About

As corny as it sounds, we really do love weddings! An eye for the detail, emotion, and personality of your day, plus a style so distinctive it is referred to by many as "that AJ's look" make Amy and JP one of the Northwest's most respected and sought after photography teams. Photojournalism, yes, but fused with some dazzling portraits you will treasure.

Husband and wife team, Amy & JP are excellent photographers. I like that Amy could be with the girls taking photos and JP could be off with the guys. These two are known for their photo journalistic style, and it makes for fun wedding photography. We just got our photos and love them all.

JP and Amy were absolutely incredible! They were so fast on the day of while still getting the shots! I did not want to spend half my wedding day standing around for posed pictures, and they moved everything so fast! They made everyone feel at ease and relaxed and kept the spirit so light. Their work is absolutely beautiful and you get two people snapping shots-what more could you want? They were so wonderful to work with and had such great eyes for the small details! We just loved them!

Wow. We can't say enough about the quality and professionalism of Amy and JP. They knew the ins and outs of our venue, where to get the best shots, and how to use light to capture some amazing moments. They had fun with our wedding party and captured some great, intimate moments when we didn't even know they were around. We can't recommend them highly enough!

John took our wedding photos and they were exactly what we were hoping for! We loved working with John. He was easy going and yet very professional. After looking at our proofs, there were some photos I didn't even realize he was nearby to take the photos!!! To me...that's great!!!! We were married downtown Portland and were able to get some photos in the park blocks, which was John's idea. Loved it!!!!

Amy and John were wonderful and easy to work with. They were very quick to answer any emails or phone calls before and after the wedding. We got a killer deal including an engagement session and a photo booth that was comparable to other photographers prices without those extras. The quality of the photos is very good and they do have an eye for detail and were able to capture the emotion of each special moment. The guests raved about the photo booth and so many of our friends have their photo booth pictures as their facebook photos! We highly recommend AJ's - you won't be disappointed.

I have had the pleasure of working with Amy and John of AJ's Studio for many years. They are both well trained photographers who shoot independently at the weddings, bringing so much to the viewing screen that couples are blown away when they see the proofs. Very creative, very customer service oriented and so much fun to have at the wedding. They can make the grumpiest Grampa smile, and the most rambunctious child hold still just long enough. Never obtrusive and they always get "the shot"! You can see their portfolio online or on display at the Portland Wedding Lounge.
