Reviews of Hudson Valley Photography | Jean Kallina

Let me preface this whole review by saying that I am not someone who loves to have her photo taken.

That being said, I could not WAIT for Jean Kallina of Hudson Valley Photography to take photos of my wedding. As soon as we found her website, and then met with her to discuss packages, etc, we loved her and her work. Jean has a truly artistic eye, knows how to capture an emotion and moment, whether it's crazy dancing at the reception, or a romantic portrait just after the wedding.

She was a total joy to work with on a professional level, too. She was friendly but efficient in getting the group bridal party photos we requested while our guests were at the cocktail hour. She got all the posed group shots in, and we got to the reception right on time.

We just viewed our entire album yesterday for the first time, and we are thrilled! She captured our big day and the people we loved so wonderfully. We couldn't have asked for more.

If having keepsake photos of your wedding is very important to you, then I can't recommend Jean Kallina of Hudson Valley Photography highly enough.

Beautiful Photos

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're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

We love Jean's photography. See for yourself, look at our photo album entitled Renaissance Wedding. It speaks for itself. We highly recommend her to all of our clients and can't wait to work with her again.

I am always delighted to discover that Jean Kallina of Hudson Valley Photography will be working with me on a wedding. I recommend her to clients every chance I get because she is so easy to work with and takes such interesting, beautiful and memorable pictures. As a wedding officiant, it is also important to me that the photographer moves about in such a way that they don't intrude on the ceremony. With Jean, I don't even know she is there sometimes. In addition to being a real pro, she is a delightful person who is easy to work with. Consider yourself blessed if you get Jean to photography your wedding.
