I cannot even put it to words how amazing it is working with Terrie! She has photographed my elopement, wedding reception, and newborn family photos and each shoot is better than the last. Terrie has a knack for making you feel comfortable and ensuring the shoots are laid back and fun, while still capturing the perfect moments. My husband and I are so awkward when having our photo taken but you would never know it based on the photos that Terrie captures of us. She is a down to earth, easy to work with person and I will be looking for excuses to use her in the future. You will not be disappointed if you book Terrie for any of your photo needs!

Janelle Brooke Photography Inc 

5.0

St. James, NY
  • Photographer
  • Fine art style

The JBP Team is group of talented artists that all share in the same creative vision of wedding photography led by Janelle Brooke and Terrie Alfieri. Our goal is to provide unparalleled artistic imagery, personalized attention and overall, an exceptional experience to every couple we work with.

Throughout the last year and a half, Janelle has become not just our wedding photographer but a trusted confidant for all things wedding, a shoulder to lean on and a forever friend. That goes for Amy, too. No question has ever been too silly, no idea out of place. From the moment we met Janelle, she just made us feel SO comfortable (and surprisingly, posing for wedding photos with your soon to be spouse is not always the most natural thing). She has an eye for the beauty in simple moments but also knows how to to capture the dreamiest scenes. already knew that Janelle would have our backs, but especially on our wedding day, Janelle was the most calm and centered presence for me and was able to read my mind with just a look at her about what worked and what wasn’t working. But that is what you can expect from working with someone like Janelle- she understands you and makes dreams, truly come true. Because seeing even just our highlight photos this weekend was an experience I will never forget. They were beyond my wildest dreams and I will truly treasure them forever. What I will treasure more, though, is the memories we have of working with Janelle and her team, including Mary, our second shooter of the day, who was able to wrangle all of the groomsmen together and keep them excited and organized, and who also was capturing each and every single detail so beautifully; and Kevin, who was a very much welcome third-shooter who was our personal hype man throughout the entire day, as he was genuinely excited to be with us and was truly up for anything. Literally, the entire team went along with my crazy plea to go outside despite the fact that it was pouring the entire day, but there was a 10 minute block of sun that we chased and thank goodness we did. They also agreed to photograph us in the rain at the end of the night and those pictures, too, are just magical. This review could truly go on forever about how much we love Janelle and her team. If you are lucky enough to be able to book Janelle for your wedding day (or any life event), I promise that it will be the best decision you will make throughout your event planning. Full Stop. Thank you, Janelle, for everything!

I adore Nicole! I'm an indecisive bride and can't seem to know how i really want to look like, but Nicole is extremely patient with me, very sweet and very pleasant to work with. Very reliable from the start, from the hair/makeup trial, to changing the hairstyle that I want, and still made me look my most beautiful despite changing minds with the hairstyle that I ended up wanting. She's also very organized, giving me and the bridesmaids prep to-do things, and little goody bags so we look fresh throughout the day. Her team was awesome as well, very sweet and lovely, all my bridesmaids and my family looked stunning! And as a bride, can't rave enough at how I feel so confident and beautiful that day. Thank you, Nicole!! You're the best!

Awarded Best of Zola
I am a Filipino and so is my bridal party. I really needed someone who understood an Asian face. I also needed someone who could listen to me, my needs and those of my party to help us all look and feel our best. Rie delivered and more! From planning the day and on our trial, Rie was very kind, open to suggestions and creative when it came to my vision. She was patient to try out the different hair dos I wanted to sample. On the day, she amped up her talent and made me look even more beautiful than when she met me for a trial. Even my FIL thought so! You know it’s real when men notice! Haha. She also took care of my mother, who is hard to please, but was able to say good things about her hair and make up that same day too. Overall what a beautiful experience. I kind of want to get married again just to be able to redo the whole beautification and process! And of course that is only possible with Rie. Many thanks Rie!!! Pics from Nathalie Garcia

All I have to say is, if you need a fabulous and highly talented floral designer for all your needs, Rebecca and her team should definitely be your go-to(because she was definitely mine!) She did the flowers for my wedding; my bouquet, centerpieces and overall floral decorations came out so amazing, stunning and timeless! (I’m a highly meticulous person & perfectionist when it comes to anything.) I can be hard to please sometimes, but Rebecca was sweet, worked with me every step of the way and definitely exceeded all my expectations, that I highly recommend her to anyone & everyone whenever they are in search of a high-end floral designer. My guests absolutely loved the arrangements as well and couldn’t stop talking about them. And I loved her work so much, I even had her create the floral arrangements for my gender reveal and baby shower! Thank you so much Rebecca for making my floral dreams come true! She is like the Fairy Floral Godmother I never knew I needed, until I met her and Bibbity boppity boo! did her magic lmao! Book with Perla Fleur; you definitely won’t regret it! :D

When working on wedding planning, we knew right away that we wanted to use nectar& bloom for our florals. We wanted something fun, unique, and just not what you always see at most weddings in our area. Lisa and Ann Marie were amazing in their communication and breakdowns of what could work with our budget and venue space, and were very adaptable and helpful as changes came along the way! We had high expectations coming into our wedding day, but they were absolutely blown out of the park once we saw everything come to life! From my bridal bouquet to the AMAZING floral arch and centerpieces, we were absolutely thrilled with how bright, colorful, fun, and unique our florals were. Our guests are still raving about the flowers that we had, and I even sent out our flowers to be preserved so that I have this amazing piece of our day treasured forever. I would highly recommend using the n&b team for your wedding day; whether you are looking for something more traditional or going for something more unique and personalized, you are in great hands with Lisa and Ann Marie designing your dream day!!

I am typically a Type B person in my life, but when it came to our wedding day, I wanted everything to be exactly how I wanted it. This included researching quite literally hundreds of photographers. As a super DIY wedding, I wanted to be able to look back on our photos and be able to relive it without it feeling overly filtered or untrue to how it was in real life. When we came across Fireside Sparrow, not only did the style of photography stand out to us as authentic, but you could just feel that Stephanie was authentic as well. She and Steve fit our vibe perfectly leading up to and the day of our wedding.

Jeanine is absolutely in the right line of work. I have hired her for other weddings before but hiring her for my wedding was the best decision I made. She was so attentive, understanding of exactly what I needed and all around kind. I can’t recommend her enough!!

Madison Fender 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves St. James, NY

Madison incorporates her photojournalistic and editorial style with a laid back approach so you can enjoy every second of your wedding without the added pressure of staged memories (I mean some things have to be posed but we make it fun). She makes sure your day runs smoothly while capturing real, raw moments and makes the photo part "quick and painless" so you can get back to your family and friends to enjoy every detail put in to your event. We specialize in naturally lit and low lit weddings. Flash photography and studio lighting are used as necessary to create clean, artsy images.

Madison is the BEST! The second we met her and saw her in action, her insane natural talent and passion was so clear. As someone who does not love getting my photo taken, she made me feel so comfortable in front of the camera and I had so much fun taking our wedding photos. We are absolutely thrilled with the results and feel they are all pieces if art that will forever document the best day of our lives. Her presence and energy brought a chill vibe to the day. She had so many creative ideas for places to shoot that made the photos feel unique and special while capturing the vibe of our day so perfectly. Aside from the photos, Madison was super easy to work with, very accessible, straight to the point, and never gave us the runaround like other wedding vendors sometimes can. If you’re thinking of booking with Madison - do it, you won’t regret it!
