There's only one day a month they are close, that will be the next opportunity, shortly after dark on Christmas Day, they will rise quite close together and be the closest right about 6:30 PM Eastern time. You probably won't be able to see Jupiter at moonrise, the Sun will still be in the sky then and the sky will be much brighter than it was for me this month.
You really have to plan ahead to get the best astronomical shots, I'd been planning this one for a couple of days.
Put the free Stellarium on your computer and you can do your own advance planning, it's a gorgeous display, really does a good job of simulating the night sky.

Good luck.
ETA: You're going to have to set manual exposure to get the Moon properly in a dark sky, about what you would set for a bright but overcast day, almost all autoexposure systems are going to overexpose the Moon a lot in a dark sky, some experimentation beforehand to get the right exposure is a good idea.
