About This Vendor

Wedding Specialist!

Hello! Classic Photography has been shooting weddings professionally since the late 80's. It truly is my passion and every year I can't wait for the wedding season to begin. I'm very excited to welcome my daughter Madison into the family business. She brings some fresh insight and a creative spark and does an excellent job as a second shooter. Some exciting developments in my business is the capability for live feed to the web during the shoot. Ask me about this I will be happy to fill in the details. Check out my sample work and remember happy to travel anywhere in the US and no travel fee anywhere in Iowa!

I give 5 stars to our photographers and or videographer. They were so great to work with and made sure we maximized the snapshots of the day. We got some really fantastic and unique shots with them. Our DJ had some issues during the day: mult...

Jay was wonderful, professional, and fun! He had us laughing all day and captured our special day perfectly. He was also so quick to get us our photos back! Couldn’t have asked for a better photographer!

Jay is amazing! We planned our Iowa wedding from Denver and only met with Jay the one time. Not only was he familiar with the park I wanted my after ceremony photos taken, he had been there many times and they were amazing photos! We did not ...

feel feel pressured to book the most expensive package and were not talked into taking any photos we already decided we didn't want. I honestly do not remember seeing (or hearing) him during the ceremony, which made for some great photos! Although we only had 4 hours of time with Jay scheduled, he took around 400 photos which he emailed to us within 4 days of the wedding, and I love every photo! We highly recommend Jay and Classic Photography!

We were told he would have an assistant. Turned out to be teenage daughter that as far as I can tell did not take any photos just ate a $30 meal and decided to include herself in group photos of my cousins!
