LOVE LOVE LOVE Jan & Tey! They photographed our wedding in October 2012 and I could not have been happier to hire them to shoot our wedding. I had very high standards for my wedding photographer. I didn't want just want wedding pictures, I wanted AMAZING wedding pictures! Something that looks like it comes from a magazine and something that I can hang up in our house as art, not just some cheesy posed stare-at-the-camera-and-smile wedding portrait. (No offense to anyone that has those types of wedding pics....just not mine and my husband's style). Jan & Tey absolutely delivered and our photos turned out better than we could have imagined! Jan & Tey will capture amazing shots and you will never know they were there and that you were capable of looking that good in your photos. Haha. They capture the candid moments of your wedding day so beautifully, you can really feel the emotion in their photos. The day flew by and was such a blur, but whenever I look at my wedding pictures, I can remember how I felt at that moment. Jan & Tey are that good at what they do.
They not only do amazing candid shots but do fantastic posed portraits! They will NOT look cheesy and they make you look like models! My husband and I are kind of awkward when it comes to getting our pictures taken, but you would have never guessed from our pictures because Jan & Tey did such a great job with the poses so that they looked natural. In our engagement shoot w/ Jan, it was a little weird at first because it was our first time getting photos taken of us and being posed for pictures but Jan made us feel comfortable and we soon loosened up and our pictures turned out great! Their photos are so creative, unique, dramatic, and beautiful. You won't be disappointed!
They are not cheap and I was a little discouraged at first because I loved their work and I didn't want to pass on Jan & Tey and just settle for someone cheap, but I did have a budget I was trying to stick to since my husband and I were paying for the wedding ourselves. To my surprise, they were willing to work with us on pricing and we were able to hire them! I did splurge a little bit but this was one area of the wedding I wasn't really willing to cut corners on and I was so happy they were willing to work something out with us.
It did take a while to get our pictures back but they had informed me that they were relocating out of the country to take their business to the Philippines (bummer for us) so they were a bit backlogged on their weddings. I will say that it was well worth the wait though because our pictures are fantastic! I'm so bummed that they are no longer in the states because I would love to have them shoot more photos for us in the future. I still wanted to write this review for them because I think they deserve it! read more
