Reviews from my clients, my studio by the numbers, and what exactly makes a Jay Barr Bride.
My priority is helping couples look and feel confident without ever overthinking the camera. Most of my clients have no prior experience being photographed — and they don’t need it. I lead with clear, confident direction so you’re never wondering what to do or how you look, allowing you to stay present, relaxed, and fully enjoy your wedding day. When clients feel at ease and supported, they show up naturally — and that’s when the most meaningful images are created.
In addition to wedding-day coverage, each couple receives a complimentary photography-focused guide created to support a smooth, well-paced experience. This resource outlines what to expect from a photography perspective, helps prepare for portraits and details, and ensures everything is thoughtfully aligned long before the wedding day — allowing photography to fit seamlessly into the overall timeline and planning process.
At the heart of my work is relationship. My couples don’t walk away feeling like they hired a vendor — they feel known, supported, and genuinely cared for. I want to understand what matters to you, what brings you joy, and what makes your relationship uniquely yours, because that connection allows me to photograph your wedding with intention and depth.
This work has never felt transactional to me. It’s a relationship that often continues well beyond the wedding day — celebrating milestones, anniversaries, and the seasons that follow. Capturing your wedding is an honor I take seriously, not just because of the day itself, but because it marks the beginning of something lasting.
