J. Santini Photography

JT was nothing short of amazing on our day, we had a 75 person wedding and he was just incredible the entire way - we also used JT for our engagement pictures and were so happy how they turned out - JT really made all of our special moments come to life and was an integral part of our day! He was on time, professional, and made everyone feel comfortable for photos!

Very helpful and knows what he's doing!!! Thank you so much and thank you for traveling!!

To start - my husband and I planned our wedding in 6 months, and were hoping to find vendors that fit our style and preferences. As soon as we spoke with JT over the phone, we knew he was our guy! He has great energy and a true enthusiasm for weddings and all the love that goes with it. We met with him to do an engagement session beforehand and were so happy with the photos, and are even more stunned with how beautiful our wedding photos came out. We don’t look overly posed or stiff at all, and the energy of the day is captured beautifully. He has an incredible light, airy, journalistic style that is evident in each and every one of the photos. His pricing is so fair and with an unlimited time frame on the wedding day, we knew we struck gold. We’re so thankful for JT and his stunning capture of our wedding day!

When I was going through photographers, all the ones with the style I wanted were extremely expensive. All the other photographers in my budget had very outdated photography styles and had corny photos. JT is the only photographer I found that worked with my budget and had outstanding photos! My fiancé and I immediately booked him and we had beautiful engagement photos done. We recently received some wedding highlight photos and I couldn't imagine better wedding pictures! JT was with us from the beginning of preparation (around 12pm) till the end of our night (around 10pm). He was great to work with and my husband can't stop looking at the photos!

He is cool and friendly and works with you and is one of the most cost effective photographers on the market in NY. I worked with him on 3 occasions. 1. my sisters sweet 16, my engagement photos and now my wedding and each time it has been great.

We were very resistant to taking engagement photos, well I was. I felt it was going to be awkward and was doing it to appease my fiancée. That’s where J.T. really shined. From the moment we discussed the photo shoot with him, he was totally professional and locked in. He began researching our destination for best lighting options, asking us questions about time, and catering to every request we had. Despite a complicated location where there were hundreds of people, our photos look like we were alone at the site. There is a dedication to craft here that is rarely seen. JT was corteous and professional throughout the entire shoot, not pushing us to go any further than we wanted to but making sure to get exactly what we were looking for. He scouted the areas and was patient in every scenario, making sure to minimize background distractions and used our time so well. He gave great direction, was prompt with everything, and made us feel at ease through the entire process. Our pictures were back to us quickly and they came out better than we could have expected. You will not regret using him as your photographer for any occasion.

Review-Long over due* Had the pleasure of finding JT on this website. We casually met and right away had a great vibe from him. We chatted and picked his brain on some ideas since he is the expert. We were happy to pick him and move forward. He did our Engagement Pictures and it was so much fun! We were so comfortable with him and he made it so easy. So we know working with him on the actual date would be a breeze. When we got the Engagement Pictures they were so good, of course we used them on the invitations. JT is very professional and so good to work with. Not your typical "wedding factory" photographer. So much more! On our special date he was punctual and ready to capture everything! He got some amazing pictures. He was able to capture a lot of non-script photos. Some that I had no idea was possible. It rained on our day....you would never know from the pictures. So I would highly suggest JT Santini to anyone looking for a personal experience. We will definitely continue to work with him in the future!

J.Santini Photography!!!! What can I say!? There are no words to express how wonderfully awesome you captured our Wedding Day!!! You could see the love and laughter in every photo and you painted a beautiful picture of our day through your photos!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE his work!! Worth EVERY penny and more!

We highly recommend you sit with JT and discuss your wedding day. Once you do, you'll see how different his approach is and how comfortable you'll be working with him. We booked him the night we met with him and scheduled our engagement shoot a month later. Once we saw the pictures we were completely hooked and so excited for our wedding. He captured every detail beautifully. When I look back at the album all I can do is smile.

My fiance and I were not huge on PDA and were even worse in front of a camera. We expected the wedding photographer search to be the hardest part for us but when we met with JT that all changed. We had an awesome engagement session that really helped break the ice for us and JT was so easy to work with that everything felt completely natural. By the time our wedding day came around we honestly weren't even thinking about the pictures and we LOVE everything! From the moment we were getting ready through the last dance, every minute of the day was captured beautifully.

JT was the last photographer we had to meet with, we instantly clicked. He was very easy to talk to and we loved the warm and natural look of his pictures. We had previously met with a few other "preferred vendors" but nothing felt right. The day of our wedding arrived and JT was punctual, easy to work with and friendly. He made us all feel very comfortable and enjoy every moment of the day. It was amazing how fast the day went but how well he adapted to each situation. He was journalistic when he needed to be but totally helped direct us for some formal pictures we'll keep as framed. He delivered on time and we couldn't be happier to have worked with him to document such an important day!

If you are looking for a fun, professional, efficient and smart photographer look no farther. My husband and I are still completely blown away by the skill that JT & our Videography Brandon had to offer us. The whirlwind on the day of your wedding can often be very overwhelming and at times become stressful, but not with these two working the scenes. Tyler and I to this day still talk about how one of our favorite parts of our wedding day was when JT & Brandon took us out of the party onto this beautiful golf course to do sunset pictures. At first the thought of leaving our own party seemed so weird to us, but looking back I am so thankful we did. We we able to be our purest selves. Laughing and giggling and holding each other so tight it was almost as if we forget anyone was filming us in the first place. JT & Brandon were able to bring out the best in ourselves and best in each other and allowed us to be free and have fun with it. I am eagerly checking my e-mail for those sneak peak photos, other than the two which JT himself uploaded into our wedding hashtag also using his own hashtag of #livefromthewedding. Any occasion i encounter from this point forward that needs any kind of video or photography i will never look any farther than J. Santini Photography. Thank you SO much for making our day as special as it was, you have no idea how much of an impact you both made.

With Love,

From professional portraits to cheerful candids, JT Santini went above and beyond what any wedding photographer is capable of doing. I was planning my wedding from Pittsburgh and was scouring the internet for a reliable photographer back on Long Island. I stumbled across JT’s website and was instantly drawn to how touching his candid photos were. As I looked through his portfolio, I saw how well his portraits captured the happiness between bride and groom, the love of family members and the bridal party, and the details and decorations of the wedding day. I contacted him via email and he promptly responded and set any worries I had about planning my wedding from a different state to rest. The big day started off around 6:00AM for hair and makeup (early I know), but JT showed up with a smile on his face and nothing but enthusiasm to start shooting. His friendly nature and laid-back personality blended well with the high stress and nervousness that can happen on a wedding day. He made sure to take my “must-have” photos and his eye for photo composition is unparalleled. JT is friendly, patient, well-prepared (he uses multiple cameras and backs up his photos throughout the day so nothing goes missing), an excellent communicator, and is an outstanding dress fluffer (before every photo, rest assured that your dress will be perfectly positioned). JT Santini Photography offers digital prints, photo albums, and the entirety of your wedding photos on CD. It was very important to my husband and I what photo effects were used (black & white, Photoshop, etc.) and discussing this with JT led to the most beautiful photos we could have ever hoped for. I cannot laud his services enough and I am so happy to have worked with him. Thank you, JT!
