About this vendor
I started jBagz Photography in 2008 after becoming a Certified Professional Photographer at Boston University. I specialize in weddings and portraiture. My main focus is perfecting my images in post-production and bringing images to life. Having fun is the key to acquiring real smiles and that's why I love my job so much. I have creative, new ideas for developing beautiful photographs. My work has been described as fresh, untraditional, and lively by clients that have become some of my favorite people on this planet.
I don't prefer to force folks to pose. I'd rather capture the moments they aren't aware they're laughing at how "silly" they feel having their picture taken, and all the while the warm sun is gleaming through the willow trees behind them, silhouetting their profiles laughing. It's just another beautiful candid shot.

We couldn’t be happier with our wedding photos and video! From start to finish, our photographer and videographer went above and beyond to capture every moment of our special day. ...
With over 1,500 stunning photos, we have an incredible mix of fun, candid shots and beautifully composed images that truly tell the story of our wedding. The video is absolutely breathtaking—it allows us to relive the emotions, joy, and love of that day as if it just happened. Even months later, we still find ourselves going through the pictures and feeling every moment all over again. Thank you for giving us memories we will cherish forever!
Jay is amazing! She did such an amazing job on our engagement photos and we so wish she could have been there on our wedding day. The photographers that she had shoot our big day w...
ere amazing. Chris and Danielle were so awesome to work with and captured the true essence of our love and our big day. Jake who videoed our wedding was also amazing to work with! He seemed to capture everything throughout the day and I cannot wait to see how the video comes out.
We got our photos back this past weekend, and haven't stopped looking at them or gushing over them. J is an incredible photographer. She captured the essence of the day perfectly...
. We had a laid back, backyard wedding, and didn't want anything to feel too stuffy or choreographed. All of that shown through in the pictures, along with all the intimate details we really cared about. As a self-proclaimed "unphotogenic" person - J managed to get incredible shots of my husband and I. She was easy to work with, relaxed, and a total go with the flow photographer. I've been in so many friends weddings where it felt like orders were being barked at us, but not with J. She also kept her calm knowing that we had a HUGE wedding party, and managed to get incredible photos of all the groomsmen and bridespeople. We are over the moon thrilled with her photos and cannot wait to share them with friends and family.
This review is LONG overdue. I had the pleasure of working with Jay and Mark for my wedding this past March 2017. I first got to see Jay's work when she did my friend's wedding and...
I was so in awe of her photos that I knew we had to work with her for our wedding. The first time we met with Jay was for our engagement shoot and instantly we loved her. She made us so comfortable and our photos came out incredible! They were exactly what I had envisioned in my head. It was so great to feel no worry about our photos going into our wedding day; I knew Jay would crush it. And no surprise, she did. I had a huge bridal party and Jay and Mark effortlessly made sure to keep everyone organized and on time. When I got my photos back I was just so happy to see that Jay had captured so many incredible moments of our wedding. From beginning to end, working with Jay was easily one of the best experiences I had during my wedding. To be honest, she's so cool I actually wish she could have been at guest at our wedding too lol! Jay, thank you doesn't even begin to encompass how grateful James and I were to have worked with you. We were so lucky to find you! And to everyone who is debating on who to book as your photographer--look no further. You found her right here!! 5 plus stars :)
We are so lucky to have worked with J for our wedding! We wanted to work with J because of her beautiful work and realistic style (none of those cheesy poses but the real human mom...
ents are what we liked). We had a bunch of email communication before we met in person and she was super responsive, so informative and super flexible! When we first met J it was at our engagement session and as a two people that normally shy away from cameras, she made us feel so comfortable and she was a lot of fun. She made such beautiful work and something that you can tell from the pictures was that we looked like we had so much fun- and we did, because of J. During the months leading up to the wedding, she was so helpful with ideas, tips and overall guidance. On the day of the wedding, she joined myself and my bridesmaids while her team member was with my husband. J came into the room and just made everything relaxed and fun and really made me (a bride in the making) super calm. You can tell J has done hundreds of weddings because she came in and started snapping away, creating her own canvas. Throughout the day my wedding party and I had a blast with J. She took so many awesome shots and what blew me away was that she climbed out the window at our venue and onto the roof to get some awesome views of the ceremony! She will literally go above and beyond! We are so lucky to have worked with J- shes so talented and just an amazing person. This should be your easiest choice to make- work with J :)
We had such a great experience working with J for our engagement and wedding photos! We could are beyond happy with the way she and Mark were able to capture so many special momen...
ts our big day. The photos are absolutely stunning and we are so thankful that we were able to work with her. She was easy to work with, laid back, and she was able to capture the best of us and our guests during the day/night. We highly recommend Jbagz photography!!!!

I could not have had a better experience working with Jay and Mark for my wedding. I would recommend using Jbagz photography to any couple who is looking for talented, fun, easy-t...
o-work-with photographers for their wedding. Jay made the process from the very beginning easy and stress-free. When we did our engagement shoot we immediately knew we had made the right choice. My fiance, who at first was hesitant to do an engagement shoot, had so much fun and Jay put him at such ease with her easy-going and candid style of photographing us that he got really into the shoot and amazing photos were a result! We ended up using our engagement photos for not only framed photos to decorate our home, but for added decor for the big day and for our wedding guest book! Which brings us to our wedding day experience with Jay and Mark as a team and they were unbelievable. My fiance and I wanted photos of special, candid moments that really captured all of the love and happiness of the day, and all of that was captured and more! Something that stood out for me was how many moments Jay and Mark were able to capture yet we barely knew they were there! They were able to somehow blend in and do their thing without us (or the guests) noticing. Jay and Mark really listened to exactly what we wanted- we wanted some formals but we wanted them done in a certain way and not too many, since candids were most important- they did exactly this, so we have a perfect amount of formal photos in addition to the candids. My husband and I felt at ease, comfortable, and confident the entire day that we would have great photos which made the wedding day so much more enjoyable and calm for us. My bridal party and family members (some who are extremely camera shy and typically do not like photos of themselves) were also so thrilled when the photos came out, making it a point to tell me how excited they are to finally have wedding photos of them that look great.
Jay was simply fantastic! She is currently very cost-effective so we feel very lucky to have caught her in this phase of her career.. She is truly an artist in the best sense, no...
t simply a photographer. She showed up early ready to work and worked extremely hard the entire day. What was especially appreciated was that Jay had a unique knack for moving around and capturing amazing moments without us realizing she was taking the shots, so most are candid and natural. We love them! And for the few shots she set up , Jay went for creative ones that were unique versus traditional ones that nobody wants to see. We had a blast taking them which made them fun to look at later. Jay gets that. In short, we loved our photos with the variety of shots Jay captured and the editing she provided (especially loved the silhouetting). She helped make our day special and memorable in many ways, so we would advise you to book her as well for your wedding! You will absolutely be glad you did!
My husband and I have had the pleasure of working with J on our wedding day! We met the day of the wedding because my husband and I live out of state, she made us feel so comforta...
ble and it was like we had known her for years! J is so effortless and easy to work with, and just has a knack for capturing real emotion, in-the-moment happiness. Her photos are not always perfect smiles, or cheesy posing, but raw life and love. For those of you considering J for a private session or wedding photography.....she is worth every single penny. When I planned my wedding my first priority was getting the right photographer.....even more so than the perfect dress. Tangible items may come and go, but photos will last a lifetime. Do yourself a favor and book J for any life event, she's the best of the best!
Thanks again!
Love Taylor and Michael xoxo
J was an absolute amazing addition to our wedding day on Sept 17, 2016. She was very professional, yet knew how to make the photo shoots fun while still centered around what we, as...
the bride and groom wanted. She made us feel comfortable and stress free the entire time she was with us. Even though we haven't seen our photos yet, we are confident that they are going to come out perfect! We would definitely recommend her for anybody looking for a photographer. Thank you to J for making our day so special!
Jay's natural, impeccable talent as a photographer is matched if not exceeded by her obvious joy in doing what she absolutely loves. That is translated to the bride and groom throu...
ghout the wedding day, as she brings life, humor, professionalism and a peace to her environment. The day would have been severely lacking without Jay's presence and I am beyond overjoyed that she was there to calm the unnerving situations, lighten otherwise stressful situations and capture the best day ever with her brilliant eye for the perfect moments. She is the best!!

d finally found J. She wanted to know what WE wanted. She didn't tell us. We met up with her for an engagement shoot and got to know her before the wedding. Her professionalism is truly extraordinary and her work is amazing. Besides that, she eased my nerves and even solved problems outside of her job. I couldn't imagine our day without her.
