Real moments.
Held still.

I’m Jay. I photograph the unscripted parts of a wedding: the nerves, the laughter, the room when nobody thinks the camera is there.

How I work

Unposed when it matters. Directed when it helps.

My Wedding Tale is built around candid, authentic coverage. I pay attention to the small interactions and keep the day moving without turning it into a photo shoot.

Coverage that follows the day.

Wedding-day storytelling, engagement portraits and the flexibility to bring a second photographer when the schedule or guest count calls for it.
