ding photos. Cindi provided us with the portfolios of several phenomenal photographers to chose from for our wedding photos. We ended up selecting Chloe Geiger, based on her dramatic, romantic, and genuine photography style. From our initial hour-long phone call, it was obvious to me how passionate, detail-oriented, and talented Chloe is as a photographer. She took the time to get to know me and my now husband, so she could capture our personalities on our wedding day. Chloe clearly communicated with us and promptly answered all questions we had throughout the process of wedding planning. My husband and I were impressed by how little guidance we needed to provide Chloe before we felt extremely confident in her ability to capture our celebration. Without even needing to provide Chloe with a “shot list” of the pictures we wanted, the photos she took absolutely exceeded all our expectations. Chloe was also totally on board for my idea of doing a bridal boudoir photoshoot instead of the traditional getting ready pictures. Throughout our wedding day, Chloe was a relaxed presence. She coordinated with our DJ to ensure that our day-of timeline was executed perfectly and so she didn’t miss a photo opportunity. She provided us with a preview of our wedding photos just 5 days after our event. Chloe is a true talent, and we will cherish the beautiful memories she captured from our wedding day forever. I can’t recommend Chloe and JPG Photo highly enough!

clearly discusses his style and price points in that first call with you. He works to get to know you as a couple so your photos reflect more than just your wedding day but also what makes your relationship special . Prior to the big day, Joe met with us twice to go our scheduling and lay our our “formal photos.” This was so helpful and made the rest of planning and the day of go smoothly. We were a covid wedding reschedule so we had some change in details and he was very flexible and worked with us. His package includes and engagement shoot but we chose to have him come for the rehearsal dinner instead. Our guests are STILL talking about how incredible Joe and his team were on the day of the wedding. They made our bridal party feel comfortable. They were natural and laughing with him which made the photos all the better. Joe kept us on track and made sure we got all of the photos we really wanted. He reminded my husband and I to take care of ourselves during the day and take breaks (much needed). He had previews of the photos ready THAT day to display at the wedding. Our friend who is getting married next year took his card that day because he was so amazing. After the wedding, Joe and his team turned around the previews and rehearsal photos in a week and our entire wedding in just a few weeks. The photos are outstanding, every one better than the last. Thank you Joe and everyone at JPG, you made our day incredible.

Besides our wedding, Joe did two other shoots for me. My boudoir and a cute Photoshoot with myself and my best friend. During the boudoir shoot, I was SO comfortable and not nervous at all. The photos came out so beautiful and exactly how I had envisioned them. On the day of our wedding (and even for weeks after), we kept getting compliments about how dedicated this team is and how “on top of it” they were. They got photos that I didn’t even know were being taken, and I’m so glad they were. They were so fun to work with and made everyone feel great!

Joe also brought his drone, which provided amazing, birds-eye view pictures of the car parade, while Joe himself was snapping street-level pictures of us waving as the cars drove by. My sister-in-law, who is a nurse, and my grandmother watched the ceremony from an appropriate distance. Joe was able to take separate pictures of us (for example, my grandmother and I) that will be photoshopped together so that we can still have those photos but without putting anyone at risk. I’m so appreciative that we have high quality photos to remember our friends and family who made it special for us.

If you choose to work with Joe and his team, any inconvenience of the day will be handled without skipping a beat. Rain? No problem, you’ll end up with gorgeous photos under an umbrella and they will be very creative to work with the weather or anything else that could go wrong. Makeup on your dress? Not a problem- one of the assistants will be there to clean it up right away. I could not have imagined a better entourage to have had with me on my way wedding day than this team. They are a very busy group, so don’t expect preview images like other smaller photographers often do and it’s a bit more of a process for the photos to be chosen and edited, but the photos are worth the wait. It was also great to have them there for both photo and video because it was the same team and they worked very well together to capture everything and make the day go seamlessly.

ures were the best that I've seen since 2010. His photos are of the highest quality, stunning, FULL OF EMOTION, and heartwarming! The candid photos are breathtaking! We have gotten so so so many compliments on our engagement and wedding photos. We could not be any happier with the pics and with Joe and Brandon! I often go back to look over all the pictures to relive our wedding day lol! They did a fantastic job...We love how many candid pics they took of our guests as well! Joe and Brandon have so much personality and were so fun to work with. I can be super awkward being in front of the camera and posing but Joe and Brandon made it so easy and comfortable for us. They were also so flexible and cool about taking so many unplanned portrait photos with my huge family. We really appreciated that! I don't think we can write enough to truly portray how awesome JPG is (the most artistic, professional, fun, genuine and kind)! Thank you Joe and Brandon for everything!!

Caveat emptor...buyer beware. Before you sign anything check around. There are lots of better choices. This goes beyond the photographer herself - which we do have some issues with...but it is more comprehensive a problem than any one person....
We really have no idea how these guys get the ratings they do. We are crushed by the disappointment in their service. We not only cannot recommend JPG, we would strongly caution against using them. In spite of planning together with the photographer and being clear about our intentions not to photograph the prep, we had to wait for them to set up after we were long ready. The 14 weeks from event to actual pictures were astonishing. Even more so after getting them and seeing just how little thought and effort went into their editing and "organization". Also - be prepared to be referred to your contract repeatedly. They will hold it up anytime you ask for something.
Response from the Vendor on 04/06/2018
Luda and Leo, We're disappointed this is how you feel. These are the first negative comments we've heard from you during this process. On multiple occasions, you wrote our photographer telling her how great of a job she did, including after the...
engagement session. On Jan. 16th, after you received your preview images -- just 2 weeks after your wedding -- you wrote saying, "Thank you (photographer), I appreciate the favor and you are a very good photographer." In addition, on the day of the wedding, our photographer team arrived early and ready to shoot, but you didn't give them a room number at the hotel, instead, instructing them to wait on the 2nd floor. The photographer also stayed an extra 30 minutes to shoot a night portrait for free. We're honestly confused by this frustration, as we adhered to everything in the contract, delivered preview images -- which was a bonus to you -- and these images came within two weeks of the wedding. The final images were delivered early, too. All photos are organized and have been edited. We received zero communication from you with any comments to the contrary. We are happy to listen to see if we can repair any of the disconnect. Good luck to you both either way. Respectfully, Joseph Gidjunis Owner JPG Photo & Video

I cannot think of one time throughout the preparation, ceremony and reception where I saw a photo opp and did not immediately see Stacey or Justin pop in to capture that moment. They were present, but never overbearing. We were especially pleased to see how they handled impromptu pics. We did our best to give them a list of the group pictures we wanted at the reception. Unfortunately we were not able to anticipate all of the desired pictures (mainly from our parents). Stacey and Justin rolled with these punches with the upmost of ease. The pictures we were received were fabulous and funny and truly captured the magic of our New Years Eve Wedding. We could not be happier!

basis on a holiday weekend (booked 4-5 months in advance). Right from the start they provided a full contract and an invoice that clearly stated their costs and expectations, so we had no trouble preparing ourselves, and JPG, for our event. Whenever we had questions they responded in a timely manner. A few days prior to our event the photographer, Adam, coordinated some final details with us and he was very nice and knowledgeable. On the day of the event Adam showed up early, was well prepared, and immediately built a rapport with all of our family members and guests. He was excellent throughout the entire time he was with us, especially given how quickly everything moved along. We can't thank Adam enough for being a fantastic photographer and for his professionalism and friendliness the entire time! We chose JPG primarily because of the quality of their work from their online portfolio, and they definitely delivered for us! Our edited photos were beautiful just as we'd hoped and we bought a handful of prints. We definitely highly recommend JPG for any event.

I did A LOT of research ahead of choosing a photographer + videographer. The quality & emotion portrayed in JPG’s photos are what initially caught my attention, but once I got on the phone with Joe, I 100% knew I wanted to work with them. Also,...
I could not find another photographer who’s video quality was as high as JPG’s and knew I only wanted to work with one vendor because it was easier ( …The photo + video combo was also actually cheaper than getting separate photographer and videographer). Looking back, I initially thought the final photos and video were all that mattered from a photographer/videographer, but Joe + his team were so so incredible the day of the wedding. They really took the reins and orchestrated the logistics of the day (i.e. if it rains, here’s plan A and B, etc.) – totally flexible and open to any decision my husband and I wanted (i.e. ending photos early and going to the cocktail hour). Joe truly because a friend during the process – even my other vendors (hair + makeup + reception coordinator) and friends/family were so impressed with him and his team. We were truly overwhelmed with the final photo and video products once we received them – just stunning. JPG really added to our wedding experience being such great partners. They didn’t just show up – they took time to understand what meant most to us and what we really cared about capturing. I’ll never forget - Joe handing me a mint right before I walked down the aisle. That’s what you’re getting with JPG (…not to mention the beautiful photos and videos you’ll have to for a lifetime). Truly priceless. Couldn’t recommend more. P.S. He and an assistant traveled all the way up to NYC to take our engagement photos, just a month after he and his wife had their first baby!

On what was an incredible celebration of family and friends, Joseph and his team added to the night. Let’s face it, getting the pre-ceremony pictures done and done on time can be stressful. Racing to a 6:30 ceremony start with a number of family shots could have been rough, especially with folks on edge to begin with. Joseph and his team got us through all of that with a little prodding, a little humor and a touch that understood all that we were feeling before the wedding. All of us, JPG included, were all smiles when we just had the ceremony and party in front of us. I know Joe and his team were all over the ceremony and the party but only because I saw a few pictures afterwards. At the time, they were so unobtrusive as to seem invisible. We were left to be in the moment of both. These folks know what they’re doing, how to get it all done well and they had a relationship with our bride and groom that had them very comfortable. The previews shared have just been wonderful. While we can't wait to relive the night through their pictures and video, it was a pleasure to have them with us during such a special night.

From the moment Joe arrived, I knew we were in good hands and it was going to be fun. He immediately put all of the girls at ease and we had a lot of fun during the preparation for the ceremony. He then coordinated with Gustavo, who was with the Groom and party, to meet in Rittenhouse Square for their 'First look' photos. From there, they went all over center city, including Reading Terminal before the ceremony and reception. That theme of fun and natural shots was exactly what the bride and groom wanted, and if the sneak peeks we've seen are any indication of the final results, we are going to be thrilled. An example of a unique shot included the bride and groom in reading terminal, and it's beautiful.

oe immediately put me at ease and we had a great conversation discussing the journalistic style of JPG and exactly what we were looking to get from our pictures. Not having many “posey” shots was very important to us. I knew there was something extra special about JPG when I learned that they are deeply involved in volunteer work, something I also value, and a testament to the fact that JPG and Joe are truly great people. We chose to do an engagement shoot with Joe so we could get to know each other and get some amazing pictures at the same time. It was Joe’s first time shooting at Hershey Park, and you sure couldn’t tell that by the pictures! Every picture came out amazing and they were the exact style we were looking for. It was almost like he had been there a million times before and knew exactly where to go for the best shots. The night ended with lots of good conversation, laughs, and whoopie pies of course! We had the most incredible day playing around the park, and after that day/night we couldn’t wait to see Joe and his team again for our wedding. JPG was so organized throughout each stage of the planning process and the final photography checklist was super helpful. They work with you and make you think outside the box, so that your pictures are super original and speak to you as a couple. Choosing locations which have significance to you as a couple or describe your personalities is what made our pictures extra meaningful. On our wedding day I was immediately comforted when Joe and his team arrived. They really felt like friends/family and made the whole day even more fun. I couldn’t have asked for a better group of people to spend my day with. Tom (the second photographer) had a great time with the guys and he was also amazing. Throughout the day, ceremony, and reception, the JPG team was so unobtrusive, you barely knew they were there, even though they were capturing every detail. Joe made sure we got all pictures that we really wanted to take, and quickly took the formal shots so we could move on to the party. We also had a photobooth which was a huge hit. The open air booth and props were super fun and our guests had a blast. There are even some photos of my father running around the dancefloor with the bullhorns on! :) This brings me to the pictures. No words other than amazing. The turnaround time was super-fast and we are so in love with our pictures. There was some motion shots from our engagement shoot of a carousel and ride moving behind us, yet my fiancé and I are standing still in complete focus in the center of the picture. Super impressive shots which only a very talented photographer can capture. The creativity and eye that Joe has to capture the most amazing shots and angles is just awe inspiring. He really loves what he does and it shows in his work. Many photographers have shot at our wedding venue, however the pictures by JPG are above and beyond any I have seen. I am so lucky to say that my husband and I not only have the most amazing captured memories from our special day, but we also gained some lifelong friends in the process. Stunning pictures, great people – what more could you ask for. We love our JPG family!!

nto preparing each detail for your day is so special and important to making the event your own. Then the day comes and it flies by so fast. Even if you try to be mindful of each feeling and absorb as much as you can, it’s impossible to remember it all. But having JPG Photography document your event means you can relive each kiss, each guest, each song…it is that moment in time that you can have forever. Looking at the photos gives you all of those feelings back. It also gives you the chance to see the wedding from the eyes of each guest. There is nothing more precious than that. Thank you JPG for your professionalism, knowledge and talent. You made us feel like part of your family and we cannot thank you enough for the memories you have captured.

We couldn't be happier with the results. Joe was our photographer and he was truly amazing! He was pretty much one of my best friends that day and helped keep me, well us, calm and collected all while taking amazing pictures.

mmer camp, where they could self cater, BYOB and all of their 130 guests could sleep over all weekend long, everything starting coming together....except someone who could take the kind of photos that they REALLY wanted. They didn't want just regular photos of table settings, cake and standing uncomfortably with relatives. No way Jose. (It is a known fact that no one ever looked back at photos of their table settings, years later, and got teary eyed. Probably.) They wanted BLOW-YOUR-MIND-AMAZING-MOMENT-BY-MOMENT-CAPTURING-OF-EVERYTHING-THAT-MADE-THEM-AND-THIER-BIG-DAY-UNIQUE. So upon obsessive web research, they hired JPG Photography. Naked bikers riding past wedding parties? Crazy action shots of dance moves? YES PLEASE! JPG worked within their budget and when they heard the crazy wedding ideas, JPG owners Joe and (his lovely wife) Rebecca were just as excited as the bride and groom were. Flash forward to the big day. Joe and Rebecca drove all night to make it to the event, several states away. They wiped the bride's happy tears, got soaked in water balloon fights, ran after pick-up trucks full of groomsmen, scouted CRAZY photo locations to whisk the newlyweds away to, made a slideshow for the reception, kept popping in to show the couple crazy pics of what the guests were up to while the bride and groom got ready, arranged the hectic family shots like a BOSS (seriously, it was like herding cats), and so so much more. The blissful bride doesn't want to give too much away, but JPG surprises their newlyweds with the most thoughtful, amazing little sentiments throughout the day. (Which made the blubbering bride cry her happy tears even harder.) When the day was done and the guests all walked the torch-lit paths back to their cabins, the bride and groom knew that one of the best decisions they made for their wedding was hiring JPG. The photos were just as badass as the newlyweds, capturing all the cool and quirky everything that made this wedding, different from every other wedding. And they all lived a very badass happily ever after. The End.

ss JPG at an off-beat wedding expo - the Lovesick Expo. JPG was actually the last photography booths I stopped at after drudging through countless other samples from other photographers, unimpressed by what I'd seen & searching for someone who wasn't afraid to take risks to ensure we got what WE wanted out of our photos. What initially grabbed my attention was a video that was playing at their booth. I was adamantly against having a wedding video. There was no way that I, my husband or any of my friends were going to sit through a 5 hour wedding video - EVER. So when I saw what they did with the highlight video, I knew I wanted one. It was the perfect synopsis of our monumental day. We called later that week to book them. When booking JPG, we initially dealt with the owner Joe, who asked us (what we thought at the time) was a lot of unnecessary information, in the form of a lengthy questionnaire. But we filled it out as requested and during our next conversation, realized that Joe, through this process, had matched us with our ideal photographer - Dave. Dave loves pizza and beer - how could you NOT love Dave back? From then on, we dealt with Dave. We talked back and forth about the style we wanted, who we were, likes & dislikes.. yadda yadda yadda. When it came time to do our engagement shoot (which I was also very against doing, but it was included in our package so, what the heck!), we knew we wanted to do something different. We chose to take our photos at two locations in Philly: Yards brewery & Paines Skatepark. Dave was ON BOARD from the very start - loved our ideas, was pumped to start shooting. He set everything up. Dave was just the right level of pushy when it came to getting the shots we wanted at both locations. He persuaded the Manager at Yards to allow us to shoot in the brewery after tours had ended, without a guide. When we arrived at Paines, he persuaded several skateboarders to assist in our photos by skating around us and doing various tricks. It was awesome. When it came to our wedding day - we were equally impressed. The crew showed up three people deep (Dave, Ashley & Laura). Dave stayed with me while I got ready and Laura stayed with my husband, while the videographer Ashley split her time between the two of us. Everyone was SO comfortable with them around, and they just fit in with us so well it felt as if they were just a part of our crew. They were EVERYWHERE throughout the day - getting every possible angle on every single shot. I had guests tell me how wonderful they were because they were all over the place! They were amazing. When we got our photos & video back (sooner than expected I might add), we were blown away. They captured every bit of us flawlessly. The video though, was my favorite part. It was beyond anything we had expected. It captured the best parts of our day. We knew what we wanted when searching for a photographer. We got exactly that with JPG!! Dave, Laura & Ashley - you guys are amazing!!!!

G's website and their commitment to customers was clear from our very first conversation with Joe. We worked together to come up with a price/package that met our needs and chose Matt Bender as our primary photographer. Our engagement session gave us a chance to get to know Matt and for him to know us. When the big day came, we felt very comfortable with him and he (along with 2 other photographers) did a great job managing our family and bridal party for group shots. Many guests commented that our photographers were awesome throughout the evening. This skill should not be overlooked when you are evaluating a wedding photographer! In the end, we were thrilled with the quality and variety of pictures. The photo journalistic style captured the true essence of the day and there were a lot of really fun shots. To top it off, all of JPG's wedding packages include a DVD or thumb drive of high-res images with personal use rights - which means you have full flexibility when it comes to albums and prints. Bottom line: JPG brought the style, quality, and personality we were looking for at a competitive price. They were easy to work with from start to finish and we could not have been happier with the results.

They made sure to get my husband and I, our families, friends and other guests in the pictures, which was great. They captured every moment of the entire night and it was so nice to relive it all once the photos came back. We also hired a photographer for the photo booth, which I also 100% recommend. Our guests LOVED it and had so much fun. Long story short- hire them. They're friendly, fun, creative and so talented. They will make sure that you remember all of the special moments from your wedding day.

Joe & Stacey basically made our entire wedding day. My husband and I never wanted a big wedding. Once we started talking marriage, we both knew that we wanted something small, just for him, me, and his two children. Short, small, and sweet....
To give a bit more "specialness" and meaning to the day, we decided to hold the ceremony in front of the Passyunk fountain - a place that has great meaning for both of us. We picked the date, June 12th, in September, which is when we brought JPG on board as our photographer. From the very beginning, they were the friendliest, coolest people to work with. I talked to Joe a bit about the "vision" of my wedding day and pictures (small, intimate, and South Philly) and a bit about our budget. Joe set us up with a contract and package that worked for us, so we went ahead and booked, and I spent many months stalking their website, getting excited for our turn in the spotlight! We picked mid-June thinking it would be the best time of the year weather-wise. As you can imagine, I was somewhat crushed waking up the morning of my wedding ceremony to showers and thunderstorms, and a forecast that basically said it wasn't going to get any better throughout the day. True, my ceremony was only going to last 15 minutes, but we planned on a very outdoors-heavy day of shooting. I was afraid we would have to cram everyone into a last minute "indoors" plan B. I was stressin'. My poor husband tried his best to cheer me up and keep my spirits up. From the minute Joe and Stacey arrived for our ceremony, their energy and warmth reinvigorated the whole scenario. They patiently shot our ceremony and formal shots with my stepchildren while maneuvering SEPTA buses and trash trucks (I forgot Thursdays were trash day in Bella Vista - oops!) And then the real fun began. Joe & Stacey could not have been cooler or more on board with our somewhat non-traditional shooting locations and picture requests. They have an incredible eye, and we felt totally comfortable with them right away. After spending 3+ hours shooting with them, they began to feel more like friends than the people we hired to take our wedding pictures. They are also ridiculously awesome in that they were not one bit deterred by the rain - Joe even going so far as to lay down in puddles if necessary to get the shot we wanted. I am thoroughly convinced that had we hired anyone else, our day could have been very disappointing. With Joe & Stacey, not only did they literally brush off the downpour, they turned it into fun for us. And from what I can see of the sneak peeks of our pictures from Joe & the JPG instagram, our pictures are going to be ridiculously beautiful, fun, and sexy. We can't wait to get our pictures! 5 stars. More stars if I could!

We whole-heartedly and enthusiastically recommend them to anyone and everyone looking for a photographer for any occasion. Having a good photographer for our wedding was one of the most important things to my husband and I during wedding planning. JPG Photography hit each of the “big three” on our list: first, they take pictures of brides and grooms looking natural and acting like themselves—not looking like awkward statues. Second, their portfolios showed pictures not just of brides and grooms, but of friends and family having fun at weddings. This was SUPER important to my husband and I—sure, we wanted some pictures of us looking great, but what we really wanted to remember is everyone celebrating with us. Third, JPG does a great job in low-light venues-- something we were concerned about since our wedding was indoors and at night. The day of our wedding, Joe was such a reassuring presence. He and the crew knew exactly what needed to happen when, and kept us on track. He seemed as excited as us for our first look and for our walk down the aisle. During the ceremony and reception, it felt like Joe, Gustavo, and Tom were everywhere and nowhere at once. They were never in the way, but they always got amazing, amazing shots. Our friends and family members kept exclaiming about what great photographers we had. When we received our pictures (ahead of time!) we were not disappointed—the pictures were AMAZING. I really can’t say enough. Joe, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for being our photographer!! I hope to have the chance to work with you again in the future!!!

I think regardless Matt was a great fit, the engagement pictures turned out wonderfully and I am so excited to see how it all turned out. If you want to get the best documentation out of your day - instead of all the "posed" shots - this is the vendor for you. When you are getting married you are getting pulled in a hundred different directions and will most likely miss what is going on elsewhere - with Photojournalism - it is all captured for your to relive!
