Jimmy did an absolutely fabulous job at our wedding. We were truly blown away by the photos. We are so grateful that we found him and that he was available on our wedding date. Jimmy is an incredibly gifted photographer, and we could not have been happier with the results. Our primary objective on the photo front was to get candid shots, and he made that happen in a very big way. Jimmy beautifully captured the most poignant moments from our wedding with all of their emotionality, and now we can treasure those moments and memories in the years to come. We would enthusiastically recommend him to anyone who is looking for a professional photographer!

Amazing photographer! Very professional. Great energy! Takes all the shots on your shot list +more! I only booked one photographer for my wedding and don't have any regrets - Jimmy captured all the special moments (front, back, candid, posed). Here's your sign to book Jimmy for your next wedding/event!

Jimmy was absolutely outstanding capturing our wedding! He knew how to get all the right shots and put everyone at ease. Really went above and beyond when it came to being a part of our special day and could not have asked for a more perfect photographer. Our day was unforgettable because of the memories he captured that we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

Jimmy was such a pleasure to work with and he really nailed the look and feel I wanted for our wedding photos! I have so many favorite photos! He truly captured the Elven forest vibe we were going for and the beauty of our woodsy venue, which was not easy. He was able to get some great candid shots too which were really important to me. I really appreciate being able to look back and see what a good time each person was having through his awesome photos. The cherry at the end was when he sent me my photos on a personalized engraved wooden USB! Such a thoughtful little addition I wasn't expecting. I highly recommend him!

I had such a hard time picking a photographer and our venue recommended Jimmy! He did an amazing job at our engagement shoot, recommending a beautiful location and was really able to capture us as a couple, making it look natural even though we can be a little awkward. At our wedding, he was amazing. Super fun and made it a very pleasant experience. He made jokes and made us feel incredibly comfortable. You can tell he loves what he does and is super passionate. We got sneak peaks in about 2 days after the wedding and our photos in 4 weeks! He was super easy to communicate with and was very responsive to all of our needs and wants. His 2nd shooter was also super sweet and they worked amazingly with our videographer. We were slightly delayed but he handled it all perfectly and still got us all the photos we wanted! I only wish we had him for longer so we had more of his amazing photos!

Wow, just wow! Jimmy’s eye for photography is outstanding! We hired him to take our engagement and wedding photos and are blown away with how the photos came out. He, and his assistant, were the hardest working men at the wedding. We already got sneak peek photos two days after the wedding and we couldn’t be happier with how they came out.

Jimmy' was highly recommended to me from one of our vendors and 2 random friends of mine who had no ties with each other. We signed immediately after our first consultation with him. He was very upfront, no pushing or annoying upselling nonsense. I felt like I was talking to an actual person that wanted to work with me. Our package included an engagement shoot and day of the wedding. Jimmy arrived early for both events and was already scouting for places to shoot before we arrived. I appreciated how responsive he was throughout the entire process and how thorough he was with our shot list to make sure we got everyone/thing that we wanted. The final pictures came back super quick both times and every single picture looks incredible. Going with Jimmy was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

Jimmy and his team were consummate professionals. He was there to answer every question we had no matter the time of day. We were sold on his work the second we saw his portfolio and when we received the final product we weren't disappointed. Out of all of our Vendors it was clear Jimmy was different. We felt closer with him and developed a friendship. He'll be our first call when we're lucky enough to photograph our life going forward.

Jimmy and his team are fantastic! Jimmy is easy to talk to and is very organized. Ahead of time he sent me an itinerary and photo shot list. Both were instrumental of planning the entire day and Jimmy was very helpful in making sure our itinerary had allotted enough time for formal photos.
Throughout the wedding day, my lead photographer Angela made me feel beautiful and comfortable taking photos for many hours in a row. She did a great job reading the room, and knew when I needed a moment to vent. Jose, our second photographer, did an amazing job taking artsy shots (including behind a tree) and capturing some great candids. The photos are stunning, we have so many to choose from to make an album! Also, when we received the USB copy of the photos, Jimmy sent us a beautiful customized wooden USB and matching case with our names and wedding date engraved in it. It is such a nice unexpected detail to get from our big day! If Jimmy is available for your wedding date, make sure to book him!

Picking Jimmy as our photographer was one of the best decisions for our wedding. He was familiar with our venue which made the process seamless. I am not a fan of all the traditional detail and solo shots but trusted Jimmy and he way exceeded my expectation with some of the most beautiful photos that perfectly captured our wedding. I would recommend to a friend and would use him again in a heart beat.

5 stars doesn’t begin to cover it!! Jimmy and his team absolutely knocked it out of the park for our 4th of July weekend wedding from start to finish. It was extremely important to my husband and I that our wedding photos weren’t “cookie cutter”— we were less concerned with the formal, standard wedding photos where the bride/groom are staring into each others eyes or placed strategically in group photos with the wedding party, and more focused on having a “documentary style” approach that really captured “the moments in between” and candid shots of our favorite people sharing in the fun of our wedding day. We wanted to look back on the photos and feel catapulted back into the experience of it all— and Jimmy absolutely nailed it. He captured the stunningly unique features of every area of our indoor/outdoor wedding venue to a T AND documented the all out dance party at the reception flawlessly. Both my husband and I have VERY LARGE families and had huge wedding parties, and jimmys team wrangled everyone with the perfect balance of assertiveness and respect. We never once felt like stepping away for photos was a chore. We were absolutely blown away by the photos when we got them back. Not to mention his turn around time!!!!! Unreal! Hiring Jimmy and his team was one of the best decisions we made. We cannot recommend him enough!

Jimmy took the best photos of my wedding! He arrived earlier than contracted to take detail pics. He had a creative eye and really impressed me with his ideas. His excitement to take the photos gave me the energy I needed to get through it. I was so please with how my photos came out. I would definitely recommend Jimmy to anyone needing a great photographer to capture their special moments.

Jimmy was the best decision! We have the most beautiful photos and moments captured, and beyond that our family and bridal party absolutely loved him and Will. They were engaging but gave us space, helped us pose but let us be natural, and we’re a total hit. Many portrait photos with all varying siblings alone then with parents then just parents, then both sides together, etc etc etc can be tough to muster through but he made everyone laugh, had everyone on deck and paying attention and made it painless.
Jimmy worked with the sunlight moving, nature elements beautifully and was a true professional. My husband generally hates getting his photos taken and enjoyed working with Jimmy and Will so very much. We are thrilled that he was part of our day!!

Jimmy did an outstanding job at our wedding. Leading up to it, we had a few zoom calls with him to get an idea of what we were looking for in photos as well as getting organized for the big day! He made sure both sides of the family were included in wedding photos. He also gave us the option to go to an AMAZING place (The Planting Fields) for photos right before the wedding with the bridal party and me and my wife and they turned out great!
Jimmy and his partner Will were with us on our big day for TWELVE hours and the whole time they were friendly, positive, patient with our big families, efficient, and professional.
He has a keen eye for finding the best shots and does some experimental takes which turned out amazing. It ended up raining in the evening and he took an awesome photo of us under an umbrella with special lighting where you could see the rain droplets. Amazing job and highly recommend. Thanks Jimmy!

Not enough wonderful things to say about Jimmy. He was recommended to us by a friend, and we are forever grateful. He shot our engagement photos and wedding photos and made the entire process so seamless, stress free, and flawless. He is so calm and chill yet makes sure everything gets done in a timely and organized fashion. He takes a somewhat awkward and stressful experience (get ready for all those poses!) and makes it actually fun and memorable. He even was able to capture our dog during our engagement shots in her best candid moments. He had a great eye as well for amazing shots, and we cannot possibly recommend him enough. Thank you, Jimmy!!!

We are so glad we found Jimmy to photograph our wedding! He is an excellent photographer, professional, easy to work with, and an overall great guy. Due to the pandemic, we had to change our wedding date/plans several times and Jimmy was very accommodating and flexible throughout the process.
We did our engagement shoot with Jimmy in Central Park and it was a great opportunity to get to know him and feel comfortable in front of the camera. He was great at directing us and the photos turned out beautiful!
On our wedding day, Jimmy did a great job of corralling our guests for photos (we had several large family shots) while staying upbeat and friendly. He trekked to several places throughout NYC with us to get all the shots we wanted - and had a great idea for us to step out from the reception quickly to get photos with the Empire State building lit up in the background. His assistant was also amazing and helped fix my dress throughout the night.
We could not be happier with the way our wedding photos turned out! He captured the day beautifully and we have so many photos to remember it by. Thank you, Jimmy!!

Jimmy is an amazing photographer. His photos are beautiful and creative. He really knows how to capture certain moments and knows how to tell subjects what to do without it being awkward or uncomfortable. He went above and beyond to capture every part of our wedding, get a sneak peak to us really quickly, and was super friendly and fun to be around. He also had a friendly assistant who was extremely helpful throughout the day. Would definitely hire him again when we need a photographer.

Jimmy was an absolute joy to work with and our wedding day was as smooth and fun as it was because of his expertise and efficiency. Our guests and family complimented him on his ability to corral and lead group photos so seamlessly and a huge plus is that he speaks Cantonese well so all our relatives understood him.
After our unexpected but exciting engagement shoot in the rain, we knew Jimmy would lead us on a picturesque journey on our wedding day and we weren't disappointed. We trusted his artistic direction and had a blast doing everything and anything he told us like run in the grass or lie on the floor of our venue (he would always ask us first). Due to Covid, we postponed our wedding twice and he was always so supportive and understanding when we would try to figure out a new date with the venue. He works tirelessly for his clients and his work speaks volumes with the emotions and artistry conveyed. We wholeheartedly loved working with Jimmy and would recommend him to everyone!

Following the first pandemic surge, I decided to propose to my high school sweet heart. My mission was clear - to get engaged in the borough in which we had first moved in together. I thought the Brooklyn Bridge would be the perfect backdrop to reflect that. I was overtly anxious trying to figure out how I'd pull it all together. Cue in Jimmy Chu. I first learned of his services via a mutual contact. At the time, I hadn't known that my then-girlfriend would often peruse his social media accounts, sifting through artistic and beautiful depictions of others proposals, weddings, etc. As soon as I spoke with him over the phone, I knew he was going to capture our moment in the best way imaginable. He was incredibly approachable, patient and kind. He helped me devise a plan of action for the day that appeared straightforward enough. He wanted to know more about us, how we met, our backgrounds, all in an attempt to honor who we have come to be as a couple. The morning of the surprise engagement shoot went exactly as we reviewed. My now-wife (and I) couldn't believe it was finally happening. Jimmy produced beautiful photos highlighting this remarkable occasion for us. He made taking every single photo feel as natural and as comfortable as possible. He experimented with different angles, backgrounds, poses; all without seeming "too much." He made the experience a delight. My wife and I still look through those photos to this day, gleefully smiling at the culmination of 14-years of love. The feeling was immediate, there was no other option - we needed him to photograph our wedding day. The planning process was made smooth by his clear requests and experience. He reviewed our interests, shots of family members that were a must, color schemes, etc. On a day that is inevitably chaotic, he made sure to keep us on schedule in order to capture everything we wanted. He did this and more. My wife and I had our reception at the same location we went for our high school prom. We couldn't help but get emotional seeing the photos he took of us, with backdrops from all those years ago - nostalgic yet new. He and his assistant were incredibly respectful to our attendees and made sure the festivities went on without any disruptions. They were an absolute pleasure to work with. The photos and memories of that day have filled us with so much happiness. We highly recommend his services to those seeking to preserve their engagement and/or wedding days! You will not be disappointed!

Thank you so much Jimmy for being an excellent photographer for our wedding! We immediately booked Jimmy after our first meeting with him in 2019 because he was so easy to communicate with, very reasonable in the options offered for our package, and we loved his photography style. We had our engagement session with Jimmy in Central Park and those pictures turned out gorgeous. The session gave us a sense of how natural and comfortable Jimmy’s direction could make us feel when normally we are both very awkward and stiff in photos. During the height of COVID, Jimmy was the one vendor who gave us a heads up to postpone our 2020 wedding out to 2021, and thanks to him we were able to secure an ideal 2021 date with our venue in time. On the day of the wedding, Jimmy was so efficient and worked so well with the videographer. His assistant was also helpful in keeping the shots streamlined. We love the creative shots he took and how he made use of the venue’s scenery and decor. He fully captured the joy, energy, and beauty of the day and of our loved ones, and we are so happy with our full collection of engagement and wedding photos to look back on.

Jimmy came highly recommended and we are so glad we chose him for our wedding photography. He understood our vibe right away and made sure to listen to all our input.
We originally planned our wedding pre covid and ended up having it over a year later. Throughout that process Jimmy was always keeping us in the loop and was super accommodating to our changes. The day of the wedding he really was great to have around and even drove the bride to the venue due to last minute changes!
The photos came out amazing. They really gave us some special moments and made us look good! Thank you again Jimmy! I’ll definitely be in contact in the future when I need a photographer!

What can we say? Jimmy was just utterly amazing! Jimmy was very accommodating when it came to the pandemic and we had to postpone our wedding from July 2020 to July 2021. We had sat down with several other photographers prior to meeting Jimmy and once we did, the decision to choose him was instant! His personality is very easy going and his portfolio of work was mesmerizing. His creativity and ease of talking to him is what really pulled us in. He was never pushy with any of the photo packages and was considerate of our budget, which anyone planning a wedding knows, can be very hectic and scary. He was just genuine with every step of the way, all the way through our entire wedding. When it came down to the special day, he was punctual and not a single hesitation while working, just a seasoned pro. Worked well with our outside videographers too! He captured the most intimate moments of our wedding with such excellence. We have zero regrets choosing Jimmy Chu Photography and we will highly recommend him to every single family and friend! And on top of it all, we received all photos of our wedding touched up just roughly three weeks after the wedding!!! I’ve had family and friends wait months!!! We can’t say enough good things about Jimmy. Just choose him already !

EXCELLENT & PROFESSIONAL! Jimmy is an extremely talented photographer. We used him for our wedding on July 4, 2021. Through every step of planning our big day, Jimmy was supportive, answered all of our questions, and worked extremely well with our videographer. He made us both comfortable and worked very efficiently so we didn't miss too much of our cocktail hour and reception. Our photographs came back within 4 weeks and they are GORGEOUS! BOOK HIM! He is honest, skilled, and a good person.

We had a great experience with Jimmy! He took beautiful photos of us on our wedding day and at our engagement photo shoot. Jimmy was easy to get in contact with and fun and easy to work with. We got married in Manhattan and took our engagement photos along the waterfront in Long Island City. On our wedding day, we had Jimmy and another photographer who was also great. We got the package with the wedding album and two parent albums which we and our parents love. Would definitely recommend Jimmy if you’re looking for gorgeous photos of your special day!

Jimmy was recommended to us by a friend before we even had a venue or a wedding date. At our first meeting, his passion for what he does was so palpable that we knew immediately that we would book him. Five months later, when we found our venue, our first call was to Jimmy; we had to make sure that he was available for the dates that we had in mind!
Fast forward to our engagement shoot Jimmy’s personality and professionalism were exactly what we needed in order to be comfortable in the spotlight - my husband is a shy guy and I’d never been professionally photographed before. When those pictures came back, they were so elegant and timeless that we started to wonder how Jimmy would surpass them for our wedding… friends, Jimmy DID NOT disappoint! It didn’t matter that we arrived at the venue an hour late or that everyone had to social distance because of COVID, Jimmy was able to get every shot that we wanted and some that we didn’t know we needed! His action shots, in particular, have had us and our guests laughing and raving for weeks!
The most important thing to us though, was how involved Jimmy was. He was honest, transparent, easy to reach, and he went above and beyond his role: he walked us through changing our wedding date when COVID started, he helped us think thought what COVID precautions we needed to weave into our event, he was a calming yet energetic presence during the hectic wedding day, and his pictures were original and available in record time! We feel extremely blessed to have worked with Jimmy and it’s safe to say that he became a part of our story through this process. We’d recommend him without a shadow of a doubt to anyone looking for an amazing photographer and gorgeous pictures!

We loved working with Jimmy!
Jimmy is an extremely talented photographer who delivers amazing work. From the moment my husband and I came across his Instagram and website, we were amazed by the quality of his photos and how well he is able to tell a story through photos. It was very important to my husband and I that we find a photographer who we both felt comfortable with. Immediately upon meeting Jimmy, we felt very much at ease and booked him for our wedding right away.
During our engagement photo shoot, Jimmy did a great job directing us and making us feel comfortable in front of the camera. He was super flexible with our requests to get different shots across downtown Manhattan. He has a natural eye for getting unique and creative shots and his excitement and passion made the engagement photo shoot experience fun and enjoyable.
On our wedding day, Jimmy and his colleague partnered wonderfully together to capture every moment from the bridal party getting ready, groomsmen lunch, ceremony, and all the way through to the very end of the reception. We were impressed not only by the total number of photos we received, but how amazing each photo was! Jimmy captured so many beautiful candid moments and we can feel the energy of our wedding come through the photos. When we first met Jimmy, he shared that he wasn't afraid to be in the dance floor action to get the right shots and he lived up to this!
Beyond his awesome photography skills, Jimmy is simply a great guy. Our engagement and wedding photos exceeded our expectations, our experience working with Jimmy was so much fun and stress-free, and without hesitation, we highly recommend working with Jimmy!

Book him! So glad we came across his work and decided to hire him for our wedding. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Take the time to look at his portfolio and you’ll quickly see how great Jimmy is. On top of the quality of work, he has a great personality and is very professional which makes it easy to work with. My wife is very camera shy, but Jimmy worked great with her and made her feel comfortable. Also, I know I could be a lot to handle as I was partying all over the place but Jimmy was great at getting the shots he needed and capturing great action shots while my wife and I did our thing. Highly recommend him!

We used Jimmy for our wedding held at the Greenpoint Loft, Brooklyn NY. I cannot recommend him enough. The best way I can describe him is that he has an amazing “eye”. He utilized our venue (which already very unique) in the most creative and beautiful ways. He saw things in ways not many would. In addition to his creativeness, he was punctual, responsive, very flexible (he worked with us to fit our busy schedules at every point), and the upmost professional. He also provided input for day-of-scheduling and ensured that we had the shots we wanted. In comparison to other photographers we met with (some more than double his fee), he provided great value for top notch creativity, services, and input.

I could not have made a better decision on a photographer. Jimmy Chu was confident in his work, knew how to work with people, and was extremely personable. When we spoke for the first time, I felt like he knew exactly what he was doing. When my wedding day began I was running a bit behind schedule and Jimmy was waiting for my bridal crew and me to arrive but he was ready to go and had everyone feeling great ! He made my fiancé and I laugh & helped everyone feel super comfortable. He is very creative and as he sees his surroundings, looks for unique photo opportunities. He also successfully dealt with my bridal party who weren’t the easiest to manage. He had a great way of getting amazing shots of the ceremony and the dancing without ever being in the way. Everyone had nothing but great things to say about him & his lighting assistant. When I received my photos I was truly in awe of the wonderful memories I’ll have for the rest of my life. Even the USB that he sent us came packaged in a professional and beautiful case. I would recommend Jimmy to anyone and everyone who wants to have an amazing wedding experience and phots they’ll treasure forever. Thank you Jimmy!

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then Jimmy Chu's photography is a novel. My husband and I had the unbelievable fortune of finding Jimmy Chu just a few months before our wedding. He drove all the way out to Long Island to meet with us the first time and was personable, professional and excited from the get-go! We got once-in-a-lifetime photos from our engagement shoot at Bethpage Black Golf Course following the PGA Championship (my husband and I are both avid players). They were stunning, and made only reaffirmed that fate had played a role in bringing us Jimmy Chu. Our wedding day photos are surreal. Jimmy and his assistant Will somehow captured all the right moments without ever being seen. They were fantastic! You can tell how passionate Jimmy Chu is as a photographer and that he truly loves what he does. We cannot thank him enough for blessing us with such beautiful memories. I would recommend Jimmy Chu as naturally as I breathe. He is a diamond in the rough - truly special!

We got married in Central Park - April 2019, we planned our wedding all the way from the UK. Obviously every couple want the perfect pictures to be able to remember their special day so we were apprehensive leading up. However Jimmy Chu is the man for the job- our pictures are out of this world we are struggling to choose which ones to get on the wall. He made us both feel at ease and boy did he capture our special day in style. Despite the rain Jimmy did not disappoint! His style, ideas are next to none! Highly highly recommend! 10/10 x

Jimmy was enthusiastic about the engagement photos. He already had a clear idea of where to go for great colors and backgrounds. He was as well prepared for the engagement shoot as he was for the wedding day. He knew we were running on a tight schedule and got us to the right places at the right time. He never missed a beat. Last but not least, his pictures were fantastic - very similar to the rest of the photos in his portfolio so there weren't any surprises in the final results.

Jimmy is a very talented photographer, and just a very nice person in general. He makes you feel very much at ease, and always seems to make passers-by magically dissappear from the shots.. :-)

Overall, I was super impressed by every aspect of my experience with Jimmy, from first inquiring of his services to receiving the USB in the mail with my images, carefully packaged. He is a true professional, personable, and easy to speak with whether by phone, text, or in person. I was in search of an elopement photographer at the last minute, and Jimmy was accommodating, flexible, and arrived to the shoot ahead of schedule and prepared. We had our shoot at the Cloisters/Fort Tryon Park and his familiarity with the area was impressive and appreciated. I chose to elope on a frigid cold day, made even more slightly unbearable being so close to the Hudson river. Nonetheless, Jimmy remained efficient, and respectful of the time we booked him for, despite the frigid temperatures. I could not go even a full minute without thinking about how cold I was, yet Jimmy kept us on task giving directives while remaining courteous, creative, and leading us through this shoot. Looking at photos, the teeth chattering and any visible cues of how cold I truly was are not evident. My husband and I are extremely pleased with the finished album and his editing. We are both very grateful for his services and would recommend him in a heartbeat. He gives so much more than just quality time, he listens and is passionate about his work.

Jimmy was amazing from start to finish! We planned our wedding in only 5 months and working with him made the process 1000x easier. Our initial meeting, he drove out to us to discuss packaging and was willing to travel for the engagement photoshoot. On the day of our wedding, his creativity shined through his gorgeous pictures and memories that he captured for us. Jimmy had amazing ideas for different shots and this made working with him so easy. He helped make this day so special for us. We are in love with all of our photos and can't thank Jimmy and his team enough for their expert eye!

Jimmy and his assistant Will were beyond amazing. I could not be more thrilled with my photos. They are stunning! Jimmy has a unique vision when it comes to photography. It drizzled on my wedding and Jimmy captured amazing photos in the rain.

Jimmy was so great to work with not just with us but with our entire bridal party and videographer. He was so professional from the very start and so easy to communicate with. He’s very talented and captured SO MANY cool/creative shots. What I liked most about him was that he was able to be so creative within every moment of our wedding day but still captured some traditional wedding shots that we asked for. We can’t thank him enough for all the hard work he put into our photos and album.

Finding a photographer is one of the most important decisions a bride has to make, and therefore took me the longest to research. I wanted someone who was creative and had more of a photojournalistic style, but didn't break the bank. Jimmy not only fit the description, but exceeded it! He was very responsive and was able to meet me and my fiancé close to where we worked. He took the time to explain his style and get to know us better. The fact that the package came with the engagement session only solidified our decision. He is passionate about what he does and it shows in his work. Jimmy is very easy to get along with and made us feel as comfortable as possible in front of the camera. He is prompt and always on schedule, which is essential on the wedding day, and worked seamlessly with my other vendors, including the videographer. I trust Jimmy wholeheartedly and would recommend him to anyone who asked. In fact, I already did and she signed with him as well! The photos came out beautifully and in record time. He even mailed the USB drive to us, which was very convenient. Don't hesitate to book Jimmy. He's the best!

I have never written an online review in my life- but Jimmy and his team truly deserve acknowledgement for the job they did at our wedding. I trusted Jimmy so much that I paid him in full a month prior to the wedding. His creativity made our ENTIRE wedding process an everlasting memory - I would recommend Jimmy to anyone in need of photography, period. You are welcome to contact me with any questions regarding Jimmy's work - Steve & Christan Licul

Creative genius! My husband and I discovered Jimmy's amazing and creative work on Instagram. I immediately fell in love with his creativity and not just your typical portrait shots. We hired Jimmy to capture both our day 1 Hindu ceremony and day 2 Reception. He was always on time, very accommodating, and so easy to work with. Even though we had a few hiccups along the way, Jimmy was a voice of reason and knew what had to be done to get us our beautiful shots. He truly went above and beyond in capturing our special days!

I don't know how I got so lucky to stumble upon Jimmy - but what a gem! He is truly a professional: on time, clear communication, CREATIVE as hell and cares immensely about his work. Jimmy is worth every penny and beyond. If you don't want cookie cutter wedding photos -- he is your man. Even though my "special day" was rained on and honestly not at all what I imagined it to be...Jimmy somehow salvaged it by presenting stunning photos that made me forget what miserable weather we had. I truly enjoyed working with him and would recommend him to anyone -- wedding or not -- he will capture the special moments that you'd want to remember forever.

Extremely impressed with Jimmy‘s work! My husband and I hired him for our August 11 2018 wedding at the Shadowbrook at Shrewsberry. His package prices are not only reasonable but they are generous he included an incredible engagement photo session that was very unique all around downtown Brooklyn and was extremely patient with up to four outfit changes showcasing Different looks for my husband and I to capture our personality and relationship. The work that he did for actual wedding day was above and beyond he was extremely reliable and his assistant had a great personality they both bounced each other in the photo session. The photos are hands-down breathtaking so extremely unique and unlike any photos I’ve ever seen I did not want a standard traditional pose here pose they’re kind of photo session I wanted something more journalistic a natural and he captured our story from so many different interesting angles and lighting techniques. I am very pleased with him and different looks for my husband and I to capture our personality and relationship.

My husband and I got married in Central park, New york in June and the photographs are absolutely amazing!! Being from the UK we couldn't meet Jimmy before the wedding so we could only go off pictures he had posted online. He was brilliant! Would definitely recommend Jimmy to anyone looking for wedding photography in New York.

Loved Jimmy from the start. He is professional, always answered any questions I had in a timely manner, and really made my husband and I feel comfortable while taking the pictures. He gets super creative shots and makes sure to capture what you want on the big day. He is a really nice guy and we had a great time working with him!

We are really happy we found Jimmy Chu!-- He was a pleasure to work with. We did our research into photographers and fell in love with Jimmy's work. We scheduled a time to meet and really appreciated his enthusiasm and warm vibe. On the day of, everything went seamless -- from capturing our first look in Dumbo, until the very end of our wedding. It is clear he is passionate about what he does and that he has an eye for it. From the pictures he showed us during the day and the few he's sent so far, we are definitely happy we chose him. We can't wait to see the rest of the photos in a few weeks.
