I'm all about the experience

No two weddings are the same, and neither is my approach to capturing yours. I love nothing more than creating space for moments to naturally unfold. I aim to make your day feel effortless and free of feeling like every second needs to be perfect with guidance when needed and plenty of chances for you two to do your thing. I love preserving the day exactly how it felt and helping you relive it in every single frame.

Laid back with a dash of elegance

The Process

A Creative Partnership

We’ll get to all the details, such as timelines and locations, later, but for now, I’m always an email, text, or call away if you need anything at all. As we get to know each other over the coming weeks and months, know that I’m here to make this easy and, most importantly, fun.

Step Three

A Moment to Connect

Ready to discuss your day in more detail? You can begin by completing my inquiry form. I’ll then send more details about my approach, photography collections, and invite you to connect on a call. This call is a great opportunity to ask away and share your vision.

Step One

Your Curated Collection

After our call, I’ll send a customized proposal detailing how our time together (and your day) comes to life. Once you’ve signed the contract and paid your deposit, your date has been secured and you can count me in.

Step Two

Get in Touch

– Emma and Ryan

"We were blown away by how the photos transported us right back to how we felt on the day."

A 25% non-refundable retainer fee is due, along with a signed contract to ensure your date is saved in my calendar. After that, we can divide your remaining 75% into one, two, or three payments, due one month prior to your wedding date.

What is the cost to reserve our date?

Absolutely! Film is included in all of my wedding collections and available as an add-on for my couples sessions.

Do you shoot on film as well?

Yes! We can add additional hours to your wedding package, an engagement session, bridal portraits, and the list goes on. You’ll receive more details about my à la carte offerings when I send your proposal through.

Do you have à la carte offerings?

You can expect to receive your full wedding gallery within 10-12 weeks. The best part, though, is receiving 50+ photos within a week after your wedding day. :)

When will we get our photos back?

You will have access to your photos for up to one year; however, I always recommend downloading them to multiple locations (Google Photos, hard drive, etc.).

How long will we have access to our photos?

Second shooters are included in all of my wedding collections to ensure we have coverage for every special moment of your wedding.

Do we need a second shooter?

These depend on your chosen destination and type of collection. Any destination more than 30 miles outside of New York (10028 zip code) will include travel fees for gas and, if necessary, lodging, ferry, or plane tickets. For weddings, all travel fees are included in my collections. Another (and more affordable) option is to meet me on any of my adventures for a discount on your travel fee. You can see my upcoming travel schedule and wish list here.

What are your travel fees?

I try not to give an exact number of photos you will receive, but I do deliver every good photo I take. Typically, that results in around 75-100 images per hour.

How many photos will we receive?

Each of my cameras has two SD card slots and writes to each card simultaneously. When I get home, I also back up your cards on two separate hard drives and keep them safe until after I deliver your full gallery. So that is four different places your photos are saved!

How can you ensure my photos are safe?

I’m here for you! Feel free to email me at jjwilkinsphoto@gmail.com, and I’ll get back to you shortly.

I have a question that wasn’t answered here.
