Jess is magic to shoot with. She has the rare gift of helping everyone feel at ease in front of the camera -- in spite of nerves, stress, toddlers, or all of the above! Any anxiousness on our end has always been met with empathy, calm professionalism, and reassuring kindness. As a photographer of 19 years myself, I know how much heart, skill, and intuition it takes to create images that feel both beautiful and honest. There are very few creatives I trust with the intimate seasons of our lives the way I trust Jess. Jess is gracious, professional, thoughtful, and uniquely gifted. Her work has documented our family through so many chapters, and each gallery feels like a gift -- tender, timeless, and artful. We are so grateful for the way she continues to preserve our memories over the years!

We're saddened to write this review - we had hired Jessica for our engagement photos and for our…read morewedding, and it was a very negative experience unfortunately. While her website and Instagram is beautiful, and she is lovely in the first initial call - once we signed the contract and paid the deposit, her customer service drastically changed unfortunately. First, when it came to finding a time for our engagement photos, we had to chase for avails, and when she did finally respond, we had to work around her inflexible schedule. She includes 'styling and location assistance' in her contract, but when I asked her for suggestions, she barely had any input. We felt like an afterthought to her. Then comes the actual photos, we received the gallery on the last possible day before it would've been a breach of contract, and we were truly shocked at the results. Please find the attached photos - they're washed out, the skies are oddly grey (I've attached photos of the real colorful sunset that day), and the coloring doesn't seem to be in line with her portfolio at all. We gently reached out asking if she had any solutions to bring back the colors to the sky and she responded defensively with no willingness to address our concerns. We would have been okay with any kind of editing ideas but instead, she cited "skin tone" as the reason why we didn't have accurate true-to-color skies. For context, I'm a woman of color. I work in TV, and accurate white balance rendering was extremely important to us. We then realized that her portfolio on her website is very selective - there are many galleries that she doesn't publically share. We then connected with another previous client of hers who shared the same greivances about her customer service and professionalism. The other bride (also a person of color) said Jessica was "very uncooperative" on the wedding day and that there was drama with the other vendors. The other bride also mentioned she didn't get all the photos she asked for. Furthermore, our contract included 'minor retouching' but she didn't seem to have retouched anything at all - she didn't edit any blemishes (a small skin spot) or tan lines. When we asked if she could soften the tan lines, she said I would have to pay her "photoshop expert" $30/photo to get the tanlines retouched. I work with editing houses for work, and when I asked them, they were surprised and asked what would be considered "minor retouching" in her eyes. We also later learned from a few other planners in the industry who had bad experiences with her - they said she was unresponsive and uncommunicative. Our own planner at the time, in her experience of over ten years, said she never experienced such defensive, cold, and unprofessional customer service from a wedding vendor before. Usually editing or offering a reshoot is one of the many ways to resolve the problem. Please take a look at her emails, her language, her tone, and her work attached - they speak for themselves. If you're a couple looking for a wedding photographer, I'd be wary of dealing with this much unnecessary stress. We lost $6,000 in our 50% deposit to Jessica as she refused to find any solutions or provide any kind of partial refund despite the clear issues she created. We were very willing to work on a solution with her, whether it was some sort of editing answer or a partial refund, as I truly didn't want to write a negative review, especially for a small artist business. But when I advised her that I may be leaving a review, she threatened us with "legal action" (please see the email screenshot) - which is very strange and actually impossible, as the Consumer Review Fairness Act states that it is illegal to penalize or threaten customers when they post an honest review. She also immediately blocked us on Instagram pettily, when our emails to her have always been civil. We are now reluctantly pursuing the necessary legal action as she sent us a cease-and-desist letter for writing a review (which is the kind of customer service she provides). We're happy to provide more information and evidence if you need.

Max, Cath, and their entire team were such a joy to work with :))…read more When I was looking for photographers, I knew exactly how I wanted our wedding to feel. Romantic, moody, dreamy, emotional, and a little cinematic. Looking through our gallery now, I genuinely don't know how they managed to capture it all so perfectly. Beyond the photos themselves, they made the entire experience so much fun. My husband and I aren't professional models by any means ;D but Max, Cath, and their team (their videographer) made us feel so comfortable the entire day. They were constantly hyping us up, making us laugh, and helping us feel confident in front of the camera. They were incredibly patient, kind, and positive from start to finish, which made such a difference on a day that can feel overwhelming at times. And honestly, the photos speak for themselves. They didn't just capture what our wedding looked like, they captured what it felt like. Looking through the gallery takes me right back to those moments. I especially love is how artistic their work is. The photos feel timeless but still creative and unique. Some of my favorite images genuinely look like scenes from a movie. They somehow captured both the big moments and all the little details that made our wedding feel like us. My only regret is not being able to get their one-day edit video If you're considering it, DO IT. I'm actually sad I missed out because I know it would have been incredible. If you're looking for photographers who will not only deliver beautiful photos but also give you an amazing experience throughout the process, Max and Cath are 1000% worth it. They are talented, kind, professional, and truly care about their couples. We are so grateful they were part of our wedding day, and we'll be cherishing these photos forever!

From the very beginning, Max and Cath were transparent with us and genuinely wanted to make sure our special day was a day to remember. They took time to get to know us and ask us what we were looking for in our photos and thoroughly went over with the details of our wedding once we booked with them. They were easy to communicate with and collaborate with as well! I'm very shy when it comes to photos but Max, Cath and their team helped me come out of my shell and were able to take amazing pictures of my husband and me. In addition, they surprised us towards the end of our wedding and showed us a same day edit video that captured all the highlights of our day. It was amazing how they were able to put together such a fun and heart warming video of our day. I've been to a good amount of weddings and I've never seen anything like this! I can't thank you guys enough for capturing such a memorable day for us. If you guys are looking for photographers and videographers for your wedding, you can stop looking now and choose this husband and wife duo! They are the best!

Sam was…read moreeverything I was looking for but had difficulty finding: A photographer who could shoot and deliver professional headshots that captured a vibrant feel, approachability, and credibility - without being stiff or formulaic. I'm so pleased with my photos, they captured me but better! The colors popped, the mood was perfect, and I had such a difficult time narrowing down my selections - they were all so good! Best of all, she made the photoshoot fun, relaxing, and put so much heart and energy into it. She is talented, kind, has a fast and keen eye for turning any environment into an amazing backdrop. I appreciate Sam so much and cannot recommend her enough. I will continue to look for new opportunities to work with her. She truly is amazing!

Sam's super professional, organize, creative, and easy to work with. I will book her for my maternity shoot!

She shot our…read morewedding on digital, film, Super 8, and Instant Polaroid, and somehow didn't miss a single thing while she expertly switched between formats. Michelle's turnaround time was lightning quick. We very promptly received a "Sneak Peek" gallery which was a few hundred photos from every part of the event. My wife and I loved these photos and agreed that if this was all we received, we'd have been thrilled. Of course, there was still plenty more to come-- hundreds more photos as well as a beautiful 3 minute Super 8 video. For the posed photos, Michelle was quick and efficient, allowing us to spend the maximum time with our guests and enjoying our event. After that, she and her team captured candid moments in an expert fashion. Her vision and artistry during the unplanned segments resulted in my favorite photos of the whole event. St. Chelle is a great choice for your wedding or special event. I would hire them again in a heart beat and would happily refer them to any of my friends and family.

She was a serious PRO when it came to take the stressful family photos, and she captured every detail during the ceremony and reception. Perhaps most impressively, there was an error in our wedding photo album (the date of our wedding was wrong- but this was entirely MY FAULT). She was so kind and nice and offered to send the photo album back free-of-charge. THIS WAS MY FAULT but she was like, "don't worry about it, I'll take care of it." Michelle is a true professional. We cannot recommend her enough. Perhaps we'll book her for our wedding anniversary! And seriously, the photos she takes are gorgeous; just look at her website!

From the very beginning, the team at Zatonsky Moments was so buttoned up and professional. They took the time to gather every detail ahead of the big day, including our timeline, special moments we didn't want to miss, family dynamics, and must-have shots. That level of preparation made us feel completely at ease. We knew we were in good hands, and that peace of mind on your wedding day is priceless. On the day itself, they were organized, calm, and such a positive presence. They made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, which is not always easy. Nothing felt forced or awkward, just natural, joyful moments being captured perfectly. And the final results were absolutely stunning. Every single photo turned out beautifully, and the video was beyond perfect. Watching it brought us right back to all the emotions of the day. These are memories we will truly cherish forever, and we're so grateful they were captured so thoughtfully and artistically. On top of everything, their packages were very competitively priced, especially for the level of quality and service they provide. We would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding photography and videography team. Thank you again to Zatonsky Moments for being such an important part of our special day. We are beyond grateful.
