Jaymie and Chris were amazing!! They made the photo process so easy and relaxing which was really important to me since my husband and I don't love getting our photo taken! Very responsive through email and the website was super organized. During the reception, Jaymie put some of the photos on a laptop near the buffet line which guests enjoyed looking at while waiting to get their food. Two days after the wedding, a preview of 35 or so photos were already on Facebook. I can't wait for the album! I would HIGHLY recommend J Castro Photography!

I cannot begin to thank J. Castro Photography for the service they provided for us! Jaymie and Chris impressed us from the start, and my fiance and I felt incredibly comfortable working with them. Recommended by a friend who had hired Jaymie and Chris for their wedding, we were incredibly impressed by their portfolios of work. We were even more excited about the photographs from both our engagement shoot and wedding- they are absolutely stunning. My husband and are are so thankful that we chose J. Castro Photography to work with and would highly recommend their services to all brides!

We were so incredibly pleased with our entire experience with J Castro Photography. When we were looking for a photographer, we were searching for somebody that would put us at ease in front of the camera, offered affordable packages, and of course, took phenomenal pictures. Jaymie and Chris were SO easy to work with and made us laugh and feel at ease in front of the camera so that we never looked uncomfortably posed. We couldn't have dreamed of better pictures. Of all elements of our wedding planning, choosing the right photographer was just about the most important thing. I'm so happy with all of our pictures and will cherish our album forever! We even had a gloomy/extremely overcast day for our outdoor wedding (probably my biggest fear), but the guys pulled out all of their lighting tricks and I can honestly say that I'm happy our day was overcast because the pictures are THAT cool, moody and beautiful. I will and have recommended them to all my friends that are getting married in the area!

Really awesome team to work with. Jaymie and Chris were amazing and went above and beyond to provide spectacular service and make the day seamless. Chris even donated his tie to the father of the groom when one of our ties was misplaced--talk about dedication! The pictures speak for themselves too--they came out great and documented our day beautifully. I would highly recommend working with them (and already have to some of my friends with upcoming weddings)!!

I cannot say enough about J Castro Photography, they are wonderful, professional, and fun people and they provide gorgeous pictures and memories that you will cherish for the rest of your life. Literally everyone that I have showed my engagement and wedding photographs to talk about how beautiful they are. The DJ at my wedding came over to tell me how amazing he thought the photographs were, and said that Jaymie was one of the best photographers he had ever seen in his long career. Jaymie and Chris were so much fun to be around; they make you feel completely comfortable right away. Finally, the value that you get with J Castro Photography, in my opinion, cannot be beat. In my long search for a wedding photographer I found other photographers who certainly had a lot of skill as well, but not only were they were WAY more expensive, but you also get more in your package with J Castro Photography. I could go on and on, I really could. The photographer for my wedding was one of the most important things to me because those pictures would be our memories and I am 120% happy with J Castro Photography. I would use them again in a heartbeat and I plan to in the future at other special moments in my life. Thank you, Jaymie and Chris, for giving me and my husband stunning memories to look back on forever.

I cannot say enough good things about J Castro Photography. Pictures mean the world to me and it was the most important thing to me on the day of my wedding and not only did they capture every single moment, the professionalism, excellent communication and fair pricing made this the absolute best option for my husband and me. The added bonus was that Jaymie has an amazing personality and made taking the pictures a really fun time. I look forward to using him again when little ones are on the way! Should they ever need a recommendation, I will be more than happy to continually give shining reviews for the excellent work.

Jaymie and his crew are one of the best. We always have so much fun at a wedding. Jaymie creates such a great personal relationship with his couples from day one to the engagement session to the day of the wedding. This relationship shows in the pictures he takes with my couples.
