The Best Photographer!

We are beyond thrilled with the experience we had with Paolo, Jesse, and Maria for our wedding! From start to finish, they exceeded all expectations and made our special day even more memorable.

Paolo, our photographer, was absolutely amazing. Not only was he professional, but he also made us feel completely at ease. His guidance on how to pose for the perfect shots made a huge difference—every picture turned out stunning! His friendly, respectful, and funny personality made working with him an absolute pleasure. He effortlessly captured all the beautiful moments of the day, and we couldn’t be happier with the results.

Jesse and Maria were equally incredible in the planning and editing process. They worked so closely with us, ensuring that every detail was exactly how we envisioned it. They made the planning smooth and stress-free, and their thoughtful input was invaluable. The editing of the photos was done to perfection—each image was polished and vibrant, truly bringing out the best of our wedding day.

Together, this amazing team truly made our wedding unforgettable. They were not only talented professionals but also genuinely wonderful people to work with. We are so grateful for everything they did to make our day even more special. If you’re looking for a team that’s creative, caring, and truly invested in making your day perfect, look no further. Paolo, Jesse, and Maria are simply the best!

The BEST Photographer

If you are looking for the best photographer for your event, look no further. My husband and I used Jesse as our Engagement & Wedding Photographer and he gave us the most amazing photos.

His photos are clearly next-level, but beyond that, he is able to give just enough direction, so the pictures don't look awkward, but still make you comfortlable so they look natural and not posed.

Even if you feel awkward in front of the camera, you still will come away with incredible photos. We cannot recommend Jesse enough!

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!

Are you interested?

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.

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!

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!!!

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!

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!

Choosing Jesse as our photographer for our engagement and wedding photos was an easy decision. He made the whole process enjoyable, natural, and fun!! Jesse is creative, easy to work with, passionate, and is extremely precise with every detail he puts into his work. He captured so many beautiful moments from our wedding; he exceeded our expectations in capturing the details, the emotions, and the stories the photos from our wedding told. He worked diligently throughout the night to edit and put together a preview of some of the photos for our guests to see; we have received so many compliments on our photos! I will most definitely recommend Jesse and his team!

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 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!!

Like most girls, I have dreamt about my wedding day for my entire life. When it's over, all you have are the memories.. and photographs. Picking the right photographer was so important to me! Choosing Jesse to capture our big day was a no brainer. It was the easiest and BEST decision we made. Jesse is incredibly talented, creative, patient, and so much fun to work with. What sets him apart from other photographers is how much he cares. He is passionate about what he does, and that is reflected in his beautiful pictures. Jesse captured every moment and every tiny detail in between. Jesse & his assistant Jeremy made us feel so comfortable and made the entire process such a breeze. Our pictures are absolutely breathtaking, and we could not be happier with them and the awesome experience!! We are forever grateful. Wedding planning is stressful enough, but picking a photographer is so, so easy. I have and will continue to recommend Jesse to all my friends & family. Thank you, 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!

HANDS DOWN BEST IN THE BUSINESS!!! I will first start with giving advice to anyone wanting incredible headshots, engagement photos or wedding photos that will continue to blow you away each time you look at them...book Jesse immediately !!! Jesse Rinka is the definition of an amazing photographer and all around person. From the first time we viewed his online gallery we had a strong feeling he would be our wedding photographer and then we met with him it was a done deal. If you want the most unique photos while dealing with an extremely creative and talented individual this is the guy for you. We visited countless photographers and no one could compare or even come close to the work Jesse produces. He always communicated wonderfully with us, was always available through email and was extremely punctual. Jesse was able to spend a great deal of time with my now wife and bridal party and took the most magnificent shots we have ever seen. He left time to even get shots of me before the ceremony started. Him and his assistant made us feel at ease and extremely comfortable through the whole wedding and took breathtaking shots at our Venue which was at the Brotherhood Winery. We are having trouble picking our favorite pictures because they are all mind blowing. My Wife and I couldn't be happier with Jesse Rinka Photography!!! Everyone we show our pictures to are asking who our photographer was because they have never seen work like that ever in their life !!

Being the Bride, I knew I would be spending the most time with the photographer and I wanted someone that made me feel comfortable...Jesse did exactly that even from the first time we met him! A lot of other photographers we met with were just playing the role of a salesman trying to get us to buy their services, Jesse was not like that AT ALL. He talked to us, got to us as a couple, as people, I never felt like I was being given a sales pitch and that was really important to me. We walked out his studio and we both just knew that he was "the one".

The wedding day was such a breeze...I hate having my picture taken so I was really nervous about having all that attention on me and what not but again Jesse made me feel totally at ease, telling me how to stand, what to do with my hands, etc. Our pictures turned out stunning...we love every single one of them!!!

Of all the decisions we made about our wedding, I think picking Jesse was by far the best decision we made! He is such a sweetheart...we've been recommending him to anyone we know that is getting married.

Jesse is great! The photos of our wedding are amazing! He was great guiding us on best angles for the photos and during the party he was super discrete, allowing us and our guest to feel comfortable while he was capturing unique and original in the moment photos. I highly recommend him!

Our wedding was the 3rd time that my wife and I retained Jesse Rinka. First two times were for my wife's pregnancy shoot and cake smash for our sons first birthday. Needless to say, we know exactly who to call next time we need to hire a photographer. We just received the proofs from our wedding day and are having a hard time narrowing down which shots to use for our album. Professional, creative, and a pleasure to work with. Thank you Jesse!

We couldn't have asked for a better experience. He listened to what we wanted for our pictures and executed to perfection. Jesse and his team made us feel completely comfortable the day of the wedding and the pictures reflect this. I would highly recommend his services to anyone looking to capture life's special moments.

Jesse was recommended to us by our wedding planner for our Central Park wedding, He was wonderful to work with and captured our wedding perfectly. We loved his photography style from his work portfolio and knew immediately that he was the photographer we wanted. He was professional, friendly and we had so much fun during the shoot. The final photographs were absolutely breathtaking! We highly recommend Jesse for any event.

I’m so happy that I chose to use Jesse Rinka Photography! I’m in love with my photos and I know I’ll cherish them for decades to come. Jesse was incredibly wonderful to work with. He made both my fiancée and myself feel incredibly comfortable while we were shooting and we had such a fun time! My fiancée typically hates getting his photo taken and I thought these photos would be a challenge, but I was wrong! Jesse made him feel comfortable and all smiles and laughing were genuine! I will definitely be using Jesse for any events in the future. He was a joy to work with, very responsive with all communication, and delivered high quality photos.

It was such a pleasure to work with Jesse from start to finish. He takes great pride in in his work. He's easy to work with, very talented photographer. He knows exactly which shots/moments to capture. He pays attention to detail! Many different options for packages. A photographer is an area of your budget where you don't cut corners. you will not be disappointed!

We found Jesse through our wedding planner - A Central Park Wedding. Our day and moments in Central Park were captured perfectly. We are so pleased with the wedding shots from our day and appreciated the flexibility as well. We had to move our wedding day due to inclement weather and Jesse was able to work with us to accommodate our needs. Amazing work!

Jesse was wonderful to work with! We recently got engaged and wanted to do an engagement shoot. We had seen some of Jesse's work and instantly fell in love. He is extremely professional and great to work with. He gives enough direction to take exceptional photos without feeling or looking too posed. He has a great perspective and also listens to you. We wanted to include some photos with an American flag because my fiance is in the army, needless to say we are very patriotic. We showed him a photo and he went above and beyond to not only get the look we wanted but also capturing gorgeous pictures with his incredible talent. He even brought a flag with him incase ours didn't work out! It was an incredible experience and I highly recommend Jesse for your special occasion!

I highly recommend Jesse Rinka to all future couples out there, you will not be disappointed.

From the very moment we first reached out to Jesse Rinka to shoot the first look on our wedding we knew we made the right decision. Jesse is very kind, responsive and professional. He really enjoys what he does and his work backs it up! Our photos truly tell a story! He ran around like a mad man envisioning his shots even before we started shooting. His work speaks for itself. Jesse was already booked on our wedding, but knew we dreamed of working with him on our big day, so he went out of his way to make that happen, and we will forever be grateful!! I will continue to recommend Jesse Rinka to everyone and anyone looking to capture beautiful timeless photos!

I decided to use Jesse because I saw him work his magic as a bridesmaid at my best friend's wedding. I recently had him for my own wedding and wow is all I have to say. Jesse was SO very professional but also fun and extremely down to earth. I already have all of my proofs that are provided from on online gallery that are absolutely beautiful! I highly recommend him to every bride out there. Just the consult alone will show you what kind of person he is.

We have used Jesse for the past two years to photograph our family events. We found Jesse through his website, but at the time he was booking weddings through Ricky Restiano. He shot for our wedding, then my pregnancy photos and most recently my son's baptism. He is creative when it comes to his work. He is a man with a vision and is able to express the exact look/photo he is going for with ease. A huge plus is that he is also such a nice guy. When Jesse told us that he was going off on his own and opening up his own studio I couldn't have been more excited for him. We will continue to use him and only him in the future!

This past weekend Jesse photographed our engagement session in Central Park. We had SUCH an awesome time!! Jesse has such a way with how he shoots where you don't feel shy taking photos in front of him (I am normally a pretty shy person). He allowed me and my finance to just act natural in front of the camera. He showed us some quick photos in the camera as we were taking them and I was blown away! I can't wait for him to shoot our big day and am so happy for him that he is following his dream. He truly was born to do this.

Jesse Rinka is an amazing photographer! Not only did he take beautiful pictures of my son's baptism but he went above and beyond to deliver everything he knew we wanted. He is extremely dedicated and professional. His courteous and friendly nature make everyone feel at ease (even those that may not enjoy having their picture taken). I am so glad I told Jesse to take pictures of this very special event because he captured moments I will cherish forever. I cannot fully express how happy we are with his work

Jesse's talents stretch beyond imagination, with his beautiful artistry and creativity in photography! I have had the pleasure of having portrait shots taken, as well as having had Jesse take our son's infant photos and baptismal photos, all of which we love and adore! We are so grateful to have had him capture such special moments in our son's life, giving us these beautiful memories to treasure forever!

We had the very distinct pleasure of working with Jesse on a few occasions. Most recently, he was the photographer for my baby's baptism. He was so good with him and took the most beautiful pictures of the baby, family, beautiful garb, and the entire event. They are so precious. Also, after we got engaged we had the most inspired and beautiful couples shoot. Years later those remain to be my favorite pictures of us which I will always cherish. Jesse is talented, professional, reliable, courteous, creative and extremely dedicated!!

Jesse Rinka is by far the best photographer. My husband and I visited a few of the other local photographers before deciding on Jesse, but none of them stood out the way he did. His professionalism made my husband and I feel at ease and his work was simply amazing. His work is just amazing. On my wedding day, he was very attentive and made sure he caught the perfect moments. I seen the proofs and they are absolutely beautiful. I cannot wait to see the final product from my day. I definitely recommend!! I will definitely be using him in the future. He showed pictures that he took of some of the baby and maternity shoots and they are absolutely stunning.

I had hired Jesse to do some promotional head shots for me and they turned out fantastic. I'm a chef and recently have become a celebrity chef so I needed pics to send to my fans. Well the quality of work that Jesse created was totally out of this world! Thanks again Jesse for all you did. Regards, Family Chef Vince Leone

Just wanted to drop a note and say what a great and fantastic photographer Jesse was. Since this was our second wedding we wanted to do something different so Jesse took us to take pics outdoors at the Castle in Westchester. The pics came out amazing. The techniques Jesse used were awesome. I would recommend him in a heartbeat. Thanks Jesse for making out wedding spectacular. Vince and Maria

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 !

Jesse Rinka is a highly artistic, extremely professional, and an incredibly talented photographer. My husband and I were married in Rye, NY a few years ago and we were so pleased by the photos for our album. Working with Jesse on the day of our wedding, and throughout the entire process, was an absolute pleasure due to his skill and creativity. Jesse most certainly captured the essence of the day in a way we could not have imagined. Jesse was always in the right place at the right time while never interfering with the flow of the wedding. When working with him, Jesse’s passion for photography and achieving an excellent final product is immediately evident. I couldn’t be happier with my pictures and the entire experience. I definitely recommend Jesse for your special day!

We hired jesse for our 9/28 wedding and I couldnt reccomend him enough to all future brides Looking for a one of a kind photographer. He made us feel comfortable and worked really well with our other vendors ( caterers, video Grapher etc) most importantly I still receive compliments on our wedding photos a year and a half later. I couldn't be more happy with having him capture one of the most important days of our lives.

When I decided to propose to my now wife, I did it in a very unconventional way. I invited our closest friends and family to join in on the fun. I had planned a very elaborate scavenger hunt, and wanted the end result to be captured in timeless photos. The only "problem" seemed to be that we were a same sex couple and I was concerned that finding an open minded photographer to document those moments would be difficult. I reached out to Jesse and discussed with him some of the details (complicated ones), the look I was hoping to achieve with our photos (very play-by-play), and that we were, in fact, a same sex couple. Not only was he open to what I had in mind, but the fact that we were two women never once deterred him from offering us and delivering his best work!

Working with Jesse was awesome! He guided us, let us pose naturally but also gave us so many ideas, and our photos were phenomenal! I couldn't have asked for a better experience for our first time in a formal shoot. In fact, we loved him and his work so much, that when my wife got pregnant with twins, we chose him to do our maternity shoot, and honestly, we were so impressed and pleased with his work, that we have again asked him to photgraph our boys for their Christening.

Jesse is punctual, attentive to detail, willing to answer any and all questions you may have, and prompt in his responses. He knows his stuff, and will be our family photographer as we continue to watch our children grow and expand our family.
