We found Janine through our venue David’s Country Inn, and from our first meeting with Janine we just knew she was a perfect fit for us! She always answered my millions on questions with patience and care. We had such a blast at our engagement shoot in downtown Clinton back in October 2021, and I am so glad that we did our engagement shoot. It really allowed us to get to know Janine and get used to posing for photos. I would highly recommend all couples to have an engagement shoot with their wedding photographer because it’s so important to be comfortable!

Janine was there for me every single step of the way throughout my 14 month wedding planning! She really helped put me at ease making sure our day of timeline made me feel comfortable because I didn’t want to feel rushed but I had a very ambitious “must have” shot list with my husband and I for our first look. We really worked and edited it until we were both comfortable with it.

The day of.. I mean.. I can’t even put into words how truly amazing Janine was. She was so comforting, and easy going, and just calming. There was no rushing, no panic, no being pulled into different directions. It was just organic and she just captured our day so beautifully, and we felt the same exact way for our second shooter Gerardo.. just incredible!

We also just received our Wedding Album, which is stunning. We are blown away by the quality of it. Working with the design team was seamless and so much fun to see the slideshow of our entire day. The hardest part was having to condense our album down because it was perfect. Our album design appointment was on 01/05, and shipped on 01/11 and arrived on 01/14! 9 day turn around time.. absolutely incredible.

Janine has equally been as caring and dedicated to her clients even AFTER our wedding day. We truly feel like Janine is apart of our extended family and cannot wait to work with her for our future life events. We just love her and her work - her pictures truly speak for her passion. I cannot recommend Janine enough to capture your wedding day + engagement shoot!

We absolutely LOVE Janine! Ever since our first interaction when booking our engagement shoot, she was so easy to communicate with and understood our vision. She is such a warm and friendly person, which made doing a photoshoot super effortless. The day of our wedding, she captured the details we wanted, while also letting the day play out naturally since we requested a ton of candids. Her and her team were such a vital part of making our day so special. We can’t say enough great things and hope to work with her again in the future for other life events!

I honestly couldn’t imagine a better experience. The pictures were absolutely breathtaking and Janine was an such a delight. We also loved her assistant. Would give 100+ stars if we could.

Janine is THE BEST photographer! From the minute we first met at an engagement shoot I instantly felt confident I had chosen the best person to photograph my wedding. On wedding day, Janine and her assistant, did not miss a beat. She was so nice, relaxed and put any wedding day stresses at ease. I just received the photos and the only way to describe them is magical. They make you feel right back in the moment from wedding day. I could not be happier and will for sure have Janine doing more photos for me down the line!

Janine was our photographer for our 6/26/21 wedding, she is simply so kind and such a sweet person to work with! I was postponed from August 2020 to June 2021 I was in communication with Janine throughout the pandemic she was so easy to reschedule with and was very responsive with emails with any questions I had. Day of Janine arrived with her assistant ready to capture my day, she helped with everything from helping me relax in front of the camera to helping setup table decor within my venue! She was so easy going and made my husband and I more comfortable in front of the camera which is no easy task! She also had impeccable patience with our 2 1/2 yr old daughter which really made us so happy! Despite rain as well as humidity she worked right through it all and kept us moving throughout the day! I highly recommend Janine Collette Photography for your special day!

My (now) husband and I couldn’t be happier with our wedding and engagement pictures. The entire process with Janine was outstanding. We wanted a photographer who could capture fantastic candid shots as well as great portraits and do so in a non-intrusive way. Janine’s photographs are stellar, and she is so much fun to work with! She encouraged us to be ourselves and truly showcased our love for one another along with all of the emotions of our day. When all is said and done, we’re left with the memories, and looking at the images Janine created truly enables us to relive the amazing moments of our day.

Janine’s passion was evident from our first call, and we felt immediately comfortable with her style. When we met with her for our engagement shoot, our fondness only grew. Nothing about Janine is “cookie-cutter.” She becomes inspired by the way the light hits at a given moment and has strokes of what are best described as creative genius.

All aspects of service were wonderful. She is responsive, flexible, and perhaps most importantly, she delivers on everything she promises. If we could leave 10 stars, we would!

Janine is outstanding in her profession and is just an overall awesome person! From her personality and kindness to her photography skills she made our engagement shoot an absolute blast and wedding day pictures so much fun, even in the absurd 100 degree weather we had! She captures great angles, and ones that are not the typical poses, making your photos come out even more spectacular. She pays so much attention to detail and even goes into ‘stealth ninja mode’ to get amazing candids throughout the day. Her second shooter, Gerardo, is also spectacular- so fun, energetic and the posing master. He has a spectacular eye for photos as well, and we loved having them there to capture our special day. Your pictures are sure to come out amazing and more than you could imagine. You can tell she truly loves what she does and invests herself into capturing your day perfectly. I would (and have already) highly recommend her and her team if you’re looking for spectacular wedding day and engagement photos! You won’t be disappointed!

I cannot express enough how much of an absolute pleasure it was to work with Janine for our photography for our wedding. We were recommended to Janine through David’s Country Inn who has some of the most amazing preferred vendors. From our first phone call, Janine was able to clearly express her style and understanding of what my goals were for my wedding day. Janine and I kept in contact for about a year and a half before my wedding! No matter what stage of the wedding planning process we were in, Janine was always SO willing to confirm if our vision made sense (timeline, style, and place of photos) and was so reassuring that everything would be amazing.

Now for our wedding day. Although I did not get the opportunity to meet Janine until the day of my wedding, I was so immediately comfortable with her and her staff that it set all my wedding jitters at ease. Janine is the epitome of a professional. My husband and I were instantly impressed at how Janine and her second shooter worked together, the quality of their equipment and their ability to move us and our bridal party around to capture the perfect shot. They were VERY familiar with David’s Country Inn as well so they know exactly where they wanted us and where the perfect angles were to capture amazing photos. This flowed through the day from our getting ready process, to the first look, to the ceremony at Rutherfurd Hall (which had a drone!) to the reception. Janine captured the most intimate photos during our ceremony which Rich and I will cherish forever. Our photos walking the grounds of Rutherfurd hall are just phenomenal as well, they were thrilled with the lighting and used the environment to enhance our shots. Janine knew exactly the amount of time we would need to capture the shots we desired and knew when we were all set and could take a break. We had so much fun in the process as well, it was absolutely the best experience. As for the reception, I am just in awe of all the amazing candid shots Janine took. We were worried when we didn’t get a chance to get some photos with family members, but Janine easily accomplished this goal throughout the reception without a hitch. Rich and I have been so thrilled viewing our reception shots because as Janine described herself more like a ninja during this time period and it is the absolute truth. We never felt like we had cameras in our face or intruding on any moments, in fact, they caught the most perfect moments that captured the party vibe of the night. Rich and I even escaped a few times to go outside David’s to take some highly desired shots and this was done in very little time so we could return to the reception.

AND guess what! It’s been less than a month and Janine has ALREADY provided us with an online album of our photos which are breathtaking!

I am just so impressed with Janine and her staff. She is a master of her craft and truly one of the best in her field. I am so beyond grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her. Rich and I will cherish these photos forever.

From Day 1 Janine was warm and welcoming, talking us through all the details and what we needed to know. She made us feel at ease during the stressful planning process. She was always available through email, phone, or text, and was always willing to talk things over with us. A few months before the wedding a family tragedy hit, and we filled Janine in on what was going on within the family. This relative stranger immediately sprung into action, helping to arrange a private family shoot, and checking in weekly with us to see how everything was. Suddenly she wasn't just our photographer, but a willing friend who was there without hesitation to support us. The day of the wedding she continued that support, helping us through a very emotional day, and making sure we had all the photos we needed. She was unobtrusive, efficient, and understanding of the breaks we needed. She helped keep us on schedule in a way that seemed effortless. I honestly do not know how I would have gotten through everything without her there. Her presence was so calming, and the end result of the photos were beautiful. I'm not a photogenic person, and I'm terrible at knowing what angles look good, but she floored me with her work. For the first time in my life, I looked at a photo of myself and thought I was beautiful. I only wish we could have taken so many more, because they all turned out so amazing. I could not recommend her more, she was amazing and professional and there was never any doubt in my mind she wouldn't blow me away! If there was only one aspect of my wedding I could keep, it would be her.

I could not be happier with the experience I had with Janine. She is beyond sweet and I absolutely love her work! She shot both my bridal shower and wedding and I am so happy that I chose Janine to work with! Thank you so much to Janine and her team! My guests are still raving about how they felt so included because Janine and her team covered every inch of the room, and I had 300 guests!
