    The best photographer we could have asked for

    We had such an amazing experience with Joe from JTate Design for our wedding! He was so kind and easy to work with from the beginning. he was so helpful in creating our timeline in order to get the photos that we wanted, but also had fantastic ideas for photos that we never would've thought of. We tend to feel a little awkward getting our pictures taken, but Joe made us feel so comfortable and at ease we end up having so much fun with it. He struck a wonderful balance of making sure that we took advantage of great photo opportunities, but didn't keep us from enjoying our wedding and what was happening around us. He and our videographer worked so well together, and we could tell that they were capturing the day, but never felt like they were in the way. He even so kindly gave my brother (an amateur photographer) some tips so he was able to capture some shots of us as well. We could not have been happier with our experience! Absolutely would recommend hiring Joe from JTate Design for your wedding!!

    Thank you Hannah! It was wonderful being able to capture your amazing wedding - I am wishing you two the best!

    J Tate is definitely the right choice!

    Where to begin with Joseph? First we scheduled our engagement photos with him. I NEVER in a million years thought I could be so confident and to have the pictures turn out so beautiful. Joseph is so sweet in his guidance and vision. Following up to the wedding Joseph gave constant communication, answering any questions along the way. Day of the wedding. It was a bigger wedding so chaos had ensued! But Joseph was beyond kind, caring, and punctual. Joseph was not only with us all day but went to two locations and multiple shoots all before the ceremony, capturing some beautiful memories. My bridesmaids and moms even had a hard time lacing the corset on the dress and Joseph comes in to save the day! He was by our side most of the night, I had a schedule I wanted to follow and Joseph was on it more then my coordinator. Joseph also provided so much experience and recommendations throughout the night to me and my now husband which was so nice for us as we were pulled in every different direction but he made sure it was about us. Joseph is so sweet, patient, kind, caring, professional, and very humble with pricing. We would’ve even paid more for the services we got with him, he was seriously our only ‘vendor’ who we didn’t have problems with.
    If you can’t tell J Tate is definitely your go to photographer. We will be using him again for all our family photos. Thank you so much Joseph for everything we couldn’t be more blessed!

    Joe was excellent to work with from start to finish!!

    Joe’s prices are what first made us interested in his work, and by the end of our wedding night, we told him we wouldn’t have wanted any other photographer to capture our big day!!

    Joe was always prompt, clear, and kind in all forms of communication with us.

    His laidback and easy-going approach fit well with ours. And that is not to say that Joe’s professionalism or attention to detail were compromised. I appreciated him adjusting my cathedral veil and train of my dress for many shots he took. Joe was on top of it and reliable without being overbearing or overwhelming throughout the entirety of working with him.

    On the day of, he had some unique and beautiful ideas for shots which we loved. He was also not up in everybody’s faces yet still managed to get SO MANY beautiful shots of everything on our big day.

    We recommend Joe to anyone looking for a professional and quality photographer who is a pleasure to work with.

    Excellent and Professinal

    He was very professional and knew what he was doing. He was not in the way at all and could barely tell he was there. I highly recommend JTate Designs

    Amazing Photographer!

    Joe was amazing to work with! He is super flexible and laid back. He traveled to Columbus for our engagement shoot and the pictures were amazing! He arrived early and stayed later than planned for our ceremony and reception to make sure he got all of the pictures. He worked with us and we planned and replanned the wedding due to COVID-19 and was always available if we had questions or wanted his input on something. He really enjoys what he does and we enjoyed working with him!

    Thank you Amanda! It was wonderful to be able to shoot your big day! :) I hope you love all of your photos

    You should hire Joe!

    Hello everyone! Just wanted to give a shoutout to JTate Design. Joe is a photographer in the Northeast Ohio area and if you're looking for a fantastic experience, please get in contact with him. Five stars across the board.

    As a plus size bride, photos were my greatest concern. Wedding photos are the one thing that stands the text of time, and I wanted to love them, while also knowing it is very difficult for me to accept photos of myself. I shared my concerns with Joe during our engagement session, and he listened to them. In no time my husband and I were comfortable, and Joe was able to capture all the love and joy at our event. I also adore some of the unique touches he included, showing he got to know us as a couple. All of his work was on time, and his prices were fantastic. Thank you, Joe!

    My biggest problem? Figuring out which ones to frame!

    These photos are fire

    Joe was fantastic. I had a lot of crazy ideas about the photos I wanted and he rolled right with the punches and got AMAZING shots. He was super easy going and nice. Value was spectacular. I couldn't recommend him more.

    JTate Design's reply:

    Thank you Katelin!! I loved shooting your wedding and all of the unique touches you incorporated on your big day.

    I wish you two the very best in the years to come! :)

    You need this photographer for your wedding!

    I can't explain how much of a big POSITIVE role this photographer played in our wedding day and making all things run smoothly! He was EXCELLENT! Joe is extremely professional and flexible. We had to reschedule our engagement shoot many times, and not once was he anything but accommodating. My now husband and I had no idea what we were doing for poses or how things should go, and Joe not only guided us when we needed to guided, but also just went with the flow of how we act as a couple, producing AMAZING photos from it - great quality photos with vibrant color and detail. Joe is also the fastest out of all the vendors we hired in responding back to questions or emails/texts, every time responding in less than 24 hours. Joe also the day of our wedding was a huge help to me, personally, as the bride whose bridesmaids and MOH were MIA half the day. Joe helped me fluff my dress, pick the twigs and leaves out of it, taught me how to hold my train and helped make sure I was safely walking on the grass, stairs, and other things he had us trek through in order to get the photos we asked for - this was above and beyond in my book! I just cannot say enough about how great of an experience we had with this photographer. We will be using him for all our future photo needs, and we HIGHLY recommend, as the value in price for the quality you get is on point!

    Joe’s the BEST!

    Joe was wonderful to work with! He was affordable, professional, and created gorgeous pictures that he had back to us quickly! He was available anytime we had questions, and made sure that we got every special picture that we wanted to help capture our day! We couldn’t recommend him more highly!

    Joe was amazing! He is quick to respond to any questions that you have. He is very easy going and makes you feel comfortable . On the day of our wedding he was so helpful in making sure everything followed our timeline. I couldn't be any more pleased with how our engagement and wedding photos turned out. Worth every penny!

    We had our wedding a few weeks ago, and we are so happy to have Joe as our photographer! He was wonderful - efficient, professional, friendly, and checked up with us throughout the night to make sure he got all the shots we wanted. He even helped us out to coordinate with our other vendors - there were a few times where he could read our expressions of confusion (for example "wait... what time is the cake cutting?" or "oh where is X - she needs a corsage"). He did such an excellent job for us with respect to photos, but also was around us for a good deal of the day and was phenomenal with helping everything go smoothly! We just got our teaser photos today and they are beautiful, he’s done such an amazing job and we can’t wait to see the rest! We HIGHLY recommend him; thank you so much for helping to make our day special and memorable!!!

    We ended up being a much tighter time restraint then I had hoped. Even with the constant rushing Joe was able to get the best pictures!! We only go the first preview pictures and I am in love already. I cannot wait to see all of them.

    My husband and I are so happy we chose Joe to photograph our wedding, almost 2 years later we are still in love with the photos that he took! He captured all of the important moments from the day, complete with a range of detail shots, group and candid photos. His artistic and creative sensibility strongly shows throughout his work. As artists ourselves, we were looking for someone to go above and beyond the typical, standard wedding photos to provide a creative approach and Joe did exactly that. Joe made sure he knew what shots we wanted, which he supplemented with his own ideas and artistic intuition. Joe is professional, thoughtful, easy to work with, and provides an unbeatable value for his service. My husband and I highly recommend Joe to anyone looking for a wedding photographer in the area!

    We are so happy that we went with Joe for our photographer on our big day! He is very professional, very responsive and knows the art of photography very well! I had some ideas of what I wanted, but I am no photographer, so I didn't know how to make them happen. He on the other hand made my ideas come to life. Our photos turned out beautifully! He had them back to us in less than 2 months which was so great! We love our photos and we highly recommend Joe!

    Joe did an amazing job and was the best priced photographer for the quality by far! My co-worker referred him and I could not have been happier. He was so easy to work with. He just sent us a "teaser" of pics from our wedding and they were so beautiful. I am beyond impressed. I promise you will not be disappointed nor will you break the bank by choosing Joe!

    Joe did such a wonderful job capturing our wedding day! He was with us from makeup and hair to the end of the reception. We were even able to stop on our way from the church to the reception and get some outside shots too. He is just so easy going and awesome to work with. He caught some great candid moments throughout the day/night and just simply did an amazing job. There are so many pictures I want to frame!! I will certainly hire him again when we need family photos or baby pictures taken.
    Thanks Joe!

    I am a hairstylist, and I know a lot of photographers out there. I went with Joe Tate because of a personal recomendation and im very glad i did. He was flexible, on time and not pushy. He suggested i pic different pictures that i liked so he could get a feel for my style. Our wedding was next to a fire station and he took a few pics that i wouldnt of even thought of. i am impressed by his creativity and love his professional style.

    I highly recommend Joe as a photographer. He was with us for most of the day of our wedding, and even stayed later than we expected (and paid for) him to at our reception. He is always polite and professional, and able to capture the moments every bride wants without being intrusive. He made all of our guests feel at ease when he was taking their picture, and offered suggestions during our bridal party photos. Joe managed to capture the mood of our reception in our pictures. Through the images he shot, we are able to instantly remember the energy in the room, how much fun everyone had, and the crazy things our friends did at our reception. We also used Joe for our engagement pictures, and were just as happy with the end product. I will definitely hire him again when its time for family photos!

    Joe is a great photographer! He was so easy going & would just go with the flow of the day. He captured pictures that you had no idea he was even taking your photo. I loved that! We had our dog with us for the ceremony & pictures afterwards and he was very accommodating to work with us and our dog. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer. Joe captures moments like no one else.

    Joe was a great photographer. The reason I ended up choosing him is because his work looked more like art not just everyday wedding pictures. I think the only thing that people who are going to work with him need to know is that it is better if you know what pictures you want going into it. This is because he isn't as aggressive as some photographers in the aspect of saying "ok lets do this, or you stand here". He gets great photos though. My favorite I didn't even know he was taking and it was beautiful. I would and have recommended to people since the wedding.

    You all I used Joe and he was so wonderful to work with! Since I have had 3 girlfriend use him for their wedding and all have had great feedback. We also had Joe additionally come to our rehearsal dinner and do family pictures. They are so treasured for us. I would highly recommend Joe, additionally you cant beat his prices or the value of having the right to your pictures and not having to pay additional charges on top of the already high price of paying the photographer etc.

    We are so happy that we chose Joe as our photographer! He is a very sweet (and somewhat soft-spoken) and very professional guy and his work is fantastic! As an actress and model, I'm a bit picky about photography and I was very very pleased with the beautiful images we received! Joe is great at providing a mix of portraits and candid moments with stunning detail shots. And you CANNOT beat the value! We got an engagement session (with photos that I am still in love with), a 2nd photographer, a full day of shooting on our wedding day, full printing rights + a CD with all the edited photos, AND a beautiful wedding album all for only $2400! I am so lucky that we found Joe and he was able to make all my wedding photography dreams come true :)
