Jerzy Nieves photography

I can’t say enough good things about Jerzy! He makes the photo sessions fun and comfortable. You can tell he loves what he does and cares about his clients. My husband broke his toe 2 days before our wedding and Jerzy went above and beyond making sure he was ok and comfortable. Our guest also loved him. I highly recommend him!

The Booking Process Finding a photographer and videographer for your wedding can be one of the most overwhelming experiences in the planning process. Thankfully, we found Jerzy who was breath of fresh air from the start. We had our first call with him on a Saturday morning and he took his time answering our million and one questions and made us feel so comfortable from the start. Ironically, we went to a wedding expo the very next day and the first booth we saw was for Jerzy Nieves Photography… I mean , what are the chances? We had no idea he and his team would be there. So, when we walked up and introduced ourselves, it was like bumping into an old friend. Jerzy was so nice and walked us through all of the packages, introduced us to his team ,and just talked to us for a while. By the time we left his booth, he had offered us a show rate because we saw him at the expo. Needleless to say we booked photo and video that week. The process was so smooth and easy as we were able to complete everything via his website. He sent us the contract, a link to the payment portal and even offered to break it into installments for us! Engagement Photos Fast forward a few months and we set up our engagement photo session with Jerzy. We met him downtown and walked around Lake Eola taking pictures along the way. Jerzey was so professional and personable that it felt like taking a picture with a friend. He made sure to hit the spots we wanted , capturing the most amazing sunset pictures at the fountain. As we walked around, he would call out a spot and walk us through how to pose which would be a huge help on our wedding day! By the time we finished, we had some amazing shots including the one used for our venue. We knew we had made the right choice and were excited about our big day! Day of Experience and help with Dress. Leading up to the wedding day, Jerzy had crafted a tailor-made timeline for our photos ensuring no moment would be missed. They arrived at the bride’s house first to capture the details and the getting ready moments. Again , Jerzy and his team were so kind and professional, it felt like your friends were taking pictures. As the bride went to get into her dress, there was an oh-crap/panic moment as nobody knew how to secure the back of her dress. As the bride was almost in tears, Merissa from Jerzys team stepped in and saved the day. She laced that dress up and secured it with no problems and that right there was worth its weight in gold. Then the team headed to the church to take some photos with the groom. Once the team got there, they captured video and were taking pictures. Jerzy grabbed the groom and his father and went to work. They made things so easy and gave the best directions. Then they moved to the bride and did the same thing with her father. Once the ceremony started, you didn’t even realize they were there, they were that good. They pushed the edges of where they could go and even caught a please get back from the pastor while trying to get the perfect shots. That right there is what you want from your team! Afterwards, we did family and bridal party photos, and the team made things so simple and easy. They guided everyone and helped position us, it was one less thing to worry about which was nice. They captured some amazing photos at the church and really captured the essence of our bridal party as we left. The Reception Once we got to our reception venue at the Celeste Hotel , Jerzy scooped us up into his own car so we could take our portraits around UCF. You read that right, in his own car with his videographer! As we made our first stop, he captured the high skies and gorgeous sunset that comes with the golden hour in December. We felt like celebrities around campus hoping in and out of the car in our wedding attire. We stopped at 3 different locations and each time he had fresh ideas to make our picture special before heading to our reception. Once we got back and made our entrance, his team had set up some lighting to make sure our photos popped. He took so many pictures and was amazing to work with. Again, he helped position us and gave suggestions during key moments like the cake cutting with Knightro and some of the moments that occurred throughout the night…all the way down to our grand exit. Post Wedding After the wedding, Jerzy remained in contact with us as he edited the photos, ensuring we got some previews to show our friends and family. A few weeks later, we received our photos, and we absolutely loved them. Jerzy captured our moments though the lens that an adoring friend would. So, if you are looking for a photographer for a wedding, proposal, engagement photos, or anything else, do yourself a favor and book Jerzy! He is kind, personable, professional and will go above and beyond to help your vision come to life. He and his team are truly one of a kind and I would use them a million times over!

Picking the perfect photographer for my wedding was very important to me. I've been in weddings in the past where the photographers were very intrusive and added unneeded stress to the day. I picked Jerzy not only for his beautiful work, but for his calm and fun personality. He made the day so easy and enjoyable! He was very reassuring throughout the entire day and gave us time to take in all of the small moments. He never made anything feel staged or fake. His whole team was very friendly and professional. I truly enjoyed having all of them as part of our day! We got our previews very quickly and they were absolutely beautiful! I can't say enough good things about Jerzy and would 100% recommend him to anyone!

Jerzy was great to work with. He's very laid back and captures the special moments no one sees. We just received our video teaser and it surpasses every level of expectations. Great team! Highly recommend!

Jerzy is absolutely amazing! I found him as I was wedding planning through a local Facebook group. I probably looked at over 50 photographers websites and had calls with at least 10. Jerzy was very clear with all expectations and answered all my questions off the get go, he was so organized and honest. We got along well during the call and there was something about his editing style that made me become a fan of his work. It was exactly how I wanted my wedding day to look when I imagined it. We hired him for both photography and videography. We had the engagement session at Bok Tower Gardens (my choice). It was the first time we met in person and the first time my husband and I had pictures taken. It was a learning process and Jerzy was so patient and gave us great guidance, we felt pretty comfortable by the end. We loved the pics so much!! During wedding planning my husband and I got into a health journey and got more comfortable in our bodies so I hired Jerzy for an additional session now that we had some confidence and a little experience posing. We absolutely loved the pictures even more! The wedding day came, Jerzy and his team arrived early and got right to work! They were both everywhere and nowhere at the same time they didn't stand out or took away from any guest but rather captured all the special moments and details. I had multiple guests, photographers themselves, that felt the need to tell me how impressed they were with how good the team was all day. They were so good with my dogs too! I made sure to book him the entire time from getting ready until the venue closed and I don't regret it one bit! When we got the pictures (which felt super fast), it was a dream come true and the video is just amazing. Almost like you can't believe it's you and you actually can look that good and be that cool lol. Seriously love everything about it! We love his work so much we hired him a 3rd time, this time to do a "trash the dress" photoshoot in the Florida springs (also my choice) and he was totally down! I can't wait to see those pictures too!! I know we found our one and only photographer and would recommend him to anyone without hesitation!

Jerzy and his team were absolutely amazing! We found Jerzy and immediately I knew it was the right choice because of his great communication from the very beginning. He was there to answer all of my questions and probably questions that were meant for other vendors he had insight on everything. He did our engagement photos and they came out absolutely beautiful. The day of the wedding I was a complete roller Coaster and Jerzy and his team improvised on many things that were apart of my day but somehow fell through (like forgetting our sparklers) Jerzy found a way to make it just as amazing as i envisioned it. Jerzy and his team are charismatic and they move around the room like they aren't there to capture every moment. My guests even commented on how awesome they were. I would choose him for any and every event going forward to capture life's moments. Thank you guys so much! (Our wedding was 3/25 but the app won't allow me to search for my date)

Jerzy and his team were very professional and we would easily hire them again to any other event! They arrived on time and kept up with the schedule through the whole night. They were helpful and we got all the pictures we wanted for our wedding. He was great communicating with us ahead of time and discussing how we wanted the pictures. He and his team were patient and helpful whenever we needed them. The pictures came out amazing, and we have already recommended him to our friends.

Jerzy & his team were phenomenal! The first time I met Jerzy was when we were scheduled for our engagement photos. He was very personable, professional, and passionate about his work. He was always open to what we were looking for and executed every step of the way. We have been pleased with his work and the lighting for all our photography has been spot on. Thank you for being so generous with your time and all your hard work. We appreciate you so much. We absolutely love our pics. You allowed us to look back at our beautiful wedding memories. We will definitely recommend Jerzy and his team and look forward to use him in the future.

Jerzy and his team were great to work with! They were so invested in the day of the wedding and were incredibly friendly. He helped make the day go by smoothly by following the timeline. He also worked quickly to get us a sneak peak teaser of pics the day after the wedding! He has a real eye for photography and captured some amazing creative photographs of our special day. We loved having the full service of his videographer for consistency as well. The quality of the photos received so far is top notch and we would highly recommend using Jerzy and his team for quality care in capturing your unforgettable day! Jonah and Bethany

Ariana & Leonel’s wedding: 9/3/2022. If I had to describe Jerzy in just four words, they would be: professionalism, responsibility, dedication and patience. Although it would not be enough to describe the excellent quality of service he offers. From the beginning, Jerzy has been responsible, understanding, helpful, kind, very organized and very punctual. Jerzy knows what he does very well, and has enough experience, to trust his excellent service as a professional photographer. Our experience with Jerzy was wonderful. Since I introduced myself to him, communication was fluid and his answers were always immediate. For our engagement photo session, we were charmed by his personality and confidence in telling us what poses to strike. We had such a great time, that it flew by too quickly. Even so, he pleased us by taking amazing and spectacular photos of us! That day we could feel that the chemistry between the three of us (me, my fiancé now husband, and Jerzy) was effective in making us feel comfortable and safe with Jerzy's knowledge and experience. Not long after the engagement photo session, Jerzy sent us the gallery, and we absolutely fell in love with the quality of the photos. Since then, we maintained the necessary communication to coordinate the timeline and finalize the details of the wedding. Once the big day arrived, Jerzy fulfilled so much more than our expectations and everything planned. He was very punctual upon arrival at both residences, at the church and at the reception. His prudence and patience was incredible. I am very grateful to Jerzy and his team, for always staying together with us on our wedding day, but above all, for helping me stay calm in different moments of pressure from some guests. I am very grateful to Jerzy for accommodating all my requests for our wedding. They never stopped working, from the beginning in our houses, until our big exit late at night. The delivery of the first official photos before the complete gallery, and the video trailer of the wedding was made a few days later. Like the engagement photo session, these photos and the video were delivered in perfect quality and not only us, but all the people who were able to enjoy them, were delighted with how beautiful they were! Me and my husband are very pleased with the hard work that Jerzy and his team put in and we want to congratulate them for their talent, professionalism, dedication, quality of service to their clients and their passion for what they do. With sincerity, I wish Jerzy the best for his career and that it lasts for many more years, so that he leaves us with such important and special memories in our lives, in such beautiful photographs and videos. Thank you very much and may God continue to bless you with this special talent. Sincerely, Ariana M. Virella
