Caveat emptor...buyer beware…read more We really have no idea how these guys get the ratings they do. We are crushed by the disappointment in their service. We not only cannot recommend JPG, we would strongly caution against using them. In spite of planning together with the photographer and being clear about our intentions not to photograph the prep, we had to wait for them to set up after we were long ready. The 14 weeks from event to actual pictures were astonishing. Even more so after getting them and seeing just how little thought and effort went into their editing and "organization". Also - be prepared to be referred to your contract repeatedly. They will hold it up anytime you ask for something.

Choosing a photographer for a wedding is a big decision because your photos will be long-lasting…read moremementos of the day, and also because there are a lot of variables (style, quality, personality, price, etc.). We loved the photos we saw on JPG's website and their commitment to customers was clear from our very first conversation with Joe. We worked together to come up with a price/package that met our needs and chose Matt Bender as our primary photographer. Our engagement session gave us a chance to get to know Matt and for him to know us. When the big day came, we felt very comfortable with him and he (along with 2 other photographers) did a great job managing our family and bridal party for group shots. Many guests commented that our photographers were awesome throughout the evening. This skill should not be overlooked when you are evaluating a wedding photographer! In the end, we were thrilled with the quality and variety of pictures. The photo journalistic style captured the true essence of the day and there were a lot of really fun shots. To top it off, all of JPG's wedding packages include a DVD or thumb drive of high-res images with personal use rights - which means you have full flexibility when it comes to albums and prints. Bottom line: JPG brought the style, quality, and personality we were looking for at a competitive price. They were easy to work with from start to finish and we could not have been happier with the results.

I used J&J Studies for a 3-day event. I contacted them after a Google search and received a quote…read morevery quickly. They worked with me to finalize the details and the final quote was in line with what I was looking for and very competitive. What impressed me the most was the professionalism of the studio across the board - working with the owner on the timeline, working with the photographers each day, and the speed of the final deliverables. The studio even made some adjustments on a group photo to remove some items and enhance it. Prior to the start, the owner created a very detailed timeline of the event for each photographer and a group text to keep everyone informed of any changes or to handle any issues. The photographers themselves were great! They were not obtrusive, quick to respond and did a great job capturing the spirit of the event across the 3 days. To summarize, what impressed me was: - Timeliness on quoting and response rate - Excellence of staff - Coordination of staff - Punctuality and professionalism - Quality of the final product Please consider them for your next event.

I was recently asked to provide a review for J & J Studios, nearly five years after working with…read morethem. I had avoided doing so because I understand how hard it can be for small businesses, especially in the wedding industry, and I do not leave negative reviews lightly. That said, the request brought the experience back, and I feel it is worth sharing for other couples. We originally booked J & J Studios during lockdown in 2020 for our April 2022 wedding. In January 2022, after I received a serious medical diagnosis, my husband and I had to postpone our wedding to October. Our venue and every other vendor worked with us, requested reasonable documentation, and did not require additional payment. J & J handled things differently. We were told we would need to pay a new deposit to hold the new date, plus an additional fee because they were unlikely to rebook our original date. We were told that if they did book it, the extra cost would be refunded. With significant medical bills at the time, that added cost was not feasible. For context, about two months after we postponed, I had a friend inquire about our original April date, and she was told it was booked. I wish the experience had been different. We were willing to meet them in the middle as far as the additional payment given the circumstances but they felt they could not at the time. I understand that businesses have policies, but during an already difficult and emotional time, we were left feeling unsupported.

Jen Capone is a true photographer. She has a great eye for detail and "interestingness" (as Flickr…read morecalls it) but knows how step back for the traditional shot when needed. Her photos capture the essence of an event so that when you look back at the pictures, you remember the event as it happened. I can't say that about many portrait and traditional style photographers that we looked at during our selection process. Jen even had pictures from our wedding end up in The Knot magazine! Nicest photographer you will meet, which is a total asset when wedding stress comes into play. So good that my brother-in-law also used her wedding photography services as well. Would definitely recommend!

I have had the privilege of knowing Mimi since 1995 when she photographed my portrait for Business Philadelphia's 100 People to Watch issue. This was indeed a pleasure as I had been a reader of the magazine for years, and saw all the wonderful covers that she provided. Fast forward to present day, and I am the creator and one of the executive producers of an upcoming new television series that will bring on a weekly basis the greatest minds in our world together to discuss a specific topic each episode. But it is more than that; it will have an accompanying magazine, local events from coast to coast and an annual summit. When the question came up as to who should photograph all this, there could be but one answer, Mimi and Phil. I got to see them in action when we did a test shot to capture portraits of the chef and sommelier for the series. Mimi and Phil and Phil and Mimi were forces of nature, weaving in and out interchangeably making the shoot feel like a party, while capturing the emotions that we wanted. If I was blown away by what they did for Santa Claus that was nothing compared to the magic we watched them create. They are not only creative geniuses, and I do not use that word lightly, but the ultimate in professional. It is with great pride and admiration that we decided to work with them on our project and with that same sense of integrity and loyalty that I recommend them to you. Robert L.

Jamie was such a wonderful photographer for our wedding! I write this as we just completed 1 year…read moreof marriage and our anniversary made me so nostalgic for our wedding, which was made amazing by all of our wonderful vendors. Better late than never to showcase the amazing service by this company. I was a little late to the wedding vendor game and was so relieved that Tyler Boye had available photographers for my date. I decided to go with Jamie because of her super high quality pictures and the flattering, non-cheesy shots she took. She and I had a few phone calls before the wedding to hash out the timeline of wedding photos and the style of photography that I wanted. I wanted to try out smoke bombs to make an ethereal, hazy effect in the park where we got married. She was more than willing to try this. I think it was the first time she'd shot with smoke bomb haze and she NAILED it (photos included). I wish I could literally upload the entire album of pictures but she did such a great job shooting a diversity of environments and many different angles that were so flattering. And I make a lot of weird faces so that's saying a lot! All in all the company was super easy to work with, reasonably priced for a wedding photography service, and they shot for basically the entire day (about 9am-9pm). We got our sneak peak a couple days after the wedding, and the full album came about 7 weeks later. So glad I went with this company for my wedding. True to form. I'm super late in ordering a wedding album/prints but their easy to use album website makes it a cinch for me to go back and download pictures/order prints!

I would pick Tyler Boye and his team over and over again!! Can't wait to have another event that we can book Tyler Boye Photography!

Our wedding date was scheduled one week before the pandemic occurred, when the city shut down... it was scheduled for March 21, 2020. We were crushed that we had to postpone, but knew it was no one's fault. Because we could not foresee the city shutdown, we paid Deibert the full amount a few days prior, in addition to our deposit. Every other vendor we worked with gave us our payment back (minus the deposit)... because it was the decent thing to do. Every vendor except for Deibert. They kept all of our payment, were unavailable to schedule us in 2022 since they were too busy, and wanted to charge us more money for our wedding shoot. In the end, we gave them thousands of dollars, received no photography services, and they had the audacity to feel entitled to keep all of our payments for no services rendered. And in the meantime, they opened a larger studio during the pandemic... wonder how many others they took advantage of during a hard time. I thought they were decent people during our first encounter, however they proved to us that they were capable of one of the most unethical and lowest business practices I have had the displeasure of witnessing. If you are hoping to work with honest folks, I would recommend looking elsewhere.

We absolutely loved working with them from start to finish and cannot recommend them highly enough. From the very beginning, they took the time to get to know us on a personal level and made to align on what we wanted for our photos, setting up an in-person meeting and multiple check-ins prior to the day. One the day, they were the perfect mix of take charge and creative. For example, when my big extended family all needed to have pictures taken, they got through the list efficiently, managed all of the requests, and kept us on schedule. They also came up with fun, creative, and unique ideas for picture that turned out amazingly - our venue even has one of their photos hanging up. They captured the candids and special moments, but made sure we had the right amount of posed photos on top of that too. They knew exactly what to do! They are also just really enjoyable and easy to be around and work very well as a team, which made it seem like they managed to be everywhere taking pictures at once.
