When I originally contacted Jason, he called me back promptly and he was very professional and personable. He had scheduled himself to be on vacation that week, but he was so generous that he took time off from his vacation to shoot my engagement proposal. He went the extra mile - arrived early, stayed late and even help participate... in my proposal plans (I proposed at a local art gallery and he acted as if he were the gallery guide). He has a unique, creative style and was able to capture exactly what I wanted in my engagement proposal photos. Every single one of Jason's photos was incredible and there were over 200 of them! After the photo shoot, he got the photos to us with the quickest turn around time I have ever seen. The ordering process was a breeze and he provided the digital copies to us so that we could use them on our wedding website and Facebook. Jason really bent over backwards for us - whenever we needed something, he was there to provide. We like him so much that we going to have him come out to San Diego to shoot our wedding if he's available. I promise, if you go with Exposure Photography (www.exposurebyjtalley.com) you won't be disappointed! read more

We had family pictures taken by Jason last month and I seriously can't highly recommend him enough to people needing to find a photographer. Looking at his photos on his website proves that he is amazing at what he does but he is also very fun to work with and a really nice guy. The photo session was fun, easy and felt natural...even my 1 1/2 year old loved him (or did she love the blue raspberry sucker?) My only complaint about Exposure Photography is that I didn't know about him when we hired a photographer for our wedding and our daughter's newborn pictures. Regret!!! read more

I knew from our first phone call that he was The One... who should be taking all of our photos for our big day! :) Having loved photography since middle school, I was very particular about selecting one: although I budgeted the most for photo/video, I was still looking for a good value and above all, an experienced, talented photographer who works well with clients. And he fit the bill to a tee. He was the second photographer I talked to in my search, and I already had a list of questions. Not only did he answer all of my questions, he also filled me in on other things I didn't ask about and encouraged me to ask the same of other photographers. Our call lasted about an hour (although the time flew) and he was quick to send the necessary paperwork. He was also flexible with our schedule when it came time to set an appointment for our engagement photos as well as with our itinerary on the day of our wedding. He also had a colleague help out on our wedding day, and he was just as professional and easy to work with. Above all, he made the whole process very fun! My now-husband and I have always preferred being behind a camera rather than in front of one, but he put us at ease and made us look like pros! The photos looked very natural, and everyone we know were so surprised that we took photos that well, but of course, we had him to thank for making us look good. read more

Jason Talley and his assistant were wonderful to work with. They were patient, kind, fun, and lightened up the mood on the most special - and yet stressful - day of my life! His photos have a modern flair to them; as if every single photo he took belonged in a chic magazine. I wholeheartedly recommend Jason to anyone looking for a wonderful photographer! read more

Wedding planning can be a chore and anyone who is currently in the process of doing it right now probably can relate to it. But at the same time it's one of the most important moments of your life and you want to capture it permanently in a way that you can remember it forever and therefore choosing a great photographer is very very essential to the process. That's where Jason comes in. If you have visited Wedding Wire you already know that he is one of the highest rated photographers out there. He listens to your vision for engagement pictures, does not have a time limit, is very reasonable for the services that he provides, has a quick turn around with the pictures, great photography products. You really can't go wrong. His style according to me is very contemporary which my wife and I loved. If you like such pictures I would sign up for his services without hesitation. He publishes a blog with all his pictures from recent events where you can check them out and they are fantastic. We were extremely pleased with Exposure photography and assure you that you would be too. read more

My hubby-to-be didn't understand why I was so insistant on getting engagement photography done, but like any good husband-in-training he let me have my way :) Turns out, after our session with Jason Talley he was actually disappointed that we couldn't afford to bring Jason to our destination wedding later on this year! Our photos were worth every penny, I've used them on all our invitations and plastered them all over our website - and we've recieved compliment after compliment. Jason captured our personalities perfectly and I particularly like his work with lighting and depth in his images. He's great and super fun to work with, he made us goodballs look like we actually know how to take a photo! read more

See all

Jason is an actual artist and naturally has an eye for things, which makes him an even more talented photographer. He makes the whole process easy for you. Just submit a request on his website and he will email you to set up a time to talk. He does this so he can introduce himself, get to know you, and answer questions. Even if you've never done a photo session, don't worry, he will walk you through everything you need to know. On the actual photo shoot day, everything went just as he described. Jason was prompt in meeting at his downtown studio. We got settled quickly and he made things comfortable. Even brought portable speakers to play music while we walked around downtown looking for some good shots to take. After the session, he will edit the pictures and post to an online gallery where you can download high res pics or order prints. As you might have guessed, the pics were amazing. Highly recommend Jason for your photography needs! read more

There are NO WORDS that can express the feeling and gratitude I have for Jason. I don't know how my husband found him but, I give credit to where credit is due. He told me to look up www.exposurebyjtalley.com and give him my opinion. Jason's work is so stunning that it captivated my heart instantly. Of course first thought that came to mind was "I can't afford a high-quality photographer like this!" I agreed to meet with Jason simply because I wanted to meet the artist behind the lens. His professionalism was stellar but, it was his quiet modesty and humbleness that won me over. He spent over an hour just getting to know my husband and I. In my mind I was saying, "What does it matter how we met or what we have in common. How does this have anything to do with taking pictures at my wedding?" It was as though we were talking to an old friend though, catching up on lost time. I was scared to ask how much his talents would run me. Jason saw it in my eyes and asked me what my worries were. When I told him, he smiled and explained everything he could do for us on our budget. I was in happy shock. I feel that the deal he gave us should be classified under pro-bono work. I could have kissed him I was so happy and he smoothed every worry I had right that moment. Planning a wedding is no small task, nor can it be called easy. There were quite a few speed bumps and I was getting scared that funds would run out before we could pay the rest of the vendors. Jason assured me that no matter what was happening he would be there at my wedding and if it came down to the wire that was okay. Who does that now a days?! On wedding day, Jason was like family. I forgot he was the photographer taking my wedding pictures. My husband and I were having so much fun, when we did see the camera, we smiled. We smiled not for the camera but, for our trusted friend behind the lens. Jason's easy-going professionalism and his kind-hearted friendliness made my wedding as memorable and unforgettable as any high-society wedding... ...but mine was more FUN! I can't wait to work with Jason again. Yes, from this moment on I give him exclusive rights to my photography needs. Thank you Exposure Photography!! More importantly, THANK YOU JASON!! You so rock!! read more

Working with A photographer of Exposure Photography was a perfect experience. He showed up, took note of the light, did test shots, and picked the perfect spot for headshots of our big tennis crew. He also took action shots afterwards. He is very creative and made all of us look way better than we do in person!!!! Ive looked at the pictures mulitple times because they are so good! His professionalism and work ethic are outstanding and we will for sure use him again in the future. I recommend him for anyone looking for quality pictures with a fast turn around. read more

While I cannot speak to an experience being photographed by Jason, I can speak to an experience with him and his photography business which I believe showcases his character, and in turn customer service to all his customers. In late August my family learned that my brother in law would be returning home after a 6 month deployment overseas with the special forces. I contacted many local photographers to see if anyone was available to take complementary pictures of my brother in laws arrival home to see his wife after 6 months. Understandably, many who I contacted were unable to do a free, last minute photo shoot in the middle of the day at a crowded airport. Many ignored my email all together. Jason Talley, however, wrote me back immediately. Although he was unable to be there himself, he told me he would help me any way he could. He went online to a local Houston photography forum and posted the email I had sent him asking for help along with my contact information. Then he posted an offer to all professional photographers that he would give anyone who provided me with the complementary photography session with free time in his studio. With his help, my sister was able to have a wonderful photographer capture this special memory. Jason went above and beyond, helping make my idea a reality, and I support anyone with that kind of character. read more

Jason did a fantastic job capturing our engagement and wedding day photos. We received so many compliments on our engagement photos since we used them for our save the date card. He truly does have an amazing and unique eye for taking photos. We were very happy with his professionalism, attentiveness and honesty throughout our wedding planning. Thank you Jason! read more

If you don't want to read this long review, here is a summary: Jason is the best photographer and you should pick him; you won't regret it - 100% guaranteed! Our wedding was on May 17, 2015. I am OCD and I literally looked at every singly vendor's portfolio. I spent hours looking at hundreds of pictures taken by every single photographer. Jason was BY FAR the best photographer with the most impressive, amazing and breathtaking pictures. His pictures were very natural. He did not do a lot of tacky editing to the photos; instead he relied on his evident talent of creating his own lighting and setup and capturing the best photos. Also, he was the ONLY photographer who actually gave us access to his ENTIRE library of albums - hundreds and hundreds of photos for all his previous events (engagement sessions, weddings, photoshoots...etc). This really gave us the chance to know what to expect and the type, number of photos to expect for our wedding. You wanna know how our wedding photos turned up? AMAZING. STUNNING. IMPRESSIVE. GENUINE. A LOT! Jason basically gave tons of pictures, more than ANY photographer would ever give you. The photos were amazing. I am so picky and I LOVED them. We got so many complements on our photos and everyone raved about how just talented he is. On another note, Jason is a very honest, straightforward, genuine, generous, funny and just an amazing photographer and person. People told us it is important to pick a photographer you get along with. On your wedding day, the photographer can help you elevate stress or add more to it. Jason was just amazing. Everyone in our wedding, including us, really loved his character and his personality. He made everyone feel comfortable. He collaborated really well with the videographers. He was very very generous with his time and would spend as much time as it takes to provide an excellent service. Invest in your wedding photos, it is how this day's memory lives forever. Thank you a ton Jason!!!! read more

My wife and I hired Jason on as the photographer for our wedding this past October. Being very particular about photos in general, I was very picky when deciding on a photographer. I didn't want the run-of-the-mill photos that most people tend to get, especially for our wedding. When I came across Jason's website I was blown away by his artistic take on his photography. Basically, I fell in love with his work. Browsing through the site I didn't think we would be able to afford him, BUT.... His prices are INCREDIBLY reasonable. Much more affordable than other photographers in town! His final product of our wedding was AMAZING! I love our photos!!! Words can't express how happy I am... His photos truly represent us as a couple. And I must add as a final note- Jason is WONDERFUL to work with!!! It was like he was a guest at our wedding. read more

Loved my experience! He really took the time to get to know us and tailored our engagement session to our personalities and interests. Only wish I could give him more stars! Can't wait for him to do our wedding too! read more

Thank you! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! When my photographer cancelled on me today, I panicked...I saw your reviews on Yelp, and you were the first (and only) call I made. While you were outside my budget, because of your referral, I now have nine photographers interested in shooting my March wedding. You helped me tremendously and answered all of my questions. While I'm sorry we won't work together on my wedding, you will be my first referral for anyone who asks and I will definitely be contacting you about future personal & business events. Thanks again for your help! read more

Honestly the nicest guy to work with and my photos were unbelievable. He worked well with me and helped me through this whole process. I would recommend anybody to go to Jason Talley in a heartbeat! read more

Update: Unfortunately for us in Las Vegas he has relocated to Texas. Four years later I'm still getting requests for his info from my wedding guests. You don't need to look anywhere else. October 2011 I felt so lucky to find him when I did and we booked EARLY! I was close to signing a contract with one of his photographer friends coincidently but after one phone call with Jason I knew he was our guy! The other photographer understood why I would choose someone as talented as Jason and told me I was in great hands. He is amazing! We met for our engagement photoshoot and he brought an assistant and an army of equipment. I swear people must have thought we were something special walking around Lake Las Vegas that day..and he is so quick as setting up and breaking down you're off to the next location in no time. He likes to play with lights and is so creative at composition! Then came the WEDDING..he called to see if I needed anything at the venue..if I had forgotten anything..soooo sweet and thoughtful! Much more than our photographer to us now. No more Sears or Portrait People for our family pics. We have our photoghrapher for as long as he is still snapping photos. Oh yeah back to the wedding. He was amazing at working with the videographers and working it out so everyone got what they needed. He was great about getting where he needed to get for important photos and got in all sorts of crazy positions to get the perfect shots. My guests were complimenting how hard he was working the entire wedding. I have only seen one teaser pic so far..it is AMAZING, with a special blue light effect. I got to see quite a few on his camera during the wedding and I am so excited to share them with everyone. He is amazing! Did I say amazing enough?!! read more

Jason's work is consistently impressive and skillful. He is masterful with lighting and catches fleeting moments like no one I've ever seen. Absolutely worth the investment in your memories. read more

Just got my headshots done at Jason's studio for real estate. I feel like a lot of agent's photos are pretty cheesy and wanted something more natural. After talking on the phone with a couple other studios, I felt like they were the best fit. Recently received the photos back, and I absolutely love them. I'm not at all a fan of being photographed, but the photographer made me feel completely comfortable and the whole experience went smoothly. I'll definitely be recommending them to my friends. read more

Thank you Jason for your insight and professionalism on taking my first real estate photos. Now I won't have your typical boring agent pic! I was way out of my comfort zone but the master at work knew what poses and takes would come out best. read more

I can't speak highly enough about Jason. We were impressed with him since our very first contact( our engagement session) He was prompt, professional, and friendly. We felt really comfortable giving Jason the job of our wedding soon after our Engagement pics came back. They were the BOMB ,plus based on the work I seen on his website,his character, work ethic as well as his creative skills it was only the smart obvious move for us. Oh my gosh his skills are so GOOD. His pictures are the best I've seen, even compared to more expensive (over priced) photographers. He's just that kind of guy- someone who recognizes the importance of capturing your Big Day in the best way possible as much as you do, not someone whose just out to make a buck.Thanks so much Jason "Our Forever Photog" ~ Mrs. W BTW~ There isn't even enough stars on this review to justify how good Jason is!!!! Jason you are truly gifted just like my gift of beauty its undeniable ;} read more

Super duper pictures and he has an awesome friendly sweet personality

I had Jason do a business photo shoot for me because I wasn't happy with the in-house pictures I had previously done. The pictures turned out to be phenomenal and I use them exclusively in my professional bios, proposals, and even social media... anywhere I have a professional profile that gets seen. I'm very, very pleased with the results and now my wife wants to do her own session too. read more

Overall my husband, who is also named Jason haha, and I had a wonderful experience with Jason Talley.The first request to meet Jason Talley was responded to within hours and by the end of the day we were all set up to meet him and preview some of his work. My husband and I felt very relaxed meeting with him. Some of the photographers we had met spent their time trying to sell us on the books they would make in the end but Jason spent the time getting to know us and even took us out for some coffee. My husband and I, who are procrastinators by nature, knew as soon as we had left that we wanted to ask Talley if he was available for our date. We were delighted to find that he was available for our wedding and the rest you can say is history! We took engagement photos in the park where we weren't really sure what to do. Jason put on some music, told us to just enjoy, and even let us play around in the water. During my bridal portraits he didn't mind the HUGE crew I brought with me (my mom, aunt, sister). He again, cranked the tunes, and just let us try out many different shots. There is nothing more enjoyable than playing dress up in your wedding gown and taking pictures with your mom and sister. Prior to the wedding we had been in contact about a few things we wanted to do, like a first look and how we could spend less time on posed pictures and more time just enjoying the wedding. On the day of the wedding, we could not have asked for a more prepared guy! Before he met up with us he asked if there was anything we needed, mints, gum, etc and he picked it up and brought it along. He also brought an umbrella hahah because being in Houston during hurricane season is kind of a dangerous time when you are trying to keep your hair and makeup in tact. He truly captured some of the most beautiful pictures throughout the night. We hardly saw him because he was buzzing to and through all of the venue to make sure we didn't miss a thing! At the end of the night, when the hurricane had started coming down and we were heading out Jason stopped us with one last request, that we take another picture in the rain. What we could not have imagined in our minds Jason saw before he even clicked his camera and what turned out to be one of my favorite pictures, ever. If you are still reading, go to his site, contact him, and look forward to having the best time of your life knowing that Talley will take care of capturing it. read more

Jason and Mutley were the most amazing photographers ever!!!! When we met Jason for the first time we knew he would be our photographer even though he was our first photography appointment of the day. We so happen to have the same last name too!!! He is laid back (yet on top of EVERYTHING), honest, and made us feel so comfortable. We wanted a photographer that we could be ourselves around and he was it. Every photo that was taken of us was true emotion. No faking smiles or anything! His photography is truly a work of ART! We chose not to have a videographer at the wedding and from what Jason captured on our special day we didn't even need one. He was always prepared, early to everything, and took as many pictures as we wanted and as many as he wanted until we all felt we captured everything. Jason is truly flawless from start to finish. He took time editing our photos and although I was so anxious to seem them I knew they would be their best. When I saw our pictures I was soo ecstatic. They were perfect. Our pictures are absolutely incredible and breathtaking. I've received so many compliments about your photos when I share them. They say he is amazing, incredible, and one of the best photographers. Thank you for capturing the most amazing day of our lives so perfectly. Jason, I cannot thank you enough for the fabulous photos. read more

Without a doubt, one of the best choices we made in planning our wedding was hiring Jason! From the first conversation I had with him, I could tell Jason was an honest professional. He spent an hour talking to me on the phone going over what any bride should be looking for in a photographer and making sure I shopped around before settling on "the one". We did shop around and we're so glad he was "the one" to capture our special day. We had a great time shooting our photos, and Jason always knew how to make us feel so comfortable and relaxed. As a result, we've fallen in love with all our photos! Our family and friends kept raving about how outgoing and great our photographer was, and well we couldn't agree more. His work is top notch and is not out of this world expensive like other photographers we checked out. His colleague, Muttley, is equally as great and professional, and overall we couldn't be happier that both of them photographed our wedding. We HIGHLY recommend him to anyone looking for quality photos and a fun flexible photographer!!Thank you, Jason, for perfectly capturing one of the most important days in our lives! read more
