About

Hi!

I'm Jay of Jay Zhang Photography, I am a photojournalistic wedding photographer In the Capital Region of New York and ultimately, I'm a story teller.

As a Story Teller, I mainly focus on capturing moments that are real and transcendent, even during some portraiture times so that your photos reflect the authenticity of your story. There are details that you curated and put together for your day that get documented in its essence and environment. I aim to preserve the special moments of the day and make sure that I tell your story the way you have set things out to be.

All of my Wedding couples will get to enjoy the following:

  • Complimentary Engagement shoot
  • High-resolution images
  • Downloadable online Photo Gallery
  • Timeline Drafting and Consultation

I also sometimes work with a second photographer if they are needed depending on how your day will pan out, we usually try and anticiapte this during our first meeting and timeline consultation.

I cover many areas of the capital region and beyond including but not limited to the following:

• The Catskills region
• Albany, Schenectady, Troy
Western NY, Central NY,
• The Catskills
• Saratoga Springs

So flexible!

hello hello! like many folks, we canceled our wedding because of COVID. Jay was super flexible as we figured out our plans. We wound up having a super small 10 person wedding in our local community garden (everyone masked etc.) and Jay came to photograph that! He is ultra organized and helped us keep us on schedule and reminded us of the shots we had wanted to take. My parents couldn't be there but they were on Facetime and Jay was so great about trying to get them in the shots whenever possible. Also Jay was very safe! Masked the whole time and everything so if you are nervous about that don't be! The pictures turned out great and he really captured how DARN HAPPY we were to finally get married!!! Also he is very nice and friendly! And totally willing to go with the flow. I randomly asked him to take a picture of us with my avocado plants and Jay DID NOT BAT AN EYE. He was all "sure! stand here so you guys have better lighting etc." HIRE JAY! he is so nice and kind and will take nice pictures of you.

Dream Photographer!

Jay is the absolute dream photographer. From the beginning he was wonderful to work with, getting to know us at our engagement session. He worked with a not-picture friendly groom who, by the end of the day, was totally comfortable with photography because of Jay’s comforting and fun disposition. Jay won the hearts of every single one of our guests. His communication was impeccable and coordinated with all vendors so the day ran smooth. Jay’s experience is evident in his pre-wedding planning as well as day-of professionalism. And finally- THE PHOTOS. They speak for themselves, his style and eye are perfect. I couldn’t have asked for more! Our photos were delivered by our month wedding anniversary which was quick and smooth! Thank you Jay!

Amazing & organized photographer

Jay was simply amazing to work with. I had no idea where to start on a timeline for my wedding day and Jay made it so easy– he mapped out our day for us perfectly. He was so easy to work with, great to communicate with, comforting and laid-back while remaining professional and organized. He was very knowledgeable and offered great advice for two awkward folks like me and my husband. All of my wedding guests LOVED him and said it was like they knew him all their lives, I couldn't agree more! Jay was respectful to everyone and just made everyone feel so great. My photos look so dreamy and I'm constantly getting compliments on them; he truly made me and my partner feel so beautiful and special. I highly recommend Jay to help make your wedding day even more special and memorable.
