We really love Jay's images! We spent a lot of time looking around and were almost settled on another photographer. Curiosity kept us looking and we ended up on Jay's website. We immediately fell in love with the colors and look his pictures have. Booked him a few days later and couldn't be happier with the images and the level of service! So many things went wrong (our fault since we decided to not go with a wedding planner) but Jay helped tremendously. He kept things moving and kept us from losing our minds! We never expected that from our photographer but it was great to have. Totally recommend Jay.
It was such a pleasure working with Jay. We chose him because we loved his images and his rates fit our budget perfectly. Because of the Covid lock down we had to reschedule our wedding date until 2021, but we still wanted to have a private ceremony with a couple of family members. Jay was very accommodating and was able to work with us on creating a safe, socially distanced, photoshoot during and after the ceremony. He's been very accommodating with our rescheduling, and has been supportive and reassuring as well. Great photography, and very professional. Hire him!!!
We discovered Jay through this site, and chose him because he had such great reviews. He was easy to work with and seemed pretty organized. He did our engagement shoot and our wedding. After the engagement shoot we were a little dissatisfied that there were not more photos up close. We discussed this desire for our wedding photos, and thought it would have been better the second time around. We sent Pinterest photos of ideas we wanted to capture and exact details of the people we wanted in our group photos. There were no questions to be asked because we had talked with him before the wedding.
We were even more unhappy with our wedding photos. There were almost none of us up close during the ceremony. All the photos originally provided included the guests heads and the bridal party. He did end up cropping a few, but they still weren’t great. He also provided several photos with my eyes closed walking down the isle after the ceremony! Our family photos also includes people with their eyes closed. And it’s not like we could have chosen another one, there was only one of each group of people.
The worst part was the ceremony. 90% of the pictures had a smudge blocking out half of the picture. When I asked what that was he said with was “prism” lighting and adds variety to the photo. More like his thumb print ruined the photo.
I addressed our concerns and he did make a few changes (cropping the ceremony photos), but eventually stopped replying to my emails.
I would never hire him again. We can’t get our wedding day back and we have about 20 photos we actually like.
Jay is amazing & his work is stunning!! If I could give 10 stars I would! My husband & I were so impressed with our engagement session & the photos. Neither of us had done any sort of photoshoot so we were completely clueless but Jay is so easy going, patient & professional that we quickly relaxed & trusted him completely! After that, we couldn't wait to see what work of art he could create on our big day. Day of, he exceeded any & all my expectations. He went above & beyond just to get the perfect shot! He made us (bridal party included) look & feel so glamorous & confident. His artistic style & eye for detail are truly reflected in his work. We even got to see a couple raw shots & I was already beyond impressed! I can't wait to see the finished product. Highly recommend Jay!
Ah, what can we say... how about, "Jay is the most amazing photographer ever!" Seriously, he went so far above our expectations, we couldn't have been happier.
My husband and I hired a day-of planner for budgeting reasons. Jay offered his help in creating a rough draft for our timeline. It turned out to work perfectly, and we kept it exactly how he presented it. During our wedding, he was reassuring and so professional. My family loved him, and kept saying how great a job I did at hiring him.
When we got our pictures, we were blown away! They look like they should be in a magazine!! Again, we could not be happier. We highly recommend using Jay as your wedding photographer. You won't regret it!
When I met Jay, I thought his photography was stunning - clearly a talented photographer with a unique eye. He saved my fiance and me from having to talk to yet another photographer. Luckily for me, Jay is also part wizard and somehow was able to produce some amazing engagement photos for us. Our all day adventure included three extremely unique locations, multiple wardrobe changes, and unique props like photography smoke!
PROFESSIONAL - Jay had a clear vision, which was great because I certainly didn’t. He took our vague ideas and made them real life awesome.
PATIENT - Jay was always ready for another shot, no matter how many times i closed my eyes at the wrong moment. And he was always open to any spur of the moment, spontaneous ideas that came up.
ACCOMMODATING - Jay was nice enough to do all the driving (he has awesome taste in music) and kept the atmosphere adventurous and fun the entire day.
Best of all, in addition to the incredible photography, we got a tremendous experience that we consider as special as the photos themselves. I can see myself working with Jay in the future for any big events that needs the perfect photographer. I highly recommend hanging out with Jay. Have him take some pictures too - you won’t regret it.
My fiancé and I wanted an engagement photographer who could be direct and take charge since neither of us know anything about photography. But at the same time, a photographer whose talent and experience could deliver our unarticulated, unrealized goal that at the time could only be described as, “unique, original, non-traditional and outside the box.”
Our search for an engagement photographer was exhausting. We attended multiple bridal bizarre functions, spent countless hours searching online and interviewed dozens of photographers. Meeting Jay at the beginning of the process would have saved us a great deal of time.
Jay’s fierce passion for photography immediately captivated us. His attention to detail and overall professionalism was on full display from day one. Yes, you expect professionalism from all your vendors, but Jay is beyond professional. Jay’s vision is dynamic – prompt, organized, responsive, encouraging, accommodating and full of unique ideas one would never consider possible. Which made the creative collaboration phase efficient, we had a plan after a few emails and phone conversations.
Most engagement shoots last an hour or two, sometimes longer depending on the couple. Jay was able to deliver this and so much more. He created an incredible day with many opportunities to portray different sides of us and stories within our relationship. That’s what an engagement photo shoot is all about—telling a story.
He devoted so much time to us, making sure we got everything we wanted and more—photos from different times of day, three unique settings, interior and exterior shots, multiple wardrobe changes and a variety of props. He is super organized and executed this elaborate jam packed itinerary so my fiancé and I could take a step back from the wedding planning process and be reminded of why we are getting married in the first place in a playful, stress-free way. This is why you need an expert.
His research and creativity along with his willingness to spend hours driving in a car for those “perfect locations” is true dedication. Jay is a passionate artist who is not only enthusiastic about being a great photographer but also about helping you realize your full potential. Jay’s expertise is going to translate into whatever your vision is but magnified with so much more. What we got from our engagement photos can best be described as “unbelievable.” We are forever grateful to him for capturing our love in photos in a way no one else could.

We were very pleased to have Jay as our photographer for our special day and can definitely say he was our favorite vendor to work with! Much more than just our photographer for the day, he was able to capture beautiful shots without drawing the whole process out, allowing my husband and I to focus on actually enjoying our wedding day! Ensuring to maximize the time we had set aside for photos, he also let us know of small opportunities he saw for other photos throughout the day. As I played out the typical role of the anxious bride, stressing over every little detail, Jay was very reassuring and really just a pleasure to have around all day! Of course, the photos were beautiful! We would definitely consider Jay as our photographer for our next life event and recommend him to anyone looking for a truly talented artist!
We are so happy that we chose to go with Jay for our engagement/wedding photos! My fiance (husband now) usually hates taking photos but Jay captured the most perfect photos. We loved that some of the photos that he took were very creative and original. He's professional, very easy to work with and will try his best to get the best shot according to your preferences. I've already recommended him to two of my newly engaged friends!
Jay was simply the best we could have asked for. After meeting with several photographers, my husband and I felt he was the only one who would really go the extra mile to capture his images. We were absolutely correct! My husband and I are always so awkward in pictures, and that was one of my biggest worries about our wedding photos. Jay managed to make us feel super relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera. We were able to have fun and open up, and it really showed in the final results! The photos are spectacular and truly encapsulate the essence of our special day.
Jay was a pleasure to work with. He is incredibly professional, timely, attentive, and accommodating. He knows how important a role he plays, takes it seriously, and it’s clear that he truly loves what he does. There is no one I would have rather had capturing our wedding. Without hesitation, I highly recommend Jay Resh Photography to any couple!!
Working with Jay was an absolute pleasure. If I had to pick a favorite vendor for my wedding, it was hands down Jay. From our first call, Jay answered all my questions and was so generous with his time. He was the first photographer I contacted and despite looking into others after, I knew immediately that I wanted to work with him.
Jay is an extraordinary artist. His work is unique, and the images he creates are truly one of a kind. I’ve seen many professional wedding photos, and I know that mine are truly exclusive thanks to Jay’s artistry. Jay has an eye for creating distinctive pieces of art that go beyond just capturing the people and objects in the photo.
In addition to his talent, Jay is a very professional and nice person. This combination is so difficult to find, and I feel very fortunate to have found it in Jay.
I am a pretty conscientious and detail-oriented person, and so finding someone who was so attentive and answered all my questions as they came up and addressed my concerns greatly reduced my wedding stress. Working with Jay was a highlight of the wedding process for me!
Looking for a photographer was a huge headache for us. We had specific expectations that we were worried wouldn't fit into our budget. We found Jay and expressed our wants and worries. He went above and beyond to help us make the right choices, not only with photos, but with so many other aspects as well. He gave us great advice on scheduling and options.
The pictures of course were the best part of the experience. We knew they would be great, but had no idea how great they would be! We highly recommend Jay if you're looking for amazing images without having to mortgage your house to pay for it!!
