We always dreamt of a small and intimate wedding, but we also wanted the best photos possible, not only for our own, but also to share with those loved ones we couldn’t have with us on our special day. Because of this we decided the one thing we wouldn’t shy away from spending on was the photography. We heard of Justin from various clients, and through our planner. It doesn’t do it justice when I tell you that Justin was a blessing to us. First I want to say, he is the ultimate professional. He was communicative for weeks before the event, he spent the time speaking to us about what we wanted (even requested a list of specific photos we wanted with the individual guests). On the day of the event, he arrived hours early to scout the area for possible shots based on what we had told him we wanted and his professional input. I can be a little shy when taking pictures, so he gave tips to my husband about making me laugh to help the pictures look natural. He did absolutely everything to prepare us to have great pictures. During our small ceremony and dinner, he was able to navigate the space and the proceedings seamlessly, it was almost like he wasn’t there and out of nowhere he would give you a sign to get a specific shot. It really was incredible.
We had seen his work before deciding to work with him, but even that didn’t prepare us for the results. He made what we planned as a small intimate event look like a dream. The shots, the editing, just everything. Thanks to Justin we have the beautiful pictures to match the wonderful memories of our very special day.
I really wish we could say more about how fortunate we feel about finding Justin, but all we can tell you is you will not regret choosing Justin to document your special day. He will make sure it feels 100% yours with a little artistic touch from him.
Justin was absolutely amazing to work with. We had him photograph our ~100 person wedding in Long Branch, NJ, on the beach, and it’s hard to believe all the photos we got were from just one person! Justin was easy to communicate and coordinate with, was there an hour early, and was with us the whole day. He coordinated our first look on the boardwalk, and kept everything within the timeframes we discussed. My husband and I were able to relax and enjoy the day while working with Justin. Neither of us are used to getting our photos taken, and Justin was great with providing suggestions and getting a mix of candid and still shots. We can’t believe how perfect the photos turned out. Thank you, Justin! We are so happy to have worked with you and are thrilled with how the photos look!
Justin! Me and Benjun can't thank you enough for making our wedding an absolute fairy tail! You definitely brought our wedding to life! The pictures came out just AMAZING! We hope we can work together again real soon!

Justin was our photographer for our engagement shoot and our wedding on 10/22/17. My best friend/moh's sister actually recommended him after her two friends used him for their wedding! My husband and I both absolutely loved working with him. We are both camera shy so it was good that we had the engagement shoot to start to practice and get to know him. He is really easy to work with-calm, professional, creative, and just the right amount of enthusiasm. On our wedding day, he was very timely. He arrived almost 30 minutes before he said he would to scope out the place. He followed the time line strictly and didn't 'force' a lot of shots after the ceremony. He suggested a couple shots with our wedding party and we chose the rest. We did not have a first look so we had a limited amount of time to have our couple photos. And let me tell you, Justin is fast--his eyes know directly where to go to hit the light, where to stand so it's the sturdiest for heels, had so much creativity, and encouraged us to pose different ways! We definitely were less camera shy during the wedding. He had awesome shots of us and our guests. I still have no idea how he had our youngest (also camera shy) flower girl pose for a couple solo photos! Prices were reasonable. I can't wait to post some photos around the house. Highly recommend!
Justin is AMAZING. I have never enjoyed working with someone as much as him-he incredible, impressive and quite simply fantastic. As soon as I began researching wedding photographers and met with Justin, I knew he was the one for our big day. He certainly had a challenge on when we first met for our engagement photos as my husband is not a fan of having his pictures taken. However, Justin put him at ease almost immediately. As for our wedding, I could not have asked for someone better. Calm, cool and collected through entire process leading up to and as well as the day of! Not to mention our guests LOVED him!!! Our wedding photos are so impressive and I cannot begin to thank Justin enough for making our day so special and even more memorable with his incredible work! I now just need an excuse to book Justin again!
Justin was the BEST part of our wedding day. From the moment we met him, me and my husband knew he would be the perfect fit for us. He was incredibly creative and determined to make our special day even more special! My favorite part of the day is when I found a fairy ring outside of our ceremony venue. I immediately told Justin how cool I thought this was and he took us over to it to make sure he got the perfect shot for us including it! The pictures were all so beautiful, my whole family teared up looking at them. We can’t thank him enough and would recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone looking for gorgeous pictures and a photographer that works hard to showcase your personality!
Really enjoyed working with Justin! We saw his work from my cousin's wedding and decided to hire him for our wedding. He's really easy to work with and was able to get in all the shots we requested - truly a professional! The pictures we've seen so far look awesome and we can't wait to see the rest of them!
Not our first time working with Justin because he did photos for my sister's wedding and his photos were amazing. They were featured on magazines and blogs multiple times! Naturally, we would have him do our wedding photos as well! He makes everyone feel so comfortable! He is very professional. He followed the timeline strictly. He was very respectful of the church ceremonies and was never in the way. Barely even noticed him running around and just surprised to see photos in different angles. He has very artistic photo ideas and now we have a problem of choosing which photos to print because there is just so many to choose from. I definitely recommend him for all your photography needs. He captures every special moment beautifully. Thank you, Justin!
My husband and I could not be anymore grateful for Justin. He goes above and beyond for his clients. Justin kept my husband and I both calm and took control of the wedding at times it got chaotic. He may seem quiet and shy at first but he is extremely outgoing and a joy to work with. I definitely see us using Justin down the line for other parties. You will not be disappointed hiring Justin.
Where should I begin!! From the moment Justin walked in my door at my home the day of my wedding he just blended right in. Everyone in my bridal party kept saying omg Justin is so nice! He made you feel so comfortable. I have been around other photographers and Justin has a gift of not only being THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHER he has a great personality! He made us feel like supermodels which we are far from. The photos he took are magazine worthy. A photographer I believe is the most important vendor you have for your wedding. We are so grateful and thankful for having Justin as ours. His work is truly priceless!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE GORGEOUS PICTURES!!!!!!!
Words cannot express the appreciation we feel for Justin. From the moment we met Justin we knew he was going to be our photographer for our wedding. What we didn't know was that Justin would become our photographer for life! His artistic eye is what caught our attention first, but his kindness and patience is what solidified our decision. Justin made our wedding memories come to life and for that we are forever grateful. Justin became family on our wedding day! He was so nonintrusive, we barely realized he was taking pictures. As a modern bride, of course I used Pinterest for photo ideas. I'm sure this can get a little annoying for photographers, but Justin took those ideas and ran with them. I can honestly say that our photos are more spectacular than any I found on Pinterest. Through photography he told our fairytale. He also didn't stop at anything to make our dream shots a reality. For example we wanted to use sparklers to create an image, he singlehandedly made this happen by running around us at least 10 times on an uncomfortably hot August day just to get the perfect image. No amount of words can express what we feel for Justin and the work he did for our wedding. We wholeheartedly recommend Justin if you want the best wedding photographer out there! Justin, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!
I think we all fell a little bit in love with Justin! Never having met any of us, within a few minutes, he grasped our family dynamic as well as our vision for this event. These pictures are going to be fierce, and we can't wait to see them! He was excited about our ideas, and his creativity while he worked was evident. If there is anything that is the slightest bit offbeat, non-traditional, young, fresh or dynamic about your wedding event, we highly recommend Justin who will capture your dream in ways you haven't even thought of yet!
When my husband and I were searching for wedding photographers, we came upon Justin's website through a search engine. We were first interested because his prices were so reasonable, but then we looked at his portfolio and were very impressed. When we met with him, we signed a contract on the spot without bothering to meet with any other photographers.
From the get-go, we felt a connection with Justin. He is really friendly and easy-going, while still a professional. His photographs are great and his style was just what we were looking for. We wanted someone who would take many candid shots and really capture the feeling of the day.
Many people commented after the wedding that Justin was such a nice guy, which may not seem that important, but on the day of the wedding, there are so many people harrassing the bride and groom and it was so nice to have a photographer that was relaxed and confident about what he was doing.
When we received the link for our photos, we had no doubt that the pictures would be beautiful and they were! Justin captured every moment perfectly and we couldn't be more thrilled with how the photos came out.
If you are planning a wedding, don't hesitate to contact Justin. Not only will he make your special day that much easier for you, but his pictures are fantastic!
