    The best!!!!

    We had Jimi and his assistant Steve capture our wedding a few weekends ago and I cannot express our gratitude enough. Jimi was wonderful to work with from start to finish - easy to communicate with, knowledgeable, passionate, and helpful beyond measure. We could not be happier that we chose him to capture our day. His passion and skill are evident in the first conversations with him, and they only continue to shine through on both the day of the wedding and in all of the photos. I was able to relax and enjoy the day knowing that all of our special moments were being captured. We received so many incredible photos from our wedding day and truly cannot stop looking over them. Jimi captured not only our posed photos, which we adore, but incredible candids throughout the entire day. I have not stopped looking through the pictures and feeling like I am reliving the day each time. Jimi also took the time to capture the smaller details of our day, which are so special to look back on. We have wonderful pictures of the venue, our flowers, the cake, the decor, etc. that I can look back on and cherish. We truly cannot recommend Jimi enough and will without a doubt be using him again to capture any future events.

    There was never a doubt in my mind that I had to pick Jimi to be my wedding photographer.

    There was never a doubt in my mind that I had to book Jimi to be my wedding photographer. I am obsessed with each and everyone of my pictures.
    Jimi is an artist through and through, and I put my trust in him completely. I chose Jimi because I love his style, and how each one of his pictures is a work of art. He sees things in a way like no other, and I 100% recommend just letting him do his thing. He knows a good shot when he see’s it, and each one of my pictures are better than the rest.

    I HIGHLY recommend Jimi and Natalie, who teamed up to shoot our wedding at Nostrano Vineyards this August. We couldn't be happier with the entire experience we had with them! They are professional and so easy and fun to work with, and the results are just beautiful. I was a little worried at the end of the night because they were so discreet that I didn't see them around much other than for the portraits-- but they captured thousands of photos of the entire day, including so many special moments, while we were busy having fun! They really didn't miss anything. They also maintained excellent control over the family portrait session to make sure we got through it quickly so we could join the party-- not an easy task with so many excited people around. Mixed in with the more traditional photos are some unique and stunning shots that play with light, color and focus. Beautiful! We bought the digital package but we love so many of the photos, we will be purchasing an album. I highly recommend Jimi and Natalie if you are looking to check photography off of your stress list and have beautiful photos of your special day!

    I was never the girl who had a dream wedding. But there was one thing I knew. Jimi Ferrara had to be the photographer at my wedding! Jimi was such a pleasure to work with. He had great ideas, poses, and angles. IThe pictures turned out great! I will definitely be recommending him to friends and family.

    J.Ferrara Photography Inc's reply:

    This very well be the best compliment I ever received... Thank you so much you two! I'll always remember your wedding day.

    Selecting a photographer was a difficult process until we met Jimi. Knowing next to nothing about photography other than using our iPhones, my bride and I were at ease meeting with Jimi at his studio. The entire time he talked about his vision and artistic eye when it comes to capturing weddings which you could see throughout his studio and the work we viewed. He truly gave us the best feeling that J. Ferrara Photography would deliver awesome pictures.....and they surely did. The feedback from everyone we have shared the pictures from our big day have loved them. If you are looking for a photography company with truly an artistic eye to capture your day then go with J. Ferrara Photography (they also are very affordable comparative to other companies).

    Thank you so much Trip, we really appreciate it! Especially for a winter wedding where there are so many restrictions with daylight, timing, and of course the cold. I'm sure I'll see you two again at some other wedding.

    Some girls dream of the dress, some dream of the flowers, I always dreamt about my wedding photos. Studying animation and motion graphics in college, I’ve always been extremely particular about how photos look. Besides marrying my best friend, having the most amazing photos was the number one on my list. I am over the moon estate about the photos that Natalie and Jimi took of my wedding. I’m beyond impressed with their professionalism, how relaxed they made everyone feel, and above all, the jaw dropping absolutely gorgeous photos they produced. When they sent they wedding preview, we were currently driving home from our wedding in New York (we live in the midwest) and I made my husband pull off to a rest stop so we could look at them together. Gorgeous does not even begin to describe the photos that were given to us. Nothing was missed either, having both of these talented photographers work on my wedding was such a joy and blessing. Scrolling through the her 1300 photos, I was able to see moments I missed, see happy faces, and see myself enjoying the start of my beautiful marriage. I think giving Natalie free range (my list of what I absolutely wanted was small) ended up being better in my favor! There are a few shots that are bind blowing, my favorite being of one they took with an umbrella, which f you are looking through their gallery, you cannot miss it! If anyone is looking for a photographer in the Hudson Valley, or even in other states, I would recommend Natalie and Jimi a million times over! I wish I could give them more than 5 stars because they really were a 10/10! Thank you both for helping capture these precious moments of the best day of my life!

    J.Ferrara Photography Inc's reply:

    Shanna, we can't thank you enough for your kind words! Your laid back attitude and trust in us is also why we captured so many great photos. And, yeah- this scale SHOULD go up to 10! :) Thanks again!!!!

    My husband and I are so thrilled with our wedding pictures. The love that we have for each other was truly captured in every single picture, it is going to be hard to pick for our album! Jimi and his assistant Kathleen were amazing and brought such a great energy to the day, we both felt totally relaxed and comfortable and had a ton of fun too! Thank you again!

    Hiring Jimi and Natalie was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. My father is a retired wedding photographer, and I've seen some of the ugly that can happen in the process. I didn't experience any of that with Jimi! He was super energetic and professional, punctual and highly skilled. Both he and Natalie were fantastic the day of my wedding, not in the way at all- yet they captured so many great moments! My wedding day was one of the best days of my life- and Jimi and Natalie really, truly captured all of it. They were quite patient through the family portraits and managed to still get all the other shots we were after. The entire process was truly a great experience, from the signing of the contract even through today, months afterwards! My photos are stunning, I feel like a rockstar and my family and friends were also super impressed. Investing in photography for your wedding may seem daunting, but J. Ferrara Photography is worth every penny.

    J.Ferrara Photography Inc's reply:

    Out of all the hundreds of weddings I photographed, this one had the most pressure for me- being that Allison's dad is a well respected photographer, and someone I knew for years. I'm proud to say we nailed it, and I have a book of my own that I show from this wedding at the studio- it was that good of a day!

    Our pictures came out AMAZING!! Jimi was absolutely wonderful- was close enough to capture amazing moments, yet hung back enough to not get in the way. We are very happy that we went with J.Ferrara Photography! His studio in Cornwall is adorable, and it was wonderful to sit down with him at our first meeting and see some of his amazing work. We can't wait to choose our favorite pictures and get our album!

    Thank you, Jimi!! xxoo Meaghan and Billy

    Jimi and Natalie were amazing! They were great to work with throughout the whole wedding process. They were assertive when they needed to be at the wedding but still kept the situation cool and calm. We have been to other people's weddings where the photographer doesn't have the ability to get people together for group shots and it can be very stressful and frustrating. This was definitely not the case with Jimi and Natalie! They kept everyone moving and got in a ton of family pictures in a short time frame. We have just started to receive our pictures and they are amazing! We can't wait to see more! They are a great team and we definitely recommend them for any event!

    I was looking for a photographer for my wedding on 4/26/14. I came across Jimi's website and immediately knew I wanted him to photograph my wedding. When my fiance and I met him in person, it was just further confirmation that he was extremely talented and easy to work with. We instantly clicked and I had total confidence that he would deliver beautiful pictures.

    The day of the wedding ended up being rainy, but JImi was so great working with us knowing the one thing I wanted were outdoor pictures of the venue. (I chose Ramsey Country Club primarlily because of the beautiful grounds and stone castle) Every time the rain let up a bit, Jimi led us outside to take as many shots as we could. We did this a few times, and I am so appreciative that he did that. It showed how flexible he was with having to change his equipment to be inside or out, risking his equipment getting wet, and caring about his clients' wishes. He works very quickly and just snaps away. He has quite an eye because you don't even feel like it's 'work' having to pose this way or that. And that's the confidence I meant - he just knows what areas and shots will work best.

    The pictures were available to us so quickly, I think about 2-3 weeks after the wedding. Every picture came out beautifully and captured our personalities and our love for each other. I am so thankful to Jimi and his assistant for doing such a great job photographing our special day.

    Needless to say, I highly recommend J. Ferrara Photography!

    J. Ferrara Photography came highly recommended to me by Vargas Productions the DJs who MCd my wedding. I was planing a wedding in NY from San Francisco so it was really important to find for me to find a photographer that was really easy to work with. Jimi the photographic genius behind J. Ferrara definitely fit that criteria.

    Jimi and his photo partner Natalie were like ninjas. Totally blending in with the crowd taking some amazing photos. Jimi really has a way of bringing out the best in a shot. i.e. He had us take photos in front of the main entrance of the hotel the reception was taking place. In my mind I'm like I'm really curious to see how this will look like in the photo and wow I was shocked. The entrance of the hotel didn't look anything special but with his portable lighting technics he made it look magical.

    Another magical thing from J.Ferrara was their turn around time. HOLY COW! I thought it would take at least a month to get the photos back but wow in 2 weeks he was able to get my photos back to me so quickly.

    Do not hesitate in hiring J. Ferrara Photography for your next event! He was super easy to get a hold of. Great to work with and the final product he presents to you is just amazing. Totally worth every penny!
