JP photographed our 3 event long big Indian wedding in Raleigh, NC! From the time of our initial intake with him, getting to know him, chatting about the timeline, to the weekend itself, he was the most personable and professional vendor we could have asked for! He kept us calm and cool throughout the planning even if the nuances of an Indian wedding was new to him. His work is also INCREDIBLE! We wanted a very bright, airy, and vibrant product from JP and he delivered. We highly recommend him for your photo needs. He is super adaptable and his work is amazing!! Thank you JP!!

JP is a fantastic wedding photographer. He is so talented: it is clear that he has a vision for the framing and lighting of each photo. He makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera, while also giving posing direction. We got to meet JP several times in the run-up to our wedding: two engagement sessions (one rained out at the beach, one garden session with better weather, both with incredible photos as the result), at my bridal portraits where JP skillfully took beautiful portraits inside a studio he had never worked from before, and then finally at our wedding. By then it really like we knew him, which made it feel more like a friend was taking our photos than anything else. We already knew that he was wildly talented, but at the wedding it became clear that he is also very efficient. We got through all of the family and wedding party photos with time to spare!
The hardest part of the wedding was the days right after, because you've spent a year planning this huge party and suddenly it's already happened. But then, just 48 hours after our wedding, we got the sneak peak of our photos and we got to look through them, while jetting off to our honeymoon, and relive some of our favorite moments together. And then weeks after that, when life had fully returned to normalcy, we got to do it all over again with the full wedding album.
Investing in these photos was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Every single one of them turned out beautifully and we know that we are going to cherish them the the memories they hold for the rest of our lives.
Thank you, JP! You made our perfect day last forever.

JP is an incredible photographer and he captured our wedding day so beautifully. He makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera and has a fantastic vision for how all of the photos are framed, the direction he gives to everyone in the shot, etc. He is also incredibly efficient, which is great if you have large families to photograph. His wife Teresa was his photography assistant on our day, and she is the most warm and kind person who helped make everything run so smoothly. They are just such talented and lovely people. I couldn't recommend JP and his team more.

My husband and I booked JP after we saw his amazing work at our friends wedding. Him and his team are kind, personable, and talented. They captured every detail perfectly and made the experience so fun! I loved working with him and would recommend him to anyone searching for someone to capture their big day.

I had the absolute pleasure of having JP Pratt as our wedding photographer, and I can't say enough good things about him. From start to finish, JP demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism and skill that truly made our special day even more memorable.
He was always in the right place at the right time, capturing all the important moments without ever feeling intrusive. This allowed my spouse and me to fully enjoy our day while knowing that every precious moment was being expertly documented. Additionally, he was great at managing our entire family and bridal party to ensure we got beautiful shots.
The pictures that JP delivered were nothing short of stunning. He has an incredible eye for detail and a knack for capturing the most beautiful shots. When we received our photos, we were absolutely blown away by the quality and creativity in every single shot. We couldn't be happier with the final product. It was evident that he genuinely cared about capturing our day just the way we envisioned it.
We are incredibly grateful to JP for preserving our wedding day, engagement photos and bridals with such elegance and skill, and we highly recommend his services to anyone in need of a talented photographer. Thank you, JP, for giving us a treasure trove of memories that we will cherish forever!

I was blown away with how beautiful the photos from our wedding day were. JP worked very hard to capture lovely pictures. It rained a little on our wedding day, but you couldn't tell it from the pictures. They were fabulous! JP was very nice and a huge help on our wedding day. I took bridal portraits with JP before my wedding, and the photos were just as stunning as our wedding day pictures. JP was prompt in responding to me and a joy to work with. You will not be disappointed if you hire him!

My husband and I made photography one of our biggest priorities for our wedding. We wanted to have spectacular photographs that would take us back to our day and each special moment every time we looked at them. Well... we got our wish and more! From the beginning, JP was a pleasure to work with. He has always been responsive, kind, and down-to-earth. We got to know JP better through an engagement session and a bridal portrait session, and by the time the wedding day rolled around, we felt like we were catching up with a friend!
JP and his wife Teresa photographed our wedding day, and they were such warm, calming presences. They worked thoughtfully and efficiently, and the wedding party loved working with them, too! Looking at the photographs, I'm in awe of the attention to details - lighting, colors, and staging. The talent and vision have blown me away! The quick turnaround for photographs also impressed me - our wedding teasers (a whopping 74 photographs) arrived within 48 hours, and our whole wedding collection arrived less than 6 weeks after the big day, even with holidays in between. I am SO impressed, and receiving the collection so soon was a wonderful surprise. My husband and I are so thankful for our beautiful photographs, and we have had such a special experience reliving our best day ever thanks to JP and Teresa.

There are not enough characters in this post to say all the wonderful things about JP Pratt that should be said! From our first conversation with JP, my husband and I felt like we were talking to an old friend. JP went above and beyond to make sure that we felt comfortable and had all our questions answered. He even came up to DC where we live to do our engagement session which was so special and such a great way to get to know him. On our wedding day, his wife, Teresa, was his second photographer and she was just as spectacular. They made us and our entire wedding party so comfortable and really made an effort to let us enjoy our wedding as much as possible while still making time for photos. The photos from JP are outstanding and he has an incredible way of capturing great candid shots, especially of our guests on the dance floor! Not only does JP deliver phenomenal photos, but he is such a pleasure to work with!

JP was amazing from start to finish! We found JP and fell in love with his work before we even found a venue or officially set our date in fact when I found my venue I made sure to pick a date that he would be available . While I knew I loved his work before I reached out to him I also wanted someone who would help my husband and I feel at ease during the process. After our first consultation phone call I knew he would be perfect to work with, and he was! There are no words to express how grateful I am to have worked with JP from engagements to bridals to finally the wedding day JP captured every day perfectly, never seemed stressed and always had an answer or solution to any question I had. He was more than willing to capture anything that was important to us. His photos now hang around our home and every time I see one I smile remembering our day!

JP was the photographer of our dreams! Not only is his work absolute perfection, but he was responsive and so helpful throughout our wedding journey! Every little question we had, JP had an answer for… often within minutes!
Our engagement and wedding photos are breathtaking, and I can’t wait for the next big life event that I need photographs for! We had an unexpected death in our family following the wedding before our photos were back, and JP went above and beyond to share a few extra photos with us all together that we will all cherish for ever. Truly the best photographer, we can’t say enough good things about him!

Your photographer is one of the most important vendors that you will book on your wedding day - JP Pratt is the best, so if you see this review and are considering him, go ahead and book him! We first found out about JP through our planner and he was the second vendor we booked for our wedding.
From our intro / get to know you call to the wedding day, JP has been nothing less than perfection. He is an excellent communicator and was helpful in navigating any questions I had in advance of the wedding (e.g., bridesmaid dress colors that would photograph well, timeline questions, venue scouting, picture locations) and was always prompt and helpful. JP was there for us every step of the way from when we booked, and we are so lucky to have had him. He helped us finalize the timeline in terms of photography and where people needed to be / when. He knew every detail from logistics to family photos to navigating tricky situations with groupings of families.
JP spent an hour with us capturing our rehearsal dinner, which was a great way to get to know him and have him capture out closest friends and family and details of that night. On the wedding day, he showed up energized and ready to go. He really helped keep us on track throughout the day, get pictures done quickly and efficiently, and made the day fun. We are not natural in front of the camera, and he helped to direct us and make us feel comfortable. He felt like a friend by the time he left the rehearsal dinner!
JP's photos are truly gorgeous and something we will treasure forever. He captured all the moments, big and small, and the pictures are bright, happy, and overall perfection. When I woke up the day after our wedding, we already had a teaser with several photos from our wedding. It was great to share with family, friends, and social media before the rest of the pictures arrived a few weeks later! He captured everything and more that we could have asked for and put the joy of the day and our memories into pictures that are incredibly special.
Thank you JP for everything from start to finish! We so appreciate you!!

JP is the gold standard for wedding photography. When we saw his talent, we knew we had to have him as our wedding photographer. In fact, we wouldn’t even book our wedding venue until we knew he was available on our potential date. Looking back, hiring him was the best decision in building our wedding team. JP is professional, an excellent communicator, punctual, creative, and just a kind human. Before meeting JP we had never had any professional photos taken together. JP did such a phenomenal job of helping to guide us in our portraits and his personality truly put us at ease, resulting in gorgeous, effortless photos! We ended up working with JP on four different occasions for photos and every single time he was wonderful and the photos he delivered were beautiful. JP takes the time to get to know you as a couple which makes taking photos with him fun and easy. We had to postpone our wedding two different times because of the pandemic and JP was so flexible and supportive of our changes, which truly meant the world at such a stressful time. At our wedding we met his wife, Teresa (second shooter), and she was amazing! She too has such an artistic eye for photography and detail and is just the sweetest person. JP and Teresa work beautifully together which made our wedding day pictures run so smoothly. I would highly recommend checking their availability before you book your venue. JP and Teresa are truly THE power photographer couple that you must have at your wedding!

JP and Teresa are truly the best! We had such an amazing experience with them from our engagement shoot to our wedding day. JP did an amazing job at shooting our Biltmore wedding and the photos are STUNNING. The Biltmore is such a large venue, we had 20 people in our wedding party, and almost a 300 person wedding, and JP handled it was such ease!! I am so beyond thankful to have been able to get to know JP and Teresa and have pictures that are perfect in every way.
My husband and I first met JP and Teresa over the phone and we clicked instantly. Choosing a wedding photographer was the most important part of wedding planning for me because wedding photos are the one thing that last forever and I wanted to make sure that they were perfect. As soon as we started talking to JP and Teresa I knew it was a match. It was as if we were instantly friends with them--they are so genuine and easy to get along with! I also had a ton of questions and wanted to see several galleries that JP had previously done, and they were both very accommodating and I had zero worries.
Our engagement photos were included as part of our wedding package and we had a blast with JP. It was so much fun working with him and again, just so easy to be ourselves! We were genuinely interested in getting to know him better as a person throughout our engagement and felt that the feeling was reciprocated. JP also always made sure that we were happy with our shots. Even in our engagement photos JP made sure to ask us what look we wanted and if there were any shots we absolutely needed to have (which he also did on our wedding).
Words can't even begin to explain how amazing of a job JP and Teresa did at capturing our wedding. We had a large bridal party with a ton of energy and they came prepared and matched our enthusiasm. You can see in our photos how happy and how much fun we all had during the getting ready process and the wedding party photos. JP and Teresa did a wonderful job at organizing and setting up our shots. They both are so attentive to details and have a good vision that I didn't have to worry at all. Our wedding day was peak summer in North Carolina so it was hot and humid... add a heavy wedding gown and a suit and we were sweating during our photos. But JP was so helpful in making sure we got all the shots we needed in one location before moving on to help minimize how much we were sweating from walking around. Teresa was an absolute angel because she helped me wipe my sweat and also was the BIGGEST hype woman ever! It can get tiring smiling for pictures over and over again especially when it is hot out, but Teresa had a way of commenting on how great we looked, or that the shot was beautiful that made the process so easy. They both did little things like that on our wedding day that were just so comforting and made it so much fun to be with them! JP sent us a sneak peak to our gallery within 3 (!!) days of our wedding. I was so surprised and happy that he took the time to edit some of the photos so quickly. Our entire wedding gallery is stunning. It is better than I could have ever dreamed of! Our friends and family have not stopped talking about how stunning the photos are and how amazing JP and Teresa are, both professionally and personally.
I will forever recommend JP to everyone I know and we will continue to use JP for any future photography that we want. JP Pratt is truly the best photographer you could ever dream of to shoot your wedding day!!!

JP Pratt is absolutely amazing!! There are not enough great things I can say about him as a person and a photographer. He made us feel so comfortable and natural from day 1 and I can truly say he captured us as a couple perfectly. He took the time to get to know us and became a friend.
After having to reschedule our wedding 3 times, thanks to the pandemic, he was so kind and flexible in working with us. We also had a rather large wedding party and he was so helpful and efficient when organizing pictures and the whole day of schedule, locations, etc. I am so grateful for JP and all the memories he captured and how I can re live the day through the beautiful pictures forever. I would recommend him to anyone and everybody. He is the best!!!!!

My wedding day was beyond amazing- and JP beautifully captured every moment. I cannot thank him enough for the gorgeous… and I mean gorgeous photos!! I’m an awkward turtle who never knows where to look and he directs gently while making sure you are having the time of your life! I had full faith in him and he most certainly delivered.
I always felt like he made us feel special! He had two large weddings in one weekend and took care to highlight each one so that there wasn’t a “main wedding” and a “second wedding!” It’s the little things that truly go a long way.
Book JP! I most wholeheartedly recommend.

There aren't enough words to describe how happy and grateful I am that JP was our wedding photographer! The minute I saw his pictures I knew I wanted him at our wedding. I first reached out to JP in October of 2018, and since then he has not only been a wonderful, professional vendor, but an amazing person. He helped us get through our awkwardness of doing our engagement photos and made them look incredible. He was so flexible and kind when we had to reschedule our wedding TWICE due to the pandemic. On wedding day, he brought his wife Teresa as the second shooter, and I swear they are 2 of the best people I've ever met. They are kind, comforting, and so beyond talented. The entire album was EXACTLY what I wanted and know that I will never need another photographer as long as we are in the Raleigh area!

JP is not only talented but he has this ability to make you feel so comfortable and fun when in the presence of a Camera! I knew JP does light and natural photography which is what I wanted. I wanted classic not necessarily heavily filtered photos! JP does a phenomenal job capturing your day the way it actually is; not just to get good photos, and he does this all while providing you photos that could be published in magazines! He is not only a good photographer but such a good person as well!!

When thinking about how I wanted my wedding day to be captured, I knew I wanted someone who did not over-edit, let natural beauty shine, and was able to capture the serious and candid moments. We met JP for the first time face-to-face for our engagement pictures in the fall of 2019. We felt like we had known JP for much longer! His fun and warm personality made us feel at ease and you can see this in our pictures. His photography knowledge and professionalism were exhibited during my bridal portraits at a venue he had never shot at before. His eye for the proper lighting, background, and angle of the bride are unmatched. When it came to our wedding day, JP and his wife, captured our big day in a way that we can relive it every time we look through our pictures.

After a long search for a photographer, we found JP, and we could not have been more thrilled with our choice. JP was very easy to work with in many senses. He knows how to work with his clients to help them get the best poses and photos. He makes the photoshoot process fun and not stressful. He makes scheduling easy and is very organized in his approach to the wedding day and preparation for it. He made it a priority to get the photos that we wanted , but also used his artistic license to capture some truly beautiful moments. He delivered the photos on time, but also gave some teasers early on in the process to help share our day even earlier. Be sure to have plenty of hard drive space available, because you will want to keep each and every photo. My wife and I would 100% recommend JP to anybody looking for a professional photographer for their wedding.

I can’t even begin to explain how thankful we are that we booked JP as our photographer. His photos are obviously incredible, but what makes JP stand out from other photographers is how genuine he is and how easy he is to connect with. From the first conversation we had with him, he made an effort to learn about us and get to know us. From our engagement session to our wedding day, he felt like a friend. We had to reschedule our engagement session last minute due to weather and JP was so kind, flexible, and helped us find the perfect locations to take photos. He even let us use two different locations for our engagement session so we had a billion amazing photos with incredible backgrounds!! We had a small, intimate wedding, and took our wedding photos at a nearby park. JP made a public park look like a million bucks (he is a true miracle worker!!). Him and his wonderful wife Teresa are an incredible team and have such an eye to make every photo perfect. They are the kind of photographers that you can fully trust to capture your wedding day and give you photos to treasure forever. JP will make an effort to get to know you and your fiancé as people, not just clients for business. That kind of intentionality is rare but makes JP the best photographer you can pick. We cannot recommend JP enough!!

We absolutely LOVE JP's work, personality, photography style, and the way he slips in so many creative shots throughout the day. We couldn't have been more pleased with how everything turned out. We loved how he took time to get to know us and our story before the wedding - showed how much he loves the people he works with. His fun personality made us so comfortable as he was getting shots before and after the wedding. It was a blast having him and Teresa capture our day! 10/10 would recommend.

First, let me just say BOOK JP PRATT!
Now, I will explain why. We were engaged in December and decided to get married 9 months later in September. Cue the maddening whirlwind of wedding planning. Once we had our date set I knew I wanted to book a photographer first. After meeting JP for coffee we decided it was a no brainer that we wanted him to photograph our engagement pics and wedding and booked him immediately. Then came the pandemic. Of the many vendors that we booked for the wedding, JP was the only one who took the time to reach out to ask how we were doing and asked what he could help us with. During all of the insanity and uncertainty that quarantine had brought us, it meant the absolute world to me.
Once we decided that we were going ahead with the wedding, we met for engagement pics (which turned out flawlessly) and we just got married last weekend. From start to finish everything has been such an easy process with JP. He and his wife Teresa, who was our second shooter, have such a calming presence and are so willing to help. In addition to that, every single one of our pictures are to die for. I can't imagine them being any more perfect. They really have a knack for catching us in the moment. If I had to do it all over again, I would book JP over and over again without ever thinking twice.

I absolutely could not have been more impressed with JP from start to finish. As soon as I found JPs photos on his website I knew I needed to have him be a part of our big day! We were planning our wedding in Wake Forest while living in Charlotte, so we set up some time to chat with JP before booking and felt like he understood our vibe immediately. We finally met in person for our engagement photos in Chapel Hill and were so blown away not only by how beautiful the photos were but also how comfortable JP made us feel. We had to postpone our original wedding date due to COVID and JP could not have been more accommodating for both the change in plans for the wedding day but also having to change the plan for my bridal portraits. We got to meet JPs wife Teresa on wedding day and spending the day with them both was just like spending a day catching up with old friends. From start to finish, JP listened and asked what was most important to us. His attention to detail is unparalleled and our photos from every session with him are absolutely phenomenal. We could not be more grateful to have worked with JP and I can say with absolute certainty that our wedding memories would not be the same without him. Photos were one of the most important items to me when planning our wedding, and we hit the ultimate jackpot with JP. We’re looking forward to hopefully having the opportunity to create new memories in the future to document with JP!

It took several weeks to find the perfect photographer, my wedding was held on Long Island, NY. Probably the most friendly, professional and wonderful vendor I have worked with!
JP did an amazing job capturing my engagement photo session in Charleston. It was great to have an engagement session before the wedding date to become familiar in front of the camera and how to work with JP.
Fast forward to our wedding day, I met JP’s beautiful and wonderful wife! It was such a pleasure to have them both capture our wedding day! He’s my go to recommendation for a professional photographer, you won’t regret it 😊

JP came recommended to us for our engagement and wedding pictures from another photographer and we couldn't be happier! Not only are his photos and vision incredible but he is such an amazing person to be around. He made what can be a somewhat uncomfortable situation (posing for pictures) very fun and a lot more relaxed than I was expecting! He is organized, genuine, and truly cares about you as a couple. I have had several friends ask me who I used for pictures and I have eagerly and happily recommended JP to them! We are excited to use him for our newborn and family photo shoots in the future and hope to continue our relationship with him for many years.

If you're looking for a laid back, professional, awesome and kickass photographer, I could not recommend JP more highly. He turned our Corona Virus wedding into our dream one. Due to Covid, my husband and I had to change our original plans for a 350+ Chicago wedding and plan a last minute 16 person NC wedding. I had been in contact with JP from the year before because he almost shot our engagement photos. I've always loved his style so I decided to reach out to him about photographing out last minute wedding, just a few months before the date. I cannot describe how great and comfortable he made us feel from the first response we got from him just a few hours after our inquiry. He was so understanding and we planned a phone call right away. In the midst of Corona Virus and all of our plans changing for our dream wedding, I remember feeling like I was going through things a mile a minute. Immediately he made me feel a sense of calm. He is so laid back and flexible and was up for anything. He talked through every detail with excitement and never made my one million questions feel excessive. He was so genuinely interested in learning about Hunter and I, our relationship and our vision for our wedding. On the day of the wedding he arrived right on time, wore a mask and helped create a calmness around a typically stressful atmosphere. He spent a bit of time shooting detail shots and throughout the day somehow never missed any of our favorite interactions. He made a huge impression on my whole family and new exactly what kind of shots he was looking for. It was really helpful when we didn't quite know what to do. Before walking down the aisle we had a bit of time to talk, he is so personable and helped calm family members down when we forgot the veil lol. Hunter and I are definitely planning on using him in the future. He got us our teaser photos back within a week. Just his teaser photos alone were 70+ photos. His style is so beautiful, bright and natural but not washed out. He captures the emotions of the day and makes everything feel timeless. I'm so grateful for him. We received our final photos within the next month of two and we could not be happier! JP is the greatest. He's someone who brings personality, ease and so much fun to your big day!

I've had the opportunity to work with JP professionally and instantly fell in love with his style and how he captured a wedding day, telling a love story through his camera. When my husband and I got engaged, I had no doubt that JP was the perfect photographer for us! From the minute you book with JP, you know you are in good hands. I am use to being behind the scenes on a wedding day and felt a bit uncomfortable knowing that I would be the center of attention. Our engagement session took all my nerves away. He instantly made us both feel comfortable and gave us guidance on how to pose but yet feel natural. He checked in on us several times throughout the planning process to see how we were doing, communicate through details, and to see if he could be of any additional assistance to us. When it came to our wedding day, I couldn't imagine not having him and his incredibly wife (second shooter) present with us. They celebrated with us, captured all the moments of our love story and made our day such a dream. Getting to see our sneak peek photos so soon after our wedding day was the best feeling as the wedding day goes by in a flash. We loved getting to relive so many magical moments of our day through a picture. You will absolutely LOVE having JP as your wedding photographer. He is the best!

My fiancé and I hired JP to take our engagement photos. He was so easy to communicate with and helped us pick the perfect location for our pictures. We both don’t like taking pictures but JP made us feel so comfortable and at ease. We got our photos back within 2 weeks and they are the best photos that have ever been taken of us. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND him!!

JP from JP Pratt Photography is always a pleasure to work with and we highly recommend him to our couples and anyone looking for a their wedding day to be beautifully captured. JP and wife Teresa (sometimes his 2nd shooter!) are so friendly and fun that you immediately feel comfortable being in front of the camera. On wedding day JP is efficient while directing wedding party and family during portraits and he makes the most of that magic golden hour for newlyweds portraits. With each wedding that JP captures, he tells a story personal to each couple, capturing all the emotions of the day! Having worked with him on weddings in Orlando, he has expanded his territory to the Carolinas and beyond! We adore working with him and can’t wait for many more weddings together! - Blue Ribbon Weddings

JP’s work is absolute perfection. The moments he captured from our engagement shoot and wedding day are more than we ever could have imagined. His photography from the most special time in our lives seems like something out of a movie shoot. However, his work as a photographer only captures the surface of our experience with him. JP has also become an incredible friend throughout the entire process. We had such a blast laughing and sharing our joy for life and love with him at our engagement shoot. Afterwards, all we could talk about was how excited we were to hang out with JP again on our wedding day. Of course, we were ecstatic to see JP again at our wedding and meet his wife. Some of our many favorite moments from our wedding day circled around laughing and sharing our joy with JP. JP and his wife also coordinated everything with such ease and precision that we did not have to think or worry about a single detail. His professionalism and light-hearted nature made it such a breeze to pose naturally and effortlessly for the camera. Even though our wedding day has come and gone, we are able to relive the boundless joy of everything with his masterful photography that covers our home. Our families also continue to rave about JP’s work and how magnificently he captured the love and unbridled emotion of our biggest day. Now, all we can talk about is how excited we are to hang out with JP again for our anniversary shoot. Words cannot fully express how much we have loved our experience with JP. We are incredibly blessed to have worked with the best in the industry and to have made a lifelong friend in the process. JP is the only choice when it comes to your biggest day. Thank you again for everything, JP, and we cannot wait to see you again soon!

JP Pratt did our engagement shoot, my bridal portraits, and our wedding! Not only is he an incredibly kind and friendly person, he is such a talented photographer! He was such a great presence to have around. JP made all of our photo shoots very comfortable and relaxed. He captured our wedding day perfectly! A few days after our wedding, my husband and I were on our honeymoon, and I got an email from JP with some sneak peek pictures from our wedding! It was so surprising and exciting to see them so shortly after our wedding! We can't thank JP enough for all he did for us!

JP Pratt Photography gave us the most gorgeous photographs!! Simply stunning! I'm SO grateful to have these memories of the day. He uses light, color, framing, locations to create the most beautiful images. I couldn't believe how striking they were. I have gone back and looked at them a million times. The day goes so fast, JP captured it beautifully. JP is so professional and at the same time so personable. He made those around him comfortable. Could not be more pleased! Can not say enough about JP Pratt and his photography!!

Leading up to my wedding, there was always one vendor choice that I was very particular about...my photographer. I spent HOURS upon hours researching wedding photographers and somehow (luckily!) stumbled upon JP Pratt. When I came across JP's page, I knew we had found our photographer. JP is without a doubt the best vendor choice we made for our wedding day. Easily. JP and his wife are the dream team. They move around so effortlessly, always finishing each other's thoughts and already thinking the same thing about which photo in what location with which type of lighting. My husband and I are not people who love to be in the spotlight, either, and JP definitely understood that and was so relaxing and calm during the entire day. There's just some unexplainable level of comfort that we had when working with JP and his wife, Teresa. It is so clear, from the engagement shoot to every detail of the wedding day that JP is so passionate about this job. We are so lucky to have worked with two such beautiful and kind people for our big day, and I would absolutely recommend JP to any bride looking for the perfect photographer for your wedding day! There are not enough words to express how much my husband and I loved our experience with JP.

I did HOURS of research for the perfect wedding photographer. It was the one thing that I was not willing to compromise on. We found JP on The Knot and knew he would be perfect to capture our big day! JP was an absolute joy to work with! We had our engagement session, bridal portraits, and our wedding photographed by JP! Now, we have so many beautiful pictures, we're going to have to wallpaper our home with them. JP and Teresa are quick and efficient and they make a wonderful team. They quickly got all of the shots that we wanted and got us out of the heat! Teresa was our second shooter and she was constantly making sure that my dress and veil were perfect in every picture. She had an attention to detail that I really appreciated! Besides JP taking gorgeous pictures, he is also so kind and genuine and you feel like you are working with a friend! My wedding party kept saying how comfortable they felt around him and the pictures show it! We loved JP and Teresa and we cannot recommend them enough!

To truly capture JP’s art and work into one Knot review feels a little like I am cheating him because there truly aren’t enough words to express how absolutely amazing he is at what he does. I was that bride who researched for hours on end to find the absolute best wedding photographer. I knew that this was our one big day that could not be redone or recreated and that we had one shot at making sure it was documented to the absolute fullest so when I found JP I knew I had struck gold. Our entire experience from start to finish was seamless. From being flexible with the timing of our engagement shoot, to organizing our wedding day timeline, scouting out our venue so that we had the perfect back drop to every photo, ensuring all of the family and important photos were captured, being timely with edits and albums, and making our entire day a dream come true he went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. His wife Teresa was our second shooter and I was blown away by her attention to detail and her kind demeanor that brings a natural calm over you on your wedding day. Coming from a bride’s point of view, she has that female eye that makes sure you look your absolute best. She makes sure your hair is falling correctly over your shoulder, veil and dress edges are lined up perfectly, and flowers are tilted just right for the perfect shot. Having her on the team is a total game changer and I would recommend making sure the two of them be there on the big day. JP has the perfect balance of capturing those in between candid moments and the classic and timeless wedding photos that are an album must have. He somehow finds those natural and sweet times where you have a connection with a bridesmaid, guest, family member, or with your groom and he captures it without you even knowing he did so. Those are the wedding photos you that when you flip through your album you will cherish forever because they instantly transport you back to that exact moment and you remember how you felt and what you were thinking in that split second. Your wedding day goes by quickly and the fact that JP manages to find you in those moments and execute them with such beauty speaks to the highest level of talent and passion for his work. You always want to hire someone who sincerely loves what they do and that is what you will find in JP. If you book JP you will have found someone who is just as invested in your day as you are and someone that cares about you as two actual people and not just as clients. This is so much more than a job for JP but it is his passion. I am so happy to say that JP and Teresa will be our friends for a long time to come and I feel so blessed that they were the ones to gift us the precious heirloom of our wedding photos.

JP Pratt Photography was one of the best decisions we made about our wedding day. From making our engagement shoot fun and exciting in the streets of Winston-Salem to being laser focused and attentive during our big day! JP and his wife Teresa, captured every possible moment we could have hoped and the photos are absolutly stunning! They are truly amazing people and went above and beyond our expectations.

Having JP as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! Photos are such a big deal because of their sentimental value so it was important for me to find a photographer we could trust and who “got” us. JP was that photographer and we could not be any happier with how our photos turned out. He and his team were on time, prepared, and knew what they were doing. They didn’t encourage us to take all of those super posey wedding pictures you see every day. In fact, he was totally open to some ideas I had and made them into incredible photos. I truly consider what he did for us a gift. I will recommend him over and over and over again.

JP was the best we could have asked for. Not just as a photographer but out of all our vendors. From the initial inquiry and throughout the whole process, he was extremely responsive and very accommodating to our schedules, which was a great relief during the high stress times of wedding planning.
He traveled all the way to Charleston (while he was living in Florida) to shoot our engagement pictures and scope out our venue for the big day. I was a bit nervous and worried I would look awkward in all the pictures. He assured me that that wouldn’t be the case and he was right. He knows all the tips and tricks to make the shots look natural and most importantly knows how to make you laugh!
It was high tide on our wedding night and the dance floor flooded. Everyone took their shoes off, rolled their pants/dresses up and danced all night in the water. JP wasn’t scared to get in on it and did the same and we have some awesome shots because of it!
Our wedding day was the most perfect day ever and I’m so thankful JP was there to capture all the beautiful pictures and great memories to look back on!

You don't just ask anyone to take your wedding photos, they are a big deal that last forever. When looking for a photographer I wanted to find the perfect fit. This person needed to communicate well, undestand my vision and execute it flawlessly. JP went above and beyond in all three of these things.
I remember our initial conversation with JP like it was yesterday. My husband and I instantly clicked with JP and his wife. The conversation that should have been 15 min turned into a hour as we became friends. JP and his team are approachable and communicate so well. They make you feel at home and comfortable. They care about all the big and little things in your life as you get to know them.
JP is also GREAT at what he does. He executed our two photo shoots and wedding amazingly well. He didn't leave us wanting as he captured the fun in our engagement, the sophistication in my bridals and the authentic nature of our wedding. JP's photos can be found throughout our family member's houses. He has given us a special gift that will last throughout the ages. We were so honored to work with him.
You will not regret trusting JP with this important part of your wedding.

After my husband and I got engaged, we quickly realized how intimidating planning a wedding can be! We decided that if we were to have the wedding of our dreams, but also avoid getting caught up in the stress, we were going to have to prioritize choosing our vendors based upon the integrity of the business and the genuine connection that we felt with the owner/manager. After speaking with many photographers we were left feeling as though the "production" aspect of the wedding industry was threatening to detract meaning from the intimate day that my husband and I wanted above all else. That was until we met JP. JP's work not only speaks for itself in beauty and precision, but it also is centered around the couple's love story, trying to elevate that above all else. JP listened to our vision (which was quite specific, seeing as my husband is a photographer) and genuinely made it his goal. From our first meeting with JP to our wedding day, we felt like we were forming a friendship rather than completing a transaction. He shared in our excitement and thanked us on countless occasions for allowing him to be witness to our love story. We are so grateful to JP for the priceless photos that we will treasure for a lifetime as we are also thankful that we made a true friend in the process.

I wish I had stronger words to describe how incredibly TALENTED and AMAZING JP and his team are. I have had the opportunity to watch JP at work not once but twice. He was the photographer for my sister’s wedding and the minute I got engaged, I asked him to be our photographer. JP and his wife were there for every moment, tear, smile and dance move. JP is so passionate about his work and gives you confidence beyond measure. He is so considerate and helpful throughout the whole day. I would recommend JP a thousand times over. He is so kind, encouraging, supportive and energetic. JP is the best!

Couldn’t be happier with JP’s ability to capture our wedding! Inside the castle, outside on the grounds, and along an amazing Irish coastline the following day, JP was able to capture the moments with astonishing results. He worked perfectly alongside our videographer to efficiently use our valuable time on wedding day, saving us more precious time to spend with guests at our reception. JP and his wife Teresa (who is second shooter) make a wonderful team and are the epitome of relationship goals. They have a way of making you make you feel so special and important. We gave JP very little direction and left our photographs to the fate of his artistic eye and creativity. This was one of the best decisions we made during our entire wedding process. The way JP captured our day right down to the dress, shoes, rings, stationary, and all the small details surpassed our wildest dreams. People actually gasp when looking at our wedding pictures. After five minutes with JP you will see that this isn’t a job or career for him, but a deep passion and gift.

JP and his wife Teresa were absolutely incredible to work with from start to finish. They are so warm and friendly that they made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. Because we live in New York, we weren’t able to meet them in person until our wedding weekend but when we finally met they treated us like familiar friends. And of course, in addition to their kind and accommodating personalities, we could not be happier with the photos. JP and Teresa do an incredible job of capturing your day in a way that feels natural and genuine. I would recommend them a million times over!

Booking with JP is the best decision you could ever make when planning a wedding, or any event for that matter! Not only were my wedding photos everything I could ask for, HE is someone you want around on your day. JP & Theresa go above and beyond in everything they do. I came to them with practically all questions wedding-related and they make you confident & comfortable throughout the entire planning process. I can't say enough good things, and they were one of the best parts of our day. We love JP!!!

JP was incredible! He shot our engagement session and wedding along with his wife. My husband and I are so glad that we chose them! We just received our wedding photos back and we are so so pleased. He captured exactly what we hoped he would and so much more. He and his wife are so kind and precious. I never felt worried that they missed something because they were so experienced. It poured on our wedding day and it did not phase them a bit. They figured out a way to make it look like we had outside photos while standing under a covering. I am so thankful for them and the tangible memory we will have forever that they created for us. Would highly recommend!

Y’all I don’t even know where to begin! From the first email, to the actual wedding day, and even to the weeks after the wedding, JP has been amazing! He is so kind and patient and really makes you feel so comfortable throughout the entire process! Not to mention his pictures are to die for :)
JP took time to get to know us and listen to what we wanted. My husband hates getting his pictures taken and 5 minutes into our engagement session he said “well this is easy!” Haha
If you are looking for someone who, not only takes gorgeous pictures, but also truly loves getting to know you and your family and cares about what you want, JP is your guy! Our wedding would not have been the same without him, we honestly think working with JP was the best decision we made throughout the entire wedding planning process!!

We could not have asked for a better person to photograph the happiest day of our lives! JP is amazing at using natural light to capture the perfect shots. I still haven't been able to decide which photos to print and hang! There are too many to choose from! And the icing on the cake, beyond delivering an amazing product, is JP and his wife Teresa couldn't be nicer people. We truly enjoyed being around them!

Oh where do we begin with JP?! My husband and I had quite the adventure after we got engaged dealing with a lot of personal family stuff making the wedding planning process extra challenging. I truly believe JP was brought into our lives for a reason and was exactly the type of person we needed to help pick us up during the planning process. From the first time I talked to JP on the phone, to the first time we met for our engagement photo shoot, JP was so personable and easy to talk to and even more importantly made both of us so comfortable in front of the camera! Engagement photos can be super awkward but JP is so easy going and just a genuine fun person that he actually made it fun and my husband and I had the absolute best time. Our wedding day was no different, and JP and his wife just half a calmness about them that makes the day so much better. I never had to worry about our day being captured because I knew JP was on it. And our pictures are proof of that. Our engagement photos and wedding photos are something we cherish so much and I am so happy we had someone like JP capturing our special moments. And even more importantly we now have a friend in JP! I recommend him to everyone and anyone I know looking for a photographer he is truly gifted and you won't be disappointed when you hire JP! We love you, JP! Thanks for the incredible photo of the best memories of our life! - Brittny and Brendan

With so many moving pieces to planning our wedding, photography was the smoothest and most perfect piece to our giant puzzle. JP was incredible from beginning to end -- he made us feel confident that we were getting the shots we wanted not only for our engagement session, but also for our wedding day. He captured every single detail, emotion and celebration from our big night. Our families were blown away by the photos and we can't thank him enough. Hiring JP was the best decision we made!
