    The Best Photographer

    My husband and I were completely blown away by the photos from our wedding day. Jose was a pleasure to work with. Throughout the whole process he was very communicative and made everything so simple. He did a wonderful job capturing our special day and we couldn’t be happier with the results! We can’t say enough great things about Jose and we would highly recommend his services!

    Wedding 5/19/24


    Jose was our photographer for a wedding on May 19th 2024. He did an incredible job and I highly recommend choosing him as your photographer. He was extremely organized, efficient, dedicated, and wonderful to work with. He made sure to get all the specific shots that were requested and more. He created a schedule for the day and stuck to it, even when some things out of our control fell behind in the day.
    It was quite obvious he absolutely loves what he does. He shot some of the most beautiful wedding photography I have ever seen and I will cherish these pictures forever. I highly recommend utilizing his services, especially if you value artistic photography that captures the essence of your day.

    Amazing photos and clear expectations

    Jose is a very talented and detail-oriented photographer. He went absolutely above and beyond for every step of the process as our wedding photographer. Even just by himself he was able to capture all of the big and small moments that tell the story of our wedding day. Showing my friends and family the photos they say they are the best wedding photos they have ever seen. He has been extremely well communicative throughout the process and the making of our wedding album. Even though we did not have a videographer for our wedding, Jose's photos were more than enough to capture all the wonderful memories of our special day. Thank you so much, Jose, for all of your hard work!!!

    Friendly service and a creative eye in the Pennsylvania Poconos

    We had the pleasure of having Jose as our photographer for our wedding in Oct 2023 in Hawley, PA. We were first drawn to his work noting his creative approach to framing images and usage of light/shadow, of the natural colors with good contrast but not over-saturation of the images. We appreciated the unique and artistic touches he brought to the images he captured.

    During our wedding, he was one of the photographers you didn't always notice around but on reviewing the photos at the end think, 'he was everywhere! I didn't even see him.' One of our favorite photos came out of walking down a staircase together when our reflections in a picture frame suddenly caught his eye, inspiring a nice reflection shot. We also got some fabulous and dramatically lit nighttime shots once the rain calmed down outside. He managed to capture a number of nice candid images of our guests through out the event, which we were very happy with.

    Jose was very friendly and attentive, helping to guide certain shots without being pushy. He was also happy to work with us when we had ideas of our own. Jose was communicative and organized in planning the photography flow of the wedding day, as well as working with the circumstances in the midst of the day itself (rain. Lots of rain.) He checked in with us before leaving to make sure we felt we had gotten enough.

    Jose came back to us quite quickly with the first images after the wedding day, and later with the whole collection of hundreds of images we thoroughly enjoyed. We're still currently in the process of deciding on our photo album, which has also been a very organized process, and we have been quite happy with his arrangement...working to include nearly all of the images we marked as our favorites.

    We would be more than happy to recommend Jose Almeida photography and to hire him again!

    Amazing talent!

    I can't imagine our wedding without Jose. We are thrilled he was our photographer and can't say enough good things about him! He is so talented, you can just tell he is doing what he loves and is meant to be doing. His style is the perfect balance of creative and timeless. We would not call ourselves the most photogenic people and we were blown away by how he captured us. Our venue recommended him, and we would choose him again without a doubt!

    From the first call we had, he made us feel at ease. Our engagement photos were a fun way to get to know him and gave us peace of mind going into our wedding. During our wedding day, his experience shined at every turn. He arrived early, stayed until the very end and dealt with all of the craziness like a champ! We really envisioned our wedding to be outside, but the weather was too cold and rainy. I was worried we wouldn't be able to have the photos we wanted, but he managed to take amazing photos inside and kept a close eye on the weather outside to give us the best of both worlds.

    Jose has such a calming, positive presence and we really appreciated his communication throughout the whole process. We are forever grateful he captured our big day and highly recommend him!

    Thank you, Jose!

    Artistic, Authentic, and Accommodating

    My wife and I cannot say enough fantastic things about Jose. From start to finish, he actively listened to what we wanted for our wedding and captured the day beyond documenting the events. Jose's professionalism and eye for natural aesthetics puts him in a league of his own above the rest. On top of all of this, he made us feel comfortable and we were able to be ourselves. If you are looking for a photographer to highlight the natural colors, contrasts, and beauty of your wedding, Jose is your guy.

    10/10 Experience with Jose!

    We just returned from our wedding weekend and had to leave our review for Jose! He was so easy to work with and made us feel so comfortable. We were able to really be ourselves around him. He was so flexible with us and made it possible to have our welcome BBQ photographed as well. It is such a nice feeling to have a vendor that you can trust which set our minds at ease on our big day! We cannot recommend him enough! Thank you Jose for being a part of our special weekend!

    Can't recommend Jose enough!

    Jose is an amazing photographer! He was very professional and easy to work with. We had him do our engagement photos and our actual wedding. We’re both fairly shy, and he was very good at keeping us relaxed and comfortable. At the wedding Jose brought Carlo in as a second photographer and the two of them worked very well as a team. For both sets of pictures, he got the digital pictures to us very quickly and it goes without saying that they were all great. Jose and Carlo were able to capture all of the excitement and love at our wedding and we’ll cherish the pictures forever. We can’t recommend Jose and Carlo enough!

    HIGHLY recommend!

    Jose was amazing to work with! He first did our engagement photos which came out stunning. He was willing to travel to any location we wanted & We also got our photos back to us the following day!
    I can not say enough good things about the day of our wedding. The photos were beautiful. He managed to capture everything we wanted that day, plus more.
    Highly HIGHLY recommend!

    Best Experience

    From start to finish, working with Jose was an amazing experience. My husband and I immediately loved his personality when we first met with him. That same, creative personality showed in his work for our engagement and wedding photos. His timeline kept the day at a great pace, making sure we got the photos we wanted and got the time to spend with our family and guests. I also loved his raw, candidness style for photos. Looking at our wedding pictures, we can feel like we’re right back in that moment. We can’t wait to work with him again in the future.

    Absolute Artwork

    We couldn’t be happier with the amazing pictures that Jose captured from our wedding day. Jose has a unique knack for capturing emotions in still photography and every time I look at our pictures from the day, I can literally feel all the feels from the day. On top of delivering absolutely stunning pictures, Jose was so easy to work with and went above and beyond with everything. We weren’t crazy about doing an engagement shoot (parents of two kids and the idea of trying to squeeze this into our hectic lives seemed impossible); so Jose offered to come out the night before the wedding at our welcome BBQ. We appreciate the great candid pictures from the evening, as it was the first time many of our friends and family were getting together in a very long time. As for the wedding day, Jose and Carlo made everything so easy! We aren’t photogenic peeps and their simple directions made taking the essential pictures easy and fun. Now we had kids in tow, so trying to get some solo shots in was quite the challenge, but Jose made sure we snuck away for a couple of minutes for just Mom & Dad pics and we’re so thankful we did. These pictures are absolute art! Thank you so much Jose for all that you did to capture the day, we are forever grateful that you captured the absolute magic from the day!!

    Jose has this unique ability to capture incredible photos within any environment he finds himself in. In addition, he's also a great person to work with, honest and passionate about his work.

    Why is Jose so Awesome?!?!

    If you want the best, most authentic and beautiful wedding photos, Jose is your guy. His lighting choices, flexibility and laid-back approach made our day so, so special and felt like no one else could have captured it the same way. He was willing to climb over rock walls to capture our waterfall dream, and accommodated every thought we had, while reminding us of our timeline. Our friends and family loved having him be a part of our day (as did we!) and could not be happier with the end result. Stunning photos, almost too many gorgeous ones to choose from.

    Above and beyond

    From setting up and planning all the way until the last picture was taken, Jose was incredibly professional and flexible throughout the entire process! Jose went above and beyond our expectations capturing beautiful pictures while also respecting our time.

    He came with another photographer who was also very professional and helpful! What we loved was that the second photographer brought was also a visionary and took control just as much as Jose.

    The results were OUTSTANDING and even better than expected. Jose captured intimate moments we didn't even remember and the entire night was well represented in his pictures. Action shots, staged shots, candid shots.. You name it we got it! TRUST JOSE'S PROCESS. You will not be sorry :)

    I cannot recommend his service higher!

    Exquisite and Unique

    Jose has a unique and artistic eye that I found to be much different than modern-day mainstream wedding photos. His pieces are purely magical and each one tells an in-depth story; they are not just simply captured moments. My now husband and I are both literary professionals, so we were seeking a photographer with a more sensual and profound way of telling a couple's story and Jose exceeded our expectations! In addition to his incredible talent, he is patient, kind, and SO MUCH FUN to work with! We began our journey with him in 2019 pre-pandemic, and throughout all the trials and tribulations, he was with us every step of the way. His assistant, Carlo, was an absolute angel and commits 110% to get the shot (he is not afraid to hide in bushes for perfection!). After working with Jose, we will not only recommend him to all friends and family, but we only plan to work with him on any future celebrations!

    The Art of Photography: Jose Almeida

    Your wedding day is one of the most important events within your lifetime. There is more than enough pressure to have everything go perfectly throughout the day. Although you will never forget your wedding, you will want to look back and share the photos with families and friends.

    We chose Jose Almeida to be the photographer for our wedding due to his incredible volume of work that is in his portfolio. I knew he had the eye for capturing and framing shots that take your breath away. There are PLENTY of photographers that will come and snap as many shots as they can, but there are very few who will direct you toward a completely breathtaking photograph.

    On the day of my wedding, Jose arrived earlier than my wife and me. He scouted the venue for the best locations for the First Look photo session. I could see that Jose wanted to get the best quality for my wife and me with the limited amount of time we had to work together. We immediately began our session together, and he was an absolute gentleman. I appreciated most of how Jose helped direct me in positioning my posture, moving my eyes, hand, etc., to create stunning images. The gorgeous venue was captured in the background while also framing flattering pictures of the bride and groom. Honestly, I could not be happier with the photography that Jose Almeida provided.

    Jose was punctual and detail-oriented. He was prepared with a breakdown of requested photographs from us. If it wasn’t for Jose bringing the schedule, you could easily miss capturing pictures with your closest family and friends.

    Lastly, Jose provided us the final photos in less than a week! We have 428 pictures given to use by Jose. The website he shares your pictures on is beautiful and easy to use. You’re able to download the complete album or simply share the link with family and friends.

    If you don’t believe me, check out his work body; it will speak for itself. I’ll even be more than willing to share pictures from my album with you! We plan to use Jose for our next photo session as well. You won’t be disappointed!

    The most amazing photographer

    First off, look no further; you have found a precious gem lost in the depths of the earth. Jose Almeida is genuinely one of a kind. He is not just someone who takes pictures; anyone can do that. Jose is an artist. He knows about angles, lights, and other things the normal eye would not catch. I came across him by chance scoping for a photographer. When I l reviewed hundreds of overpriced and mediocre photography, I stumbled upon him. His pictures impressed my husband, so we took a chance with him. I am glad I did. He is a very kind soul, understanding, and gives you what you ask for and more.
    I felt extremely comfortable working with him, and he was hilarious and personable. I truly hope we meet again! If you want in-the-moment pictures, he will provide you with that, but if you wish to have a director and someone to tell you what to do, pose, and capture the best sides of you, he is a master at that. He saw pictures in the most random scenarios. Jose also kept a very well and genuinely thought-out schedule that kept us on track. We were never late doing anything with him, and it made our wedding go by so smoothly. He captured so many moments that I didn't even notice, and I am eternally grateful for him. He also gave us our photos in a uniquely timely manner. Please do yourself a favor and look no further. Take a chance with Jose. You will not be disappointed.

    Absolutely Amazing

    As someone who is not photogenic, please take my advice when it comes to a photographer and hire Jose! He made someone who hates photos really look forward to seeing how they turned out. The results extremely lived up to the expectations as every photo he sent to us was wonderful. He made my husband and I look absolutely brilliant not only in our engagement photos but in everything related to our wedding!

    Not only are the photos breathtaking, but the process he has in place makes the day of and every part of the photography process 10 times easier! We knew everything that was happening at all times as the communication he had with us was stellar. Even when things were out of our control delayed because of a pandemic, Jose was the one to spearhead and improvise to keep us on track! Not only will you love everything about Jose, but all of your friends and family will as well!

    If you still don't believe me and are still considering someone else, I will leave you with this. Jose is so good that the maid of honor and her now fiance hired Jose to do their proposal shoot and yes those photos look wonderful as well! The one sure fire thing to do for your wedding would be to hire Jose!

    Best of the best!

    Jose is truly an incredibly gifted photographer. He is also kind and easy-going, and he makes you feel so comfortable in his presence. Go to his website and read his bio to get a sense of who he is. Then scan through his exquisite photographs, as they speak for themselves. Then do yourself a favor and hire him for your upcoming event. Mark my word, you will be happy you did.

    Jose is a great photographer, very professional, punctual, kind, patient, easy going and easy to talk to you. You can see that he puts a lot of thought and creativity into his work so as to bring out the best results. My wife and I enjoyed having him as our wedding photographer and highly recommend him.

    Best Wedding Photographer in the area

    We are absolutely in love with the photos Jose took for our engagement session and our wedding. We had never taken photos with a professional photographer before our engagement session, and Jose made sure we were comfortable with the process and having fun the whole time. He even took a few photos of us with our crazy dogs :)

    We are so thankful that Jose was there for our special day. He arrived early for our wedding to scout the venue for the best photo locations and captured all the special moments of our ceremony perfectly for us to look back and remember forever.

    Thank you Jose!

    Couldn't be happier - the photos are absolutely stunning!

    We could not be happier with Jose's photographs! We chose him initially for his talent in capturing touching candid moments so well, which he did on our wedding day :). They really conveyed the meaning and emotions of little moments throughout the day that often would have gone unnoticed. Additionally, he has a beautiful eye and found the most gorgeous spots to photograph us in! His ability to capture stunning silhouettes is amazing. He is very professional, always responded very quickly to our messages, and most importantly - is so easy to work with! Everything felt very natural and never forced. We HIGHLY recommend Jose to anyone looking for a great photographer!

    Great Photographer, Highly Recommend

    I got married in September and covid did not make things easy for my husband and I. The wedding finally came around and I was a complete mess! My make-up came out wrong, my hair was falling out of place and I was really behind schedule! Jose came in and did his thing!! He didn’t miss a beat and actually came with a printed out copy of our schedule and kept me on track. It was so hectic and I’m so grateful to have had a friend/photographer there to guide me through it. Oh and of course the photos came out beautifully!

    Great experience!

    Jose was professional, timely, and our photos turned out great. Not everyone in our family loves having their picture taken and Jose made everyone feel comfortable. We highly recommend Jose for ANY occasion!

    We are obsessed with our pictures

    Working with Jose has been one of the highlights of our wedding day. Aside from being a true professional, his artistic talent really aligned with our vision for our day. He captured us beautifully. Jose has been really easy to work with and just a pleasure. We would recommend him in a heartbeat. We feel truly blessed to have worked with him.

    Jose is not just a photographer, he's an artist.

    My husband and I were beyond happy with Jose, his team, and the photos. Jose is such a great guy who is flexible as well. We had to move our wedding date and Jose was super accommodating. His photo packages are so reasonably priced, and you get much more value out of them compared to most generic wedding photographers who have expensive packages. Jose and his team are so creative and will give you magazine editorial quality of photos. He has a serious vision for photos. We are so happy we had Jose photograph our wedding. Our Wedding Party couldn’t stop talking about how fantastic Jose was all Wedding Day. We are obsessed with our Wedding Photos.

    Awesome Experience!

    Jose photographed my micro wedding in the Poconos in July along with his partner Nadine. Jose had awesome communication from the start and responded to any questions I had quickly. On the day of our wedding, Jose and Nadine made us feel comfortable immediately. We wanted pictures that incorporated nature, lots of candids, and group pictures. He listened to exactly what we wanted and delivered! It was a backyard ceremony, and Jose found all these cool spots for us to take pictures in. The pictures turned out AMAZING! We can’t stop looking through them and have gotten so many compliments! They really captured the setting and all the special moments. Communication was awesome throughout. I would 10/10 recommend Jose Almeida Photography!

    Amazing, helpful, listens, and can sure take pictures!

    Jose was amazing. I was totally nervous and stressed out for my proposal. Keeping it a secret was priority! Jose was really easy to speak to, listened well, took perfect instructions and made great suggestions. He lent a helping hand in preparation and was undetectable during the shoot! A+ guy, and A+ service. And the shots, everyone loves them! and he turned them around very quickly. Helped make the moment timeless.

    Jose is an amazing photographer with a unique ability to connect with and understand his clients

    When wedding planning, one of our first priorities was finding a photographer with a unique style with whom we felt comfortable working with. Neither of us feel particularly comfortable behind a camera so it was important to us that we find someone who could still work with us and capture all of our moments. Jose is an incredible photographer, but you can see that from his portfolio. Just as important though, he takes time to understand you. From our first meeting, Jose made it his goal to understand what type of art resonates with us, both as a couple and individually. Jose photographed an engagement shoot, our rehearsal dinner, and our wedding day. The product of his work reflects that understanding – Jose “got us” – and that, we both cannot stress enough, is so important when it comes to having someone photograph such an important day in your life. The moments and memories he's captured are invaluable to us and will be treasured all our lives. We would recommend Jose without reservation – If he’s available for your date, you’d being doing yourself a disservice not to reach out and have a conversation with him. We genuinely look forward to working with him again in the future!

    A Class Act

    Where do I even begin! When it came time to pick a photographer for our wedding I was extremely overwhelmed! There were so many choices and I honestly did not know where to begin. I started researching online and thanks to many great reviews I reached out to Jose. From the very first phone call my fiancee and I had with Jose we knew he was exactly who we were looking for. He listened to all of our concerns and was very connectable! We hired him right after our first call!

    We live in Bensalem and our wedding was in the Poconos so we had to meet essentially via phone most of the time. This was never a problem! We had so many amazing phone calls with Jose who continued to reassure us and answer all of our questions. Jose was so quick to reply via text as well with any questions we had. About a month out Jose took time to personally meet us on the weekend at our venue to discuss things in person. To say that he goes above and beyond for his clients is an understatement. There truly are no words to describe him!

    On the day of the wedding he showed up and the room became even more excited as we knew some of the moments we were sharing getting ready were going to start getting captured!

    Everyone including my guest praised Jose and Shawn (his partner photographer). It was like he was everywhere at one time but was never in the way. I felt so comfortable with him and so did my entire bridal party.

    He stayed the entire night and captured the most incredible moments. His artistic eye is truly wonderful. After the wedding the communication did not stop, he continued to answer questions and worked so hard to get us our first look at the pictures quickly which is amazing considering we got married in prime wedding season. HIS WORK IS BEAUTIFUL! My husband and I could not believe the quality and care he took in every little detail including a personal handwritten letter thanking both of us for letting him photograph our day. It is us however that should be saying thank you to Jose for his incredible work and the moments that he captured for us.

    My husband and I both feel that we made a friend in Jose and he is someone that we will never forget! We already are talking to him about a maternity shoot when we become pregnant.

    I recommend Jose to anyone and everyone who would ask, I feel so blessed to have had him for my wedding day!

    Best decision we ever made!

    Jose was amazing! A true, genuine soul with immense talent for capturing detail. His pictures tell a story.. they are works of art. I was looking for photographers and came across Jose. The picture I saw is what sealed the deal. My now husband knew on the spot that he was the photographer for us. Not only was he so nice at the time of booking, but in person, he was even more so. On our day, it rained and Jose braved that weather and captured the most spectacular photos that I am still in awe over them. If you are looking for a good-hearted, talented photographer that will treat you like one of his friends; Jose is the one for you.

    Jose was the best!

    Our friends and family are still talking about how beautiful our photos were almost two months later. We had so many good ones that it's been really tough narrowing it down to a small enough number to share/print. From our engagement photos in a state park to our wedding in a planetarium, his shots were beautiful with a dramatic flair. We got a ton of different fun shots and double exposures, absolutely gorgeous portraits, and the family photos and candids were great. Throughout the whole process, Jose was professional, friendly, and very easygoing. He was on-time, responded quickly, and delivered photos well above my expectations (for a very reasonable price!). The photos were delivered in a nice memento box with a handwritten note - a nice touch. We can't recommend him enough!

    You NEED Jose Almeida to Take Your Wedding Photos

    When we first got engaged, one of the vendors my now-husband and I were most anxious about booking was the photographer. After all, that person would be responsible for capturing the moments of the most important day of our lives for us to look back on. We reached dead end after dead end with photographers that either didn’t respond to our inquiries or were wildly out of our budget. We were really disheartened…until we found Jose Almeida Photography. Jose responded to my email asking to meet up and talk within hours of me sending it, which was the first “green flag.” When my sister/maid of honor and I met with Jose (my husband was out of town on business at the time), we instantly knew from his professional yet warm demeanor that he was going to be the person who would document our big day.
    Jose is truly talented, and his keen eye and ability speak for themselves. He is able to artfully capture moments that are somehow both spontaneous and poignant. His photos encapsulate raw emotion, ranging from the sheer joy of our first kiss as husband and wife to the unadulterated enjoyment that comes from dancing the night away with friends and family. The description that our guests repeatedly used for Jose was “rock star.” There wasn’t a moment that passed without Jose snapping a picture of it. There is no way to describe our wedding photos other than stunning. Jose Almeida is the consummate professional, an amazing photographer, and kind hearted person who I cannot recommend adamantly enough to anyone and everyone.

    Would definitely recommend!

    We are so happy we chose Jose Almeida to be our photographer! From the moment we met him he made us feel like friends. From our engagement shoot to our wedding he was very professional but also flexible to work with us. I am someone who doesn’t like to be the center of attention especially in pictures and he made me and my husband feel at ease. We LOVE the way our pictures turned out and he really captured the entire feel of the wedding day and night. Your wedding day goes by so fast and you almost forget to take a second to look around and with these photos we’ll have those memories forever!

    O'Donnell Wedding

    I have to say my now husband was resistant when it came to choosing a photographer as he is NOT a photo person, hates posing. When seeing family and friends photos and the poses they made during their wedding it made him even more skeptical. I came across Jose and I fell in love with his portfolio not only because of the artistic quality of his pictures but that he seemed to capture more moments rather than forcing poses, and that he did! Every aspect of my wedding was captured in his photos as candid shots, which we loved! My husband and I could not have more pleased with our photos and Jose in general. He took time to search around our venue to find the perfect place to take pictures of us allowing us to leave our reception for a short duration to capture individual photos and even the photos he did take of us posing were elegant, classy, and timeless. For my husband to be impressed and love our photos speaks volumes to the work Jose will bring to your wedding. Even the gift box he gave us with all our photos was a symbol of the quality and time he gives to his clients. I would recommend him for all my functions. We are not engagement photo people either and now he is using that portion of our wedding package to take photos of our new addition to our family, our daughter. He is amazing and professional!

    Nothing less than perfect

    This is who you want photographing your wedding or any other special life event. Attentive, responsive and will capture your most precious candid shot memories. We asked Jose to just have fun and capture events as they happened without really posing. That's what he did and the results were nothing less than perfect.

    Best Photographer!

    Jose did an incredible job capturing our special day! All of our guest won't stop talking about how much fun he was. Jose really tried to connect with everyone while taking timeless photographs. I couldn't have asked for a better person to work through all the planning with, including all the way up to the end of the night. His service is well worth your money! He isn't just a fantastic photographer, he also, will be a great addition to your special day. I know he will capture your day, in such a way, that you will relive it every time you see the photos.

    Wow....Simply Amazing Photographer

    Well, where do we begin? We hired Jose for our wedding and from the very beginning he was very professional and easy going. We explained what we were looking for, but because we seen his work on Instagram (we encourage you to look him up) we immediately knew he was the photographer we wanted. We loved his photos and style from the moment we saw them. Okay, so now fast forward to our big day. Jose was very punctual. In fact, he was there a couple hours earlier which made us feel at ease. Timing of photos was perfect and his vision is just so creative. Jose blended in as if he were family. He captured every single moment. We must admit some moments of our wedding were a blur, but when Jose sent us the photos we were able to relive that day. Jose is extremely talented and isn't your ordinary photographer. His shots are fun, energetic, emotional and filled with joy. His photos surpassed our expectations! We were even asked if we hired more than one photographer! He's so quick in shooting different angles you will think there is more than one photographer on site. His photos tell a story and the fact that he made our wedding day so special means EVERYTHING to us. He will deliver exactly what you want. This isn't his hobby. This is his life, his passion, his expertise. Jose we cannot thank you enough for contributing in making our day so perfect. Thank you for celebrating with us and capturing the moments we did not get to see as well as the moments we did see. We will cherish these photos forever.

    Jose is such an amazing photographed and he I also very personable, which was something I was really looking for. I could not ask for a better photographer who actually gets to know you and has such a passion for doing this! I love working with Jose and I cant wait to work with him more in the future !!! I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for someone who takes the time to get to know you and loves their job!

    Highly Recommend

    I would highly recommend anyone looking for a photographer to hire Jose. Jose was wonderful the day of, and I had multiple guests comment on how nice he was. I don't consider myself a very photogenic person, but Jose made the process easy. I received a USB with all of the photos within two weeks (much faster than I had anticipated) and the results are amazing. My family has commented that they have too many great pictures to pick from. To top it off, Jose's prices were the best I was able to find. Overall, Jose is wonderful to work with, takes beautiful photos, and is fairly priced.

    Talented and gracious- deserves 10 stars!

    I wish I could rate more than 5 stars for Jose! He is the best and we are so honored to have the pleasure of working with such talent!
    We had to find a new location for our engagement shoot the day before our appointment with Jose due to the week-long nonstop rain, even on the day of the shoot, it poured. My fiancé who's in the Navy flew in from San Diego for the shoot that weekend so we did not have the option to reschedule for a day later that week. We ended up choosing the beautiful Longwood Gardens as the alternate location. Jose was just so gracious and accommodating to our schedule despite the additional 1.5-2 hour commute- one way- to get to Longwood. He was so full of energy, upbeat and fun, which made us feel relaxed and comfortable from the beginning. He provided guidance on how to best position ourselves for certain pics- his eye for capturing detail, and beautiful scenery within each shot is just amazing! He climbed on rocks and in between bushes and trees to get that perfect angle! He worked efficiently and quickly to take as many outdoor photos as he could before the skies opened up. We all got drenched anyway and had a good laugh! Jose captured everything just perfectly, with a mix between posed and candid shots of us laughing, acting silly and just being ourselves. Thank you Jose! After seeing our engagement pics, we are absolutely certain we made the right choice of photographer to memorialize our wedding day!

    The last person to worry about on your big day!

    I am not just writing this review because I should. I am writing this review because it is well deserved. Jose, let's face it, is amazing! He is punctual, professional and listens to exactly what your vision is and captures it times 10! Our joke about Jose was you wont see him during your wedding because hes too busy hiding in a bush to capture "the" moment. You wont just have regular posey pictures you will have your moments captured. Jose felt like he was apart of our family and he honestly was the last person I had to worry about on a day that could be so stressful. We highly recommend Jose not just as a photographer but an artist.

    When we started looking for a photographer for our wedding we looked at a bunch of different websites to check out some of their work. We immediately fell in love with Jose’s style and knew he was the person we wanted to document our wedding day. Our phone conversations leading up to the big day were great. Jose made us feel very comfortable as we discussed all the details. We live in NC and our wedding was in PA so we met with him a few months before the wedding on location to go over timelines, shot locations, etc. He made sure that he knew exactly what pictures we wanted and what we were looking for. The day of the wedding Jose and his second photographer Jerry were everywhere capturing things we would never have even thought of. We even went offsite with our bridal party to take some shots. He kept us on schedule, and got some great shots that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. His photos are magical and we could not be more pleased with our decision to use JCA Photography. If you are having your wedding in the Poconos/North East PA/NJ/NY area do yourself a favor and check out his work at https://www.jca.photography/. You will fall in love just like we did. Jose, we cannot thank you enough!

    I recently had a small ceremony and wedding reception in the Poconos, and Jose was my photographer for the events.

    I live in California and planned my wedding from a distance, and I found Jose to be extremely responsive, organized and detailed. Planning an event without direct, local access to a venue or vendors can be difficult, but I had no issues at all communicating with Jose regarding my needs. We were able to put together a shot list and I had two phone calls with Jose before the trip, first as an intro and then to go over a timeline and what to expect. This really helped me to organize my wedding day as well!

    When the big day came, I met Jose in person for the first time and he was very easy to work with and helped make a crazy day so much fun. I received SO many comments from family after the event (before the pictures even came out) about what a great experience they'd had, how impressed they were with the pace of the photos, and how much effort Jose had taken to get the shots.

    I can't recommend Jose enough - and I could go on about my experience, but I will let the pictures speak for themselves! Amazing work and such talent!

    Jose arrived on time with amazing energy he was very flexible especially considering we were running behind. He kept busy exploring the area around the venue (since we weren't ready) finding the best places to take our photographs. He was well organized and adapted to the tone of our wedding. Jose was really knowledgable and easy going. To make things even better our photos were delivered super quick it gave me whiplash! We absolutely loved them and definitely recommend!

    Jose Almeida was the perfect choice for photographing our wedding day. He is a brilliant artist, dependable, and considerate. He has all of the right equipment to professionally capture the most important moments. He was always on time and organized every time we met in person or over the phone. He did a brilliant job of being reverent for an Orthodox Christian wedding– capturing the most important elements while not drawing attention to himself. We really appreciated how laid-back Jose was while maintaining a professional and relatable demeanor. We would highly recommend him!

    Jose has an incredible talent, and did an amazing job at our wedding this past April. We found him online and he was quick to respond, communicated clearly, and was very receptive to our requests and ideas. His photographs are amazing, and my wife and I couldn't be happier for all his help before and during our wedding. He used the landscape to frame beautiful shots, even in the wind and rain of the Poconos, and provided us a very nice mix of light and dark, black & white and color, and serious and funny photos from our big day. He got some great ones of our dog, too.

    Even when he had a family emergency pop up that potentially conflicted with our wedding date he went out of his way to arrange another local photographer as a stand-in, just in case he wasn't able to make it. He did make it, and we are so grateful for the time and effort he put in. I would recommend him to anyone without hesitation.

    Jose took our engagement photos and is planning to take our wedding photos next year! He is very talented and we really enjoyed the photos that he took for us. He worked with us very well and we got along great with him! He was even open to all of the photos that we really wanted that we showed him from Pinterest! We are super excited that he will be shooting our wedding photos!! We can't wait for him to join us in on our special day!

    Jose was a fantastic photographer for our engagement photo shoot and wedding. He has many qualities that make him both great to work with and a gifted photographer. Jose is a very pleasant person and laid back, which was especially important during all the stress of the wedding day. He has the ability to make you feel comfortable, which makes being photographed a lot more natural and fun. When my wife and I first met him, we were impressed with his attention to detail; our wedding ceremony was different than the norm, but Jose took time to look up details about the wedding service and talked with us to have a thorough understanding of how the day would go. Jose provides shot request lists which made it easy for both him and us to be on the same page in terms of what photos we really wanted to get. Jose was quick to respond via text or email and was willing to work around our schedules to do multiple pre-wedding meetings. Jose possesses a strong desire to have everything done right, and he is willing to go the extra mile to make sure you get the photographs you want.

    As a photographer, we were drawn to several aspects of his style. He isn't intrusive when taking pictures, but also does not hesitate to grab your attention if he sees a good shot to take. Another thing we liked about Jose is that he doesn't shy away from indoor shots. Many of the photographers we met were reluctant to work with some of our indoor requests. Jose was up to the challenge and produced many wonderful pictures without the need for natural outdoor light. Our outdoor pictures were fantastic too, but keep in mind that you need a photographer who can shoot any moment...and that's Jose. Another aspect of his style we enjoyed was Jose's eye for catching candid moments. He is good at spotting the beauty of a smile, a laugh, a tear.moments that just can't be posed.

    To sum up: Jose is professional, easy going, gives good structure if you need direction, and a fantastic photographer.

    If you are looking for a photographer that will capture all the moments you wished for and hundreds you didn't even think of, then I highly recommend Jose Almeida. He respects and understands the importance of his role. His presence is unobtrusive, yet friendly. And his eye for candid, beautiful moments is that of an eagle. If you are looking for a top notch photographer that is passionate about his art, then look no further. Jose Almeida is a true professional! My husband and I can't recommend him enough !

    Jose was easy to work with. He was on time for all of the events associated with the wedding.

    My husband and I hired Jose for our daughters wedding. He was easy to work with and very professional. His talent captures the moments of the day and you didn’t know he was there. The photo quality is astonishing

    Excellent experience: love his creativity and style

    Wonderful experience with Jose. He is creative, professional, hard working, easy to work with and very patient and nice. Couldn’t be happier with the pictures he took and the help with making an album. Worked hard to capture the love story of my son and his bride and created an album that reflects that cherished day.
