A little love from our clients!

James and the staff at James Michael Photographers have become like family to my husband and I. As soon as we met James, we knew he was the photographer for us! I will never hire another photographer for any of the milestone events in our life. Our wedding day was beautifully captured by James, Gene and Savior. Not only were they wonderful with me and my husband, but with our bridal party and our family. They seamlessly attended to details that I never even thought of. James even helped me take my veil off when no one else could get it out of my hair! My wedding photos turned out flawless and truly captured the essence of our special day. If you are looking for professional and elegant photographs, James and James Michael Photographers is the place to go.

My wife and I were married in Tarrytown at the Castle on the Hudson in May. James and his team -- including the hilarious Gene -- were incredible all the way through and I can't recommend them highly enough. They took a journalistic approach to shooting us, stayed out of the way for plenty of candid moments (including my father and brother in a late-night dance-off) but also made sure to get the requisite pre- and post-ceremony shots that we're sending to family for the Holidays.

I'm writing as a groom who wasn't super involved in the decision to hire James but was thrilled beyond belief with the results.

We have had such an amazing experience working with James Michael Photographers. The photographers are so personable and professional. They put us completely at ease on our wedding day and we actually forgot they were there for most of the wedding because they blended in so well. The pictures are exquisite and they captured all of the important moments from the wedding. They were extremely punctual, even early and were very efficient with our time at the wedding because my husband and I did not see each other before the wedding. We were able to enjoy some of our cocktail hour after the formal portraits were complete. They took a nice combination of traditional formal pictures and photojournalistic pictures.

Working with James Michael Photographers was so much fun! We could tell from our Engagement photo session with James how enjoyable and easy it is to work with him. I’ve been in four weddings so far and I always dread the photo sessions. They’re long, boring, and just drawn out. NOT with JMP. James and Gene made us laugh the ENTIRE time on our wedding day. Our huge bridal party told us how much fun they had taking these pictures; you can even see their laughter depicted in these photos. The time passed so quickly and our photo session was actually one of the highlights of our wedding day.

At first, my husband and I were trying to find the lowest-priced photographer to keep our wedding costs down. We quickly realized that YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR in this industry. James Michael Photographers is priced well, but there are other companies out there that do package deals such as DJ/Videographer/Photographer...DON'T BE FOOLED. These companies are usually masters at DJ'ing and not the other two services. I’m giving the sound advice that this is WHERE YOU NEED TO SPEND YOUR MONEY. These pictures will last a lifetime and besides video, it’s all you have to remember on one of the most important days of your lives.

We ended up hiring two photographers for our wedding because we wanted more then just the “portrait” shots. We wanted photojournalistic “candid” pictures that would catch the moments that weren’t posed. We weren’t sure about the additional cost at first, but are now so thankful that we went ahead with two photographers. James Michael Photographers does an amazing job with one photographer, but they are UNBELIEVABLE and OVER-THE-TOP with two! James is truly an artist at his trade. You can tell that he LOVES his work as he’s running up to show you the mind-blowing photo he just captured. James was all over the place behind the second photographer taking all sorts of artistic shots from different angles. He really captured the emotion on people’s faces, which is often missed with other photographers.

James Michael Photographers were super quick with our online and printed proofs. They were ready when we came back from our honeymoon. When we watched the slideshow of all our pictures…it TRULY took my breath away and I was in tears. They were beautiful, elegant, interesting, and unexpected all at the same time.

I would HIGHLY recommend JMP for all your photography needs-not just weddings. You WILL NOT be disappointed. I am a MAJOR skeptic of all vendors but James put my mind at ease during the planning process. They offer amazing assistance with helping create the perfect wedding album for you as well. To sum it up, you have an artist working for you whom will go above and beyond his call of duty to get you the most unique, stunning, and memorable photos that you can ask for.
