    I am absolutely obsessed with our photos, and we haven't even done our wedding photos yet! Our engagement photos turned out amazing! My fiancé is not a picture taking sort of guy, yet Justin was able to make us both feel comfortable, and it really shows in the pictures. He captured our personalities and relationship perfectly!

    Justin with Open Door Photography is absolutely amazing! His talent and eye for beautiful photographs are one of a kind! He makes you feel so comfortable and has a very carefree and fun personality. I would recommend him to literally ANYONE! He sent me teaser photos from my wedding almost immediately and I absolutely cannot wait to see the rest! I will probably want to frame all of them, which means I am going to have zero wall space! But I am a very happy lady!!

    Justin & Katie were amazing... Besides being so much fun they were professional and they scouted out the perfect spot for all the pictures. As the Mother of the Bride I fell in love with both of them from the moment we met, they made everyone feel so special. I could not have asked for a better photographer than these two they are worth every penny. I would highly recommend them to anyone. :)

    Justin and his team were highly professional and great to work with. The way he captured each and every moment was perfect and beautiful. Highly recommend Open Door Photography! We are using him again at another family wedding next year!

    I do not have enough good things to say about Justin, Katie, and the rest of the team. From engagement to wedding photos, Justin did an amazing job keeping us comfortable and at ease. He made sure to listen to what was important to us, and even had some examples from my Pinterest board saved (which was SO helpful!! When you're in all the excitement of your wedding day, you're not going to remember a pose you liked 4 months ago)

    Our photos turned out so much better than we ever could of imagined. Even our wedding party kept commenting about how much fun we had! No more 30+ minutes of stiff boring photos.

    Basically If you are looking for someone(s) to not only capture real, beautiful moments but also become a friend....these are your people. Wedding planning can be really stressful and somewhat chaotic... Justin and Katie (and the rest of their team) are a stress free no brainer.

    Absolutely amazing! Justin photographed our wedding last month and the pictures came back phenomenal. I'm always one to fret about how I look in pictures, but every one of these I'm super happy with. Right off the bat he put us at ease during the engagement shoot. He sat and talked with us for a while just to break the ice, very easy to talk to. He's got an eye for nailing the perfect shot, using the sun and the location on the fly to compose the pictures. During the wedding he was very organized, knew every combination of every relative to get together, had some cool ideas for the first look, and caught a lot of great candid moments like me playing with the dogs in my tux. I'm so glad we got a great photographer for our big day, because I'm going to be looking at these photos for the rest of my life. If any of my friends are going to be getting married in the future, I'm going to highly recommend Justin. Not just a great photographer, but a great person. Five Stars all around

    Nick and I were not excited about being behind a camera for our engagement / wedding photos but Justin and Katie helped us to feel very comfortable and at ease . With all their wedding experience , they kept everything on schedule and helped us know where to be when. They tailored their service to meet our needs and really captured the vibe of our special day .

    We could not have been more pleased with our wedding photographs! The Open Door Photography team and Justin Jacobs are highly recommended by us. They went above and beyond to deliver us amazing photos and were very personable and easy to work. We are so thankful to have the services of Open Door Photography!

    We were blessed to have Justin & Patrick as our photographers last weekend for our wedding at Santa Margarita Ranch, as well as Matthew for videography. What an amazing team. They made all of us feel at ease and comfortable immediately. Their attention to detail was incredible and it is easy to tell how much they love what they do. They were genuine, friendly and such a warm presence to be around. My personal favorite was our first look, which they perfectly set up for some amazing photos and yet it still felt like such an intimate moment for us. All of our family and friends were in awe of the photos shown at the reception and couldn't help but ask "Who are your photographers?!? They are amazing!" After looking back at our photos, we are in love with every single one of them. They captured the magic of our day in every shot and from the smiles, the flowers, and the sunset to the beginning of our happily ever after, we couldn't have captured these memories without them. THANK YOU to Justin, Patrick and Matthew for helping to make our day all we imagined it could be. There aren't enough words to express our gratitude.

    We worked with Justin, Patrick and Caitlin, whom are fantastic. They really are true professions, but what really solidified it for us was, when we saw their work at another friends wedding. They're friendly, thoughtful, always flexible, give you every single detail and want to do the best job for you. They were an extension of our bridal party and it felt natural to have them there on our day. The pictures came out incredible on both our engagement shoot and the wedding and very different styles, so they're not a one trick pony type of team. Patrick, is amazing and has an incredible eye for what looks good.

    Open Door was the PERFECT choice to photograph our wedding. I had met Justin and Josh at my cousin’s wedding and knew right away by their personalities and professionalism that I needed to have them at my wedding. Justin shot our engagement pics, and they were truly magical. He went above and beyond to get the perfect shots. He was sweating in the sun, getting dirty in the sand, and even got his pants wet so that he could get the perfect shots for us. Needless to say they are hanging up all over our house now.

    Justin and Josh showed up early to capture all the pre-wedding pampering and visited the men’s suite as well. The shots were so attention to detail, things that I would want to remember 40 years from now. Once again, Justin and Josh were going above and beyond getting amazing shots with perfect angles with the sunlight and surrounding flowers. I did not even notice they were there shooting pictures during the ceremony, they were stealth! During the ceremony, reception, dinner, and dance party, they captured everyone that attended. It was nice to see a good mix of everyone, not just the super loud or super obnoxious. Our proofs came out amazing, even made me tear up. I would hands down recommend Open Door, not only is their company so good at what they do and their knowledge of their camera systems so advanced, they are truly great souls. Always laughing and doing their best to make our day special.

    Justin!! Oh my goodness. These guys are fantastic. They are a lot of fun to work with, and will make your day extremely relaxing and stress free. They took photos for almost 12 hours the day of our wedding!!! One thing our guests really liked, they put together a "teaser" slideshow and show it at the reception! How great is that!?

    Thank you guys for doing such an amazing job!!

    Words simply cannot express how awesome Justin and his team were for us before, during and after the big day. His understanding of exactly what we wanted is prescribed with each and every photo's final detail. Thank you Justin and Open Door Photography. It was beautiful.

    Words cannot describe the awesomeness of open door photography. Justin shot our engagements and wedding, captured every essence we hoped we could on film. Super funny and great hearted person to work with. Went above and beyond for our special day. Even with a panicked running late bride they helped keep my cool pre ceremony and had a blast the rest of the night with their photo crew :) if you need photos these are the guys for the job for sure! Love them!!

    I absolutely love open door photography! Clay and Justin took my engagement photos over a year ago and I received so many great comments about the pictures which made me confident that I chose the right photographers for the big day. I just recently had my wedding and couldn't believe the type of service my husband and I were given. They made us feel that the whole day revolved around us and kept reminding us to stop worrying about day of details and to just enjoy the party. My guests and I could not believe that the pictures that were taken day of were already uploaded and used as a slide show during our reception. During the whole reception everyone would stop dancing and check out the beautiful photos on the projection screen. It was such a nice touch for the wedding. I 100% recommend the guys from open door photography they were funny, professional, great listeners, and overall incredibly talented photographers!

    Justin Jacobs and the staff of Open Door Photography were such a Blessing to our daughter's wedding. She was so nervous and Justin knew just what to do to make her day amazing. The crew was so professional and went above what any vendor would do to make sure everything was perfect. I have four more children to get married and I know that Open Door will be sharing each one of these celebrations with us. Thank you Justin for making the memories come alive everytime we look at the pictures of the that Blessed day.
