    The Perfect Wedding Photographer

    We recently had the pleasure of working with Japhet Odigie as our wedding photographer for our magical day on March 23, 2023, and we cannot express enough gratitude for his exceptional service. From the first meeting to the final delivery of our wedding photos, Japhet proved to be a consummate professional who exceeded our expectations.

    Japhet's professionalism was evident from the start. He arrived promptly and well-prepared, ensuring that every aspect of our wedding day was captured beautifully. This reliability added a layer of comfort and confidence to our day, allowing us to focus on the joy of the moment while trusting Japhet to capture it all. His friendly and approachable demeanor instantly put us at ease, creating a comfortable atmosphere that allowed us to be ourselves in front of the camera.

    One of Japhet's standout qualities was his keen attention to detail. He took the time to understand our vision and preferences, capturing every significant moment with precision and artistry. His ability to listen and adapt to our needs made the process seamless and enjoyable.

    Throughout the day, Japhet demonstrated a perfect balance of being unobtrusive yet always present. He seamlessly blended into the background during candid moments, capturing our guests' genuine emotions while taking charge when it was time for group shots. His clear and concise instructions made the group photos efficient and enjoyable for everyone involved.

    The quality of Japhet's work speaks for itself. The photos we receive are not just images; they are timeless memories that perfectly encapsulate the essence of our wedding day. Each photograph's composition, lighting, and attention to detail showcase Japhet's skill and passion for his craft.

    One delightful surprise was that we received our photos faster than expected! Japhet's efficiency in processing and delivering the final images showcased his commitment to providing a seamless and timely experience. The speed at which we received our stunning photos only added to the overall satisfaction of working with him.

    We wholeheartedly recommend Japhet to couples seeking a wedding photographer who goes above and beyond. His professionalism, friendliness, attention to detail, and ability to truly listen make him the ideal choice for capturing the most critical moments of your special day.

    Thank you, Japhet, for preserving our memories in such a beautiful and heartfelt way! We love you, and we'll see you at the Maternity Shoot!!

    Outstanding!

    Japhet, you're by far one of the most talented - most creative - professionals in the photography industry. My fiancé and I are appreciative of your kindness, and how easy you made things for us. We went from being nervous prior to the shoot, to extremely comfortable throughout the session. Considering how busy you're with other clients, you were timely and effective with meeting our requests. We are so grateful, for your quality of work, and professionalism.

    Beautiful Wedding Photos

    My husband and I had such an amazing time working with Japhet! I can't say enough about how mazing he was to just his skills as a photographer but making us feel comfortable and confident while taking the photos. He gives great directions, scoped out the venue for great places to take the photos the day before, he's extremely kind and patient and understanding. I can't say enough about the amazing person he is and then of course there is the photographer and his skills are absolutely unmatched. If you want beautiful photos to remember your special day you need to book!

    Just…WOW! If you’re reading this book now!

    My fiancé and I took engagement photos with Japhet on Monday and as someone who isn’t use to being in front of camera I had such high anxiety about what the end result would be. Japhet was super cool and did a fantastic job with making us feel comfortable with just being us. He was super detailed and did a fantastic job at leading the shoot. We received our photos back way sooner than expected and the quality is unmatched! PAY HIM WHATEVER HE ASKS FOR! I promise it was worth every penny!

    Best choice we made!

    One of the best choices we made for our wedding was hiring Japhet! He was amazing! He captured our day to perfection! My husband is fairly shy and Japhet made us feel so comfortable in both our engagement session and the wedding photos. He took the time to get to know us and understand what we wanted. He tailored the experience to us, our family, and the aesthetic we were hoping to achieve. Japhet also a great energy!

    And his work? It’s beautiful. Simply stunning. We couldn’t be happier!

    An experience you won't forget or regret!

    I mean I'm not quite sure how much I can rant and rave about how selecting Japhet was the best decision for our engagement shoot. He's extremely professional, patient, and is willing to bring your ideas to life. I said "lake," he said, "let's go." You can see that Japhet has a love for what he does because in the moment he's excited about getting the best shots. His eye for beauty and capturing some of our most beautiful moments were rewarding. The fact that even after his hard work, his love for photography encourages him to send over a sneak peek. Japhet is not only our friend but a lifetime photographer. This is truly an experience you won't forget or regret..... and we haven't even gotten to the wedding yet. Book Japhet, he's amazing!!!

    Absolutely Stunning Photographs & Wonderful Service

    We couldn’t have been more thrilled with our stunning engagement and wedding photos! Japhet was extremely professional, time conscious, a great communicator, and made us feel comfortable during each shoot. We’ve received nothing but rave reviews of our photos from family and friends. He captured intimate details, candid moments, and showcased our natural demeanor and love for each other. I can’t recommend him enough, especially for Black and Brown couples. Overall, we had a fabulous experience and will hire him again!

    JAO is top notch!

    Japhet is an extremely gifted photographer. He knows what looks good and provides great direction to achieve your vision. He is very professional, his equipment is up-to-date, his business systems run smoothly, and his work is absolutely top notch. We thoroughly reviewed his portfolio before choosing him as our wedding photographer. After our initial meeting with him, we were sure he was the right fit. And he was! He shot our engagement, my bridal shower, my sister’s wedding, our pre-rehearsal dinner, and our wedding and reception. We LOVE him. Our photos are clear and crisp and fierce and jaw-dropping gorgeous. We can’t wait for our next shoots in January and April. JAO Photography has earned my highest and most enthusiastic recommendation!

    If you want the best, here he is!

    Japhet was recommended to me by a friend and has by far been the best choice we made when deciding on a photographer. for our engagement/wedding. He's particular about his work and we absolutely loved that. His ability to capture all the twinkling sparks during the special moments is impeccable. He even has a keen eye for finding the best lighting and the most creative spaces. Also his turn around time on images is top notch.
    If you are looking for amazing and bomb photos, he's it!

    The most comfortable photo shoot experience!

    My fiancé and I loved our engagement session with JAO. I really loved how Japhet let us ... be us. He picked beautiful locations based on our personal style, made sure the lighting was perfect for our different skin-tones and directed us in a way that was comfortable and authentic. His turn around for our final edits was super fast (2 days) and we can not wait for him to capture our wedding day (May 2020).

    I would (and already have) recommended him to friends!

    Book with Japhet! You won’t regret! ☺️

    Japhet did an amazing job! From our engagement photos to our actual wedding day photos. He is very professional and knows exactly what he wants to do! He had everything planned out, so we weren’t standing around wasting time. His work is AMAZING, and he sent sneak peak photos both times (for engagement session and wedding) in less than 24 hours! He is also just an all around solid guy! Over exceeded our expectations! Will definitely use in the future! Thank you Japhet!!
