Best photographer I've found. Totally willing to work around our schedules and his packages are suited to our liking. Got a nice deal and love working with him. He took pics of our actual engagement, gonna do an engagement shoot and will be there for the wedding day. Awesome quality work!

From the first call to his follow through, J. Stuart was astonishing! He was referred to us and we were so grateful to have connected with him to photograph our wedding.

BUDGET/FLEXIBILITY/ORGANIZATION:
He worked with us to provide a package that met our budget, needs and interest! He traveled from Maryland to Virginia without one complaint. He was on-time for the shots before the wedding and didn't miss a thing and allowed us to come up with our own creative ideas while he helped us when we couldn't think of a pose. :)

PERSONALITY:
He has such a great personality. He is so professional, but really funny too! He easily adapted with everyone's personalities at our wedding and was able to capture them in the pictures. When it got chaotic after the ceremony, he nicely and respectfully controlled everyone to get the right people in the shots. Which was very helpful, because we have a lot of "chiefs" in my family! haha! :)

COMMUNICATION:
He was helpful in the beginning to explain how everything worked with the contract, pricing, and timing for specific photos.

WHAT TYPE OF PHOTOGRAPHER IS HE OVERALL, you ask?...:
If you are looking for someone who is an experienced wedding photographer, professional, fun to work with, quick on his feet, on-time, captures personality and action in the photos he takes, and is aiming to please, then you need to HIRE J. STUART! :)

We met J at a wedding open house show in the Kentlands. We were impressed by the wonderful photographs he had on display and the classic and unique albums. J also has a great value for his service and he did an AMAZING job! When we received our photographs on a CD and were able to look through them and they were all stunning. J is very masterful at catching beautiful candid shots.
It was also amazing that J's studio was right down the street from our church where we were married! He came to the rescue when my Dad forgot to bring a belt with him for the ceremony!
J is easy to communicate with and responded quickly to emails and phone calls. It was wonderful having J as our photographer and now we have wonderful memories captured to cherish for years to come!

Mr. Harris provided excellent photography services. He was a total professional and knew what he was doing; he found the best vantage points for certain shots and provided us with nearly a 1000 photographs in a 5 hour wedding.

From the pictures he took, we were actually able to make wedding albums for ourselves, my father and my wife's mother - and still have hundreds left over. I'd highly recommend him to anyone with a wedding.

We hired J. Stuart Harris for our wedding & reception and were extremely satisfied with his services. The pictures came out better than we could have expected & he was very easy to work with. He was able to catch every aspect of our special day on film. He took the extra time to have several meetings with us & our parents to go through each album page by page before going to print to ensure we all got what we were hoping for. The quality of service & product was impeccable & we'd strongly recommend J. Stuart Harris Photography!

I have often videotaped social and family life-cycle events where “J” has been the photographer. “J” is known to me and others as a true photography professional – excellent photos, impeccable social skills, and a caring personality all essential for a memorable event. Definitely a team player, “J” reaches out to other vendors to ensure that we are all on the same page and working in a complimentary way. I would highly recommend “J” to any client who is looking for an excellent result as well as a pleasant and professional photographer to work with.
