Janelle Putrich Photography

he gravity of that statement! I wanted my photos to be classic, contemporary, timeless, relevant, chic, authentic, serious, playful... an impossible ask yet Janelle delivered. Anytime I show people her work, they genuinely pause to take it in because they recognize they are looking at something unique and special. I knew I could place my complete trust in Janelle because her vision is greater than anything I could think of on my own. Not only is her work beautiful, but her presence is reassuring and calm, which I greatly appreciated among the wedding day chaos. It never occurred to me how much you can feel like a fish out of water on your wedding day (I had never done it before!), so having someone who knows the industry was invaluable. If you're looking for an experience where you'll feel confident, and photos that will stand the test of time I highly recommend Janelle.

ld work with her again a million times over

bout knowing how to pose, but Janelle made me feel so comfortable and confident and became like a friend. We trusted her vision and were so glad we did! Our families complimented how kind she was and the photos speak for themselves! She captured all the real moments from our day so beautifully. I will gladly recommend Janelle to everyone I know!! We love her and we love every single photo!!

w we had to work with her again for our wedding. Janelle hired a second shooter who was just as amazing to support her on our wedding day. She brought peace, professionalism, energy, love, and the perfect vision to our day. She went above and beyond and helped organize family members, take off my veils, communicate with planners and guests, etc. If you're in the Philly area, you MUST hire Janelle for your photography - she added the most positive vibes to our wedding weekend, and the photos she so beautifully captured bring us right back to each and every moment.

nviting personality. My husband and I agreed that our wedding photos would be one of the most important parts of our day because we wanted to have them to enjoy forever. We were nervous at first because neither of us had any experience in front of the camera, and we didn't want that to show in our photos. All of our worries melted away when we met Janelle at our engagement shoot, and even more so when we got our photos back from our session. We are so lucky we found her to capture our day, not only because her work is amazing, but because she will also always be one of our friends after this experience.

tos were my favorite by far. Her photos not only capture but also enhance magical moments. Thankfully, she was free for my wedding day, and I’m so lucky she chose to shoot my small, intimate wedding. Janelle is so professional, warm, and someone you can trust to capture your life’s most intimate moments. Her photos will be in our family forever.

an we ever could have imagined. I can't describe how perfect they are. She has an incredible gift and talent. She knew exactly what to tell us and how to pose for the photos so they would turn out perfectly. She told me initially that her goal was to make us look amazing but also capture our love and emotions, and she did exactly that. Additionally, she sent us many edited pictures the day after our wedding so we had some pictures right away to cherish. She also got all of our photos back to us much earlier than what was in the contract. She was so much fun to work with and created the most special memories with us through her amazing photos that we will have for the rest of our lives!

o well. Our photos look like they came straight out of a magazine and we are just in awe of her craft. She has such a talent for capturing the emotion of the day and directing poses so you can truly just have fun with it. Plus, we loved hanging out with her during it all so much that we can't wait for another reason to hire her. Walk, don't run!

se your only regret will be if you didn’t book her soon enough!! Now for the longer review: Janelle is truly a master of her craft! We are so thankful that she was available on our wedding day—we couldn’t have asked for a better photographer! Not only is her artistry and eye for photography top notch, but her soft skills make her the best of the best in EVERY facet of her job. First, when it comes to her photography, it is truly world-class. Almost every. single. shot from Janelle looks like it belongs in a magazine or an art gallery. We’re talking heirloom-quality photos that you will treasure forever. Janelle’s technique and artistry go hand-in-hand. Her eye for composition is remarkable and it allows her to immortalize those precious moments with effortless ease. She will turn those moments into priceless photos that will make you laugh and cry in the best way possible. But the most remarkable thing is that Janelle makes EVERYBODY look amazing in front of the camera! When we showed our friends and family the photos, they repeatedly said that Janelle’s photos were some of the best photos they’ve ever seen of themselves! From me and my husband, to our parents and family, Janelle knows how to pull pure magic out of anybody! Not everybody is comfortable in front of the camera, and Janelle strikes that incredible balance between knowing when to capture candid moments vs knowing when to coach/encourage people into finding their best angles. This is where her soft skills really shine. Janelle excels with her ability to communicate effectively, and her support and enthusiasm makes her critical to capturing the best moments. Whenever Janelle is around, she makes you LOOK and FEEL your best at all times. Janelle’s empathy also allows her to diffuse stressful moments with ease. Multiple times during the emotional rollercoaster of the day, Janelle gave me much needed pep talks that helped keep me going. And Janelle also knows how to gracefully swat away well-meaning but decision-fatiguing questions from family and vendors. Janelle was attentive to our emotional state and knew when to encourage us to take a step back to collect ourselves. Lastly, her professionalism is superlative. Janelle worked seamlessly with the other vendors such as videography, hair and makeup, caterers, and event coordinators, establishing a great rapport that ensured the best day possible. As expected from weddings, things can change in an instant—and Janelle expertly works with what she has and excels at each and every moment, tirelessly. As a bride, I could not be more thankful that she was there by my side. Without a doubt, Janelle is ESSENTIAL!

ing photos. She's so creative and can make even the most camera-shy people feel comfortable in front of the lens. She even stepped into be make-up artist when I was having difficulty with my lashes. I asked her for a lot of candid shots of our guests so we could truly capture the day and she delivered wonderful photos that we will cherish forever. Janelle is an amazingly talented human, and I'm so glad she was with us on our wedding day!

ay, headshots, ANYTHING! Janelle is incredibly personable and makes you not only look great, she makes you *feel* great. She brings out the best in you and makes you so comfortable. (This is coming from a very, very camera shy person!) Janelle captures the pure joy, the raw excitement, and the intimacy/connections between interpersonal and big groups! Not to mention the fact that Janelle brings and adds to that joy, excitement, and connection through and by her presence! Janelle shot my wedding photos and I could not be happier with the results. The photos are STUNNING. Janelle's a master at her craft, full stop. Hire her now! You will be thanking yourself later!

tions and allow us to relive our day and I cannot begin to explain how far Janelle hit this one out of the park! Janelle truly has a talent like no other. I didn't even know it was possible to relive a moment that vividly through looking at a photograph and she made that possible. Her comfortability and confidence in surroundings and poses allowed us to relax fully on our big day. Her photos are truly the perfect mix of traditional but also raw, candid photos. The day of our wedding our bridal party couldn't stop talking about how sweet and fun she was and we have gotten outstanding compliments on these photos from every single person that has seen them and I truly cannot put into words how happy we are with Janelle's work. How we will ever be able to choose our favorites is beyond me! Do not even hesitate to book Janelle as your wedding photographer!!!

f our wedding like I've never seen in any one else's photography. Her talent for capturing the moment is unparalleled. She was professional, engaging, and made us look and feel incredible. But even more than her work, she is one of the most genuine, lovely people we've ever met. We felt like we were spending time with one of our oldest friends all night, even though we'd met only a few minutes prior. We'll never forget our wedding night, but thanks to her we get to relive them in a way that lesser photography couldn't accomplish. She handed us our most cherished memories and made them sacred.

throughout the day were works of art. She made us feel at ease during our portrait session, and knew how to pose us in a way that looked and felt natural. She was easy to work with, even traveling to New England for our wedding. Looking at the photo album on our coffee table, I can confidently say this was the best investment we made in our entire wedding. Don't think twice - reach out to Janelle!!!

e a model. She knew just what to say to me and my husband to get us to pose in such natural and amazing ways. Nothing felt staged or over the top – it was just perfect. You’ll regret NOT having her as your wedding photographer.

ng, we knew we wanted her to capture our day. She will seriously make you feel like a million bucks while you're working with her... even my husband who is camera shy and hates taking photos had such a blast. We felt so comfortable in front of the camera with her, and she gave just the right amount of direction without things feeling too staged. We are so thrilled with our wedding photos, and will cherish them for years to come.

itorial way, helping to freeze your special day in time for you to look back on for the rest of your life. Not only does she makes you feel so good in front of the camera, telling you exactly how to pose so that you look your best, but she also blends perfectly into the background when needed, capturing all the important moment when you don't even know she's there. From the moment my husband and I found her Instagram page, we knew she was the only choice. Her wedding photography is not cookie cutter like other wedding photos we've seen. This was our #1 priority when searching for a photographer. She truly understands the vibe of your event and carries it through in the photos. Looking through our gallery, it was easy to feel like we were reliving the day all over again. We also fully recommend doing an engagement shoot with her in advance to your wedding. It was the perfect way to get to know her (and become instant friends) and get to know what to expect on the big day. After going through the full process with Janelle, my only question is: Janelle, can you photograph every major moment for the rest of my life?? So much love from Jess + Justin!

hing around my angles and how to direct my body for a flattering shot. Janelle was exactly the coach I needed. She was able to make us look like models in our engagement pictures and wedding pictures (trust me, that’s a real feat). Even better than the flawless pictures is the vibe. You feel like a million dollars while she’s taking your pictures and puts all the wedding stress aside. I am so grateful for the incredible photos she captured for us and all the support she was able to give day of. I plan to use her for any and every professional shoot I ever take (and will need to find more reasons to get professional pics taken because she is THAT good).

rst reached out to her, she got back to me very quickly and was so friendly and enthusiastic. You can tell right away that she has a true passion for wedding photography. During the planning process, she answered all of my questions and helped me out immensely. On the day of my wedding, she did such an amazing job making everyone feel comfortable and made it so fun! But she also kept things very organized and helped us stay on schedule throughout the day. And the best part is, my photos look incredible! She captured every important moment of the day and many candid moments perfectly. All in all, Janelle is simply incredible and I was so glad to have hired her to photograph my wedding. I would encourage anyone to do the same!

doubt they will be), we’ll be struggling for hours deciding on which ones to share with our family and friends. We got married on 11/9/19 and it was cold, like real cold, but Janelle put up with our crazy idea to continue as planned with our outside ceremony AND hiked through fields to get the perfect shot! She’s that dedicated to making sure her clients are happy! Even before our big day, she helped give ideas for first look photos, our wedding day timeline, and put our mind at ease with suggestions to make the day go more smoothly. I spent hours combing through wedding photographers, worried that whoever I chose wouldn’t live up to the expectations I had in my head. I wish I would have saved myself some time and just picked Janelle right from the start because she was everything we hoped for and more! She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera that we forgot about our nerves, the cold, and everyone waiting for us and just lived in the moment. I am so beyond grateful for her and the memories we’ll now easily be able to look back on. Janelle, you are a gem, and we are so thankful to you for capturing our special day!

I felt comfortable right away with her. She made everyoney feel comfortable and look great!

photographer, you can imagine how picky and selective I was! It was a challenge at first to find someone that I trusted as well as liked their photography style- but one phone call with Janelle and my husband and I were already SOLD on her. We first connected on a personal level and she instantly made us feel SO comfortable- and that, I knew, was important to me. But Janelle blew me away with her work on our wedding photos. I can truly say that she calmed every nerve in me when it came to trusting someone else to capture our wedding day! The way she made everyone feel so beautiful through the entirety of the day put everyone at ease. The way she captured our EVERY emotion from start to finish is beautifully artistic. Her calm presence, her professionalism, her personality, her sense of humor- everything about Janelle is truly extraordinary and remarkable. And on top of being incredible photographer, I feel like I got a new friend out of this because she's just so personable and friendly! She's the type of person that once you meet her, you feel like you've known her your whole life. So- number one question I got for the last 9 months- "WHO does the photographer pick to shoot their wedding?!"- I happily say the lovely Janelle Putrich. :)

ess generic albums that have nice photos but nothing too special. My husband and I wanted photos that were beautiful, original, flattering and natural. Janelle gave us all of that and more. With Janelle, you will get stunning, creative and unique photos. I never thought we could look so good and natural! As someone who is not in front of the camera often, I was nervous about posing for photos. Janelle made me feel so comfortable and confident. All of our guests were impressed with her professionalism, efficiency and talent. She is an artist with an amazing eye for what will make you look and feel like fire! Looking back on our wedding day (other than saying yes) Janelle was the best choice we made. Photos are literally one of the only things from your wedding that you can take with you when the day is over. Make this your investment. Do it. Call her. Fall in love with Janelle and with the gorgeous photos she is going to take for you.

member driving away from our wedding with my husband and discussing that our favorite part of our wedding was Janelle. She made us feel amazing, told really good jokes, and seemed to capture every single special moment (so many moments that we didn't even see ourselves). Her work will FOREVER be relevant. Since our wedding, we've hired Janelle for almost every monumental occasion in our life. Our walls (and our hearts) are filled with Janelle. I now count her as one of my sweetest friends and a member of our family. Do yourself a favor and hire this woman. It will be the smartest investment you make to preserve what truly matters.

king, and simply; exquisite. Throughout my entire wedding day, Janelle was engaging, fun, thoughtful, kind, and constructive. She made me feel so beautiful, natural, and captured what I exactly felt in my heart in photo form. I SO loved Janelle, and you will too!

moothly and made everything FUN! I also had the privilege of Janelle doing my makeup (she’s a gal of many talents) and I just can’t even express how amazing our entire experience was with her. My husband and I are obsessed with our engagement and wedding photos and cannot wait to work with Janelle again in the future! I seriously cannot recommend her enough.

her was hands down the best decision we made during wedding planning!! She put us at ease immediately, made shooting fun, and was professional, yet personable - working with her was a complete joy!! And talk about magic … receiving our wedding gallery was one of the happiest days of my life. I knew that investing in a photographer was so important because when the wedding is over, your photographs are all you have left. Janelle did a phenomenal job of capturing our precious day, and I can't wait to fill our home with prints and albums filled with her gorgeous images. Janelle, we love you!! And we can't wait until we have an excuse to jump in front of your camera again!

n she is working her magic. She is so enthusiastic about what she does and her passion truly shows, she is one of a kind and you cant help but love her. She will be the greatest choice of hire you made for your wedding, I promise! If I could have Janelle her take photos of us again, I would and I will! I know I can trust her to produce some images that are just straight fire. I freakin' love this girl!

there seemed to be no one else in the area whose work compared to hers. When we had our engagement session with her, she made us feel like a million bucks—always saying the right things for the best poses and natural candids. The photos turned out STUNNING and I knew we had to have her as our wedding photographer as well! We loved all of our wedding photos and she had an amazing turnaround time as well. Can't forget to mention she was an absolute pleasure to work with and has the sweetest personality! Thank you so much, Janelle!!!

comfortable in front of the lens, but with her direction and guidance she captured amazing photos that blew us away for both our engagement and wedding. Our bridal party is still raving over how well she organized the group shots and her bubbly personality. She is both beautiful and talented beyond recognition, I will be following her journey on Instagram as her biggest fan girl, lol!CHOOSE JANELLE!

photographers I have ever seen. I don’t usually like photographs of myself, but Janelle knew how to pose me in such a way that each photo was my most favorite. I constantly find myself looking through my wedding album again and again just reliving that magical day through my beautiful photo of memories and loving every one over and over again. I’ve been married two years now, and am constantly being asked who the amazing photographer was that shot my wedding. Janelle’s bubbly character, and professional demeanor, make it so fun, comfortable and easy to work with her. I love that Janelle was not only my amazing photographer but also my sweet friend. Her love and passion for what she does shines through the beauty of her art. You know for sure that she will do whatever it takes to get the best for your most special day. You will not regret your decision in booking with her, just be sure to leave enough room for love in your heart for a darling, talented, and professional photographer such as Janelle Putrich.

eiving the photos we knew we didn't have to look any further. They were JUST what we were hoping they would be. She made us feel so comfortable on the actual wedding day as well. The photos captured our day so that we can re-live our special moments over and over again. Don't hesitate, and book her as soon as you can! She worked great with our family, and went above and beyond just taking pictures. She was SO quick with getting the photos to us after so we could enjoy them right away. Your personality is such a joy to work with and we can't thank you enough, Janelle! - Kenna and Dan

grapher she was my friend. Her photos are unique and stunning because she is able to pick up on the vibe you are giving off at that moment. She is the only one I could ever imagine photographing anything special or important to me. She is a beautiful person inside and out.

the time, and every single time it brings back the feeling of how happy I was that day. She was amazing to work with - her work is such a reflection of herself and her personality. It's beautiful, ethereal, light & bright, and full of amazing energy. She treats her clients with utmost love and respect and made us feel so comfortable being ourselves in front of the camera. We loved her so much we worked with her AGAIN for a fun anniversary/couple shoot that we couldn't be happier with! Will definitely be giving her a call when we renew our vows =)

ith. While photo shoots can be awkward at times, her energy & direction made us feel comfortable & confident the ENTIRE time. She truly is a master of her craft & knows how to bring a vision to life. We love you, Janelle!! Thank you for being amazing & putting your heart & soul into your work.

ifully. I recommend Janelle 1000 times over!

alist). My fiancé and I did a laid back, 70's grunge, lifestyle-esq photo shoot with her in our home- it was awesome. She was super accommodating (travelled to us!), even helped me rummage through my closet to pick out some outfits, and was also my MUA! Janelle works in a way that makes you feel at ease while in front of the camera. She is quirky, jubilant, and encouraging. When it came time to present the photos to us, she sent a link to our online portfolio which was filled with more photos than I could have ever hoped- all of which were detail-rich, stunning, and left us overjoyed.

he made our anniversary photos not only beautiful, but also a memory of a great day. You can count on her to show up on time, bring ideas, and keep you laughing! The end product was beautiful and she even surprised us with how quickly she was able to process our photos, especially with her skillful editing.

a little nervous-I think he was too, but Janelle made us both feel so confident and comfortable in front of the camera. We shot at an outdoor park and the photos came back looking way better than I even imagined possible. I certainly recommend booking Janelle for any of your photography needs, we are so glad we did!
