Jay Ackerman Photography

Jay did an outstanding job as our wedding photographer. We could not be happier with the outcome! He was a pleasure to work with throughout our planning process and was especially pleasant on our wedding day. Jay works quickly and efficiently at all types of events and the quality of his photos is unrivaled. All of our guests have commented about the excellent photos he produced since, within a few days of our wedding, he had already put together web-albums that we could share with friends and family. We cannot recommend him more highly. Jay is particularly adept at photographing children at weddings and takes group photos very rapidly so as not to hold up the festivities. He also took some great engagement photos several months before our wedding which was a good warm-up for the wedding weekend. I would strongly encourage anyone to consider Jay for their wedding needs.

Jay was a fantastic addition to our wedding. He photographed my husband and I as well as all of our guests in very natural, candid pictures that turned out beautifully. Everyone looks incredible and the lighting is always perfect. He really managed to capture the laid back and fun essence of the entire weekend with such beautiful photos. We hardly ever even saw him, but he was always there!!!

Jay was very accommodating with us our pictures turned out great! He is very creative and made us feel relaxed in front of the camera and got all the people we wanted pictures of at the wedding without making it too "formal".

Jay is an all around great photographer. He will listen to your ideas and give you great suggestions and feedback. Jay is firm with everyone involved in a picture- which is great for a BIG family! With 8 + children under the age of 9 and 5+ sister in laws, it can be impossible to capture a great picture in less than 30 seconds, but Jay knows how to. Lucky for us, we had our pictures COMPLETELY done before cocktail hour. Jay is also very timely. He had our pictures on the website within one to two days after our wedding. Without Jay's hard work and prompt responses to all emails and phone calls, I would have zero done for my album. I received my album shortly after Jay and I double-checked and reviewed every detail in May. Our entire wedding day was captured perfectly in an elegant sapphire album. Friends and family have made many remarks about his work. We will continue to contact him for future events.

Jay, from a brief conversation could extrapolate our vision for how a wedding album should look. I am heading towards my first anniversary and haven't been able to pair down my choices because so many photos were great. Jay is creative and smart. He is in complete control of the results. His role as a vendor at my wedding was the most satisfying.

Jay is an amazing wedding photographer and wonderful to work with. I cannot recommend him enough! He has a remarkable talent to capture the true spirit of the event and the story of the day unfolds naturally through his photos. He also blends in seamlessly and the camera never feels intrusive, which is one of the reasons is able to capture such natural, candid, beautiful photos. Jay was a consumate professional throughout the entire engagement, wedding and album assembly process. His vast experience really showed through the guidance he provided with respect to every aspect. We have received so many rave reviews from friends and family on our wedding photos and I can't wait to see our finished product! Simply put, Jay is a wonderful photographer and you will be so pleased if he is the one to document your special day!

Jay was able to get everyone at my wedding celebration to look natural and happy to be there. He found a spot in Central Park I wouldn't have thought of for pre-celebration pictures, and I think he even managed to trim a few years off the bride!

I couldn't be happier with my wedding photos and my experience working with Jay. He is a true professional and perfectionist and has a great eye and style. He goes out of his way to find interesting angles and unique shots. He is efficient, agreeable, and almost invisible as he works. He is good about listening to desired shots but also proactively offers his professional opinion on what will work best. I highly recommend Jay to any bride that wants a beautiful selection of photos that capture all the special moments but are not the typical posed pictures usually associated with wedding photographers.

Hire Jay! It will be the easiest wedding decision you will make!

Jay did a great job, and all our pictures turned out beautifully. Our wedding album is something I will cherish forever and his input on it and work laying it out made all the difference
