Adirondack Destination Wedding Photographer, Jessica Painter Photography

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.

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!
