Amazing experience with Jimmy and Will

Jimmy did an outstanding job at our wedding. Leading up to it, we had a few zoom calls with him to get an idea of what we were looking for in photos as well as getting organized for the big day! He made sure both sides of our extended family were included in wedding photos. He also gave us the option to go to an AMAZING place (The Planting Fields) for photos right before the wedding with the bridal party and me and my wife and they turned out great!

Jimmy and his partner Will were with us on our big day for TWELVE hours and the whole time they were friendly, positive, patient with our big families, efficient, and professional.

He has a keen eye for finding the best shots and does some experimental takes which turned out amazing. It ended up raining in the evening and he took an awesome photo of us under an umbrella with special lighting where you could see the rain droplets against the night sky. Amazing job and highly recommend. Thanks Jimmy!

You can’t go wrong with Jimmy!

Jimmy has been attentive, professional, knowledgable, open and personable from the beginning. From our first email communication he gave us information and details about his photography style. Highly recommend booking your engagement shoot with him, we were able to see his amazing work first hand! During the shoot, he arrived early, ready to go and recommended the spot based off my initial thoughts and ideas. Once there he posed me and my husband (both less than model material) and was able to capture us in a variety of different locations, poses, lighting etc. For our wedding, he sat down with us to discuss shots he thought we should have as well as shots we wanted. He was able to capture the love, joy and every single detail of our wedding day perfectly. We received an engraved USB drive of all our photos in addition to the digital (the package I believe we chose). The quality of his photos are unmatched. Our guests also LOVE all the dancing photos he took during our reception! There is not enough positive things we can say about Jimmy and his team!!! Price wise, he also was VERY reasonably priced, especially considering 1. The quality of his work and 2. Other photographers we chatted with. From one bride to another HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Creative and easy!

Jimmy is great. He shot our wedding in June '23.

He took some shots that seemed weird at the time but when we got the photos back, we're like "OH!" because he has the eye of a professional. He was able to transform boring backdrops into art.

He is responsive. He is professional. He is punctual.
He does not take stuffy photos and encourages you to be natural.
Would book again and again.

One of my best decisions ever

Jimmy' was highly recommended to me from one of our vendors and 2 random friends of mine who had no ties with each other. We signed immediately after our first consultation with him. He was very upfront, no pushing or annoying upselling nonsense. I felt like I was talking to an actual person that wanted to work with me. Our package included an engagement shoot and day of the wedding. Jimmy arrived early for both events and was already scouting for places to shoot before we arrived. I appreciated how responsive he was throughout the entire process and how thorough he was with our shot list to make sure we got everyone/thing that we wanted. The final pictures came back super quick both times and every single picture looks incredible. Going with Jimmy was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

Best Vendor By Far

Jimmy and his team were consummate professionals. He was there to answer every question we had no matter the time of day. We were sold on his work the second we saw his portfolio and when we received the final product we weren't disappointed. Out of all of our Vendors it was clear Jimmy was different. We felt closer with him and developed a friendship. He'll be our first call when we're lucky enough to photograph our life going forward.

Beyond our expectations!!!

5 stars doesn’t begin to cover it!! Jimmy and his team absolutely knocked it out of the park for our 4th of July weekend wedding from start to finish. It was extremely important to my husband and I that our wedding photos weren’t “cookie cutter”— we were less concerned with the formal, standard wedding photos where the bride/groom are staring into each others eyes or placed strategically in group photos with the wedding party, and more focused on having a “documentary style” approach that really captured “the moments in between” and candid shots of our favorite people sharing in the fun of our wedding day. We wanted to look back on the photos and feel catapulted back into the experience of it all— and Jimmy absolutely nailed it. He captured the stunningly unique features of every area of our indoor/outdoor wedding venue to a T AND documented the all out dance party at the reception flawlessly. Both my husband and I have VERY LARGE families and had huge wedding parties, and jimmys team wrangled everyone with the perfect balance of assertiveness and respect. We never once felt like stepping away for photos was a chore. We were absolutely blown away by the photos when we got them back. Not to mention his turn around time!!!!! Unreal! Hiring Jimmy and his team was one of the best decisions we made. We cannot recommend him enough!

I love my wedding photos

Jimmy took the best photos of my wedding! He arrived earlier than contracted to take detail pics. He had a creative eye and really impressed me with his ideas. His excitement to take the photos gave me the energy I needed to get through it. I was so please with how my photos came out. I would definitely recommend Jimmy to anyone needing a great photographer to capture their special moments.

Amazing decision reinforced

Jimmy was the best decision! We have the most beautiful photos and moments captured, and beyond that our family and bridal party absolutely loved him and Will. They were engaging but gave us space, helped us pose but let us be natural, and we’re a total hit. Many portrait photos with all varying siblings alone then with parents then just parents, then both sides together, etc etc etc can be tough to muster through but he made everyone laugh, had everyone on deck and paying attention and made it painless.
Jimmy worked with the sunlight moving, nature elements beautifully and was a true professional. My husband generally hates getting his photos taken and enjoyed working with Jimmy and Will so very much. We are thrilled that he was part of our day!!

Flawless photos and experience

Not enough wonderful things to say about Jimmy. He was recommended to us by a friend, and we are forever grateful. He shot our engagement photos and wedding photos and made the entire process so seamless, stress free, and flawless. He is so calm and chill yet makes sure everything gets done in a timely and organized fashion. He takes a somewhat awkward and stressful experience (get ready for all those poses!) and makes it actually fun and memorable. He even was able to capture our dog during our engagement shots in her best candid moments. He had a great eye as well for amazing shots, and we cannot possibly recommend him enough. Thank you, Jimmy!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
