- JustinOwnerMy Name Is Justin and I am happy that fate allowed us to cross paths as you are considering my company. Full transparency, I'm just a normal guy who bought a camera one day back in 2012 and went from being the friend who took pictures of everyone to now having a full service company. I honed my skills for over a decade and now I am able to offer everything I have to you on your day. I have a general rule when you are in front of my camera. No Posing. It's Not A Photoshoot. It's an experience! I will set the moment and the pictures will come out amazing. Period. Just Have Fun! I Got The Rest!
- RitchelleArtist ManagerRitchelle is your go to person for a seamless wedding day! She is the liaison between you and your wedding team! Her ability to multitask and promote a client-centered experience is unmatched. With her great communication and organization skills, she is able to oversee the small details that ensure your wedding day is exactly how you envisioned it to be!
- JenVideographerJen has been a wonderful asset to our team with her incredible attention to detail and high quality work! She has great passion for her craft and has honed it close to perfection! When she shows up on your wedding day, take a sigh of relief and know that you are in great hands. Your shots will be nothing less than EPIC!
- ManuelaAssociate PhotographerManuela has a genuine excitement for photography every time she turns on her camera! She shares the same enthusiasm toward every wedding which is uncommon for most photographers as gifted as she is. Make no mistake! Manuela is a lead photographer but she has been an associate photographer for our team because she loves the atmosphere we present. In a few years, we guarantee she will have her own company that will overtake whatever city she chooses to plant her headquarters!
- JuliaVideographer/Associate PhotographerJulia is as professional as they come and she knows how to read the....ROOM lol One thing that sets one vendor apart from another is knowing when to turn it on and when to turn it off and couples really appreciate when working with her it doesn't feel like work! Just Focused Weddings is all for that energy and not to mention we still have yet to see one bad clip she has taken. When you see Julia setting up gear on your day, get ready for an experience which will feel effortless!

Justin, who was so fun & easygoing! He got creative whenever we hit any snags. For example, the weather did not cooperate with us so we pivoted to new locations and he had such a positive & encouraging attitude about things. We loved working with him & would absolutely pick him again. We're so happy with how the pics turned out!

Justin was nothing short of fantastic. He was energetic but composed, respectful and professional all in one. He had a knack for keeping things balanced with uniqueness, class, and a side of traditional. I would hire him again in a heartbeat.

Justin and his team were so professional and calm under some challenging circumstances. It started raining when we were scheduled to do the shots with me and my bridal party but Justin had enough clear umbrellas for us to use which gave things a pretty classy feel that I can't imagine going any other way. I did catch a glimpse of all of my vendors at some point sitting down or taking a break in between segments of the day but I never saw Justin do that once. I can tell he is very passionate about what he does and he is quite the hype man! I would recommend him to anyone looking for a photography team who is not only down to earth but also so professional and detail oriented!

Justin did an amazing job capturing our wedding! My husband and I are a bit camera shy—Justin made us feel so comfortable and helped us curate wedding photos that we love! Justin also had an incredible sense of style and artistic direction that really made everything we worked so hard on planning really shine in all of our photos! You won’t regret working with Justin he’s kind, passionate, and a great artist!

Justin was the photographer we chose for our wedding in March and it was such a great experience! Justin was professional, arrived early, captured a wonderful first look and private vow moment between my husband and I, helped make the wedding party photoshoot relaxed/comfortable for everyone, and captured all of our special moment so perfectly. He even shared pictures with us along the way throughout the day. We are so thankful!

I was really nervous about my first time having professional pictures taken of me after hearing all of the horror stories but Justin made it such a comfortable experience and fun. He even took the time to show us our pictures in his camera and would hype us up as the day went on. He spoke to us before certain things and kind of set the stage for the moment if you will for example my mother came over to zip my dress and for some reason she was crying as she was doing it…. I was thinking it was solely because of the moment alone but No…. She says “the photographer told me to think about how beautiful you are and how proud I am of you” We both cried like babies. I was impressed with Justin’s skills of understanding the temperature around him, especially with my crazy family lol. I will only recommend Just Focused Weddings anytime a friend or family member says they have are newly engaged.

We felt so lucky to have Justin as part of our wedding day photography team! Other couples encouraged us to invest in our photographer and Justin is one example of why we were so glad we did. We felt a sense of comfort knowing that he was going to capture raw, candid moments we would cherish forever. During our portraits, he paid attention to the details- ensuring everything was just right before the shot. Justin’s fun and positive attitude throughout the day added an extra layer of joy to our special moments. Our groomsmen still talk about how much fun they had during the men’s photoshoot portion of the day! Thank you for making our wedding day stress-free & so memorable!

Justin was so incredible and became a family friend of ours since the wedding day. He was very patient with my family’s cultural knack to run late with everything and got some really nice shots of me during my Baraat! Even though I had a coordinating team I hired who tipped me off to Justin, I say this respectfully but he seemed to be on top of things more than they were. I was altogether pleasantly surprised that I wanted to hang out with my photographer during our reception because I can say he was just an all around cool dude. I recommend Just Focused Weddings with full confidence that he will deliver!

Justin was fantastic to work with. Not only will he capture some amazing shots on your special day, he'll also bring a great vibe and tons of energy that last throughout the day. He made sure we got all the shots of family/friends/party/special items that we wanted without batting an eye. We could not imagine the day being the same without Justin and his team there by our side.

Five stars out of five! Working with Justin from Just Focused Photography was an absolute pleasure. His positive energy is infectious, and he has a knack for keeping everyone involved feeling upbeat and engaged. Justin doesn't just show up and take pictures. We worked together seamlessly to craft a shot list that perfectly captured the desires of our mutual clients. He even offered fantastic suggestions for off-site locations that resulted in stunning photos. Justin's experience and knowledge were invaluable. During the planning process He collaborated with us to ensure we captured all the important moments. His ability to manage his team of assistants for maximum coverage further impressed us. It's clear he's a master at orchestrating a smooth-running event. Justin isn't just about snapping pictures; he truly cares about capturing every angle and sticking to the schedule. This meticulous approach, combined with the thorough planning, ensures the event goes off without a hitch and you're left with photos that will be cherished for a lifetime. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Justin and his team at Just Focused Photography to anyone. They are a dream team to work with, and I can't wait to collaborate with them again in the future!

Great photographer! I was the maid of honor for my sister’s wedding and the pictures came out beautifully. He did a great job managing all the guests that wanted to take pictures with the couple as well. And he was on time! Looking forward to booking for my special day.

Justin was wonderful! We felt very comfortable with him. He made sure to capture moments without trying to force them, which made our photos look super natural, not at all staged. He was so good about being opportunistic to get the best shots, but was flexible and respectful - not to mention super charismatic and kind. In fact, that was the best part! Weddings can be stressful events, but Justin’s energy, humor, and keen eye for photography made it feel like a breeze.

We booked an engagement shoot with Justin and were highly pleased! I have never felt so comfortable in front of a camera!! We could tell that Justin is a professional and expert in his craft! Even still, he took the time to constantly reassure us. Even before the shoot, as we spoke on the phone, we felt that he was open to any questions we may of had. I felt that we were heard and our needs and wants were exceeded. I truly appreciate the amount of care Justin showed throughout this shoot. I am not used to be the center of attention, but Justin made sure we were both relaxed and comfortable just by his down to earth and welcoming personalty! We loved all of our photos! Again, thank you so much Justin!

If we could give Justin more than 5 stars, we would! He was by far our favorite vendor to work with throughout our wedding process. Justin was warm and friendly; his enthusiasm when shooting was exactly the type of energy we were looking for and his photos were outstanding. Even our guests commented on how much they loved Justin the day of the wedding! We would highly recommend working with Justin as your photographer!

Just focused weddings truly exceeded our expectations! They paid attention to every detail we wanted for our special day and added unique touches like a detailed itinerary , a champagne pop for our photos, and on-site videography. From helping us choose the perfect color scheme to suggesting the best jewelry options, they were with us every step of the way. The best part? We received our stunning photos within 24 hours, and they were so beautiful that I couldn't help but cry tears of joy. These photos will definitely be featured on our invitations. I've worked with many photographers before, but none have been as professional, talented, and dedicated as Just focused weddings.
