Let me preface this whole review by saying that I am not someone who loves to have her photo taken.
That being said, I could not WAIT for Jean Kallina of Hudson Valley Photography to take photos of my wedding. As soon as we found her website, and then met with her to discuss packages, etc, we loved her and her work. Jean has a truly artistic eye, knows how to capture an emotion and moment, whether it's crazy dancing at the reception, or a romantic portrait just after the wedding.
She was a total joy to work with on a professional level, too. She was friendly but efficient in getting the group bridal party photos we requested while our guests were at the cocktail hour. She got all the posed group shots in, and we got to the reception right on time.
We haven't seen all the photos yet (the wedding was a week ago today) but Jean gave us some preview shots online and we are thrilled.
If having keepsake photos of your wedding is very important to you, then I can't recommend Jean Kallina of Hudson Valley Photography highly enough.
