“We can't say enough wonderful things about our experience with SMJ Photography! From our very first conversation with Scott, the owner and lead photographer, we knew we were in great hands. Scott took the time to really get to know us as a couple — what we envisioned for our wedding photos, what styles we were drawn to, and even what parts of the day were most important to us. His passion for photography and genuine care for his clients were clear from the start.
On our wedding day, Scott and Dan, our second photographer, went above and beyond in every way. They didn’t just show up and take pictures, they anticipated every moment, caught things we didn’t even see happening, and came up with inventive and creative shot ideas that truly captured the spirit of our day. It honestly felt like they could read our minds! Their ability to blend posed portraits with authentic, candid moments was exactly what we were hoping for, and the results were nothing short of breathtaking.
Beyond just being incredible photographers, Scott and Dan were a joy to have around. They made us, our family, and our friends feel comfortable, relaxed, and excited throughout the day. Their energy was contagious, and their attention to every little detail made a huge difference.
What really made the experience even more special was the reveal party Scott hosted for us after the wedding. We were invited to his studio, where he had a beautiful setup ready — not just to go through a ton of stunning photos, but to make a true event out of it. We spent the afternoon reliving the memories, laughing, (crying a little!), creating our wedding album, and even enjoying some delicious lunch and snacks he thoughtfully provided. It was such a personal, memorable touch that made us feel like more than just clients, we truly felt like part of the SMJ family.
Scott’s artistic eye, professionalism, creativity, and commitment to giving his couples an unforgettable experience are unmatched. Choosing SMJ Photography was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and we are forever grateful to have such incredible memories captured so beautifully. We would wholeheartedly recommend SMJ Photography to anyone looking for a photographer who not only delivers gorgeous images but makes the entire experience fun, thoughtful, and truly one-of-a-kind.
