  Best of the best!

  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 Love Janine!

  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!

  Best photographer

  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!

  Amazing photographer

  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!

  No one better than Janine!!!

  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.

  Rock star photographer!

  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!

  Best Vendor Decision We Made

  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!

  Truly amazing experience, stunning photos

  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.

  Photographer Turned Friend

  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.

  Highly recommend!

  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!

  We could not be happier that we went with Janine for our wedding at David’s Country Inn. We developed an instant rapport right from the first meeting and knew we wanted her to capture our special day. Janine was wonderful throughout the process, providing us with recommendations for everything from an itinerary for the day to off-site locations nearby for additional photos. On our wedding day, we went to a local state park to capture some of the fall foliage in our pictures, and Janine was literally crawling on the ground and shooting through bushes just to make sure we got the perfect shot with the perfect lighting. She also helped smooth any bumps that popped up along the way, such as calling our florist for us when we needed something. Janine provided us with beautiful pictures that both tell 1,000 stories and will last a lifetime. Thank you Janine!

  Janine and Kevin were absolutely amazing to work with. From the first moment I spoke to Janine on the phone, I knew she was the right photographer for us. Her passion for pictures and eye for lighting mixed with her unbelievable talent made every single picture she took perfect. She truly captured every moment of our special day. Looking through our pictures, I feel as I am there in the moment. She was also very patient and fun with our 14 person bridal party. Janine and Kevin are genuinely kind people and I'm so happy we chose them. Highly recommended! 5+++ stars from us!

  From the first day we met Janine we felt an instant connection with her! During the entire process she was so easy to talk to and really took the time to listen to what we wanted. Our engagement pictures were taken out of the state and she was so flexible in driving to the location! She made us feel so comfortable during the engagement shoot and was always adding in humor to help keep us relaxed and natural. Before our wedding day we discussed exactly what pictures were important for us to take, specifically where and with who we wanted to take them with. Finally our wedding day came and she listened to every request! We could not be more happy with our engagement and wedding pictures and could not have imagined anyone else photographing them. Janine was one of the many reasons our wedding day was absolutely perfect and we cannot thank her enough!

  Before we even got engaged, I knew I wanted to use Janine's services. She is an amazing photographer, and is so great to work with! I absolutely love her work and am so happy that she was able to capture my wedding day. Her photos of my wedding took my breath away, and my friends and family were so impressed. In fact, 2 of my friends booked her after seeing my pictures! I am thrilled with every part of our experience with Janine!

  Janine was amazing from day one!! She went out of her way to meet my needs and was absolutely fantastic the day of the event from important things like helping us keep our timeline to minor details like poses for our photos. Our pictures are absolutely amazing and she captured so much emotion that truly tells the story of our wedding day. I would recommend her a hundred times over.

  My wife and I think that Janine is simply great to work with. During events such as a DIY wedding, nearly anything could go wrong. However, after meeting Janine (and subsequently seeing her in action), we quickly realized that we were in good hands. From our initial meeting in our house, Janine intuitively knew what we were looking for in our photographs and what we were trying to capture in the day. As soon as the big day kicked off, we could see that Janine was a professional that has experience with handling children, big families, and distracted wedding parties all at the same time. She did an excellent job at keeping things moving and sticking to the schedule that we desired. She was even flexible enough to make an unplanned stop (x2) on the way to the reception. Not only that, she made the most of the stops and immediately starting working with us to get some wonderful set-ups.
  
  Perhaps most importantly, the product of Janine's professionalism and work (and that of her assistant!) are some absolutely stunning photographs that my wife and I will cherish forever. She absolutely captured everything that we wanted from the day, and even evoked aspects of the wedding that we did not even realized were there. Our friends and family have been raving about the teaser photos that Janine has provided and we can't wait to see what else she has in store for us. From planning to execution, Janine is a talented professional that we would be lucky to work with again.

  Janine was fantastic from the moment we spoke to the day she shot at our wedding. She is professional, calming, funny, sweet and genuine. She was not just our photographer, but was apart of our day and made us feel at ease throughout the whole process. We could go on and on about how wonderful she is, but her photos tell you all you need to know. Make Janine your only chour and you will have the best day and photos. Thank you So much Janine!!

  Janine was the first vendor we hired, and she was also the only vendor we hired without considering others. My husband and I were very meticulous wedding planners. We met with tons of djs, florists, etc and had excel spreadsheets that analyzed every impacting factor. However, after meeting with Janine, we knew she was the best and could not be topped, so we booked her immediately. The breathtaking work on her website was enough of a reason to hire her without any reservations, and her incredible personality was the icing on the cake. Janine was incredibly responsive to our emails and phone calls throughout the entire planning process.  She really put us at ease and made us feel so confident with our decision to use Janine Collette Photography.  Other reviewers have mentioned that Janine reminds them of an old friend, and that observation is on point. Janine made us feel so comfortable on our wedding day and went above and beyond. She even assisted with all of my wardrobe malfunctions (e.g. zipping my dress when no one else could get it to work and helping with my stubborn jewelery). Janine calmly and efficiently captured all of our formal photos, which was not an easy task considering our 22 person bridal party. During the ceremony and reception, she captured incredible shots without being intrusive. We didn't even notice her!   So many guests commented on how amazing she was and how awesome her pictures were. She is truly a talented artist in every sense of the word. Janine knew what shots to take and where to position us based on the lighting, and she knew how to interact with us our bridal party, and family.

  I can't say enough about how much we loved Janine and her assistant Nick! From day one, I knew Janine was going to be awesome to work with. She takes the time to understand the details of your day, your vision, etc. She is attentive and a pleasure to work with. Everything went so smoothly the day of our wedding with our pictures. Our pictures are beautiful! We have already received so many compliments. I highly recommend Janine as a photographer. I hope to work with her again in the future!

  If you look through her website or Wordpress, it's obvious that Janine is a master of her craft. What you can also see is that there is little need for editing - her use of lighting is unique and exceptional. There are so many photographers to choose from when doing your wedding and it's so very hard to pick when you see their "best photos" laid out in front of you. My recommendation? Ask for access to another client's portfolio to see what a real wedding looked like, not their greatest hits. With Janine, any of her recent work highlights her ability to make every single bride of every race and body type look absolutely stunning. Worried about back fat or that weird thing on your arm? Tell her. Love your eyes or the left side of your face because your nose looks amazing? She'll be sure to get your good side. Above all, Janine wants to give you quality that you and your partner will love.
  
  Weddings go by fast - every bride says that and yeah, it's true. Janine made it so easy to enjoy the prep time with my family and bridesmaids without being intrusive or taking time away from those moments. She always requested permission to take any trinkets to use for photographs, was hysterical when we needed everyone to smile, and made me feel absolutely beautiful when doing my private "bride-looking-out-the-window" shots. I felt like I was able to take in my entire day and be in the moment. Yes, it went fast, but I was able to really soak it in without feeling like I was being called away for photos or asking to fake smile with Aunt Bernice. There were no corny jokes, annoying flashes or corralling family members. Janine was so organized and coordinated before hand that it made things so smooth and relaxing. Basically, she made it so I could eat food from cocktail hour AND my dinner reception - how many brides can say that?!
  
  It takes a special person to be able to be as kind, patient and goofy while providing amazing quality. This is Janine. Give her a call :)

  If you are looking for a photographer with an amazing eye, artistic talent, who genuinely cares about her clients, and can capture all of the intimate moments of your day, look no further. Janine Collette Photography will fill all those needs. We were blessed to have been able to work with Janine for our wedding. She wasn't just a photographer but a friend. Janine has ability and an "eye" for light that no other photographer can match. We are so lucky we found her and truly cherish everything she has done for us in helping to commemorate our big day.
  
  Janine knows how to warm up her couples when in front of the camera and made us feel comfortable. Natural candids are definitely a strength but Janine is also a pro at taking detail oriented shots and organizing large groups efficiently while still keeping the energy high. It is clear Janine takes such pride in what she does. Because Janine had not shot at our venue prior to our wedding, she took the time to do a walk through with us and get a feel for the place.
  
  On our wedding, she went around and took all the pictures she needed. She did not need direction as everything came naturally for her. While we were at the house getting ready, it felt like there was a friend there, and this made us all feel so comfortable. This talent enables her to capture natural moments. She never missed an opportunity for a great shot.
  
  Janine wasn't afraid to ask questions and try new things. She was beyond excited when she saw we could go out on a boat at our venue. She even took it a step further and asked if we could get on the island in the lake. This was amazing insight and was such a fun adventure for us on our wedding day.
  
  Janine also has the ability to work with great second shooters. Our boys loved Nick as he was able to fit in and just be one of the guys. The two of them together were a great team. You would be lucky to have Janine as your photographer at your wedding!

  Janine was FABULOUS! She was very flexible about being in contact with me (I lived out of state) and meeting with me a few days before to really nail down the specifics of some photos. Her work is gorgeous and she was absolutely non-intrusive. We barely noticed her during the reception, yet she managed to capture so many wonderful moments.

  Words can’t describe how wonderful Janine’s work is. She was the first photographer we met with. We went to meet her and instantly we felt she was the right choice. In talking to her and getting to know her she was so personable. It felt like we were out with one of our friends that’s how easy it was to talk to her. She understood our vision and all our requests from day one. We sent numerous emails back and forth until the big day. Throughout the whole wedding she took such amazing shots without being intrusive. Looking at all the wedding photos was as if we were reliving the day all over again. One of our friends booked Janine after seeing the photos we posted on facebook. We can’t give Janine enough praise for how wonderful and talented she is and it was truly a pleasure to work with her.

  There are not enough nice things that I can say about Janine. From our very first meeting till the day of, she was easy to work with, flexible and quick to respond if I ever had any questions. The big thing I didn't want on our wedding day was to have a photographer who would be in our face or would have us posed in silly and fake positions. I wanted a photographer that would capture the day authentically. Janine did just that! I hardly saw her and yet she was able to manage getting photos that were so raw and candid and beautiful. I'd recommend her to any bride or to anyone really who wants truly breathtaking photos. You can't go wrong with her!

  After your wedding is over - all your have left are your pictures. That is photography was so important to my husband and I. We were referred to Janine from my sister in law and as soon as we met her we new she was the perfect person to capture the special moments for our wedding at Nanina's on June 12th. She worked with our budget and helped to give us a package that fit our needs. During our wedding (which happened to be one of the hottest days of June 2015) Janine and Nick made sure the heat was no effect. They were funny, calm, and compassionate- we didn't even feel like they were around. Janine was amazing with my 3 flower girls - she gained their trust and due to that they followed Janine to get the best photos. Both Janine and Nick even with the heat, large familes and bridal party- were able to beautifully capture our special day! Thank you to both Janine and Nick for capturing our wedding their your lens!!! You both were amazing!!!
