    Beautiful Wedding Photos!

    We had such a great experience with JZ Studio Photography from start to finish!! Philip was very communicative about packages and worked with us on pricing throughout to help stay in budget, which was so amazingly kind, especially when there are so many photographers charging way too much for wedding photos these days! Philip and his son Zack are the two main photographers, and they worked together to do our included engagement session, which was a great way to get to know them both. It was only supposed to be 30 minutes, but it ended up being an hour, as they were trying a variety of creative and fun shots with us! They truly cared and took their time to give us great photos! Zack was the lead photographer on the wedding day, along with Paolo, who was our second shooter. They both took great photos of every aspect of the day, and Zack helped keep us on track with our timeline, as we had limited time for photos between ceremony and reception all at one venue. They were very detailed in providing a timeline for the whole day ahead of time, as well, in order to help us coordinate our hair and make-up services. They come up with so many creative shots and are great at making photos look more natural and less staged! We got our photos about 6 weeks after the wedding, which I felt was pretty quick! They provide a great link to the gallery to share with anyone you want and categorize the photos into the different aspects of the day, so it is very easy to find any specific ones you are looking for. They even offer to further edit any photos you would like them to if there is something specific you want done. If you are looking for a reliable, kind, talented, creative team of photographers with fair and honest pricing, JZ Studio is truly the best!!

    Exceptional and excellent

    Mr Phillip was excellent to work with -- easy and proactive in communication, prompt, and great team on the day of the event for both photos and videos. I would highly recommend JZ photography.

    Such a great experience

    I would highly recommend working with JZ Studios! From the start, they were honest and accommodating about their services and it didnt feel like a forced sale. There was constant communication to ensure we were on the same page and had plenty of information. And when it comes to the photos, WOW! My husband and I really did not know how to pose or what we wanted, but they came prepared with inspiration and guidance. We had an engagement shoot first and we saw how easy it all was for Philip, so we had one less thing to stress about for the wedding. And the photos were INCREDIBLE! They really captured it all! We are so happy to have used JZ Studios!

    Great Team!

    Philip & his team (including the videographers) did a phenomenal job on our special day! Everything was captured perfectly and Philip & team were amazing! I would recommend hiring a day-of-coordinator to keep your timeline on track so JZ Studio can focus on the creativity and image for your day! I would hire them again!

    Loved working with Philip

    We HIGHLY recommend JZ photography! Philip & Zach are a highly professional and caring duo. Philip was responsive and helpful throughout the whole process. We enjoyed getting to do our engagement photos with them before the big day, which helped us feel more comfortable in front of a camera. There work was timely and amazing! Thank you so much for going above and beyond to make the wedding process so easy and for capturing so many special moments of our big day!
