We hired Jean based on the recommendation of our venue, and we could not be happier with how our photos turned out. Jean was extremely professional, and she met with us several times before the day of the wedding to coordinate events and timing. We did getting-ready photos, a first-look session before the ceremony, along with family portraits, ceremony, and reception photography. Jean and her assistant Tim were both able to create truly beautiful images while remaining efficient and keeping us perfectly on schedule. We had some unexpected rain, so we weren’t able to take the outdoor photos we had planned, but Jean was able to suggest a back-up location that turned out beautifully.

Jean Kallina was the photographer for our April 21st wedding and she did an amazing job! Both my husband and I were so pleased with the photos and we can't wait to share them with our friends and family. Jean was great to work with from start to finish and even went out of her way to meet us for coffee when we happened to be passing through Kingston. She was also so accommodating of our request to speed up the after the ceremony photos since a) it was COLD and b) we didn't want to miss all of cocktail hour with our guests!

My only regret is that we didn't book her services for longer! Highly recommend Jean for your upcoming wedding or any special event where you're looking to hire a photographer!

We are more than happy that we picked Jean to be our photographer!!!! The pictures she took looked like pure art! We are looking forward to having her capture our family photos.

Jean was not only very professional, but really great at taking direction and making your suggestions come to life! I could not recommend hiring her more.

I hired Jean for my May 2014 Hudson Valley wedding. We were married in a Catholic church and then held a reception on a family farm inside a tent. All of the photographs came out beautifully. Jean was easy to work with, her assistant was a lot of fun and did a great job corralling the ring bearers/flower girls for group photos, they were not in the way at all during the day/didn't feel like we were being paparazzi stalked at our reception and I thought her prices were extremely reasonable given quality of service and location. Also her instagram is really awesome, so you know she's passionate about taking good photographs even when she's not on the clock. I would definitely recommend!

Jean was great. Met with us before to understand what we wanted to capture.

We’re so happy that Jean Kallina was the photographer at our wedding. From the initial planning phases to the last dance she was always available to answer our questions and give us advice on how to preserve our event in pictures. Her style is quiet and unassuming yet she and her staff were ever present taking hundreds of photos – at both the rehearsal and the wedding - capturing all the excitement and enthusiasm of our wedding weekend. Her skill and creativity as a photographer was evident in both the formal pictures and the candids. Her understanding of color and perspective enabled her to capture fantastic shots – pictures that over the years will send us right back to that lovely summer weekend in August. She didn’t miss a detail and for that we are truly grateful.

Jean Kallina provided us with the most Amazing photography I have ever seen. We were thrilled when we saw the images. They are artistic, beautiful and wonderful quality. She is an amazing artist. She was super professional to work with. She always got back to us the same day we contacted her and her follow up was great... we got the photos super fast... It was a couple of weeks! Jean was a pleasure to have around us on the day of the wedding and made us feel very comfortable having our photos taken which we appreciated very much. WE would recommend her without hesitation. Wonderful Job and THank you Jean

Jean Kallina Photography was the best choice for our wedding. Jean was very familiar with our venue and knew all of the great spots to capture our unforgettable day. Not only was she professional, but she was extremely attentive to the bridal party and our families.

She took the time to meet with us at the venue and recommend places to shoot and time frames to begin/end--even going a step further to help me formulate a "picture schedule" for the day of the wedding.

She responded to emails same day and made it a point to let me know if she was going out of town or couldn't be reached for a few days.

The turn around time getting our photos amazed us and we were more than happy with the outcome. I would highly recommend her for your wedding or special event.

I cannot recommend Jean Kallina enough! Our photos came out absolutely spectacular. When planning a wedding you begin to realize how ridiculously expensive every little thing can be. While Jean's cost is competitive and on par with other photographers in the area, we considered going cheap on a photographer or even having a friend take pictures for us. We are so glad that we didn't go down that route. Having these amazing photos to look back on is absolutely priceless. We had the best day of our lives but it went by so fast and there were moments that we missed all together. Her photos captured the spirit of our wedding perfectly. She was extremely unobtrusive which we loved, but she somehow captured every amazing moment at the same time. We've gone to weddings where there is a videographer with a bright light shining in your face or photographers blocking your view of the bride and groom or getting right in the middle of your group making your feel uncomfortable and the pictures look unnatural. Jean's presence allowed such natural photos to be taken and everyone just looked like they were having fun in the moment rather than posing for pictures. She has an amazing eye for detail and every picture came out truly beautiful. We highly recommend not skimping on a photographer and we highly recommend Jean!
