Janelle Brooke Photography, Inc.

Janelle and her crew do such a beautiful job! From our unique engagement photos on the Ferry and in Connecticut, to handling our wedding with grace, she is perfect :) She is truly invisible as she documents your day, yet is everywhere you want her to be :) I can't wait to see the rest of our photos, but if our "sneak peak" is any indication, I have no doubt they're beautiful :)

I don't know where to start. When me and the future hubby got engaged the only aspect I was extremely particular about was my Wedding Photographer. I've seen many an album from family and friends over the last few years that go married and I always felt like something was missing in what I was looking at. I met with several photographers and came across the picture shown in Janelle Brooke Photography's profile, a gorgeous bride sprawled upside down on the bed. Although I don't consider myself "radical" or an "art enthusiast" there was something about this shot that screamed unique, special, AWESOME, and I was just drawn to it. When I met Janelle she took me by surprise as she was younger then me but has that way about her to put me at ease. She hugged me versus shaking my hand, and I was blown away by the photos on the wall of her studio. I truly feel that JBP is bound for great things and if I waited any longer I would not be able to afford her. Celebrities would use her, that is how good I think she is. We had our E Session in September and I was BLOWN away with the results. My Future Hubby is a guys guy and only did the shoot for me and she catered to him and made him feel comfortable and it showed in our pictures. I can't say enough good things about Janelle and Terri and her team. Book her while you can!

Janelle Brooke Photography is amazing!! My husband and I saw each other before the ceremony to take pictures with Janelle and Terrie, and we say it is one of our favorite and most memorable parts of our day. They really made it all about us, and gave us so much "you and me" time, which you really don't get a lot of thru out the day. I am obsessed with the images she has shown us so far and am really looking forward to seeing our proofs and designing our album with them! Thank you so much JBP!!

Authentic and Gifted Photographer!! posted 11/5/2011 Janelle and Terry were an absolute pleasure to work with! I planned my wedding in seven months and to say I was a little overwhelmed was an understatement! Upon meeting Janelle, I instantly felt at ease! As we spoke and she told me more about herself and her style, I felt a connection to her. Out of all of the wedding vendors I met with, she stood out as the most sincere and committed to what I wanted as a bride. Choosing a photographer became a "no brainer"...........it was JBP for us without a second thought! Our engagement session went beautifully and we received our photos in a timely fashion. They were perfect............candid, artistic and personalized to our needs. On our wedding day, I was frazzled because my wedding bouquet wasn't what I wanted. As soon as I saw Janelle, I knew everything was going to be okay. She catered to my needs and captured the type of photographs I wanted, even though it rained on my wedding day! JBP stands out above the rest...........PROFESSIONAL, GIFTED, SINCERE, ACCOMODATING, KIND!!!! We love her and HIGHLY RECOMMEND JBP!!!!!!

Photographs were the most important thing to me next to the man I decided to marry! That being said, I had a very difficult time finding a photographer that I was comfortable capturing the most important day of my life. Once I saw the JBP team's work I knew it was something very special. As soon as I talked and met with Janelle we had no doubts that every one of our expectations would be met. we had an instant sense of comfort that Janelle understood our vision and would do everything possible to make it happen. We worked with Janelle before the wedding for our engagement photos and boudoir photos. We were so happy with those that we could only begin to imagine how fantastic our wedding photos would be. Janelle and Terrie were there every step of the way, providing feedback and holding my hand when I needed it. As the wedding day came closer we did a day of run throughout so we had a solid day of plan and Janelle helped put it together from minute to minute. The original forecast was rain and Janelle had a great back up plan, reassuring me that it wouldnt rain (which it didn't :)) and totaly confidence. On our day, JBP was calm and comforting. By this time Janelle and Terrie were our friends and no longer a wedding vendor I felt cool and confident knowing they were there not only to photograph our big day but we knew if anything went wrong they would be right there ready to take it all on. Well, of course some things went wrong! I didn't eat all day and was feeling super sick after the ceremony. Janelle got me food and water to make sure I was ok while Terrie captured all the action. What photographer actually does that?! It was very special. Then we had a small fire at our wedding. Although not ideal we all rolled with it and all of JBP was flexible. They even made sure they stayed as late as necessary to capture all the details. JBP worked hard to get us our sneak peek before our honeymoon which was great. Our photos are incredible, they speak for themselves. What is hard to find is an amazing team such as this. It has been an honor and a privilege to work with this amazing team. At the end of the day we made new friends and we feel like the lucky ones!

After meeting with Janelle the first time, I knew I had to have her as my wedding photographer. From that very first(and brief) meeting I felt that she had an understanding of the type of people we were and the kinds of photos we wanted. The vast array of offerings from photo canvases to photo booths was very appealing and something that I wanted to take full advantage of. My husband actually talked me into the engagement session and I'm glad he did. It gave us an even better chance to work one-on-one with Janelle. She worked around our crazy, NYC schedules and some ridiculous weather to make the shoot go off without a hitch. We got the proofs back super quick and they were breathtaking. Better than I could have imagined. We got to be completely ourselves. Believe it or not, she even hooked me up with my fantastic hair & make up team. The week before the wedding she was best friend- reassuring me about the timeline of the day. Answering all of eighty million questions with a smile on her face. The wedding day was beyond words. She showed up before the sun was peeking out from behind the clouds. All of our photos that we absolutely had to have were taken before the ceremony even began(another thing my husband talked me into). Did I mention that we had the photo booth at the reception? It was the biggest hit of the day. At one point there was a line of people waiting to get in! All of our guests complimented and thanked us for it. I have found a photographer for life, or as long as she stays in the business.

From the second we met with Janelle we knew she was the photographer for us. We immediately clicked with her and we're completely in love with all of her photos! We did our engagement session with her and Terrie and we had the best day with them, it just felt like we were hanging out with 2 friends for the day! Then Janelle and Paolo shot our wedding and the pictures came out AMAZING! Her pictures are so artistic and creative. We continue to get more and more compliments on our photos every day and everyone is always telling us how awesome our photographer is! On the day of the wedding, we were running a little late with our hair and make up but Janelle made sure to let me know that it was my day and that everything would work out just perfect and not to worry. She really helped keep me calm when I was freaking out about it. She made sure to capture every single moment of the wedding and did a really great job at it. I'd recommend JBP to anyone I know that's getting married! They are the BEST!

When looking for a wedding photographer, I didn't want a photographer that gave me good or ok photos. I wanted someone that would give me AMAZING photos! And JBP did that and more! Janelle and her team went above and beyond to capture every single moment of my day. Her eye for creativity is astounding which shines through in every shot. Her team was nothing but nice to work with, and they were not intrusive at all. The quality of work that JBP brings to the table is nothing but their best which is exactly what a bride wants on her day!I would recommend JBP to everyone!

Janelle and her team were supportive from start to finish of the wedding process. Janelle herself is easy-going and a pleasure to work with, even during those stressful moments! Janelle was 7 or 8 months pregnant for our wedding and still pulled through and was pleasant and professional. I was especially appreciate and impressed with her offering a second photographer with no charge just in case she wasn't able to get around as well as usual. She ended up being vibrant and energetic throughout our whole wedding despite the 85 degree sunny day and when some stressful moments arose, Janelle was very calming and took charge so that we didn't have to worry. Almost immediately Janelle and her team provided a "sneak peek" of our wedding videos which was so exciting! Her photographs showcase her and her teams talent from the actual taking of the pictures and the polishing up prints. Even the prints we received came in a beautiful box with our picture on it. I have no complaints and would recommend Jannelle Brooke Photography to ever bride and groom I know!

Janelle was amazing! She truly has an eye for photography and is extremely accommodating. She made sure to get all the pictures I asked her to and she, Paolo and Jess made the process a lot of fun! I dealt with Janelle personally from my first meeting with her, until (and including), the big day. Janelle was professional, artistic, creative, and fun. She took the time to get to know me and my husband, and what we were looking for in our wedding photography. I felt extremely comfortable having her photograph the most important and memorable day of my life. I highly recommend Janelle Brooke Photography!

JBP photographed my wedding 9/2/11, as well as our Engagement shoot. I knew I had nothing to worry about with her. I visited with 6 other photographers before I found her on The best of weddings list. I knew right away she would be perfect! The work of JBP was exactly what I fell in love with. When I first met with Janelle, I was sold and booked her on the spot. The pictures came out amazing, I can't stop looking at them. I have had numerous compliments on them as well! Having the moments captured perfectly by JBP Is such an amazing thing to have, but also having them there on our day was a great relief. I would be reminded to "breathe" when I'd get a little overwhelmed with the hectic ness around us, that one little word by Janelle made me totally relax & remember that this is what we planned for. JBP even ran to the store for the groomsmen so that they wouldn't re-route an entire limo and cause us to be late for our photo location. They were amazing, and truely a pleasure to work with. We love JBP!! "The Mehrs"

My husband and I absolutely love Janelle and her staff, she is an amazing photographer and person. She was the BEST vendor we choose for our wedding. We loved our experience with her

We don't even know how to put into words..."Janell Brooke RULES!!!!!" She exceeded our expectations on so many different levels. From beginning to end, she was with us every step of the way. Always making sure we were OK. Our awesome engagement shoot at Coney Island to our fabulous wedding at Land's End. Her artistic vision is amazing. We loved all our photos.

My husband and I meet with countless photographers before we blown away by our initial encounter with Janelle. Our believe in her was further enhanced by our time spent with her during our engagement shoot. She knew what we were about with only meeting with us a handful times, and to say we were happy with our wedding photos would be the understatement of the millenium. She captured every moment of our wedding day and we are forever grateful to her and her team. We can't wait for the day after shoot with Janelle! Thank you, thank you, thank you Janelle!! We made the right choice with you!

I cannot speak highly enough about Janelle Brooke Photography!! Janelle and her entire team were outstanding in every measure, from the first interview, to our amazing engagement session in New York City, to our incredible wedding day out in Montauk, to the album process and all of the professional services she offers after the big day. I am a tad OCD and she continues to blow even me away with her attention to detail. The photographs Janelle took will be treasured for a lifetime, and we receive compliments on them constantly, they really are breathtaking. Her ideas on both creative angles and locations led to fantastic shots, I wish I could put every single one up on our wall! We had quite a few hiccups on our day that could have ruined it, from a still drunk runaway maid-of-honor to a train derailment and missing bus with half our guests, yet she went out of her way to keep me (five months pregnant) calm and upbeat, and actually had us all laughing. Janelle was unobtrusive taking photographs at the event, our friends and family raved about her, it honestly was like having a close friend taking the photographs, not someone I had just met a year before. You barely realized she and her assistant were there yet they captured every moment we could have asked for – and that was after they drove all the way out to Montauk and stayed over the night before just to ensure promptness for our daytime wedding that started with hair and make-up at 7am. Thomas and I will always be grateful for having chosen her as our wedding photographer, and best of all, we made a new friend!Our greatest compliment besides all of the recommendations we hand out about her is the fact that we will be going back to her for all our family photography needs in the future – she is just that good!!

From the moment I met Janelle, I knew she was "the one". She is so passionate, skillful, friendly and caring. We started off with an engagement shoot...we picked the location, and left the rest up to Janelle. Her creativity is amazing and we were more than happy with our photos. I couldn't wait for the wedding. Along the road to the big day, Janelle was constantly in touch and always there when I had a question or concern no matter how silly it was. The day of my wedding, when all the nerves hit, she was very calming and patient. She dealt with my huge wedding party (22) quickly and efficiently, and got me to my cocktail hour which was our biggest request. I received my proofs online in speedy time, and the proofs arrived in the mail with a personalized Thank you card....yes ..she was thanking us!!! We can not put into words how happy we are with her, and want to get married again, just to enjoy more pictures. We are looking forward to our album designing process!

My husband and I are so grateful that we found Janelle to be our wedding photographer this past summer. From the first time we met with her, we knew she was perfect for us- caring, dedicated, good-hearted, and of course immensely talented! She understands how stressful it can be to plan a wedding and is sensitive to her clients' needs at all times. Both she and her assistants are simply wonderful. We LOVE our photos and cannot wait to see our completed album. We would (and do!) recommend her to everyone who needs a photographer!

Have you ever heard the saying "You get what you pay for?" Well, Janelle Brooke Photography was worth every penny! To fully understand why I mentioned this saying, I need to tell you how I ended up finding Janelle Brooke Photography. When I was looking for a photographer, I thought that I would find the best price with quality work to fit my budget. But unfortunately, the first photographer I booked only gave me the great price. I can not stress how important it is to make sure you get an engagement shoot with the photographer you choose. That time you spend with them will show you a little bit of how your wedding day will be and what your photos will look like. The first photographer we booked gave us an engagement shoot. When I got our proofs back I was horrified to see that they were a nightmare. Everything about them were horrible. My fiance and I decided it was better to lose our deposit with them and find another photographer. That is when I came across Janelle Brooke Photography. We were so Impressed with her website that we had to book an appointment to meet her right away. As soon as we meet Janelle we fell in love with her and booked her on the spot! Even though she was more then we wanted to spend, it was SO WORTH the extra money. The quality of her work is amazing. She even edited ALL of our proofs! Her staff was so wonderful and helpful. She made us feel so comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera. Our Engagement Shoot and Wedding Day photos make me cry every time I look at them. They are better then we could have ever imagined them to be. Janelle Brooke Photography goes above and beyond on every detail of your special day. I recommend her to everyone I meet and I can not wait to use her again in the future for all of our family affairs!!!!

Jared and I absolutely fell in love with Janelle from the very beginning. She was so accommodating even before we booked her. She's based in Northport and we live in Brooklyn, needless to say it was difficult finding time to get out to Long Island to meet with all of our potential vendors. Without us even asking, Janelle offered to come out to Brooklyn with her albums and samples to meet with us at our apartment. This was the first time, and certainly not the last time, that Janelle went above and beyond for us, exceeding our expectations (and we weren’t even officially her clients yet). A few months before the wedding, Janelle offered to meet with us to do a "walk through" at the venue...to look for picture spots, and even offered to drive around with us to a few parks and beaches to see where we wanted to do the pictures prior to the ceremony. We mentioned this to our friends and they would look at us in awe and say, “how much extra are you paying?” But that was the thing…it’s little things like this that set Janelle Brooke Photography apart from the others…that willingness to go out of the way for her clients, and the genuine excitement that comes along with it. Janelle was always available to talk ideas through or to answer questions…we actually relied on her through the whole process to organize a timeline of the day for us, and it worked out perfectly (who needs a wedding planner when you have an amazing photographer). The day of… Janelle was my source of calm. She would see whenever I got stressed and would tell me to take a breath and smile. Absolutely Amazing.Thanks to the artistic and creative vision of Janelle Brooke and her exceptional team, the pictures from our Wedding Day came out beautiful beyond words. Anybody who sees our pictures can’t help but rave about how original and breathtaking they are. We were lucky enough to be one of the proud winners of JBP’s Love Story Contest, and we had so much fun with the JBP team at our Bridal Session just a few weeks ago. I hope Janelle is ready for pregnancy sessions and family portrait sessions, because as I told her today on the phone…after shooting all of these weddings, these brides and future brides are going to be coming back to her for many years to come. Thank you for everything Janelle!

I would choose Janelle Brooke again in a heartbeat!I cannot say enough good things about the personalized service Janelle Brooke offered at my wedding. Even though my contract was for 10 hours, she stayed for about 12 the day of to make sure all essential shots were taken. It was nice to have complete trust in her artistic vision and photography skills. She went above and beyond making sure that my vision for the photos were fulfilled by printing out inspiration photos I gave her as well as visiting the location of the photo site the week before to plan some of the shots ahead of time! I was so nervous the wedding day since we were running late, and Janelle was wonderful about keeping all the make-up artists on schedule and being flexible about the getting ready shots. My bouquet did not come on time, and she came up with such great ideas to get beautiful portraits, using and arranging some of the objects in the room. These shots looked better than if I had the flowers! She is also has a fast turnaround with sending digital albums and proofs. Everyone was amazed they came back so quickly and I was able to send out thank you cards a month later, which is pretty unusual. My entire experience with Janelle was special, personalized, calming (also unusual!), friendly, and professional. She was the best choice I made for the whole wedding process.
