Jimmy Chan Photography

Jimmy and his assistant were the perfect duo to help photograph our wedding. Not only did I receive a completely professional service but his energy and creativity during our shoots was better than I could have imagined. He is extremely personable and friendly, made everyone including our bridal party feel comfortable. He was always flexible with scheduling and worked through fees and questions very easily and attentively. Highly recommended!

Jimmy photographed our wedding in the summer of 2014. He was a referral from a close friend. We were looking for someone who we could connect with personally to explain our intentions for the photography of our wedding and the reception that followed.
Jimmy was very responsive with both emails and phone calls. We coordinated a few discussions early in our engagement and had some discussions closer to the wedding date. We explained that we wanted to capture our preparation for the ceremony, the ceremony itself, some formal photography at the church and the entire reception. Jimmy was thoughtful and scoped out our Church to determine how he could best capture the procession, ceremony and first kiss. We met in person the night of our rehearsal, but from the first phone call, I knew that we were engaging someone who understood us completely and we felt so at ease.
During such a hectic day, Jimmy and his co-​photographer were both professional and comforting. When I dealt with a set back with the makeup artist, Jimmy and his co-​photographer accommodated the changing arrival time and put our anxious minds at ease. Our typically camera shy family and friends were also engaged by their manner. Throughout our reception, many guests commented on their approach and ease with capturing such candid moments.
As part of our thank-you’s, my husband and I were able to print off individual moments of our guests during our wedding. There was a captured personal moment for each person. I truly appreciate being able to share these moments with our guests and many commented how appreciative they were of this gesture.
Jimmy was such a pleasure to work with and the moments he captured are those we’ll treasure for a lifetime. Many currently hang in our home and I look forward to viewing them for years to come!

Jimmy is a true professional! My fiancé and soon-​to-​be husband asked Jimmy to take photos of our surprise proposal. I love how he was able to capture the moment so perfectly — including my #uglycryingface and trust me I cried an ocean that day. He also got some great portraits of us that we used on our instagram and wedding website. There’s one of me popping my leg as Anne Hathaway showed us in Princess Diaries. I sure felt like a princess that day. I’ll cherish these photos forever! Thanks Jimmy!

My wife and I have hired Jimmy to take photos on a number of occasions. His photos always come out wonderfully and we have received endless compliments. From photos of an ice skating session to a walk through the Conservatory Garden, Jimmy is able to capture the spirit of the season, and he draws out the best in both the subject and scenery. He has an awesome personality and makes photo sessions fun.
Jimmy is extremely meticulous. He has taken couples photos at the Conservatory Garden many times, so he pretty much knows the place inside and out. Still, when we took photos there, he showed up a half hour early to scope out the conditions and the crowds. He balances setting up poses and capturing spontaneity, and he provides live feedback to make sure that the photos you get back are perfectly captured. This level of care and preparation is a rare trait, and it definitely shows in the results.
Today, photographers frequently use filters excessively or over-​saturate their photos. Jimmy has a strong understanding of how to work with the available light to get perfect contrast and colors. You’ll definitely appreciate this fact when you print out photos or create a photo album. Also, Jimmy stands apart from many other photographers because he gives you free license to all the photos from his sessions — some other photographers will charge you for each photo that you want to keep.
Ultimately, what people should seek out in a photographer are (1) skill with the camera and light, (2) ability to frame a moment, and (3) great and willing personality. Jimmy possesses all these traits. After each session, we tell Jimmy he should charge more, but he always keeps the price the same. We highly recommend him.
