    Birdsong is the Absolute BEST!!

    We could not have asked for better photographers! Jess & Genie are so sweet, professional and crazy talented! Before we even hired them, Jess met us at a coffee shop to get to know us and answer any questions we had. We ended up chatting for almost 2 hours and it felt like we had known him forever.

    Fast forward to our wedding day - we were the first wedding to get cancelled due to the pandemic. Birdsong was so understanding and flexible with us when we had to reschedule. We finally got to have our big day in October 2021 and Jess and Genie were an absolute joy to work with! My husband hates taking pictures, but they made it super fun and easy for him. They took beautiful portraits and captured all of the best moments of our special day.

    To top it all off, we did a day after shoot with Jess where we rode around in his Jeep and took the most magical, picture perfect nature shots. It was such a fun day and the photos turned out so dreamy! I would 1000% recommend Birdsong Photography for any special occasion. They are the best and their prices are really reasonable too!

    Jess is an awesome guy and a pleasure to know and work with. He is a true professional and exceeded our expectations. He was very responsive and helpful leading up to the wedding.

    Fantastic Photography experience

    We recently got married and Jess and Genie were wonderful to work with. Both families commented how great they were and were so impressed by their professionalism. Can not say enough wonderful things about the experience. Would definitely recommend them!!

    Everything you could want for your wedding

    Jess and Genie immediately feel like family, and are amazingly professional. They were a great addition to our wedding day, getting everything they need to capture the event, as well as gathering the moments you didn't realize you wanted or even missed. Our day after photo session, was remarkable. We look like the cover of a magazine... just incredible. You ask and receive exactly that. You 100% get what you wanted. Worth EVERY penny.

    Jess and Genie are an amazing team. They were our wedding photographers and did a shoot in Flagstaff, Sedona, and traveled with us on our destination wedding to Mexico. They are a perfect combination providing great portrait photography as well and photojournalist style providing great candids as well. They were there every moment we needed and made sure that we recieved all the shots we wanted and captured every tender moment. We are so thankful that we hired them and they gave us the perfect photos to remember theses amazing times.

    Jess & Genie are hands down amazing! Hiring them as our photographers was the best decision we made. They made sure to get every shot we wanted and then added their expertise. We definitely recommend hiring them. They were also great with the kids, we all know how difficult kids can be with photos and they were great dancing around and making monkey sounds. Love them! We will be hiring them for any other photoshoots we have in the future.

    Birdsong was amazing to work with! Jess is such a professional and has a calmness to him. Everything at my wedding went wrong, from the flower arrangements to the caterer running out of food. But I had no issues with Birdsong at all! Jess and Genie are so friendly and down to earth and even calmed me down when everything around us was falling apart.
    My husband and I did a day after photo session in Sedona and it was like hanging out with friends! They were so fun and awesome to talk to as we walked to different locations. They were very knowledgeable of the area and knew all the amazing spots to take great pictures at. It was as much fun as our wedding had been the day before! I know my pictures will be amazing!!!!They knew my vision and took the time to get to know us and they were so excited to make my dreams come true. Even the few sneak peaks I saw look like magazine covers. I can't express how much we loved working with Birdsong! My husband is already planning for them to do our maternity photos... and we aren't even planning a family yet!

    We hired them based on a recommendation from a friend, and we couldn't be happier at taking the advice! The photo's are amazing! They take a ton of photos, and send them all to you on a CD drive! You get hundreds of touched up photo, and all the untouched ones! They know the area well, and are very helpful with locations. They were also fun to work with :)

    It is obvious from the sample photos on Birdsong’s website that Jess and Genie are artists. After booking them for our wedding, we can attest that they bring the same level of artistry to each and every occasion that they photograph. My husband and I are incredibly pleased with our photos, and have received wonderful feedback from our family and friends. Beyond the physical photos, Jess and Genie both helped our wedding flow smoothly and guided us into looking poised in our photos. Genie was great in the dressing room for the getting ready shots with the girls. It was really valuable to have two photographers during the ceremony. They got simultaneous shots of us reading and responding to our vows. The family pictures turned out beautifully, and we will treasure the shots of just the two of us forever. We couldn’t have picked a better team!

    Gratefully,

    Alex and Ben

    HIRE THEM!!!! We are so in love with our rich photos!! HUGE Thank You to Birdsong Wedding Photography Jess and Genie. Not only are they the BEST photographers money can buy, but turned out to be dear friends to us!!! Jess was a photography teacher at a University here in AZ! (So you bet they know what they are doing!) He taught a few photographers we know and they highly recommended him as well.
    They have been our ROCK through the whole process! Jess, you've been my go-to on everything! Always gave me the best advice and respectfully knew how to handle me and my unnecessary bridezilla moments :) They are a dream team- real artist and I adore you both! Genie, from the minute I met you- I fell in love with you-your energy and stress free attitude was EVERYTHING! So sweet and fun she made this day extra special!! Never met a power couple like these two before! They had us laughing and all of our guests had the best things to say about them! Best decision we've ever made!!!

    We cannot begin to express the level of gratitude we have for the time, effort and true love that Jess and Genie put into our special day, it means the world to us. They successfully captured everything when it comes to our story, the big day and most importantly our silly personality! We have already spent over an hour flipping back and forth through all the wonderful photos and look forward to turning them into artwork to complete our home. We highly recommend Birdsong Wedding Photography, we thoroughly enjoyed working with Jess and Genie and their work speaks for itself! Thanks again!!!

    My husband and I were so happy with Jess and Genie. We planned our wedding remotely from NYC and did not have a chance to go to Sedona before the weekend of our wedding. Jess and Genie were so responsive and gave us great advice which is how we found some of our other vendors. The photos turned out absolutely amazing and they could not have been nicer or more helpful!

    We just signed a contract with Birdsong Photography and couldn't be more excited about the decision! Jess and Genie's work is amazing. Please just visit their website, and you'll see what I mean. www.birdsongweddingphotography.com
    They have been rated as one of the Top 10 Photographers in the Nation. Beyond that, they're extremely personable, professional and fun. They have all sorts of packages and price points to accommodate any budget. We chose a package that offers 6 hours of wedding day coverage with both Jess and Genie shooting, so 2 photographers for 6 hours. This package was about $1000 more than what we had envisioned paying for photography, but after seeing their work, my fiancé and I quickly agreed that it was well worth it and actually, a bargain for the quality of photos they produce. I've lost count of how many times I've heard couples say, "We wish we would've spent more money on photography and less on flowers or cake." Anyway, I hope this was helpful. Check out their website and shoot them an email for price points if interested.

    We loved our photographers who were extremely personable. We are in love with their photographs on their website and can't wait to get our pictures from the wedding back. They are perfect if you are looking for a great photographer with unique artistic perspective.

    This husband and wife team were awesome! While we have not received our photos, I have no doubt they captured everything we wanted. They were efficient and thorough and followed everything we discussed. You know they are passionate about they do and want the best photographs for you - they pulled us away at an opportune moment as the sun was hitting the backdrop mountains perfectly so they could provide us with the Red Rock photos we hoped for.

    I recently reached out to Jess and Genie to inquire about photography for my April 2016 wedding. Jess has been wonderful to work with so far. He scheduled an hour of his time on a Friday night (that's what worked best with my schedule) to set up a phone call to answer all of my questions. I was truly impressed by the knowledge and wisdom Jess and Genie have for the Sedona area. Jess took into account what my fiancé and I are trying to capture and made suggestions for our engagement session and wedding day photography. His expertise his highly valued and appreciated. Jess and Genie are also flexible to help you find the right wedding package that fits your needs. We are scheduled to do our engagement session with Jess tomorrow, and I am so excited to work with him. Their photography is beautiful (and just the style we were looking for) plus he's been a pleasure to work with. I'll update my review after our shoot!

    We were more than impressed by Jess and Genie as a wedding photogrpahy team. They shot our engagement session and wedding and we couldn't be happier with the images we received in return. They are responsive and flexible and made us feel comfortable through the entire process. Choosing a wedding photographer can be confusing and stressful, but this husband and wife team made it super easy. I would highly recommend this duo for a special event that requires that special touch and level of expertise. Thank you both!!

    Words cannot express how grateful we are that we chose Jess and Genie to be our photographers for our wedding day! Planning our destination wedding from Chicago to Sedona in a short time was a bit stressful, but we knew right away that our photos would be in the absolute best hands. From start to finish, working with Jess and Genie was amazing! Jess even helped us find a videographer and day of coordinator after our initial coordinator turned out not to be the best fit. Our photos blew away any expectations we had (or could have ever dreamed up) and we could not be happier! Thank you Jess and Genie for capturing our wedding day so beautifully. You are true artists of your craft! :) Much love, The Cherrys <3

    Jess and Genie were so amazing to work with! From the very first phone interview I could tell that they were professional, passionate about their work, and so completely genuine! We booked an engagement session and our wedding with them.
    Our engagement session was actually so much fun! We were honestly dreading hours of pictures. But they actually made it fun! We laughed and talked and it felt more just like hanging out with friends! They coached us through the whole process to get the most amazing pictures! Many people commented the photos looked like something from a magazine!
    Now, we haven't gotten our wedding photos back yet (wedding was just over 2 weeks ago) but I am not concerned one bit! I am so excited to see their quality, artistic work! They were early to arrive day of, with smiling faces, so ready to do what they love. They made everyone at ease! I cant imagine how frustrating it would be to organize families and people for photos. Jess and Genie were so calm and efficiently got each person posed and into the pictures. We had family comment how nice they were and that generally photographers get overwhelmed and snappy when they have huge weddings to arrange, but not once did anyone get that from Jess or Genie!
    So happy with my choice to book Birdsong Wedding photography and would definitely recommend them!

    Genie and Jess did the photography for my neices wedding a few year ago and after seeing the photos it was a no brainer that we chose them for our wedding. They are so creative and caring. They absolutely saw the vision we wanted for our wedding. We were so fortunate to have selected them and are absolutey thrilled with the results. I would highly recommend them for any special occasion that you want to immoralize on film. They don't just take pictures, they capture the feel and emotion of the event so you can relive it again and again. Thank you so much for making our dream wedding perfect.

    Jess and Genie were amazing! We have pretty interesting families, and they were able to keep everyone on track to get pictures taken before it got dark out. We had a few mishaps, and they stayed LONGER than we scheduled them to accommodate out mistakes. And on top of that, our pictures are absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much, one year and a half later, Jess and Genie!

    Jess and Genie with Birdsong were just incredible. We had the hardest time settling on a photographer for our 3/14/15 wedding, but as soon as we met with them we knew we had found the right photographer for us! I was so pleased with the photos I received, I would have paid more than I did for them. Both Jess and Genie were nothing but professional and truly helped capture the spirit of our big day. They were very flexible, rolled with the punches, and went above and beyond what we expected. Many of our guests and wedding party commented on how much they enjoyed having Jess and Genie there.

    If you're still looking for a photographer, stop looking. You've found it with Birdsong.

    My husband and I are SO glad we booked Jess & Genie for our Sedona wedding. Jess and Genie are a great team who shoot great work (we've only seen the teasers and we are already beyond thrilled)...they are professional and a blast to have around on your big day. Jess and Genie went above and beyond to meet with us, answer questions, and capture all of our special, unique requests. As a destination bride, it really put me at ease to have such a professional photography team on the big day. If you are getting married in Sedona or Arizona, book them...their experience and talent can't be beat! Thanks Birdsong for capturing our big day so beautifully!

    My husband and I spent a few weeks looking through photographers for our wedding. I love photography, so picking a great photographer was on the top of my to-do list. After seeing the photos from Birdsongs blog, I knew that I had found my photographers. Their pictures are beyond amazing!

    Working with Jess and Genie was the best experience, they are very professional and extremely nice and helpful. They spent a good hour going over their equipment and talking to us about the pros and cons of our particular venue. After booking them they helped us set up a timeline for the wedding that would be the best for lighting/ photos. They were very helpful and always responded to emails in a timely manner (which is important when planning a wedding). They even helped us find an officiant for the wedding last minute after ours canceled on us.

    The photos from the engagement session, wedding, and day after photos all came back amazing. The lighting and angles are perfect. We are so happy that we choose to go with Birdsong because they captured our wedding day just how I had always imagined it. There is not a single thing that I would change about the photos, I am so happy with them.

    I would recommend them to everyone.
