    Everything was absolutely amazing. J Castro Photography did a fantastic job photographing our wedding and I would recommend them to anyone. They even traveled over 3 hours for our special day!

    Jaymie and Chris were amazing!! They made the photo process so easy and relaxing which was really important to me since my husband and I don't love getting our photo taken! Very responsive through email and the website was super organized. During the reception, Jaymie put some of the photos on a laptop near the buffet line which guests enjoyed looking at while waiting to get their food. Two days after the wedding, a preview of 35 or so photos were already on Facebook. I can't wait for the album! I would HIGHLY recommend J Castro Photography!

    I cannot begin to thank J. Castro Photography for the service they provided for us! Jaymie and Chris impressed us from the start, and my fiance and I felt incredibly comfortable working with them. Recommended by a friend who had hired Jaymie and Chris for their wedding, we were incredibly impressed by their portfolios of work. We were even more excited about the photographs from both our engagement shoot and wedding- they are absolutely stunning. My husband and are are so thankful that we chose J. Castro Photography to work with and would highly recommend their services to all brides!

    Really awesome team to work with. Jaymie and Chris were amazing and went above and beyond to provide spectacular service and make the day seamless. Chris even donated his tie to the father of the groom when one of our ties was misplaced--talk about dedication! The pictures speak for themselves too--they came out great and documented our day beautifully. I would highly recommend working with them (and already have to some of my friends with upcoming weddings)!!

    We were so incredibly pleased with our entire experience with J Castro Photography. When we were looking for a photographer, we were searching for somebody that would put us at ease in front of the camera, offered affordable packages, and of course, took phenomenal pictures. Jaymie and Chris were SO easy to work with and made us laugh and feel at ease in front of the camera so that we never looked uncomfortably posed. We couldn't have dreamed of better pictures. Of all elements of our wedding planning, choosing the right photographer was just about the most important thing. I'm so happy with all of our pictures and will cherish our album forever! We even had a gloomy/extremely overcast day for our outdoor wedding (probably my biggest fear), but the guys pulled out all of their lighting tricks and I can honestly say that I'm happy our day was overcast because the pictures are THAT cool, moody and beautiful. I will and have recommended them to all my friends that are getting married in the area!

    I cannot say enough good things about J Castro Photography. Pictures mean the world to me and it was the most important thing to me on the day of my wedding and not only did they capture every single moment, the professionalism, excellent communication and fair pricing made this the absolute best option for my husband and me. The added bonus was that Jaymie has an amazing personality and made taking the pictures a really fun time. I look forward to using him again when little ones are on the way! Should they ever need a recommendation, I will be more than happy to continually give shining reviews for the excellent work.

    I cannot say enough about J Castro Photography, they are wonderful, professional, and fun people and they provide gorgeous pictures and memories that you will cherish for the rest of your life. Literally everyone that I have showed my engagement and wedding photographs to talk about how beautiful they are. The DJ at my wedding came over to tell me how amazing he thought the photographs were, and said that Jaymie was one of the best photographers he had ever seen in his long career. Jaymie and Chris were so much fun to be around; they make you feel completely comfortable right away. Finally, the value that you get with J Castro Photography, in my opinion, cannot be beat. In my long search for a wedding photographer I found other photographers who certainly had a lot of skill as well, but not only were they were WAY more expensive, but you also get more in your package with J Castro Photography. I could go on and on, I really could. The photographer for my wedding was one of the most important things to me because those pictures would be our memories and I am 120% happy with J Castro Photography. I would use them again in a heartbeat and I plan to in the future at other special moments in my life. Thank you, Jaymie and Chris, for giving me and my husband stunning memories to look back on forever.

    Jamie and crew are the best! They made us feel completely relaxed, had fun with us and gave us the wedding photos we could only dream of!

    If anyone is looking to have J. Castro do their wedding photography, we highly recommend them.

    For brides out there reading this post who will also be getting married at West Point (US Military Academy), the last thing we wanted was just a bunch of dull photos of us standing on the wall looking down the river. Jamie and the guys think outside of the box and gave us amazing shots that really take in the amazing sites around us, but are also fun and artistic. He also had a military discount ... !!! :-)

    Jaymie was very attentive, creative and one of the best decisions I made in having him and his team photograph my wedding. My husband and I, along with both of our families are so appreciative to Jaymie for the moments he captured. J Castro Photography comes very highly recommended, you will not be dissapointed.

    If you book J. Castro Photography for your wedding, you will not be sorry. He was professional and courteous, but most of all fun. Jaymie is so pleasant to work with, as well his assistant Izzac. He has a great eye for angles and his shots turn out beautiful. There were times that I completely forgot he was even there photographing us, he just blended in with the surroundings. He was so cool about getting whatever family shots we wanted and had great suggestions for poses, which we didn't do too often because his style is more to catch us in the moment of our day. I highly recommend J. Castro Photography to capture the most important events in your life.

    My husband and I had a wonderful time working with Jaymie and his wife Audrey at our wedding. Our pictures turned out better than we could have imagined and we had so much fun taking them. Jaymie and Audrey were extremeley personable and our wedding party and party guests loved havng them there to celebrate our big day. Most of the time we didn't even know our pictures were being taken which we loved. During the reception, they even put up a slideshow on their laptop for imeediate results!

    Jaymie and Audrey were amazing. He took wonderful photos and I didn't even feel like he was there. He elegantly captured our wedding, took great family photos as well as some artsy ones. I couldn't ask for a better photographer. My sister will be using him as well- Words can't describe how pleased I am with his work.

    Jaymie and his second photographer, Steve, were fantastic! They were relaxed and easy going, yet super professional on our big day. We felt very comfortable with them during our planned pictures, and as the day kicked off, we hardly noticed they were there capturing everything - which is exactly what we wanted. They managed to get all of our key moments AND surprised us with so many gorgeous candid and detail shots. We got some selects literally the day after the wedding (amazing!), and the digital gallery was made available to us just a month later. I love that they released all of the photos to us and not just selects; it was great to see everything they captured.
