What is the story behind Jarot Bocanegra Photography?

I'm Jarot, a New Jersey wedding photographer. Since 2014 I've photographed weddings across North Jersey, all of New Jersey and NYC. I'm the lead photographer at every wedding I book, and behind the scenes my wife Jennifer keeps everything running smoothly, so on your day you can focus on each other.

Most couples tell me they feel awkward in front of a camera. I get it, and that's why I guide every pose and keep things relaxed and fun. Before the wedding, we map out your timeline, portrait spots and family photo list together. On the day, I keep the photos on schedule, give gentle direction when it helps and step back when moments unfold naturally.

Wedding collections start at $4,800:

  • Signature, $4,800: 8 hours of coverage
  • Editorial, $6,200 (most popular): 10 hours, an engagement session, and a lead + second photographer
  • Legacy, $7,800: 12 hours, an engagement session, a lead + second photographer, a 10" x 10" heirloom album and priority editing

Every collection includes me as your lead photographer, a private online gallery and a sneak peek within 72 hours, with your full gallery within 6-8 weeks. Travel is included anywhere in New Jersey. NYC weddings (all five boroughs) have a flat $350 travel fee, and weddings outside NJ and NYC, including destination weddings, are quoted individually.

Send me your date and venue, and I'll get back to you within 24-48 hours with availability and next steps.

Amazing shots! Extraordinary talent

As we reflect on the joy of our recent wedding, my spouse and I want to extend our deep appreciation to Jarot for playing a pivotal role in preserving the magic of our special day.

He seamlessly blended into our celebration, skillfully documenting every moment with a perfect balance of professionalism and passion. The resulting images are extraordinary—each photo tells a unique story, preserving the genuine emotions and love that defined our wedding.

We are immensely grateful for the dedication and artistry Jarot brought to our wedding. To anyone considering their services, we wholeheartedly recommend Jarot and Jenn. You won't just be hiring a photographer; you'll gain a storyteller and friend who crafts visual narratives that transcend the ordinary.

Jarot and his team were the best not only photographers but people we’ve ever had the pleasure to work with. He was always responsive and made sure to capture every memorable moment. We couldn’t have been happier with how all our photos and albums turned out. Jarot truly cares about his work and takes pride in it. He is also a great guy and makes the entire process fun. We HIGHLY recommend Jarot and his team for your photography needs.

Amazing experience!

We had the pleasure of getting to work with Jarot and Jenn at our wedding in January 2021 and again at our postponed reception on October 1, 2021. There are not enough words to express how wonderful Jarot and Jenn are. They are so dedicated to their couples and give you nothing but the absolute best. They pay an incredible amount of attention to the little details that mean so much to couples. They are super fun, easy going, and easy to communicate and get along with. It can be uncomfortable to have a camera in your face all day but they truly do make it easy. I wish we could get married again so we can re-hire them! If you are looking for a team to capture your day in the most magical way and ensure that you are comfortable the entire time, look no further.

Thank you jarot

We had the pleasure of working with Jarot and his wife, Jen on our March 12 wedding! We can not thank them enough for everything they've done for us. When you work with Jarot he really takes the time to get to know you and is always so easily reachable. He captured the most special moments on our big day and we're absolutely obsessed with all of our pictures. We can't thank Jarot and his team enough for all they did for us on our wedding day AND leading up to our big day.

Amazing, professional and creative!

Jarot is truly amazing. He photographed our micro-wedding in September and we could not have been happier. Jarot was very responsive and helpful during the uncertain times, but we were fortunate to carry on with our wedding despite everything. We had a beautiful rooftop venue in NYC and some of the shots he captured were stunning. The angles and lighting were so unique; I had no idea the photos would turn out the way they did! I love the his style and creativity. Jarot was able to cater to our budget and smaller wedding size, and we are extremely grateful. I cannot recommend him enough!

Dream pictures

We have had already two photoshoots with Jarot. He has always been AMAZING!!! He tells you how to pose, he tells you every single movement you should do to make the perfect photo, and believe me, all the photos are perfect. He takes the time with every picture. He does not care about rolling in dirt, just to get the perfect picture. The last photo shoot we had was in Washington D.C. We wanted to do it with the sunrise on July 4th. He drove from NJ to DC during the night and arrived on time, full of energy, to take our pictures. He gives that extra mile for his clients! If you are thinking about hiring him to do your photos, do not think more. He is the man!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
