About

Specializing in capturing each wedding uniquely, with a keen eye for moments & emotions, my photos do the most important thing for you: bring you back to how your wedding day felt. I strongly believe that great wedding photography begins & ends with images that make you feel. It’s entirely possible to freeze a moment of joy, anticipation, excitement & appreciation, but it takes a level of foresight & experience to recognize them.

10 years ago, I decided to dedicate my life to photographing weddings. Hundreds of weddings later, documented primarily throughout the northeast and abroad, the fire inside me still burns as bright as it did a decade ago, if not more. This is beyond a job, it’s a calling.

It’s not lost on me the importance of what I do. As a husband and father, I believe your wedding is the first step on this amazing journey of life. Weddings are monumental events that bring families together while forging new ones. Getting the chance to be right there, alongside you both, is an honor.

After your wedding day ends, what remains are your photographs. Forever. I do not take this responsibility lightly and I can’t wait to preserve these memories for you.

Thank you, Jesse!

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!

Amazing wedding photos

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.

Incredible wedding photos!

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!
