We can’t say enough wonderful things about working with Jesse! From our very first call, he made us feel completely comfortable. Jesse brought such a creative eye to both our engagement shoot and wedding day, finding unique spots that led to the most beautiful photos. On our wedding day, he kept everything running smoothly with a thoughtful timeline and captured not just us but our family and friends so authentically.

When we received our gallery, we were completely blown away and our family and friends have been just as impressed. Jesse is incredibly talented, kind, and professional. We are so grateful we got to work with him and can’t recommend him highly enough.

Jesse’s amazing photography speaks for itself, but we want everyone to know how thrilled we were to have him capture our wedding. From the very beginning, Jesse understood our vision and carefully guided us through the overwhelming number of options and expectations, making the whole process feel manageable. His sense of humor stood out right away and continued to shine on the wedding day. He cracked jokes with us and our wedding party, easing our nerves and making even the most camera-shy among us feel comfortable.

One of our favorite parts of the day was stepping away from the festivities during golden hour to capture some extra couple shots. Jesse made the experience fun and effortless, and those photos ended up being some of our most cherished memories from the day.

Jesse also went above and beyond for our engagement session, meeting us at Caumsett State Park—where we got engaged—and hiking deep into the park to capture incredible photos that mean so much to us.

We’ve already ordered so many prints from our wedding and will treasure these moments forever. Jesse has our complete confidence and eternal gratitude. We couldn’t recommend him and Golden Hour Studios more highly!

We worked with Jesse for both an engagement shoot and our wedding and we would absolutely recommend Jesse. Both of us are pretty uncomfortable getting our picture taken, but Jesse made us feel at ease right from the beginning. He seemed genuinely excited about us as a couple and the beautiful locations we were at for both the engagement and wedding photos. His gorgeous photos really captured the emotion of the moment and we're excited to look back at these photos for years to come.

Booking Jesse was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Not only did Jesse take incredible pictures and capture our wedding day perfectly, he also helped us plan the timeline for the whole afternoon leading up to the ceremony and kept that running very smoothly. Jesse kept the couples portraits fun and lighthearted and we enjoyed the whole process. His tons of experience definitely showed and we felt very comfortable leaving all of the details up to Jesse while he helped us focus more on our wedding day. We couldn’t be happier with the photos we received and they were an excellent mix of poses couples photos and candids throughout the day. We really enjoyed reliving the day through Jesse’s photos and also seeing the moments that we couldn’t be there for. Thank you again Jesse, we loved working with you!

All you need for your wedding day is Jesse! His solo act can do it all. Jesse captured the most amazing photos of our wedding day, and we could not have been happier with the images that he created. He is a consummate professional - remaining calm, cool, and collected during all of the wedding chaos. He kept my nerves as the bride at ease and made us laugh along the way. He made us camera-shy people feel comfortable being photographed. He asserted himself to get the photos of us as a couple, our family, and guests when he needed, but was also able to fade into the background and capture special moments without you even knowing he was there. He even managed to take beautiful photos in a rainstorm that passed through our wedding day. I would recommend him to anyone looking for wedding photos that are not your typical wedding shots. He truly creates fine art quality imagery of your day that you will want to cherish forever.

Jesse was the absolute BEST choice as our wedding photographer. Not only did he make Mike and I feel so incredibly comfortable in front of the camera, he made the whole process so much fun, quick, and easy. The best part is that the photos turned out SO beautiful. Exactly what we were hoping for. Choosing Golden Hour Studios was one of the absolute best decisions we made through the entire wedding process. If you are on the fence about booking- book now!

No words will ever be enough to describe how incredible Jesse is. Not only is he a phenomenal photographer, but he is an all around awesome human being.

Jesse captured our day so perfectly. With every photo, you can truly feel the emotion that was in the room. We were so lucky to be surrounded by so much love and happiness, and Jesse documented this so incredibly well.

If you’re thinking about hiring Jesse to shoot your wedding, do it. It was the best decision we could have made, and we will forever be grateful to Jesse for capturing our memories and joy. Thank you Jesse for shooting our big fat Greek wedding! We love you!

We can't say enough good things about Jesse. His energy, humor, ability to make us feel at ease, organization, professionalism and skills were unparalleled. We trusted him with specific stylistic requests and he delivered. He has truly mastered his craft, and we are so glad we chose him to capture our special day for us to cherish forever. He went above and beyond and we can't recommend him enough.

Jesse is truly the best in every way. His style is so natural and real, with no staging, and his photographs are works of art we will cherish for the rest of our lives. He has an amazing way of capturing every important memory, as well as the emotions and spirit of our events.
We originally hired him for our engagement photos in May 2019 and he was kind enough to shoot our tiny socially-distanced wedding in May 2020. He found creative ways to photograph us with our families even though we all had to stay 6+ feet apart. His photos incapsulate the joy and the unique circumstances of our pandemic wedding day. He also photographed our marriage celebration party in September 2021. He has been so flexible and professional throughout our many postponements and changes in our plans, and we feel so lucky to have been able to have him capture so many important moments in our lives.
We had never taken professional photos before, but he was excellent at making us feel comfortable. We didn't have to pose very often, but when we did he gave simple instructions and suggestions that felt natural. He is so relaxed yet fun to be around, and our families and friends raved about how much he put them at ease.
You should trust Jesse's unique creative vision; he is beyond talented. He has the best ideas for places to shoot that we never would have thought of, which adds to the fun of the photoshoots. We HIGHLY recommend hiring Jesse for your event and can't wait to have the opportunity to hire him again one day for family photos.

We found Jesse through this website and I loved all of his photos so I reached out to him immediately. It was amazing to work with Jesse on our wedding day. The whole process felt very smooth and natural. He has an uncanny ability to make amazing compositions out of simple candid moments. Looking through our gallery, it feels like we have a perfect encapsulation to help remember our day. We will definitely be reaching out to Jesse for future events. Don't think twice. Go with Jesse!
