Lauren Sent on 11/30/2022Great Experience
Jay and his team were amazing. They respond very quickly and make sure to meet all your wants and needs. I got a couple sneak peaks back about a week after my wedding which was great. I would 10/10 recommend! -

I don’t know where to begin when it comes to describing how thankful my husband and I are to Jay and his team! It was easily the best money we ever spent on our wedding day, and it was worth every single penny. We entrusted him with video, photo, DJ, and photobooth services for our wedding! So we were a bit nervous given how big of a role he had, but gosh did he come through! Not only that but he went above and beyond any of our expectations! And I was a nervous bride!!
My husband and I were super lost after the ceremony; there was way too much going on, it had rained all day up until before the ceremony so our timeline was completely off. And Jay led us into each next step. My husband and I joke around saying he was our northern star! I was so overwhelmed, and even though I had written a really detailed timeline, I could not even think about it or remember anything, so Jay came in clutch and guided us every step of the way! He is much more than just a photographer, he guided us to get good shots, stayed organized and kept us in track when we needed it most to make sure we got our value out of the wedding. He even got people moving on the dance floor and set up line dances, conga lines, and hyped guests up for moments like the sparkler exit. Not only did he helped us get portrait shots, he also organized us, family, wedding party to get candid shots on the dance floor, introductions, and other key moments! He coordinated really well with other vendors to make sure the day would go as seamlessly as possible and got us involved in decision making when needed! He was simply amazing! He took care of what we didn’t even know we needed and that is where his expertise in wedding shines through! Not to mention the dreamy, magazine cover worthy pictures we have already received!
The DJ, Kaleum, was amazing too, he brought a lot of energy to every key moment in the wedding, and kept the dance floor lit! I remember walking in during our introduction and it was the most magical moment looking at everyone hyping us up, the lighting set up perfectly and the music spot on, while the DJ hyped everyone up! It felt like I was walking into the most lit party ever!
Although some guests/wedding party may think he can come off a bit sharp, believe me, that is the quality every wedding needs from a good photographer. I certainly appreciated it so much because I have a hard time speaking up for myself. It is hard to control a large wedding party, ensuring the couple is getting great photos and making the most of time, and having him knowing what needs to be done, and putting his foot down is a MUST. He advocates for the couple and still manages to do so in a very polite manner.
I could write pages about how much I would recommend him! He is simply well worth it and our best investment for our wedding! If you are looking for a solid, amazing photographer and videographer and a vendor that will make your day less stressful, and have dreamy, amazing shots, you have found it! We also highly recommend bundling his services, as it made everything so much easier and effective! Our wedding day was amazing and I certainly have Jay to thank for that!

Jay was an absolute super star. He kept us on track and on time, and posed us expertly like he's been doing this his entire life. His friendly/upbeat attitude made the experience fun and he cordialness was world class. -

Phenomenal!
Jay was the absolute best to work with. He took our engagement photos and our wedding photos. His work is flawless. When several things went sideways his professionalism led the way and made the whole night come together. I could not more highly recommend his work. We got our initial photos back and were blown away by them. We also got his lighting package for our reception and it brought everything together. We love Jay and will shout it from the rooftops. -

Absolutely amazing
I don’t think we could’ve found anyone better than Jay Grubb. He was very polite and respectful with an amazing sense of humor and he was very passionate about giving us the perfect experience and he did just that. The pictures were beautiful. -

Jay is so professional and does amazing work ! I highly recommend! He captured the best images and we didn’t have the most favorable weather conditions. One of the best wedding planning decisions I made was hiring Jay Grubb -

Steve T. Sent on 11/29/2022Awesome - 5+ Stars
Jay is awesome! Very professional and very patient. We had a small vow renewal ceremony that Jay shot for us. Some of our immediate family can be, let’s just say,…..difficult and challenging. With a smile on his face and the patience of a saint, Jay brilliantly corralled the necessary persons and captured them in their best look. Lots and lots of beautiful shots of the ceremony itself that help tell our story. -

Tamela T. Sent on 12/01/2022Jay was wonderful to work with on our special day
My husband and I renewed our vows at the Lightner Museum in St Augustine. Jay photographed our ceremony. Jay is so warm and welcoming that it made the process so easy. We are very camera shy, but he was so patient with us. He has awesome ideas of how to best capture the day. He did a wonderful job working with our family to get the best shots. I can’t wait to see our photos!!! I highly recommend him for any of your photography needs. -

Fantastic!
We hired Jay for our wedding and from the beginning he was absolutely fantastic. He was always great about texting me back in a timely manner and answering all of my questions. I was quite nervous about hiring someone I had never met that lived hours away from us but I’m really happy we went with him. They showed up before they were supposed to be there to make sure they were set up and also Jay had lots of tips for a bride who had obviously never been married before. He also made sure we got all the pictures we had wanted but also surprised us with some pictures we had no clue he took. I didn’t come from a very lovey dovey family so being so close and personal with my parents was a little awkward but Jay would always mention something to kind of get us closer and get better pictures. He definitely knew what he was doing and led his team pretty well. The 3 guys that came with him were awesome too! We are still waiting on the rest of our pictures so once we receive them we’ll leave another review but we received our video and teasers super quick! Thanks Jay! -

Kassidy E. Sent on 02/24/2023Amazing wedding vendors!!! Highly recommend
Our investment with Jay was well worth it! I booked Jay's company for both photography and videography. My wedding involved three different locations: a hotel for getting ready, a church-based wedding ceremony, and the Lake Mary Event Center for the reception. Jay was extremely flexible with us and navigated through each location seamlessly. He was able to find great photo locations in each venue. The getting ready portion of my wedding was very stressful, however, Jay and his team had a reassuring presence and took initiative in solving any problems that arose. They helped me enjoy my wedding day without all of the stress! I highly recommend them for any wedding or event.
We also had our engagement photo shoot with Jay! He was very easy to talk to and made us feel comfortable for the session. Our photos came out looking amazing! I am very thrilled with our experience. -

Forever Grateful
Magic, what they captured and what they did, just magic above and beyond skill or talent.
Jay Grubb put together and amazing team for my wedding and captured the most beautiful moments, both candid and dramatic that we can cherish forever.
Other than making sure my husband showed up and our vows were exchanged, photos were the next most important thing for me when prioritizing vendors. I must have interviewed some 110 different photographers and videographers. I was looking for a professional team that needed little guidance from me, that I could trust to capture my shot list, all the candid shots of our friends and family, would be there the whole of the event, could manage my husband who doesn't like people in his face at all, herd the cats that were my wedding party (myself included), were kid friendly, and the editing skills for a dramatic effect in lighting and color.
Jay came through with meeting all the above criteria. He had endless patience with me, my wedding party, and my husband. When I had specific requests for shots, he was upfront and candid about what would be required to make the shot, made professional suggestions for alternatives, and just in general was informative and lovely to work with.
I also went all out after speaking with Jay - videography team and a photo booth as well! The videography team was led by Lee, who was an absolute joy to interact with and the smiles and laughter he generated in all of us were just a bonus. Our photo booth was fun, interactive, and Ariana manned the station all night to ensure everyone used it to best effect and got their fun printed out or emailed to their preference.
The teaser photos came almost immediately and the remainder came shortly after. Jay remained in communication with me after the wedding, his website and client portal were a fountain of useful information both before and after the wedding, and all around the whole team was amazing and wonderful to work with. Looking back at the photos, I feel beautiful, I see the love and happiness in everyone's faces. I am so incredibly happy with Jay, Lee, Ariana - the work leading up to the event answering questions, making decisions, the laid back professionalism and fun they brought the day of that made us all relaxed and often full of laughter, it was amazing. And the photos I have now! I tear up looking at them, I didn't think it was possible but they captured the joy and love of the day in such a way you can feel it in the photos, even the photobooth shots. -

Best photographer!!
Can’t praise Jay and his team enough! My wedding day was so perfect and the way he was able to capture the best moments of my day so I will have them forever is so amazing. I can’t thank him enough! He has done many of my family members weddings and is extremely professional and truly goes above and beyond to get exactly what you want. My husband and I have received our teaser pictures back and love them so much! Can’t forget about Connor his lead videographer who also did an amazing job and was very kind! You can truly tell how skilled and experienced Jay is behind the camera the moment you meet him which is what you want when booking a photographer for your wedding day or any big moments! -

Best Decision Ever!
Jay was the best photographer, with a great, kind, fun personality! From the start to end, his work is so well put together and makes the process a joy to work with! He likes to make the pictures come to life and makes each picture full of character, makes you feel comfortable, has ideas and is super creative! We are beyond happy with our pictures and can’t wait to get them all! His videography team was awesome as well, they both made us feel so comfortable. You will enjoy and will not regret to work with them! They are the best! -
