We trusted him with our most important day from day one!
We hired PJ to do our engagement photos in CO and when he found out our wedding was going to be in MN, he was all for making the trip! We worked out travel arrangements and gave him a place to stay for the weekend and he became a part of our family! He produced spectacular photos of our big day and captured the moments that really mattered. He's just a great person!! He went above and beyond with our engagement shoot to get all of the shots he wanted as well as shot our wedding day until late at night. We had to tell him on numerous occasions to put the camera down, grab a drink, and party! He was a great communicator throughout the entire process and really got to know Riley and I so we were comfortable around him during some of our more intimate moments. He shot the day all by himself and didn't miss a moment that needed to be captured. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Madeline!
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and kind response! Getting to work with couples like you is what it's all about. From a beautiful engagement session where we truly clicked to your beautiful wedding in Minnesota in October where I had such a good time being there to capture it for you. You both are such beautiful and kind hearted souls! I'm so grateful that you were not only clients but that we also became friends!

Captures Authenticity - would highly recommend!
We had to postpone our wedding due to COVID-19 this past year and PJ was SO easy to work with, as we rescheduled our wedding. He took engagement photos for us recently and we truly could not have asked for a better photographer, at a price we can afford! The engagement photo shoot was honestly effortless, as PJ made us feel comfortable and made it an enjoyable time for all. What we really value is how PJ captures the authentic, genuine moments in his photography. We highly recommend PJ! We are so thrilled and relieved we can rely on him as our photographer for our wedding next fall! :)

Professional, creative and fun!
PJ was a great find for our engagement photo shoot. He was very welcoming and flexible with our ideas for the shoot. PJ also provided his own ideas and created some great photos. We had a great time during the entire session.

Hi Scott! Thank you so much for leaving me a review here on WeddingWire. Your engagement session was such a joy. You and Corey's love for each other truly showed in the photographs and I am grateful that I could capture a series of images that were uniquely you. I am very excited to photograph your wedding in May!
