Just hope that Jerry is available for your date because this guy is AMAZING!
Just after reading up on Jerry; what photography means to him and seeing his work, I had no doubt tha...
t he was going to be great and that we HAD to have him. I have to say that even then, Jerry exceeded our expectations! Jerry seems to have this natural and comforting quality about him that allows you to feel at ease. He knocked my jitters right out of the park!
While I had a strong feeling that Jerry was going to take awesome shots, I definitely didn't realize how much fun it would be. His enthusiasm is contagious, we had a blast. At the end of the day, Jerry will make you feel like you can win the shot for the front cover of a bridal magazine while also keeping an eye for all of the candid moments that you and your loved ones experienced.
Just mind-blowing professionalism, fun, and quality from Jerry and his team.
Jerry didn't disappoint. He definitely knows how to capture the moment. We can't even count how many times we heard "that shot should be in a magazine" after people viewed our enga...
gement / wedding photos. The video he created for us after the wedding brings tears to our eyes every time we watch it.
The first thing you will notice about Jerry’s photos is his ability to capture real emotion. He doesn’t rely on posed fish eye lens shots to have dynamic images. His use of negative space and filters, makes even his staged shots come alive. Jerry and his assistant are everywhere at once; I don't think they missed a single shot! He was also very accommodating to our guests fielding any requests for pictures, while still maintaining focus on my husband and I. Do not hesitate to hire this photographer.
Jerry is amazing. I think he is among the special photographers who have an eye for, and a skill at, capturing a "moment". He truly made me feel the guanlet of emotions when watchi...
ng my slide show or looking at our photo gallery. I would be cracking up one minute and laughing the next. I would not describe him as a typical wedding photographer - which is a large part of why we chose him to shoot our wedding. He was willing to try artsy shots that pushed far past the limited & predictable wedding pose. In addition, he did a terrific job of making my husband and I feel so comfortable with him and his creative choices that we never felt worried that we weren't going to get the photos we had always wanted to tell the story of our wedding. I honestly do not think there is a better photographer out there. You would be crazy not to book him.
Jerry and his staff shot my daughters engagement and wedding photos! He is truly a professional and has such a great eye for original shots and the ability to catch touching momen...
ts! I have never seen more beautiful wedding pictures!!! I will add that he also went to Key West to shoot the engagement pictures and he was so accomodating!! Great to work with, too.
Jerry is probably going to be sorry I ever found him! I love pictures anyways, but to have a wedding and "need" several photo sessions is even better! This was one vendor I knew ...
exactly what I wanted but I wasn't sure where to begin. When I found Jerry I was honest from the start with our budget. He was very understanding and helpful, he gave us some options and worked with us. I ended up doing engagement pictures through someone else and they were not very nice at all. You definitely get what you pay for. In the end I had Jerry shoot both the wedding and the engagement pictures and so far so good! I really wanted to have a different and edgy look and he achieved the goal! As for the engagement pictures, we went to Key West and did the session there, which was a really cool idea. The pictures turned out fantastic. I really appreciated the fact that he is truly interested in his clients and what they are looking for, as well as having a passion for photography. Adam and I have both really enjoyed working with and getting to know Jerry and the good thing is that we will need more pictures in the future!
The bottom line is that, you can't do any better. Don't get caught up in "preferred" or "featured" vendors. Listen to reviews and then see for yourself. He's amazing and very willing to work with your vision.
Jerry was amazing! He was so easy to work with, he knew all the shots we wanted, and organized everyone wonderfully. We did not want the typical very formal posed pictures that hav...
e been done a million times, and Jerry knew exactly what to do. We only had to wait two weeks to get our pictures, and they took our breath away. I will treasure these pictures forever. Worth every penny!
I am so glad we found Jerry and hired him as our photographer. We could not be happier about our entire experience. From the first meeting with Jerry we immediately felt comforta...
ble with him. He had a great mix of professionalism and friendliness. The day of our wedding he and the second photographer were both so easy to work with. They were happy and willing to try any photo shots we wanted, and also recommended some great shots of their own. During the ceremony and reception, except for the times when they were doing shots directly with us, we didn't notice they were around. And I mean that in the best way - they were so good at their jobs that we never felt like we were being followed or being photographed.
We just got the pictures back this weekend, and I can honestly say that there isn't a bad one in the bunch. We've had a hard time choosing one that is our favorite as there are so many. In addition, we were really impressed by how great the photos were. Our wedding was near dusk, and the reception was in the evening. We were worried that there might not be enough light to shoot pictures, but we didn't have to worry. Jerry and the second photographer were great with their cameras and lighting, and each photo came out perfectly framed and lit.
Lastly, we were so happy how quickly the photos came back, as we were anxious to see them. I'd highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a photographer.
I picked Jerry as my photographer because I fell in love with his work. Not only is it photo-journalism at its finest but he also pushes the envelope if the bride is willing to and...
does some real edgy, rockstar quality stuff. Personally I love the contrast of a beautiful bride set in an urban backdrop and that's what he delivered for us. It's not for everyone but Jerry also does very classy stuff. He was very flexible to all of our requests (And there were many! LOL) and he was very enjoyable to work with. I have already referred him to 2 friends who are getting married and will definitely use him for other special events in the future.
I Absolutely loved Jerry. he was BY FAR the most amazing vendor we had. He was worth every penny we paid!!!!!! He is so talented and our pictures are absolutely beautiful, I LOV...
E THEM ALL which is a lot seeing as though I a hate pictures of myself.
The best and if I could give him a million stars I would! <3
