Jay and his wife Kathy did our wedding pictures (July 2nd, 2016) and our engagement pictures in April 2016. I had looked for awhile for a photographer, and Jay's albums were so bright, elegant, professional looking, and really seemed to capture the special moments. I am so happy we chose him to photograph the best day of our lives! He and Kathy are fun, positive, full of great ideas, and work well together. We had a great time, and the pictures were well worth it. I love every single one of them, and looking back through the albums feels like re-living our wedding day. If you are looking for a photographer, you have found the best one! Thanks again Jay and Kathy :)

Jay is a very talented, driven, and hard working professional. His tireless work ethic really showcases on your wedding day. He is always prepared and thinks of new ideas on the spot to make your images remarkable. His assistant who is also his wife, Kathy, is as sweet and fun as can be! They are a great team who are always in sync with each other, and you can really feel their love and passion for photography by just being around them. They are both VERY personable, stress-free, and comfortable to be around. I first found Jay on theknot and fell in love with his photojournalistic style. His images didn't just capture a pose, but rather froze a single moment. Your personalities will be displayed in your pictures without a videographer even being needed which is so unique and amazing. Besides Jay's emotion catching style, two words came to me with his editing style, "clear" and "crisp." I really don't know any other way to explain it but his images have a classic and timeless look that I just love! He also makes a handful of images black and white which is really great for variety as some look better in black and white than color. You will receive all of your wedding photos, not just "some" or "choose 20" like some other photographers do. He is very quick to get all your pictures back to you (mine took 1-2 weeks) as some photographers will take 6-10 weeks- impressive! Another great thing about Jay is you will see a lot of photographers start their price at "4 or 5 hours" of coverage a day. Jay begins at 8 hours.. and you can purchase up from there. There aren't a lot of photographers that give you that much coverage to begin with! It is awesome because that will at least cover the most important parts of your wedding day. It is also a benefit that he is has custom built packages, so he can cater to your needs, wants, and desires. An example is my husband and I already had our engagement pictures taken before we met Jay, so instead of having an hour for an engagement session, he gave us an extra hour on our wedding day. :-) Communication wise Jay is fabulous! He is quick to answer e-mails within a reasonable time and available for any questions you have regarding any of his services or final products. He will give you detailed answers and is extremely polite. He even was so nice enough to show me what an image looked like in both color and black and white so my husband and I could decide what looks better to hang over our fireplace. If you are considering hiring Jay, do it now! I booked him over a year in advance because I did NOT want my day to be taken. You will not be disappointed; he is worth every.single.penny! Thank you Jay and Cathy; it was such a pleasure!!
