We couldn’t be happier with our engagement photo shoot experience with J&J Studios!
The session was fun, relaxed, and natural — even for two people who aren’t usually in front of the camera. John gave great direction while letting genuine moments unfold, and it shows in the photos.
We’re so grateful to John and J&J Studios for capturing such a special chapter in our lives. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and personable photographer in Philadelphia!
Very professional and accommodating! All our pictures turn out beautifully and amazing. We had J&J did our pre-wedding photos. We are using them again for our wedding.
We thoroughly enjoyed working with John, Vanessa, and their team! They are incredibly talented and create beautiful work. They worked with us for our engagement pictures and the photography and videography for our wedding day. They helped keep us on time with our wedding timeline and ensured each special moment was captured. Our wedding pictures, videos, and album were stunning and we'll forever cherish them!
Our daughter in law and son used J and J for the wedding. The photographers were very professional and organized and the quality of their work was superb. We were very very happy with the photos
John Ryan and Vanessa are outstanding! We had a perfect engagement shoot with them thanks to their attention to detail and creative direction. Hands down will recommend J&J to all our friends and family! They just did our rehearsal dinner and wedding as well and we could not be more thrilled with everyone at J&J Studios! We are so grateful to be a part of the J&J Studios family.
J&J Studios is the best in the business! Our wedding photos and videos are absolutely stunning! The team was professional and responsive during the entire process. We couldn’t have been more pleased on our special day. Family and friends are still talking about our stellar photography and videography teams.
As a same sex couple, we felt comfortable and safe. We highly recommend J&J for all engagement and wedding photos especially if quality and inclusivity is important to you.
Wow wow and wow!!! Unbelievably talented and so professional from the beginning to the end. John and Vanessa were absolutely amazing and we couldn’t be happier with all the memories and pictures. They came to the hotel on time and were always very personal and fun. John impressed us from the start when we first contacted the team, and after our engagement shoot, my husband and I knew we made the best choice for our photo-video team. Everyone in my wedding party and my family are blown away. The pictures tell a story and seeing them again make us feel like we are reliving every moment. Just amazing!!
Saying I feel blessed I found John and Vanessa to capture our wedding day is an understatement! I was so nervous about finding a photographer because they are the ones who provide you with the life long memories of your wedding and I did not want to regret who I picked. If I had to do it all over again, I would pick J&J Studios in a heartbeat!
Here is my advice to any future couple considering J&J:
1: Do not consider ... just book, you will not regret it!
2: If you have questions or concerns, send them an e-mail and they will get back to you under 24 hours. John is so thorough and detailed but we all have questions/concerns and he never made me feel like I was annoying when I would reach out and ask things.
3: Take advantage of their engagement shoot!! I was not going to because my husband proposed in Jamaica and our resort did a free engagement session. We did not think we needed the additional photos, however, my sister talked me in to doing it and it was the best thing we could have done! This gave us the opportunity to work with John and his assistant in person prior to the big day. Doing so was a wonderful icebreaker making us all comfortable with one another and putting my nerves at ease.
4: CHOOSE VIDEOGRAPHY!! Another thing I was going to pass on, but had several family members tell me I would regret it. I FOR SURE WOULD HAVE! I have watched the video hundreds of times and still cry. Plus, the editing blew every single person away who has watched it. Words really cannot describe how amazing the video turned out!
We are so overly grateful for John and his team. They blended right on in with my loud and crazy family, they were patient with me when I had a little meltdown in the heat and needed a break, they ensured they captured all the photos I asked of them, they were accommodating with my multiple first looks (I come from a broken family and have two sets of parents and had two MOH), they helped create a seamless timeline so the day did not get away from us, and most importantly, they delivered the photos and video quickly despite how busy I know they have been! Bottom line is, you can tell John and Vanessa are in this industry because it is their PASSION and not a paycheck. From the beginning to the end, they made us feel special and beautiful. THANK YOU!!
J&J were fantastic and we are so happy with our decision to go with them for photo and video. They listened to exactly what we wanted and went above and beyond to capture amazing photos of our wedding. They were organized, friendly, and so attentive to every photo we wanted to capture. John, Denida, and Eric were a phenomenal photo team that made the day go so smoothly. Vanessa was able to capture great video as well. Do yourselves a favor and hire J&J... you won't be disappointed.
J&J Studios are absolutely amazing! My fiancé who is now my wife was well pleased during our photoshoot. They were very professional, warm, and accommodating. I would recommend J&J Studios to any one who wants to capture timeless moments and priceless memories.
My wife and I love the outcome of our photos and the additional short film that came with our package. We couldn't have been more pleased. Simply Incredible!!!
What an Amazing photo shoot with J&J Studios in Montgomery County. We are extremely pleased with our Engagement session. Additionally, we were able to incorporate a special moment to reflect our loved one which will always be in our hearts!
Highly recommend J&J Studios to capture your big day. John made our engagement session very easy and helped us to get comfortable in front of the camera. Our wedding photos turned out amazing! John and his team were creative and took some artistic shots as well as formal portraits. They proactively communicated to ensure everything was in place for the wedding.
Wish I could give John and his team MORE stars!! Let's start by saying we got married on 11/14 - and had our photos by Thanksgiving (wow!)
Every step of the process John was an absolute pleasure to work with. He notes that his usual response time is within 24 hours of sending your email, but I don't think 24 hours ever went by before I had a reply when it came to our planning process. Every question we had regarding pricing, style, venue choices, engagement photos, etc- he held our hands and approached us with grace. When it came to our engagement shoot - John approached the session the same way. What started out as my husband and I feeling awkward and uncertain with how to interact for the camera, ended with us feeling more confident. I will say this, even if John tells you to do a pose that seems like it would look weird - just do it - it'll look great - he's got a vision.
Having people that are able to make you feel comfortable so you don’t fret about their role, is huge. The morning of my wedding, the bridal party and I were running a bit behind schedule and the J&J team not only worked around us to get the shots that were needed, but executed our group photos efficiently and with such precision. Even though I was stressed, I remember our “first look” felt intimate, special and like everything we had hoped for. Not once did the team rush us to get the next photo in, but they certainly used every second of those moments to shoot. It was as we wrapped the “first look” when John turned to us and said “we’re pretty much back on track; we really made up the time,” that I realized how much our photography team had our backs and would make sure nothing was missed. What was a small comment in passing, that made me so thankful I chose J&J. The trust established in that moment really set the tone for the rest of the day with their team - and it was very freeing. Not only is John and his team immensely talented (I mean have you seen his IG?!?!), but his professionalism and client management is what sets him apart.
Lastly, since I know this is an important question for many: The team got every single shot possible (from multiple angles), but never interrupted the event. The team blended in with the festivities and never felt like they were blocking us or guests from being involved. Because we had been short on time before the wedding started, John and the team figured out how to get those details shots like our rings, without pulling us away; they simply approached us while we were on the dance floor for the rings and got what they needed (of course returned promptly). For some of the night shots and artistic portraits, if there was ever a moment my husband and I weren't immediately engaged with someone or dancing, they'd pull us aside for 3 minutes max, to get their shots, and then we were right back to the wedding.
Clearly I loved working with their team. Just book- you won't be sorry.
Wow wow wow! Hiring J&J was the best decision we made as a couple when planning our wedding. John is so responsive. You can send him an email and expect a response within minutes. The quality of their work is superb. We reached out to J&J literally 2 months before our wedding ceremony in September 2020 and luckily learned that John and his team were available. He walked us through his reasonable and very worth it packages and we decided what worked for us. Given the complexities of planning a Covid wedding, John agreed to split the 14 hour coverage into two days (7 hours in 2020 for the ceremony and 7 hours in 2021 for the reception). J&J was not only super responsive to us when communicating, but super punctual and beyond professional. From our engagement photos on the beach to the picture perfect photos of our ceremony to the stunning shots taken at our reception, we're blown away with the work John and his team do. Thanks so much for making our wedding special and capturing everything. We're honored to be a part of the J&J family.
John and his team are the best! They are very professional, and made sure to get all the right shots! I highly recommend them!
I have been a bridesmaid in a few weddings in the Philly area, and I can confidently say no one beats John & Vanessa. They are professional -- John is organized, easy to communicate with, and is transparent about prices/packages. Our wedding photographs were a perfect mix of editorial and authentic, making sure to capture all our moments! Moreover, they pay attention to the little details; they are always prepared with supplies (like command hooks for my dress); and they offer some direction when taking photos (which not all photographers do!). I really can't recommend them enough!
John, Vanessa, and their team are super talented. I am so glad we booked with them for our wedding and engagement shoot. The photos turned out fabulous. We cannot wait until the big reveal to see everything. They were all so professional during the entire process and helped us stay at ease. I would recommend them to anyone looking for photography/videography services for their event!
I’ve worked with John and Vanessa for the past 4 years and they are wonderful people. Always fair and never cut corners. They work really hard and treat each wedding as if it was their own. I love working with them and I hope to keep working with them for a long time.
So happy I went with J&J Studios. Absolutely amazing to work with, were flexible with our wedding timeline as plans changed due to the location and venue and captured all the moments we were looking for. They will be our go to for professional family pictures in the future. Highly recommended for any occasion. Also so helpful with posing and helping us to create amazing moments!
My husband did a lot of research on photographers for our engagement shoot last year and loved the work of J&J Studios. We had a great experience with our engagement shoot. Our pictures were received back so fast and in such amazing quality we were in awe. Our wedding pictures were phenomenal and so were our maternity pictures. John and Vanessa are so professional and fun to work with we found our forever photographer!
John was great! He made the experience of taking pictures a lot more enjoyable than you would expect. Our photos turned out great! He was responsive from the first email I sent until the very end of the process and getting our pictures. I would definitely recommend.
We hired John for our rehearsal dinner after seeing him at a few of our friends rehearsal dinners & weddings. Even though we postponed our wedding and moved venues, John was accommodating, professional, timely and a pleasure to work with. In only two hours he captured photos of nearly everyone at our event and produced awesome work. Highly recommend!
Our Anniversary Photo shoot was scheduled months in advance but, mother nature had her own plans and decided to send snow and rain and sleet. But, that did not stop J&J Studios.
The Nor'easter came strong, but it created even greater pictures and the creativity and beauty that was captured with each photo was truly breathtaking.
We had a truly memorable photo shoot and everybody was truly positive and went above and beyond to ensure we captured the perfect photo. Every image was able to show our true love for each other and the passion that J&J Studios showed during the crazy weather is further proof that this is the best place to go to create memories that will last forever
Everything was amazing the photos turned out fantastic. Everyone that helped was super nice and helpful with whatever you needed. Great communication throughout the whole process. John always has great ideas and always willing to go with your ideas.
J&J Studios were the perfect match for our wedding! They captured every single detail, moment & more! John and Vanessa are the greatest team. They made every step of the process enjoyable and memorable.
Some of the top reasons for selecting them for our big day was their talent! Their work speaks for itself and we definitely recommend them! I remember when we first met them for our engagement shoot. Sean just got off of work from an overnight shift and I was nervous. They made us both feel relaxed and we captured so many great moments! Our wedding day was more than perfect! They are so organized (even more so than me!) They kept us on track and were all so easy going. A majority of the time, I did not even realize they were around filming and taking pictures!
We highly recommend them for any occasion and cannot wait to use them again when baby HQ comes!
Dana & Sean
I highly recommend John and his company to any couple getting married during these unusual times. John made it clear that he was a creative professional from our first consultation. We were asking for something very unusual: Not only did we want to broadcast out our wedding to guests, we also wanted our parents to be able to give blessings and for readings to be given. I had consulted with several other vendors and none of them had any idea how to make this happen and the only other one who was willing to even consider it didn't have the equipment. John brainstormed with us and made the wedding day really, really special. John worked with the synagogue where we got married to make sure that the stream would be exceptionally high quality. The only technical issues we ran into were due to people having different names than expected, which was in no way something that John or I could have predicted. The photographer who was there with John made sure we got every picture we could possibly want and had great suggestions for the few non-candid shots we wanted. John even had the pictures processed within less than 26 hours. The pictures did an amazing job of reflecting our joy and love on that day. We are so grateful to John and the people who work for him for making our wedding so special despite COVID-related restrictions and difficulties.
J&J are the best!! We are so happy with how gorgeous and fast our engagement photos came back! We can’t wait to continue services at our wedding!
We have had nothing but positive experiences with John & his staff throughout our pre-wedding process. Communication and professionalism are unmatched along with the impeccable quality of our photos. We highly recommend J&J Studios to any couple seeking professional photos for their special day!
John is AMAZING. We reached out to him during corona virus which led us to a zoom call - honestly you wouldn’t have even realized you weren’t right there in office with him !his organization and presentation sold us. He is organized down to a t! Our engagement photos were taken in 90+ degree weather in philly. When I say hot. I mean HOT. Sweat dripping - everything. John was awesome, every picture turned out amazing you couldn’t even tell it was scorching, I am very organized and love lists and john is the same way ! I am so confident my wedding will big beyond smoothly with the help and detail john has. He’s beyond amazing and so easy to get along with. No matter what questions I have I know I can reach out to john and I will have a response in a timely manner! Working with him has made being a corona bride a little less stressful and I can’t not thank him enough !
J&J is really the best and we are so glad we chose them for our wedding (and engagement photo shoot). They are artists who take extreme pride in their work, and they caught so many beautiful moments that others would not have the vision or technical skill to capture. It rained on our wedding day and so we were worried about how the footage might turn out, but John and Vanessa delivered stunning photos and a lovely wedding trailer. They also really took the time to get to know us as a couple and to understand what was important to us. They were always professional, punctual, attentive, and accommodating (we had a few schedule changes and they never complained). Absolutely recommend, it would be hard to imagine a better choice than J&J for such an important life moment.
I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about John and his work. When my husband and I got engaged, one of the first things we did was seek out a photographer. The photos were one of the most important aspects of the experience for us. Photos have always covered our home and we knew we needed John to shoot our day when we saw his work- the editing details, the angles and relaxed nature of his work was very appealing to us. John is extremely professional, detail oriented. thoughtful and a true joy to be around. I was nervous going into our engagement shoot, but John made us feel right at home, and as close to "models" as possible, he captured our love so well and we love looking at our engagement photos. From all over Rittenhouse Square on a chilly October night, to John's ability to pivot quickly when our wedding changed venues less than 40 days out this September, he has been a constant for us! He kept us on track, always provided thoughtful suggestions and really listened to my husband and I about what we wanted. On the day of the wedding, John and his team did not disappoint. They got to work right away and at moments I forgot they were there! My guests also commented on the professionalism of the team and how they were able to capture the happiest day in a very long day, and of our life's, so wonderfully. I am gushing over the photos and just cannot recommend J&J Studios enough. John gave us a sneak peak the night of our wedding of some pics he snapped and we were floored, again, by his work and thoughtfulness. I don't know anyone else who got to see even one picture the night of their wedding, let alone multiple! Our home is now coated with John's work from two of the happiest days of our life. If you are even considering hiring John for any special event in your life, do not hesitate for one moment. He is truly a wonderfully talented photographer and pleasure to be around. Thank you for everything John! We can't wait to have you capture more of our memories in life!
John and Vanessa were both professional and flexible. They provided top notch customer service before, during and after the shoot, and the products they delivered (photos and highlight video) were absolutely gorgeous. Everyone who has seen their photos and video of us has been completely blown away. They were even willing to accommodate my fiancé's changes to the engagement plan in the hours leading up to the shoot, all to preserve the surprise! All around awesome service!
John is amazing! We decided to use the engagement shoot included in our wedding day package last minute for our elopement. With less than 24 hours notice, John was there to capture our moment. He was very professional, and made sure to get all the right shots. We had our pictures back the next day, and I am still in awe of how beautiful they were. Highly recommend working with this team— can’t wait to see what they do on our big wedding day in July!
John, Vanessa and their team did an amazing job on our photos! They arrived day of and were timely, efficient, charismatic AND got every shot we could’ve dreamed of!! Our wedding photos look like something out of a fairytale! They also were amazing in getting our photos back to us in a timely manner considering our move out of state too!! We could not be happier!!!!
My fiance and I have been searching for a photographer for our engagement photos and J&J studios was an excellent fit! John and Vanessa were very responsive with their messaging and we were able to easily pick a date and time that fit our schedules. They were incredibly accommodating (they even changed the time for our shoot the evening prior). When we were shooting, they were great at giving direction and had creative ideas for pictures. The turn-around time was incredibly fast! We received our pictures within the same weekend of our shoot. We loved how our photos came out and would 100% recommend this studio for engagements or any other event you need.
From our first meeting with John & Venessa, we knew we wanted them to be a part of our day. They were professional, excited to actually get to know us as a couple, and help us plan out our day. During our engagement shoot they made us feel comfortable and relaxed as we all laughed through the afternoon. Now that our wedding photos are out, the only thing we keep hearing from friends is "Oh my gosh, your photos are incredible!" Overall, J&J Studios were great communicators, accommodating, organized, and made us feel special throughout the whole experience. Don't hesitate, book them!
This is an edit to our review. My husband had hired John and Vanessa for our engagement, and it was awesome. People are still talking about how beautiful the engagement pictures were. They have different packages to suit your needs (Photography and/or Video Services). We were so happy with our engagement photos, that we wanted John and Vanessa to also do our wedding. From the very beginning they are with you step by step and will answer any questions that you may have (and trust me we had a lot!). John helped us create our perfect wedding timeline and allowed some time for any surprises that might have come up. On our wedding day, they kept us on time to make sure we would be able to get the most photos we could of our special day (I have to say we were ahead of schedule). Even with our wedding mishaps (flowers taken to venue instead of hotel, groomsmen needing to run out to do some shopping and change of bridal suite at last minute) John and Vanessa were very patient and worked with us to make sure everything was going smoothly. We cannot WAIT to see our wedding photos. If you are in need of a photographer/videographer who are creative, professional and good at what they do look no further. John and Vanessa of J&J Studios will not disappoint.

John and Vanessa from J&J Studios were wonderful. I was surprised by my now Fiancé with his proposal after our romantic valentines dinner. They were very professional and made sure we were comfortable and captured every special moment of this amazing night. The pictures were amazing. I highly recommend J&J Studios for your special moment.
John and Vanessa are fantastic at what they do. Well prepared, patient, and talented! Their nifty changing pods and ability to cart around a plethora of photography equipment to four different locations all the while being super easygoing was great. And best of all we Loved our engagement pictures! I would highly recommend this professional and talented duo.
J&J Studios did a phenomenal job with our photo shoot and capturing precious memories with our friends! John and Vanessa went above and beyond to capture various angles and poses that turned the simple park we took photos in, into a truly magical escape. The photos came out beyond perfect. They were also extremely professional, timely, and accommodated all of our requests. You will be beyond satisfied if you choose their services!
John Ryan of J&J Studios has done multiple series of headshots for our employees at Angeion Group. He is professional, arrives on time, and is a pleasure to work with. He makes the process of getting a head shot taken very easy with clear instructions for poses and positioning. John likes to check in during the photoshoot to ensure that the individual being photographed can see how the photos are turning out. After the photos are taken, we receive a link to the photos online by the next day. The website J&J uses is very easy to navigate and makes the process of selecting favorites very easy. Our team is able to provide feedback through the website and then we receive the final edited photos after a day or two. The process is quick and easy! We really enjoy working with John and will continue to do so for our corporate headshot needs!
John and Vanessa shot our reception. Our pictures were amazing. Working with J&J was an amazingly professional and pleasant experience from start to finish. Offered so many options and allowed us to be a part of it all. Highly recommend J&J.
John and Vanessa are the best! We used them for our engagement photos and they were amazing! The pictures were very creative and we had a great time taking them. We’ve had so many compliments on our pictures and we received the pictures very quickly which we were happy about. I would absolutely recommend!
We used J&J for our rehearsal dinner in Philly on 9/13. They were great! Prompt and we got our pictures the next day. How amazing!!! Super reasonable compared to some other outlandish quotes I got in the area. So please - over 5 of my friends have used them!
John and Vanessa is the best choice for wedding photography and videography. They provide such beautiful work with an abundance of professionalism. With full preparation prior to our event, they knew exactly how and where to take our beautiful portrait shots without any wasted time.
With one of the most important events in ones life, I would not hesitate on selecting J&J Studios as my photo&video vendor!
John, Vanessa, and their crew were amazing. We knew after our awesome engagement shoot that we found the right photographer to capture our day, and we could not have been happier. Our wedding day went so smoothly and they were able to help us map out the perfect day and the perfect pictures to capture it. To say we are excited to see our finished product is an understatement! We can’t recommend them enough!
A wonderful experience with extraordinary photos that captured tender moments of love, fun, and treasured magic throughout the day. With each viewing of our photos, we transcend back to our special day and smile joyfully. The professional care and skills of the team truly made it all sparkle.
One of the best photographers I’ve worked with hands down. Professional, fun, creative- the best combination of things when looking for a photographer. Would recommend again and again! Xoxoxo

We have had several photo shoots with John for modeling portfolio and the pictures are absolutely amazing. John is so easy to work with and I was very comfortable. I can't wait until I can work with him again!
J&J did our photo shoot for my surprise engagement. My fiancé booked him from NJ and John automatically put him at ease about the situation. John made the booking and set up easy, even all the way from Northern NJ. The weather wasn’t the best that night, but John was able to take some of the best pictures of our engagement I’ve ever seen. He made us feel comfortable and I loved getting to work with him. We had an online Skype session to look over our pictures and J&J was an amazing experience from start to finish!
The team at J&J Studios is top notch! Our Photos were absolutely stunning! John was punctual and instrumental to keeping us on track throughout the wedding so that we capture our most precious moments. If you are looking for professional and talented this is your team. J&J studios added the magic to our special day!
