I’m really disappointed with our experience with this wedding photographer. Communication leading up to the wedding was extremely poor. Our other vendors needed a timeline, and des...
pite asking multiple times, we didn’t receive one until just a couple of days before the wedding—and even then, it was incorrect.
On the day of the wedding, there was very little direction given, which made things feel disorganized and stressful. A lot of time was spent on detail shots. We paid for extra time at our venue specifically to capture more photos after the ceremony, and while we did take pictures during that time, only a small number of them were actually included in the final gallery.
The post-wedding communication was just as frustrating. We were initially told we would receive a preview, which never came. Then we were told we’d get a few images—this deadline was pushed back multiple times. Eventually, we were promised the full gallery the following week, but in total it took about three extra weeks beyond that estimate to receive anything. We did receive the images within the contracted time but he kept telling us we would receive them prior causing worry something was wrong when we did not get them.
To be fair, the photos we did receive were good quality. However, there were not many photos of me and my husband, which was very disappointing, and again, several requested shots were completely missing.
Overall, the lack of communication, organization, and follow-through made this a frustrating experience. As someone in the photography industry, I honestly wish we had chosen a different photographer.
When we first met Jarvis, aka Rocksteady Images, we knew that he was different. He put in the effort to genuinely build a relationship with us through every step of the process. Go...
ing into our engagement photoshoot, we started off timid in front of the camera. However, we left with smiles on our faces and a brand new friend, in Jarvis. On the day of our Wedding, Jarvis was a champ. He coached our family into their poses efficiently and worked well with the rest of our wedding vendors. He went the extra mile to capture the beauty, fun, and joy of our special day in his photos. A huge thank you to Jarvis for not only capturing our special moments, but for helping us to make new ones too.
Jarvis!!! You are an incredible photographer and person. Thank you for being a part of our wedding day and taking the most special pictures to capture all the moments. 15/10 recomm...

(not enough space to say all the awesome things)
We got recommended to use Rocksteady through another photographer friend for our wedding, we met Jarvis via zoom and I was super e...
xcited to work with him. We clicked from the day we met for a practice shoot & lunch, he was professional, kind, and so much fun. Jarvis asked alot of questions to feel out our vibe for what we wanted, and what we wanted was for him to do his thing. I trust him as a shooter to know what the best shots will be and how ever to obtain them, i wanted him to do whatever he liked because thats always how you know your stuff will come out FANTASTIC, and he doesnt disappoint. We left everything in his hands on what he thought would be a good shot & let him go for it how ever he wanted to do so. Day of the wedding, Jarvis was well appreciated from the get-go, both my mom and MIL loved him, his personality isnt something you can buy but you can buy his packages, hang with him, get the photos of your dreams and the laughs for free. Im not a huge pose person, so i told him to just tell me what to do and he did. He told me how to position myself to get the best photos and he told me how tilt my face so i dont have a double chin (I asked full blown for the pointers). He low key was the life of the party and my own personal hype man in the bridal cabin (along with the girls). Working with Jarvis was a breeze of fun, i cant wait to see the photos he got, not only was he on top of the mountain with us but my husbands friends got him on their shoulders. He was sliding onto the dance floor on his knees and getting the best candid's.
Had the bridal party & groomsmen having fun during all the photos. We were even able to get in some "Office" themed shots. I HONESTLY cant tell you how many of my guests & family members complimented Jarvis in one way or another. He was there & not there at the same time, like a ninja the entire time. I cant stress enough how important it is to be comfortable with your vendors.
This team brings such a vibe i have a hard time putting into words. They're both so laid back, that it puts you at ease, but then they also bring such a happy vibe to the room that if you arent the best at smiling they get you laughing. And then party time rolls around that they just know how to like be a part of the party but they're still crushing their job. I cant express enough gratitude and love for Jarvis & his second shooter. It truly was a pleasure having them both there and i look forward to using them for any other photography needs i might have in the future.
When you hire Jarvis as the photographer for your wedding, you're not only hiring a beyond talented artist, but also a partner, planner, and calming presence to the lead up of your...
day. He asks all the right questions, he knows the ins-and-outs of the business, he can direct a bridal party with ease, and does it all with energy that your guests even notice. His work speaks for itself. He sees the small moments, captures them, and injects them with magic. His attention to detail is unmatched and from the moment he arrives on your day, you know you're in good hands. He prioritizes the relationship between you and your partner, as well as the relationship as client + photographer.
Jarvis understands the importance of relationships, trust, and authenticity as you prepare for your wedding day. His goal is for you, as the couple, to feel seen, heard, and taken care of. I can't recommend him enough, and am so glad that we're forever apart of the Rocksteady family.
Jarvis was our photographer for our wedding this past September and to say that he impressed would be a wild understatement. We were impressed with his work before we even reached ...
out, and all the way to the wedding day he kept raising the bar higher. He was a calming presence before and during our wedding, and partied with us during the reception, all while capturing every moment. Everyone who attended our wedding first told us how much fun they had, then immediately brought up how much they loved our photographer!! Literally sliding into the dance floor to capture photos that you can’t get anywhere else, we wholeheartedly recommend Rocksteady for your wedding.
My fiancé and I had never had photos done together before we found Rocksteady Images. Based on the amazing reviews we had very high hopes that our engagement shoot would go great. ...
Our photographer Jarvis exceeded our expectations which I didn't even think were possible. He captured our relationship perfectly on camera. Just by looking at the photos you can see and feel the love we have for each other and in that specific moment. Our families are obsessed with them and agree that our relationship was so perfectly caught on camera. We both went into the photo shoot feeling nervous and when we met up with Jarvis he made all of the nervous worried feelings disappear within the first five minutes of talking to him. He is the kindest, most down to earth, personable and coolest photographer I've ever had the pleasure of working with. My fiancé (who never cared for having photos taken) now hopes we can make it a traditional special activity we do every year for our anniversary. Jarvis will 100% be our wedding photographer for our reception next year. We don't have a set date for it yet since we are getting married in Ireland this November but if I have to I will work my reception around his schedule. He is the only one I trust with the job and if I could take him with us to Ireland I would. I can't recommend him enough. Jarvis is beyond talented and knows how to make you feel so comfortable during the whole process and plus he's like a magic sorcerer behind the camera. You know the photos will come out magical!
Jarvis and Leah were suggested to us by a friend. After looking at their wedding pictures, we immediately fell in love with the candid emotion that these two capture in every photo...
. Rocksteady's pictures speak for themselves, but what we were truly so lucky to have was the friendship we made in this beautiful couple. Our wedding was one of the many that had to be rescheduled due to COVID 19. My husband and I made the decision to get married still on June 20, 2020 and have a big party later that year to celebrate. As we told Jarvis and Leah this, there was no hesitation and they IMMEDIATELY started planning and replanning the schedule for our photos for our special day in June. They made us truly feel excited for our day and promised to be there, quarantining and all, for our special day. Later that year, we had to reschedule our big celebration AGAIN. Throughout this whole entire process, Jarvis and Leah put us and our marriage first and never ever waivered on their commitment to being there for us in all weddings. We had the most amazing celebrations and, to this day, people still talk about how incredibly amazing our photographers were. Beautiful pictures, beautiful memories, and truly beautiful people! Anyone who works with them is lucky, and we feel so very blessed that these two followed our relationship for the past 3 years of planning. Thank you will never be enough!
I am the photographer of my friend group, so my bridal party hired Jarvis for my bridal shower so that I didn't have to worry about the day being captured. I'm quite picky, but my ...
experience with Rocksteady was 100 out of 10.
Jarvis captured every detail of the day. And when we received our album, it really told the whole story and the photos were INCREDIBLE. While Jarvis obviously captured awesome posed photos, he also has a photojournalistic style and subtly captured many of the "behind the scenes" moments. Jarvis was truly awesome to work with day-of and made us feel comfortable and really helped with our posing when we felt awkward. I whole-heartedly recommend Rocksteady Images.
Best of the Best! Amazing people! Amazing Aesthetic! Very talented photographers... Couldn’t have asked for better wedding photos!
To say Rocksteady surpassed all expectations I had would be the understatement of the year. My now husband and I are a COVID couple, and decided to postpone our larger celebration ...
til 2021 and do a small gathering this year. This is where Jarvis came in. From our first introduction all the way through delivering final pictures, Jarvis was a pleasure to work with - timely, responsive, and of course (and obviously) insanely talented. All of our friends and family are obsessed with our pictures and everyone that sees them comments on how amazing they are. I am so thrilled with Jarvis' work and would recommend them to anyone & everyone!
Jarvis and Leah are truly the best of the best and I wish I could give them MORE than 5 stars. Rocksteady is above and beyond wedding photography - it is so clear and tangible how ...
much they care for the couples they work with and you know that on your wedding day they are just as invested as you are.
More than taking absolutely stunning photography and capturing beautiful, genuine moments on our wedding day, they were a comforting presence to have - which is so important on such a stressful and emotional day! I really can’t recommend Rocksteady enough. If you are looking for beautiful wedding photos that capture not only the bride and groom but the family, wedding party, guests, scenery and details, you need to hire Rocksteady!
Jarvis and Leah, aka Rocksteady, were the best wedding photographers! Throughout the entire process of working with them, from doing a video chat early on to get to know each other...
before making any decisions, to receiving our full set of wonderful wedding photos, we were impressed with their dedication, talent, and general awesomeness. They really made an effort to get to know us, understand our particular preferences, make us comfortable, and create beautiful photographs that were personal and fitting for us. Jarvis and Leah are genuinely kind and considerate people, and they are very professional and experienced - but also fun to be around. Friends of ours had used Rocksteady for their wedding, and we had heard good things from the couple as well as the wedding party. Our own research of their website and reviews compared to other options, plus a video chat with Jarvis and Leah solidified our decision. We selected a package that included an engagement photo session, and we were very happy with that decision. Not only did we get some excellent photos, but we also appreciated having the opportunity to get to know Rocksteady and their style in advance of our wedding. Plus, we truly enjoyed the session, due in part to Jarvis and Leah’s friendliness, ability to put us at ease, and willingness to go along with our ideas. Our package also included a venue visit during which we and the Rocksteady duo scoped out our wedding venue for great photo opps a couple months before the wedding. That was very helpful and, again, a nice chance to connect with our wedding photographers before the wedding day. Jarvis and Leah were also very helpful in planning in advance an itinerary of photos / events for our wedding day. Their advice was valuable and we really appreciated that they were so organized. On the day of our wedding, it was no surprise that Jarvis and Leah were fantastic and surpassed our expectations. They were professional, organized, and prepared, as well as being a positive, comforting, and fun influence. They both looked out for us and stayed attuned to our wishes while also crushing it on the photography front all day. Jarvis and Leah make such a great team. Plus, it really made a difference that we felt a strong personal connection to them by the time it was our wedding day - being photographed for your wedding is a very personal experience, and we think it was more enjoyable and special (and less awkward!) having our photographers be people with whom we had already bonded. We received a handful of preview photos from Rocksteady shortly after our wedding, and they were all fantastic. We were thrilled when we received our full set of photos, as they were also spectacular. Rocksteady did an excellent job of capturing so many aspects of our wedding day through beautiful photos. We are grateful for Jarvis and Leah’s part in making our wedding amazing, and we would highly recommend them to any couple looking for outstanding wedding photographers.
Rocksteady Images made our day! They were so attentive to detail and helped everything run according to the schedule they created. I didn't feel stressed because I followed what th...
ey said was next. My husband and I were so pleased with they way they communicated with us prior to the wedding as well as during the day. We can't wait to see our pictures! They truly knew our vision for the day.
Choosing Rocksteady images was the best decision of our entire wedding. There are a million reasons why I would recommend Jarvis & Leah to any bride and groom but I will focus on j...
ust a few here.
TRUST: This dynamic duo are masters at their craft. They are creative geniuses. From the moment we met them I knew they had it handled. I fully trusted them to capture every moment perfectly. Not once during the process was I worried if I was going to get the photos I wanted on my wedding day.
ORGANIZATION: These 2 know how to plan! They scheduled everything out to the minute and coordinated a wedding party of 24 people like aces. They kept everything moving and were able to pivot where needed without stressing anyone out. My entire wedding party was in awe of their masterful organization skills!
CALM: Your wedding day has a lot of moving pieces and you will want Leah & Jarvis by your side keeping the zen. They are such a beautiful couple with the best communication skills I have ever seen. They hit you like a wave of tranquility the moment they walk in the door. I felt a sense of peace my entire wedding day because of them.
LOVE & CARE: Leah & Jarvis became our friends the moment we met them. They embrace you and your wedding day with such love and care. Our wedding party and all our guests also fell in love with them. They pour their heart & soul into everything about your wedding and it is infectious. One month later, and my wedding party is still saying "we miss Leah & Jarvis!"
THE PICTURES: My friends have been in a lot of weddings and everyone keeps saying they have never seen pictures this spectacular. I am truly speechless at the beautiful photos they took.
You have got to go with Rocksteady Images for your wedding - trust me!
These two. Honestly, it took me a long time to write this because of how much these two meant to us at our wedding. Leah and Jarvis were referred to us by a family member, and it w...
as, without question, one of the best things about our wedding.
The first time we met them was over dinner and a drink at a local restaurant. Within the first half hour it felt like we were with friends. We met them several more times before the wedding, each time felt like we were getting together with long lost friends.
The morning of the wedding, I was stressed and filled with anxiety. In walks Jarvis at 9:00am and everything changed the second I saw him. He is a true professional, and a master of his craft. He brought a calm energy that really helped me relax. He knew exactly what he was doing and instantly connected with all of my groomsmen.
I had 12 guys in my wedding party. Jarvis knew all of their names almost immediately. He was like one of the guys, right off the bat. My friends were dumbfounded by how incredible he was and the awesome shots he was taking. Not many people can have 13 guys follow their every command so seamlessly. I can't stress how good Jarvis is at commanding a group and running the show.
Once we got to the venue I got to experience just how talented Leah is as well. Leah photographed my wife and her 12 bridesmaids in the morning, and when my wife writes her review shes going to heap an unbelievable amount of praise on her. She is amazing and has that same calm energy about her.
The 2 of them work seamlessly. They never make you feel uncomfortable. They are ALWAYS fun to be around and they make every shot an experience. They are quite literally the perfect pair.
When we look back on our wedding, I will forever be grateful to have met Leah and Jarvis, and to have had them photograph our wedding. I can't do them justice.
Hire them. Immediately.
Jarvis and Leah went above and beyond what is expected of photographers! They met with us and were in communication with us from the time we booked until the wedding day - and even...
now that it's finished! They really put in time and effort to not jus take our pictures but INVEST in us as a couple, praying for us and checking in through the whole planning process. In turn, I think it really did so much to make us more comfortable in front of the camera (and them!) and to help us be more at ease while getting our pictures taken - which definitely gives better photos!! They are the best of the best; organized and efficient, flexible and willing. I would definitely recommend them - you'll not only get amazing quality photos, but you'll gain two wonderful new, godly friends!

s tremendously. Jarvis and Leah take the time to get to know their couples and even craft a detailed timeline which helps keep things on track day of the wedding. We are so happy with the way each and every picture turned out and they truly are wedding ninjas (you don't even notice them taking pictures!)

Leah and Jarvis are superb photographers that go above and beyond any expectation you will ever have. While searching through the 100’s of the photographers in the area, my husban...
d and I were very selective in who to choose. Not only was cost, professional experience, style and package options important to us; but we wanted a sense of comfortability and familiarity with a company that would be in charge of capturing one of the most important days of our lives. We met with several different photographers and when we met with Leah and Jarvis, we were incredibly impressed with what they offered.
They worked with our budget and wedding needs, but most importantly their ability to be relatable and personable was heartening. (My bridal party agreed as well). After our contract was set we had several more meetings with Leah and Jarvis. This included a venue trip over an hour and a half away, practice clicks session (we opted out of the engagement photos), and coming to our rehearsal dinner to meet the bridal party/family members/church personal. By the time our wedding rolled around, my husband and I started to consider them friends. The day of the wedding Jarvis’s organized schedule helped keep our 18 person party on track; even when weather did not cooperate for a portion of the day.
In summary they are a perfect pick. Leah and Jarvis’s photography techniques complement each other so you get a blend of styles in your prints. They are extremely professional, organized, and their ninja skills are superb (they do everything in their power to not be in photos yet still get amazing shots- hence ninja skills).
We would hire them again in a heartbeat.
Jarvis and Leah went above and beyond in every way they possibly could. They were extremely helpful in planning out our wedding day and offering expert advice wherever we needed it...
. We had so much fun on our venue visit and engagement shoot - they are such an amazing couple to hangout with. On our wedding day they so skillfully and lovingly captured amazing details and beautiful moments, while also being mind-blowingly organized, flexible, helpful, and joyful. We were blown away by the beauty, creativity, and skill of each shot they captured. We could not be happier about our choice of photographers.
Jarvis and Leah are amazing! They were there from the beginning, helping us map out the whole day to make us more comfortable with the flow of everything. We were provided with an ...
amazing timeline to layout the moments that would be captured, time frames, and meeting points. This helped to ease the stress of everything else a bride needs to deal with on her big day. Their artistic soulful vision translates perfectly through the lens. They are not only there as photographers but as friends. I continue to get compliments on my photos and I highly recommend them!
From our first meeting with Jarvis and Leah we felt at ease. Not only is their work incredible but they also are such a sweet couple who truly listen to what you want and how you e...
nvision your big day. They got to know us so that we felt comfortable around them when it came to the day of our wedding and it truly made a difference. They also were really amazing with making sure that they understood what was important to us so they could capture all the moments that meant the most to us on our wedding day. I am so thankful that we went with rocksteady we cherish the photos and also are very thankful for the support and encouragement they gave us on our big day. Jarvis and Leah were extremely organized and professional and really had a game plan for the day which made us feel like we were in good hands. The photos they take are beautiful and they always seem to capture those meaningful moments filled with emotion. We loved working with them, they are simply the best!
What can I say? I learned quickly that the photographer is one of the most important people at your wedding. Working with Leah and Jarvis was fun, special, professional, efficient ...
and life changing! Every moment planning and working with them was organized and fun! Their marriage is a beautiful ministry that shows through their work and inspires those they work with. They helped us stay calm on the day of and are so caring to our needs and helping us to remember the true purpose and foundation for our special day. Our engagement photos and wedding (sneak peeks) are so beautiful that people say they thought they were off of a magazine cover. We loved working with them! And we hope to continue to further a lasting friendship. They are a blessing!
