Jashim and Ruby were absolutely wonderful to work with for our wedding. Just from the initial call, we could tell that Jashim was interested in getting to know about us and what we wanted out of the experience which was different than any phone calls we had with other photographers. When our calls would run over time, Jashim would make sure to schedule another call to make sure we didn't leave out any key points.
With our engagement photoshoot, Jashim made my fiance and I feel super comfortable since we are not that experienced with posing for pictures. He listened to my ideas as I can be really picky with photos and was able to recreate the vision I had in mind. He even ran to get me water when I fainted from the heat lol.
For our wedding weekend, Jashim was on top of finding the best spots/locations at our venue for the most aesthetic shots and he was able to help us create our reception entrance video. We could tell a lot of research was done prior to the wedding weekend to make our vision a reality. He coordinated seamlessly with our video team to make sure they didn't spend too much time posing for pictures so we could enjoy the day as much as we could. This is something that we really appreciated. Jashim and his team would go above and beyond for the perfect images and have a surprisingly quick turnaround time for getting wedding photos back! I know couples with other wedding photographers who have to wait several months or even a year to get their wedding photos back but Jashim was able to get us sneak peeks even a week after the wedding!
Hiring his team was one of the easiest decisions of this wedding planning process and if you are going to spend more money on anything, I definitely recommend that being photo/video. Hire Jashim for your wedding - you won't regret it!!

When we began planning our wedding, my husband and I talked about the 'must haves' for our wedding- things that we knew were non-negotiable to us. The top of both of our lists were our photographer. We knew above all else, we wanted someone who could capture our wedding and give us memories that we could look back at years later. We both looked at multiple photographers, but Jashim Jalal's Instagram was the one we kept coming back to. His candids were beautiful, perfectly capturing the emotion of his couples' day and telling a perfect story. His portraits were absolutely breathtaking and looked like something out of a magazine. We still were between a few choices, but what really sealed the deal for us was my initial phone call with him. When you first speak to Jashim, he automatically makes you feel like a friend. He genuinely wants to know your story and what your vision of the day is. When speaking to him, you can tell that photography is truly his passion and it was something that absolutely won me over that as soon as I finished my call with him, I called my fiancé and told him that we had found our wedding photographer.

Our engagement session with Jashim was great! We decided to try an outdoor nature -filled engagement shoot and Jashim made every picture look amazing. He kept us at ease and laughing the entire day, and gave us tips of how to pose and look more natural in front of his camera.

On my wedding day, it was so great to see a familiar face that morning! Jashim came in with a big smile and automatically went to work, blending so well into the background and capturing images that I didn't even realize were happening! He, Christa his assistant, and our second photographer, Ruby, were with us throughout the entire day and captured every important moment of our day so perfectly.

One of the things I was most concerned about was that a majority of our bridal party/couple pictures would be taking place outside after the sun went down due to our late November wedding. A huge part of me was nervous about how these pictures would turn out. Jashim and Ruby- when I say that these nighttime pictures are my absolute favorite from our album, I truly mean it. They are so breathtaking and so much more than I ever could have imagined. Looking through each of these pictures has been great, seeing the emotion captured during the day, the moments we didn't even realize were happening, and seeing all of our friends and family celebrating together. If you are hesitating on whether or not to book Jashim, do yourself a favor and book a call with him, and see for yourself why he may be the perfect photographer for you! Thank you Jashim, Ruby, and Christa for capturing our day! You have given us such an amazing gift to look back on!

When you're working so hard to plan a wedding, you need to have the right photographer to fully capture the work you put into the wedding and capture key moments and emotions of the wedding-- Jashim is that guy! We don't normally get professionally photographed and so I remember feeling SO awkward at first- he made sure that I was not tense, and not having a forced fake smile on and comfortable before taking his pics. Our engagement shoot photos were taken in literal freezing weather and he made us look warm and flawless! Not to mention he was down to drive to Philly for that day and accommodate our difficult itinerary to get the shots we wanted! For the wedding days, he was prompt, so great at making us feel less stressed and made our families/friends feel comfortable in front of the camera. We got our wedding photos back and are having such a hard time picking what should go into our wedding album! He is our photographer and friend for life!

As we began our wedding planning process, we always knew we needed the right photographer. Your wedding photographer is definitely one of the most important vendors for the wedding. They are the only one that can capture the memories that you get to look back on for years and years.

We reached out to several photographers throughout our initial planning process, Jashim being one of them. I had browsed Jashim’s website and social media platforms, and from that I knew he had the vision we were looking for. Just to confirm, I arranged for us to have an initial conversation to hear about his work and experience. Jashim and I talked for several hours on the phone. We went through all my ideas and visions for the wedding day. It felt like I was talking to a friend from the start. He not only listened to what I had to say, but he was able to provide professional recommendations. He even went above and beyond to give advice on other parts of the wedding planning process which was so kind as we had not even finalized choosing him as our photographer at the time! After that initial conversation with Jashim on the phone, I called my fiancé at the time and told him I knew Jashim was the perfect fit for us.

The weekend of our wedding, he was hands down our favorite vendor. He was able to take our vision and execute it beautifully. Throughout the whole weekend, he worked extremely well with our family, friends, and vendors. He was constantly checking in on us and made us feel at ease. We were extremely happy as to how he managed the whole wedding process with us. He has definitely transitioned from our photographer to a good friend of ours. If I had to plan my wedding over again, I without a doubt would choose Jashim. He has the perfect mix of being professional as well as being that friend you can depend on. Our wedding would not have been the same without him.

We're so glad that we went with Jashim Jalal Studios for our wedding! We had an Indian wedding with three events (Sangeet, Wedding, and Reception) which Jashim and his team covered exceptionally. Every part of the experience was great - from our first phone calls and meetings, to the engagement photoshoot, and to all of the events during the weekend of our wedding.

What stood out to me in my first phone call with Jashim was how it didn't feel like he was just going through the motions or trying to get us to commit to a pre-packaged contract right away. He took the time to understand us as individuals, asked about our priorities, gave his advice exactly when we needed it.

Being a great wedding photographer is a lot more than angling for the most beautiful shots. It requires someone who can handle the following:

* Helping the couple feel at ease in front of the camera
* Being responsive and punctual
* Crowd control
* Providing clear instructions on how to move and position oneself (I never realized how important this was until I worked with another photographer for a different event who struggled with his instructions)
* Coordinating with other vendors

Jashim and his team check every single box and do so with a positive attitude and a tremendous commitment to making your wedding memorable. During our wedding day, the ceremony actually ran well over the time that we had originally scheduled for, but instead of packing up and leaving at the time detailed in our contract, Jashim stayed throughout and made sure we still got all of the photos with different family groups. Afterwards we worked together to come up with a price adjustment that was very reasonable.

If you're on the fence, just pick up the phone and talk to him. He'll help you come up with a contract that works best for your situation. He's there to provide emotional support when dealing with all of the external noise of wedding planning.

In a sea of seemingly endless decisions that you have to make while planning your wedding, hiring Jashim ended up being one of the easiest and greatest decisions that we made. Our experience was totally worth it!

We got married on 10.12.2019. Jashim is phenomenal. Before booking, Jashim was super professional and patient will all questions I had. Over the past year Jashim has become a friend that you want to be next to you throughout the stresses of the wedding process! He taught me to pose and calm down a bit throughout the chaotic moments. He really gets to know each couple well during the engagement shoots. The wedding pictures came back wonderful and our family loved him so much we booked him for my brothers wedding. Designing the albums with him has been a super enjoyable process as well. Additionally, many vendors get along well with him, and our guests also raved about his personality and how easy it was to pose with him. If you're considering hiring him, you will not regret it!

I first heard of Jashim by seeing some of his work on social media from different friend's weddings. I was always impressed with his angles, shots and professional yet pleasantly unique looking photos. He brought nothing short of his A game to our wedding weekend in Maryland. From the mehndi at the house to the baraat on the terrace to the wedding and reception at the hotel, Jashim worked tirelessly to get so many good shots!

We have only seen a sneak peek released so far but if the full gallery looks anything like this, we are going to be ecstatic with the outcome.

I would recommend Jashim to anyone who wants a modern and professional photographer that will understand your taste and make your photos come to life.

I look forward to working with him on future events!

Jashim was absolutely wonderful from our initial meeting all the way through until after our wedding. He was thoughtful, amazingly organized, friendly, and captured every single detail possible. He was so easy to work with and we are lucky to have found him!! We have already referred so many of our friends to work with Jashim because he truly was wonderful to work with. We are beyond happy with our engagement and wedding photos and love following Jashim's work on instagram :) THANK YOU!

Where to start with Jashim? From our initial meeting w/ Jashim, we knew he was the right fit for us and our wedding. Jashim was extremely personable (got to us and our families), has a great vision, and is extremely accommodating! Our engagement shoot was rained on 3 times and Jashim did not hesitate to reschedule all three times! He made sure my vision came to life, and I could not be happier with how my photos throughout my wedding week turned out.

He's great with big families and multiple directions (at the same time!), makes sure he captures all things important to the couple (and then some), and best of all captured candid moments of our guests throughout all the events!

Best decision ever!!

Jashim has been hands down the best vendor we booked for our wedding. He has an eye for composing shots that is very unique, so the photos we ended up with are truly amazing. Jashim and his team covered the entire spectrum including candids, posed shots, detail shots, family photos, group shots before and after events. He and his team had exceptional attention to detail and made it their priority to ensure that all near and dear ones are in our photos and felt comfortable. Even in potentially stressful moments he effortlessly took us aside to try out some new angles and shots. We can genuinely say that we came out of the process with some wonderful photos and a good friend.

There were several occasions where they went above and beyond to adjust and stick to the demanding schedule of an Indian wedding. We hired him for our Engagement shoot, Sangeet, Wedding Ceremony and Reception - and each and every event was handled with utmost care and professionalism. All our photos were also delivered on time. We’re thrilled with them and cannot recommend him enough!
