Hey guys! I am a seasoned photographer who absolutely loves weddings.

I want to tell the beautiful story of your day and help you look amazing. I have photographed 350+ weddings now and been blessed to travel all over the world and the United States doing it. I appreciate you checking out my work and I would love to work with you!

We are SO grateful for Justin! Not only is he an amazing photographer, he is a fast friend and just an all-around great person to be around. So many of our guests came up to me at our wedding to tell me how awesome he was! He helped with my dress (SEVERAL times, and even helped with the bustle!), put in my veil, always checked in to see if we needed anything, and made taking photos fun for everyone. He works fast, yet still manages to get beautiful shots (we've only seen a few sneak peaks and we are IN LOVE). We highly recommend Justin to anyone looking for a wedding photographer, you will definitely not be disappointed! :)

Justin and Andy were absolutely amazing taking photos for our wedding! They were quick without rushing anyone, gave us breaks on a very hot day, put everyone at ease and got us laughing. Justin constantly asked what I needed and wanted, carried my dress, my heavy flowers, took out my veil, bustled my dress (twice) and got us drinks. Hands down best photographer and best vendor overall at our wedding (and everything was amazing).

Justin is OUTSTANDING! Our engagement and wedding photos are absolutely beautiful! He is fun, easy-going, professional, and superbly talented!!! I would recommend him without reservation for your wedding or any of your photography needs! My husband and I look forward to continue using him as our family photographer! He's the best!!!

We can't say enough about Justin! Not only is he an amazing photographer, he is someone we now consider a friend after working with him! He was so much fun to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process- engagement photos, planning for the wedding, and the big day itself. He is so personable, thoughtful, and caring. He made our wedding day so much more relaxing because I knew he was taking care of things and getting people organized. We plan to continue using him for future family photos!!

Justin is VERY talented, and just generally a great guy, which is why I chose him for my photos. As I thought, my engagement and wedding photos turned out excellent! He can make anyone look great. The one thing from keeping me from giving all 5 stars, though, is the fact that he's so busy you might feel like he doesn't actually have the time to get the photos you really want - those ones that show your personality, etc. There wasn't much 'hey, what do you want/what are you looking for?' If you DON'T know what you want that's probably great because he won't waste your time. But, for the money, you probably want your photographer to at least listen to you.

Justin was amazing to work with for our engagement and wedding pictures. He picked the perfect landscapes and our friends (as well as us) were amazed we had our engagement pictures the next day. They need no editing! Justin took photos of our wedding day that will cherish for a lifetime. In addition he really went above and beyond by helping out with some details that had nothing to do with photos and it helped the day go smoothly. Justin made sure he had taken our must have pictures and checked in before leaving to see if there was anything else we wanted to capture. Most importantly, Justin is very easy to work with - he put my groom, whom hates to get his picture taken, at ease for the formal, posed pictures. We were excited to see what candid pictures he captured and we were not disappointed. The day went so fast and seeing the pictures from throughout the day bring it all back.

I've received so many compliments on the quality of our pictures! He picked multiple locations based on our preferences.

He is a fantastic photographer and fast friend! He made you feel at home and comfortable. He had a ton of great ideas and took us there! He was super flexible and just overall a great person to work with. Definitely going to have him take pictures of our future family! :)

Overall my experience working with Justin was awesome! He was very laid back and made taking pictures fun. He helped make it not feel awkward and even got my husband to smile. We went through him for engagements and wedding photos (packaged) and I am so glad we did! Justin took wonderful pictures and was very reasonable in price! I would recommend him to anyone. He will probably be our go to photographer for family shoots too, once we have children. :) His customer service and business skills are also very up to par, which I appreciate.

Justin shot our engagement and wedding photos and did an amazing job! Neither my husband nor I really take great pictures normally, but we were really excited and happy with what he did! Now we have too many to choose from, when I was worried that there wouldn't be any I would like! I would definitely give Justin a call for any of your photo needs!!!!
