Jainé Kershner Photography — Local services in New York

We can’t speak highly enough of Jainé and having had her as our engagement and wedding photographer! Jainé’s work speaks for itself - her bright, airy, romantic images are simply stunning, and from the first time we visited her website and social media, we knew she simply had to be our wedding photographer. We clicked during the initial phone call and once we knew she had our date available, it felt meant to be. Jainé takes time to get to know her clients at a personal level, and it shows in their comfort and ease behind her lens. My husband and I can be quite camera shy, but Jainé makes you feel instantly at home. She not only trekked out to Greenport for our engagement session, she also shot our wedding on the North Fork of Long Island, and as soon as she arrived on site, I can’t even begin to tell you the sense of calm I felt having her at the creative helm - and just having her there personally. She has an incredible eye and the ability to identify beautiful photo backdrops. Not to mention, she supported us through a postponement and then a venue cancellation less than two months out from our wedding date, checking in to see how we were doing and offering suggestions wherever possible. We cannot wait to have Jainé with us for future family milestones, and truly consider her a friend. She is beyond amazing, and if you’re lucky enough to have her with you, know that you’re in the most incredible hands. The sneak peeks we’ve received of our wedding day have had us swooning, and we can’t wait to see our final gallery. We love Jainé so much, and can’t even begin to put into words how grateful we feel for her talent, warmth, and presence, not to mention the family heirlooms she's created that we will cherish for...

It took me exactly one look through Jainé’s website and one introductory phone conversation to know that we HAD to have her as our wedding day photographer. You don’t need me to tell you that Jainé is a brilliant film photographer who uses natural light to create truly magical, timeless, romantic photographs that we will treasure for our lifetime; you can see that for yourselves on her website! So I’ll focus on our experience working with her! I love that Jainé is so organized and detail oriented, but more importantly, I love that she is sweet, funny, and managed to make my husband and I feel like we have known her for ages – she is exactly who we wanted to have with us for 11 hours on our wedding day!! Starting with engagement photos, Jainé made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera. Several months before the wedding, Jainé put together our very detailed photography timeline, sent us more helpful wedding day tips, and answered a million questions, all while feeling more like a friend than a vendor. When the wedding day finally arrived, it was perfect. Jainé had gone scouting the week of the wedding to find the PERFECT spots in Central Park to take our pictures. She managed the timeline like a well-oiled machine and the shots that she captured were BEYOND MY WILDEST DREAMS. I know because she sent us a few teasers immediately afterward! Jainé, I could go on and on singing your praises, but Jared and I can’t thank you enough for all that you did for us throughout this process. We love you and will have you capture many more special moments...

When it comes to photography, there is simply no one like Jainé! She is not only greatly skilled at her craft, but her genuine care for her couples takes the experience of working with her to a whole new level. Jainé has now photographed two engagement sessions and one mini wedding ceremony for me and my husband, and I will ONLY turn to her to capture the big moments in our future (including our Covid postponed "real" wedding next year). Jainé makes sure that you are getting exactly what you want when it comes to your photos and, even though I know she's thinking of a lot (like lighting, scenery, where people are standing), she makes the whole process SO easy and stress-free. She made me and my camera-shy husband feel extremely comfortable through all of our sessions, and she always takes the time to explore new photo spots or meaningful places so that we can capture those perfect memories. Beyond this, Jainé was an amazing support system during the scary and uncertain time of being a "Covid bride." She stayed with us through every up and down and we never felt lost or alone as we navigated two postponements and multiple new date options. She truly cares about her couples, and genuinely loves being a part of their love stories, and that is what makes Jainé such a special person. At this point, I consider Jainé family and would not recommend anyone else for wedding/life...
