J&J Studios, LLC.

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.

ery 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!!

ant 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!!

ntive 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.

riceless 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!!!

tic shots as well as formal portraits. They proactively communicated to ensure everything was in place for the wedding.

ally 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.

otographs 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!

the entire process and helped us stay at ease. I would recommend them to anyone looking for photography/videography services for their event!

th them for a long time.

family pictures in the future. Highly recommended for any occasion. Also so helpful with posing and helping us to create amazing moments!

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!

definitely recommend.

ly two hours he captured photos of nearly everyone at our event and produced awesome work. Highly recommend!

es 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

deas.

hem 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

ant 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.

e seeking professional photos for their special day!

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 !

nical 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.

s 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!
