Vogue was interesting in featuring my wedding, so I knew the photos had to be PERFECT. I found Jay on IG and contacted him. He was super thorough and acknowledged my moodboards and ideas. We met for the first time on my actual wedding day, and I didn't need to tell him anything (as I expect with professionals) -- he flowed perfectly and kept the photography moving. The final product was OUTSTANDING. Literally a visual story. And the Vogue team was so excited! When it comes to picking a photographer it is so much better to hire someone that will tell a real story in the moments and Jay captured everything so beautifully and creatively. If you're nervous about picking a photographer due to cost, style, etc., as I was.. please let me be the one to tell you -- you will thank yourself by hiring Jay. Timeless photographer that will last forever.

Phenomenal DMV Photographer
As a DMV photographer myself, I think I share a unique experience. Jay was phenomenal throughout the entire process, from initial consultation to execution. We choose Jay as our wedding photographer before we planned our wedding due to sheer admiration for his work.
I came prepared with a vision and we collaborated on locations for execution. Jay provided direction for couples posing and was very prepared during our sessions. There is absolutely nothing I’d change about our experience with Jay. We cannot thank Jay enough for capturing one of our most cherished moments !

Jay is an amazing photographer. He was our photographer both for my engagement photoshoot and my wedding! The amount of compliments I received for pictures are countless. He could capture every moment perfectly. I am sure that years from now I will be able to remember everything clearly every-time I look at my pictures. Thank you Jay. You’re awesome.
