We had such an amazing experience with JBJ!! From the first emails with Jean-Baptiste to the engagement session and wedding with Natalie & Landry, and receiving our gorgeous phot...
os and videos a few weeks later.
We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. My mom watched our video 5 times in a row and I have the soundtrack in my head as I'm typing this!
Thank you Natalie and Landry for capturing our big day, and Jean-Baptiste for building such an amazing team of creatives, we can't wait to get pregnant and have you capture many more milestones in our lives <3
JBJ pictures provided the best wedding photography and videography we could have asked for! They far exceeded our expectations for photo and video quality (the light and ethereal v...
ibes are amazing), and they were so helpful to us every step of the way! I was amazed at how they were able to help with posing so you really do look your best even if you don’t usually know how to pose! We have received so many compliments on our wedding and engagement photos and are so happy that we chose JBJ to preserve these special memories. Opening your wedding photo gallery should be a joyful and exciting experience and JBJ did not disappoint!
JB and his team are truly amazing!! We had our engagement photos done with Kristen at JBJ and she was truly the best!!! She was so personable, had a lot of fun ideas and really bro...

We feel like the luckiest couple ever with our wedding team which included two photographers and a videographer from JBJ Pictures. My now husband and I aren’t exactly comfortable i...
n front of a camera but Brittany, Regina and Hobart from JBJ made us feel SO comfortable and the photos we have seen are insane!!! They are truly so beautiful we can’t wait for the video and the full wedding gallery.
All my friends who were in the wedding party could not stop complimenting the whole team. Brittany would provide some posing tips for all the girls that we all loved! But what was so amazing was they got so many amazing pictures but were so quick so it never took away from the experience. I didn’t want anyone, family or wedding party to miss out on any of the party due to photos and JBJ was so efficient and so amazing to work with!! On the flight home, Brian and I were talking about how we wanted to be friends with all the JBJ team.
I wanted to share a text from one of my bridesmaids: “ Also your photographer is so fast and the photos of you are literally insane. My jaw is pretty much on the floor. Best wedding photos I’ve ever seen and you look drop dead gorgeous. I have no idea how you’ll pick which ones to frame”
To say we will be recommending them to EVERYONE is an understatement. Thank you Brittany, Regina and Hobart! We were so lucky to have you!
I don't think anything describes Brittany and the JBJ team better than the email I sent after our wedding day (below), and now that we have our STUNNING photos, they truly speak fo...
r themselves! We love you JBJ!!! (Nicole and Nicholas Errico - Sonoma Golf Club - 6/3/23)
Brittany,
I want you to know how impressed I am with your professionalism, efficiency, kindness, and incredible ability to position us (quite literally your ability to tell us exactly how to look good) at every moment and in every photo during the day. You were so efficient that you not only captured every photo on our insane list (which you highlighted and underlined), but you left us extra time to fully enjoy our cocktail hour. This meant THE WORLD to us because the courtyard is a particularly favorite spot of ours at the venue. During the entire day, I could see the joy on your faces (you too Alicia!) as you walked us through each photo. I could tell how passionate you are about your jobs and how much you love it. I can absolutely see why. You create pure magic for the bride and groom. What an incredible feeling that must be doing what you do for people like us.
Alicia,
Thank you for being Brittany’s right hand woman throughout this entire day. You are so kind and talented and professional. I haven’t even seen the photos yet and I just know they are going to be VOGUE MAGAZINE quality (no pressure lol). You are fabulous and a star.
You and Brittany are TRUE ARTISTS, and I hope you know in your hearts deep down how truly appreciated and talented you are. I cannot imagine better photographers to shoot our day.
Just before you both arrived at 1:30 pm, we were playing the song “Miracles Happen” by Myra from Princess Diaries. I’m sure you both have seen that movie. Listen to that song again and just know that my day was even more magical and joyous than that song (lol). I am going to pass out from the joy.
Had the best experience working with JBJ! They were so kind and professional, and we are in love with our photos. Our photographers were very kind and patient in helping us pose, w...
hich was greatly appreciated. They went above and beyond - stocked with Advil and Bandaids and even grabbing us drinks - to make sure our night was perfect. So happy we went with JBJ.
After seeing beautiful pictures from a friend's wedding shot by JBJ, I knew I had to reach out when it came time for mine. Photography was the most important priority for us as we ...
began to plan our wedding and we are so glad we found JBJ Pictures!
Brittany is so wonderful to work with and talk to. She's prompt with email responses and so very kind and professional. My husband and I don't take many pictures of ourselves and often shy away from the camera but Brittany made us feel so comfortable and relaxed all day. Giovana was her second shooter for our wedding and was also very sweet! Our only regret was not taking a photo with both of them before they were done for the night. We got a sneak peek a couple of weeks after our wedding and the whole album within a month and a half and WOW, we were so impressed. All the photos were light, airy, and clean; we love them!
Simply put, JBJ Pictures is INCREDIBLE! If we ever decide to have another wedding, JBJ will be the first person I contact. Trust me, you will not regret booking them to shoot your special day.

ork together all day long. We work in tandem to create a day of timeline that provides an environment for both of us to be successful. Diane and team responded with detail to our email communication, showed up early to scout out places to photograph and stayed on schedule while making the Bride, Groom and Bridal Party laugh the entire day! I highly recommend JBJ Pictures to capture your most precious moments on your big day!
Brittany and the JBJ team are the absolute best! They did our photo and video for our wedding in Napa, CA in August 2021. Brittany also photographed our engagement photos the year ...
before. We could not be happier with the end product. The photos are beautiful and have perfectly captured the highlights of the day and special moments in between. The team is so fun and easy to get along with. They have a knack for making you feel comfortable and special. We are so grateful to have these beautiful photos and videos to relive our wedding day!
JB was the photographer for our August 2021 wedding, and wow - the pictures came out AMAZING!
We had such a great experience working with JB. It was easy to understand the service...
s we need, and a pleasure to work with them. When we had to reschedule our wedding due to covid, we felt JB was very fair and were glad we could find a new date with him without stress.
At our engagement shoot, JB did a great job of suggesting poses so the whole thing felt comfortable. He made it more fun than I expected, which is great because you spend so much of your wedding day with your photographer.
The day of, JB was punctual and went with the flow when we were running way late. He still managed to capture all of the key photos on our list for before the wedding without missing a beat.
And most importantly, when we got the photos back, we were in AWE! They were all so stunning. I don't know how they got so many amazing photos. JB is exceptionally talented as a photographer, and his editing style makes all of the photos so light and airy.
We were beyond pleased with our wedding photos, and our family all agree. High quality photography was one of our top priorities for the wedding and JB delivered! We had also referred him to friends, who have been incredibly happy with their photos as well.
We hope to work with JB again in the future. We highly recommend his work!
Working with JBJ Pictures was the best decision we made for our wedding! We had the pleasure of having Brittany as our photographer and our photos turned out INCREDIBLE, we can't s...
top looking at them! We were so sad about having to postpone our wedding from our original date in April to the first week of October, but the team at JBJ Pictures were so kind and flexible with moving our date. We were extra reassured by the fact that they have a large team and a backup photographer in case someone gets sick, which is definitely possible in 2020!
Thank you JBJ for taking such great care of us and for capturing all of the beautiful moments from our wedding day. We will cherish them forever and are so grateful for your talent and kindness!
There are so many photographers out there that it was so overwhelming when we started looking! Our venue highly recommended JBJ Pictures and we fell in love with their work immedia...
tely. The fact that they offer both photo and video made our search a lot easier. We're in love with our wedding video and every single photo in our beautiful gallery. We're so glad we chose video, I understand why Brittany said she highly recommends it, now that we have it I know we would have regretted not having a wedding video.
With a list of over 300 wedding guests, I had to deal with a very extensive checklist of things to do. Hiring JBJ Pictures took so much stress out of the photography aspect not on...
ly because Jean-Baptiste and Brittany are so professional and on top of things, but they are among the most wonderfully caring vendors whom I've had the pleasure of working with. Through the stressful and crunch times as the wedding date drew closer, JB held our hands by maintaining his patient, kind and personable demeanor, always there to reassure and assist. He had a way of calming me down in my most nerve-racking moments. Even though he has an easygoing nature, don't let that fool you as far as his skills, attention to detail, follow-up and amazing sense of professionalism! I am a punctual and organized person so I was super happy when JB, Brittany and his team showed up promptly at my hotel room to begin the wedding shoot on our Big Day. In the end, the wedding turned out beautifully. Every wedding will have those "oh I wish this had happened instead..." but I thought our wedding was perfect. When we finished our vows after our small family-only ceremony, we were about to kiss and walk back down the aisle when my bridesmaid whispered to me that we forgot to exchange rings. When we realized that, we all laughed. It is one of those moments we'll remember. And, JB jumped on the opportunity and took photos of us laughing and hurrying to exchange rings. The whole JBJ team was awesome. From start to finish, my experience with JB couldn't have been more wonderful. Even now, a year later, we keep in touch. You will love JB and his team...absolutely and unequivocally!
I once heard that we forget what people say but not how they make you feel and I couldn't agree more! The JBJ Team made us feel amazing on our wedding day, we had their photo and v...
ideo crew for our big day and we're so happy with our wedding photos and video!! Our wedding video made my DAD cry!
Thank you JBJ for making our day so memorable and fun!
Me and my Fiancé David took engagement photos with JBJ Pictures a couple months back. I originally found them on Instagram and personally loved their editing style they had and of ...
course picture quality. They made us feel so comfortable and were so fun to work with. Highly highly recommend JBJ Pictures for your special day!!
We just received our wedding photos and videos, and we've already watched them dozens of times! We're so happy we chose the JBJ Pictures Team for our wedding, we had pretty high ex...
pectations and they still managed to blow us away! And thank you Brittany for telling us that we should also consider having your video team instead of just booking photography, we're SO happy to have an amazing wedding film to share with family and friends in addition to our photos!!
We were on the fence about hiring a videographer and we are SO happy we went with JBJ. The results are amazing. We just received our videos and we've probably watched it 100 times....
Can't recommend them enough.
The BEST decision we made for our wedding was choosing JBJ. Brittany was our photographer for both engagement and wedding day shots, and we loved her so much we want to get profess...
ional photos taken again just so we can see her! Not only is she personally so accommodating and sweet with the kindest smile, the photos are stunning. We all look like we are in heaven in the photos, everything feels crisp and bright yet soft and ethereal, and everyone looks vibrant and healthy, not washed out as can sometimes happen in brighter photos. It's truly amazing to see the final product of their work. I have no idea how they do it. We did 4 hours of photography on the wedding day so we could afford their gorgeous work. We could have chosen a photographer we didn't like as much and spent less and I am SO GRATEFUL we didn't. The quality and artistry they produce is worth the price ten fold. We will cherish these photos always and always remember how much fun it was to be with Brittany taking them :)
Working with Jean and his team was amazing. He has such a great eye and is so kind. He photographed our engagement pictures which we loved so much that we ended up sending half our...
guests save the dates with 1 photo and the other half save the dates using a different photo because we couldn't decide which we liked most. We received a sneak peak of our wedding photos and they were absolutely beautiful. Above and beyond what I could have hoped for. We also used JBJPictures for videography and our photobooth and opted to use their new drone. We can't wait to see how the rest of the photos and the video turn out. I cannot recommend JBJPictures enough.
My wife and I worked with JB for our wedding and he exceeded our expectations from the beginning. He is a fantastic guy with an equally impressive eye. He is extremely thorough yet...
the work on our part felt minimal. He was available for pre-wedding planning, took the time to learn our preferences and personalities, and never missed a beat with the schedule. Can't thank him enough for capturing one of our most memorable occasions and making the experience more pleasant by being part of it.
We also had his wife, Brittany (Event Julep), coordinate everything the day of our wedding, and the event went without a hitch. They are amazing people and we are thankful they made a special day even more so.
So thankful for the opportunity to work with JB for our engagement shoot! My fiance and I are from Los Angeles, but knew that we wanted to take our engagement photos in San Franci...
sco because it is such a beautiful city. I found JBJ through Pinterest and loved his work so much. I recommend checking out his page... so many gorgeous photos! I contacted JBJ as well as a few other SF photographers for quotes, and am so glad I went with JBJ. JB is so, so responsive and so friendly and so sweet through our email communications. We worked with our budget and even helped me pick out some awesome locations for our photoshoot and even gave me advice on my outfits for the day. When the day finally arrived for our shoot, we shot at Palace of Fine Arts and Pier 7. After months of email communication, we finally met JB in person. He is truly the coolest guy and super friendly!! My fiance and I don't really feel comfortable in front of the camera but after just a few minutes with JB, we were having the time of our lives and having so much fun. JB is so awesome that he was able to provide our final photo gallery within just a few days. And WOW they are gorgeous!!! I can't stop looking at them, and so excited to share with family and friends. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an awesome, very talented, and overall great photographer!
I feel the need to write this review even before my wedding day because I have been so blown away by JB and his work thus far! JB and his wife Brittany are everything you could wan...
t in wedding photographers. We originally reached out to JBJ about a year ago to book him for our destination wedding in Croatia. The destination excitement was mutual between us because it was one of his wife’s dreams to visit Croatia! From the beginning, we knew JB was going to be the best decision we made in choosing a vendor! I want to emphasize that JB goes above and beyond for his clients and has such a passion for his work! Not only did JB beautifully capture our engagement photos, but he was also willing to work within our budget to photograph our ceremony at SF City Hall (which included a surprise video highlight as well!). JB has such a quick turn around and the photos are absolutely stunning, they are so bright and romantic! I cannot wait for JB to come to Croatia with us and continue to impress us with his work. If you are thinking about booking JB, JUST DO IT, you will not regret it!
They say a picture is worth 1000 words, and JB's photography, professionalism, and talent truly exceeds this sentiment.
From the start, JB was eager to please, and was constantly...
available for phone chats, text convos and emails. This was such a blessing, and helped calm all my pre-wedding jitters. He offered up advice, recommended other vendors, and made sure that he got to know me on a personal level before my big day. Since we had hired JB to photograph our event for 11 hours, getting to know one another was key! By the time our wedding day approached, I already felt like I was spending the day with an old friend.
My husband and I made the last minute decision to add a videographer a few days before our wedding. We had the pleasure of working with JB's wife, Brittany, who filmed our entire day. Brittany and JB work seamlessly together, and although they're "right there" capturing all the important photos, they seamlessly blend in to the background. This provided my husband with a lot of comfort, as he's not as used to being in front of the camera and smiling for hours like I am!
A few days after the wedding, JB sent some sneak peeks of our big day, and I cried tears of joy and utter amazement. To say the photos were beautiful doesn't do them justice - his photography is stunning. The lighting, and technique of using both digital and film photography adds so much depth to the photos and makes them really pop. He is a master of his craft!
If you're looking for someone to capture your special day, look no further. Hiring JBJ Pictures to be part of our wedding day was by far the best decision we made.They are a dream to work with, and made our big day THAT much better! We can't wait to work with them again!
Thank you, JB & Brittany!
Brittany was absolutely amazing to work with. We didn't do a First Look and we really wanted to enjoy some of the cocktail hour, so Brittany had a lot of pressure on her shoulders ...
to knock out many photos within a very short amount of time (like only 40 minutes for all family photos, bridal party photos and bride and groom portraits!) Not only was she able to do that but she also had a smile on her face the whole time! I know it sounds silly but working with someone who enjoys what they are doing is so pleasant and we could tell that she cared about our big day being perfect.
Thanks so much Brittany for your warm personality and gorgeous photos, we're so happy we chose JBJ Pictures to photograph our wedding!
We just received our wedding album and it is GORGEOUS! Being able to relive our wedding day every time we open it is so special and we're so happy we will have it for years to come...
. JB and Brittany were a pleasure to work with, they are both very sweet and passionate about all things wedding, which made our wedding day so much more fun and less stressful. I wish we had been able to hire their videography team for our wedding video as well but we had an unexpected medical expense a few months before the wedding, so we decided to only have them do our photography.
JB and Brittany are the best and we highly recommend them for your engagement and wedding photos!
I had been following JBJ Pictures on Instagram for quite some time, so as soon as I got engaged, I knew exactly that I wanted them to photograph my wedding! Jean-Baptiste was alrea...
dy booked, so we booked one of his associate photographers and we were so pleased with the photos and our experience.
Jean-Baptiste was available for our engagement session, so we were stocked to have the owner of JBJ Pictures take the time to be our engagement photographer. Since I had been following him on Instagram for so long, it felt like being photographed by a celebrity!
Our lead and second photographers for the big day were amazing as well, you can really tell they were hand picked by JB based on their personality and style. Since they were trained by Jean-Baptiste and that he is the one selecting and editing every photo, we felt very confident that they would do a great job. We were thrilled with how amazing our photos turned out and loved the viewing session! It’s such a fun and personal touch. Basically we went to JB’s beautiful house on a Sunday and watched a slideshow of our wedding photos with music, while drinking some champagne and eating delicious French macarons! We had so much fun and loved being able to view all of the wedding albums options in person during the viewing session. We picked the package with one big album for us, 2 parents albums and a couple of canvases. We can’t wait to give them to our parents for Thanksgiving!
From start to finish, we are so happy with everything and are grateful that JB and his team took such good care of us. The viewing session was really a nice touch to end our wedding celebration!
There are so many good wedding photographers in California but there are very few really talented ones. We were so lucky to find Jean-Baptiste and his team, we immediately fell in ...
love with his style and how he captures the moment. Our bride and groom portraits are some of my favorite images, we only had a very short amount of time before sunset but Jean-Baptiste was able to capture amazing photos of us as the sun was setting behind the vineyards. We were so impressed by his calm demeanor on such a stressful day, he captured everything perfectly in very short amounts of time and his fun personality makes him someone you definitely want to be around on your wedding day. Thank you Jean-Baptiste for documenting such a special day for us, we’re so happy we chose you and will always be grateful for your help and dedication.
Oh my goodness. JB and his wife Brit made my day. They are so wonderful, nice, grateful, and loving. They strive to make your day spectacular, and that is what mine was. What I lov...
e about them the most is they are not “in your face” all day long, which some photographers have been known for . They catch behind the scenes. They catch the the good moments. They catch everything beautiful! JB is marvelous. He is warm, honest, and very professional. He captured some wonderful moments that will stay with me for a lifetime. I am forever grateful for JBJ Pictures.
JB and Brit, I thank you so very much. Your hard work and dedication means everything and more to me. I can’t wait to share all the wonderful pictures with my future family and for generations to come.
Love always,
McKenzie Snyder
If we could recommend one vendor from our entire wedding, it would be JBJ Pictures. We loved every interaction we had with JB and his team, they were prompt to respond, friendly, k...
nowledgeable and always trying to help us with advice and tips throughout our wedding planning.
We had no doubt our photos would turn out amazing and were so happy to receive them around 6 weeks after our wedding. We did a viewing party with JB and his wife and had so much fun (they welcomed us with champagne and macarons to view a slideshow of our wedding photos for the first time, now that's what I call an amazing experience!) Then we customized our wedding album and parents photo books after looking at several samples, we picked our favorite cover and paper type (we went for the monsoon blue cover with thick pages and a beautiful smooth paper).
JB and his team were a pleasure to work with and we're so happy with everything. Do yourself a favor and book them for your wedding, you won't regret it!
Finding the right wedding photographer for our wedding was one of the most stressful parts of the wedding planning. We spent months looking at websites and asking for proposals. We...
wanted our wedding photographer to be talented, experienced, personable, patient and quick to respond to our emails. After interviewing 10 (yes ten!) photographers and telling one of our friends that we just couldn't find the right fit, she told us that we should check out JBJ Pictures because the owner, JB, photographed her sister's wedding and was raving about his work. As soon as we got home, we too a look at their website and immediately felt a connection. We fell in love with the way they use natural light to capture gorgeous details and natural portraits. We sent them a message and got a very nice and professional response within an hour! None of the other photographers we had contacted were that quick to respond. We scheduled a video chat the next day and loved our conversation with JB, we felt like he genuinely cared about us and was there to help us. He sent us a quote within a few minutes and we booked his team by the end of the day! After months of research, interviews and proposals, we finally found the right fit and it took us less than a day to make our decision! :-D
Our wedding photos came out better than we could have dreamed of and our parents kept saying how nice our photographers were. We're so happy we chose JBJ Pictures for our wedding. Trust us, they're the best!
Choosing JBJ Pictures for our wedding photography and photo booth was the best decision we’ve made while wedding planning! They made everything SO easy, from the moment we reached ...
out to them, to customizing our wedding package, photographing our engagement session and wedding, delivering our photos within only a few weeks, and designing our wedding albums for ourselves and our parents. Every time we emailed them, they were quick to respond and very friendly. We knew our wedding photos would look great when we hired them but we were still amazed by how good they turned out!! We had never been in front of the camera before and they still made us feel comfortable and look natural. So happy with the result, I would recommend JBJ Pictures for everything photography related!
We're so happy with our photos, they turned out so great and we couldn't have dreamed of a better experience. I am still emotional just looking at our wedding album and reliving ou...
r big day! Thanks JB, Brittany and Joanna, we're so grateful for all of your help and support during those 2 years spent planning our wedding to make it so special!
After exchanging so many emails with multiple photography companies, we immediately fell in love with JBJ Pictures: they were very quick to respond to our inquiry (on a Sunday!), a...
re personable, friendly, honest and genuinely passionate about helping us with all things weddings. In addition to delivering gorgeous wedding photos, these qualities are probably what makes them so successful in the Bay Area (and abroad too apparently, Brittany recently told us that they are booked for weddings in Croatia, Italy, Fiji and a couple of other dreamy destinations I forgot about!)
We've only received our wedding sneak peek and we are already blown away by how they captured our day and our overall experience working with JBJ Pictures. We can't wait to see the rest of the photos and create our wedding album!! We definitely recommend JBJ Pictures if you care about your wedding photos and want the best experience and support throughout your wedding planning!
We loved working with JBJ Pictures for our wedding. We reached out to them only 8 months before our wedding date and were worried that they would not be available given how many 5-...
star reviews they have on Yelp and The Knot, but they have a large team so they were able to accommodate our needs. We booked their photography, videography and photo booth, and we were amazed by how everything turned out! Their whole team is amazing and hiring them to do everything related to photo/video was a blessing when I started stressing out about all of the vendors we had to "manage". We had one person of contact from their team (Brittany), and it made it soooo much easier to deal with.
I recommended JBJ Pictures to my cousin who is getting married next year and she said she's already so impressed by their communication and professionalism! Definitely an amazing company with amazing people who truly care about you.
We had such an amazing experience with JBJ Pictures, from start to finish! We found them on Instagram and loved EVERY SINGLE photo we saw! We reached out to them and loved how pers...
onalized and friendly their response was. Brittany was quick to respond to every email we exchanged and we felt very confident they would do an amazing job at documenting our big day!
We booked the Fine Art Package with their JBJ Pictures Photographers and LOVE how the photos turned out, so light, happy and natural! All of our guests were also impressed by how professional and friendly our lead shooter and second shooter were, and trust me it was not an easy wedding (we had 327 guests and a lot of Chinese-speaking family!)
Thanks everyone at JBJ Pictures for being so helpful, relaxed and all around awesome, we couldn't have asked for a better team to be a part of our wedding!
We had an engagement session with the whole family at Half Moon Bay , Ca . Jean-Baptiste did a great job ! The whole family loved the pictures !! He managed to capture beautiful ca...
ndid and posed pictures, truly outstanding work. He was very easy to talk to and got back to my messages immediately. Would definitely recommend JBJ to any couple looking to capture wedding or engagement photos !
I found JB through Yelp when I was looking for photographers to take our engagement and wedding photos - and I'm so glad I did! He's a super talented photographer, and we LOVE his ...
natural style (not overly processed, etc.) of photography. My husband and I are not the most natural people in front of the camera, but JB made us feel super comfortable and at ease, and always made us laugh :) I was worried the pictures would turn out awkward with some of the poses, but they turned out great. JB really knows his stuff and his experience shows in the resulting photos. He was always professional and such a pleasure to work with. He was highly responsive and delivered our photos, both engagement and wedding, in a timely manner (which is super important and appreciated for high-strung people like me, always stressing out about all the wedding vendors, details, etc.). Highly recommend entrusting JB to capture the most important moments of your life (or just for a fun photo shoot :-P).
We loved having JB as our wedding photographer. He took care of us for both our engagement and wedding photography! He's very friendly, experienced, and responsive - what more coul...
d you ask for? JB guided us through the whole timeline process (clearly something we were not experienced in) and made sure he captured all the photos we wanted on our special day. Day of, we were thankful for extra flexibility, the extra shooter, and more time!
Our photos turned out great. We blew up a photo for our living room. We sent pictures with our guests in our thank you cards. We took our engagement photos at the Berkeley Botanical Gardens redwoods grove and Oakland marina. Our wedding was at Preservation Park in Oakland.
If you love his photography style too, he'll been a great partner from start to finish.
My husband and I hired JBJ Pictures for our wedding and they were truly awesome. Brittany was the person in charge of the booking process, which was smooth and easy. She got back t...
o me within less than an hour after I first reached out to them. She gave me some additional information about their style and how they will create the best experience for me and my fiance. Their popular packages includes 8 hours and 10 hours, but I wanted something right in between to stay within my budget, so they customized the perfect package for us (2 weeks before the wedding once we had our timeline finalized, we actually realized we needed 10 hours and it was easy to update the invoice). To book the date, Brittany sent us a link with the quote and contract, we simply needed to accept both and send a retainer to reserve our date. That's it, we had our photographers!
Then, Brittany introduced us to Jean-Baptiste (the owner) who was very friendly too, he gave us recommendations for our engagement session (locations, outfits) and helped us find a date to schedule the shoot. We had a blast during the engagement session, we were so worried we would not look natural but the photos turned out amazing and we even ordered canvases to display them at our wedding.
Closer to our wedding, JB sent us an online questionnaire to help us gather all important information and we talked to our photographer over the phone to make sure we were all on the same page in regards to the timeline. On the wedding day, she arrived on time and was able to capture all of the key moments we wanted, along with some that we had no idea she had captured! Many of our friends and family told us that our photographer was awesome and super friendly. We received our wedding photos within only 6 weeks and we are SO happy with the result, they truly capture our big day and we can't wait to see our wedding album!!
We loved working with JBJ Pictures, they were definitely our favorite vendors and we highly recommend them!
I originally booked a different photographer and had a horrible experience with her communication when it came to our engagement photos. Enter JB. He literally saved me from having...
a wedding nightmare and having to deal with a non-responsive photographer who didn't come through for me. I'm so glad I hired JB before the wedding happened! Right from the start, JB made me feel comfortable and at ease because he was so approachable and readily communicated with me on a timely, professional, friendly basis. We even would talk about things outside of the wedding and started to get to know each other well as people too. To me, that was really special and to this day, we consider JB a good friend!
We ended up doing another engagement session with JB because I figured I should do something with my make up trial. I ended up loving JB's engagement pictures even more than my original photographer's, even though we only spent an hour with him! And when it came to the wedding, JB was super organized to ask questions before the wedding and I could tell he was running around trying to capture the best shots. His second shooter was also great to work with! We got our photos in about 6 weeks and it was so nice to re-live the day with these photos! He was also gracious enough to throw in some extras and give us black and white versions of everything. I would highly recommend anyone to work with JB based on his responsiveness and true professionalism to give his clients the best. Just give him an email, and you'll see! Also, our wedding photo that he took was recently featured on The Knot's instagram!! He's really starting to make a name for himself in wedding photography and he does commercial photography for big companies like Neutrogena, Jack Daniels, etc. He has a great eye for natural light, so check him out! :)
My husband and I are extremely glad that we found JBJ Pictures for our wedding in San Francisco. Being that we're not from the Bay Area, we were relying on reviews in selecting ou...
r photographer. Let me just say that JB has perfect reviews for a reason. Our interaction with him was simply effortless from beginning to end. He is professional, punctual, responsive, friendly, honest, flexible and very patient. Along with his great personality, JB is a very talented photographer! His experience is clearly shown through not just the beautiful photos that he was able to capture but also in how comfortable he made us feel every step of the way. We absolutely love his natural style of photography and his ability to utilize natural light to compose beautiful images of our wedding day. The pictures came out perfect! Thanks to JB, we now have a lot more beautiful photos with our family and our puppy, Milo on the wall. Did I mention how great JB was with our puppy? We could not have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend entrusting JBJ Pictures for all your photography needs.
Thanks again JB!
It's been a few months after our wedding and this review is long overdue for JB. Please read my previous review about how I found JB and how he did on our engagement session which...
I still absolutely love and would enlarge so many pictures if I had more wall space =P We did use some of his engagement photos on canvases at our wedding!
On our wedding day, JB was every bit the professional. He arrived on time with his second shooter, Maia, and they both promptly got to work. Both were really easy to work with and they also integrated well with the videographers. Between 2 photographers and 3 videographers, you can really feel like everyone wants your attention but he was patient and urged us along the timeline when we needed to be, which I really appreciated that he was cognizant of the time.
The most stressful part was probably the family photos and even though JB has a list of your family shots, I think this is really a job for a family member on each side of the family who knows everyone and can round up the rodeo. JB was still ever patient when our crazy Asian families took their dear sweet time to gather. During the dances, I could see JB running around to try to get every angle. It's no easy task being a wedding photographer! I'm not even sure when he had time to grab a bite to eat as our wedding timeline was so packed, but never once did he complain.
Then the photos came about 6 weeks later when we stopped by JB's place in SF to view them and select photo album options. We had such a fun time with him, drinking champagne and snacking on macarons. He has truly become a great friend of ours and I'd recommend him to everyone I know just because he's such a fun, easygoing, kind guy to be around! It's SO important to be able to connect with your photographer. We loved our photos..it was like reliving the day all over again and I'm so glad we have these photos! I can't wait to bring them to Taiwan to show my grandmas too. I cycle my photos on my desktop at work and they constantly remind me of the best day ever :)
We even got a photo featured on The Knot Instagram account!!! JB's got a great way of capturing light and candids and I'm so glad that we found JB for this special day. I know I can always count on him for quick, friendly responses and quality work! After the first experience with my first photographer, JB was a complete breath of fresh air--truly what you need from a professional wedding photographer who commits and gives what he promises! BOOK HIM!! You seriously won't regret it and you'll probably end up being great friends with him! :)
Jean Baptiste was our wedding photographer at San Francisco City Hall back in September. What can I first mention about his professionalism? Always punctual and responsive to our t...
exts, super fast turnaround, a true gentleman and artist. Most importantly...the photos... They couldn't be better and they exceeded our expectations by far. This man is a true talent, a photographer that you want to have during the most precious moments of your life. He has the skills and the "eye" to turn your valuable moments into true masterpieces.
*** The fact that we write this review months after our collaboration is a great evidence that your work is memorable.
Thank you Jean Baptiste!

I cannot rave enough about how fantastic JB is. The absolute definition of a true professional. I am far from photogenic and was nervous that I would not be able to find a photogra...
pher that would help me feel comfortable enough with the process to find "my good side." JB did just that. He was extremely responsive in communication from the first time that I reached out to him all the way from our engagement photos to our wedding day. He listened to what we wanted to capture and made it happen, along with seeing opportunities to get gorgeous poses that we didn't even know that we wanted until we saw the final pictures. He and his wife Brittany are very down to earth, kind and extremely talented photographers that I will use any time in the future that I want professional photographs. He is the real deal!!!

I cannot even begin to describe how grateful I am for the amazing work that JB does.
He was recommended to us last summer from friends that had him do their engagement photos (wh...
ich are beautiful). So when we got engaged I didn't even need to consider other options. I booked JB right away for our engagement photos. I underestimated how nervous I would be for this occasion but JB and Brittany made the afternoon so comfortable. We had so much fun and it felt like we'd known them for ever. The photos are phenomenal so I couldn't imagine anyone else that I would want to capture our small wedding at San Francisco City Hall in November. With both our engagement session and our wedding, JB knew exactly where to stand and when to get the perfect lighting. It was as though he could see just what I was hoping to achieve when I was unable to articulate it. The wedding was perfect. And JB captured it perfectly. There is not one thing that I would have wanted to be different.
JB is a lot of fun, very easy to feel comfortable with and extremely talented. I would, without a second of hesitation, recommend JBJ Pictures to capture your special event. Thank you JB and Brittany!!!!
