About

Hello my name is Jim and I am a photographer. Some people, most people, ask me what my photography style might be? Usually I go into a long description for such a cool question, but, after thinking about it way too much I came up with the answer “unscripted”. I photograph people in love (weddings), people at work (commercial), people competing (sports), people mingling (events), groups of people (families), smart people ( graduation), people combined (maternity), new people (newborn), and sometimes I walk around and look for beautiful things to photograph (that might or might not have people around).

I started photographing people and their events fifteen years ago. Pretty soon as some people told other people I was photographing people I didn’t even know. One day at a wedding surrounded by happy people a nice lady in a fancy hat asked me how much I charge to take pictures of people? After that I started AJ Photography or AJP as most people call it and that’s why I am writing this bio, about photographing people.

For me it’s not enough to just photograph people at an event. I need to capture the emotion, show the day, and mark a place in time for the people. I love it all; the preparation for the day, the photography of the day, and finally the image editing that follows the day. So give me call, send me an email, ask me questions, I love to talk about people and would love to photograph people for you.

Jim is an amazing and talented photographer. We started to get to know him through our engagement session. Instantly he made my (at the time) fiance and I so comfortable. He was so generous that he let us pick two places! We went to Harpers Ferry and Downtown Frederick. It was raining during the time we were going downtown so he even offered to wait in the coffee shop until the rain cleared because he knew how important the downtown pictures were to us, since that is where my husband and I met. We received the photos very quickly and even got a sneak peak that night! His support for me on my wedding day was unforgettable. He was with me all day being very supportive and taking pictures of us getting ready, the ride there, and captured every aspect of my wedding that I wanted. I am so glad we went with Jim. He will be taking future pictures for us and I highly recommend this company for services :)

AMAZING!!! Jim and his team were wonderful and the pictures were great. We had guests pictures taken with all kinds of fun assessories that he brought. Guest them made an album with the fun pictures and wrote their well wishes, it was a fantastic way to have our guest book done. Everyone enjoyed it !!!

I was very pleased with Jim. He was completely non-obstrusive. He was never in the way and yet was able to capture the event beautifully. Our pictures were wonderful. In the course of our event, he was able to get some very artsy and candid shots that were great! What a value! The delivery of the pictures was unbelievably fast and his customer service excellent.

Jim was wonderful! He took about 1,000 pictures and I barely noticed he was even there. His pictures were beautiful and he was not one of those annoying photographers who is always in your face.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

AJP is top notch! The couples we have shared have loved their photos! His work is fantastic, and he is a true professional. He is very non-disruptive during the ceremony (I cannot say the same for all), and he was creative in taking beyond just the standard "Posed" photos.
