The absolute best

My husband and I agree - Justin was the best choice of our wedding!

On our wedding day, Justin was more than just a photographer. He was a calming presence, helping to fix (multiple!) broken dresses, and pinning on flowers when no one could figure them out, and so much more! He went above and beyond, and not just with how amazing our photos are. He also got our photos back in record time!!

He shot everywhere from within a hotel, church, to our reception - and every photo is as beautiful. More importantly - Justin has the unique ability to capture the feeling of a moment with his photos. He did exactly what we wanted which was to capture amazing photos of our day - without us feeling like we are spending our day on photos or posing.

We are so lucky to get the relive our day and engagement photoshoot through his photos!

Bonus: My mom raved about Justin all night and continues to rave about him.

The BEST there is!!!!

We truly cannot say enough amazing things about Justin!!!

Justin was both our engagement photographer and our wedding photographer, and from the very beginning, he was everything we could have hoped for and more. He is unbelievably talented, but just as importantly, he is one of the most positive, joyful, and genuinely wonderful people you could ever have around you on your wedding day.

Justin is an absolute ray of sunshine!!! Wedding days can be busy, emotional, and a little chaotic, and having someone with Justin’s energy by your side makes all the difference. He brings so much warmth, calm, humor, and happiness into every room he walks into. He somehow makes everyone feel comfortable, relaxed, and excited to be photographed.

One of the things we loved most about Justin is how incredible he is with guests. It is so important to have a photographer who interacts with people in a positive and fun way, and Justin does that perfectly! So many of our family and friends came up to us during and after the wedding to tell us how wonderful he was, how much they loved him, and how much fun they had being photographed by him. He has the best quips, the best energy, and the most joyful presence!!!

And of course, the photos are absolutely stunning. Justin captured our engagement and wedding day so beautifully — the big moments, the little moments, the candid laughs, the happy tears, and all the details we never want to forget. Looking through our gallery felt like getting to relive the entire day all over again.

By the end of everything, Justin was not just our photographer — he truly became our friend. We feel so lucky that he was part of such an important season of our lives, and we are beyond grateful for the memories he captured for us.

He is the absolute best, and we could not recommend him more highly!

Best photographer out there!

Justin will provide you with magical photos (in abundance) beyond your wildest dreams and quite likely will be come your new best friend. Justin captured our engagement shoot in 2025 and wedding in 2026 and we couldn’t be happier. He will fix your hair, tell you exactly how to stand and where to put your hands, and will probably be simultaneously cracking a joke! Justin balances professionalism and relaxed familiarity perfectly, and he has an incredible eye. We are so so happy with our photos!

Amazing Photographer to work with!

Justin was amazing to work with and my wife and I had a great time at our wedding with him as our photographer. He went above and beyond what we requested of him and always made it easy for us to pose and take pictures throughout our wedding while getting a few laughs out of us and our guests as well. We would highly recommend him to anybody looking for a photographer whether it be for a wedding or not.

Best Photographer!

Choosing Justin as our wedding photographer was truly one of the best decisions we made for our big day. He arrived early and immediately put us at ease with his easygoing and friendly attitude.

Justin was incredibly efficient throughout the event—he captured all of the moments we requested plus so many more we hadn’t even thought of. Not only did he make sure to photograph us as a couple, but he also paid close attention to our guests, ensuring everyone was included in the memories. The sheer number of photos and the variety of angles he provided honestly made it seem like there were two photographers working instead of just one.

We were blown away by how quickly Justin delivered our photos. Within just four days of our wedding, he sent us a stunning first look gallery of 300 photos.

Justin was by far the best vendor we worked with—extremely responsive and attentive to detail. We can’t thank him enough for his hard work and the beautiful photographs we’ll cherish forever. If you’re looking for a photographer who goes above and beyond, look no further than Justin!

Justin went above and beyond with our engagement photos they are absolutely stunning! Neither of us had ever done a professional shoot like this before, and he instantly made us feel comfortable and confident. His kindness, professionalism, and eye for detail truly sets him apart! We’re so grateful to have had him capture this special moment and I would highly recommend him to all!! Seriously the best!

Justin is the best!!

I am not exaggerating when I say that working with Justin was one of the highlights of our wedding. From our initial meeting to sending our final photos (incredibly fast!), working with Justin truly felt like we were working with a friend. We had never taken professional photos together and didn't know what to expect, but he made us feel informed, comfortable, and excited to try something new. Justin also has an innate ability to make taking photos fun. We received so many compliments from our guests about how much they enjoyed having him at our wedding. And the photos speak for themselves; they are simply stunning. Every time we look at them, we're able to not only remember how much fun we had at our wedding, but actually feel the joy from that day once more. We are so grateful to have found Justin and could not recommend working with him more!

Look no further than Justin for your photography needs!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Justin for our elopement photos! From start to finish, he was incredibly personable, easygoing, and fun to be around—exactly the kind of energy you want when you're very camera shy. He instantly made us feel comfortable and this really shined through in the photos.

We really appreciated his flexibility as well. The location we had originally wanted was no longer accepting permits and Justin helped us brainstorm some alternative location ideas. Then it was expected to thunderstorm on our day and he was able to work with us on a different day. Our session ended up being on the most humid, sweltering day but Justin still kept our spirits up the whole time and we had so much fun.

The photos themselves are stunning! He has a great artistic eye and was creative in his composition. Justin captured not just how everything looked, but how it felt, which is exactly what we hoped for. We can’t recommend him enough!

EXCEPTIONAL! We were looking for a photographer for our elopement and Justin not only had a very straight forward and clear webpage, but he was so pleasant to work with and had great ideas and made the entire process smooth and incredible! The photos turned out fabulous and his prices are unbeatable for the DMV!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
