JJ is an absolute stud. It rained all day at our wedding and somehow he managed to get some of the coolest outdoor wedding pictures I've seen in a long time. Never missed a major moment throughout the night and we couldn't be happier with the final product, customer service, and overall experience. I would highly recommend him to anyone who asks.

It was a pleasure working with JJ. He is friendly, professional, and takes great photos. He helped capture our wedding, and he felt like a personal friend and support system the whole way through. He definitely reduced our stress. We would strongly recommend him!

Where do I even start with this guy??? He's THE MAN! And so so talented!! He's a PHENOMENAL photographer, and takes the most absolutely STUNNING pictures, does an outstanding job of editing them, and gets everything to you on time. On top of that, he's an amazing human being! SO much fun to hang with! The wedding and shoots were honestly like havin a blast with your good buddy. He's got such a genuinely kind, loving, lighthearted soul, and his positivity is contagious. He's just a good dude. You can see that immediately, along with the fact that he's passionate and REALLY cares. He was more than I could have asked or hoped for in a photographer, and I wouldn't recommend anyone over him. He's the best! We LOVE this guy!! And you will too!! Thank you so much for everything JJ!! You the man!!

JJ worked with the photographer we hired for our wedding, and we were very impressed! He was very professional, social, and lots of fun! He and our photographer Stephen made photos an extremely fun process; this coming from a reviewer that isn't very photogenic. They were great with our guests, and they even joined in the dancing at the end of the night! Without a doubt, they were an integral part in our big day, and they definitely made it better than we could have imagined!

This guy has got such a wonderful eye for capturing elegance, intimacy and grandeur from amidst hustle and bustle-- and his ability to seamlessly combine them all ensures keepsake images just as golden and magical as the memories. He certainly created wonderful treasures for us... Thanks again!

Sit down with this guy! You'll know right away that he 's professional, he cares, he is affordable, and he listens. Our wedding went off without a hitch, in part, because he didn't take a long time taking post ceremony pictures while people waited around. He was there, but he was never in the way of the celebration. That's just what you want! We're an older couple who have experience gauging who is or isn't good at their job. This guy is wonderful. You will not regret this choice! The pictures were gorgeous!

Jonathan James Photography worked with us from day 1 to make sure that our wedding day was not only captured beautifully but flowed smoothly. JJ created a schedule of the day based on past experience and met with my fiance and me to make sure that everything worked for us. From there, he asked us if there were any shots that we absolutely wanted. Day-of, JJ took control and made the entire wedding party feel at ease. What initially drew me to Jonathan James Photography was his friendliness, creativity, and his amazing mix of originality and timelessness. I'd definitely recommend him to anyone, he won't disappoint!

We are really glad that we had JJ do our photos! He was really easy to work with and kept us relaxed and having fun during both the wedding and engagement sessions. He was also helpful when we were planning out the timeline and seeing how everything would fit together. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who wants a upbeat and committed photographer!
