Absolutely wonderful from start to finish!! Such nice people who do excellent work. We met them in person for our engagement photos which turned out amazing. They were so helpful and nice and answered all of my questions throughout the entire process. I never felt like I was bothering them, which is so important for a nervous bride. They brought fun energy during our wedding and enjoyed their presence. All of my friends and family have raved about our beautiful photographs and we are so happy we worked with them and had this experience. Would highly recommend!!! -

Jenny and Joe were nothing but a pure joy to work with! I worked with them for my bridal portraits and our wedding photos, and not only were they professional and efficient, but they also made us feel very comfortable through the entire process. Not to mention that all our photos are gorgeous! I have nothing but great things to say about JCM Photography, and I will be recommending them to everyone! -

Joe & Jenny are absolutely amazing!! Their work is phenomenal. We hired them for our wedding and it's truly the best decision we made. The quality of our wedding photos were top-level and truly stunning. Aside from their incredible talent, they went above and beyond for us from the first email to the very end. We didn't meet Joe & Jenny face to face until our wedding day, and they instantly felt like good friends and made us feel so comfortable. (As a bride who hates to be the center of attention, being in front of a camera for 8+ hours seemed nightmarish) These guys brought such a fun, laid-back vibe to the whole experience there was not one moment that I felt uncomfortable or out of place in front of their camera. They were so kind, energetic, creative and fun to work with. They made our photos look natural, candid (not posed or structured) and captured our day in such a unique and special way. Asheville was a destination wedding for us, which made planning a bit stressful at times. But if every vendor communicated the way that Jenny & Joe did... holy cow, the wedding world would be a better place. They responded SO FAST every time we reached out, were professional and were clear and thorough when explaining anything to us. They answered questions, gave recommendations on aspects of our wedding that at times had absolutely nothing to do with photography.. Their experience in the industry truly shows, and they really provided us with a piece of mind throughout the planning craziness as well on our day. I could talk all day about how incredible it was to have Joe & Jenny be a part of our big day. We can't say thank you enough! This is your sign to go with JCM - they're the freaking best :)

We hired JCM Photography for our engagement and wedding pictures in Asheville, NC. Jenny and Joe are the absolute best, we loved working with them! They made us feel relaxed during both sessions and the pictures they captured are absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend hiring Jenny and Joe for your photography needs - you won't find anyone better! -

Jenny and Joe did our engagement shoot and we loved them so much that they shot our wedding as well! Their work is top notch! They do a great job of making all of your photos look natural (nothing looks posed) and they help to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera with their outgoing personalities. In addition to how amazing Jenny and Joe are as a couple and how perfect their pictures, they also get your photos back to you so quickly! -

Joe and Jen were our biggest cheerleaders throughout our wedding day and radiated positivity. Before we could ask them for help, they were already doing it. Their photography is simply amazing! Unique and full of ‘in the moment’ photos. They give enough direction to where you know what to do during photos, and also encourage natural smiles and laughs with their friendly personalities. I cannot recommend JCM photography enough! When I’m asked about my wedding, I quickly bring up our amazing photographers. They were both incredible throughout the entire journey of our wedding from engagement photos, wedding photos and were VERY responsive.
Jennifer and Joe were more than just amazing photographers at our wedding. Joe helped my husband tie his necktie, supported and got the groomsmen hype throughout the day. Jen fastened my bustle with ease and also supported and encouraged me and my bridesmaids. They both made us, our wedding party, family and guests feel so comfortable and confident. So, if you’re thinking of hiring JCM Photography, DO IT! You will not regret it, in fact, you will thank yourself.

Jessica Sent on 11/11/2021Unbelievable!
JCM Photography and Balsam Mountain Photography are UNBELIEVABLE!! When we started searching for a photographer, we knew that we would have an incredibly dancey crowd and wanted to make sure we found someone that could really capture the energy; those candid dance floor pictures were a huge priority. We mentioned this to every photographer we reached out to, but Jenny and Joe were the ONLY ones that addressed that. They went as far as to send us galleries from specifically dancey weddings to show what they could do, and we were just blown away from the start how A.) they had the level of care to make sure to show us examples of exactly what we were looking for, and B.) how amazingly they did at capturing those moments! We were immediately sold and so excited to work with them.
Our wedding ended up getting postponed by Covid, and when we nailed down our new date Jenny and Joe were no longer available. They assured us that they would set us up with photographers that could get the job done, and they were not kidding! That is when we started working with Jesse and Megan. They were delightful through all of our communication, the sweetest people! But when it comes to their performance the day of…we are still BLOWN AWAY!! They were EVERYWHERE on the dance floor; they came totally prepared to capture every crazy moment, and did not stop! I have worked in the wedding industry for 9 years and I don’t know if I’ve ever seen photographers so fully encompassing every moment until the very end! We had tons of guests even come up and compliment us on the photographers, all noticing that they were seriously all over it the whole night! Throughout the entire day they were chill, delightful, and really just great people to work with. They were light-hearted and made the entire process fun. They listened to what we wanted when we decided to change up our portrait shot location, and even helped our videographer with his equipment when it was having problems right before the ceremony. And when we got our pictures back….THEY WERE PERFECT!! I had every confidence that they would be amazing, but there aren’t even words to express how great each and every picture is. It’s true, the whole day is a complete and total blur, and at the end of the day the pictures are what you have to look back on, especially for all the things you missed/didn’t get to see while you were busy being pulled in different directions. Going with JCM was the best decision we could have ever made. Our friends and family now have such beautiful memories to cherish forever, thanks to Jesse, Megan, Jenny, and Joe. We are forever thankful we found JCM; now we can always look back on that day and fully see everything that happened, perfectly encapsulated.

To say that Jenny and Joe are incredible is such an understatement. Our Wedding wouldn't have been half as amazing without them. We are so blessed to have had Jenny and Joe as our photographers. They are expert storytellers, and boy do they tell your story! They capture every moment, every expression, every tiny detail that would otherwise be a blip in your life. To say I'm thankful for them doesn't even come close. If you're unsure about who to book as a photographer - please look no further. I can't imagine my proposal, bridal shoot, or wedding without these flawless artists! -

My fiance and I booked JCM Photography for our engagement photoshoot at the Craggy Gardens in Asheville, NC. We absolutely love how our photos turned out! We received plenty of compliments from family and friends. Some of our family members even called our photos "magical". The photoshoot was not easy to plan given the high propensity of it to rain at the Craggy! In fact, the first time we tried taking photos, it rained on us and we had to reschedule! Despite all of this, Jennifer and Joe helped us throughout the entire process. From the very start, they always responded to our emails/texts/phone calls/questions in a timely manner. In addition, Jennifer and Joe gave made the photoshoot extremely fun. They made us feel comfortable being ourselves, yet gave us the necessary guidance we needed in order to get the pictures we wanted. We highly recommend JCM photography! If you're looking for amazing photographers who will bring your love story to life, look no further ! -

Jennifer and Joe are AMAZING!!! Do not look any further for photographers in the Asheville and surrounding areas because JCM Photography is it! Jennifer and Joe are genuine, personable, kind and so much FUN! My fiance' and I had our engagement session with them at the Biltmore and it was a wonderful experience I will never forget. My husband and I had the pleasure of being with them on our wedding day and they made us feel like old friends. Our wedding day was the most memorable day of our lives and it wouldn't have been the same without them. The two of them together have a special companionship and are a joy to be around. They are thoughtful and creative with their approach because it is a form of art for them. They capture more than just moments... they capture feelings, emotions and that is truly something that is special. They are so fast with their editing and their pictures are something to treasure forever. My husband and I are so excited because we now have two new friends after our wedding day and we are forever grateful! Thank you so much JCM Photography! We love you guys so much! -

Speaking from a vendor perspective, JCM is a awesome to work with! Their photo quantity and quality totally exceeded my expectation given what we typically see from other vendors. They were professional, timely and fun to work with. I am looking forward to seeing them again at our venue. I know our Clients will feel great about their experience and photos, it is my pleasure to recommend them. -

From consultation to post-wedding preview, JCm have been wonderful people, professionals, and photographers. We could not be more happy with the experience of having them as a part of our big night! One of my favorite pictures so far shows Jennifer getting down on the dance floor with our friends - they're not afraid to get right up in the action! I can't wait to see our full album in a few weeks! -

JCM Photography...It's truly hard to put into words how much we love Jenny and Joe. From when we first met at a coffee shop to over a year later hugging them with grateful tears at the end of the reception, our entire experience far exceeded our expectations.
At our first meeting we discussed a few photos I wanted to make sure were taken outside of the traditional shots. They took very thorough notes and made sure we went over every detail and even had suggestions that I hadn't thought of.
They made us feel very comfortable during our engagement session and made it a lot of fun. They took our vision for the session and ran with it and we were BLOWN AWAY by how the photos turned out! The framed photos were a great addition to our wedding decorations!
The wedding day was perfection and how they work as a team to make everything run smoothly is impressive. Prior to the ceremony Joe was with the guys getting ready at the church and Jenny was with the Ladies at the bridal suite. They captured exactly who we are as individuals and during our first look they captured exactly who we are as a couple. They made sure to get the important traditional pictures as well as the candid moments with our family and friends that will be cherished forever.
When we received our preview from the wedding, one of the first photos was one I specifically asked for a year prior at our coffee shop meeting and it was perfect. That little attention to detail is exactly what they are all about. The friendship we formed, the beers we've shared and the hugs given whenever we run into each other is just cherry on top of having gorgeously captured memories!
We have recommended JCM Photography to several friends and will continue to do so!

Joe and Jenny did our engagement pictures and we were blown away by how natural and creative they turned out. They did not feel staged or cheesy at all and they did a great job capturing both us and the mountains. They did our wedding photos as well and oh my goodness are we thrilled. The pictures are beautiful and all of our friends can’t stop talking about them and asking who our photographers were. They are also so chill and easy to work with while getting things done to maximize time so we actually could enjoy being present at our wedding too. We love Joe and Jenny!! Highly recommend them. -

Jennifer and her husband were amazing! They matched our personality great and we had a blast with them. They made sure to get the shots we wanted and put up with the family request very well! And from the pictures I have received so far I love their work! -

Jordan Sent on 09/25/2019Loved working with these two so much!
Jenny and Joe were amazing. I decided to choose them initially because I liked the idea of having 2 photographers who routinely worked together...seemed like you could definitely get more value and more pics, and it was SUPER helpful in instances like the first look and "getting ready" photos where girls and guys were separated. Their packages seemed reasonable considering the length of time they spend with you, the 2 photographers vs 1, and getting access to all photos after the wedding.
Now with the wedding behind us, I can say I am soooooo glad that we went with JCM photography. First of all, they were just so fun. They were direct and assertive in taking photos (aka, kind of bossy in arranging people but in a good way). That's what you want in a photographer when you have lots of photos to get and don't want to spend all day doing it. They are definitely more focused on getting the candid shots, and that's what we wanted most of also... but of course we did have some family photos/posed photos we needed/wanted to get and they were very efficient in getting those.
3 days after the wedding, I already got a "sneak peak" with 130 pictures to look at! I was not expecting any that quickly. That was so awesome as we didn't have many pics from the night from family and friends. The ones we have seen so far turned out amazing.
All in all, if you want fun photographers who are efficient, assertive, communicative, and amazing at taking photos (obviously), these two are definitely the way to go!!! You won't regret it! -

Amanda Sent on 09/25/2019Awesome Experience
Our daughter’s wedding was weeks ago and our friends and family are still raving on and on about how beautiful and magical it all was! Joe and Jen helped capture every single magical detail of both the Bridal and the wedding day and we can enjoy all the beauty of each through their photographs for years to come. The photo quality is flawless as is their ability to capture all the many emotions and personalities not only of the happy couple but our entire family. I have worked with photographers in the past who although they can take a great shot may miss the important details even something as simple as paying attention to the guests or making a point to grab the Bride and Groom for a quick set of photos just in time for the perfect sunset shot over the water. Their entire team kept surprising me each time I would think ‘oh this would be a great shot where is my camera’ they were already there on the scene grabbing each and every moment as if reading my mind. I was impressed to say the least after a long hot day of shooting and chasing down the massive chaos that is our family they were just as enthusiastic for the exit photo as the first look. I assure you will be satisfied whether booking a session or an entire event JCM Photography Asheville they will not miss a beat! Phenomenal job of capturing all the tears and the laughs all the moments that will fill our memories! We truly enjoyed working with Jen and Joe the last couple of months and look forward to working with them again in the future! -

I had the pleasure of working with Jennifer & Joe and they were amazing! As a vendor, myself, a DJ to be exact, it is always great when you work with people who are flexible, professional and know how important it is to work as a team. Jennifer and Joe did exactly this. They were always ready and stayed involved with communication with me and the other vendors throughout the night! I would love to work with them again and I hope to do so very soon!
Looking forward to seeing the moments they captured!

Having Jenny and Joe as our wedding photographers was the best decision we made (other than saying “I do”). From the moment we met them at our engagement session to the final goodbyes leaving our wedding, they were a joy to work with. They made the process so enjoyable and easy that we knew we hired the best! On our wedding day, we were so impressed by their professionalism and passion for what they do. Wedding day can be very stressful, and it’s so important to find someone who cares about your wedding as much as you do and we knew we hit the jackpot with them. They wanted to make sure that all of our desired pictures were taken, while at the same time, keeping everyone entertained and comfortable! We were so impressed with how all of our pictures turned out, and how quick of a turnaround it was to get the pictures back from Jenny and Joe. I believe it’s safe to say that we’ve found our go-to photographers for life’s most important events. We would hands-down recommend JCM Photography and know that whoever uses them will feel the same as we did! -

My fiance hired JCM photography for a surprise proposal at the Biltmore in Asheville, NC. Two strangers that I never met popped out of the shadows and were so energetic. I was still a little bit in shock. We had a 15 min session with them because out carriage was late. In just 15 minutes they were able to capture pictures that described us as a couple, our love and the special moment as we start the journey of the rest of our lives together. My fiance after described how easy they were to get ahold of them when snow almost ruined our trip and they helped him find the most amazing spot for the most amazing moment of my life, well up to that point. We LOVED their clarity and vibrant pictures so much that we paid for them to come all the way to Raleigh, NC for our wedding. It did not hurt that they are the most down to earth and friendly people. They are great to work with and really point you in the right direction for gorgeous photos. They capture beautiful pictures that are nothing short of breathtaking. They were a little more than I had budgeted for the wedding but honestly they were worth every penny!!! You will not find better photographers. I was a little worried about them being so far away and the communication but they made communication so easy. When we did out initial phone meeting it felt like we were talking to old friends. They made sure to get the shots we wanted! And a complete bonus that they are super quick with providing the edited pictures. I think for the engagement it was about a week and we had all our gorgeous photos. You can really tell they love what they do and they are great at what they do. I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone in any area looking for a photographer. -

Jenny and Joe are first off our friends. And from the start I always said that they would do our photos for my wedding. Well it finally happened!

We had the pleasure of meeting this awesome husband & wife combo thanks to my sister in Asheville. We couldn’t have asked for a better engagement session. They were kind, courtesy, flexible, funny, & professional! Being a gay couple from L.A. we weren’t entirely sure what to expect outside our natural habitat but they made us feel safe, loved, & respected. I would highly recommend them for any occasion. I can’t say enough about the quality of our engagement pictures! Literally breath taking & beyond what I had imagined! Having a very tough time deciding on our save the date because I like them all! Lol Thank you JCM photography for such a wonderful experience & for your dedication to such outstanding work! ! ! We are seriously thinking of flying y’all out for our wedding next year! -

Elyssa Sent on 04/24/2019Want the best photographers? Choose these two!
As we approach the end of our fourth month of marriage many things have come easy, but our reviews sure haven’t. The challenge of this review surfaces from a difficulty to find the words best appropriate to articulate just how wonderful our experience has been. My husband, and I began our wedding photographer search thinking this would be an area that we wanted to save money. The more we thought about it and shopped around, the more we realized just how important our wedding photographer was going to be (I mean they are the ones taking the photos that we will cherish for a lifetime right?). I ran across JCM photography on google and fell in love with the raw beauty of their photos (it was obvious their photos were pieces of art, not created through tons of editing but through an eye (or lens ) for creativity). I immediately reached out to Jenny and Joe to inquire about their availability for our wedding date. They were speedy to get back to me and within a few exchanged emails, we had a meeting time scheduled for that evening. I think of myself as someone who thrives on interpersonal communication, so when given the opportunity to meet in person versus over the phone, I immediately jumped at that chance. They offered a coffee shop, as if they already knew me (you could basically say coffee runs through my veins lol). I left our meeting knowing in my heart that I had found our wedding photographers – a husband and wife couple who I gleaned from our first meeting were down to earth, confident yet humble, organized, funny, genuine, and very creative. Jenny and Joe were with us throughout our entire engagement - shooting our engagement photos, my bridal session, and our wedding. They drove all over Asheville (4 different locations to be exact) in order to get the best engagement photos possible for Lee and I given the extremely foggy circumstances we were faced with. They trekked through the woods, froze their hands, feet, and faces off to get bridal portrait shots for me. They were stuck to our side the entire day of the wedding not only ensuring that all of the precious moments imaginable were captured but also to provide whatever love and support they possibly could. We received a preview of our wedding photos 4 days after the wedding (that’s like basically unheard of) and the rest of our photos came just a couple weeks later! We could not be more impressed with how all of our photos turned out and are so thankful for the expertise and professionalism of these two photographers. Somewhere along the lines of working with Jenny and Joe, they became more than just our photographers, they became our friends! Our wedding day was nothing short of absolutely amazing, and we couldn’t be more pleased and thankful for this husband and wife team that we selected to capture such special moments for us!
With so much love,
Elyssa and Lee Pattillo
