J. Santini Photography

Hi there! I’m a candid and documentary-style photographer based in Setauket and serving all of Suffolk & Nassau counties —including both forks. My approach is rooted in cinéma vérité, blending warm, muted tones with light and airy edits to create timeless images. I love catching genuine interactions—those unscripted moments when you forget the camera is there—and the emotional glances from your families that make each wedding uniquely meaningful.

My priority is to provide clear communication and relaxed direction to help you stay fully present in your day. I typically work solo which means I’m hands-on throughout the process, but I also have amazing second photographers when we need that extra coverage. I also like to shoot film for those who appreciate analogue and can help you build custom albums and thank you cards for something a little extra. My style is easygoing, my process is thoughtful and my goal is simple: to help you remember today forever. If you have a vision, I’d love to hear it and help bring it to life.
