J Bauer Photo

nts on our wedding day (they stayed with us ALL day!) J Bauer Productions is very professional and very reliable. They have fantastic ideas and it is clear that they have a lot of experience with photography. They take the time to get to know the couples they are working with and they honor any special requests you may have. J Bauer productions took the time to meet with us beforehand to review the days events and answer any questions we had. They also came to our rehearsal at the church to become familiar with the atmosphere and lighting. They provide you with a "sneak peak" of your pictures soon after your wedding and have everything ready for you in a reasonable time after your wedding. We have received so many compliments on how beautiful our pictures turned out! I highly recommend J Bauer Productions!

uer after searching vendors on The Knot and looking over reviews and websites from there. Joe offered to meet my then fiancé and I at a location of choice to discuss options and after our first few minutes, we knew he was our photographer! He was very friendly, showed us beautiful portfolio examples, and was easygoing with what we were looking for. We decided to add engagement photos on to our wedding package and are so glad we did! For both the wedding and engagement shoots, Joe was quick to listen to where we wanted and also help advise us to locations that fit our wants. We were unsure of what to expect when we took our engagement photos, but Joe was so professional and made us feel comfortable as we walked around, telling us what we should do to produce our gorgeous photos. We were ready to go then by the time our wedding came around! Joe was great with email communication anytime we had a question. He attended our rehearsal before the wedding and had his vision ready for the wedding day! Joe and his wife Kathy showed up at our hair salon on time and eager to start shooting my bridesmaids and myself. From there they moved to the church with us and had the entire shooting process streamlined before, during, and after the wedding. They had some unique shots that we absolutely love (like our party favors and my dress at the church), and also gave us all the photos with family and spur of the moment celebratory times we were hoping for. My husband and I, my family and wedding guests, all truly enjoyed Joe himself and the pictures we’ve seen so far. The fact that we receive all rights to our photos in color and black and white make things even better! We can’t wait to see the rest of the wedding photos!!! Joe – thank you!!!

Joe kept a pace that ensured we would get great shots and not miss our own party. Kathy consistently offered up new ideas for shots that we all liked. We have fun taking the pictures and they look amazing, too. These two are top of the class. Highly recommended.

icky, windy, and sandy but Joe and Kathy made it seem like the perfect weather for shooting a wedding. The weather didn't slow them down one bit and the pictures are amazing! I wanted to do a trash the dress shoot in the waves and Joe and Kathy met us on the beach at sunrise the morning after the wedding and captured pictures that took our breath away. Joe even laid in the waves to get the perfect shot! We have life long memories to share with our children and grandchildren because of this amazing photography team! I am not the type of bride who wants a ton of staged pictures with every combination of wedding party/family and Joe was quick to pick up on my style. He got the necessary shots and made the rest creative and candid. The expressions he captured were priceless and we can't thank him enough for portraying the ambiance of our wedding day in photos. Thank you Joe and Kathy, you were the icing on our cake!!

idea what you may miss!! He was seriously there until the last song was played. He does about a10-12 hour day AND you get TWO photographers for his price. His wife does about an 8 hour day (She actually had to stay later because we were behind, and they wanted to make sure all important moments were captured!). He will do the guy shots getting ready and what not, and she will come and do the girl shots. Most people i met with, you pay for the second photographer and again you have to determine the hours you need. He has three main packages, but you can manipulate what you need and want. With his packages, you get CDs with ALL pictures taken that day. We got a package with an album, and the album draft was generated quickly and we just love it. He even came to our rehearsal to check out the venue, and get an idea where he wanted to get pictures for the day of. The day of-- he kept in touch with my planner and scoped out the weather and headed downtown early to determine the best location for our group shots based on the weather. He had a plan, and there was no confusion. The most important thing to me was getting pictures with my four dogs. Joe was able to make that happen for me. He had us stop at our house before heading for our downtown stop and in 15 minutes he got multiple shots of us with our dogs and it was pain free (and my dogs are typically a pain to get to sit still). The pictures turned out great and my boys are so handsome! He was quick to send us a sample of our pictures...in fact we got a link from him on our honeymoon (~4-5 days alter)! The details captured and the enhancing were amazing! You can just tell he truly cares and wants to make it perfect. He was willing to meet to discuss anything we wanted and he did not try to up sell or pressure us into anything. He listened to what we wanted, and made it happen. He is very personable and no situation was uncomfortable. I would hire him again in a heartbeat! He is definitely worth what you pay, based on hours alone! It doesn't hurt that the pictures are artistic, amazing, and great quality!

ery friendly. He even helped us recreate some shots I had seen on Pintrest that I loved. We felt like we had hired a friend. I look forward to using him the next time I need photos!

e a lot of experience and creative vision, but is also very tuned in to what you want. He and Kathy were with us from the early morning salon appointment to the end of the reception, and they did a great job of creating posed shots and capturing beautiful candid moments. Joe also prioritizes getting your pictures back to you quickly. We had a sample selection of our photos waiting for us when we got back from the honeymoon, and we got the full set of digital proofs less than a month after the wedding! We could not be happier with J Bauer Photography and would heartily recommend them to anyone.

y to work with and made us feel comfortable right from the start. AfterJoe shot our engagement pictures,we knew we had made the right choice! He let us go to several locations and gave us all the time we needed to get the shots and never made us feel rushed or on a schedule. We then had a winter wedding this past December, and received the same phenomenal treatment! Joe came to our rehearsal for test shots and to check the lighting to make sure everything was perfect for our wedding day. His wife Kathy was the second photographer at our wedding and also did a fantastic job! She was so sweet and attentive to all the girls when we were getting ready and captured some of the best candid shots! Between the two of them, we have such amazing, creative, beautiful photos! They really captured every single detail and aspect of the wedding. They spent a total of 12 hours with us on the wedding day and did not miss a single moment from getting ready to the last song! The wedding went by so quickly, and looking back through all of the photographs is like reliving our special day! Our wedding album was more than we could have asked for and we have received MANY compliments. They were such a fun couple to work with it was as if we had friends shooting our wedding! Out of the hundreds of photos we now have, I can't say that there were any we did not like!It was hard to pick favorites! I would HIGHLY recommend J Bauer Productions to anyone. You will definitely not regret your decision! Joe and Kathy we can never thank you enough...you two are awesome! Love, Matt and Holly Kensill

ded him. He even jumped on my Pinterest page to see what picture ideas I had liked! Also, since he had seen I liked the idea of taking a photo of our rings on the newspaper for our wedding day he went out and bought a paper so we could get this picture! We will definitely be recommending him to our friends and using him for family pictures in the future!

G! Their prices are competitive, and totally worth every penny. Communication is great, and they work well under pressure, as we were about to get rained on , but they were persistent, we could get the shots, and with a rather large wedding party, I figured it would take alot more time than it did! I would def recommend J Bauer Productions to future brides, and will be using them myself for my family pictures!

hour and a half before my ceremony and I found out that my photographer thought the wedding was the next day. Needless to say, I did not have a photographer as I was getting ready for the biggest day of my life. The venue tried calling every photographer in the area to see if someone would be able to come over right then and start taking pictures so I would have memories for a lifetime. Next thing I know, Joe was over in a minute. To be honest, I didn't even know his name until after the wedding. I could not thank him enough for coming so last minute and getting pictures of me getting ready and my wedding ceremony. He made sure he was there taking pictures until my original wedding photographer got there and was all set up. I really can not thank him enough. He really did save my wedding day. He mentioned how he could not leave a bride hanging on her wedding day!!! I would/ have recommend him to anyone. He has a great heart, personality and AMAZING pictures!!! Thank you Joe for everything!!!

raphy let alone an incredible eye for beauty. I have and will recommend Joe and Kathy Bauer's services to everyone I know. The end result they offer is one in a million and the time you spend with them is genuine and wonderful. Any and all individuals I've shown Joe & Kathy's work have always had the same reaction - awe and excitement! Molly Carney

much less stressful! Thank you so much!

amazing. A true professional, a credit to his profession and his pictures were the envy of many friends. If I had it all to do over again I would not change anything about our photographer. I do however plan to use J Bauer Productions in the future for any life event I need a photographer. I highly recommend stopping your search for a photographer now that you found J Bauer Productions.

y together. We were so impressed that we recommended Joe and Kathy for a family member's wedding this summer. They were there to capture every last moment of the reception, and the pictures were beautiful. They really enjoy shooting weddings and you can see that in their pictures. The bride and groom thanked me for recommending J Bauer Productions, and I even ended up with another great shot of my son! I will absolutely recommend J Bauer Productions to anyone looking for a photographer. I only wish we'd had them for our wedding!

could not have been nicer to work with. All that he advertises is true! They came to a special location for the engagement pictures and had amazing ideas to make the location and setting have meaning to the couple. There were two photographers for more than 12 hours. I never saw them take a break. They were always looking for an opportunity to take a special photo, and we received so many great ones that it's very hard to choose which to get. Although, we have rights to print all of them ourselves and the DVD of them was in out hands in less than 8 weeks so we can get them all printed at a very reasonable price. There were many of the best photos on facebook the same week of the wedding! You can have any ideas of your own, and when you run out of ideas, he thinks of the most amazing poses to shoot. We even had 3 photos that we wanted the background changed on and he did it overnight and emailed back for our approval at no cost! The cost was less than for each of our last 3 weddings and the quality, response time, service and professionalism were awesome! I would not hesitate to go with J Bauer Productions for photos. I only wish that we had discovered them earlier.

n the morning and stayed with us for 12 HOURS! He was there all day until the last song!His wife helped him throughout the day with her own camera capturing extra moments as well! He even took any ideas I had and ran with it! And for anything that I didnt have planned, he already had it covered! I had a 16 person bridal party that he cleverly arranged for each photo. I had over 40 formal family photos requested and he didnt mind a bit! Joe even showed up to the rehearsals and captured all of that as well! Joe did our engagement shots too. He came to a location he had never seen before and came up with great shot ideas as we went! He also had 63 wedding pictures up and posted on his website before we were even back from our honeymoon! Very timely. Easy to get a hold of, and quick with answering question. Highly recommend him!

d ask him to photograph our other daughter’s wedding this September. We were thrilled when we were learned he was available. Not only does Joe have creativity and talent, he is a joy to work with – highly professional, patient and friendly. And completely dependable – we knew the minute he said yes, that we had nothing to worry about and we would have more marvelous images of another great wedding.

f the time we barely even knew they were there, they were super inconspicuous and still got some of the best wedding pictures we have ever seen! They met all our requests and did so with the most professionalism. The pictures were beautiful and we have received so many compliments on them already. We would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone who wants to deal with a professional, wonderful pair. Joe drove quite a distance to come meet with us on several occasions and was always responsive with all our email contact. It was a wonderful experience and we will look to JBauer Productions to do our family photos for years to come!

an to work with him in the future for all of our family pictures.

ok a picture of every single detail! They were both extremely easy to work with and very professional. Between the two of them, not one thing was missed. Our engagement and wedding pictures turned out beautiful. Joe is very flexible and we even shot our engagement pictures while a hurricane was blowing through Columbus! We could not have asked for anything more. We just received our wedding album and it is gorgeous.

, hiring JBauer Productions was not only the easiest, but best decision. Joe shot our engagement pictures in the fall which turned out beautifully. When it came time for our wedding he and his wife Kathy were there from the minute my girls and I started getting ready until the last guest left the reception. It's so nice to see a husband and wife work so amazingly well together. Our pictures and album turned out better than we could have ever imagined. Make at least one decision easy and hire them!

ted pictures of/with, between a large bridal party and extended family shots. Less than a week after the wedding, we were able to view 60 photos. They were all sooo beautiful! We have gotten many compliments on the quality as well as creativity. So excited for the memories that Joe and Kathy were able to capture for us!

e "by the hour". He was with us while getting our hair done pre-ceremony until we were packing the wedding presents into the car after the reception. He took beautiful pictures of everyone and he had the previews on line in record time! It was great to know that we did NOT have to worry about anything conerning the pics etc. with Joe working with us. The final picture book/album was beautiful! I would (and have) recommended Joe to a friend.

u had to chose from and the images he took really captured the whole wedding. As time went by Joe took our engagement pictures which came with his awesomely priced packages! and those were amazing. When it came to the wedding day, Joe and Kathy were there the whole step of the way. Form the salon to limo ride to church to the crazy reception. They are amazing people with such great talent and I would give them as a reference to everyone I meet looking for a photographer! Thank you again Joe and Kathy! You both captured my wedding perfectly and I couldn't of asked for a better outcome!

t to see our wedding pictures. Joe is very professional and would always respond to emails/calls etc right away. On our wedding day Joe and Kathy were there bright and early and didn't leave till the end of the reception. Everyone kept commenting on how great they were. Thanks Joe and Kathy for making our wedding day so special. We will continue to use them for all of our photography needs :) Love Greg and Ashley

cted them to purchase my own photos of my 3 little boys that danced the night away at the reception. I will now not only have the wonderful memories of my niece, but of the fun night with my boys celebrating the marriage of Ashley and Greg! Thank you Joe for capturing such fun memories for us.

creative photography! As our ceremony and reception took place both in and outdoors, they spent hours at our venue (the day before the wedding) making sure that the lighting was perfect, and mapping out where they needed to be to get the best angles/ shots. On the day of the wedding, Joe and Kathy really became a part of our extended family. They photographed our entire day (over a span of 14 hours), and captured every moment that made that day so special! Words cannot express the gratitude that we have have for Joe and Kathy! We feel truly blessed that our paths crossed, and that we chose such AMAZING photographers! We would absolutely recommend J Bauer Productions for any event!

h their photographs. Most of all, we really appreciated their no time limit policy - eased my level of worry/stress.

ked a specific day yet, I knew May 2012 was our month. After finding out what Saturdays J Bauer Productions had free, I picked May 5. The first and only vendor I was always set on was J Bauer Productions. My husband hates getting his picture taken and does not smile in pictures. In our engagement pictures, Joe captured my husband smiling and even laughing. I was amazed as I have never seen pictures of my husband smiling. On our wedding day, my husband was captured laughing and smiling more times than I can count, and that is all thanks to J Bauer Productions. Joe and Kathy created a calming and relaxing presence on my wedding day that helped to keep me sane and organized. A day that is supposed to be filled with crazy activity and stress was made so much better by there presence. The pictures of my wedding day are filled with such raw emotion that a viewer can feel the love and excitement in our expressions. From the look my dad gave me as we walked down the aisle, to that first dance as husband and wife, that magic is captured in our pictures. We also opted to do the wedding video package. Every time I see our video I get misty-eyed and re-live the day over. It is such a magical day and I can re-live it in our pictures as well as in our memories. THANK YOU JOE & KATHY!

me a great comic relief at times! Joe kept us laughing the whole morning of getting ready, which really helps with the nerves! I would highly recommend J Bauer Productions for anyone looking for professional and affordable photography!

to arrange for us to have our engagement photos taken in the Shoe. After we finished with pictures in the stadium we went to mirror lake and stopped along the way for some other great unexpected shots. It was an amazing experience and really captured how much fun we have together as a couple. For our wedding Joe was again amazing! His wife Kathy also works with him take photos and she is just as amazing to work with  They captured every moment of our night and put together the most beautiful wedding album. They were a lot of fun to work with and very professional. They were on time and took pictures of details I would have never thought to take and I am so glad that I have them to remember our day. I have received countless compliments on our pictures and the album. We will always treasure our wedding photos and could not have asked for anything more with Joe and Kathy.

e to the UK to shoot our wedding early on, and his planning from abroad was spot-on. Even though he couldn't go scout the locations in advance, he did enough work to know where he wanted to take his shots. Our wedding day, just like many others, was a whirlwind of emotions and flew by so fast. Joe's pictures not only managed to capture our love for each other on our day, but also the love that we share for York. His work on our wedding was top-notch. His image work and album designs are great, but I highly recommend his 'video' service. Joe combines finished images, with some video captured on the day, and music to produce a truly emotional memento. When we saw this finished product it really brought the emotions back and will be something that we will give to our families. I highly recommend J Bauer Productions for your wedding, whether local or abroad.

elped us carry our alcohol into the temple- even though he was only there to observe and was not at all obligated to help us. He's extremely easy to work with and listened to our preferences. Also, his prices are competitive, and I love the fact that he gave us a DVD with ALL the pictures he took from the wedding. He doesn't copyright the images which we thought was generous and fantastic. He has a great eye and I especially love the bright colors and color contrasts in his photos. I can't say enough about how positive our experience with him was and I would definitely recommend him to anyone.

ns and insight captured incredible. If you want the best most reasonable photographer, snap Joe up first chance you have!

like a photojournalist -- which was exactly what we wanted. He really listened to our ideas and made sure we got the kind of shots we wanted. He flew in a few days early to scope out the best shots around our church and it made a big difference in the final product. His prices are SO reasonable and he's just a good guy to work with. The video he put together with our photos made my husband cry -- never thought that would happen! You will not be disappointed!

r brought tears to my father in laws eyes which I never thought could be possible. I would recommend Joe for any wedding, family shoot or any photography needs one might have. Not only was he able to capture such amazing moments but he was quick and delivered the final product shortly after we arrived home from our honeymoon. Thank you Joe, your talent amazes me!

me, and he stayed for every second of the day. He had great ideas for places and poses. We love all of our photo's, album, and video. It is hard to stop looking at them! We would recommend Joe to anyone. We couldn't have had a better photographer!

alon at 10am and did not finish "capturing" the day's events until after the last song at the reception was played at 11pm! He is genuine and patient,but knows how to work effectively in order to re-create your wedding day for you through his pictures.

our, toasts, guests dancing the YMCA/hustle, our first dance, cutting the cake, family pictures, flower girls, etc.! We were also pleased with the quality of the pictures. The color pictures were vibrant and the black and white the pictures had a soft, classic quality. He was also unobtrusive throughout the evening, but were able to capture all of the important moments. Throughout our wedding planning and after the big day, Joe was accessible and responded quickly to our requests/questions. This helped facilitate the many details involved with the wedding planning as well as afterwards. We will continue to work with Joe for any future needs, and reconmend him to any bride.
