Jose Almeida Photography

ust a pleasure. We would recommend him in a heartbeat. We feel truly blessed to have worked with him.

much more value out of them compared to most generic wedding photographers who have expensive packages. Jose and his team are so creative and will give you magazine editorial quality of photos. He has a serious vision for photos. We are so happy we had Jose photograph our wedding. Our Wedding Party couldn’t stop talking about how fantastic Jose was all Wedding Day. We are obsessed with our Wedding Photos.

paration and was undetectable during the shoot! A+ guy, and A+ service. And the shots, everyone loves them! and he turned them around very quickly. Helped make the moment timeless.

reached out to Jose. From the very first phone call my fiancee and I had with Jose we knew he was exactly who we were looking for. He listened to all of our concerns and was very connectable! We hired him right after our first call! We live in Bensalem and our wedding was in the Poconos so we had to meet essentially via phone most of the time. This was never a problem! We had so many amazing phone calls with Jose who continued to reassure us and answer all of our questions. Jose was so quick to reply via text as well with any questions we had. About a month out Jose took time to personally meet us on the weekend at our venue to discuss things in person. To say that he goes above and beyond for his clients is an understatement. There truly are no words to describe him! On the day of the wedding he showed up and the room became even more excited as we knew some of the moments we were sharing getting ready were going to start getting captured! Everyone including my guest praised Jose and Shawn (his partner photographer). It was like he was everywhere at one time but was never in the way. I felt so comfortable with him and so did my entire bridal party. He stayed the entire night and captured the most incredible moments. His artistic eye is truly wonderful. After the wedding the communication did not stop, he continued to answer questions and worked so hard to get us our first look at the pictures quickly which is amazing considering we got married in prime wedding season. HIS WORK IS BEAUTIFUL! My husband and I could not believe the quality and care he took in every little detail including a personal handwritten letter thanking both of us for letting him photograph our day. It is us however that should be saying thank you to Jose for his incredible work and the moments that he captured for us. My husband and I both feel that we made a friend in Jose and he is someone that we will never forget! We already are talking to him about a maternity shoot when we become pregnant. I recommend Jose to anyone and everyone who would ask, I feel so blessed to have had him for my wedding day!

end Jose and his amazing work. We are still in awe over our photos. They are so beautiful. They are true works of art.

ngagement photos in a state park to our wedding in a planetarium, his shots were beautiful with a dramatic flair. We got a ton of different fun shots and double exposures, absolutely gorgeous portraits, and the family photos and candids were great. Throughout the whole process, Jose was professional, friendly, and very easygoing. He was on-time, responded quickly, and delivered photos well above my expectations (for a very reasonable price!). The photos were delivered in a nice memento box with a handwritten note - a nice touch. We can't recommend him enough!

nging from the candid to the staged photos and all came out amazing! I would recommend him to all my friends and family.

came across Jose and I fell in love with his portfolio not only because of the artistic quality of his pictures but that he seemed to capture more moments rather than forcing poses, and that he did! Every aspect of my wedding was captured in his photos as candid shots, which we loved! My husband and I could not have more pleased with our photos and Jose in general. He took time to search around our venue to find the perfect place to take pictures of us allowing us to leave our reception for a short duration to capture individual photos and even the photos he did take of us posing were elegant, classy, and timeless. For my husband to be impressed and love our photos speaks volumes to the work Jose will bring to your wedding. Even the gift box he gave us with all our photos was a symbol of the quality and time he gives to his clients. I would recommend him for all my functions. We are not engagement photo people either and now he is using that portion of our wedding package to take photos of our new addition to our family, our daughter. He is amazing and professional!

at we did not have to miss our cocktail hour. He was accommodating to this with a detailed timeline to make sure that he took every shot we wanted prior to the start of the ceremony. Throughout our wedding he was in the background capturing the night. He was right there for all of the important moments throughout. He was also very accommodating to any requests for pictures throughout the night. We thank Jose for capturing our special moments throughout our wedding.

osing. That's what he did and the results were nothing less than perfect.

amazing shots without getting in our way at all. We would definitely recommend him!

ne we were going to hire! When we met Jose he was professional, easy to communicate with and had a great presence about him. On the day of our wedding Jose was very punctual and went according to plan. We did not have to worry about our photographer AT ALL. He had everything covered and was so pleasant to work with. His photos were so amazing and really told a story. His vision is a wow factor for sure. He will deliver exactly what you want! He captured every single moment and you can feel the energy and vibes through his photos. They will for sure give you goose bumps and even a few tears of joy! We are extremely happy we hired Jose for our special day. Jose, you are such a fantastic photographer. Your photography skills are sick! Thank you for contributing in making our wedding day so perfect and taking shots of things we would never have seen or remembered. Your talent, skills and ability to tell a story without words is what makes you- you. We appreciate you being a part of the family that day and can't thank you enough. We highly recommend Jose. You will not be disappointed.

s and what we wanted out of our photos. It takes a lot to trust someone to shoot your big day, but Jose is worth of that trust.

ceived a USB with all of the photos within two weeks (much faster than I had anticipated) and the results are amazing. My family has commented that they have too many great pictures to pick from. To top it off, Jose's prices were the best I was able to find. Overall, Jose is wonderful to work with, takes beautiful photos, and is fairly priced.

few photos as he took them. This gave me confidence that they would come out fantastic. I would 100% recommend Jose to anyone looking for a photographer. We are so excited for him to shoot our wedding!

e about Jose was you wont see him during your wedding because hes too busy hiding in a bush to capture "the" moment. You wont just have regular posey pictures you will have your moments captured. Jose felt like he was apart of our family and he honestly was the last person I had to worry about on a day that could be so stressful. We highly recommend Jose not just as a photographer but an artist.

mily portraits, everything we asked for and more! My husband and I highly recommend Jose if you are looking for a talented, creative, and fun photographer!

rom other engagement pictures I’ve seen. I would definitely recommend him and I cannot wait to see how our wedding photos turn out next year!

looking at my wedding day pictures, its unreal how Jose capture our beautiful day. Not only did Jose find unique, artistic and creative ways to capture our moments, but he was patient with us (we're a talkative bunch). I would highly recommend Jose if you need a wedding photographer, he truly went above and beyond. The next morning I received a sample photo from the wedding and it was beautiful! I really lucked out working with Jose as a photographer, it truly made wedding planning less stressful and was a great addition to the day! Thank you again :)

for our engagement photo shoot, Jose went above and beyond to make sure we were enjoying ourselves while he captured the essence of our relationship. The pictures were nothing short of stunning. He also had our photos done and sent to us in about 2 days after our shoot, which was amazingly prompt given the obvious quality and effort he puts into making sure every picture is perfect. In short, Jose is simply amazing. He has a true gift for capturing a moment and mood instead of a stilted image. Aside from saying "yes" when my fiance popped the question, booking Jose Almeida as our photographer was one of the best decisions ever!

pective. It was immediately clear that he is both very creative and technical. I am SO happy he was available for my wedding day! Like the other reviews mention on this page, Jose is incredibly talented and easy to work with. He has a great eye for composition and lighting, and he delivered very artful, elegant photos of our wedding that we will treasure forever. I should also mention that I booked my wedding from across the country, and had no trouble at all communicating with Jose. He is very responsive and dedicates plenty of time to answering questions and noting preferences. We came up with a shot list and a timeline, which helped me organize my schedule for the wedding day. Weeks later, I am still receiving comments from family and friends regarding the photos. To quote a text from my father-in-law, "these are amazing. You must be extremely pleased with your photographer." We are!! Thank you Jose!!

y. Our phone conversations leading up to the big day were great. Jose made us feel very comfortable as we discussed all the details. We live in NC and our wedding was in PA so we met with him a few months before the wedding on location to go over timelines, shot locations, etc. He made sure that he knew exactly what pictures we wanted and what we were looking for. The day of the wedding Jose and his second photographer Jerry were everywhere capturing things we would never have even thought of. We even went offsite with our bridal party to take some shots. He kept us on schedule, and got some great shots that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. His photos are magical and we could not be more pleased with our decision to use JCA Photography. If you are having your wedding in the Poconos/North East PA/NJ/NY area do yourself a favor and check out his work at https://www.jca.photography/. You will fall in love just like we did. Jose, we cannot thank you enough!

wife and I couldn't be happier for all his help before and during our wedding. He used the landscape to frame beautiful shots, even in the wind and rain of the Poconos, and provided us a very nice mix of light and dark, black & white and color, and serious and funny photos from our big day. He got some great ones of our dog, too. Even when he had a family emergency pop up that potentially conflicted with our wedding date he went out of his way to arrange another local photographer as a stand-in, just in case he wasn't able to make it. He did make it, and we are so grateful for the time and effort he put in. I would recommend him to anyone without hesitation.

him. He is very patient and easy to work with. He has a real natural talent for taking photos and we love his work! Looking forward to having him take our wedding photos in September!! :-)

ring all the stress of the wedding day. He has the ability to make you feel comfortable, which makes being photographed a lot more natural and fun. When my wife and I first met him, we were impressed with his attention to detail; our wedding ceremony was different than the norm, but Jose took time to look up details about the wedding service and talked with us to have a thorough understanding of how the day would go. Jose provides shot request lists which made it easy for both him and us to be on the same page in terms of what photos we really wanted to get. Jose was quick to respond via text or email and was willing to work around our schedules to do multiple pre-wedding meetings. Jose possesses a strong desire to have everything done right, and he is willing to go the extra mile to make sure you get the photographs you want. As a photographer, we were drawn to several aspects of his style. He isn't intrusive when taking pictures, but also does not hesitate to grab your attention if he sees a good shot to take. Another thing we liked about Jose is that he doesn't shy away from indoor shots. Many of the photographers we met were reluctant to work with some of our indoor requests; considering that most of the wedding service and reception were inside a building, it was very important to us to find a photographer who could take good indoor photos. Jose was up to the challenge and produced many wonderful pictures without the need for natural outdoor light. Our outdoor pictures were fantastic too, but keep in mind that you need a photographer who can shoot any moment...and that's Jose. Another aspect of his style we enjoyed was Jose's eye for catching candid moments. He is good at spotting the beauty of a smile, a laugh, a tear...moments that just can't be posed. To sum up: from a professional standpoint, Jose is easy to work with but also provides good structure if you need direction. Regardless of location, Jose is able to find beauty in many ways, whether you're in a beautiful location outside or very sweaty from dancing all night at the reception. My wife and I highly recommend the services Jose offers.
