I can’t say enough wonderful things about JZ Photography! They were an absolute dream to work with for our wedding, exceeding every expectation we had. From the very beginning, their communication was excellent—they were responsive, attentive, and genuinely invested in understanding our vision for the day. They tailored every aspect of the shoot to what we wanted, capturing the essence of our personalities and the love we wanted to share.
The day of the wedding, their professionalism and organization stood out. They handled every shot with ease, making sure no important moment was missed, while also ensuring our guests felt comfortable and engaged. After the event, they created a beautifully organized wedding website that made it easy for us and our loved ones to browse through each category of photos. It was a thoughtful touch that added so much convenience and allowed us to relive each special moment.
To top it all off, JZ Photography offered an incredibly reasonable price for such high-quality, personalized service. They went above and beyond to give us beautiful, timeless photos without breaking the bank. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a photography team that’s talented, communicative, organized, and truly dedicated to capturing your vision. We couldn’t be happier with our experience!
Highly recommend booking Philip and his team for your wedding! They were professional and flexible with our needs. The photos came back in exactly 1 month and were all wonderful!
Philip and Zach did an excellent job with our wedding! We were already familiar with Philip’s beautiful work and kindness from our engagement photos; we are so excited to see our wedding photos. It was obvious how much they cared throughout the day and we trust that we will have gorgeous photos. Philip was also very helpful and patient with creating a timeline for our day during the planning phase. We highly recommend JZ Studio!
Philip did an amazing job photographing our wedding. We have so many wonderful photographs and he was very good at directing up with what to do and giving us ideas. His pricing was very reasonable and we enjoyed working with him.
We hired Philip and his team for our wedding photography and videography, and were very happy with the results!! The prices were reasonable, Philip was very responsive and flexible beforehand, during the wedding, and during editing, and we love our photos and video. I would absolutely recommend that couples hire JZ photography for their engagement and wedding photos!
I cannot thank Philip enough for the amazing job he did at capturing our wedding day. Him and Sandy made it so easy and comfortable to pose for our pictures, they made us feel like movie stars! Philip was incredibly easy to work with since the beginning and his attention to detail is impressive. He answered all of my questions on our first meeting and quickly responded to any questions or concerns that came up throughout the wedding planning process. On the day-of, Philip and Sandy were at each location extra early and made sure that all of our special moments were captured amongst the chaos. Even after we were done with our "posed" photos, Philip and Sandy rolled with whatever goofy pictures/poses our wedding party requested and still made sure we stayed on time! If I ever need a photographer again I will 100% use Philip/JZ Studio and recommend them to all of my family and friends. Thank you again Philip and Sandy for capturing our special day!
Phil was the BEST to work with! His response time is so great via text or email, and answered every question we had. Our Engagement photos turned out amazing, and we were so nervous cause it was our first time taking professional photos together and posing. Phil is so nice, personable, patient, and makes you feel so comfortable. Of course we were excited for him to do our wedding photos, and he went above and beyond!! He came early to our hotel to look around and get set up. He was so patient with everyone and the hectic day and worked around everyone getting ready. He has fun ideas for poses, and any poses we sent him or specific photos we requested, he tried and wanted to get all of them. He was so sneaky at the wedding, we didnt even notice him LOL! He captured so many great memories that we didnt think of.
He stayed a bit later to make sure we got the last night time pictures that we wanted, and we got them all back so fast! He helped make our day perfect and we have gotten so many compliments from guests about him as well. I am calling Phil for every photo shoot we do in the future. We cant thank you enough!!
Philip from JZ studio photography was excellent! From photo shooting our engagement photos to our wedding and after. Philip made scheduling times flexible as well as offering great photo packages. Definitely recommend to others.
Philip was very professional and helpful . His photos were beautiful and captured the spirit of the event. And the photo album was just gorgeous.
I can’t believe how stunning our wedding photos came out! Philip made our photo shoot so easy and knew all the right cues to tell us how to position ourselves and our picture poses were so beautiful! You know a photographer is a professional when they can shoot photos directly into sunlight and still make the photos come out perfectly and that’s exactly what he did. His personality was also very go-with-the-flow and he made everything seem comfortable and fun. I had a blast. I would definitely recommend him for any wedding photos or related shoots.
Philip and his team were absolutely the best to work with. With me through every step of planning and were just an absolute joy to have with us on our big day! Great turnaround on delivery of photos as well, would definitely recommend to anyone planning their big day!
I interviewed many photographers, but during my first phone conversation with Philip, I knew he was the right photographer for us. He and his assistant Zack were more fantastic than we could have hoped for. Philip is personable, accommodating, and talented, and his prices are very competitive. We are 100% satisfied with our photos. He and Zack took photos of us getting ready, photos of the ceremony, and photos of the reception. Philip contributed to making our wedding day the best day of our lives, and thanks to his beautiful photos, we can reminisce as often as we want.
JZ went above and beyond. They were very accommodating from the engagement session to the wedding day. The day kind of got pushed back with getting ready and taking pictures of bridal party and first look. They were not frustrated at all, and were so kind and helpful with directing us and keeping us all on track for the most part. We wanted a photographer & videographer, and they gave us just that, with a second photographer. We are absolutely in love with how our video and photos turned out. I would highly recommend!
Thank you so much for such wonderful memories we are able to look back on!
Philip was so awesome and attentive to details for our wedding. When it was raining he was quick to adjust plans and ensure we still had adequate pictures with our bridal party in an indoor area of our reception. After viewing the photos I couldn’t be happier with how they turned out! Definitely book Philip he will make your day extremely special!!
Our photographers and videographers were absolutely awesome! They took into account what we wanted and also made the process fun. We are in love with our wedding video and photos. When we wanted a few things tweaked in the video they were very receptive.
Philip did such an amazing job photographing our wedding and he even included an engagement photoshoot! He was very organized, came with extra props, and had so many creative photo ideas. On the day of our wedding, things were very chaotic (as they often are lol) but Philip kept an eye on the time and kept us on schedule so that our guests weren't waiting for too long. We were so impressed with his professionalism and the photos he took. Highly recommend!
Philip was amazing to work with. He said he photographs weddings because he loves capturing the magic of the day, and when you work with him, you can see this to be true. Philip was the easiest vendor to work with. He was very responsive and worked with us to ensure we got our special wedding moments captured with photos and videos. He and his team were professional and talented.
I hired JZ Studio Photography for my "mylanchi" event which is the night before the wedding event for the bride. Mr. Philip was very professional and courteous. It was easy to communicate with him via email/phone and the package price was reasonable. He and his team captured all the important moments as well as candid moments of the event and the picture and video quality are excellent. I would definitely recommend JZ Studio Photography for all your photo/video needs!
Philip was amazing photographing our wedding he did amazing work, was patient with the children went above and beyond looking for a remote location.! We appreciate all his effort into a lifetime of memories
Jacob and his team were amazing!! They were very proactive about thinking about what kind of pictures to take/ where to record. We just got our pictures and highlights video and we LOVE them. Definitely recommend jz studio- they definitely know what they are doing!
I am very blessed to have Philip as our wedding photographer. He is very down to earth, understanding, a very good communicator, very professional and his work is just beyond words! His is 100% worth the price!! Thank you so much Philip!!
My husband and I got married on August 8th, 2021. We are very happy to have gone with Phillip for our wedding photography and videography! He was very accommodating and knew exactly what photos to take and how to get the best photo. Our ceremony was outside and we were supposed to take pictures at our ceremony site but it started to rain. Phillip did not hesitate and immediately worked with us to get the photos that we wanted in a timely manner even though he had to set up a completely new area with lighting. We even were able to get photos out in the rain and they came out beautifully! We are so in love with the photos and how they captured the day in the highlights reel and the video. Would definitely recommend JZ Photography to anyone getting married!!
Photos came out great! She was very patient during all the chaos and did an amazing job!
JZ Studio was a great company to work with for our special day! Philip captured some really beautiful moments from our wedding in July! We are so so pleased with the wedding pictures AND he did an amazing editing job with our highlight video (I watch it almost every day now lol) We would definitely recommend them!! So happy we chose JZ Studio Photography!!
My husband and I just got married on June 26, 2021. We are so lucky to have found Philip to be our photographer for the wedding. Photographers are a big part of your wedding and hold an important role of capturing your day. JZ Studio Photography was wonderful to work with. Any questions we had, Philip responded to promptly. The videographer and second photographer were also great. The whole crew was professional, kind, and fun to be around. Our guests loved the photos too. Due to possible rain, our plans had to change a bit and Philip was able to adapt to it all. Not only did we get great photos and videos that captured the day better than we could have imagined, we also had reliable people that made the day go smoother. We are so blessed to have been able to work with JZ Studio Photography and truly do recommend them.
5 stars all across the board! From punctuality, professionalism and Personality. Thank you so much for capturing my wedding and creating such amazing content from it. All our family and friends absolutely love the highlight video and we cannot get over how amazing the pictures turned out.
Thank you SOOOO much! Will absolutely use them for any event needing photography/videography moving forward and recommending them as well.
JZ Studio was such a pleasure to work with. They were so attentive and their main goal was to capture all the moments! Many of our guests couldn't come because of foreign COVID restrictions so they made it a point to turn around the edited videos ASAP. They got the edited highlight video back to us in less than 2.5 weeks! They offer such great rates and are open to working with your budget if necessary.
We are so happy our friend recommended JZ Studio for our wedding - totally worth it!
Thanks again JZ Studio! - Rossy + Derek
Phillip was great through the whole process! I found him on thumbtack and after reviewing his photos I wanted to book him. He gave me all the information I needed to know and was very professional. I loved how my photos came out and so did everyone else, nothing but compliments. I can not wait to see the video! I would recommend him and his team to everyone.
10/10! They were very straight forward and professional on my wedding day. I fell in love with the energy that they captured on the video. I would recommend!
We were so happy with the services we received! Our photographer was clearly experienced in weddings and thought of things that we wouldn’t have as far as poses, particular shots, and how the day would go. Communication was always prompt and professional and we got great value for the rate they charge. We loved our wedding day and now we have photos and an amazing highlight video that will help us cherish those memories.
Philip Jacob and JZ Studio were simply A-MAZ-ING! My brother and sister-in-law used their services for their wedding in 2020 and when my husband and I were planning our wedding my husband immediately requested that we go with JZ Studio. From the moment that we reached out, through our engagement shoot, through our wedding they have been amazingly responsive, kind, flexible and even more so fun to work with!
With out wedding needing flexibility due to COVID world we are living in, Philip and his team were extremely accommodating and even more so very kind and attentive to our wants and needs. Our guest were so happy with our photos and so were we!
Their pricing is extremely reasonable and they are quality photos. Please do not hesitate to schedule a consultation to connect with them for your event!
Simply the BEST EVER!
We used JZ Studio photography for a themed wedding party and the pictures came out excellent. They captured every aspect of the party from entertainment to dance floor shenanigans to the food. They were professional throughout and I would highly recommend using them.
Philip is very professional, knowledgeable, pleasant and kind. He takes his time to get all the perfect shots. Philip has captured the essence of our love twice! first at our engagement shoot and then at our wedding ceremony. I would highly recommend his services and will continue to use him when available.
I hired JZ studio for my wedding and couldn't be happier with the outcome. Weddings are already expensive so it was nice to find someone who didn't charge an arm and a leg for photos. Some one the other photographers I was looking at were trying to quote over $10,000 - which was more then the actual wedding!! The turn around time was as he said about a week.
Philip is great absolutely recommend his work! He was so patient and gave us great directions for our wedding pictures on 10/2/2020
Highly highly recommend! Philip did an amazing job capturing our wedding! I was so great looking through the photos and reliving our wedding!
We had a great experience working with Philip of JZ Studio Photography for our wedding photography. We couldn’t be happier. This company is very professional and easy to work with. They personalized a package for me to make sure I got what I wanted at a price I could afford. I really felt like my desires and needs were listened to and not dismissed. Philip stayed in touch from the moment we signed the contract through delivery of the photos after the wedding, always keeping me informed about what was happening on his end as well as making sure he had all of the information he needed from me. The wedding day itself went very smoothly. Having just viewed the results, we are very pleased with the mix of posed and candid shots that were taken at our wedding. The quality of the photos is incredible considering the affordable price this company offers. I highly recommend working with them and will certainly contact them again if/when I am in need of professional photography.
Our experience with JZ studio was fabulous!!!! They captured the photos of my baby shower. Philip and Benny did a fantastic job. Philip took care of every aspect we suggested and took incredible pics of our big day. They made my new year 2020!!!! Thank you so much again!!!!! ☺️☺️☺️
Our experience with JZ Studio was GREAT! We hired them for photography and engagement. Our initial encounter with Philip , was very friendly and helpful. He listened to our needs and was able to offer us a great package at a competitive price. Once hired, we were in constant touch which helped making planning so easy. In the days before our wedding, both photographers reached out to us to confirm all the information, leaving us worry free. Our wedding photos came out better than we could have imagined. Finally, Ann did such an AWESOME job on our album. The pictures she recommended we use helped a great deal and the way she was able to make it flow was fantastic. As they promised the flash drove was delivered in 3 weeks and album shipped to us in 6 weeks. Planning a wedding is stressful and JZ Studio helped make everything a LOT easier for us. great job. Thank you JZ
JZ Photography was just a wonderful experience! Philip worked with my husband and I a lot on our package and pricing to get us everything we wanted and needed and within our budget. They were AMAZING! They listened to our requests and we ended up with beautiful photos! They were very fun to work with and mixed well with our wedding party! We will definitely be using them again in the future for other events and HIGHLY recommend for anybody getting married.
We had a good experience with jz studio photography for our wedding. We believe they were very flexible with our plans and put a good effort in providing service based on our needs. Although we did not ask, Philip provided a second photographer for our session to capture more shots at no charge. However, we believe some shots could have been closer to our taste, we think the effort and value worth their company a try for anyone looking for a patient photographer who is very easy to work and coordinated.
This was a three days Indian wedding. The photographers were on time on all three days and took pictures of everything we requested !! Philip and team was very easy to work with and we did a lot of fun poses with the wedding party too!! They did a fantastic job with my wedding album. Very rich and vibrant colors.
Great service and excellent price. Phillip was very kind and professional, always punctual. He took care of every aspect we suggested and took incredible pictures of our big day.
JZ Studio Photography was very professional and flexible with us when scheduling a time for the photo shoot. They worked with our schedules, and they not only met our expectations but exceeded them. The photos turned out great and exactly how we had envisioned. We are terrible models so they did a great job making us feel comfortable and helping us pose so we didn't look awkward. Definitely recommend them!
JZ Studio captured the photos for my wedding. They arrived early on my special day and dressed very professional, I was impressed. They use excellent photography equipment and have a great flash set up in order to avoid shadows or darkness on the face. Not many photographers can get bright, vivid photos of my husband because of his very dark skin tone but JZ Studio did a perfect job achieving the photos I have always wanted to see! All the pictures turned out very crisp and clear. The color is perfect. Philip was very patient with my active 6 year old son. JZ Studio edited the photos wonderfully to enhance the natural beauty of the photo not to change it out of its original character. The turn around time between the photo shoot and receiving the photo is short. I am so very happy that we choose JZ Studio to capture our wedding ceremony because we will now be able to have our memories for a lifetime and share them with all our friends and family. Their photography is something I'm proud to hang on the walls in my home. I highly recommend JZ Studio for any photography needs that you have. I couldn't be more pleased with them.
Philip was everything I could have asked for! My wedding pictures turned out great, I only had 3 months to plan my wedding and he worked with me in every way possible. He took some wonderful pictures!

JZ did the photography for my wedding. The pictures turned out beautifully, and I was happy that I owned the pictures.
Jacob captured every right moment in every right way. Looking at the photos he did for us makes us want to do it all over again! Jacob was professional, fun and kept the entire day super organized. He is amazing!. If you are looking for an energetic, creative and extremely talented photographer, Jacob is your guy! He did an excellent job of creating our story with his photos. His phenomenal talent, and genuine love for his work, are what make him such an awesome photographer, as well as an amazing individual. Jacob WILL NOT disappoint you! I will highly recommend to others and we will use him again.
JZ team is the real deal. He does it all. We were so impressed with his work, and the finished product. Pictures can be can awkward thing, but JZ team made it comfortable and easy. He has great ideas for poses. our wedding ceremony and engagement pictures were so great and we liked so much. Moreover, I have to say something about his album design that was phenomenal album. We will definitely be using him in the future.
Philip is very professional, knowledgeable, pleasant and kind. He takes his time to get all the perfect shots.
Philip has captured the essence of our love twice! first at our engagement shoot and then at our wedding ceremony.
