Here is a bit about the approach that I take, and the experience you're about to have with me...
I take a very documentary and photo journalistic approach to your wedding day...capturing genuine emotions, candid moments and the raw connection between you and your partner on the happiest day of your lives. I care just as much about capturing how your day feels (possibly even more), than I do about how it looks. I prefer to come into your wedding with no huge shot list or preconceived idea of exactly how the day will go...i've been doing this long enough to figure out exactly what's important to you and your wedding day. Through observation, I spot the true connections, true emotions and true feelings of your day....then capture it!
The great outdoors is where I feel at home and I feel that this is a huge asset to my work as a wedding photographer, making sure that you and the landscape perfectly compliment each other in a natural way
My photography journey started with my grandpa's old 35mm film camera shooting landscapes on hiking and backpacking adventures.
We're awkward in front of the camera, what is your process for posing?
Can we add a day-after or day-before session for even more epic photos?
Do you feel comfortable shooting our venue if you've never been there before?
Will you travel to shoot our wedding?
Do you have recommendations for other vendors?
We're awkward in front of the camera, what is your process for posing?
I can assure you, you're not! You just haven't had the opportunity to feel comfortable in front of a camera. My style includes a lot of motion and prompts and you'll probably forget i'm even there. I know exactly how to "pose" you by guiding you

Cannot say enough great things about Jaysn and his work. We came to AZ from Boston to shoot our engagement photo session and he was super accommodating and captured our vision flawlessly. He walked us through everything, poses etc. and made the shoot a breeze. After being super impressed with his work on our engagement session we decided to book him for our wedding as well. Jaysn was very easy to contact and quick to respond to any questions we had leading up to our wedding. On the day of, he was super organized with his timeline (we even finished the shots with time to spare :)). Our families and friends continue complimenting how great Jaysn was. His work is truly UNBELIEVABLE- exactly what we were looking for.
"I seriously cannot recommend Jaysn enough."
CADIE & DUSTIN
He went above and beyond to help make our elopement special. He was responsive, flexible, and so talented. He was so patient and kind and we could not be more happy with our pictures. He truly made our day special. He worked with us to create a package that fit our family. He eased any stress that started to arise for me. I would choose Jaysn over again a million times. If you’re looking for a talented photographer who’s reliable and makes you feel comfortable, he’s your guy!
"Nothing but great things to say about Jaysn."
JENNIFER JOYCE
He was wonderful to work with for our wedding. He responded quickly, even during a busy wedding season, and captured amazing moments of our day. He listened to our ideas and made sure they all were possible. He made us feel comfortable for our couples portraits and made it fun even in the rain! We were hoping to get at least a few pictures we liked from our wedding day and we ended up LOVING SO many of them! We highly recommend him for any special moment, especially your wedding. Thanks for all your hard work Jaysn! We have pictures we will cherish for a lifetime.

He accommodated a last minute booking due to our wedding changing from Costa Rica to a US destination wedding. He was responsive and easy to work with. Day of the wedding he was much more then a photographer. He stepped in and help in several areas where my wedding coordinator failed at and also handled some other difficult vendors gracefully. He was so calm and easy going. I truly appreciate how much he did for us at our weddings and most importantly I love the forever memories he captured for us. We are were so lucky to get to work with Jaysn and I highly recommend him!
"Jaysn came through with everything we wanted."
JESSICA KNAPIC
The scenery, the photos, the captured moments .. just everything what I wanted ever in a photo shoot. He was so fun to work with and always made sure he for the shot wherever we were. He even worked with my indecisive self since I couldn’t decide on where we really wanted these pictures and to top it off that was changed extremely last minute. I can’t recommend him enough! If you love Jaysn’s profile I guarantee you will be satisfied with the outcome of your photos. I can’t thank him enough for taking these pictures for us!
