Kaylor Sent on 12/22/2025Timeless Photos and Endless Gratitude
We couldn’t recommend Fits&Stops Photography highly enough. PJ and his team were simply incredible as our wedding photographers!
From our very first interaction, PJ’s warm and personable nature put us at ease and helped us connect with him right away. His communication and professionalism throughout the entire planning process were outstanding, and he offered invaluable insights and suggestions, especially when it came to crafting our timeline.
His pricing was competitive with other local photographers and packages, and he worked flexibly with us to accommodate our budget. We were thrilled that he also offered videography services and a second shooter option, both of which we added and are so glad we did!
Just days before our original wedding date, we faced an unexpected health emergency that forced us to postpone. PJ was incredibly responsive, understanding, and supportive during this stressful time. Fortunately, he and his team were available for our rescheduled date a month later, and we are endlessly grateful for their flexibility and kindness!
PJ and his team were one of the greatest blessings of our wedding day, and we’ll always be thankful for the timeless, beautiful photos they captured of our most cherished moments. We received our full gallery ahead of schedule, and we haven’t stopped raving about them since, the images perfectly convey the joy, love, and magic of the day. We’re so grateful to have these treasures to cherish forever! -

We are so lucky to have found P.J. to capture our wedding day, especially because from the time we reached out to our wedding day, our vision and plan changed. He is patient, flexible, thoughtful, imaginative and put us and our families completely at ease. Because he had so much experience with taking photos near our wedding location, he was able to choose an amazing location for our candid photos. In addition, our photos are stunning and we will cherish them forever. we highly recommend him to capture your special day. -

Customer for Life
It’s 5yrs later and I’m still swooning over the engagement & wedding photos PJ captured for us. His skill behind the camera is without compare, but what really sets PJ apart is his intentionality with his clients. It’s evident how passionate he is about his work and the people he serves. We still get personalized follow up seeing how our family is doing! Exceptional service all the way around & could not recommend Fits and Stops Photography enough! -

Very personable, talented, and helpful!
P.J. took beautiful photos for our post-elopement photoshoot! He was easy to talk to and happily suggested locations after listening carefully to what we wanted, which resulted in us having photos in a place that we didn’t even know about that represented us well.
He was flexible and suggested alternatives in the event forecasted rain could’ve impacted our plans. He traveled an hour each way to our photoshoot and his rate for travel was incredibly reasonable. He was transparent in his pricing and laid out our options without pressure. The number of edited photos he provided to us exceeded our expectations in both quality and quantity. We would gladly us P.J. again and would highly recommend him! -

Best Wedding Photographer!
PJ is an amazing photographer who gets to know you as the client so that he can capture the best photos possible for you. My husband and I had him as our engagement shoot and wedding photographer and he delivered amazing pictures that were one of a kind. He is very professional but also is very personable and we couldn’t have asked for any better. My husband and I would highly recommend his services to anyone! -

Angie Sent on 01/01/2026Best team for all occasions!
We've been working with the Fits and Stops team from our engagement all the way until our wedding day. My husband hired PJ to be our photographer for our proposal and he was so friendly, gave amazing directions and us and our son had the best time. We loved him so much, we asked if we can have him as our videographer for our wedding (we would've done photography but our wedding package included photography). He referred us to Spencer and Billy from their team since they are the videographers while PJ is the photographer of their team. We spoke with them and gave them our vision and they absolutely delivered! Just like PJ, both Spencer and Billy were very friendly, provided great direction, worked well with our wedding coordinator and photographer, and 2 months after our wedding, provided us a folder of beautiful videos. My family and I are thankful for these 3 guys for their excellent service, amazing photos and videos and making the overall experience wonderful and memorable. Hope to work with you guys again for other events!!! THANK YOU!!! -

We had the privilege of hiring Fits and Stops Photography for our wedding (our third and definitely not last time working with him!) PJ has an amazing eye for capturing the details and action moments that you’ll want to remember. Even when we asked for him to stay longer on the whim, he did not hesitate and was happy to stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer who truly cares about their clients and ensures everyone is comfortable. You won’t regret choosing Fits and Stops Photography! -

From our first interaction and conversation about our weeding needs in 2023, we knew when we walked away that PJ Oswald was going to be our choice photographer. PJ is the most charismatic, professional and flexible photographer we have worked with. He was great with our children and patient with our large group family photos. His expertise and confidence helped us relax on such an important day in our lives. The photos were absolutely stunning. PJ captured exactly what we requested; candid moments with our family and close friends. He has become our first choice photographer since then. -

Amazing photographer
We had an amazing experience with P.J. as our wedding photographer. P.J. was super responsive, easy to work with, and very professional, which made the whole process feel effortless. As someone who’s pretty camera shy, I was nervous going in, but P.J. made me feel comfortable right away and kept everything relaxed and stress-free.
The engagement and wedding photos turned out absolutely beautiful—we couldn’t be happier with them. Even when the second shooter was sick on the wedding day, P.J. handled it without any stress being passed on to us or the wedding party. Everything still ran smoothly.
Overall, P.J. made the entire experience easy and enjoyable, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great wedding photographer. -

A photographer who was an answered prayer
I made the mistake to wait last minute to hire a wedding photographer. I knew I was putting myself in a hard place to try looking for a photographer who could be available the weekend of my wedding and fit my narrowed down budget by that point. So I prayed and prayed that God would bring to me the right photographer who would be available and also meet my budget as closely as possible. When I reached out to PJ, he not only responded first and quickly but I was able to hop on a call with him within 24 hours and have all my questions answered. And after discussed my dilemma, thankfully, he was still available the weekend of my wedding and was willing to negotiate services to meet my budget. He even patiently gave me some time to think things over before making a decision. I explained to my mother the options I had with PJ, and unbeknownst to me, she spoke to a family friend who was looking to give us a wedding gift and was so happy to know there was a need to still hire a photographer. So I ended up being able to afford full services from PJ for the day of our wedding as a wedding gift from a dear friend.
PJ was a complete answer to prayer in so many ways! The quality of his work, the timeliness of providing photos after the wedding, and all the interactions with him, prior to the wedding, the day of the wedding and after the wedding was sheer joy. His direction and guidance and his understanding of how to handle our large family wedding down to the little details was seen and felt and noticed in all the photos. My husband and I love reviewing our waiting photos, have hangings of them on our walls and love sharing them with family to keep the memory of our most happy day alive in our hearts and minds for years to come. I'm grateful for PJ and highly recommend him as a photographer!! I hope he is an answer to prayer for everyone else who uses his services, because he certainly was for me!! -

PJ was wonderful to work with! He not only was quick to respond, brought a lot of great insight (you can tell he's been at this a while), and provided amazing pictures (quickly!), but he was also a lot of fun and made it easy to work with him. I love our pictures, and especially love how he captured a lot of unique detail shots, incorporated the scenery, and somehow still captured all the moments. He worked so hard (jumping over plants, climbing on railways) which led to some great pictures. Would highly recommend. -

Samantha Sent on 03/03/2025The BEST photographer you could ask for!
Hiring PJ as our wedding photographer was seriously one of the best decisions we made for our special day. From the moment I reached out with questions he was attentive, communicative, and completely dedicated to capturing our wedding exactly as we envisioned. His professionalism and passion for his craft are incredible.
I felt at ease the moment we booked him and I am forever grateful that he shared his talent with us!
I found that the photos he takes are so beautifully composed, perfectly lit, and my favorite is that they were filled with the emotions of the day. He and his second photographer worked seamlessly together, both equally kind, professional, and gifted at what they do.
When we received our photos, I was so excited! PJ didn’t just capture moments of our day, he captured the feelings, memories, and the magic of the day. You will not regret having PJ document your wedding, and I cannot wait to see all the incredible work he does next! Thank you PJ!! :) -

We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photographer! From start to finish, they were not only incredibly talented but also so friendly and easygoing, making the entire experience feel effortless. They captured every important moment beautifully while also letting us have fun with our Star Wars-themed photos—yes, including helmets and a perfectly executed force choke shot!
Their ability to make everything feel natural and relaxed was amazing, and they truly went above and beyond to bring our vision to life. If you’re looking for a photographer who is both professional and a blast to work with, look no further. Highly recommend! -

Best Wedding Photographer Ever!!
PJ was beyond amazing in photographing our big day. Not only did we get amazing photos to forever remember our wedding day. PJ was instrumental in coordinating family photos and helping awkward ducklings look like beautiful swans even in 105 degree weather. We will definitely be using him for family photos in the future. -

Monique Sent on 11/15/2024Wonderful Work and a Joy to Work With
PJ has been an absolute joy to work with. Our engagement/family photo shoot and wedding day were captured beautifully. PJ never leaves you hanging, he always responded right away to any questions we had allowing us to feel comfortable and confident. He was such a huge help when it came to solidifying our timeline for the big day. We had a large wedding party but that didn’t make a difference to him! He kept things running smoothly and made sure all the important details were captured. He was extremely professional when he had to deal with a not so professional wedding coordinator. He was tactful and flexible. When our timeline ran behind he had no problem staying longer upon our request to ensure all of our special moments were captured. PJ surprised us with how quickly he got our finished photos back to us! His services were greatly appreciated and we were glad to have him by our side during our big day. Thank you PJ! I would definitely recommend! -

The Best Wedding Photographer in the Sacramento Area! Seriously.
If you are looking for a wedding photographer, look no further. PJ was amazing to work with and we are thrilled by the engagement and wedding photos that he delivered. He is flexible and does not "force" shots and poses so the pictures are natural, capturing the genuine emotions of the moment. He is local to Sacramento and traveled to El Dorado Hills for our engagement photo shoot and the wedding day. He is also a great source of knowledge regarding other wedding vendors. He recommended our officiant and she was amazing too. -

Exceptional
From start to finish PJ goes the extra mile to make the process as SMOOTH and painless as possible. He also has an amazing eye and captures moment that feel like you’re at a Hollywood wedding. Although we only had him working are small wedding he managed to stay hidden and capture amazing candids of us and our guests. There really wasn’t anything about the experience that was lacking. Exceptional from A-Z!!!
We ordered the large wedding album and it is the perfect way to be able to look back every year to see our special day. The layout and quality are the hands down best I have ever seen. I added a few pics of the wedding book to this review to showcase his skills. He’s also lighting fast! From start to finish is only took 3 weeks to get our pics from our wedding and to get an album layout for approval. -

Shelby Sent on 02/02/2024Fantastic Experience!
The entire experience from start to finish with Fits & Stops photography was incredible. I was first impressed with PJs attention to detail, care for knowing us on a personal level, organization, and professionalism. He started off our first meeting over coffee and getting to know my husband and I, our story/ how we fell in love. He desired to understand both our values and vision for our wedding. My husband and I left that meeting having almost already decided on our choice photographer because of the intentionality and professionalism PJ showed us through questions and a showcase of his work. Lastly, after sharing my concern about not being the most comfortable or natural in front of the camera for both my husband and I, PJ was affirming and encouraging that it will all turn out fabulously and he would coach us through it - it would be natural :) we left the meeting feeling comfortable with him, and confident that PJ and team would help us feel more comfortable during Al the emotions on day of.
Shortly after saying yes to PJ, he provided clear communication on next steps, documents he would be asking for, and dates of when we would need to submit him the final details. This professionalism and clear communication founded my trust in him to lead one of the largest portions of a wedding, without any management assistance from me or my coordinator!
Leading up to the day, PJ was easily accessible and quick to respond to any questions I had.
On wedding day he and his second shooter were absolutely fabulous!!! He was calm, excited, and ready to capture all the moments in the most beautiful ways. I literally didn’t have to worry about a single thing - I trusted them to do their thing and they certainly did.
One outstanding moment for me was during that time after being wed and before the reception where all the photos with family happened. This can honestly be a mess and chaos, but PJ and team handled this very well and kept us on schedule. The best thing was PJs flexibility when there were last minute changes to the shot list for the grooms side! He was seriously a champ and keep us all on time to not miss the golden hour photos.
Everything was set up perfectly for all the different locations of important moments - some he set up and some we set up - from our prayer together before the ceremony to the sparklers exit it was MAGICAL.
Words from the groom :) PJ was friendly, kind, outgoing yet still professional at the same time. We shared the same cakes and trusted and knew he would capture the moments that were most important to us!
After the wedding, we received sneak peeks literally within the week. And received the full set of photos within the month, it was an exceptional turn around for the quality and amount of photos.
THANK YOU Fits & Stops! I exceptional experience. -

! You have to hire pj (fits & stops)
PJ is THE BEST! I can’t sing enough praise about him. I found him through The Knot actually and he did our engagement pics originally. He was so responsive, professional and made us so comfortable as non photogenic people that we were so impressed! He also tolerated our pup well! Our engagement photos came back quickly and gorgeous. When we were starting to think about wedding planning, I reached out immediately to PJ to get his availability for June and I literally chose our wedding date solely around PJ being free that day. He is THAT GOOD. PJ walked me through filling out a survey and questionnaire to really get a clear and detailed understanding of our day and any preferences. On the wedding day, PJ was incredible of course! He captured us getting ready, our first look, all around the venue and really paid so much attention to what we were looking for, like a lot of candid shots and details of the wedding. He made every single person feel at ease and made us all genuinely laugh and smile all day. I heard so much positive rave reviews of his humor and professionalism from that day. Our photos came back so quick and I truly appreciate PJ again; as always for his prompt communication. I never had to guess about anything, the estimated dates were provided and he kept true to his word. We had 8 hours for a small 50 person wedding and in addition to purchasing regular prints, also ordered the coffee table style beautiful book. I hope we can hire PJ for many more milestones. He is truly a photography master and such a delight to work with! He deserves all the awards! There are so many beautiful pictures that I love looking back to ☺️ -

Dan Z. Sent on 01/13/2024Top Quality, Amazing Service, & Featured on a Magazine
As a student of photography, I vetted a dozen photographers and am grateful to have found P.J. & Fits and Stops. He's got more than just an eye and experience. He's an excellent communicator, and above all, his empathy for the couple manifests itself in not just great photos and memories, but in a personal investment in seeing the special day is indeed special. P.J. is a visionary. He took time to study who was important to us and why. He also created scenes in the cockpit of a Boeing and even outside in the turbine (not spinning of course), photos that were eventually featured in the Real Wedding magazine - a completely unexpected result of his creativity. His work speaks for itself, and more than a thousand words, his photos are worth the weight in love. If you're looking for thee photographer, you've found your guy. -

Laura Sent on 07/27/2023Stunning San Francisco Photos
PJ was incredible on our wedding day and the months leading up to it. He drove from Sacramento to take our jaw dropping engagement photos at the Golden Gate Bridge and for our wedding day at the University Club San Francisco. He was easy to reach during the planning process, quick to help plan wedding day timelines and to give his opinion on logistics. He is very easy going and adaptable. PJ was able to make quick decisions if our plans needed to change for reasons like the fog was rolling in, or a street was too busy with cars. He’s creative, and can quickly identify a great opportunity, which leads to stunning photos. He’s personable and likable and makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. PJ is quick to jump in to give direction and did a fantastic job working with my wedding planner, videographer, and my MOH to keep us on track my whole wedding day. The best part was how quickly he got our wedding photos back! We had the finished photos by the next week! And he is currently working on our beautiful complimentary album. Thank you for everything PJ!

On what could potentially be a stressful day, PJ was just a joy to work with. So fun, outgoing and VERY professional. He went above and beyond (noticed everything.. like telling people to take sunglasses off, missing bouquets, even grabbed drinks for my husband and I). He was never a source of any stress. He was so on top of it and very patient with my delayed responses. He sent me a detailed schedule that I could send to family so that everyone would be in the right place at the right time. And then of course, his pictures were BEAUTIFUL. I was simply blown away. Cannot recommend him enough! -

Fun and Professional, everyone loved PJ!
PJ accompanied by Courtland, did an incredible job capturing the smallest details of the wedding, as well as the biggest moments. Nothing felt overly staged or formal, it was pure candid talent. The day went by so fast and it can be hard to recall everything, but with these incredible photos, we’ll have these memories forever to recall and cherish. PJ is so kind, easygoing, and fun to work with. He turned the photos around so quickly with incredible editing. I would highly recommend PJ, I am so glad we chose him to capture our wedding. -

Denise Sent on 03/09/2023Great experience!
We worked with PJ as the photographer for our wedding & reception and had such a great experience from moment one to the very end. For starters, he called me the day after I submitted a request to him. After submitting so many online requests for various vendors, and receiving either no response, or responses days to weeks later, it was so refreshing to have a vendor call me and have a great conversation. He was a dream to work with throughout the process-quick to respond, great ideas when I'd ask for input, worked well with our other vendors. Other than our posed photos I don't think I saw him all night, but many of my guests told me afterwards he was everywhere, ducking and leaning to get the perfect shot! Needless to say he has great attention to detail and our pictures came out amazing. His work speaks for itself- amazing, beautiful, but I think hiring the person is just as important, and he's such a calm, polite, funny person to work with. Besides his photos, the thing I loved the most is the details he keeps on his couples and their personal stories. The stories he tells of each couple on his social media pages, accompanied by their pictures, is so beautiful. It really made me feel like he was personally invested in us, as a couple, and I really appreciated that. We can't recommend PJ enough! -

Tony Sent on 10/16/2022Worry-free wedding photos that are amazing, professional, and fast!
PJ made us feel at ease from the very beginning, from the questionnaire that allowed us to communicate what we wanted (but maybe weren't sure how to verbalize), to the big day, when everything was taken care of by him and his assistant. They captured a great mix of posed and candid shots of us, our wedding party, guests, and the venue itself. There were many times throughout the evening where we totally forgot they were even there, all the while they were capturing the wonderful evening beautifully. Not only were the photos just what we had hoped for and more, but the digital versions were done in only 17 days! I've heard horror stories of couples waiting several months for their photos, so we were pleasantly surprised when ours were ready so quickly. -

I just got married on June 4th 2022 and PJ went out of his way to make sure every moment was captured. He was very flexible to my wedding timeline which changed drastically when I had a medical emergency two days before the wedding ( and i DIY my whole wedding). He truly made my day special. Our photos turned out awesome and they came back so much faster than we expected. We got tons of complements on his professionalism after our day. Pj also was able to capture my favorite moment, which is my husband shirtless in the bathroom writing his vows right before our wedding! haha -

Wedding planning is incredible stressful, but hiring Fit and Stops for my wedding reception was hands down one of the best and easiest decisions I made during that process.
We contacted PJ after reading all his glowing reviews, and he did not disappoint! PJ is incredibly professional, punctual, and has an amazing ability to put you at ease during stressful times. He is easy to work with, even when we were running late to our event. Even my guests were raving about PJ the next day!
PJ's attention to detail is second to none and I would rate him 10 out of 5 stars if I could! -

We found P.J. after doing a Google search for wedding photographers. Right off the bat we loved what we saw on his website, not only his photographs but his bio as well. We reached out and the communication leading up the the big day was punctual, open and positive. P.J. was a real PRO on the wedding day. He picked a beautiful spot for the pictures (we're both new to the area so that was really helpful), directed everyone effortlessly and had our guests Laughing Out Loud! We were asked multiple times during the day who recommended him. We just replied that he was a God send. Our pictures came back sooner than the two weeks which was expected. We were worried because we had a make up issue and thought the pictures would be ruined but P.J. worked his magic and salvaged them. We are very grateful to have worked with him, he captured those precious moments beautifully! -

Pj is absolutely amazing and we feel so lucky to have had him for our big day!
We started our journey with PJ in 2019 after our engagement in April of that year; I was fortunate enough to find him through a Facebook add where he was offering a free engagement session if we met with him to discuss our wedding. My husband and I were immediately comfortable and had a great meeting before scheduling our engagement session!
Our engagement session was seriously amazing, PJ did such a fantastic job at making us comfortable even when it came to posing! When we got our photos back (in 4 days by the way which was so fast!!!) we were in love with them and knew we had to book PJ for our big day!!
COVID threw us for a loop but PJ rolled with the punches and worked with us to reschedule to a new date!
When our wedding day finally came - 11/19/21 - Pj and Christina showed up and did such an amazing job! We were running behind and I was definitely stressed but PJ and Christina made everything happened and consistently assured me we were doing okay on time!! They were such an amazing presence during our day and made the day better! We got our sneak peeks back and are so incredibly in love with them and excited to see everything when its finished.
All in all we cannot recommend PJ enough to everyone!! Seriously amazing, if we had to do it again we would choose him over and over and we will definitely be using him for our future photography endeavors! -

Most. Amazing. Ever.
My husband and I used PJ for both our engagement and wedding photos. Not only was he professional and responsive to all emails, inquiries and questions, he was friendly and funny to make the days fun. PJ really has an eye for making our day special and creating a story through photos to remember the day. I'm so glad we now have those photos to cherish forever. Would highly recommend PJ and his team for anything photo related! A big plus for us, PJ is bilingual too! -

P.J. was responsive, clear, and thorough with his services and pricing from the get go. My husband and I used Fits & Stops Photography for our mini backyard wedding. P.J. was right on time, and was extremely personable with all our guests. Needless to say, we are extremely happy with how the photos turned out. Definitely would recommend this business! -

Alina Sent on 03/23/2021Trust me, you’ll love your wedding photos with P.J.
P.J. was very flexible not only with our time, but as well with the price. We had our wedding ceremony very late and after waiting for us, he was always in an amazing mood, ready and excited to start our newlyweds photo session. He actually started our photo session, unknowingly, from when we arrived until we left, creating a story line of our wedding ceremony. P.J.’s style is glamorous with bright colors and elegant black and whites. Looking at our photos, was like living those beautiful unic moments once again! -

PJ photographed our engagement and our small, intimate wedding. He is incredibly easy to work with and makes you feel at ease almost instantly. I knew upon booking him for both events, that he was the right fit. He has a passion and an eye for capturing the best moments. He did an amazing job on both our engagement and wedding photographs. He is honest, genuine, and thoughtful in his work. I would highly recommend him as a photographer. I plan to do so in the future for life's momentous occasions. We could not have asked for a better photographer and even gained a new friend. Thank you PJ!

We love PJ, and have loved getting to know him through our wedding planning process. We now consider him a friend!
When we initially started interviewing photographers, my now-husband fell in love with PJ's personality and style almost instantly (I wish I could say that is how he fell in love with me....).PJ shoots with natural lighting so beautifully and upon speaking with him over the phone...we knew he was the right fit for us.
We first met PJ in person when we did our engagement shoot in September 2019. He instantly made us feel comfortable and at ease. Our photos turned our natural and were beautifully captured. He seamlessly captured our go-with-the-flow and goofy natures, love of donuts, and love of our East Bay neighborhood.
Flash forward a few months....and a worldwide pandemic hits. PJ has been such a grounding force during these last few months as we changed our wedding plans again and again. PJ has been nothing but patient and accommodating for us. We finally decided on a micro-wedding in a private residence. Not going to lie, I was nervous that our photos were going to look meh-meh since our "venue" wasn't fancy. When we got our photos back, I was awe-struck. PJ really worked his magic and made everything look like it came out of a fairytale.
Post-ceremony, we arranged for a golden hour newlywed shoot. Let me tell you, PJ will do ANYTHING for the shot. We climbed hills, rocks, and got into bushes. PJ is dedicated to his craft.
We can't wait for PJ to come back out to shoot our postponed reception and our future family photos. We feel pretty lucky that we found a photographer we truly love and can't wait to continue to work with. -

Lynn Sent on 09/29/2020PJ is amazing human being & photographer
My husband and I met up PJ before covid to discuss engagement and wedding photos. We liked him and appreciate his help. His service fee was more reasonable than others especially ones with a budget.
We did our engagement photos and love them! He made my husband a model! He hates the camera.
As a covid bride, you can imagine all the different changes. I think I emailed PJ 5 different plans and he went with it. He helped so much to make sure my wedding would run as smoothly as possible. He send us our wedding photos less than a week and half after our wedding. His work was phenomenal and beautiful. I was speechless. I am so glad we chose him as our photographer. I can’t wait to have him as our photographer for our 1 year. -

Hayley Sent on 07/08/2020PJ was great
We lost our wedding photographer SIX DAYS before the wedding. I sent mass emails out and PJ called me back in less than an hour. He was professional, kind, and made me feel at ease about our less than ideal situation. He had a thorough document for us to complete so he would be prepared on the big day. At the wedding, we got more of the same great PJ! He gave me a short tutorial on how to pose well for photos. He paid careful attention to lighting, background details, men's poses/pockets, etc. On top of that, he had me laughing all day with his jokes. At times there was chaos (at any wedding I'm sure) but one thing that was amazing - PJ had memorized almost everyone's names from the document I provided! Very impressive. I just got our photos back and I'm beyond happy. There are quite a few I know I will treasure for a lifetime. I would 100% hire PJ again and recommend him as a professional photographer. -

Margaret Sent on 06/07/2020None better than Fit & Stops Photography!
P.J., the owner and lead photographer for Fits & Stops Photography, is an absolute joy to work with. We sat down for coffee prior to booking and my fiancé and I knew from that moment we'd found our wedding photographer. Everything was a great fit for us, from personality to shooting style. As a semi-professional photographer myself, it was easy to understand the technical side while still appreciating the artistic flare. Scheduling our engagement shoot was a breeze and we had a blast shooting out in Folsom. P.J. was very friendly and communicative during the whole process and allowed us as a couple to really take charge during our shoot. It was easy to share shot ideas and get those angles executed. P.J., however, saw more angles and captured those beautifully all at the same time. He made us feel comfortable, relaxed, and natural in front of the camera! We got our engagement photos back in just a few short business days as opposed to waiting weeks like we were quoted with other vendors. Unfortunately, we had to cancel our wedding and we couldn't keep P.J. and his wife, Erica the second photographer. Had our wedding actually happened, I know in my heart we would have had the same powerful experience as we did during the engagement shoot. You won't regret booking P.J. as your photographer, no matter the occasion! I sincerely cannot wait for our paths to cross again at some point in the future. Thanks, P.J. for your amazing, dedicated, and talented work!! -

Kathryne Sent on 06/04/2020Absolutely perfect!
Let me start by saying that my husband and I are not picture people - we are introverted people and the idea of a bunch of staged photos at say, I don't know, our own wedding was very intimidating. But, wanting to document the fact that we were, in fact, young-ish at one time, we began researching to find the perfect person for the job. Most photographers I contacted were impersonal to say the least. I was swarmed with form letters, price sheets, and surprisingly-short-closing-windows-of-opportunity-act-now-or-lose-your-date letters. Then I found PJ.
Instantly, communicating with him was warm and personal, but not at all invasive or pushy. He was willing to work with us about our specific, individualized needs and customize a package for us. I instantly got the feeling that he was as excited about our wedding as we were! We booked him for May 30, 2020 and...then Coronavirus happened. We were shredded. Initially, it looked like things might open up and we could hold the wedding regardless, but, alas, it was not meant to be.
We ended up holding a ceremony, regardless, with just over a dozen of our closest friends and family at our home. PJ stayed in constant - but, again, not pushy - contact as we all went through the pandemic together. Again, he was so flexible and was willing to work with us to put together a smaller package, using some of the time we had booked for our full wedding.
On the day of, PJ was enthusiastic, energetic, and a lot of fun to work with. AND THEN! (not kidding), it started to rain. Last minute, we had to drag our ceremony from the outdoors to inside the (fully functioning for horses) barn. We were not prepared to host in there and it was not at all decorated for such an event. Nonetheless, it was very special for us and PJ captured the day in all of its slapdash, haphazard, midst-of-a-pandemic glory. The photographs are exactly what we wanted and these two introverts were very comfortable working with him.
And did I mention that we even threw taking pictures with horses at him? He was amazing.
A very special thank you to PJ for being a sincere pleasure and joy to work with. Guys like these are hard to find these days - book him now! -

Jaslyn Sent on 05/27/2020We couldn't have asked for a better photographer!
We are so glad we found P.J. from Fits and Stops Photography. From the early planning stages, he was attuned to our needs and photographic wishes. Prior to booking him for the wedding, we did an engagement photo session with him. We were very happy with his professionalism, creativity, and fun personality. He had the photos to us quickly and we were so happy with his work that we booked him for our wedding. He created a custom wedding photo package tailored to our photography needs.
We planned a relatively small wedding at a family’s vineyard, but then the global pandemic happened. The months and weeks leading up to our wedding P.J. was incredibly flexible, understanding, and accommodating. As our plans continued to change weekly and then daily, P.J. remained positive and supportive. Because of the pandemic, we had so many stressors and challenges, but P.J. was never one of them. We knew no matter what we still wanted to be married on our original date and even if no one could attend, we wanted P.J. there to take photos.
Literally days before our wedding, we finalized a plan to do an elopement ceremony deep in the forest. It required a long drive to the mountains, a bumpy ride on a dirt road, a hike into the woods, and a short climb to a rocky overlook. Not exactly what P.J. thought he was getting into when we booked him for a vineyard wedding months ago, but he was 100% on board with our new plan and so excited for us. It meant a lot to us to have all his positive energy and enthusiasm with us on our wedding day.
Though our wedding did not go as we thought it would when we planned it many months ago, our wedding was beautiful and P.J. did a fantastic job capturing the elopement ceremony. The day after our wedding he sent us a few photos to share with our family and friends sheltering in place around the globe. His photos meant so much to those who were eagerly waiting to gather for our wedding, only to be devastated when we had to alter our plans. Many people commented they felt they were right there with us as they looked through P.J.’s photos. We couldn’t be happier with our photos and our experience working with P.J.
We look forward to the day when we can all gather safely in celebration and we hope we can have P.J. there to capture all those special moments with our family and friends. -

Christina Sent on 12/17/2019Amazing experience
What can I say about P.J. and his wife Erica? My wife and I had the pleasure of having P.J. as a photographer for both our engagement and wedding sessions. We have little to no experience with photography or what to look for, making the search for a photographer stressful. I found P.J. through a friend and got the opportunity to chat with him through web cam. Immediately, I could tell that he was such an easy going, knowledgeable, and passionate person about photography. Even more so than the skills of a photographer are the vibe and good relationship you have with them, and P.J. and Erica make you feel completely at ease and build a trusting friendship with you.
At our engagement photoshoot, my wife and I had no idea what to expect and felt pretty uncomfortable immediately, but P.J. always helped us feel comfortable and natural while taking pictures, letting us know what poses to make, never making us feel rushed, and prioritizing having a good, memorable time rather than simply the outcome of the photo itself. We could not have asked for a more enjoyable session.
At our wedding we were blown away at P.J and Erica’s professionalism and ability to navigate all our friends and family, including the children during the group photos. It is not easy to mobilize groups and keep everyone calm and happy, but P.J. and Erica’s calm nature and positive attitudes helped everyone feel comfortable and an enjoyable atmosphere.
We honestly could not have asked for a better photography team for our wedding. Not only did our photos come out amazing, but we developed a new friendship. If you are looking for great quality photos for whatever occasion, an easy going team that prioritizes your relationship and friendship, and great professionalism, then I would highly recommend P.J. and Erica.

Breathtaking pictures and amazing service
Going into planning our wedding, our top priority was getting amazing pictures to perfectly capture our special day. I’ll admit we had high expectations when it came to our photographers and were hopeful Fits and Stops Photography would deliver. P.J. and Erica went so far above and beyond our highest of expectations. To start with, they are both extremely kind, thoughtful and professional. They automatically put you at ease on what can be a stressful and nerve wrecking day. They were extremely flexible and adaptive to the many different environments, changes in timeframe, a sick groom and even a couple dogs! Us girls were of course running late, and Fits and Stops Photography quickly adjusted the timeline and were extremely considerate of my husband who was sick. During our newlywed pictures it started raining, which seriously concerned me at the time. However, when the rain started P.J. and Erica didn’t fret. Instead, they quickly adapted, calmed my nerves and found a perfect clear umbrella (at lightening speed I might say). All of the pictures were simply breathtaking. They did such an amazing job! Much more than we could have dreamed of. Oh and did I mention, they sent us a link to all of our pictures after a week and a half, before even returning from our honeymoon! I don’t know where else you could find a photographer who delivers quality and service like this. We cannot recommend Fits and Stops Photography enough! -

You're Photographers Await!
PJ and Erica are truly magical beings. My husband hates getting his photo taken, he will actively avoid any and all picture taking scenarios. However, when we met for the first time PJ for our engagement photos the three of us were laughing and goofing off the entire session. PJ put us at ease immediately and worked hard to keep our session a true reflection of us. This continued to our wedding day. PJ was back at it with his jokes and Erica was there making sure we all looked stunning and finding those unique photo opportunities. We plan on having PJ and Erica photograph the rest of our lives, or at least as long as they will have us! You have found your wedding/family photographer! Hire PJ and Erica, you can't go wrong! -

Andrew Sent on 12/15/2018Excellent and Enjoyable
The Fits and Stops photography duo, P.J. and Erica Oswald unite to form a team better than Batman and Catwoman. My now wife and I hired Fits and Stops for our engagement shoot and our whole wedding (including getting ready, door games, ceremony, and reception). In fact, this was not my first experience with them. I first met them when they were photographing my university's graduation ceremony. I was so impressed with their charm and professionalism that I had them at the top of our list for wedding photographers, and I am glad I did. On top of that, they were very responsive to every call/email and were intentionally flexible with our needs and wants in regards to our wedding. They both found incredible shots: some staged, some candid. P.J. especially seemed willing to do anything or go anywhere to get the perfect shot. That is what I expected from professional photographers and that's what I got. But what I appreciated most was not their prodigious skill at picture-taking but their attitudes. I'm not someone who likes taking pictures, but both of them made it easy, enjoyable, and just plain fun. Despite P.J. and Erica being near strangers, there was an ease and simple joy in sharing moments within one of the most pivotal days of our lives with them. In fact, they made our wedding even better. They even provided the pictures back to us ahead of schedule. I recommend anyone to seriously consider Fits and Stops because my wife and I were extremely satisfied with their work, professionalism, and manner. -

My husband and I had PJ and Erica be our photographers for our wedding and we were truly blessed by having them. They both were accommodating and beyond flexible. They surpassed our expectations. Not only were they super easy to work with they never stopped looking for different and unique ways to capture our moment. I would highly encourage anyone looking for photographers to go with them. You won't regret a single moment especially when you see the spectacular photos developed. -

Hannah Sent on 06/22/2018Getting married can be an incredibly stressful task. There’s so much going on, the last thing you want to remember is what poses you were wanting to do or what family members you HAVE to get pictures with (according to your parents). PJ and Erica made that part so simple! They found the best place for our romantic photos at sunset and where to do the first look. They had looked through my Pinterest and knew what poses I wanted (ones that I had completely forgotten) so all I got to focus on was how happy I was to be married to my best friend.
We just got the photos back from our recent wedding and I couldn’t be happier with how beautiful everything turned out! -

Ashley Sent on 09/30/2017PJ is such a pleasure to work with! He’s professional, kind, understanding, personable, and soooooo good at what he does! We first booked him for our engagement photos. The first time my husband and I met him there was a connection! He’s so easy to talk to, and he makes the picturevraking process enjoyable. By the end of the shoot, we felt like we became friends with such a talented photographer who truly cared for us and the photos he captured of us. We knew that day we would ask him to photograph our wedding a year later! For our wedding, he was even better! We had approximately 120 guests, and he managed to capture all the beautiful moments just by himself! He was a photographer ninja! So much energy and talent! All of our guests were amazed with how many moments he captured with being one photographer compared to such a large group of people. He was courteous to our guests, and got to know some of them as well! The pre-planning for the wedding was a breeze. He gave us some questions and reviewed it with us to make sure he didn’t miss anything. I also added a few shots a week before our wedding and he accommodated me with no hesitation! He’s extremely quick with responding, and reasonably priced with the quality of work he does! The best thing was that he finished editing our photos a day shy from a week after our wedding!!! That was important to me because I was slightly impatient/excited to see them! My husband and I are so happy with the photos he captured on our special day. We cannot thank PJ enough! We will always turn to him for future photography needs in our new life together! We love you, PJ!
