P.J. provided exceptional service and communication. From initial contact, P.J. was responsive (which I appreciated because many others didn't even reply), professional, timely, friendly, and made us feel at ease. The booking process and planning was a breeze. There were a few questionnaires and a schedule to complete in the months/weeks leading up to our wedding, which allowed for a smooth wedding day, set with clear expectations. The day of, he was so patient and pivoted effortlessly when we veered off schedule a bit. When we first met P.J., we were both so nervous about being the center of attention and having to take photos in front of everyone. Fast forward to our wedding day and we felt like natural models! It was too fun, especially our couples photos. Not only did he make us feel comfortable, but our friends and family also raved about him. Booking a photographer for your wedding can be stressful, but rest assured P.J. will make it a memorable experience and be there for you every step of the way. He beautifully captured our special day from the big moment to candid shots. The quick turnaround and quality was also impressive! We couldn't have asked for more and look forward working with him again. Thank you!! -Michael and Angelica read more

After a lot of searching, it was such a pleasure to work with P.J. Not only does he have a great personality, he is a professional who will ensure that you (and your guests) have great photos and memories of your special day, without you even noticing. Whether you want candid shots or posed portraits, P.J. can deliver. I am not photogenic or good at posing but all of my pictures (and I!) came out beautifully. Book with confidence. You won't have any regrets. read more

From start to finish PJ goes the extra mile to make the process as SMOOTH and painless as possible. He also has an amazing eye and captures moment that feel like you're at a Hollywood wedding. Although we only had him working are small wedding he managed to stay hidden and capture amazing candids of us and our guests. There really wasn't anything about the experience that was lacking. Exceptional from A-Z!!! We ordered the large wedding album and it is the perfect way to be able to look back every year to see our special day. The layout and quality are the hands down best I have ever seen. I added a few pics of the wedding book to this review to showcase his skills. He's also lighting fast! From start to finish is only took 3 weeks to get our pics from our wedding and to get an album layout for approval. read more

I just want to say upfront that PJ is an amazing photographer! Our fourth son is about to graduate and unfortunately, we did not discover PJ until now. Just not easy to get teenage boys to smile and pose for a bunch of photos. But somehow, PJ was able to make it happen and make it a fun experience for my son at the same time. He is just very easy-going and has a way of making his subject comfortable. He told a lot of silly jokes while taking photos. He has a good eye for scenery and composition. He didn't just say smile to my son. He would tell him which way to turn his head, where to place his hands, how to position his feet. It made it so much easier to get wonderful photos. We were both really happy with the experience and are ecstatic with the photos. I would highly recommend PJ. Did I forget to mention that he was also incredibly reasonably priced for his services?

P.J. is an absolutely incredible photographer who is a master at capturing the natural beauty and joy of all of his subjects. He took my family's portraits for the first time ever and to say they came out amazing is an understatement. Not only is P.J. beyond professional in all of his interactions, but he makes everyone feel at ease in front of the camera. Frankly, he should be charging a lot more for his work, but I'm thankful he doesn't so that I can continue to book him. Thank you, P.J. for your talent and kindness! My family will cherish our photos for years to come! I would give you 10 stars if Yelp would let me read more

PJ is such an amazing and creative photographer! My fiancée and I hired PJ to do our engagement photos. Despite the rain and park closure, he was able to turn our photoshoot into such a fun experience. We were camera shy and PJ was able to make us feel comfortable and helped pose us. The photos came out beautifully! Would definitely recommend him for any of you shy couples out there looking for beautiful engagement photos. Thank you so much PJ! read more

I selected P.J. for my son's Senior Portraits (with some family photos as well) based on the reviews and photo examples I saw and I was NOT disappointed. He was an excellent communicator before, during and after the photoshoot. As a mom, I appreciated that was open to suggestions from me of what poses I wanted to see and he encouraged us to engage naturally with each other...hence the photos of my teenagers wrestling as they often do! His suggestions were great and I anticipate using him again for my daughter's Senior photos in a few more years! read more

PJ was fantastic for our family pictures. The day of the shoot was relaxed and went great- he took the time beforehand to scout the area we chose and found some great locations for photos. We received the edited photos less than a week later and there were many great photos included. I am really impressed by him and will be using him more for family photos and professional photos. Thank you, PJ! read more

P.J. is my new favorite photographer. He handled a conference for us that included over 100 attendees, multiple rooms, an outdoor event, etc. It is amazing how a photographer can be everywhere at once and also, blend in the background while taking amazing shots. Here is the kicker. P.J. was not feeling good. He only let me know. It didn't change anything, because there is no way his pictures can be more amazing. He didn't complain, he didn't try to sit down (other than when I absolutely made him), and not one person knew he was feeling under the weather. He worked with me before the event to determine the type of photos we wanted. He worked with us during the event to capture the really important photos and his turn around time (due to press releases) was nothing short of amazing. I wish I could share photos of his work but they belong to my job not me. I would give him 10 stars at any time. Thank you so much PJ for going above and beyond! read more

We absolutely loved working with PJ. We had a maternity session at Araceli Farms, Dixon, CA. Best part is that he made all process super easy and fun. From very first steps of communication he sent us all details about payment, times and amount of photos we will receive. We didn't have to ask him bunch of questions, because he already answered them all by having clear info upfront. We highly recommend PJ to everyone and especially to those who want to get things done well and fast. We are looking forward to other photoshoots with our baby in the future. read more

Professional and does a lovely job. Images were delivered in an easy to access format and quickly. I would hire PJ again. He does a wonderful job and communication is amazing. We hired PJ for my daughters senior pictures. He gave us a list of possible great locations and met us at the agreed upon time and location. I got a bit lost but he was polite and helpful in helping me get to the correct spot. He listened well to what we wanted to do and was very supportive as well as giving us ideas on where to go and how she should stand etc. every picture came out wonderful. Every time I emailed him he responded quickly and there were reminders as we got close to the appointment. He also considered the weather and made it very easy for us so that all we had to do was show up. If you are looking for a good photographer I recommend PJ. read more

We love PJ, and have loved getting to know him through our wedding planning process. We now consider him a friend! When we initially started interviewing photographers, my now-husband fell in love with PJ's personality and style almost instantly (I wish I could say that is how he fell in love with me....).PJ shoots with natural lighting so beautifully and upon speaking with him over the phone...we knew he was the right fit for us. We first met PJ in person when we did our engagement shoot in September 2019. He instantly made us feel comfortable and at ease. Our photos turned our natural and were beautifully captured. He seamlessly captured our go-with-the-flow and goofy natures, love of donuts, and love of our East Bay neighborhood. Flash forward a few months....and a worldwide pandemic hits. PJ has been such a grounding force during these last few months as we changed our wedding plans again and again. PJ has been nothing but patient and accommodating for us. We finally decided on a micro-wedding in a private residence. Not going to lie, I was nervous that our photos were going to look meh-meh since our "venue" wasn't fancy. When we got our photos back, I was awe-struck. PJ really worked his magic and made everything look like it came out of a fairytale. Post-ceremony, we arranged for a golden hour newlywed shoot. Let me tell you, PJ will do ANYTHING for the shot. We climbed hills, rocks, and got into bushes. PJ is dedicated to his craft. We can't wait for PJ to come back out to shoot our postponed reception and our future family photos. We feel pretty lucky that we found a photographer we truly love and can't wait to continue to work with. read more

PJ made us feel at ease from the very beginning, from the questionnaire that allowed us to communicate what we wanted (but maybe weren't sure how to verbalize), to the big day, when everything was taken care of by him and his assistant. They captured a great mix of posed and candid shots of us, our wedding party, guests, and the venue itself. There were many times throughout the evening where we totally forgot they were even there, all the while they were capturing the wonderful evening beautifully. Not only were the photos just what we had hoped for and more, but the digital versions were done in only 17 days! I've heard horror stories of couples waiting several months for their photos, so we were pleasantly surprised when ours were ready so quickly. read more

In my experience with planning our wedding, I have noticed that not all businesses will respond or follow through with their commitments. PJ is not that kind of individual. He was super responsive, organized, and committed to providing top notch service. He followed up, was so great with communication, and was dependable. His work is also AMAZING! He did our engagement and wedding photos and made the experience fun! Our wedding guests raved about his professionalism. He worked his butt off to get us the most amazing shots. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone for these reasons and more!!! read more

Pj is absolutely amazing and we feel so lucky to have had him for our big day! We started our journey with PJ in 2019 after our engagement in April of that year; I was fortunate enough to find him through a Facebook add where he was offering a free engagement session if we met with him to discuss our wedding. My husband and I were immediately comfortable and had a great meeting before scheduling our engagement session! Our engagement session was seriously amazing, PJ did such a fantastic job at making us comfortable even when it came to posing! When we got our photos back (in 4 days by the way which was so fast!!!) we were in love with them and knew we had to book PJ for our big day!! COVID threw us for a loop but PJ rolled with the punches and worked with us to reschedule to a new date! When our wedding day finally came - 11/19/21 - Pj and his second shoorter Christina showed up and did such an amazing job! We were running behind and I was definitely stressed but PJ and Christina made everything happened and consistently assured me we were doing okay on time!! They were such an amazing presence during our day and made the day better! We got our sneak peeks back and are so incredibly in love with them and excited to see everything when its finished. All in all we cannot recommend PJ enough to everyone!! Seriously amazing, if we had to do it again we would choose him over and over and we will definitely be using him for our future photography endeavors! read more

P.J. went above and beyond our expectations for a Large Family photo session in Sacramento! Not only was he able to wrangle together our extended family of 15, but he made the session fun for all. Most importantly, the photos were absolutely beautiful! We were lucky enough to capture the colorful fall leaves and his suggestion for the venue and time of day for the lighting was perfect. We were visiting from out of town but would use/recommend P.J. in a heartbeat. Highly highly recommend! read more

We had the most lovely and fun experience taking our engagement photos with P.J.! At first, my fiancée and I were nervous because we are both camera shy. P.J. made us feel relaxed and created a natural atmosphere for us to be ourselves during the photo shoot. The session flew by, and we were so happy to have met a professional who captures our best moments and angles. Even before the session, P.J. kept us updated on the schedule and recommended the location based on what we wanted. We couldn't have been happier with the whole experience! And most importantly, we not only received the photos super fast, but also the quality of the photos were absolutely breathtaking! Family and friends can't stop complimenting us on the photos!

Trust me, you'll love your wedding photos with P.J. P.J. Was very flexible not only with our time, but as well with the price. We had our wedding ceremony very late and after waiting for us, he was always in an amazing mood, ready and excited to start our newlyweds photo session. He actually started our photo session, unknowingly, from when we arrived until we left, creating a story line of our wedding ceremony. P.J.'s style is glamorous with bright colors and elegant black and whites. Looking at our photos, was like living those beautiful unic moments once again! read more

We are so thrilled and grateful that PJ was our then engagement photographer and now our wedding photographer last weekend! I purely booked around my favorite number and his availability. I can't express enough how we are not picture people at all. He helped craft a detailed schedule and his detailed questionnaire really dived into what we were looking/hoping for. I can't sing PJ's praises more. He is so responsive and professional and his photography is absolutely beautiful. The entire day, multiple people at the wedding kept complimenting his humor, professional demeanor and artistic nature. His wonderful baritone voice commanded a lot of people easily and he truly makes every single person feel comfortable and at ease. I was a nervous wreck until he showed up and I didn't stop laughing the rest of the day. He has an amazing memory, remembering things from our engagement shoot last year. His detailed nature is so impressive, he even could recall family members names from the schedule/survey to make them feel welcome! I will forever hope PJ can keep photographing different stages of our lives, we consider him a real artist and friend. Thank you so much PJ!! read more

There are a lot of talented photographers out there, and you can see from PJ's work that he's one of them. So let me tell you the non-photography reasons why PJ is the best: - Easy session set up: I submitted a request for quotes on Yelp, and PJ's response was timely, welcoming, transparent, friendly and efficient. I was able to book a time online, knew exactly what the price would be, and even got some helpful tips from his website about potential shoot locations. - Communication: Leading up to our session and after, PJ was incredibly responsive. - Fun, engaging session: PJ is a master at getting awkward people like me, or skeptical children to open up and capture fleeting moments. - Quick (and excellent!) service: We were pleasantly surprised to get our edited photos earlier than we expected. And no surprise here, the photos were great. PJ is a joy to work with, and we'd hire him again in a heartbeat for any photo session. read more

My husband and I met up PJ before covid to discuss engagement and wedding photos. We liked him and appreciate his help. His service fee was more reasonable than others especially ones with a budget. We did our engagement photos and love them! He made my husband a model! He hates the camera. As a covid bride, you can imagine all the different changes. I think I emailed PJ 5 different plans and he went with it. He helped so much to make sure my wedding would run as smoothly as possible. He was more than a photographer. He send us our wedding photos less than a week and half after our wedding. His work was phenomenal and beautiful. I was speechless. I am so glad we chose him as our photographer. I can't wait to have him as our photographer for our 1 year. read more

What can I say about P.J. and his wife Erica? My wife and I had the pleasure of having P.J. as a photographer for both our engagement and wedding sessions. We have little to no experience with photography or what to look for, making the search for a photographer stressful. I found P.J. through a friend and got the opportunity to chat with him through web cam. Immediately, I could tell that he was such an easy going, knowledgeable, and passionate person about photography. Even more so than the skills of a photographer are the vibe and good relationship you have with them, and P.J. and Erica make you feel completely at ease and build a trusting friendship with you. At our engagement photoshoot, my wife and I had no idea what to expect and felt pretty uncomfortable immediately, but P.J. always helped us feel comfortable and natural while taking pictures, letting us know what poses to make, never making us feel rushed, and prioritizing having a good, memorable time rather than simply the outcome of the photo itself. We could not have asked for a more enjoyable session. At our wedding we were blown away at P.J and Erica's professionalism and ability to navigate all our friends and family, including the children during the group photos. It is not easy to mobilize groups and keep everyone calm and happy, but P.J. and Erica's calm nature and positive attitudes helped everyone feel comfortable and an enjoyable atmosphere. We honestly could not have asked for a better photography team for our wedding. Not only did our photos come out amazing, but we developed a new friendship. If you are looking for great quality photos for whatever occasion, an easy going team that prioritizes your relationship and friendship, and great professionalism, then I would highly recommend P.J. and Erica. read more

Before the photo shoot, we were kind of nervous about posing and what not.

Where do we even begin. From our first initial meeting we knew PJ was the photographer for us! Great energy, super nice, and wonderful personality. PJ blended in so well at our wedding that we forgot he was our photographer. Everyone loved PJ and kept talking about how amazing he was. PJ captured every moment whether he was standing on chairs or right by our side he made sure EVERY MOMENT was captured. He didn't even complain about the 109 degree weather during the ceremony as he kept us laughing and engaged during the photos. PJ kept us on schedule and was never pushy or rude when we got behind. Very polite, patient and a great sense of humor. I would recommend PJ 100 millions times. He is brilliant at what he does, care about the couple and our photos turned out beautiful!! We thank you so much and look forward to working with you in the future. read more
