My fiancé and I spoke with Jay. He was very patient while we asked a lot of questions. He's very thorough and sincere. In the end, our date was booked by someone else. But that just shows he's in demand! Would recommend to at least interview him to see if he might be a fit for you. Thanks for everything, Jay.

Reviews
Hiring Jay to photograph our wedding reception at a large banquet hall was a fantastic decision! Leading up to the event, he was great at communicating our options and gave us guidance on what key moments to capture. On the day of, Jay was extremely professional, easy to work with, and provided helpful direction. I was also very impressed by the quick turnaround of sneak peaks and the final photo gallery. Highly recommend!
Jay was awesome to work with. He was easy to communicate with and extremely responsive. My daughter’s quinceanera preshoot and event were covered with professionalism. He had great ideas and input. I especially love all the candids he took on the night of the event. The pictures came out amazing. I am so happy with the quality. I would definitely recommend Jay to my family and friends for their events.
Jay was great! He captured the essence of our special day while providing direction and guidance! 10/10 would recommend!
Jason was very professional and did a great job at my industry event. Would definitely recommend him and would use him again!
Such a great professional photographer! Definitely recommendable and you wont regret hiring him 😀
Jayson’s responsiveness to any questions I had about the day of our wedding at The Newland Barn in Huntington Beach and the professionalism in his craft of capturing beautiful moments on the day of our wedding just fills our hearts with joy. Jayson was a joy to have as our photographer! His gentle and kind presence added to our vibe. As promised, he has sent out many teasers already. We can’t wait to see them all!
Jay did a maternity shoot by the beach for us and it turned out even better than I imagined!!! He was so professional and guided us through every pose so there was never an awkward “what do I do with my hands” moment. Highly highly recommend, will definitely be using him again for any shoots in the future!
Jay did an amazing job as our wedding photographer. He captured our most important moments as well as many candids and some detailed shots of our decor. He also did a few artistic shots and edits that came out amazing and we absolutely loved them. We highly recommend booking Jay for your next event!
Jay was amazing! The photos turn out great! So happy 😁
Working with Jay was the easiest/smoothest experience! I didn’t have to stress about anything. He showed up on time, we were running late and he just went with the flow. Absolutely obsessed with the outcome. Thank you Jay, we will be using you every time we are visiting!
We had Jay take photos of our engagement and he did a spectacular job! Showed a lot of professionalism and helped capture our magic moment. On top of that he came with a great attitude and made sure the photo shoot following the proposal was fun and playful. I would definitely recommend Jay to anyone who needs a photographer as the shots came out amazing and we were very happy with the final results!
Jay was a great find. He somehow disappeared in the back ground of our corporate party but at the same time managed to get great pictures of everyone. His pictures turned out great. He showed up early and delivered the pictures and video super fast. Highly recommend. Will be using him again.
We were vacationing in California and wanted to have family portraits so I was researching photographers and Jay was very responsive and gave me all the answers to my questions. We booked the appointment and he communicated all the way up yo the shoot. He was very professional, patient, and easy to work with. Our family portraits came out beautifully.
I 100% recommend Jay! We worked with him for a maternity photo shoot at the beach and had such a great experience. He made us feel comfortable from the start, was super professional, and his work is absolutely beautiful. He was also very flexible and easy to coordinate with. I’ll definitely be booking with Jay again for our next shoot!
We hired Jay to do our photography and videography for our gender reveal. When we were choosing between vendors, Jay was super responsive and flexible, which made the decision to hire him easy. When Jay and his videographer arrived, it was clear they came prepared with a game plan. They worked within the flow of the event, but also helped organize everyone for specific shots. The results speak for themselves. We definitely will reach out to Jay again for our future photo needs.
Jay took my college graduation photos and they turned out amazing. I absolutely love them! He guided me the whole time and came up with ideas for taking photos. They turned out better than I could’ve hoped. A perfect way to celebrate and remember a huge milestone. I look forward to using his services again in the future. Thank you again Jay for the photos!
I couldn't be happier with my choice to book Jay for my graduation picture!! I have never done a photo shoot before and Jay was easy to work with and helpful. I plan to book him in the future and recommend him to anyone who asks.
I felt compelled to write Jason a review because he is a extremely gifted photographer. Let me start by saying I was extremely nervous I was going to botch the shoot with my lack of experience. However with Jason direction, my vision come to light. He superseded all my expectations. He's 100 percent professional, and I felt very relaxed working with him . Furthermore, he sent me all my photos in a timely fashion. I will absolutely be using Jason again in future shoots. I'm so grateful I found him :)
I worked with portsbyjay recently to get a photo shoot done of me in my art studio. He came with great ideas, was on time, and was extremely professional. And the photos came out spectacular and I did not need any revisions. The photos had so much warmth, air and life in them, they were showcasing me exactly as I was. Thank you portsbyjay! I highly recommend him for your next photoshoot!!
