About

We are based in Philadelphia PA but travel worldwide for a select, exclusive couples who love cultural diversity, opulence, and romance. We care about providing the utmost incredible experience, which is why we don't take every wedding we are asked to photograph. We work with couples who not only value photography, but friendships, intimate moments, endless adventures and all of the love that weddings and photographs capture.

Our goal is to redefine the excellence of cultural beauty. Too often, photographers and other wedding industry vendors seem to not display much inclusivity or flattering lighting for various skin tones, and couples struggle to feel well represented for their uniquely reflective wedding stories. Let’s start a movement, not just a moment. Let’s create memories, not just images. Let’s do something we’ve never done before, because you deserve it! Join me on a journey toward a forever kind of love filled with joy and happiness. Wedding Photography For Diverse Couples Who Seek Inclusivity and Representation.

Highly recommend

CMJ photography was a huge part in making our Wedding day memorable. If we had to go back and do it all over again, we would choose them again and again. Carlton was so easy to work with, very professional and assisted with helping me stay calm on one of the most important days of my life, even when things weren't going as planned. He arrived on time and ready to create magic and that is just what he did. We are in love with our photos and will be for years to come. A big thank you again for all you did.

CMJ is the best choice for ANY event

CMJ Photography is a most excellent choice for whatever your photography needs are. There was nothing missed in planning and our photos are beautiful. My husband and I chose CMJ to capture our wedding. Our initial consultation was comforting to us-as we are people who like to plan ahead. CJ asked about who WE were and what our expectations were. He answered our gazillion questions with patience and professionalism. He also provided us with a access to a platform, that allowed us to submit our contract and any additional questions or requests, and held them there so we could all keep track duringbthe months leading up to the wedding. He also availed himself to us via text message and assisted us in finding great locations for our photos, as our wedding was in Annapolis(we aren't that familiar with the area) and we live in Baltimore. The day of he was early, personable and efficient our group was a little like herding cats, but he managed to control the situation with a grace you don't see anymore. He gave amazing direction and captured beautiful moments, and even saved the day for us when an unexpected issue arose. We also had a videographer, and the way they worked in tandem made our guest believe they were both with CMJ. It was an awesome collaboration! CMJ Photography was the best choice we could have made. I would recommend him 10/10 times for any event. In the event he should see this, Thanknyou CJ- you're invited to ALL the family gatherings!
