About

Rocksteady Images is a husband-and-wife photography duo based out of West Milford, NJ. For their couples to feel seen and known is extremely important to Jarvis & Leah, and they make it a point to document each wedding as if it was their own.

Experience

It's doubtful that anyone ever grows up dreaming of one day becoming a wedding photographer (Jarvis & Leah definitely didn't!). But back in 2012, Jarvis somehow found himself covering his first covenant, and to his surprise, he can honestly say, "I was made for this!" Since then, Jarv has been cultivating his craft and even introduced Leah to photography along the way. (Newsflash, folks: her eye for details + moments is mind-blowing!!) It's kind of funny how these two operate on pretty much opposite ends of the spectrum—Jarvis is super task-oriented and a lover of spreadsheets, while Leah is a creature of curiosity and the best in-person person you'll ever meet—but they're incredibly better off for it. Two perspectives, one vision. Amen.

Rocksteady is amazing

Jarvis was our photographer for our wedding this past September and to say that he impressed would be a wild understatement. We were impressed with his work before we even reached out, and all the way to the wedding day he kept raising the bar higher. He was a calming presence before and during our wedding, and partied with us during the reception, all while capturing every moment. Everyone who attended our wedding first told us how much fun they had, then immediately brought up how much they loved our photographer!! Literally sliding onto the dance floor to capture photos that you can’t get anywhere else, we wholeheartedly recommend Rocksteady for your wedding.

Magic Captured In Monumental Moments

My fiancé and I had never had photos done together before we found Rocksteady Images. Based on the amazing reviews we had very high hopes that our engagement shoot would go great. Our photographer Jarvis exceeded our expectations which I didn't even think were possible. He captured our relationship perfectly on camera. Just by looking at the photos you can see and feel the love we have for each other and in that specific moment. Our families are obsessed with them and agree that our relationship was so perfectly caught on camera. We both went into the photo shoot feeling nervous and when we met up with Jarvis he made all of the nervous worried feelings disappear within the first five minutes of talking to him. He is the kindest, most down to earth, personable and coolest photographer I've ever had the pleasure of working with. My fiancé (who never cared for having photos taken) now hopes we can make it a traditional special activity we do every year for our anniversary. Jarvis will 100% be our wedding photographer for our reception next year. We don't have a set date for it yet since we are getting married in Ireland this November but if I have to I will work my reception around his schedule. He is the only one I trust with the job and if I could take him with us to Ireland I would. I can't recommend him enough. Jarvis is beyond talented and knows how to make you feel so comfortable during the whole process and plus he's like a magic sorcerer behind the camera. You know the photos will come out magical!

The BEST experience with the greatest people

Jarvis and Leah were suggested to us by a friend. After looking at their wedding pictures, we immediately fell in love with the candid emotion that these two capture in every photo. Rocksteady's pictures speak for themselves, but what we were truly so lucky to have was the friendship we made in this beautiful couple. Our wedding was one of the many that had to be rescheduled due to COVID 19. My husband and I made the decision to get married still on June 20, 2020 and have a big party later that year to celebrate. As we told Jarvis and Leah this, there was no hesitation and they IMMEDIATELY started planning and replanning the schedule for our photos for our special day in June. They made us truly feel excited for our day and promised to be there, quarantining and all, for our special day. Later that year, we had to reschedule our big celebration AGAIN. Throughout this whole entire process, Jarvis and Leah put us and our marriage first and never ever waivered on their commitment to being there for us in all weddings. We had the most amazing celebrations and, to this day, people still talk about how incredibly amazing our photographers were. Beautiful pictures, beautiful memories, and truly beautiful people! Anyone who works with them is lucky, and we feel so very blessed that these two followed our relationship for the past 3 years of planning. Thank you will never be enough!!!

Rocksteady was 100 out of 10

I am the photographer of my friend group, so my bridal party hired Jarvis for my bridal shower so that I didn't have to worry about the day being captured. I'm quite picky, but my experience with Rocksteady was 100 out of 10. Jarvis captured every detail of the day. And when we received our album, it really told the whole story and the photos were INCREDIBLE. While Jarvis obviously captured awesome posed photos, he also has a photojournalistic style and subtly captured many of the "behind the scenes" moments. Jarvis was truly awesome to work with day-of and made us feel comfortable and really helped with our posing when we felt awkward. I whole-heartedly recommend Rocksteady Images.

Best photographer!

Jarvis was amazing. We had a small home wedding and he was flexible and great to work with. He worked with what we wanted and captured great moments and even suggested certain pictures. Highly recommend! He even reminded me to take mental pictures of my special day. Thank you Jarvis!

Best Photographers Ever!

To say Rocksteady surpassed all expectations I had would be the understatement of the year. My now husband and I are a COVID couple, and decided to postpone our larger celebration til 2021 and do a small gathering this year. This is where Jarvis came in. From our first introduction all the way through delivering final pictures, Jarvis was a pleasure to work with - timely, responsive, and of course (and obviously) insanely talented. All of our friends and family are obsessed with our pictures and everyone that sees them comments on how amazing they are. I am so thrilled with Jarvis' work and would recommend them to anyone & everyone!

You are in the best hands

I got married during COVID19. Jarvis and Leah and we’re by my side helping me create over 3 weddings because of all the craziness due to the virus. Each time a crisis began, they were constantly there to listen to me and make the absolute best of each situation regarding my wedding.
Their creativity shines, their teamwork is flawless, their artistry is out of this world.
I had a one photo in particular where I wanted my mother to zip up my dress, but due to the virus I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to have that picture. Thanks to Leah, a fishing pole, and a two story building, that picture was possible and more memorable than I could have ever dreamed.
Most of my family and friends could not be physically there, so my family that was present was able to FaceTime/Zoom chat in my loved ones. Thanks to Jarvis and Leah they took incredible family pictures THROUGH THE PHONE of each family member. That technology allowed my family to be present and Jarvis and Leah had the perfect camera and eye to make that bittersweet memory a beautiful gift that now makes me smile.
They played funny games with me and my groom to make us feel comfortable and capture the sweetest moments.
2 weeks before the actual wedding, over FaceTime I told my photographers I was going to have a drive in wedding, id be wearing masks and gloves, if stay 6 feet apart from my loved ones, and I was going to end the night in a mud fight.
They took all of this crazy information, and turned it into a perfect wedding day. To most photographers, they would have probably called us crazy, but only Jarvis and Leah could take a crazy situation like this, and turn it into a fairytale dream wedding.
They are truly gifted people. If you choose Rocksteady, I ASSURE you, you are in the best of hands.

The best wedding decision we made

Jarvis and Leah are truly the best of the best and I wish I could give them MORE than 5 stars. Rocksteady is above and beyond wedding photography - it is so clear and tangible how much they care for the couples they work with and you know that on your wedding day they are just as invested as you are.

More than taking absolutely stunning photography and capturing beautiful, genuine moments on our wedding day, they were a comforting presence to have - which is so important on such a stressful and emotional day! I really can’t recommend Rocksteady enough. If you are looking for beautiful wedding photos that capture not only the bride and groom but the family, wedding party, guests, scenery and details, you need to hire Rocksteady!!

Fantastic wedding photographers!!

Jarvis and Leah, aka Rocksteady, were the best wedding photographers! Throughout the entire process of working with them, from doing a video chat early on to get to know each other before making any decisions, to receiving our full set of wonderful wedding photos, we were impressed with their dedication, talent, and general awesomeness. They really made an effort to get to know us, understand our particular preferences, make us comfortable, and create beautiful photographs that were personal and fitting for us. Jarvis and Leah are genuinely kind and considerate people, and they are very professional and experienced - but also fun to be around. Friends of ours had used Rocksteady for their wedding, and we had heard good things from the couple as well as the wedding party. Our own research of their website and reviews compared to other options, plus a video chat with Jarvis and Leah solidified our decision. We selected a package that included an engagement photo session, and we were very happy with that decision. Not only did we get some excellent photos, but we also appreciated having the opportunity to get to know Rocksteady and their style in advance of our wedding. Plus, we truly enjoyed the session, due in part to Jarvis and Leah’s friendliness, ability to put us at ease, and willingness to go along with our ideas. Our package also included a venue visit during which we and the Rocksteady duo scoped out our wedding venue for great photo opps a couple months before the wedding. That was very helpful and, again, a nice chance to connect with our wedding photographers before the wedding day. Jarvis and Leah were also very helpful in planning in advance an itinerary of photos / events for our wedding day. Their advice was valuable and we really appreciated that they were so organized. On the day of our wedding, it was no surprise that Jarvis and Leah were fantastic and surpassed our expectations. They were professional, organized, and prepared, as well as being a positive, comforting, and fun influence. They both looked out for us and stayed attuned to our wishes while also crushing it on the photography front all day. Jarvis and Leah make such a great team. Plus, it really made a difference that we felt a strong personal connection to them by the time it was our wedding day - being photographed for your wedding is a very personal experience, and we think it was more enjoyable and special (and less awkward!) having our photographers be people with whom we had already bonded. We received a handful of preview photos from Rocksteady shortly after our wedding, and they were all fantastic. We were thrilled when we received our full set of photos, as they were also spectacular. Rocksteady did an excellent job of capturing so many aspects of our wedding day through beautiful photos. We are grateful for Jarvis and Leah’s part in making our wedding amazing, and we would highly recommend them to any couple looking for outstanding wedding photographers.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
