James was really great from beginning to end! Made the night a very memorable one by curating a great dj playlist as well as capturing amazing moments throughout the night. Would work with him again in a heartbeat!

he shot my engagement photos and my wedding photos and did an amazing job. he captured all the moments and all the shots i requested plus some I hadn't even thought of. if I were to ever do an event and needed a photographer I would hire him evry single time. he truly did an amazing job
You made my day special.I can't wait to see my photos.Thank you for everything.I will definitely be recommending you to everyone!!
❗️❗️He double booked us. This has caused immense unnecessary stress less than 2 months from our wedding day. We are 21 and 22 and are quite literally taking care of everything ourselves. He had dinner with us and then at the end of the night he acted like he would see us at the wedding. 30 minutes later I have a refund and a cancelled contract. I appreciate the refund at least. Thanks so much!
We had an excellent experience with our DJ at the company party. He was friendly, professional, and knew exactly how to read and work the crowd. He kept everyone engaged throughout the event and created a great atmosphere from start to finish. In addition to the music, his photography was outstanding. He captured all the key moments beautifully and didn’t miss a thing. On top of his talent, he has a great personality and was an absolute pleasure to work with. We would highly recommend him for any event.
We are so happy that we hired James to DJ and photograph our wedding and ceremony. He worked with me on my wedding timeline and was attentive to the music that got our crew dancing. The photos turned out beautifully. We received over 300 photos in less than a week following our wedding. When factoring in value and quality, I would 100% recommend JD Photography and DJ to anyone needing these services!
We had a great experience with JD Photography on our wedding day. He was very pleasant to work with, punctual, and professional. We had both JD and his assistant shooting photos, which captured all the important moments as well as joyful expressions of each of our guests. I highly recommend JD Photography!
I highly recommend their services. They did a great job and was professional on time and responsive. The photos were great
Review for JD Photography and DJ Services – 5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had the absolute pleasure of working with JD Photography and DJ Services for our daughter’s wedding on September 12, 2025, at Tennessee River Place in Chattanooga, TN, and I can honestly say—he was perfect in every way. From the moment he arrived (a full two hours early just to make sure everything was flawless!), JD exuded professionalism, enthusiasm, and a genuine passion for what he does. He wasn’t just “the DJ”—he was the heartbeat of the celebration. The music? Unbelievable. He curated a playlist that was tailor-made for our daughter—from 50s classics and crooner tunes to ABBA, Taylor Swift, hip hop, country, “Rocky Top”, and even line dancers! The variety was incredible, and every transition felt seamless. What truly blew us away was the energy he created. He had everyone dancing, even people who never dance. He read the room perfectly, kept the vibes high all night long, and made the entire reception unforgettable. If you’re looking for a DJ who is organized, versatile, professional, and passionate—JD is your guy. We cannot recommend him enough. He helped make our daughter’s wedding truly magical. Thank you, JD, from the bottom of our hearts!
My wedding is in April, so he hasn't been able to do the pictures yet, but just working with him to get the info i need and to get the contract for my wedding has been great so far. He's been very professional and very patient with us while we figure out everything, and I'm excited to see how the photos turn out!
I would hire JD Photography and DJ for photography services again! There was exceptional attention to detail, good communication and planning, quick editing and delivery time, and a genuine passion of photography.
James was simply awesome!!! I booked him for my wedding and he was super responsive to communication and the day of the wedding he was early to set up and was the reason the party didn’t want to end!!! I would recommend him 100 times over if you’re looking for a DJ!!!
JD Productions provided superb service for our wedding and reception. James was easy to get ahold of and more importantly handled every problem we threw at him with ease(including requesting tracks 20 minutes before the ceremony!). The pictures turned out excellent with the crew arranging us as well as taking as many combination of family and friend shots as we desired. The DJ service had great audio clarity, just the right volume and a solid mix of genres to keep the dance floor groovin'. Happy to suggest them to anyone in their service area.
James was so great to work with for our wedding! He was so engaging with the guests and was able to get people on the dance floor and captured so many smiles! I was extremely happy with how the photos turned out! Thank you so much!
I can not recommend James enough! He did our engagement and wedding photos, and we booked him for a separate session for Christmas portraits with our dog. Each time, I was absolutely floored at the quality of the images! James was also very easy to work with and made us feel very comfortable. He even helped me out with music at the reception, which was above and beyond!! His assistant was also lovely, and between the two of them, they covered our event seamlessly! I am so grateful to have found him to cover the most important day of our lives, and will treasure these amazing pictures for the rest of my life!!! Do not hesitate to hire him!!!!
Absolutely blown away by James and his assistant! He provided both the DJ and photography services for our vow renewal ceremony and we could not be happier! He knew what to do to get people on the dance floor, and the photographs were breathtaking! Thank you!!! Captured our moments so perfectly!
We all were quite pleasantly overwhelmed with James and his wife. They covered our large venue as if they were a team of 12. We could not be happier. He is friendly and in touch with his crowd. As a DJ he knows how to get a party started and keep it flowing. He has a real feel for candid photography to capture special moments. I only have one daughter but if I had more he would handle all of our weddings. Trust this man. Hire this man.
Great job! Highly recommend! Thank you for making our special day perfect.
Mr. Dinsmoor was very fun and professional to work with. Our engagement photos came out beautiful, we even got them back the very next day! Make sure to book him, he was on time for our shoot and communicated with us the entire step of the way from the time we inquired to the day of the shoot.
We had our engagement photos taken today and I absolutely love them! James was great to work with. Very responsive in communication, punctual & professional. We look forward to him capturing our wedding photos.
