A++++ 1000 stars! I cannot recommend Elyana enough! I wanted dreamy photos that were candid-esque…read moreso I got really excited when I came across her website. I honestly had no idea what to expect when working with a professional photographer but her service was exceptional. She's super friendly, easy-going, efficient, and communicative. Everything went unbelievably smoothly. We had Elyana for 2 hours during our elopement and she made it so fun and easy to be in front of a camera. She provided a lot of much-needed direction and our session went by so quickly and smoothly. She even helped grab my veil when I forgot it in my suite! I'm not photogenic so I was nervous about looking like a total derp after many wonderful vendors had put so much work into my hair, makeup, dress, and florals... But her artistic sense and prompting really made for some amazing pictures. She works fast! Sneak peeks and full gallery were received well before their promise dates. Granted, it probably helped that we only had a 2 hour elopement session, but the speedy turnaround time is super appreciated nonetheless. The one struggle I have from working with her is trying to pick which beautiful images will be displayed in our home. Thank you so much for these photos that we will cherish forever!

THE ABSOLUTE BEST PHOTOGRAPHER…read more Elyana is a highly skilled and kind photographer. My husband and I used her for both our wedding on 10/04/24 and our engagement session earlier this year. She was so sweet throughout the entire process and makes you feel special and comfortable during the sessions. The photos she captured on the day of our wedding are timeless. She really takes the time to get to know her clients and makes sure your goals for pictures are discussed before during meetings. I would 10/10 recommend her for any wedding or engagement sessions.

From our engagement session to the wedding day itself, she has been absolutely amazing. On the wedding day, she went above and beyond anything we expected. She was incredibly attentive and was always right by my side to capture special moments. Multiple family members even commented on how present and on-top of everything she was. She helped bustle my dress, brought me water, and if I ever needed to find someone, she would immediately go and grab them for me. It truly felt like having both a photographer and an extra support person on such an important day. For both our engagement session and wedding day, she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, which made a huge difference for us. Her calm, kind, and reassuring presence helped us relax and enjoy every moment. We are so grateful for her care, professionalism, and genuine dedication, and we cannot wait to see our photos. I would recommend her wholeheartedly to any couple looking for someone who truly cares and goes above and beyond.

We found Jasmyn through our wedding venue and are so glad we did! She was everything we could have…read moreasked for in a wedding photographer. We wanted someone who was easy to work with and get along with and who captured both the formal and informal moments. We loved that her style is light and airy, and the photos turned out so beautifully. Before our engagement shoot, we had never had professional photos taken, and Jasmyn made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process. On the wedding day, we felt so at ease working with her. She told us exactly how to pose to make sure we looked our best, and we appreciated that she was open to all of our requests. Part of our venue where we wanted to take photos was under construction, and you would never even know it based on the photos that she took. She was extremely professional, and the turnaround time for our photos was way faster than I expected. I would absolutely book Jasmyn again for other photo shoots!

If you are reading this right now, you should go ahead and book Carmen already for your big day! ;)…read moreYou absolutely won't regret it!! My husband and I knew we wanted to book Carmen early on in our wedding planning process - in fact, she was the first vendor we booked. After we picked a venue, we worked with Carmen's schedule since we knew 1000% that we wanted to have her document our big day. From the beginning Carmen was super friendly and communicative with quick responses throughout the week (usually on weekends she is likely at a wedding). She was also very organized and had questionnaires to help us get to know each other better on a more personal level so we wouldn't feel like strangers on the big day. We went with one of her packages which included an engagement session (which was super fun and matched what we were envisioning - a "naturey" theme with mountains/hills in the background), a second shooter (who was super amazing!), an heirloom album (which we are currently working with her on), and more! The engagement session was extremely helpful for us because we were slightly nervous before the shoot, but the more time we spent with her, the more relaxed and at ease we felt (which is saying a lot because my husband and I are both introverts). We liked that Carmen could help us naturally pose and that her editing style was not too overly edited but allowed the natural beauty in each shot to shine. We also really appreciated Carmen's flexibility - my husband and I are both healthcare workers who have varying schedules and sometimes work weekends, but she was able to still plan our engagement session and our Zoom calls around our busy schedules. After the big day, when we look back on our wedding day, one thing that really stood out was how many of our guests were amazed with Carmen and her second shooter; the small details Carmen noticed made a lasting impression on a lot of our family members such as when Carmen and her second shooter would hold onto our guests' purses or sunglasses and make sure everyone looked essentially before taking photos. My mother-in-law couldn't stop raving about Carmen and how attentive she was to each guest. We also enjoyed all the photos of the wedding venue, each of our guests, and small moments and details that my husband and I might not have noticed since we were all over the place on the day of our wedding. At the end of the day, while all the food and drinks have been consumed, the music has been played, and the decorations and flowers have been set up and taken down, the only thing we have to reminisce on is the photography and documentation of our special day, and that's why we trusted Carmen to be our wedding photographer and would recommend her a thousand percent to all our friends and family. We are looking forward to creating the photo album with her so that we have something physical to always remind us of our special day!

They take the time to understand who you are as a couple and the story you want to tell and really how you'll look back on your wedding day for years to come. Carmelisse was that and more for us. From the moment we saw her photos from mutuals' weddings we knew we wanted her to shoot our wedding. In our first meeting, it felt like talking to a long-time friend and it was an easy decision for us to put all our trust in her and her team. She was the first person we hired after our wedding planner. We actually contacted her the month after we got engaged in 2021 but her 2023 book wasn't open yet. After conversing via text and email for months, we met her for the first time during our engagement shoot and she captured us and our dogs perfectly (YES, she capture our anxiety-ridden GSD mixes with smiles and they stood still, and the doggos absolutely fell in love with her husband, THANKS REX!!) She helped us pick the area and with putting together comfortable poses. Her turnaround time was so reasonable, the photos are just plain awesome. I have a hard time putting into words how great they are but I literally tear up with happiness every time I look through my album (which I still do ALOT). For the wedding day, Carmelisse and John kept us hyped and on schedule. A lot of things happen on the wedding day and Carmelisse was already ready to help us adjust and adapt. She captured all of our memories so beautifully. I can't stop singing her praises for her work and her as a person. She truly cares and it is seen through her work and her actions on the wedding day. AND Carmelisse is so stinking great - I went through a health scare the morning of my engagement shoot, I was trying to power through because I was afraid of canceling late but all Carmelisse cared about was that I was ok and she immediately rescheduled without additional thought. Carmelisse will be our forever photographer and we want her to shoot all of our future milestones. After our wedding, so many of our friends and family have already added her on Instagram for the future when she can shoot their wedding or life event.

She was such a welcome energy on our wedding day--our guests still talk about how sweet she is! Fatima's photography style is stunning, from digital to film to polaroids.

Leading up to the day, we were both nervous about how everything would go and worried it might feel awkward. However, Fatima instantly put us at ease, making the session feel like we were simply hanging out with a friend. Neither of us is particularly comfortable in front of the camera, but she guided us effortlessly, giving just the right amount of direction while still capturing the natural, quiet moments we had hoped for in her journalistic style of photography. Not only is Fatima incredibly talented, but her kind and sweet demeanor made the entire experience even more special. When we had an issue with our credit card, she even offered to pay for our marriage license - talk about going above and beyond lol! We feel so fortunate to have worked with her to document such an important day and will cherish the photos she took forever. Could not recommend Fatima enough for your photography needs!

I discovered Jay and his fantastic work on the internet while googling destination weddings. I…read morethought to myself, I wonder if anyone has ever been married in Antelope Canyon? I googled it and Jay's photos came up and I was immediately blown away. I thought, this is really cool BUT certainly there is no way I can afford to do something like this. I sent Jay an email asking for prices to different locations, expecting to not here back and if he reply, that it would be way out of my price range. To my surprise, Jay resounded back within a few hours. Even more surprising, it was right on the edge of my budget! I thought, Wow...what a great surprise this will be for my fiancé, she is going to love this! I wasted no time. I locked in the dates and location with Jay by putting down the deposit and then surprised my fiancé with the plan. To put it mildly, she was blown away when I told her, but she really didn't have an idea how cool it was until I showed her Jay's pics and explained our plans to fly into Arizona and pretend to be models. She cried. For the next few months it's all we talked about. (Honestly, we took the pics in late August and it's now late February and we still talk about it. It's that cool.) From the moment I told her, we both were extremely excited but also very nervous since neither of us are models or have any experience modeling. We are just your average couple. We wondered, will we look good? Will we look bad? All things that crossed our minds and more! Despite those concerns, we knew we wanted pictures of us in a beautiful but iconic location that would capture our special moment...our recent engagement! Fast forward to August 27, 2018, we flew into Phoenix, Arizona, where we rented our car then drove to Page, Arizona. We rented the dresses for my fiancé from Jay/Annie as we loved their options and I just rented my tux in Austin, Texas and traveled with it to Arizona. No issues! We stayed in a hotel next to where Jay and Annie were staying. We met up with them the next day and enjoyed talking to them about traveling and photography. Jay told us the plan for the photo shoot on the next day and after some conversation, we left to go enjoy the rest of our day and prepare for the shoot. QuickTip: Get lots of sleep! You will be shooting all day til dark. It's fun and worth it! The morning of the shoot went great, Annie did my fiancé's hair and make up, which was very nice and helpful! This is included. Annie is wonderful. Once ready, we hopped into their rental car and headed over to the tour agency. We joined the pre paid tour for Antelope Canyon, (you pay in advance through Jay) once we got to the location, we just followed Jay and Annie's instructions on what to do and when to do it. Pretty easy! Jay is very experienced at the locations we shot at and is very quick and methodical, as is Annie who will work with the dress and lighting as well as touch up the hair and makeup. I was amazed how good Jay is with his cameras and his ability to get you into the right poses for great images. Just trust him! During the shoot, we went to three locations, one of which I wasn't quite sure of...it was very windy, her hair and dress were blowing everywhere and I remember we both thought, this location is a complete bust and these photos are not going to be good. I told myself, over and over...."just trust Jay, certainly he knows what he's doing". But honestly, I was just expecting to choose all the photos from the two other locations. lol Wrong! When we got the first images back for the first review, I was blown away by how good the images at the 3rd location came out! Absolutely stunned! While the first two locations obviously had the beauty of Antelope Canyon and the beauty from Horseshoe Bend, the third location didn't have any of the iconic back drops, the scenery was still beautiful but it focused more on us and our chemistry. Which at the time, I didn't get. After seeing the photos, I got it and now these photos are some of my favorite. Like I said, trust Jay. It was awesome to have a mixture of posed images but also impromptu images that show us laughing and our personalities. Thank you Jay...you were right! You and Annie are a great team and are both great at what you do. For those considering Pre-wedding photos, go for it! Choose Jay Studios. You won't regret it! Make the investment in yourselves, once you are older you will have captured a great moment/time in your life that you will cherish forever. We are so happy to have found Jay Studio and to have had this experience. Like I mentioned earlier, during the photo shoot whatever happens....just trust Jay, he is a professional and he know's what he is doing. Good luck with your photos! Jeff & Gwen
