!
We really enjoyed working with Jess. Communication was great from the very beginning of the process and her level of organization made the whole process seamless. We’re very happy with how everything turned out!
We had to book Jessica almost last minute due to problems with our original photographer. Let’s just say it was the best decision we made. She is VERY easy to work with, fun and energetic. She works with you with payments and timelines.
She works very well with the other vendors. I had guests say they didn’t even realize she was there (a good thing) and she obtained beautiful shots for us.
Jess is an absolute gem! Her professionalism and warmth made us feel at ease in front of the camera, resulting in beautifully captured moments that truly reflect the love and beauty of our day. She dedicated ample time to ensure she captured every detail and every person involved. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer, wedding or otherwise.
My husband and I were lucky enough to have Jess photograph our wedding in October and we can’t recommend her highly enough! Jess was organized, thorough and communicated efficiently leading up to the wedding. She helped us create a timeline that worked perfectly for our wedding day and we were able to get all of the photos with family and friends and still make it to the cocktail hour! She was such a fun and positive person to be around and made two people who are usually awkward in front of the camera feel relaxed and have so much fun! We felt so comfortable and at ease with Jess!! We love our photos so much and would book her again in a heartbeat!
If you are looking for a photographer that will not only deliver amazing photos but is also a joy to be around, book Jess! From our first call we knew we wanted to have her as our photographer. She was prepared and walked us through her portfolio highlighting photos from our venue and suggesting taking photos during golden hour on the hilltop overlooking the Hudson Valley. She answered all of our questions and was transparent about costs and expectations. We booked an engagement session as we were both very nervous about getting our pictures taken. Jess eased those feelings and made us feel comfortable and confident. Highly recommend doing this if you feel similarly!
Throughout the planning process, Jess was very accessible via phone and email and offered helpful recommendations on how to make our day picture perfect. On our wedding day, she was a rockstar capturing so many pictures without us even realizing she was there. We appreciated her calm demeanor while also advocating for us to ensure we got the most out of our day. Our guests raved to us about Jess being a great photographer and she was able to get so many shots efficiently with helpful direction. The wedding day photos ended up being absolutely amazing. We love the final product and the romantic dreamy feel was exactly what we were looking for. She also has a user friendly online portal that organizes the photos into categories with options to favorite or make private photos. We highly recommend Jess Gregg Photography!
Jessica was so so so wonderful! We had her do both our engagement and wedding photos and my husband and I are floored at the quality and how quickly she delivered both sets. She made us feel comfortable in front of a camera which is not our strong suit and everyone in our wedding party loved her. I highly recommend Jess - she was quick to respond, flexible with changing engagement shoot dates due to weather, and made the wedding day so much easier and fun!
We are so happy we chose to work with Jess for our wedding reception in June of 2023 at the Pruyn House. We initially chose her after sifting through many Capital Region photographers because her photos had an artistic flair to them, they were romantic without being cheesy, and they were visually interesting. After having worked with her, I can say we were blown away with how organized she was, communicating with us every step of the way, from Zoom meetings months ahead of time and then a few check-ins getting closer, and her efficiency is next level. We’re also pretty awkward in front of a camera but she made posing fun. She understood family dynamics and we made a list of people we needed photos of which she was able to provide for us. What we (and our families!) were so impressed with on the day of was that she was able to gently borrow us, friends, and family members to take our requested group photos SO quickly and efficiently, and without disrupting any of the party. We are beyond thankful for all of our photos and the memories of that night and are so happy we went with Jess.
My husband and I both absolutely loved working with Jess! We opted to do a last minute engagement shoot two months before the wedding and Jess was about to accommodate with no issue. She captured so many great shots of our wedding day and made us both feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We can’t wait to see our wedding video! I would love to work with her again for any events or milestones we want professional pictures for!! Thank you Jess!! :)
I feel so lucky to have found Jess and to have chosen her to photograph our wedding day. From the very beginning she was responsive, organized, and extremely professional. She answered all of my questions in a timely manner and allowed for an open line of communication throughout the planning process. Jess was incredibly receptive to my vision for our photos, and even pulled up the Pinterest mood board I had made for her at the wedding to make sure she was getting they types of shots we requested. She arrived early the day of the wedding to begin setting up and taking photos and was incredibly personable and friendly with just the right amount of direction and bossiness when it came to wrangling large groups for photos. I can not recommend Jess enough, she captured so many incredible moments that I will never forget, and was such a kind soul to be around on such an important day. If you're in need of a sign to stop shopping around for photographers, this is it! Book Jess!
Jess was amazing from start to finish! We had interviewed a handful of photographers and we could just tell from Jess’s caring nature that she was right for us. Even over a year out from our wedding, during our first meeting she was figuring out our timeline for photographs and how much sunlight we would have. That right there showed me how much she cared for her clients. Every penny was worth it - and she will have my future business as well! Aside from Jess’s professional character, her personality is unmatched. Jess lights up a room when she’s there, always with a smile on her face that you can spot a mile away! I would 1,000% recommend her to everyone. You will not be sorry!!!
Fate led us to Jess and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect person to capture our wedding day. Right after our first phone call together, I turned to my now husband and said, "She's cool. She's the one." I knew right then that she was the person I wanted to photograph my wedding, because she's someone I would get along with outside of the wedding world. From start to finish, she was the perfect combination of professional, organized, calm, energetic, and fun. She let us bring our puppy to our engagement photoshoot, which is an immediate 5 stars in my book. On our wedding day, she kept us relaxed, on schedule, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the entire night. She turned around our photos right on time, with a stunning sneak peak on social media, and they are beyond beautiful. Every last portrait of us, family, and friends came out beyond our expectations. We told her we wanted to prioritize the candid moments; the little things we may forget, and the moments we may not have realized were even happening and SHE DELIVERED. It's easy to forget everything that goes on during your wedding day because of how fast everything goes and obviously, that "just married" bliss, but with a photographer like Jess, you don't have to worry about letting those memories slip away. She truly captured the vibe of the entire day. We are forever grateful to her for providing us with beautiful forever memories that we will cherish for a lifetime.
Jess is awesome, plain and simple. She is a true pro with the best attitude and the perfect balance you want in your wedding photographer: she has such cool, calm, collected energy while being super buttoned up and professional. Leading up to the wedding she was communicative and collaborative, reassuring and positive, and on the day she was sharp, funny, wonderful at putting us at ease, and she knew exactly what moves to make and when, what to prioritize and how to get the shots that mattered. There were so many moving parts to our day and she stayed on top of it all like a breeze. And the final photos. Oh my goodness. Just so incredibly stunning. She captured our vibes, our colors, our vision, and the most beautiful moments between us and our loved ones that we'll cherish forever. So fast, skilled and efficient on turning around her work, with gorgeous sneak peeks on social in record time and our full gallery in just two weeks without missing a beat. You cannot go wrong hiring Jess!!!
We are so glad to have worked with Jess for our wedding! She did both our videography and photography. She and her assistant, Sabrina, were both wonderful to work with. Jess was available for any help leading up to our wedding, and she and Sabrina both brought a calming energy to our wedding day. Our photos have been beyond beautiful. Jess’ photography style is exactly what we’d been hoping for! Photography was the most important thing to me and Jess exceeded our expectations.
We absolutely can’t recommend Jess enough to anyone, and we hope to work with her again in the future!
Please hire Jess! She was absolutely fantastic every step of the way. We had an engagement shoot with her a few months before our wedding which was a great way to break the ice. My husband and I don't have much experience in front of the camera, but Jess had us laughing and feeling natural the whole time.
For our actual wedding day, Jess knew that we wanted great photos but also really wanted to spend time with our guests. She was so efficient in taking pictures that day but still managed to capture absolutely perfect light and gave us photos we'll treasure with all of our favorite people. I tend to not have the most natural smile in photos either, but every picture that Jess captured made my husband and I look phenomenal. She was super on top of our wedding timeline as well, and we were able to start and end every part of our day on time.
Jess was also incredibly efficient with getting the photos back to us - we got our engagement and wedding photos in record time with so many compliments from friends and family! Could not recommend Jess more highly to anyone looking for an amazing keepsake from their wedding. Thank you Jess!
I have known Jess as a person for probably as long as I've been alive, but knowing Jess as a photographer is an entirely different experience. I've booked 7 shoots with Jess from our wedding to family holiday cards to boudoir for an anniversary gift. Each experience she made us feel special and completely at ease while she was shooting. It's not always easy to get my husband and son to open up and genuinely smile for pictures, but Jess did it with ease after only having known them for minutes. She's meticulous and captures details I wouldn't have even thought to look for in person, and the end product is stunning photographs that I have and will treasure throughout the years. If you need someone to help you every step of the way, she has the experience and knowledge to guide you. If you have a specific vision that you're trying to capture, she somehow makes it more magical than the vision in your head. I can never recommend her enough, and I can't wait for our next shoot together :)
Fiances, you should stop searching right now and just hire Jess. She was beyond amazing through the entire process: charming, supportive and understanding from the first zoom to the last photo. Every moment was somehow captured and beautifully delivered. Other than my now husband, she was the best wedding decision I made.
Jess coaxed smiles out of everyone, gently nudged me into taking (needed!) bride breaks, joked us through the family portrait line, and, perhaps best: was phenomenal with my kid. She was unobtrusive but ever present: whenever I turned to say, "Could you...?" she was there to take the photo. She even finished my braided up-do when my sister got stuck, and it was gorgeous.
For those doing their own planning (we got married at my parents' house): the photography schedule of the day she created became the backbone of the whole wedding. I had no idea what I was doing, and she was always ready with an email answer or suggestion. Her lists helped me make my lists.
I chose her originally because the couples in her portfolio looked incredibly happy and beautiful, glowing in a way that seemed achievable even for little-old-me. Throughout the super-stress process of planning the wedding, those couples' photos were a calming touchstone that yes, I would also be happy and beautiful, that my wedding was a dream that was actually possible. It was, and I was, with many thanks to Jess. And I have hundreds of gorgeous photos to prove it!
Jessica Gregg- there are truly no words. She was our superhero for our wedding last weekend! The night before our wedding at 10pm our videographer cancelled on us. We were fortunate enough to turn to Jessica who we hired to be our photographer and she jumped in saying she could also do our video. Legit life saving! We have already received some preview shots and a video teaser and they are all stunning. Jess has been helpful from the moment we had our first meeting, is extremely organized and was receptive to our wants and needs. She is easy to work with especially when my husband and I feel awkward in front of the camera. Our preview photos are remarkable, she has a beautiful eye and her work speaks for itself. I couldn't recommend Jess more. Photos and video were a huge part of our day and she is top notch.
You know how they say there is a difference between smiling for the photo and smiling in the photo? Well Jess knows how to make you smile - and shine - in your photos. Jess was an absolute pleasure to work with and was a huge part of our wedding. And our photos are just gorgeous! We will love them for years to come. From start to finish Jess was just the best.
Jess has been an absolute dream to work with. From our first Skype chat, to the day of our wedding she was super professional and organized down to the very last detail. On our wedding day she arrived half hour early and got straight to work with some detail shots. Without previously meeting in person I was a little nervous, but from the moment Jess entered the room I knew I was in great hands. Her experience and talent as a photographer go above and beyond the pictures. She was there to help the boys get pinned with their boutonnieres, and gather family members for a big group photo. There was never an awkward moment to get the right shot...Jess made it easy to be ourselves and she made me and my husband really enjoy the process. We're so happy with the results! Highly recommend if you're looking for a photographer for any special occasion. Thanks for everything Jess!!
Words cannot describe how wonderful it was to work with Jess! From the first time we talked with her, we knew that she was the right fit for us -- she instantly made us feel comfortable and calm. Jess not only is an incredible photographer, but she has a wealth of knowledge about wedding planning and she was kind enough to give us lots of advice! She referred us to other vendors, including our hair and makeup artists and florist, and her help was invaluable. On the wedding day, she made our day much easier, and we loved laughing with her throughout the night. When we received the photos we were stunned at how perfect they were. Thank you Jess!
Where do we start… People don’t get much sweeter or easier to work with than Jess. At our engagement shoot, Jess went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable and spent double the amount of time with us than originally planned to make sure we all got to know each other. Being a same-sex couple, we were originally nervous about finding a photographer who understood us as people and as a couple. A few minutes after meeting Jess, we knew we were in the best hands possible. Jess was interested in getting to know us, and that came through in our photos. Jess has an incredibly artistic vision and style that we were immediately attracted to, while also bringing a classic lens to wedding photos - we had an amazing variety of pictures to enjoy and will marvel at for the rest of our lives. Jess was a great asset to our vendor team, and kept us all organized to ensure we got the shots we wanted (and provided our final photos to us in amazing time!). The most important thing we can say about Jess is that she paid attention… She heard what we wanted, she listened to us and those around us, and captured so many special moments that we will cherish for a lifetime.
Jess was phenomenal to work with for our wedding. We’re a queer, nontraditional couple with a dark, moody wedding theme primarily interested in capturing details and candid shots, and Jess is absolutely a master of her craft. Not only did we feel extremely comfortable with her, we are blown away by the photos and couldn’t have asked for better. Thank you for being such an important part of our day!
Jess was amazing to work with. She made this whole process so easy in what can be a very stressful time. She reached out numerous times throughout the process and I truly felt like she was invested in getting to know us as a couple and capturing our special day. Her communication skills were great and she was so easy to work with. Neither my husband nor I are "picture people" and don't love to be the center of attention, she made us feel so at ease. Her pictures came out beautifully, the lighting and colors, and the special moments she elicited and captured are perfect.
Jess is incredible. There is no better way to start this.
Jess was the first, last and only photographer my wife and I spoke with and from our very first conversation we knew we had to make it work with her. There was an instant connection - it felt like we'd known Jess for years.
Going into the planning process, my wife and I didn't really know what we were doing and Jess was so chill about everything. We felt like she was with us every step of the way, she handled us with kindness, patience and understanding. Jess made the whole experience feel a lot less daunting. She hoped on zoom calls to help us through every little detail of the day and made sure we got everything we were looking for.
The actual day of the wedding felt so crazy & again, Jess was just so chill about everything. It literally felt like she was apart of our friend group. We like to think we have a crazy bunch of friends and none of them phased Jess at all, she was so fun to work with.
We got so many compliments about Jess the entire night and are still continuing to receive them.
My wife and I feel like we are pretty awkward people so there were definitely a few nerves when it came to picture taking. Jess made us feel so comfortable and kept us laughing the entire time, the pictures that we've seen came out INCREDIBLE. We love them. We look at them every day. We can not wait to see the rest of them.
We loved working with Jess, and we are trying to come up with reasons to have to hire her again!
Jess is truly so talented. We last minute decided to get some engagement photos. She was so accommodating and so easy to work with. Absolutely thrilled with how our snowy day engagement photos turned out.
Jess was a dream to work with. I was an overthinking bride trying my best not to micromanage everyone, and I was able to put the spreadsheet down and truly enjoy the day because Jess was so organized and three steps ahead. She provided great communication leading up to the wedding, and worked with all of our Covid precautions without hesitation. My husband and I are pretty awkward in front of a camera, but Jess kept us laughing and relaxed and our photos came out so naturally beautiful. I highly recommend her services to any future couples!
Jess is awesome! She is so comfortable to be around, and great to work with! She captured amazing photos of us for our engagement and even better for our wedding day! We cant wait to do some family photos with her again soon!
Jessica is absolutely the best. From our first meeting to the wedding itself, she was on top of everything. She was so attentive to detail throughout the entire process. She made us feel comfortable and confident, and we had such a fun time while doing it. If I had to do it all again, of course I would pick Jessica. She bends over backwards and goes above and beyond the call of duty of a photographer, bringing extra expertise to help your day run as smooth as possible.
Jess is amazing at what she does! We hired Jess as our photographer for our wedding; she showed up early and started taking photos right away! She was relaxed and calm throughout the whole day and helped to calm my nerves while making sure I ate and drank (which I kept forgetting to do)! I didn’t have an idea of where to take our ‘first look’ photos and she had found a spot on a path in the woods that I didn’t even know was there! She gave us direction on how to pose when we needed it, but still let us be ourselves and I think you can see that in the amazing photos she captured! She was an absolute pleasure to work with and she went above and beyond to help the day flow smoothly. Jess just sent us the photos from our special day and we were BLOWN AWAY! Every single photo she captured (and there are many) are gorgeous!! We couldn’t be happier and we are excited to work with Jess in the future!! Thank you, Jess, for making our big day that much better!
Where do I begin?! Working with Jess was an absolute dream. She has a very chill and calming energy that is exactly what every bride (and groom) need on their wedding day. She arrived early and kindly helped me wire my flower hair piece to my veil (!!) while still managing to capture EVERY special moment of us getting ready.
She is a TRUE artist, she sees what most people overlook. The lighting, the details, the amazing composition of all of her shots. We are BLOWN AWAY by our wedding pictures, they are truly spectacular and way better than anything we could've imagined.
I can't wait for my next excuse to book her for another shoot!!
If you are contemplating booking her for your wedding/engagement/baby photos or whatever it may be, this is your sign, BOOK HER!! She will blow you away with her skills, attention to detail, kindness and generosity, and all over she's just an awesome human.
Thank you Jess!!!
My husband and I had a somewhat alternative wedding in a non traditional venue with tons of DIY details, live music and a large guest list. We knew we did not want a photographer who was in our faces and only focused on portraits and groups but who would capture the unique details and personality of us and the event. Jessica not only brought out artistic vision to fruition but she put us all at ease and felt like a part of the family. She truly captured our vision and energy and captured special moments that I surely would have missed in the chaos of the day.
Jessica was absolutely amazing! She was so good with my kids and including them. She got all the shots we wanted and we loved all the pictures!
