Welcome to J & J Photography - New York City

Having your photograph taken is a very personal (and often stressful thing). At J & J Photography, we're dedicated to creating not only beautiful images, but making sure you feel comfortable every step of the way. It's our job to remove the stress, allowing you to relax while we capture your personality and document the special moments in your life. We look forward to developing an ongoing relationship with you and your family as it grows and changes.

Photography is not just about creating images, but capturing moments that are worth remembering for a lifetime. I am very passionate about capturing these fleeting moments whether I’m photographing weddings, family portraits or special events. 

When I launched J & J Photography, I was exclusively a New York City Headshots photographer (and this still makes up a good portion of the studio’s business), but I’ve grown from being a headshot photographer for actors and singers to a photographer shooting corporate headshots, family portraits and at the request of my clients – to whom I owe a debt of gratitude - I’ve become a NYC Wedding Photographer.

I take a relaxed, casual approach to all my portrait work and consider myself a wedding photojournalist in that I do not intrude on my couples enjoyment of their wedding day – I let them enjoy their celebration while I capture beautiful, candid images that really capture their personality. Recently, we have received recognition in the same-sex community as a studio that is proud to stand up for marriage equality by offering an Inequality in Marriage discount for gay wedding photography.

Many of my clients first met me as their headshot photographer, then asked me to be their wedding photographer and subsequently, they’ve asked me to photograph their family portraits as their families have grown, which is why at J & J Photography we say “Your Life Is Our Focus.”

Nils & Anthony's New York City Wedding

April 29th, 2013

Nils and Anthony got married this past Saturday in one of my favorite churches in NYC - All Soul's - it's a beautiful church from a photographer's stand point - amazingly light and airy and a joy to work in (I did get a good laugh from the sign I came across when I attempted to access the balcony, though!).  I love the looks of pure joy...
