About

Hi!

I'm Jay of Jay Zhang Photography, I am a photojournalistic wedding photographer In the Capital Region of New York and ultimately, I'm a story teller.

As a Story Teller, I mainly focus on capturing moments that are real and transcendent, even during some portraiture times so that your photos reflect the authenticity of your story. There are details that you curated and put together for your day that get documented in its essence and environment. I aim to preserve the special moments of the day and make sure that I tell your story the way you have set things out to be.

All of my Wedding couples will get to enjoy the following:

  • Complimentary Engagement shoot
  • High-resolution images
  • Downloadable online Photo Gallery
  • Timeline Drafting and Consultation

I also sometimes work with a second photographer if they are needed depending on how your day will pan out, we usually try and anticiapte this during our first meeting and timeline consultation.

I cover many areas of the capital region and beyond including but not limited to the following:

• The Catskills region
• Albany, Schenectady, Troy
Western NY, Central NY,
• The Catskills
• Saratoga Springs

Infinite stars

We can’t recommend Jay enough. We’re not usually a very photogenic couple, but the pictures turned out so beautiful. He captured all the emotions and moments perfectly. He’s very knowledgeable, experienced, and passionate about his work. He responded very quickly to our emails. He was so easy to work with, and super flexible. (I don't know how many times we had to change plans, but he was so accommodating.) It was raining all week before our wedding day, and although we’re grateful it turned out to be sunny, we have no doubts Jay would have done everything he could to get those beautiful shots. Those teaser pics came out so beautiful, we couldn’t wait for the whole thing, so it was a great surprise that it came earlier than expected. 1000000000 stars.

Amazing & organized photographer

Jay was simply amazing to work with. I had no idea where to start on a timeline for my wedding day and Jay made it so easy– he mapped out our day for us perfectly. He was so easy to work with, great to communicate with, comforting and laid-back while remaining professional and organized. He was very knowledgeable and offered great advice for two awkward folks like me and my husband. All of my wedding guests LOVED him and said it was like they knew him all their lives, I couldn't agree more! Jay was respectful to everyone and just made everyone feel so great. My photos look so dreamy and I'm constantly getting compliments on them; he truly made me and my partner feel so beautiful and special. I highly recommend Jay to help make your wedding day even more special and memorable.

A literal dream

We knew from the first interview that Jay was our guy. We were planning a wedding for September 2024 and within one meeting he knew details like our “sunset time” for wedding day photo ops and had an entire itinerary drafted to help keep the day/photos organized.

Talk about flexible!! We had some personal circumstances arise and had very last minute decided to turn our scheduled engagement shoot into an elopement and Jay was so amazing and responsive.

Jay is a true artist. He was so dedicated in ensuring that the “vibe” we wanted was achieved- and while we’re not necessarily a shy couple, he knew just the direction to give to ensure we got the romantic photos every couple dreams about.

Jay is an absolute treasure. If you have the opportunity to allow him to turn your wedding day into a masterpiece, do it. Full speed ahead.
