MEET JESSICA
Hi, I’m Jessica. For over 20 years, I’ve had the honor of documenting love stories across Upstate New York—from Albany to Saratoga Springs and the Adirondacks.
I believe in photography that feels like a warm hug—images that are honest, romantic, and timeless. I take on a limited number of weddings each year so I can give each couple my full attention, creative heart, and storytelling soul.
The Jessica Painter Difference
Exclusive Boutique Experience
Limited dates available each year to ensure every couple receives our full creativity, care, and attention.
Two-Photographer Coverage
My trusted second photographer, Heather, and I capture your day from every angle with an artist’s eye—no moment missed.
Heirloom Albums & Fine-Art Prints
Every collection includes handcrafted keepsakes delivered in custom cedar boxes—personalized with your initials and paired with our tree-planting initiative.
Deep Regional Expertise
With 15+ years photographing Saratoga, the Adirondacks, and Lake George, I know how to get that perfect golden-hour shot—any time of year.
From private lakefront estates to the historic charm of The Sagamore,
see how I capture every love story with heart and artistry.
Client Love
Jessica Painter is an absolute rockstar. If you are on the fence between a few photographers, BOOK HER before someone else grabs her for your date! .... each time we received photos from her, it was like receiving a warm hug in the mail (her packing is beautiful and notes are very thoughtful). We cannot recommend Jessica enough!
