If I could give him a higher rating, I would. It was an absolute pleasure to have JM photograph my wedding. He is super professional, he listened to what I wanted to see in the photos and made sure he got the photos I had in mind. In addition to his professionalism and attention to detail, he is the friendliest and easiest person to work with, my family was thrilled with the person he is. I was so intrigued that he will be taking the pictures for the wedding party this summer. Highly recommended!

I hired JM to photograph our small wedding last summer. He was super easy to coordinate with and helped us to tailor fit our package! The other thing we really appreciated about working with JM was his receptiveness. He was always quick to respond to us, even if he didn't have the answer or solution right away, he responded and then took the time to find the correct information for us. He absolutely crushed it at our wedding, my husband and I were blown away with the photos and video! Please Please hire him for your wedding, he is amazing! 🏳️🌈

My husband and I decided to elope last November. We had originally elected not to hire a photographer. After some pressure from family and friends to get photos done, we reached out J-M.
Not only did he do an amazing job capturing the day, but he helped us so much leading up to and on the day. He had all the answers to our questions and on the day of, he had everything timelined out and was 3 steps ahead of us the entire day.
We can't say thank you enough, J-M. You truly made the day!
J-M went above and beyond, he even included a 4 minute video recap of the day. If you are getting married and are looking for a photographer, call J-M!

JM is the best! Done multiple family photo shoots with him and always so happy with the results. He captures the perfect moments beautifully! Also is so accommodating, my toddler hates the camera and he manages to still get amazing pictures of her. I wont go to anyone else for photos!

Hi Maddie! Thank you so much for the kind words, I love my shoots with you and Cecila. Can't wait for the next one!

J-M is the BEST! My partner and I are very shy and usually hate getting our photos taken. We reached out to J-M for some engagement/save the date photos. He was so easy to work with and made us immediately feel at ease in front of the camera. He came prepared with a whole bunch of notes and visual aids to help us feel more comfortable when posing. The shoot felt so natural and we ended up truly having so much fun. If you are looking for someone who will make you feel comfortable and relaxed while getting the most AMAZING photos, J-M is your guy!
Response from the Vendor on 03/20/2024

We had a wonderful time with JM, he was timely and made us very comfortable. We brought our cat and dog to do holiday photos outside and he was super helpful holding our animals. He helped us carry our bags and was overall a delight to work with.

JM is not only an exceptionally gifted photographer but also one of the most genuine and kind-hearted people you'll ever have the pleasure to work with and be around. Our engagement shoot with him was an absolute joy. He created an atmosphere where we could authentically be ourselves and simply have fun. When weather concerns halted our original scheduled shoot, he was so flexible with us and accommodated our needs graciously. And then despite enduring one of the most windiest days ever... (LOL) the final results were nothing short of magic. My fiancé and I couldn't recommend him more. Thank you again!
Response from the Vendor on 03/21/2024
Thank you so much Noelle! I had so much fun, and it worked out perfect! 💛

JM is a true professional. He shot my surprise engagement, and did a photo shoot later. He went a week before the engagement, did his homework on the spot, took notes/found the perfect spot for our proposal with my fiance and executed it all perfectly on our special day! He even handled our year old puppy while taking pics of us at the same time! How he got her to stay still and smile at the camera is beyond me! Don’t look any further, JM is your guy. He truly captured our love and I cannot wait to continue using him as our photographer in the future!!!
Response from the Vendor on 03/21/2024
Meghan! I had so much fun. I'm so happy I was able to capture your engagement! And Maeve was the real star of the shoot lets me honest.. what a cute pup! 💛

I have nothing but great things to say about de Jota-Media! The pictures and videos from my wedding came out AH-mazing. From start to finish, J-M was so detailed in getting all the RIGHT shots and angles that I wanted. My husband and I watch our video every year on our anniversary and it feels like we are reliving the moment. Thank you de Jota-Media!
Response from the Vendor on 03/20/2024
Aw, thank you so much for the glowing review, Erica! I'm thrilled to hear that you and Herm love reliving your special day through the photos and video. It was such an honor to be part of capturing those precious moments for you!

JM was a great photographer for our wedding. My partner and I can be camera shy at times but he is great at working with people and had no problem getting us to loosen up. He is down to earth, easy to work with and took feedback very well.
Our photos of the ceremony came out great and he did an amazing job of capturing the vibe of our after party. The drone shots were a cool touch as well and he put together a great video summary of the event afterwards which we loved. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

I too will cherish those photos forever! Symba 💛 !
