About
Hi! My name is Jay. I’m born & raised in San Francisco, CA. I am a fun & relaxed, full-time professional photographer. I take great pride in my reputation to consistently deliver the highest quality digital photography in the Bay Area. I aim to give my clients the best experience possible! It will be a privilege to capture your special moments & to beautifully tell your story.
I specialize in:
- Weddings and engagements
- Professional headshots
- Events
I have a unique eye and style of my own that I have developed over time. I get the most emotion and feeling into an image that I can. I really enjoy the editing process, and I believe that it can really make the images I provide pop.
I can imagine hiring a photographer on Thumbtack can be a very difficult decision. As a client, you can be confident your hiring an experienced full-time professional who will work with you throughout the process of planning your project to ensure a fantastic set of photographs. I always aim to make sure your relaxed, confident, and ready to enjoy your big day.
Fun Fact: I started photography in 2010 while on tour with Justin Bieber as one of his official backup vocalists w/ my r&b singing group Legaci:).

We hired Jay and Miemie to photograph our wedding reception and they did a great job. They were very skilled, patient, kind, and got us all the shots we wanted. When we look at our wedding photos now, we have quality shots that we can cherish for a lifetime. Jay and Miemie were very accommodating and got us spectacular shots from our big day! We recommend them highly.

I am so happy I had Jay and Miemie take my wedding photos. They were very professional and for months before the wedding they always answered my emails and were always very friendly.
At the wedding they arrived early and started taking photos right away. They took tons of amazing pictures and I am so happy with how they turned out.
The price was amazing and the pictures bring me back to the most perfect day. If you are looking for professional, affordable, and fun wedding photographers you should choose Jay and Miemie. Thank you for helping me capture the most perfect memories of my wedding day.

I really enjoyed working with Jay. He's the most professional photographer I have ever used. Not only that, hes nice, easy to work with, and the photos came out amazing.
I had Jay do some photo shoots for my business. I'm a muralist and I needed some professional pictures for some advertising I'm doing. He took amazing pictures! Made them look even better then the original. Even helped with video and my ads. Above all his price was a great value for everything a got. He went up and beyond what any other photographer has done for me. Thank you Jay!

JayLegaci & Miemie were much more than just photographers - they felt like part of the family! We can't recommend them enough.... for anyone looking for talented, kind, fun, easy-going and diligent wedding photographers. They truly embraced our wedding day and engaged with our friends and family in a way that was above and beyond. They helped to make the lead up to, and on the day of, our wedding truly magical and we can't thank them enough for being complete professionals and all-round dynamic duo. We couldn't be more grateful for our stunning wedding photos - they're better than we ever could have imagined and we will cherish them forever.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I believe I have fair pricing when it comes to hours needed & full day of coverage. I do have an incentive plan if you refer me to future potential clients.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I love to get to know the client & make them feel comfortable. I've always been the type of person that's easy to get along with.
I believe the 20 years I've been handling all PR/marketing for my singing group Legaci has helped me become really sociable and in return a better photographer.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
The training I got was asking key questions & learning from Justin Bieber's photographers while on tour. Also, my love for landscape photography in the beginning of my learning process gave me a ton of experience when it comes to editing & making a portrait's pop.
