Testimonials

"We came across CJ when searching for a photographer for our sailboat ceremony. We met with CJ over facetime and were immediately set on working with him. His personality fit seamlessly into our group of 25 guests. Our family was talking about how great he was to be around for months after our wedding. He made the day a breeze. The photos turned out amazing - we couldn't have been happier with our experience."

- Paul & Megan
