JTR Media - Photography + Videography 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Gaines, PA

Visit our website by clicking the globe icon below to start planning! We’re Josh and Taylor of JTR Media, a husband and wife team of Central PA wedding photographers and videographers based in Clearfield, Pennsylvania. With over a decade of experience capturing weddings, we specialize in timeless, emotional photography and videography that tells the true story of your day. From local celebrations across Central PA to magical moments at Walt Disney World and aboard Disney Cruise Line, we document weddings with a blend of artistic storytelling and natural, documentary-style coverage.

Where to begin? I imagine if you are reading this section you are looking to see how the experience other couples had with JTR Media was and if you should consider hiring them. Well here is the short answer from one couple that had the pleasure of getting to work with Josh and Taylor for our wedding… absolutely yes! Josh and Taylor did the photography and videography for our March 2023 Disney Wedding. From the initial discussions of planning to the day of execution, JTR were very personable, professional, and knowledgeable. We originally were planning to work with Disney but due to the lack of knowledge of which photographer you could get until a couple of weeks out, we elected to go with a more sure thing and personal touch. We had a bunch of things Disney was covering and looking back at all the wedding choices, we are so glad we got JTR to cover our wedding. What separates them? Well I can’t speak for every couple’s experience but from Day 1 they made it about us. They listened to what images we absolutely needed, provided suggestions for other locations or experiences we could do, and engaged with us through the Disney planning process to make sure everything Day of was out of the bride and groom’s hands and under control. They had a great questionnaire that was thorough and helped establish a foundation for the picture catalog. Getting the images back, well that’s just as great as working with them. Wow! We constantly get compliments on how the images capture the spirit of the moment. You see such amazing emotions from all of our wedding guests at different stages of the wedding! The turn around time was great and accessing the images and video is a breeze. So if you made it to the end of this review my hats off to you but I wanted to elaborate on the experience because it is an anxious decision about selecting wedding vendors. With JTR you can count on a professional product with the personal experience. We will forever be grateful to Josh and Taylor and can’t recommend them enough!

Erin and the entire OLAS team were an absolute dream from start to finish. From our very first phone call to receiving the final gallery, everyone was kind, professional, and so helpful. Erin was a calming, joyful presence all day long – giving gentle direction exactly when we needed it and somehow making us feel like total naturals in front of the camera. Every single photo is breathtaking. She captured the giggles, the happy tears, the little glances – every moment that made the day feel like pure magic. Steve and I keep saying we’ve never smiled so much in our lives, and now we get to relive it forever because Erin caught our love so perfectly. If you’re getting married: book OLAS. 10/10. Marry your best friend and let OLAS capture it. We’re obsessed and will recommend them to everyone we know! Thank you, thank you, thank you for making our wedding day even more unforgettable.

Working with Portraits By Sean was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Their communication style was professional, efficient, and genuinely kind throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was truly one-of-a-kind - their photos are gorgeous, superb, innovative, and incredibly detail-oriented and precise. The team of two photographers and a videographer was amazing, capturing so many special moments that will forever stay with us from our wedding day. We were especially grateful that they were able to capture our private final dance, which means the world to us. After our wedding, when our oldest son was leaving for bootcamp, Sean thoughtfully sent us additional photos that had been taken during the celebration, which are now cherished keepsakes for our family. I honestly can't say enough good things about our experience with Portraits By Sean - they exceeded our expectations in every way and we are thrilled with the beautiful memories they've preserved for us.

Her years of wedding coordination and event experience were truly evident throughout every step of the day. Not only was she totally on top of keeping us on our timeline and capturing all of the special moments, but she even went into super hero mode and on the spot sewed one of my bridesmaids dresses in the bathroom right before the ceremony without showing an ounce of stress. We already received our preview photos and are truly blown away by how she captured our love & our special day. Her attention to detail, calming presence, and creative approach are truly invaluable and we will be recommending her to everyone we know for years to come!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Ihor. He photographed both our engagement near Beacon, NY and our wedding in Glen Ridge, NY at the Glen Ridge Women's Club, and the results were incredible across the board. For our engagement shoot, which was mostly outdoors, Ihor recommended the best time of day so the lighting would be perfect, and it really shows in the photos. We moved around to several locations on the property, and even though the shoot was only about an hour, we ended up with tons of great shots. He was easy to work with and gave helpful direction that made us feel and look comfortable on camera. On our wedding day, Ihor arrived on time, stayed engaged the whole evening, and captured so many meaningful moments. Our venue was fairly dimly lit, but everything came out sharp, colorful, and beautiful. He did a great job capturing both the big moments and the candid ones in between, along with the emotion throughout the day. He also delivered way more photos than we expected, including a preview just a couple days after the wedding. Beyond the photos, Ihor is a genuinely great guy and a pleasure to have around. We would absolutely work with him again and highly recommend him.

YOU HAVE FOUND YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER! Andre and team are the best choice I ever could have made for my wedding. They are so great to work with. I had so much fun with the whole team. This man. This beautiful, amazing human was so prepared for EVERYTHING. Tampons, sewing kit, bobby pins. Literally ready for anything. He helped me put my veil in and take it out. He bustled my dress for me. He was there laughing the whole time and went with every single idea I came up with. He was ALWAYS responsive. Always sending me new ideas. Always checking in. Wanted my engagement photos in a cemetery. Andre found the perfect one. Told him I was putting my nephew in a chicken costume. Andre thought it was the best idea. This man even stitched together a photo of me in my dress and my mom in her dress because it was the same dress. Just altered. This team is so incredible at what they do and are just the most amazing people. I want to be lifetime friends with Andre and his team. I am recommending them to every single other couple I know that is getting married until Andre decides to retire. Direct quote from my mother "He was fabulous." You are absolutely making the wrong choice if you go with any other photographer. No one will ever match how great TAJ Photography is. Book. Them. Now.

I’m Aira, a documentary wedding photographer based in Maryland, available worldwide.

The quality of their work was superb - the photos they captured were perfect, with Aira expertly finding the best angles to showcase our special day. She brought a second photographer which helped everything run smoothly.

My only wish is that our wedding videos were a bit longer, as I think there was more footage they could have included. However, they explained this would affect the overall look, so I understand their decision. Overall, our experience with Precious Pics White Glove was very positive and I would recommend them to other couples.

Hi, I’m Tara—also known as Talula—and I’m a firm believer that photos are memories frozen in time. I’ve been capturing everything and everyone around me for as long as I can remember, starting with Polaroids and flip phones before upgrading to my first real camera at 19. I haven’t put it down since. I’m married to my best friend of 12+ years, and together we’re raising a beautiful little girl. When I’m not behind the camera or editing, I’m most likely crafting using my Cricut or spending quality time with the people/animals I love (like my dog Quinn).

My name is Maya (they/them), and I'm a queer, love-obsessed photographer operating out of Pennsylvania and traveling all over. I specialize in weddings and elopements, especially non-traditional, LGBTQ+, and multicultural celebrations. I am the 'picnic elopement in the woods' or 'weekend campsite celebration' or 'screw it, let's get married at a Waffle House' photographer.

Awarded Best of Zola
Maya is one of the most wonderful, genuine, and detailed photographers I've ever met, and I've worked with a lot of photographers in my line of work! My partner and I chose Maya first for our engagement photos because of their dynamic, warm style, and ended up enjoying working with them so much that we decided to book them for our wedding! My partner is quite shy and doesn't enjoy his photo being taken, but Maya made him feel so comfortable and confident. We are an LGBTQ couple, and Maya made us feel so valid and loved expressing who we are. Maya was so communicative throughout the whole wedding planning process, and constantly provided us with resources to help us with our general planning. Maya and their co-photographer took so much care and detail on the day of the wedding to get every small detail to every huge moment. Everything worked like literal clockwork, everything felt super chill and fun, and even shooting large family photos (with way too many cousins) ended up being a breeze! Maya truly cares about their work, especially their clients. We could not recommend Maya enough!!!

Brayley was hands down the easiest and one of the best hires for our wedding. I found her through the Zola website as a photographer with five stars. I reached out, and she got back to me immediately. Her communication skills were top-notch, and I hired her that same day. My fiancé and I live in the Carolinas, and despite the three-hour time difference, we always felt in the loop, heard, and understood. From the first email to the wedding day, she was amazing. Now let's get to the important stuff... the wedding day. She was incredible. She got all the shots I wanted and then some.

From start to finish, JayDee and his team at Pluvia Studios were nothing short of exceptional! JayDee's attentive and thorough communication made navigating my sister's wedding preparations an absolute breeze. On the big day, he ensured our entire group felt completely relaxed and genuinely at ease, a testament to his clear vision and the team's seamless execution. The moment we received the notification that our photos and videos were ready, our excitement was palpable. Viewing them filled us with tears of joy and overwhelming love, as each beautifully captured memory transported us right back to the wedding day. I wholeheartedly recommend JayDee and Pluvia Studios to anyone seeking top-quality photography and videography to capture their most cherished moments.

Capturing weddings as they unfold rather than directing how they should feel. My approach is quiet and observant — present enough to anticipate moments, but never interrupt them. The day moves naturally, and the images follow.

Awarded Best of Zola
After our first photographer fell through, we found Caz and luckily he happened to be available on our wedding date. From the very first contact, he was incredibly responsive (super important to us), friendly and professional. His work looked great so we were excited - then we found out he was featured in Vogue! We were stoked. He was amazing to work with on the wedding day - punctual, friendly, got all the requested shots, and the whole bridal party loved him. We got our pictures back today - and they’re so much better than we could have dreamed of. It’s no wonder he was featured in Vogue - his work is artistic, candid, and beautiful. Thank you Caz for giving us such beautiful memories so we can relive the best day of our lives.

Hi! My name is Steve. I do visual storytelling. I’m married with three kids and in my spare time I record music and build things. I've been filming and photographing weddings since 2009. I love travel and getting to know unique couples.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Steven and his team to do our wedding photos and videography. I really wanted a photographer that could capture the soul of the event, and Steven did exactly that. His photos are full of life, and I shared so many portraits with guests that actually got printed out or posted online. If you're looking for hundreds of photos of your wedding party that look exactly the same and for every planned second to be documented, Steven is not your person. If you're looking to hit the big moments but focus on capturing raw moments with timeless photos to get framed, I couldn't recommend them more. I never thought I would get a wedding video because it always seemed cheesy to me. But after watching examples of his work I fell absolutely in love with his videos. I've honestly had a hard time watching ours because it evokes so much emotion. Steven was collaborative and willing to go with the flow. We gave him the difficult task of being prepared for 3 different locations with totally differing lighting (indoor/outdoor plus shooting from high sun into the night). He puts an immense amount of care into his work and the photos are truly art that we will cherish forever. If there are specific things you want covered, be sure to share a list. When it comes to capturing the moments that can't be planned, he is on the case!

I tell stories with warmth and honesty, drawn to natural connection and the small details that make each story personal. I believe love is love and all love is worth documenting. With over a decade of experience and 300+ weddings under my belt, my work is rooted in imagery that feels genuine and lasting. I got you! I keep things light hearted, true and grounded when things get chaotic.

Lilly Campbell Photo is the perfect choice for your photography. From our very first conversations years ago, Lilly's calming, reassuring, and joyful presence immediately put us at ease. She was incredibly patient in answering all of our questions and thoroughly walked us through every step of the process. She makes what can feel awkward so natural and easy. Lilly and her team seamlessly capture all the little moments-the candid, real, and warm interactions between us. Lilly's flexible, fun, and professional approach allows us to never worry about what we will end up with when we get our photos. We are always smitten with the beautiful, clean images that perfectly reflect the joy of our family and especially our daughter. We highly recommend Lilly Campbell Photo for anyone looking for an exceptional photography experience.

We cannot recommend Artur enough. He was our photographer for engagement photos as well as our wedding photos, and was able to memorialize the important event with more beauty than I could have dreamed. He was professional, kind and when I told him we had no idea how to take photos, he was our guide, kindly helping capture everything we wanted, and so much more. The quality and turn around time has been incredible. I feel so thankful!

Stephanie was an absolute dream to work with from start to finish. On our wedding day, she was calm, friendly, and on top of it. She and her second photographer struck the perfect balance of being professional and efficient while also feeling like casual friends, which made the entire experience feel natural and fun. My husband and I felt totally comfortable with her guidance and direction during photos, and she made the whole process so easy, even with unpredictable weather and changing light. She adapted quickly and found the perfect locations around our venue to make sure we got the best possible shots. We were so excited to receive sneak peeks shortly after the wedding, and the photos were absolutely stunning. The quality was flawless and just captured the beauty of our day. She also did our engagement session, and those remain some of our favorite photos ever (other than the wedding, of course). If you’re getting married in Virginia, I cannot recommend Stephanie Jenkins and her team enough. She captured our day perfectly, and we’re so grateful to have these memories to look back on forever.
