I find it hard to believe ... Nothing but five star reviews? Took 3 months for photos and no slide show. When we tried to inquire about that, thinking maybe there was a miss understanding, we got no response, nada nothing. The Husband and Wife entrance photo included a giant black trash can. No editing that we could tell. What took so long? Very disappointed read more

J is just incredible, and we haven't even gotten to the wedding yet! He has done two engagement sessions for us, and I couldn't be happier. He is very easy to work with, listens to everything we had to say as far as ideas for the shoots, has perfectly executed our vision, and is just all around a great guy! He even managed to wrangle our spunky, nervous, all around not so well behaved dog when she wasn't in the pictures with us! I already plan to hire J again in the future! read more

J. is an amazing photographer and a bride-to-be's best friend! We couldn't have asked for a better experience or photographer! He goes above and beyond to make the experience one you'll never forget. His personality and passion for photography made our engagement session more than we could have ever asked for. J. was there for us when we went through an unfortunate chain of events and turned them into no big deal. I knew from the moment I emailed him that I had found the perfect photographer for us, and I continue to hold my title of Always Right. (: read more

J and Hannah were amazing! I knew when my fiancé and J hit it off that he was our wedding photographer. Then I met Hannah at my bridal shoot and was so pumped for this dynamic duo to shoot our rehearsal dinner and wedding!! J shot my husband and his guys getting dressed and even had a friend come in to do shaves and man pampering. Hannah came into the bridal suite and kept me laughing when other vendors were pissing my bridesmaids off. From every detail to every photo taken I could tell they were as excited as we were that day. They even took us out for some sparkler photos where J literally ran around in circles trying to get the perfect shot. I can not wait to see all the photos and we will definitely use them for any other photo needs we may have in the future! Thank y'all thank y'all thank y'all!!! read more

We used J Bell as our wedding photographer and could not have been happier with the experience. If there was an option for a 6th star - I'd use it. The best part is that we got engagement photos, bridal photos, and wedding photography for one flat fee - no add on's or hidden costs. J and his wife Hannah were excellent every step of the way. Both were super friendly and accommodating. We felt at ease the whole time and actually had a good time. Not what you would expect posing for a ton of photos. They spent hours driving us around Austin for our engagement pictures. They were with us the entire wedding day - morning to midnight - taking photos. What's more...all of them have turned out awesome. read more

I highly recommending using J Bell Photography! J and Hannah are a husband and wife team that are fantastic photographers, not to mention super cool folks! It was extremely important to us to have people that make you feel at ease on the big day and don't make you feel awkward getting lovey dovey. J was constantly making us laugh without being super corny, and the pictures turned out to be absolutely amazing because of it. read more

It doesn't get any better than this folks. Top notch service, quality and an overall amazing experience. J and his wife make a great duo, they're both extremely passionate about what they do and it shows in all of their work. They go beyond the call of duty to make sure that you not only get amazing photos but also that you have an amazing time at your wedding. Our initial meeting with J lasted roughly an hour, J spent that time getting to know us as well as understanding exactly what we were looking for in our engagement and wedding photos. Don't worry though, if you're not sure what you want J is full of helpful suggestions. During our engagement photo's J spent hours with us in the 100+ degree heat (my wife insisted on engagement photos in August). During that time we never felt rushed or pressured, instead we found ourselves feeling very relaxed - the focus was definitely on us and on what we wanted. Having J and his wife on our wedding day was more like having a couple of long time friends around rather than just another wedding vendor. Their awesome personalities and extreme helpfulness put us at ease during an otherwise stressful occasion. Hannah (J's wife) even sewed a button back onto my wife's dress after it popped off and J was helping out where needed (for example he helped put material on the wedding arch to make sure it would be perfect for photos). These two are very experienced, the price is amazing considering everything that you get. All of J's responses to my wife's many emails were very thorough and thoughtfully written out. We could not have asked for a better photographer (if you couldn't tell by this long review). We highly recommend J. Bell's Photography service, 5 stars all the way! read more

LOOK NO FURTHER FOR A PHOTOGRAPHER! My husband and I got married in December, and booking J and Hannah for our wedding was hands down the best purchase we made for our entire wedding! Our original date was 12/10/22 (which we had already booked J Bell Photography for), but we actually did the opposite of everyone else and moved our wedding up to 12/12/20 due to COVID. My husband and I both attend veterinary school out of the country, but we were back in the states since we moved online because of the pandemic, so why not go for it?! We didn't decide to move our wedding up until the end of August, so we were extremely relieved to learn that the date we had in mind was J and Hannah's only free weekend of the month! From initially setting up the contract and asking questions to moving our date and everything in between, J's customer service is amazing. Every time I emailed him, I was always shocked at how quickly he responded. J not only cares about the photography aspect of your wedding, but he also cares about all the other moving pieces and is willing to help where he can. My husband and I were in California visiting his family in the few months leading up to our wedding, and we did not return to Texas until 8 days before. J was so understanding of this, and he worked around my school schedule to fit my bridals in just 4 days before our wedding. He selected the best photos from the shoot to edit and send to me the very next day so I could pick one to have on display at our reception. As for the actual photos, they are BREATHTAKING. We love them so much and we cannot even begin to put into words how amazing they are. J and Hannah perfectly captured all the moments of our special day, and we are so grateful for them! Best photographers ever! read more

J and Hannah are so awesome! I got lucky with them. Not only was their price in my budget, but they included a photo booth (which was a huge hit,) and the pictures look AMAZING! They went above and beyond what we asked for on our shot list, and came up with some creative shots that are very Pinterest worthy, if you will. They were fun to work with and even sacrificed shooting in the rain to get some epic and memorable photos. Hannah also helped with me with little day of emergencies, like getting lipstick on my dress before the ceremony. J knows what he is doing esthetically, creatively, and professionally, which is exactly what we needed. Even though I haven't gotten all of the photos back, I already know each one will be beautiful. They deserve 10 stars for their work! read more

J and Hannah are the best in the game!! They handled our big fat Indian wedding with ease and made us so so comfortable! J also drove all the way to Houston and took our engagement pics which we loved. Altogether, j and Hannah were more than just our photographers and I recommend them to anyone who needs to capture their special life events! read more

I can't say enough good things about J. I fell in love instantly with him! He made us feel so comfortable and put up with all my questions, emails, and props so sweetly. He gave me the best gift in the world by capturing timeless, classic photos of my daughter and her personality. He let her be herself and managed to get photos that bring tears to my eyes. I love that he's a family man and you can hear his love for his family when he speaks about them. I can not wait to work with him again. He made us feel like we had the most beautiful baby in the world. Just like every parent should feel! Like I said I could go on and on! Anyone would be lucky to have his photos! read more

J.Bell shot our wedding in July 2016. He comes highly recommended. He is a true professional and he knows how to run a business. After having worked with all the typical wedding vendors over the past year like the venue, dress, cake, flowers....no one's customer service stood close to J.Bell. He's nice, punctual and he knows weddings. What stood out most to my wife and I is how quick he was to respond to emails, phone calls, etc. He doesn't leave you hanging for days. He truly cares. He wanted to meet us at our venue which was in Dripping Springs a few weeks before the wedding. We walked around the site, looking for potential shooting locations and he took notes on every detail. We finished about 5pm and he actually stayed afterwards by himself to watch the sun go down and find where the best light was. He truly loves his job and it shows in his work. The photo booth was absolutely amazing! Never have I seen so many people at a wedding photo booth. You will receive your images in a timely manner as well. Can't say enough great things about J.Bell and his wife--maybe they'll still be around for our kids wedding. read more

J and Hannah make a great team and were wonderful to work with! My husband and I really wanted to have our engagement pictures done in College Station and J was more than happy to travel there for us. He did an amazing job with capturing the beauty of A&M's campus to create the most perfect background for our photos! On the day of, J and Hannah were amazing! They moved throughout the venue capturing all of the details of the reception hall as well as were in the suites with us to make sure to get pictures of us getting ready. Their attention to detail was stunning! I am a very type A person and they graciously followed my plans as well as helped me relax and be flexible with the schedule. Hannah was wonderful with calming my nerves leading up to walking down the aisle! They captured so many beautiful ceremony pictures and a lot of fun candid moments from the reception and the photo booth was a hit! I am so in love with my sneak peek and I cannot wait to get the rest!! read more
