Jahlcob Visual Artist

Where do I even begin? Javier is one of the kindest, most welcoming, sensitive, and sweet people I have ever met. Just from our communication back-and-forth leading up to the wedding alone, we knew we had made the right choice for our wedding photographer/videographer. However, upon meeting in person, we were that much more convinced that not only had we made the right choice with Javier, but we also had found someone that we could truly connect with, were excited to celebrate with, and were looking forward to being friends with in the future!

Kicking the wedding weekend off, Javier met us at our rehearsal dinner/welcome party to take photos of the event and we had SO MUCH fun! He and his team really do feel like lifetime friends that you are excited to see and spend time with, and the photos themselves were the cherry on top of the entire night. The next day, Javier and his team met us at Tago Hotel where we took getting ready photos. There were so many silly, sweet, and special moments that we all shared together throughout the photos being taken, and I still laugh each time I'm reminded of one of those moments....like, when Javier let me borrow his sunglasses on the beach because the sun was too bright for my eyes and I was literally crying...or when my husband-to-be entered our hotel room while we were taking bridal getting ready photos and Javier made everyone aware that THE GROOM IS IN THE ROOM (not knowing yet that it was totally fine with me).

The wedding day itself was absolutely amazing and we almost didn't even realize that photos and videos were being taken! We had expressed to Javier prior to the wedding that we really wanted a candid, photojournalistic style - catching all of our guests in laugh, tears, hugs, dancing, etc to really reflect the experience and emotions of that day. When I tell you that Javier and his team delivered - I can't express enough how PERFECT everything came out. With every photo we scroll past, we either laugh or cry just because you can truly feel the emotions of that day, just like we had asked.

And the video - oh the video! I had no idea what to expect, but Javier went above and beyond. Not only is every single sweet moment captured - from getting ready to dancing the night away - but our full ceremony is included as well. I never mentioned this to anyone, but I almost felt like I barely any memory of the actual ceremony (probably due to nerves) and I am so grateful that I can now watch it over and over again. Javier really did make this entire experience so incredibly meaningful to my husband, our families, friends, and I and we cannot thank him enough.

We are beyond pleased with the services provided by Javier and his team. From the very beginning, Javier was kind, genuine, and professional, and he answered all of our questions on first zoom call. He reassured us that we were in good hands, and he made us feel confident and prepared, which is no easy feat when planning a wedding in another country! He worked with us to develop a plan for our wedding day, and we customized a package that met all our expectations. The price was comparable to what we would have paid in the states, and Javier gave us a good deal for choosing his services over the other vendors at the resort and included complimentary drone coverage, which was something we probably wouldn’t have paid for but it ended up being a cool option! By the time we signed off of the zoom meeting with him, we felt like we’d known him forever. He is charismatic, professional, funny, and talented, and he knows weddings!

On the wedding day, Javier and his team were like magicians. They were everywhere all at once, capturing all of the magical moments. Our guests were so impressed and pleased with the coverage and the energy that his team brought to our special day. They were so patient with our guests who wanted to play photographers themselves, and if there were any issues that day, we sure didn’t know about them! The Jahlcob team blended right in and captured moments of our guests enjoying themselves, too, which was an added bonus! 🥰

When the photo coverage ended, my husband and I were so sad to say goodbye to Javier, but we were so thankful that we chose him. I think I even cried a little. He handled every moment of our wedding day with such professionalism and care, and he’s funny! My husband hates getting his photos taken, but he swears he actually had fun taking them with Javier. I am a little insecure being behind the camera, but Javier made me feel beautiful and regal, and the photos he took of me bring tears to my eyes when I look at them.

Our photos were edited and uploaded to our online gallery and shared with us before the 90-day deadline, and we were obsessed with the results. Looking at those photos allows us to relive our wedding day, and I still can’t believe how well Javier and his team captured our unique personalities and all of the special moments. Our friends and family can’t stop telling us what a good job their team did, and we agree!

Brides and grooms - if you’re looking for an unforgettable experience and hands-down best the team to take care of you, look no further. Jahlcob is it.

Our photographer, Javier, was absolutely wonderful. He understood the weight and significance of what we were celebrating and made it his mission to capture every possible moment. He has a beautiful soul, and that warmth comes through in his work.

When we booked Javier, we scheduled a Zoom call to go over every event and the details we wanted captured. After that call we felt confident we had made an excellent choice. He was very familiar with our venue, recommended shots we never would have thought of ourselves, and his enthusiasm for capturing special moments left us feeling truly excited.

We felt he was going to do a great job and he delivered. We have just received our teaser preview shots from the ceremony and the results are stunning. The images look like they belong in a magazine editorial. We cannot wait to see the full gallery.

Hiring a photographer for the most important day of our lives was a leap of faith. Thankfully, Javier exceeded our expectations on many levels and we highly recommend him.

We had a great experience with Jahlcob during our milestone family photo session while vacationing in Playa Del Carmen. The photos are wonderful and the experience was as easy as it gets!

Thank you for giving our family and my mother such care during our session and a wonderful experience altogether. We appreciate you

We absolutely loved our photos and videos. They captured our day perfectly. They were professional, easy to work with, and brought such creative ideas throughout the process. You can really see their skill in every shot. Highly recommend!

I had a destination wedding at The Fives Beach hotel in Playa del Carmen, MX and I could not have asked for a better photographer! Javier is very detailed, creative, and so kind. I have never liked being in front of a camera but he definitely makes you feel so comfortable! My husband and I are in love with all of our wedding photos and video!! We have gotten so many compliments from family and friends as well. Javier and his team do amazing work and really captured the sweetest moments on our special day.

Javier was an asbolute pleasure to work with. He was so thoughtful and creative. Our photos and video turned out so beautiful and I'm so thankful for all of the memories he captured! I would highly recommend working with him!!

We couldn’t be more grateful to our incredible photographer/videographer Jacob for capturing every special moment of our wedding day so beautifully. From getting ready in the morning, to the emotional walk down the aisle at the church, the laughter during cocktail hour, and the joy filled celebration at our venue they were there for it all. Every photo and video is filled with emotion, detail, and love. Thanks to them, we’ll be able to relive our favorite day forever.

Jahlcob and team were some of the most professional, courteous and personal photographers we’ve ever worked with. The team captured our special day so beautifully and even stayed extra to ensure they got every shot. We got our photos and videos back so quickly! Jahlcob considered us every step of the process and we could not have asked for a better experience.

My husband and I had a destination wedding in Barbados in May 2024. Javier (Jahlcob) and his team were recommended by our awesome wedding planner/coordinator and WOW…what a blessing he was. He met with us almost a year before the wedding and he was well prepared with ideas from his experiences but also gave us the space to tell him our vision and our ideas.

The whole team of 3 traveled to our destination and beautifully captured our 3 day wedding event which included a welcome party, wedding day and post wedding catamaran. Their passion truly shows in their work and from day 1 they were flexible to any changes, on time, professional and so extremely friendly.

We would highly recommend Jahlcob to anyone considering him and just know that you will end with a new friend that feels like family!
