About

Hi there! My name is Jesse Rinka, owner of Jesse Rinka Photography and one of the luckiest men you will ever meet. Why? Because unlike so many others, I am blessed with the opportunity to wake up each and every day and do what I truly love for a living. It's an amazing blessing made possible by those closest to me...especially my wife Maria who is my rock and number one supporter along with my two awesome sons. I've got a huge responsibility to set a great example for my kids and that's my motivation to be the best that I can be. Second only to my family, photography is my life.e

So why are you different from the next photographer Jesse? Why should I consider hiring you instead of someone else? Honestly, my answer to that question is short and to the point (although not really). Because I care. The truth is, there are many of us out there who are capable of taking a great photograph. Thanks to amazing advances in technology, everyone seems to have an amazing camera at their disposal. I see it at every wedding nowadays. The difference is that I genuinely care about so much more than just the photographs themselves. This is not about me...it's about you. I care about your overall experience well before, during and after the time you or your loved ones spend even one second in front of my camera. I care about your interests, your passions, what gets you excited when you wake up in the morning. It all matters to me, because I am not the photographer that never wants to see you again. I want to become a permanent part of your life. I want to be the guy who you can trust to deliver whenever you have a photographic need. I want to be the guy you can't wait to tell your closest friends and family about when they are looking for a great photography experience. I love what I do and being able to share that joy through the experience that I strive to provide is everything to me.

For interested bridal clients, my shooting style can be best described as traditional/romantic with some contemporary flair mixed in. For more information on how I may be able to assist you with your photographic needs, send a detailed message my way and I will be sure to respond as soon as possible. I can't wait to meet and work with you.

-- Jesse
Owner & Lead Photographer


P.S. I love to engage with people...so if you ever find yourself in the area, I urge you to stop by the studio to have a look around and to say hello. The studio is conveniently located on 51 Main Street in Tarrytown, New York.

    Amazing amazing amazing!

    I cannot say enough good things about Jesse Rinka Photography! I saw his work at a friend's wedding years ago & knew at that moment I wanted to use him for my wedding. I think it's important to note that at that time, I was not engaged or planning a wedding. Once my fiance and I set the date & had the venue confirmed, Jesse was my first call!

    Our wedding day was truly amazing in every sense of the word and Jesse & his team do everything they can to make you feel well taken care of...scratch that, they make you feel like you're a celebrity! We had Jesse as our lead photographer, Francis as our second photographer & Ryan as our lead videographer (plus two helpers). They're creative and thoughtful in each of their shots and you can tell they honestly care about doing a killer job.

    We've worked with a few other members of their team this year that also deserve a shout out! Maria, the studio manager, is a great communicator and made the entire process so seamless & easy. And Mark shot at our engagement party and was just as professional, knowledgeable & great as the rest of the photographers.

    If you can book Jesse Rink Photography, BOOK THEM!

    Jesse Rinka Photography's reply:

    We are so very appreciative of your kind words Katie! Thank you! Working with both you and James was a true pleasure. It was nothing but smiles all day and we had so much fun not only being able to document the day but to witness the amazing moments as they happened from start to finish was really special. Thank you for choosing us and giving us the honor of being your photo/video crew :)

    A Fantastic Day

    Jesse and his team were great to work with. He took the time to get to know us and what we wanted from the day. The photos are amazing and he was easy to talk to get in touch with through the wedding process. Highly recommend.

    Jesse Rinka

    Jesse Rinka and Team, Thank you from the bottom of Joe and I’s hearts. As we are looking through our wedding pictures we are in awe of how happy we are that we choose you to be part of our special day. Jesse and Maria went above and beyond from the day we first met to game plan our wedding day till the very last second of our day. Their attention to detail was impeccable and you can see it in every single one of our pictures and video. Our wedding day pictures capture more than just a day, it captured the love that Joe and I have for one another and the love that our friends and family had for us. Jesse and his team will forever hold a special place in our hearts and we consider them family. Words cannot even describe how highly we recommend Jesse and his team!

    My experience was amazing and something I will always cherish.

    Our wedding was a dream come true. We have to thank Jesse Rinka and his team Angie and Chris who made my fairy tale dream wedding happen. Every picture captures a beautiful memory on my amazing November Wedding. It was a day that I will always remember on how perfect and calm that Jesse Rinka and his team made me feel. I had the biggest smile on my face on that day knowing that I was blessed and I knowing that I was going to have the most beautiful photos. Our special photo was the Horse and carriage outside its the most breath taking photo I have ever seen... I just want to say thank you again to Jesse Rinka and his team again for making my fairytale wedding come true =) You guys are the best!!!!!

    5 Stars! ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

    Jesse Rinka Photography coordinated our photography session for our mini-wedding ceremony in December. Joe, the photographer, and Richie, the lighting director, were such joys to work with. They were incredibly professional and well-prepared; they arrived an hour before our start time to set-up. The Jesse Rinka Photography team approached each shot with enthusiasm, knew exactly what to say to make us smile (and laugh) for the camera, and made sure our "wishlist" shots were taken. We had such an enjoyable time working with them. We highly recommend hiring this team to capture your special day!

    Perfection!

    Our wedding was 11/1/19 (yes, 2 days ago) and Jesse was the only photographer we would have used! We ❤ him!!! We were so happy & lucky to have both Jesse and his beautiful assistant (and wife) Maria with us!😉 Everything was perfect!! They are so easy to work with, make everyone comfortable, and are super professional! Jesse always makes sure to capture his couples as they are and make each wedding personalized - no cookie-cutter photos from him!
    Thank you for being AMAZING!!
    We can't wait to see more photos and do the album with them when it's time🥰

    Perfection!

    Absolutely incredible!!! Jesse and his team did the photos and videos for our wedding in June at the Whitby Castle in Rye, NY and we were BLOWN AWAY by the results. The team was professional, incredibly accommodating, very well equipped, and they made us feel very comfortable. From the engagement session to the wedding day photos, Jesse and his team nailed it in a creative way that you have to see to believe! They are by far the best around and we are so grateful that they were a part of our special day!!!

    Jesse is a highly talented photographer! I am so happy we chose him to photograph our wedding. The schedule of a wedding day can be hectic and busy for any couple. Every bride hopes that all runs smoothly. You will not have to worry when hiring Jesse. His calm energy and great organizational skills made for a picture perfect day! As a couple, we were able to have fun, let loose and enjoy the special moments....all of which these moments were captured. He is very creative and not afraid to think outside the box. I have had endless compliments on my photos, as they were stunning ! Highly recommend using him as your guy !

    Wedding Photo Magic!

    Jesse and his team are wedding magic! His professionalism, patience and kindness show in ever shot! He made a nervous bride and groom who hates taking photos so comfortable and every photo was breathtaking! If there was one thing we did right vendor wise it was choosing Jesse Rinka and his team to capture our special day!

    Jesse Rinka and his team provided a wonderful service from the beginning of our engagement all the way through our wedding and beyond. We had our engagement shoot and wedding photos done with Jesse Rinka photography and we couldn't of asked for a better photography team! Jesse knows how to capture the special moments while also making the photos unique for his clients and the event. His professionalism and passion for what he does is evident and he is able to handle whatever mother nature throws at him (our wedding day was hot and humid) and he has a great ability at managing large bridal parties! Jesse also took into consideration of all our photo requests such as family and group shots. His team took photos at all of the locations needed (at our homes getting ready, at church, our photo location at Untermyer Gardens, and our venue at Leonard's Palazzo.) My husband Jonathan and I can't wait to see how all of our photos will come together in the album! Jesse Rinka Photography offers packages for all for your needs and for many different occasions, and we can't wait to continue having Jesse and his team photograph our next milestones in the future!

    My husband and I used Jesse as our photographer for our engagement photos and (because he did such an amazing job) our wedding. First off, for our engagement pictures he let us have fun and be ourselves and was able to capture such incredible shots which he then used to create our ‘save the date’ which everyone raved about what good quality it was. Then leading up to the wedding Jesse kept in touch making sure he understood our vision, plan and timeline for the day. Even with limited time Jesse and his team were able to capture every single shot on my list and then some. Jesse is creative and is able to come up with ideas for shots that turn out incredible! Everyone on Jesse’s team was professional, respectful and talented! I would recommend using Jesse as your photographer for your wedding, engagement, or for any special moment in your life. They are the absolute best!

    My husband and I couldn't be happier with our choice in using Jesse Rinka as our photographer at our Wedding this past November. Jesse is absolutely incredible. He was so easy to work with and very responsive throughout the entire process. Jesse and his assistant, Jeremy, made us feel at ease and extremely comfortable the entire day. Our pictures are absolutely breathtaking, and for that we will forever be grateful. Jesse, thank you again for capturing our special day, and truly helping make it the best day of our lives.

    Where do I begin…. You should start with my engagement photo review to truly understand how amazing Jesse is at what he does. I would have hired Jesse for our wedding photos with my eyes closed, that’s how much I trust his talent! I cried at our engagement pictures so I couldn’t even image what our wedding photos would look like. The day began with Jesse arriving to our hotel with Jeremy (the same dynamic duo that did our engagement photos) with another shooter at the grooms location. As soon as Jesse and his team arrived I knew it was show time! They did such a great job dealing with the small hotel room that had a hair & makeup team of 3, 8 bridesmaids, and a bunch of family members. The shots taken in the room were beautiful, you’d never even notice we were in a hotel – also the shots Jesse got in the lobby were breathtaking. From the moment of the first photo when I was getting my makeup done, to the very last shot at the end of the night, every single photo was completely perfect! Not to mention the same day edits that Jesse had on screen for everyone to see during the reception. We took our photos in between church and cocktail hour at Bartow-Pel Mansion in Pelham – a suggestion by Jesse. These photos look like they belong in a magazine that’s how amazing they are. And to think all Jesse did was say “tilt your head an inch to the left” and just like that, a breathtaking photo. My husband hates taking photos and our bridal party was about 17 people large and every single photo is more perfect than the last – I don’t know how he does it. I can honestly say I’ve never seen myself look more beautiful, than in Jesse’s photos. The best part of every single picture is we look like us – we may look like models at times but that’s because Jesse is that good at what he does. I don’t even think he knows how good he is, let’s just put it that way because his work aside, he is such a nice human being and that’s what mattered most to us. See my Knot review for Jesse!!

    Choosing Jesse as our photographer was one of the BEST decisions my husband and I made! Jesse is incredibly talented and his passion for what he does shows in his amazing work. Our family and friends cannot stop talking about how beautiful both our engagement and wedding photos came out - and we couldn't agree more!! He perfectly captured all of the amazing moments of our day and went above and beyond! My husband and I could not be happier!
