We are so happy that we hired James to DJ and photograph our wedding and ceremony. He worked with me on my wedding timeline and was attentive to the music that got our crew dancing. The photos turned out beautifully. We received over 300 photos in less than a week following our wedding. When factoring in value and quality, I would 100% recommend JD Photography and DJ to anyone needing these services!

Review for JD Photography and DJ Services – 5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had the absolute pleasure of working with JD Photography and DJ Services for our daughter’s wedding on September 12, 2025, at Tennessee River Place in Chattanooga, TN, and I can honestly say—he was perfect in every way. From the moment he arrived (a full two hours early just to make sure everything was flawless!), JD exuded professionalism, enthusiasm, and a genuine passion for what he does. He wasn’t just “the DJ”—he was the heartbeat of the celebration. The music? Unbelievable. He curated a playlist that was tailor-made for our daughter—from 50s classics and crooner tunes to ABBA, Taylor Swift, hip hop, country, “Rocky Top”, and even line dancers! The variety was incredible, and every transition felt seamless. What truly blew us away was the energy he created. He had everyone dancing, even people who never dance. He read the room perfectly, kept the vibes high all night long, and made the entire reception unforgettable. If you’re looking for a DJ who is organized, versatile, professional, and passionate—JD is your guy. We cannot recommend him enough. He helped make our daughter’s wedding truly magical. Thank you, JD, from the bottom of our hearts!

James with JD Photography & DJ Service was professional, friendly, flexible, and his work is amazing!! We booked with James for our engagement shoot as well as photography & DJ services for our wedding. We received our engagement pictures the same day we took them! And we got our wedding pictures back in about a week! James and his assistant made our wedding day so smooth and perfect. We wouldn’t change a thing, we couldn’t be happier!!
