Raves
Here are a few recent, unsolicited cards and e-mails we have received... leave your own rave on our Facebook page if you like! Hi Judd and Josh, Now that I'm back from the honeymoon - I wanted to make sure I sent you a HUGE thank you for how amazing you both were on my wedding day. Austin and I kept talking about how glad we had you guys as our photographers. You guys went above and beyond to help ensure everything went smoothly - and for that, I'm so thankful. On top of all of that - the photos I have seen so far have been amazing, and I'm not joking when I say EVERYONE keeps talking about how much they loved the slide show after dinner. |
|
I really couldn't have asked for a better staff at Studio J to work with on my wedding day. You all have made everything from planning my wedding, to engagement photos, to the actual day, extremely easy and enjoyable. My wedding was an absolute dream for me - thank you for making it happen! Cheers! - Kelsey and Austin Hauge
These images are another reminder that even though the facility has upgraded and now boasts the coolest bar in Stillwater (is that a real hatchet?!?) some things remain the same. Passionate and incredible people shooting lights-out (pun intended) pictures. Thank you for making all of us look way cooler than we really are. Except for Natasha and Quinn who are actually that cool. Easily the best money we spend every year - except maybe Punch Pizza which is God's (continuing) gift to all of us. - Annie and Timm Ideker
Judd and Josh - you truly have a gift! Your ability to take something ordinary and make it extraordinary is unlike anyone's work I've seen. It was a blast working with you and then partying with you later in the evening. Thank you! Meagan (wedding planner bride) and Stan
Your photos Rock!!! It was great to have you here, and I can't believe you went all night then straight to Boston. Rock Star!! - Sam von Trapp
Your photos are absolutely amazing! Thank you again for sharing your incredible photographic talents with us. - Lynne von Trapp
I have really enjoyed your pictures! Most of them I didn't know you were taking, you have a great eye, we all agree. My favorite is the black and white dancing shot, it is really perfect. - Elisa von Trapp
Judd, you guys are the BOMB! Yes I am the father of the bride, but your work is so cool and creative. I have shared your pics and video with many and they cannot believe the quality level and creativity used. I would highly recommend you to anyone and in my view there is no better that I have ever seen. Not only are you top professionally, but you both are very likeable people and that makes it all worth it. Thanks so much for making my wonderful daughter and son-in-law look so cool in your work. You both are at the top of your game and I cannot thank you enough. - Steve
Thanks again for your wonderful, wonderful work at the wedding...You and your crew should get the award for best photographers ever! - Cat & Chris
(Senior session) Hello! My parents seem very excited to see the ones you took today! Thank you so much, I truly had a great time! All three of you were terrific and very fun to work with. And you're certainly creative, I am pumped to see them all! Ps: I found my necklace! I just didn't look hard enough! Again, I loved today! I hope they turned out well! - Constance
Judd: Steve and I watched the video early this morning and were both so touched by it – I love how it was put together, and having something like this that captures how much we care about each other is so special. We had such a fun time shooting with both of you and you made it so easy to just relax and be ourselves. You were able to bring out our personalities and reflect who we are through the photography and video.
Hi Judd! Can't thank you enough for you and your team! We had a blast! Your photographer you sent (Josh) was an absolute doll! We all had a lot of fun and I loved seeing him integrate well with our other photographers and everyone working together to accomplish capturing our day! I truly appreciate your call on Saturday AM too... we are thrilled and can't wait to see the final product! Thanks! Shannon :)
OMgosh, Judd!!! Love it Love it Love it!!!!!!!!! Thank you! You're amazing!! Thank you!!!!! Anastasia
Judd, I wanted to thank you for the beautiful pictures you captured on our wedding day - we were so excited as we looked through them. I also wanted to say thank you for the surprise slideshow at the wedding - it was awesome! We got so many compliments on your pictures! Eddie and I will ABSOLUTELY recommend Studio J to everyone! Thanks again! - Cyndi and Eddie
Judd & crew, Thank you SO much for doing SUCH a great job on our wedding day with the photography and videography. We were so impressed with everything and we really appreciate all the hard work put in to making our day perfect! Thanks again! Love, Julie and Dustin
This card does not have enough room to show you how thankful I am for Studio J. We owe you the world for all the wonderful photos you took. You and your crew were so professional and fun! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! - Mike & Chrissy
Judd - We just wanted to thank you again for doing such a great job with the pictures and video of our wedding. both turned out AMAZING! Thank you for making our day extra special - we will continue to recommend your business to everyone! We've received tons of compliments on both our photos and video - thanks! - John and Sara
We would definitely recommend Studio J. They all did an amazing job and so many people commented on how wonderful and professional they were. The pictures turned out great and they all helped us feel relaxed during the big day. – Aaron and Ellie
Hiring Studio J was the best decision my husband and I made during our wedding planning. They were so professional and fun! They even stayed for extra pictures past their contracted time... and stayed for the dance to have some fun with us. Judd is an artist and his pictures speak for themselves... simply breathtaking. We have gotten so many compliments on all our photos. You definitely get what you pay for and I highly highly recommend Studio J! – Ben and Melody
It is absolutely necessary that we show our appreciation for the wonderful photographs taken by Judd and his staff. From the very beginning to the very end of the day they were polite, professional and extremely helpful (running to buy a memory card for the maid of honor’s camera.) Judd made everyone feel comfortable. As a result, none of our pictures look overly posed or unnatural. They took a lot of candid shots that turned out to be some of our favorites. I would wholeheartedly recommend Studio J – we wanted our photographs to capture all the emotion and activities of our wedding day and he did so with class. Thank you. Scott and Heidi Kadlec
Thank you so much for everything! I knew the moment I saw your work that you were amazing photographers. I also wanted to say thank you so much from everyone involved with our wedding. You and your staff were incredible and so fun to be around. I'm actually kind of sad that I don't get to hang out with you guys again :o(. You really made our wedding day the best it could be. You were so organized and energetic, and as you know from the first day we met, I am in love with your photography. Your laid-back style fit with Ben and my personalities completely. I just want you to know that if you need a testimonial or anything just let us know. We owe you!
My family and friends could not have had more incredible things to say about you guys, and believe me some of them are extremely hard to please! Everyone could not stop complimenting us on the growing up video as well. It was incredible! You really are great at what you do and we really enjoyed having you at our wedding! I can't wait to see the pictures! If they are anything close to the ones posted in your blog, I am going to cry my eyes out! (After the wedding…) Oh my gosh, the pictures are so beautiful! Really, I could not be happier with them! I did cry when I saw the Bug page. – Ben and Melody
Judd - Thanks much for doing our Christmas card again this year. We are very happy with it and it’s been so fun working with you. Mark and I are still feeling a bit “drained” from both weddings that have taken place in the last year! You captured many, many treasured photos from both weddings and I applaud you! Each time I view wedding day photos from both weddings, I get very emotional. You indeed “got the moment in time.” We wish you and your family the very best and thank you again for playing that important role of photographer for Dusty and Lindsay! You are the BEST! - Carol
Dear Judd, Amanda, Joe and Josh,
Thank you for all your hard work videotaping and taking pictures at the wedding. You all looked professional, and a lot of the time I did not even know you were getting pictures. The album online looks amazing and our video does a great job highlighting the day. Sincerely, Amber and Eric
Judd did an awesome job on the wedding day, He was so personable to work with and was very professional with the way he conducted himself. The product is better than I could have ever imagined or asked for. The pictures are absolutely beautiful and he captured so many magical moments. I would highly recommend Judd and Studio J to anyone looking for a wedding photographer, or for any other special occasion! - Lindsay :)
I just want to tell you that you all did an awesome job and I really appreciate all that you guys did. I really liked how you guys just fit in to our weird humor and were part of the family! Thanks again so much, hopefully your next wedding isn't so warm! –Carly (Maid of Honor)
Studio J and Judd were fantastic! Our guests also thought so; they loved how the photographers interacted with them. I have two friends getting married and have recommended Studio J to both of them. We were a little high maintenance when deciding on our picture order and Judd was so helpful and didn't make me feel like a bother at all. I couldn't be happier, thank you! – Jacob and Lacey
Thank you SO SO SO much for the album, calendar, canvas and DVD. We love everything! I am so happy with our pictures. I think that having you as our photographer was one of the best decisions I made for the wedding! I love the end of the growing up video. It definitely made me cry! I just wanted to say thanks one more time. I appreciate your hard work and artistic talent. You are exactly what we wanted in a photographer!
Hi, Judd! I just wanted to let you know how thankful we are to you for making it possible to have you personally do our daughter's wedding pictures. Laura is just thrilled (!!!), as the photography is one of the most important aspects of the wedding to her. After the wedding fair we had talked about how much better we liked your work than the others, but even more importantly, you seemed like an honest, down-to-earth person, unlike many of the others we met there. Perhaps part of it was because you said you were a teacher, since my husband teaches in a high school as well. We didn't think it would be even possible to have you, and I told Laura that day not to get her hopes up. However, when we met with you yesterday, you genuinely seemed to care about Laura's desire to have you do her pictures. – Vicki
Well everyone loves our book and canvas. We get so many compliments. Over Thanksgiving I brought the book down to my home town to show all my high school friends and the consensus of opinion was that Ben and my wedding pictures were by far the best anyone has ever seen! :o) I'm secretly gloating... A lot of the people I've talked to said they wished they would have spent more time researching photographers so that their pictures would have turned out half as good as ours! – Mel
Jeff and I went through the pictures this afternoon and they look GREAT!! We just love them. You did a great job. Thanks so much! – Laura and Jeff
Studio J is an amazing!!! Judd's attention to detail is excellent. His concepts and ideas are phenomenal and he is more then willing to work around a budget. I would STRONGLY recommend him for any event! ~Amoreena Happy Customer of Studio J.
