    Great Photography

    Jay from Sororal Twin Studios was excellent to work with. He shot our wedding and our engagemnt photos. He did beautiful work and went out of his way to make sure I felt beautiful in all of our images. He worked with us on our terms as I am someone who does not like having my photo taken. He limited himself to the photos I requested, and moved through family photos quickly and efficiently. The work turned out great, and I am so happy with what we have. The wedding video he cut and the photos he captured during the ceremony and party will allow us to remember the event fondly for years to come.

    Photographer/Videographer

    Jay was truly amazing! We had the pleasure working with him for our engagement shoot and wedding! He truly captured the best moments at our wedding all the while shooting our video! I would HIGHLY recommend Jay for any photo/video needs. He’s attentive, professional, and really aims to capture exactly what the client is looking for. We will definitely be contacting Jay in the future!

    Look no further than Jay!

    Look no further than Jay of Sororal Twin Studios - book him immediately for your wedding day! Jay came highly recommended from friends who got married last year, and it was truly the best recommendation we could ever have received! We hired Jay immediately after their recommendation and are so happy we did. From our engagement photos through the wedding day, Jay was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was communicative, on time, fun to be around, and went ABOVE AND BEYOND to get the most incredible shots of DC, including scaling the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on a crowded April Saturday, knowing how meaningful the monuments are to my now-husband and I! Our wedding party RAVED and continues to rave a week later about how wonderful and stress-free he made our wedding party and family photos on the day of - including expertly managing photos with two toddlers who would have preferred to be napping! :) We could not have asked for a better photographer than Jay and will be recommending him to everyone we know. Thank you, Jay, for making our day so magical!

    Best Wedding Photographer Ever!

    Jay is an incredibly gifted photographer. I first met him when he photographed my sister's wedding 4 years ago, and knew that I would want him to one day photograph my own wedding. On a day when you want to capture every single moment, it's SO important to have a photographer with energy and an eye for detail. Jay was EVERYWHERE on our wedding day. The photos of our ceremony were from every angle, and he did it all inconspicuously. He even popped up all over the dance floor to take pictures without disturbing the dancing. Jay made us feel SO comfortable in front of the camera. Between our engagement photos and our wedding photos, we have so many gorgeous shots to choose from. Our home will have lasting memories on the walls thanks to his beautiful work. Jay is the total package in a photographer. He studies the area, knows when the sun will set, and has an artistic eye... all little details that prove he deeply cares about his clients. His talent shows in every beautifully captured shot. Not only is his work flawless, but he is very reasonably priced for all that he offers. We could not recommend him more!

    Best Decision We Made Was Booking Jay

    Jay was fantastic from start to finish. From the time we first spoke with him we knew he was the perfect person for us. My fiancé is a little shy about getting his picture taken, but Jay made us both feel at ease during our wedding day. And his photos were AMAZING! We love every single one of them. It was the best decision we ever made. Just book him, you’ll be happy you did.

    Jay is Awesome

    Jay is fantastic and easy to work with. His photographs are amazing. He did both our engagement photos as well as our wedding photos and videography. He has the experience and expertise to capture the moments without making your feel posed. Will go above and beyond to make sure that all of the photos you want are captured. He makes sure that you are having fun while capturing the perfect shot. Would highly recommend Jay for all of our photography needs.

    Incredible photographer.

    Cannot recommend highly enough. Jay has dealt with us through many, many iterations of COVID-era wedding planning. He’s now photographed our engagement photos in May 2019, our “official” wedding in August 2020, and will also photograph our full postponed reception in August 2021. At every step of the way, he has been calm, cool, professional, and absolutely incredible at what he does. My now-husband hates taking photos, and Jay made it totally painless! He carries multiple lenses and is an artist with angles, such that we could basically stand in one place and get 10 very different shots :) He has an eye for backdrops and lighting, too, which add a “wow” factor to the photos while still keeping the natural setting (i.e., no unnatural-looking mint green grass!).

    Great photographer! Do not hesitate to use!

    My fiance and I had Jay photograph our wedding in October and he was awesome! He was very professional, prompt, courteous, and friendly. From our initial emails, to the day of the wedding, we felt like we were his only client. We had him do our engagement shoot as well, and both experiences went off great. He always showed up on time, and was even willing to stay a bit later than scheduled in order to get all of the shots we wanted. He has a variety of packages to choose from, and we thought his pricing was very fair. Do not hesitate to use Jay for your event!

    Very professional

    Jay did my engagement shoot and wedding day. He was super professional and knowledgeable. Like most young couples, we had no idea how these photo sessions would work and he told us exactly what to do while making us feel natural and comfortable. He knows Baltimore very well so he took us to the perfect places for our engagement shoot. On the big day he managed large groups of family and friends with ease. I would highly recommend him!

    Jay Moore Photography

    Jay was easy to get along with, and made us feel comfortable. He has also been patient with us in how long it took us to get back to him post wedding with our selections. Would recommend!

    Stellar Wedding Photographer!!

    Jay is a top-notch wedding photographer. We hired him for our November 2018 wedding and I am so happy that we did. He is the epitome of professional and talented. His communication in the months leading up to the wedding was impeccable and I felt like he knew exactly what we were looking for. On the wedding day, our wedding party raved about him and how kind and professional he was the entire day. He seemed to be everywhere at once, but never ever in the way. He was extremely flexible when we had to make some last minute changes due to weather. We got our pictures within several weeks and they are GORGEOUS. Our family is so happy with them and we have received multiple texts even weeks after the wedding commenting on how great our photographer was. Can't go wrong with Jay.

    The reason my wedding was incredible = JAY MOORE

    From the onset, Jay was extremely thorough, patient, efficient. He made us feel extremely comfortable and was very reasonable in his pricing. He does not try to overcharge or nickel and dime you. He produces high-quality images with a creative spirit in mind and certainly accommodates your wishes (We wanted a sparkler picture, and certain poses and he accommodated it all!). I also loved that he helped guide you by giving you a timeline and working with you on it. He was super flexible but also ran the show the day of the wedding and made sure everyone stayed on time without being too overbearing. ALL of my friends and family loved working with Jay and he produced our photos within 14 days of our wedding. He was an absolutely pleasure to work with and hands down I would hire him again for any future event.

    After extensive online search and talking to a few photographers, we chose Jay because of both his work and personality. We would give Jay six stars if we could! He is professional, calm, effective, and more. He worked after hours because he wanted to catch the changing lights in sky. He was persistent until he got the perfect shot for us! Highly recommened.

    You won’t regret working with Jay. He is so easy to work with and the photos are more than we could have imaged! If you work with Jay, your photos will be absolutely stunning. He was great working with our pets for our engagement session (yup, our two precious pups were in our fantastic pictures to make them complete)! On the big day, even our families raved about how great he was to work with. Literally can’t say enough great things about him!

    My now-husband and I found Jay via his positive reviews on this site, so it's only appropriate we leave him a well-deserved positive review of our own so others can make the same smart choice we did! Jay was the first vendor we hired or even met with. Being newbies to the whole wedding planning thing, we were super impressed at how organized and knowledgeable he was upon our initial discussion - and his calm yet confident demeanor, along with the many photos he showed us of his work in similar venues, helped seal the deal. In the months leading up to the wedding, Jay was extremely responsive to any questions and flexible to any alterations. The day of the wedding, he showed up early, was his calming yet fun self during the bridal party and family pictures, and seemed to always be in the right spot to capture all the memories during the ceremony and reception. And his work didn't disappoint in the least! We received the over 2000 photos on a flash drive that we can now share with family and friends or print ourselves (or order through him!) in a timely fashion and with a special surprise gift to boot! We've received tons of compliments on the photos, and I especially appreciate how he used the natural lighting of each space to enhance the shots. We had our bridal party pics outside (in Camden Yards!!), our ceremony pics in front of huge floor-to-ceiling windows, and our reception pics from dusk into night in a room with overhead lighting and orange uplights - and all looked great! Can't recommend him enough!

    I cannot rave ENOUGH about Jay! From the minute we met with him, I knew I wanted him to shoot our wedding pictures. He was so laid back and easy going he just made you feel comfortable. We booked him almost 2 years before our wedding. He kept in touch and helped us pick the perfect location for our engagement shoot. My fiance and I were nervous at first because we'd never had professional pictures taken, especially not in a public park, but Jay immediately got us laughing and joking and feeling at ease. (We still make jokes from that day). When we got our engagement pictures back, I cried because they were so beautiful. We used one for our Save the Dates and everyone raved!
    The day of our wedding, Jay was even more amazing. He came to my bridal suite and he just blended in, making everyone comfortable and at ease. My hair and make up artists both raved about how amazing he was. They both said he was the best photographer he ever worked with. One of my bridesmaids had her son 5 days before my wedding (almost 4 weeks premature) and Jay even took some newborn pictures for her.
    We got married at the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club at sunset and our view was beautiful to begin with, but Jay is a landscape and lighting genius. The pictures he captured of the bridal party both before and after the ceremony and the ceremony itself are award winning! He captured the true spirit of the party at our reception as well. I don't think there is one person or one moment that he missed. Again, when we got our pictures back (which took MAYBE 2 weeks...if it even took that long), my fiance and I both cried! They were absolutely breathtaking and more than I could have dreamed of. I cannot say enough good things about Jay and his work!

    Picking Jay Moore as my wedding photographer is one of the best life (yes, life!) decisions I have ever made. I was extremely indecisive going into the photographer-selection process, so I consulted with a coworker (who is also a photographer)- I gave him the list of the top 5 photographers I was interested in, and he came back shortly and said without a doubt Jay's quality and talent stood among the rest. AND, he was significantly less expensive than some of the others! My now-husband and I were booked for an engagement session, which I considered a BIG trial run for us since he hates taking pictures and we may not be the most photogenic couple. After a few shots at Patterson Park (in Baltimore city), Jay showed us on the screen what he was working with, and HOLY COW the pictures were amazing. I instantly knew I made the right choice. Fast-forward to our wedding day. Jay was prompt, professional, down-to-earth and extremely easy to work with. He seemed to be everywhere on our wedding day, but was never intrusive, which I appreciated. We were excited to get a "sneak peek" the next day, and the photo was absolutely incredible. We received our entire gallery on Saturday and I don't know if I'll ever be able to pick a "favorite" from the day. They are all simply amazing, and perfectly captured the love and fun that was shown on our wedding day. Thanks, Jay, for such a wonderful experience. We would hire you a thousand times over again!

    From the first time we met with Jay we both knew he would be perfect for our wedding. He is laid back, professional and flexible. He made us feel comfortable instantly and always answered emails in a timely manner. The day of the wedding he truly came through! He was patient and fun with all of our family and us. He was always present but never intrusive!!

    Run, don't walk, to book Jay as your wedding photographer. He is the best value out there in terms of artistic talent and professionalism, at a reasonable price. I wanted someone that is actually surprisingly hard to find, and I was fairly picky about it: someone who captures special moments in an artistic but natural way, that still has unerring vision and composition in their photos. Jay is that photographer. I'm literally in awe of how my photos came out; just gorgeous, maximizing the beauty of the venue, the people, the happiness, the flowers, architecture, colors, everything! He was hardworking all day; you can tell he is a perfectionist in a good way. He is also wonderfully professional; always prompt and polite in all his emails and communications and helpful, a genuinely nice guy. He showed up early to our venue, and was very good at directing us as needed, but also going with the flow of the day and using time efficiently. Ours was an indoor venue which sometimes is trickier to photograph; and everything was still spectacular. Book Jay ASAP, you won't regret it!

    When my husband and I first met with Jay we were so impressed by his professionalism and organization! We actually met with several other photographers before Jay and none of them had the amount of experience that he did. More importantly, we did not feel like he was trying to rip us off. The price of wedding photography is INSANE. Jay was so reasonably priced and his work was beautiful. He made everyone feel comfortable on our wedding day and he was very funny as well! He showed up right on time and was not obtrusive during the wedding either. I can honestly say I forget he was even there most of the time! Our pictures are gorgeous. Jay was very, very responsive and answered every single annoying question I had with ease leading up to the wedding. I highly, highly recommend him!

    I cannot recommend Jay enough! I found out about him from a friend who was the MOH at another wedding he photographed. I knew once I saw the pictures from that wedding that he was exactly what my husband and I were looking for. His photographs are of an exceedingly high quality, but he remains affordable for a couple with a smaller than DC-area average budget.

    Before the wedding, my husband and I expressed concerns about our families not being very photogenic and most likely needing A LOT of direction. The day of, he arrived early...even before I got to the venue! He was prepared and very flexible. He did a fantastic job of giving everyone the necessary amount of direction, capturing truly gorgeous shots of everyone. He went above and beyond to get the [Pinterest] shots my husband and I had on our wishlist, while still injecting his own creativity.

    After the wedding, the turn-around for getting to preview our pictures was exceptionally fast. My husband's hair was a little messed up in some of the formal shots, the perfectionist in me couldn't ignore it. Jay was so very generous, taking the time to Photoshop those issues. The final product was a beautiful mix of journalistic and formal photography that everyone just can not stop raving about!

    Many of our other vendors were less than stellar. Jay was the one that my husband, our families, and I have zero complaints about. Thank you, Jay, for exceeding our expectations and making sure that our wedding memories are preserved in the most beautiful way!

    Jay did an incredible job at our wedding. First, he meets with you to discuss all your options and work within your budget. He showed up on time, and managed his time very well with all the last minute changes. He took charge and rounded up all the people that needed to be in the photos and stayed right on schedule, all while maintaining a positive, professional attitude. He captured all the emotion of the day, all at the right moments. And the photos look amazing! Highly recommended!

    As I was searching for a photographer I kept going back to Jay Moore's site because his pictures spoke to me. I called him and set up a face to face. I quickly knew he was the one for us. He explained how the day should go and wrote out the time line for me. I was very impressed and loved the flow. The day of the wedding we had our pictures taken before the ceremony and he made the entire experience fun and relaxing.
    I just recently received the final pictures and flash drive and could not be happier. The flash was even in this cute box with a photo on top. I would highly recommend him.

    Jay was fantastic! Our pictures turned out even better than we ever could have imagined. He made our day that much more special. My husband is not a picture person, and he made him feel so comfortable in front of the camera, had us laughing, and having a good time during our formal pictures. So great to work with and responded to emails/questions quickly. Would highly recommend for all photography needs.

    There is absolutely nothing bad my wife and I can say about Jay. We found him through reviews here on wedding wire and we booked him for an engagement shoot at Centennial Park. Right away we knew he was a perfect fit. Super organized, professional, and has amazing talent. He is very responsive and gets back to you quickly. The pictures came out so well, it was a no-brainer to book him as our wedding photographer. The entire day of, he was incredible. Our pictures are some of the best I have ever seen, he never missed a moment and we owe a lifetime of looking at beautiful memories to him. And believe me, we didnt have the easiest group to photograph but he made everyone get involved and have a great time, and it shows in the final results. Compared to other photographers his price is second to none. I guarantee you will pay for quality that is better than some of these companies charging 2-3 times as much. Stop looking, call Jay, and hope he isn't booked already for your day!

    First and foremost, Jay is an amazing photographer. He knows how to make you feel comfortable even when you've never done this before. He shot our engagement photos and wedding day photos, and I am positive that they could not have been any better. Jay knew exactly where to put us and how to talk to us to get the exact shot we were looking for, and we didn't even have to ask. He was extremely communicative and very prompt with emails he made us feel like we were very important.
    For our engagement shoot we had our dog in it for half of it and in the end I think my dog is ready for a show. Jay knew exactly how to work with him and we now have our "family" photo for our Christmas card. Jay also came with us to our wedding venue a month before the big day to make sure he knew exactly where to put us and asked very detailed and important questions. He truly put in time and effort to make sure our day would be perfect.
    Now seeing the shots that came from that day I don't think I have ever felt more beautiful. Not only did the posed shots (which were beyond amazing) come out fantastic, but he found the exact times to catch the candids with my husband and I, and all of our family and friends. I recommend Jay for all of your wedding-related photo shoots. He is a true professional with a lot of talent.

    We came upon Jay's work looking this very site. The quality and artistic nature of his pictures both inside and outside far surpassed anything else we had seen. Further when we asked him for a set of pictures form a wedding he had done and he happen to send through a set from a photographer friend of ours who could not stop raving about Jay's amazing work. A photographer recommending a photographer what could be better!

    Jay far exceed our expectations from our first conversation through and wedding day and beyond. Our engagement photos were breathtaking and our wedding even better. He was also more then willing to deal with our myriad of requests and be flexible when stuff changed around with our venue. He was reasonably priced and product superior product! I would recommend Jay to anyone!

    I used Jay Moore Photography for my recent October wedding and loved him. We began working with Jay a year prior to the wedding when he did our engagement photo shoot. He gave us a lot of direction (and we needed it!) and we got some fantastic pictures.
    After interviewing several other photographers, I knew Jay was ‘the one’ when we met with him and he had an organized agenda for the meeting. Every other photographer kind of let us lead the meeting and we did not know what we were doing but Jay was incredibly prepared and organized. That was exactly what I needed for my wedding day.
    Jay was an absolute pleasure to work with! On the big day, he was on time (even early to avoid marathon traffic) and dressed professionally. He gives clear directions and keeps everyone on schedule. I truly do not remember seeing him most of the night because he did his work discreetly and got great shots. When we got our pictures afterwards, they were beautiful. He captured everything we wanted and the candid photographs were just perfect. We were very pleased with Jay’s work and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer!

    Jay took beautiful pictures of our wedding, we got so many compliments on our photos. Jay was very responsive to all my questions, was flexible in meeting with me for both our initial meeting and our walk through as I live out of state, and had great ideas. He works in a journalistic style and our photos definitely told a story.

    Jay was very nice to work with on the day of, keeping up his energy level and friendliness through the long day. He worked with an assistant and we got some great photos with some fun angles by having both there. I even had Jay shoot the after party, again more fun shots.

    We received our pictures within a few weeks of our wedding, right when he said they would be ready. I love that we receive all photos taken on discs, enabling us to create our own photo books.

    My only caution would be if there is a specific portion of your day you would like photographed, to be very explicit. I did not specify very explicitly I wanted photos of many different Guests at the cocktail hour, and I didn't receive any photos of this portion of the day. I do not believe this was completely under Jay's control - there were some parking challenges at our reception venue and he correctly prioritized getting our photos as quickly as possible arriving to the reception over the cocktail Guests. But that is a gap in our portfolio - thankfully our videographer filled this gap. But I would not consider this a caution against hiring Jay.

    Jay was also very reasonably priced for the high quality of photos we received. Take advantage of his services before he realizes he is undercharging;-)!

    Excellent Photographer - Worth Every Penny!

    My husband and I hired Jay to photograph our wedding on October 26, 2013 after talking with many other photographers and doing an extensive amount of research and reading lots and lots of reviews (we are both lawyers so we make sure we have all the information before making a decision :). What sold me about Jay was his professionalism, his responsiveness to our questions and requests and the personal referrals from two of my friends that we received before hiring him. They raved about his ability to take very high quality photos as well as his easy going personality and organized approach to their wedding day. Jay was also very affordable and fit perfectly into our budget. We got a very high quality photographer for an affordable price! Jay's mixed style of journalistic (candid) photography as well as formal photographic techniques was exactly what we wanted for our big day.

    My husband and I were so glad that we hired Jay! In the weeks leading up to the wedding Jay was excellent about responding to my emails and calls with questions. He was willing to go above and beyond to capture the images that I wanted - the photography was the most important aspect of the wedding planning for me and I had many requests for him. I had no doubt I was in good hands with Jay. On the day of the wedding he arrived on time and captured some absolutely stunning photos during the entire day. I can't imagine having had anyone else photograph our wedding. I am beyond thankful for his creativity and the images that he captured of our special day. Thank you Jay for making our wedding memories truly special!! I would recommend Jay's services, without hesitation, to any bride who wants wonderful pictures and a great experience without having to pay over-the-top prices for it!

    Jay was WONDERFUL from the start! Prior to the wedding, I lived/worked in Philadelphia and my fiancé lived in Annapolis, so my time in MD was limited. Jay worked around my schedule and was always available to discuss planning on the phone, by email and in person. This was a second wedding for me and my fiancé. We were both widowed several years ago. We chose to have a traditional formal wedding, but we are not the typical 20-30 something couple and our "must have" pictures consisted of our grown children and their children, rather than the parents of the bride/groom, etc. On the day of the wedding, Jay arrived early and was ready to shoot as soon as I was and didn't stop working all day! I was impressed with how quickly, efficiently and painlessly Jay got all of the pictures of everyone we specified that we wanted. We never really knew Jay was there, but he WAS everywhere and captured everything!! Jay was so easy to work with. The day after the wedding, he sent us a "sneak peak" of our photos by email!! What a surprise and a bonus!! He's a consummate professional and I would very highly recommend Jay!! Thanks Jay!!!!!

    I couldn't wait to write a review about Jay! He was amazing with every step of our photography. He photographed our engagement session and our wedding from getting ready to the very end of the night. He was patient the entire day, he never missed a beat. Many of our guests commented on how attentive he was to everything going on. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer!!

    This review is embarrassingly overdue, but nonetheless, Jay Moore is a brilliant photographer. He captured our day like no other. He was creative, fun, and extremely easy to work with. He had a 'sneak peak' photo about 8 hours after the wedding was over, which was SO exciting! The pictures were done in less than 2 weeks, and he sent us three sets of the photos on CDs, all rights being ours. My only regret was that we didn't keep him until the very end of the wedding (we had an 8 hour package...from 1-9, our wedding ended at 11). I assumed that we wouldn't need pics after all the wedding traditionals were over (cake cutting, first dances, etc) but after seeing the photos he did take of the fun dancing, I know they would have been great. I'd recommend Jay Moore to anyone looking for an artsy, easygoing, passionate photographer, and plan on using him again should we do family portraits in the future.

    Jay is very easy going and comfortable to work with. We used Jay for both our engagement session and wedding ceremony. The pictures were great, and his style very creative and original. He specializes in photo journalistic pictures, which is what we were most interested in instead of tons of posed shots. We got tons of compliments on our engagement pictures, and I am confident we will be happy with our wedding shots when we see them. We wanted to incorporate our golden retriever in a few of our wedding and engagement shots and Jay was very patient and open minded about it. We also had several children in our bridal party and he was patient when working with them too. We probably interviewed more photographers than any other vendor, and chose Jay based on his value, as well as his style. I am very pleased with our choice!

    Finding a wedding photographer was one of the most stressful parts of wedding planning for me. I have high expectations when it comes to art of any kind since I have a background in it. My husband and I originally were planning on using another photographer and last minute, I found Jay and asked to meet him. Jay has impressed us in so many ways. Not only is his portfolio impressive but his personality was a match for us. The previous photographer we selected had a "nice" portfolio but I didn't feel like we connected. Jay was organized, quick to respond, professional, and most importantly, made us feel comfortable on our big day. I am so happy with our choice in switching to Jay.

    I really appreciated how Jay included sample images I gave him prior and captured them but still made them unique. I was worried about the weather since a storm was in the forecast and Jay captured the most amazing dramatic outdoor scenes. I also liked how prior to posting any images on his blog or website, he gave me a heads-up and told me which images would be posted. I never had any complaints but it was nice to know that I would know prior to everyone else.

    The day after our wedding I woke up to a sneak peek email which was perfect because we had a family brunch and I was able to show my family. Everyone who has seen our wedding photographs has complimented how amazing they are. I love how Jay captured our day and would recommend him to anyone!

    Jay was organized, helpful, and flexible. At our first appointment, he asked some questions about our plans so far and picked up on the vibe of our wedding very quickly. He gives you options and suggestions but he is open to anything you want to do. We told him our basic plan, which included getting-ready, ceremony, formal, and reception photos. At our next appointment, he helped me make a detailed time frame of exactly how it would flow. He responded very quickly to all of my emails and fully answered all questions. On wedding day, he was on time and knew exactly what he was doing. He told us how to pose, where to go, etc. and when we asked for specific pictures, he gladly did those also. I never saw him take a break during the reception - it seemed like he was everywhere all the time! He definitely knows what he is doing and I will use him in future!

They say you get what you pay for, well with Jay Moore Photography that is an understatement!! He is just an amazing photographer with a really unique and awesome way of capturing little details and the right light and the perfect moment. We have already referred him to a friend getting married later this year.

    Jay was such a pleasure to work with - we used him for both our engagement and wedding photos. He had both sets of photos back to us for review within 2 weeks. I was very impressed with the number of photos he provided for each session as well as his prompt response to emails.

    We were married on May 21, 2011 at Stoney's in Broomes Island, MD. We were convinced that Jay Moore was our photographer from the moment we met with him- he has a warm personality and really aims to find out what you envision for your wedding plus he has a strong understanding of the art of photography. Throughout the wedding planning process, Jay was very responsive and professional via email and phone conversations. He also sent over a spreadsheet where we could fill out what pictures we wanted to have taken on the day of the wedding- we were able to fill in names, location, etc. and he took care of the rest. On the day of the wedding, Jay showed up prepared and browsed the venue ahead of us to find the places to take pictures. He kept track of the pictures we wanted, and also made sure to pull us away for the sunset pictures we requested. Jay Moore is highly recommended! I, honestly, cannot say enough nice things about Jay and we look forward to utilizing his skill and expertise in future occasions.

    We married on 9-10-11 at the Governor Calvert House in Annapolis and Jay was there to capture every part of our special day. We started working with him back in April 2011 for our engagement pictures. He kindly agreed to travel down to DC (from Baltimore) during the week to capture our images on the Washington Mall. He did an awesome job at capturing the beautiful weather, amazing architecture, memorable monuments and our smiles. On our wedding day he again captured the character and beauty of our venue and picture locations. We shot on the State Capitol Hill and he was great with helping find good locations for shots. He also got so many images of our friends and family having a blast and most importantly he caught the love that my husband and I share together. Finally, he was extremely professional, prompt and very understanding, so easy to work with and easygoing to all my requests (I am an uptight type A personality lol). I would definitely recommend him to anyone. Thanks Jay!

    We enjoyed working with Jay. He was responsive to our requests from day one through our album process and took amazing photos that we will cherish forever. Jay worked hard and captured some wonderful moments.

    I can only say to hire Jay for your wedding. Over and beyond what we expected.

    I'm an advanced photographer and I have many friend who could have done the photography for our wedding but we were afraid that if they made a mistake then we would no longer be friends. I choose Jay because of his photo style. I simply loved the type of photos that he took. Similar to mine but he is much better with portraits. We interview Jay and a couple of other photographers and we felt the most comfortable with Jay.

    Jay had his hands full at out wedding. We had a Happy-Hour before the ceremony and this made photographing my family very interesting after the ceremony. Let's just say the attention spand of family members was limited. Jay took control and he was able to get every shot we wanted. Jay basically opened my eyes to what you can do with portrait photography.

    The best compliment I can give Jay is that everybody who has seen our wedding album has said that it is the best wedding album that they have ever seen.

    Jay, thank you for making me happy but also especially making my wife happy!

    I genuinely can't say enough positive things about Jay. He was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the entire process. He was organized, gave thoughtful suggestions, and was more than willing to accommodate all of our requests.

    On the day of the wedding, Jay was amazingly professional and patient with our enormous and hard-to-organize family. His photography was the perfect combination of the formal wedding standards and candid, unique shots. He has a fantastic eye for those one-of-a-kind shots.

    I would hire Jay again in a heartbeat and I can't recommend him highly enough. A true professional in every aspect.

    Hire him!!! Jay is absolutely fantastic and one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. His work is impeccable, artistic, and captured our day in the most perfect way!! We were interested in working with Jay after we first met him, as he is extremely likable and makes you feel comfortable immediately. Another great decision was setting up an engagement shoot, as we were able to build a relationship with Jay before the wedding itself. As a result of our initial shoot, there was no awkwardness to speak of on the big day. We were not interested in a photographer that was "in our faces" the entire night, and while Jay captured every fantastic moment of our big day, he did so without our knowledge of his presence. JWe could not be happier with the end result and we HIGHLY recommend working with Jay!!!

    Jay provided the photography for our wedding in November 2010. After spending hours looking at the portfolios of different photographers, we decided to meet with Jay and discuss our needs and wants for our upcoming wedding. Instantly after meeting Jay, we knew without a doubt that we wanted him as our wedding photographer. Jay is professional, reliable, energetic, and enjoyable to work with. Jay captured the emotion of our wedding day with his photos and we couldn't have been more pleased.

    I have yet to see Jay's photos but I know without a doubt that they will be wonderful. I know this because he tolerated all of my questions about cameras throughout the day and often showed me pictures just after he took them. Jay was all over the place without being in the way. I knew he was taking pictures at the ceremony because I could hear his camera but he wasn't all "up in our faces" which I totally appreciated. He was the same at the reception. He was taking pictures without being intrusive to the authenticity of the event. Jay integrated himself into our party so well. I would highly recommend him to any one looking for a wedding photographer who wants to be able to enjoy the day and not stress about making sure someone gets the right shot.

    One of the best decisions I could have made for my wedding! Our pictures were amazing and back to us quickly. He captured the best moments of the wedding and most of my favorite pictures are the ones he got when we thought no one was looking. He also used the features of our venue really well. We got married in a historic hotel so he used the balconies and stairs as a really pretty setting. The ceremony and reception room had a bunch of mirrors which he used beautifully catching us, our guests, or chandeliers in the mirrors. Jay was great to work with and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera for both the engagement session and at the wedding. He was always very helpful, responsive, and made it so I never once stressed about the photography. I would highly recommend him to anyone!

    Jay was absolutely amazing; the whole process leading up to the wedding was a breeze. At the wedding, he never left my side, he was able to capture some of the best moments of the wedding and every picture turned out just fantastic. I don’t think I could have chosen a better photographer for my wedding. My proofs were back to me within just a few weeks and they were more than amazing. Whenever I emailed Jay he would always get right back to me, he dressed better than some of the people at the wedding which was defiantly a plus; I hear that a lot of photographers tend to dress not so professionally. I would recommend him to anyone – if I could give any couple advice, spend the money on the photographer rather than food for an example, your pictures will what you will be looking back on for the rest of your lives!
    Thank you again Jay you were wonderful 

    Jay was wonderful!! He was quick to respond to my emails and super friendly every time we met in person. He made my husband and I feel really comfortable in front of the camera for both our engagement and our wedding pictures. On the day of our wedding, he had such a great energy that our bridal party, friends, and family looked happy and relaxed in the photos, not stiff and posed! Our pictures turned out beautifully and I couldn't have been more happy. My girlfriends who are already married said that they wished they had known about Jay for their weddings. I highly recommend him!!!

    If we could sum up our experience with Jay Moore it would be this: "Wow!" We are so excited about the quality and content of our pictures- this is coming from a bride who hates having per picture taken and a groom with an eye for photography. ;-) Everyone who has seen our pictures to date have responded with a "wow" of their own.

    We wanted Jay to focus on the candid shots and that's exactly what he did- we didn't even know he was there! He captured moments and expressions that only a good photographer could in addition to some beautiful pictures of the reception decor itself- reminders of the fine details that my husband and I couldn't remember considering that we were so wrapped up in each other on that day. :-)

    It would have been nice to have album options bundled within the overall base price versus a la cart pricing for albums but this wouldn't deter us from hiring Jay again in the slightest. We couldn't be any happier with our pictures and having three sets of them is perfect! He was quick and efficient in getting us access to our photo gallery in addition to receiving our copies in the mail... seeing sneak peeks on his website were of great fun as well.

    You're looking at two very, very satisfied customers. We would recommend Jay to anyone!

    -Mandy & Kevin

    We loved working with Jay Moore. He arrived early at the church, did a great job working with our friends and family to get the formal photography done quickly, and was totally flexible with his time and locations for shooting. We had the digital prints back for review in less than two weeks. His prices were competitive and in most cases lower than the other photographers we considered. He was also unobtrusive throughout the ceremony and reception and enthusiatic about everything in the planning.

    My husband and I met with several photographers before deciding on Jay Moore. My husband and I liked Jay right away and I feel that a photographer is one wedding vendor that you need to get along with :) My husband and I had an engagment photo session with Jay and he spend over two hours with us. Jay even took photos of us with our dog (for all animal lovers, Jay says he enjoys working with pets). On the wedding day Jay made sure to honor our wishes on photos we wanted taken (first look photos, certain family photos). Jay will give you a CD of photos and release the rights so you can print them. My husband and I are still going through photos trying to narrow them down for our wedding album. If you're having a wedding at 1840s ballroom/plaza, Jay is very familiar with the venue and will make sure to capture all of its beautiful features.

    Jay was very accomodating with many different pictures that I wanted taken for my wedding. Thus far, in looking at the sneak peaks, the pictures seem to be of good quality. I think that he was of great value and I would definitely recommend having 2 photographers shooting at a wedding in order to capture more.
